First time corvette buyer here, ordered my stingray last September and was just produced yesterday (6/13) after seeing this, going to make the last few weeks of wait time even more excruciating. The editing on this is immaculate Paul! Can’t wait to be on the road 🚀
Congrats, better late than never. I ordered mine last month, I was told a 6 month wait. I heard things was a lil faster now. I went with the orange & 1LT as it won’t be my daily, I got a 🐈 for that but I plan to drive the c8 just as much. What color & trim did you go with?
@@livinglife3230 congrats as well! That’s exciting. Not bad at all on the turn around time. Just went with a torch red 1lt non z51 just to get my foot in the door. Possibilities will be endless I’m sure in the next few years with all the new models. Hope you get to enjoy yours too faster than you expect 🏎️💨
@@TheBest-lw2de yeah was really hoping to get a 24 too when I ordered, but since they extended the production so far out there was no way. Hats off to you for your patience. Just went to medium size dealer in my area in southern indiana. (Kenny Kent Chevrolet) hope you get a nice thanksgiving surprise then!
These videos deserve so much more interaction then it seems like they get. It so cool and so informative! And those dad jokes, I mean, come on haha What’s not to love
Just a random question: did you use the DJI Mic for your audio in this video? I see a square magnet on your shirt that looks a lot like the ones my friends and I use for our videos.
I mentioned in your other video about telling you about drift events we go to. Completely forgot lol. But next event is on July 15 (i think) at Willow Springs. August is another huge event at Apple Valley Speedway. Definitely an exciting experience. My husband always gives ride alongs as well as other driver there.
Whats not a super car. Any Mustang, any Camaro, any Porch . What makes a corvette special is it leagues above those cars and that's what makes ta Corvette super.
The reason I wouldn't call it a super car is because the title is taken by the white Corvette my Uncle (and Aunt) owns. My Grandfather (his father) gave it to him (when he passed) and it's the most generous and wonderful thing he did for his son.
If you can get the car, you absolutely should treat yourself! Naturally aspirated engines are slowing fading out of production for most manufacturers and car purists are going to be wanting them. Maybe you can go to the Porsche Driving experience in California and test drive one of those cars to the limit!
The Lt1 is lighter and supposedly the Fastest of the 3 trims offered for the C8 Stingray! ;) But I understand if you want a safer vehicle with its blind spot monitoring system then yeah 2LT is the way to go!
I did put a deposit for this American Masterpiece, but I settled for BMW M550 because I have kids. I love my BMW M550, but still thinking of getting at C8 at some point.
If you want to drive 100mph go to the track. Only racers drive on the track. The car is practical . U are wrong the car is for anyone who can afford it. Heck Joe Biden has a corvette. How many times u use the back seat of your car. U can have a second car if u want to fetch luggage. U are wrong with your comments.
Any sources to point us toward to validate this? I know there have been issues but how many out of 100k+ produced and is that an acceptable % based on other similarly placed vehicles?
@@iampartsched There is literally no conclusive way to know without GM's internal stats. All I know for sure is my recently produced 2023 went to crap after 371 babied miles, and is waiting for a new trans with no ETA after 3 weeks, I suppose because they're on backorder which implies to me there's a considerable amount of cases. And the only other thing I know for sure is the number of people reporting similar issues on forums like corvetteforum increase almost every day.
@@badcholesterol that has to be quite the setback and so early in your ownership. I have seen examples in both that forum and mid engine but they amount in the 10’s. Many parts are on back order (high wings, carbon fiber, black wheels) so I don’t subscribe to the back order being validation. If I read correctly the tremec dtc is used in other vehicles as well so I wish we would know the underlying issue. I know previous years had pan upgrades but still seeing it in ‘23 is of concern as I have a ‘23 as well. But even if there are 1000, that is less than 1% failure rate. You are right, we will never know full numbers so we can speculate on both sides. I hope your situation is resolved timely so you can enjoy the miles and smiles worry free.
What do you think I should drive next? Also next weeks video is a fun car challenge with @merrelltwins LOL!!!
Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato!
Ferrari 488 Pista✨
Bugatti Veyron
McLaren 720s Spider!
I know not a thing about cars but I've always wanted a Camaro .. and older one though loll
This is so fun Paul!! I hope you enjoy making this series!!
Glad you liked it!!!

Which dealership did you go with

60000 for the hardtop and 72000 for the convertible I wish I could find it for those numbers out here in Connecticut.
its a supercar by far no other car in its price range can even come close to this level of performance
Super car stingray!!

Paul, this video is truly top notch! It couldn’t be better, hardly. I look forward to more car reviews!
The first drive & car review looks absolutely awesome! 💙
Puns are cars, now you’re talking my language 😂 Great work Paul! Can’t wait to see more car reviews!
Practical? Why not? My C8 is my daily driver - including trips to the grocery store.
Loved this Mr. Merrell! can't wait for the next one!
Gorgeous car!! I'm waiting for mine in 2024!!👌
What was the audio setup for the first shot?
If the 570S, Artura, Emira and 718s are not "supercars" but high-end sports cars I think the Stingray C8 is in good company.
570s is a F in supercar dummy wtf kind of drugs are u on? lol
Paul’s car review videos?? I’m down. Here we go!! 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
$72k price tag
paul: which makes it a really affordable car!
me, who can barely afford gas: holy shift! 😧
1:18 I like the red seats 😍😍
Cockpit is THE right word for sure!
🔥🔥
Mine should be here in 5 months, can’t wait. My 🐈 will have something to play with 🏎️💨💨💨

Fantastic video! Props to my cuz, Jared! Amazing talent 😁
Idk anything about cars. But that shift was cool!!
Love from our family to yours❤
as usual, sir. it's a pleasure, watching your content.
Paul is definitely the coolest dad on this channel
The Corvette looks great for Paul full black with blue two stripes. Or full black with blue windows
Holy shift! This car review is awesome, I'll be loving this series for sure! Thank you for such an amazing video!
Glad you liked it!!!
ohh yes the new series!
Love the review Paul! Since the girls took the cars! Time for a nice car!
Love the video Paul!
FINALLY!! He's back!!🎉 We've been waiting A LOT for a new video😭
Well... it's midnight here in Korea so... gonna watch it tomorrow AS SOON AS I WAKE UP❤
loved the video Paul! the filming and editing is so fresh!👌
Z06 does NOT go over 200 mph.
This video feels so professional but still has that Paul humor and I just love it. Keep it going 😊🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Great video!!! I’d love to see a review on a Lamborghini!
Finally we have a new video!!!
Missed u Mr . PAUL❤
Idk anything about cars but here for the content 💜💜
Please please please make more of these. Awesome review, Paul!
On it! Thank you for watching!!!
Normally I would say get it but let’s test drive the other cool cars before deciding. I mean it looks super standing still so…
Exactly...more reviews coming soon!!!
Love the new series.. cant wait to see what you have next.. American Muscle 💪 for the Win
It's 1LT not LT1
This was awesome! Would love to see more car reviews! Great work 💯 👍🏾
Gawtt dawgss! 😮😮🤠
Wow it looks cool 🔥🔥🔥
My Z06 is.....the Stingray is nearly, and maybe.
The reason I wouldn't call it a super car is because the title is taken by the white Corvette my Uncle (and Aunt) owns. My Grandfather (his father) gave it to him (when he passed) and it's the most generous and wonderful thing he did for his son.
It’s a sports car
Corvettes are so cool!
these car shots!
Looks fun can't wait for more
Stock Exhaust could’ve been better
this guy is the og dad youtuber⚡️⚡️
FIRSTT :)

Hey Paul ❤ have a great day!
If you can get the car, you absolutely should treat yourself! Naturally aspirated engines are slowing fading out of production for most manufacturers and car purists are going to be wanting them. Maybe you can go to the Porsche Driving experience in California and test drive one of those cars to the limit!
You’re so right!!! They are fading away it’s really sad!!!
Paul wanna see on Vinwiki and Goonzquad next haha
Cool car, but I still prefer the classic style version of the Corvette from the 60s and 70s.
nothing like mid engine cars. i build pontiac fieros. luv mid engine cars
That’s cool love Fieros!!
The turn signal thing wouldn't bother me as I never use them anyway...LOL!
Move over Jay Leno. 😎👍
Yes, get a vett paul!!!!
I would want the Lt2 instead of the Lt1
The Lt1 is lighter and supposedly the Fastest of the 3 trims offered for the C8 Stingray! ;) But I understand if you want a safer vehicle with its blind spot monitoring system then yeah 2LT is the way to go!
I'm 22 years old, and I'm finding it hard to decide between this and a supra. I'm not sure what to get 😫
I don’t think the two is in the same league. If you want to save a little money get a Supra or spend more and have more fun then get a C8.
❤@@alexnyc76
C8 all day....
Nice.
There’s a RUclipsr who jumped a C8 it’s the same person who jumped an Urus over an aventador
I have a better idea. Buy a Corvette…then give it to me.
I just won a 1lt!!!!!
This car can be driven as a daily use car. Who drives a car 100 mph all the time. I don’t agree with you. This car can be driven by almost anyone.
Yes, Supercar.....
It’s a Chevy it’s a sports car no it’s not a super car.
You hav e never driven a C7 Z06, I can tell...lol
I did put a deposit for this American Masterpiece, but I settled for BMW M550 because I have kids. I love my BMW M550, but still thinking of getting at C8 at some point.

Just a toy!
First!
70th Anniversary vome with an LT3 not a LT1.
Not a Super Car... Just an AMAZING Sports Car...
short answer: not if you dont enjoy your car being in the shop endlessly for transmission issues
