My son got the same color with the Z51 package....I’m not jealous much. At least I get to drive it without the car payment. 🤑
Lol that's awesome
I got my LT2 1 month ago, now have 2500 miles on it. Daily to work and travel, 30+ mpg highway. Miles of smiles!!! Totally love it. $85K out the door with CA Taxes plus. I would not sell for $130K. Waited 11 months, worth the wait.
The real question is how you get it for 60 grand. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right now, probably not possible, but in a few months, I’d say dealers will start making deals. This was a loan from a Chevy, so I didn’t purchase it
MilesPerHr ahhh okay
Crazy. It should have depreciated 8-12% but no covid 🤦🏽♂️
Julian Perez it should of depreciated as a result of covid, an economic recession, no one is buying a sports car without an incentive, yet these dealers are keeping their high markups and complaining about low sales
Or can it beat a used Hellcat..😂😂
If you compare this to Ferrari Lamborghini Ford GT Dodge Viper any of the above they are all over priced when you realize how great the C8 is .
Ah but those above mentioned cars will leave a C8 for dust above 80 mph.
MasterCarguy44 C8 will dust them on track
MasterCarguy44 except the viper and GT
@@networth00 A jet or turbo prop (aka turbine), sure.
And in 5-10 years what is the value
Best in-depth review of a car I've seen. Be nice to see it on track too. Great job!
I thought I'd seen virtually all the decent reviews of the C8 there were. Yours comes in as one of, if not, the best. I feel I have as good a sense of the pros and cons of the Vette I'm likely to get from a RUclipsr. Well done, Sir. Happy I've found your channel and will continue to follow your work, of course.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement, Marc! Glad to have you here 👍
Very good review! Love my C8. I pretty much have the exact same spec car! From a fellow RUclipsr I must commend you on the effort you put into this video. Very composed concise info, Good clear audio, stabil shots, and awesome mix of camera angles. I can ell you put alot of time into this video. Nice work. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback 👍
Hi mate,I like that your detailed,use a calm voice and vid quality good.
Keep going !!!!
All the best from Australia
Thank you for the support and kind words! I’ll keep it up 👍
He didn’t mention the dual radiator in the Stingray are on each side In the front and the Z51 gets an extra Heat exchanger in the right rear scoop for extra track cooling!
Great review, was watching on my TV had to hop on my phone to say great in depth review. That color is straight legit my favorite. Thanks the detailed overview.
Thank you for making the effort to comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍
I saw my 1st C8 today... Love at first sight.
Man oh man what a car. I’m buying one as soon as they become more available. The rear end looks great to me and I’m a front end lover. That’s a beautiful color as well.
Keep grinding brother
Really like this review! One of the best I've seen on RUclips! 👍
Bro that color looks insane on the c8, I can't wait till I hopefully buy one in a couple years 🤞
WHAT A FANTASTIC TUTORIAL
THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT SPEND TIME WITH ME UPON ON DELIVERY OF MY RAPID BLUE 2021
Big thanks. I’ve signed up to your channel
Thank you for subscribing!
Great walk threw!
Nice review! I'm hoping and anticipating the c8 zo6, version
Same! Thanks for watching 🙏
Awesome review man 👏, very detailed
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍
Two colour interior looks better than one colour..but anyway..its beautiful inside and out. It makes porsche bmw audi interiors look boring. The ford GTI.. well I'd ask for my money back. I prefer it over the mclarens interior. The front looks better than any car out there. Plus 2.8 seconds 0 to 60mph ..wow.
Nice guide👍
I agree. The wheels would be the first upgrade mod 💯
Damn she looks great
I enjoyed your description done well
Thank you! I appreciate your support 👍😁
Nice work Miles!
Thank you Blake!
It's great to see your channel grow! Thank you for all your hard work. I really enjoy your channel. Congratulations on you becoming a new daddy soon!
The PDR camera is not on the front bumper. It’s on the back of rear view mirror.
“Stuck” with it being a duel clutch, hardly being stuck. Cmon, I get the fun of manual but for the cost and performance, what you get is beyond awesome.
Have you driven a manual before? Paddle shifters are not the same as a stick regarding driver engagement.
Car design review in detail. I love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Looks like a fighter jet.
LOVE the Color!!!
Everything about that car is beautiful including that blue color. Even the square tail exhaust fits right in to me. Its design looks like it was inspired by Bob Lazar.....and built by Area 51 scientists.
No wonder we wanted to raid area 51
It’s crazy how he speeding on a mountain id be scared asl( I live in Illinois)
C8 Corvette?? I thought I was looking at the updated version of the Ferrari 360 Modena! 😳 Dont get me wrong, she's a beauty though.
Personally, I love those rims. Extra spokes are a terrific contrast to the usual one dimensional rims. As for the square exhausts. This is not the original Vette. That is the point. They look great.
I’m glad some folks like the look. Everyone is entitled to personal preference 👍
I agree… rims are very nice. They sort of form a polygonal design that remind me of the Lamborghini Diablo. The differences and departure from the original design is the point.
Th only car that GM takes producing seriously .
I lock the roof panel in place, in the truck, by placing the hand on the paint of the top. To close the front deck, hand on the paint. To close the rear deck, hand on the paint, unless I missed something.
Hopefully the 2021 will get a center exhaust system and get the Chinese rear looks to it , still looks like its worth the money as well
Really an underrated channel. Love the content!
Thank you! Hopefully it doesn’t stay that was for long 🤞
What car would you compare this too acceleration wise?
I love my 2020 Corvette stingray spider with 3LT Z-51 package🔥 content coming to the channel with the new kit build
Seats are 18” farther forward so they can improve balance and performance with a Mid-engine design. Dontav couldn’t get the bean counters at GM to build and everyone else took the idea and went racing. If you are going to drive mostly on the street don’t waist your money on the Z51 package unless you want it to ride like a Rock!
Nice video... how y’all are you
I’m 6-feet tall
If it performed better than a C7 it would be a competitor. It doesn't. GM released the stats: cheapest one ever sold was $69K, avg $83K, most expensive base model sold was $104K. Thats 2x the C7. Abysmal.
The V on the steering wheel is remembereccence of SPEED RACER .
To me, it’s more of a $70K car because you’ll have to get 2LT to make it livable. I’m not sure how people could live with base 1LT, when it doesn’t have the video mirror.
I am sure just like the camaro, you can buy the kit and replace the mirror and camera.
I agree that the camera and blind spot monitoring are pretty essential to mitigate the visibility problems, but the fact that it’s possible to buy a $60K Vette like this is nuts. And even at $70K, it’s such a performance value
@@benchoflemons398 the convertible is a 70K car. I bet the after market mirror might even have better quality than OEM.
bench of lemons Actually that is not true. I have a convertible on order and the 1lt does not come with the mirror camera and it has fewer speakers and some other lesser interior trim items than the 2Lt.
Actually GM have a diagram of the c8 with a 7 speed manual but the real excuse was the sales number from the c7 manual was not enough to offer it in c8. The Engineers already know how to get it done but GM management said no. They already had 911 lab cars for this very reason
Good video bro! Don’t listen to all the hate.. Any sensible car person will know this spec is closer to 80k... The truth is a base 1lt 60k spec looks basically the same on the outside as the one in the video. Just different wheels and wing. To me I’d rather have a 1lt, I’ll be going from a base 2015 mustang gt so this will be a huge upgrade regardless. I can’t wait for in a year or two so the market adjusts and used versions are sold for below msrp!
Thanks for the encouragement 👍
I love c8 it's a great car I sew it the frist time I fell in love with it
Dang, it hurt my heart a little when you savagely attacked the wheels/rims😭 These are my favorite by far.
Just one man’s opinion - everyone’s is valid! If you like them, power to you 👍
Beautiful
If I were to get a Vette it would be a manual transmission C6 or vintage C3.
nice I am waiting for 2021
Awesome awesome videos
🙏
You can upgrade on the spoiler
Yep. The 60k model is EASILY over 90k. Have not seen ONE UNDER 85k
The rear and spoiler is the worst part about this car. If they redesign it for the grand sport/ZR1 then I'll definitely consider it. Good review.
I agree, the could work on the rear a little
Totally agree. That rear end is UGLY!!!! Should have gone with modern rounded lights and not added that ugly black inlay.
If they would make the rear lights circle ⭕️ and fix that spoiler this car would be even better than it already is
To answer your question...that depends. There is no other so-called "supercar" to compare it to, at the similar price range. However, it seems to be holding its own with the higher priced exotics. When the Z06 or ZR1, or even the Zora comes out, it will most likely blow a lot of those pricey exotics off the road. But as far as reasonably priced sports cars, at the same price point, YES the C8 is the best performance car bargain? Just my .02 cents
Well said. I can’t wait to see what how the Z06 shakes up the supercar world
How comfy would the GT2 seats be in a week long trip? It looks to have half the padding of the standard seat.
They might get uncomfortable for that long a trip, but on a daily basis, they’re plenty comfy
Do you pay extra for the gt2 seats or is part of the lt2 package
Have to pay extra for those, or they are part of the 3LT pack
I should get up early and go into work so I can give you RUclips guys my money yeah thats a damn good idea I'm gonna do it later on I gotta get going
I like how they said the base model is starting @ 60 and they’re at the min for 80-90 to 100 thousand
Yeah that’s market value, you can still order a c8 at 60k
At the dealerships, they are price gouging, but you can order one for as little as $60K
Fully agree about the rear end being too busy and having too many contrasting shapes. The wheel design is also too busy for my liking. Other than that it's great. Still want a manual transmission option though. A manual option would have me looking at ways to get a C8
I personally like the wheels the rear end is a love it or hate it but me personally i love it
Just built one and for a specification up to my standards it cost 80,000 to me that is a big pass because of MARK UP and the delays with covid. Im gonna wait for that c8 z06 for sure
I'd say the ZL1/1LE is a better bargain for about 5k less than the as-tested price of this one.
I feel like the linkage could be routed in some creative way to make a manual work without cutting into the center structure of the vehicle, somehow.
That would be awesome if they figured it out 🙏
The Front Trunk HAS to be Pushed Down TWICE in order to properly Close it, that's how it was Designed & it says so in the Owner's Manual!
The new dual clutch transmission is great
I'm sure you like this more than the supra. How can you not?
I definitely do
I don't know how anyone could like the Supra, period. That thing is super ugly lol.
@@theforerunners5171 Not as ugly as a GTR.
@@theforerunners5171 facts dude, Supra fanboys are dumb asf lol
Heck yeah that's a bargain looks just like a Ferrari mixed with a Corvette if I wasn't in a apartment I'd definitely get it can't get it now because I don't have a garage to park it in my 2016 mustang GT when I first got it was hell in the winter months until I put on some winter only tires made driving it better on the snow and ice
I WOULD LIKE TO BUY A CONVERTIBLE 2021
. DO YOU HAVE ONE PLEASE?
I like the design EXCEPT for the front radiators lack of a real grille to protect them from rock and debris getting kicked up into them and damaging those radiators. That is a design flaw in my opinion.
Best channel ever
Thank you! Appreciate the support 👍
Oh they are 100k. People buy them for 60k at the dealership and sell them for double the amount. Thanks to the lack of amount being made right now because of covid-19. You can either get a 2020 base or a 2019 zr1! Hard to choose!
Well I do notice the Z51 spoiler and exhaust so I’m assuming this C8 has the upgraded Z51 package.
It does, yes
apparently the C7 has better frontward visibility which means that's a fail for GM, the purpose of a mid or rear engine vehicle is also so you can increase the road visibilty with a sloping hood. they did reviews that analyzed both the C7 and C8 and found the C7 to have better visibiity of the road. not that one would expect perfection from a company like GM but come one what happened to engineering a proper vehicle?
That’s total BS I own both a C7 Z06 and a C8 HTC and the C8 has way better front visibility. Not sure where your getting your info from but it’s wrong.
I want one exactly like this one but the exterior red and the interior half red and half black and the standard rims
So you want one nothing like this.
afmemphis hahaha what I meant was the z51 and same exact seats but different colors
@@juanparra4499 I like the GT1 seats.
Thats what i orderd 92000
Woow Nice 😄❤️❤️
Can’t wait to get mine what’s crazy used 2020 corvettes are lik 100,000 lol I don’t get it when you can go buy a brand new one fire59,000
"Stingray"
*it actually looks a bit like a stingray*
Yes, track time vs. Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini just to name a few!
Nice car
Without the rear spoiler, this car’s top speed is 195 MPH.
My dream car 🚘
Yes.
Looks much better without the spoiler
Unfortunately in Canada, u have to pay for a lot more options that are free in US. Lake blue metallic is almost $1000 extra =(
Bummer!
bY THE WAY, ELKHART LAKE BLUE LIKE THIS IS THE COLOR i WANT.
This is useful information.
44:00 Modjeska Canyon turnoff! Very twisty little road.
Good eye!
The car was aero dynamic before the Z51 spoiler was added. I don’t have a spoiler on mine and it looks better without it. The C4 was the last Corvette I had before the C8 and the exhaust was outboard on the C4 just like the C8. They could have put them in the middle because that where the muffler is but they just didn’t to make the performance exhaust to fit on the corners better!
your camera descriptions are so wrong. There is only 1 camera dedicated to the performance data recorder, and it is located at the top of the windshield. All others are backup/rear view/ front view cams.
this car is definitely a super car~
You get it for 60 grand by not buying all those pricey options you don’t need to have a really great Sports Car! Elkhart Lake was the Race Course like Le Mans before they built Road America. They use to race on local roads!
That’s a great tidbit - thank you!
Good review (but skip the giant water bottle next time, it wouldn't fit in most vehicles and no one buys a vehicle based on the ability to fit an oversized water bottle). Apart from that it was good info.
nice american muscle with targa top👍
The color is actually Elkhart Lake Blue not
Lake Elkhart Blue
I LOVE THIS CAR
Iam 5 11 1/2 can anyone tell me how the leg room is,is it more leg room than the c7?Thank you in advance.
Yes more leg room.
I’m 6-foot. No problems with leg room
@@MilesPerHr thank you sir!
It’s 2 quarts low in the transmission and it 100 dollars to filling it and you fave to take a bunch of stuff to fill it
Yes Best Sports Car for the Money.
The five open spoke wheels are the lightest and best even though all the critics complain of all the wheels. It started with one critic and the rest were just want to he’s. No one has an original thought in their heads.
