Ive never been a big Corvette fan, and certainly not a Chevy fan... but I've been watching the release of this vehicle since early this year and I will say, NOW I want a Corvette. If I had the money, this would be the first on the list. No joke, it's the real deal.
This car is definitely growing on me more I watch videos on it. Aside from the lack of a manual this thing is a true engineering machine and it will only push other manufacturers to produce the best performance for your money. No excuses now!!
I’m a big fan of manuals as well, but having been in a C8, the transmission matches it really well. It truly feels like a modern super car with that gearbox.
It looks pretty good when you are standing over it and looking at it from the front quarter or the side, but then you walk around to the rear and wonder why they didn't finish designing it. I'm a bit unhappy to hear that this car does not have that raw feeling; this is a sports car, it should not drive like a GT. That aside, the work that went into this car is the work GM needs to put into ALL of their cars.
@@studio-flash thats because bmw was too busy making a quality vehicle. they should have been like chevy and thrown the cheapest plastic they could find at it!
I love driving a good six-speed, but I'd also save to buy a car like this if it means 100% accurate downshifts on track. It's clear this was meant to be a track machine
Tenneco did a wonderful job on the exhaust. Valving that make it nice and quiet during partial throttle but really barks when you get into it. Hats off to them.
Agreed; But... I think I'd get about maybe 4-6 months into it and be ordering an aftermarket exhaust that's correctly welded/high in craftsmanship as a replacement for more fun/excitement.
I love everything about this C8 & especially the center control pod! It gives the C8 it's uniqueness and identity that no one else has & with this being a copycat world it is welcoming! Can't wait until some very indulgent & benevolent person presents me with one of these because of my indubitable charm & sarcasm!!
This is an excellent starting point because the gran sport/ Z06 models is where the racing enthusiasts flock too. This model is more of a chill ride have some fun in a relax way. Even the exhaust note is too quiet but easily the best base model corvette in history. Im glad Chevrolet basically took a pdk transmission and outfitted for a c8 which was a great move as its very similar in shifting response
I wish people would stop talking about what a great car this is for the money. This would be a great car at $120,000. My C8 LT3 is so much better than the $140,000 (probably $160,000+ today) 2016 AMG GTS if had. Faster, quieter, smoother, and the interior fit/finish and level of luxury is much more. The GTS was crude in comparison.
Fantastic car. Interior makes porsche look boring and dated. I prefer interior to mclarens. The centre stack is cool..if it were in a lambo..you haters would say how stylish and origi6it is. Talking about original the C8 has the best door handle/ air intake on any car. A design masterpiece. Front end is better than mclaren, any porsche etc. Seats are excellent, dash is cool. Back is fine but they could change it in future to keep people happy. Technology is amazing and price is untouchable by any other car marque. In a base model that can do 2.8 seconds for 0 to 60mph...wow!!!! Can't wait for Z06 or ZR1.
I’m curious how you know how good your shots look? Like, the framing is always solid on the walk arounds, everything’s there, you see the good stuff, it’s just so clean. And you’re doing it with a camera on your forehead. Like...what?
I don’t know how he does it, but the camera is always lower than any other pov channel’s setup, and it feels way more realistic than any other POV review.
How do you request the dealership to give you one for review? I'd really like to review one and I have a RUclips channel that I can review on but I do not know what I would say to the dealership.
be experienced, have money. if you are asking on here you arent going to get a press car. go review your friends cars and try to make a name for yourself. then try and get an 80 thousand dollar sports car loaned to you.
The corvette looks beautiful and great for its budget for a super car but i believe the gps map built into the tablet of the car could be a bit more accurate with its refresh rate incase of missing a turn in a place your not to sure of where you are at. Perhaps is just a fast car for the reason of the gps not being able to keep up 🤔
Idk if it’s the camera angle but that driver seat looks way to close to dash compared to passenger seat 😭 be careful with them knees, in a bad accident your knees will be destroyed just saying...
I can't find a comfortable place to hold the steering wheel while resting my elbows on the window sill and console without putting strain on my wrists. At least with my other cars with round steering wheels, I have 360° of options.
The choices on this build were well made! The set up on this c8 has changed my mind about the spoiler on this car. No spoiler just makes it seem more classy and beautiful.
I will say this until the death of me, CORVETTES ARE NOT MUSCLE CARS. And have NEVER BEEN NUSCLE CARS. They ARE sports cars and Supercars depending on the model Corvette in question but ONLY THE CAMARO is the muscle car of Chevrolet. Sheesh this ain’t rocket science GM has never positioned the Corvette to be a muscle car. Having a V8 and being rear wheel drive doesn’t make it a Muscle car or whatever r
yeah Z51 is a must + aggressive alignment; Pretty sad if my nearly stock suspension / slightly stock alignment in my 370z has less under-steer. BEAUTIFUL car though! Saw a white one at the store yesterday, def. grabbed my attention! BTW, the POV videos are nice, but the audio is even better as I have dual subs going, so it's nice to hear the nuances and gives the viewer a better idea of what to expect. Thank you!
Looks cools, but that's about it..gm is crap these days, everything is bland, inside and out..that's why they chopped half their cars...to focus on shiny cool looking CRAP lol
This is a budget McLaren, considering its coming from the biggest auto company in the world is disappointing. GM should have done the mid engine back in the 80s. Now is just a copycat.
I'm sorry, I tried but I really think they missed the mark with the design of this Vette. If it were not for the insigna I wouldnt even know what this car is. It looks European to me. Not agressive at all. Shame...

Clicked on this notification faster than the C8 goes from 0 to 60
Aw snap
"The front tires are noisy" - all tires will scream when they are rounding a tight curve doing 80 😆
He was only going 60-65mph in that corner: 15:50 . So clearly those tires need to go, and the more aggressive alignment is a must for this vehicle.
Pretty much a modern 1st gen NSX, but with a V8. A comfortable, less-expensive, daily driver supercar.
NSX of that era is a classic design
@@iluvcakes19 Agreed. The new NSX on the track on that best motoring video from 2017 vs. GTR vs. 911 is extremely scary.
@@07wrxtr1 there were some software issues there i think, ive seen the new nsx in the hands of much worse drivers doing much better.

17 mpg with spirited driving that’s messed up I have a 15 altima 2.5 and I’d get 16 with sprites driving 😂
Anyone else stress when u saw him grab the window when he got in 😂
Tonight I put some fun miles on my Miata over my favorite road, where 45 mph feels quick. In this Corvette, 65mph looks like 30mph. Craziness.
Long live the naturally aspirated V8!
Damn I really want to get this car. The interior is different but looks super nice. Maybe after my truck payments! haha
Just wait
I can only imagine what the future designs are going to be like. With all this good publicity, classic Corvette's are bound to skyrocket in price.

This is one of the best cars currently on sale.
Fun fact: *the corvette was never a muscle car, it was a sports car.*
58k for that ahahahah here in Argentina i paid 130k for a TTRS

Looks awful, but the interior is a major step up from the absolute Tonka-Toy grossness of previous models.
What’s the last 4 of the vin for this car? I think I just bought that car.
Would rather the Acura NSX. The cockpits essential “pilot view” is horrible. Might as well remove the passenger seat
No, this is way better
Americans designers are so lazy. Let's just throw the back end of a Camaro on the corvette and call it a day.
This car is gorgeous and not at all practical for me.
This is the sexiest American made sports car ever.
Where the door meets the dash does not line up on the drivers side but lines up on the passenger side. Where is the quality control?

I don't like any GM products, but I have to say its a nice looking car...
I could not help but notice that even at 75 MPH he only passed a semi. Where is he and what is the speed limit?
