      Yes, I too like his informative videos on buying cars for cheap, fixing them up, detailing their appearance (with the brilliant help of Rasta German), and selling them for a profit to fund the next flip, ...but these videos where he fawns over cars is scarcely informative at all and is mostly cringey fanboy crap over new expensive toys. Hope his content improves where he shows his salesmanship with regular buyers and sellers, not boring videos of dealer auction garbage.

  • @tennnis498
    @tennnis498 2 года назад +2

    I know you like Vettes a bit more than me, but there is no denying the quality. It really is a spectacular vehicle. The Chevy dealer has a new C8 on the floor in my city. After watching this, I like the car even more. I decided that mid-engine was better long ago, so it’s more natural for me to like this car. The track school in Vegas sounds like fun. I wish they made the car in a manual though. I like rowing the gears, no matter what. Engine braking feels natural to me in traffic, etc. With an selectable auto, I sometimes forget what I’m doing with shifting, whereas clutching keeps me fully engaged.

    • @lesterparker1594
      @lesterparker1594 2 года назад +1

    @moodiblues2 2 года назад +4

    I have had three Corvette’s a 1987 and two 1994s. I particularly love the style of the C4s which were copied from Ferrari. However, the electronic sensors that control everything from anti-lock brakes, and skid control thru cruise control are not available anymore except used. In fifteen or more years the C8 will be up the creek if GM screws it like it screws the C4s now. But the C8 will be totally crippled if they do so whereas the 4 isn’t.

  • @redherring395
    @redherring395 2 года назад +1

    The C8 is an amazing car. I like how the pictures for the passenger side heated/cooled seats face the passenger and the drivers side seat switches pictures face the driver.

    • @lesterparker1594
      @lesterparker1594 2 года назад +1

      It’s like an American super car. I think it’s awesome. It’s looking like it comes with super car reliability also, which kind of sucks. Thanks GM

  • @muskokamike127
    @muskokamike127 2 года назад +3

    3:01 seriously though, 9 months isn't that bad. In 1988 I ordered a Pontiac Grand Prix SE with the 5 speed transmission. I had to wait 6 months for that. (it was named motor trend's car of the year back when that meant something). I waited for the 5 speed because I drove one with the auto and it was a dog. The 5 speed made it come alive. Considering the times we're living in, 9 months was pretty good.....

    @johnr7794 7 месяцев назад

    Our 2023 3LT HTC non-Z51, I will never track it, has magnetic ride, performance exhaust, front lift, carbon flash painted top, nacelles, low rear spoiler (easier to get stuff in and out of the trunk), wheels, mirrors, and other trim pieces. Our all season tires are much better when it gets below 50 degrees, Northern Illinois gets there and we drive it until there is salt on the roads then it’s parked. I am 75 years old, this is our second Vette, and it is the best vehicle I have ever driven.

  • @gtmaster3031
    @gtmaster3031 2 года назад +1

    Really pumped, I have a C8 coupe on order. Hopefully I get it in the next few months. Glad the red interior came out so good. I wanted that but thought it would clash so I went with black inside. You should show the LED taillights. They look incredible with turn signals

    Nice car! I have a C6 Z06 and it’s a handful!! I love the new one. Definitely looks exotic. I can’t believe we live in an age where performance of super car level can be had for 35k (my car) and looks and performance for less than 100k with this. Great stuff!! These things just need to come down. Dealer markup is criminal at this time.

    Yea it’s a great looking car but that transmission problem sounds like a nightmare after just 5k to 15k miles lol

      It’s an American super car with super car reliability. Thanks GM. I’d still drive the hell out of one if I could afford it

    We have very different tastes. How anybody could love the standard wheels escapes me completely. They are just plain ugly (I've got the Spectra Gray ones and they look like 100x better). Convertible with black nacelles, top, and A pillar looks 10x better. Much better spec would have been Red Mist, Natural Interior, Spectra Gray, black top.nacelles/a pillar.
