I was thinking the same thing. But I will say that many folks have said my car looks way different than others they’ve seen. Personally, I think it is my set up (Rockers, Splitter, Wing and Wheels) and most definitely the color. The CMG allows you to see all the lines of the car. The darker colors don’t show the same. 👍🏾
@Ask Griff Yep. The splitter, rockers, wheels and wings makes it stand out even more. Especially with contrasting colors. Looks so much better with it. Mines almost the same set up but red and black. Wrapped the top black too and, to me, it looks even better. Took the car out yesterday and today and both days, random complements on the road and parking lot. 😅
I’m 66. Old School hotrodder. I’ve had hemis, 6 paks, Mach 1, GT 500, etc. My C8 came in two weeks ago. Never gave a shit for Corvettes before. Orange, body color accents, dual silver stripes, silver engine cover, natural/black with natural belts, 3LT, Z51. Buddy! I gotta get out every few miles to let my ass laugh! What a skate! Amazing. Yes! People freak out over this thing! Love this car bro!
Man I’m so glad to hear that it came in. And I’m happier to hear that you love the car. It’s an amazing piece of work. The only disappointment is that this euphoric feeling may not last forever 🤦🏽♂️. I’m just enjoying the ride every time I get in it 👍🏾.
@@AskGriff1 I just got in from a ride. My lovely bride and I drove out to a remote restaurant in it yesterday. Added about 100 miles. Sitting at 430 now! This thing is amazing at low RPM. I can’t wait to hit my 500 and set this bitch free! Set up Z mode today. The performance, fit and finish of this car is as good as it gets. I am still finding small things that impress me. I hope that feeling lasts forever! God Bless Griff!
Good video, we have a 2023 Arctic White HTC loaded with carbon flash and black accent pieces including the carbon flash low spoiler with CORVETTE in black right under it. We were behind our Vette in a parking lot with some people admiring it when one asked me what kind of car it was. I nicely told him it was a Chevy Corvette. We love this car, it is the best car I have ever driven in my 60 years of driving experience.
I know what mean, I’ve had my Torch Red C8 now for 2 1/2 years every time I get in the car it puts a big smile on my face. And like you I park as far away from other cars as Possible. The other day someone asked me what model Ferrari was it. I can’t imagine what the Z06 will be like if my number ever comes up.
What a beautiful garage and car cover ❤You definitely know how to take care of your things. Current C5 owner and my second one. As soon as I saw that yellow one of you sitting on it, you gained a subscriber 😊😂
Hi Griff your video was Spot On about the C8 Corvette !!! I have mostly owned Mustang GT's from 2012,2015 and 2018 and I sold my 2018 mustang GT on february 10th of this year and made a profit of 7 thousand 618 dollars due to it having some tastefull mods to it, I used the money from the sale of the 2018 mustang GT to buy a 2022 Corvette Stingray and I recieved my Vette from a small dealership in Harlingen texas on March 1st of this year and I have to say I am Totally Blown Away by the quality and Fun factor of this Vette, it only had 972 miles on it and today my odometer is reading 1088 miles because I Cannot stop driving this Amazing vehicle !!! I am geting my C8 factory grey wheels powder coated high gloss black metallic and geting a Corsa Extreme catback muffler delete w/ AFM valves on March 27th and I Cant wait to see how this already Amazing car turns out !!!!!!!!!! What catback do you have on your C8? It Sounds Really Great! Mark~ :)
Hi Mark. Thanks for the kind words man and congratulations and welcome to the Corvette club. I’m a fan of the mustangs, I just don’t fit very well in them. For the value, this car is an AMAZING BUY!!! I’m running the factory performance exhaust, which I’m pretty comfortable with. Enjoy that car man!!! 👍🏾
I just purchased a 2023 Corvette C8 Z51 2LT HTC in amplify orange with carbon metallic which to me is the new black. Amplify orange is a more rare color for sure more optimistic and more vivid. Believe the hype the C8 mid engine stingray is the real deal. Revolutionary memorable unforgettable incredible remarkable The word I’m looking for is “Beast”an exotic supercar. It’s smooth as a cold glass of wine🍷 Fast Furious Fun, stunning design, quick acceleration, fun-to-drive, 495 horsepower, zero-to-60 in 2.8 seconds. For 25 years I have owned a black and white car, suv or motorcycle, so I decided to change colors to make my car look like an exotic supercar. Like they say life is not always Black and White and DREAMS DO COME TRUE 😃 Yours truly “ICE” Incredible Car Enthusiast
Winter has been over for me a month ago guys 😂. I tried to pack it away, but it only lasted 2 months 🤷🏽♂️. The car is just too fun in the honeymoon phase. Maybe next year…
Good video! I really like how you have yours specked out. The white exterior, along with the black and red interior, looks really nice! I don't get out too much these days, but I am looking forward to finally seeing one of these beauties in person.👍
Im starting to get the itch...Im in the midwest (Chicago) and we are still in the throws of winter. Im looking forward to getting my toys out the garage.
My brother was there this week. He was down at McCormick Place Convention Center for a trade show. Said it was nice today, but cold with some light snow throughout the week. I’d say in another few weeks you’ll be dusting off those toys. LET’S GO!!!! 👍🏾
I don’t even drive my wife’s Mercedes 2022 C43 coupe in Matte grey in the rain 🌧️ 😅 we drive my old Jetta instead! My thinking is, matte paint is hard to maintain and I don’t want heavy dirty flying all over it haha now don’t get me wrong, if it’s a nice sunny day we are up early to wash it and drive it everywhere 😎
Griff, once again you’re spot on. I get all of this when I take mine out too. Only thing you forgot was the imports with the fart cannon wanting to race at every traffic light 😂.
Still on allocation, it will be 2 years on March 30, 2023. I'm #56 after coming down from #291. I'm so close, the dealer told me they'll put my order thru when I hit #50. I don't have to pay above MSRP for all those who went on allocation before July 2021. I'm order specific, gotta have Z51, Mag Ride, the only thing thats sorta bouncing in my head is the color, Black, Elk Hart Lake Blue or Caffeine. I like all three
LET’S GO V!!!! Just my opinion… Black is very common (But Stealthy if that’s the look you’re going for), Elkhart Lake Blue is an amazing color (Also becoming a very common C8 color for the masses), Caffeine (The color least adored by Corvette enthusiasts), but in person is an Amazing Color in my opinion. Pictures online don’t do it any justice. It’s unique for sure and more of an acquired taste. Your choice champ… You wanna be “Stealthy”, “Life of the party” or more “Reserved”. You can’t go wrong on this one, but it is a big decision. 👍🏾
Sorry for the late response. Not lowered one but. My wheel set up and offset must make it look lowered because a lot of folks ask me if I’ve lowered the car. 👍🏾
I will be honest. At first I wasn’t sold on the C8. I have always wanted a corvette since I was a child and I am now 54. But now it can’t stop dreaming about one. It’s coming soon. But my point is this. When I see a C7..it doesn’t excite like it once did. I’m just saying. Otherwise. I hate you. Haha j/k. Beautiful machine you have.
Hahahahaha…. It’s coming Champ!!! I just saw a C7 yesterday with temp plates and said to myself… Man I still miss my C7. But this C8 is so much more in my opinion. The C7 is still an amazing looking car. It’s like the younger cousin to the Ferrari F12 on the exterior. 👍🏾
Hey man, I’m not mad you brother. I understand all the angles. The Driver, the Keeper, the Collector and the Investor… 👍🏾 How many miles she pushing now?
@@AskGriff1 1441. I had a 2002 mustang Gt convertible with 30,000 miles. I gave it up last summer. I intend to get more out of the C8. I don’t have another 20 yrs to waste. That’s another reason I went with the coupe
not to be pretentious but i think that i have the nicest from factory looking c8.... flat out. havent seen one on the internet that looks better or one in person. when i take it to the dealership the girls call it "The Pretty One" they told me they look forward to seeing mine when its in because " its the best looking one" lol which is why i have now named her "The Pretty One". ive gotten "it looks pretty" from so many people. haha I dont want to give away my scheme so to say because i literally havent seen any other c8 like it. but its a convertible z51 ceramic grey with blue interior. other than that theres a bunch of goodies and color combos but i wont share juse because i think someone else may go and make a copy lol
Hahahahaha. I can’t say I blame you. If it wasn’t for this RUclips channel, I’d be low key as well. I will say this… My car too has been called “Pretty” by the ladies. I’m gonna give credit to the CMG color. It shows ALL of the car’s lines and curves. 👍🏾

Welcome to the channel. And congrats on the order. The car is a lot of fun.

You are referring to the car, right? 😂
Just got mine last week. Crazy attention and people wanting that smoke.
Congratulations!!! After you properly break that thing in, you can give ‘em what they’re looking for. 👍🏾
I really appreciate you man just got my black and red c8 and I experienced the performance mode. I watch your videos 2 or three times . Thank you bro
Hahahaha. Likewise Brotha. I appreciate the support. 👍🏾 Be easy with that thing. She’s a Monster!!!
