That is the best review of the c8 I have seen. I was blown away when i first saw this car. Mostly due to the hype and the mid engine I guess. The more i look at it, the more i realise how stunning the c7 is. And you are right about panel gaps. The car is a head turner for sure but in profile it reminds me a bit of a Hyundai Genesis. Personally I would chose the c7 over this one. Lets hope the c8 doesnt become a modern day Fiero. Although Fieros are making a come back with younger people.
Thanks! In all honesty, I am very disappointed in this car. I didn't want to be too harsh in the video but the quality and fit and finish of C8 is cringe worthy. I think that once the hype is over, the C7 prices will go up because that car is truly a head turner.
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars 100 percent agree. At least you guys can actually get those for 60. In 🇨🇦 its 100 k. And 15 percent sales tax I would go with gently used C7.
@@houseonpleasantstreet9774 Nobody can get them here for sticker. This yellow car is advertised for 94k and that is a deal. They are all 20-30k over msrp.
People complained that the C7 rear end tail lights looked like a Camaro. They said it didn't look like a real Corvette ..Now we finally have a rear engine super car officially when the Z06 arrives, with exotic looks. A small group of people are saying the same thing they said about the C7. Undoubtedly the C8 looks better inside and out than the C7. It has a McLaren vibe. The car is not without criticism though. The rear end design doesn't coincidence with the front and side profile. It should have been more rounded, exhaust pipes should have been centered, and exhaust pipes rounded. A return to a modernized round taillights would have been hotttt. Other than that the car is epic at this price point. That's why everyone wants one. The C8 shut the internet down during the reveal and the anticipation of the Z06 is insane.. Name another car with this much hype, excitement, and anticipation over the past 2 decades... Foreign or domestic.....I will wait............
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars I am not a Vette guy, but I appreciate them. Once my 3 kids are out of the house (and I get employed again), I wouldn't mind owning a Vette. I really like the 1982 Vette or maybe a used C8. If I had a bunch of money, I would love a '67 tri power stingray. I would like to see you review a '67 if you can find one.
Great video!! I didn’t realize why I liked this car at first.. because it reminds me of a Ferrari.. but that’s the wrong reason to like it.. I don’t love it yet, it has to grow on me, but when you just compared it to the C7,, it definitely lost its muscle..
What is the lens on your camera? Distortion is terrible! I do find that many Corvette die-hards feel similarly to you and many non-Corvette enthusiasts love it, so there is a real paradigm shift occurring. Sales will speak to popularity or lack thereof.
I respectfully disagree with your review. This car has optimized performance/aesthetics for the price. If you opt to finance a similar-priced M4 or any similar European sports cars, the maintenance costs will start to add up as well.
i also understood (from europe though) that they were selling out like hot cakes. but the sales figures I see online dont agree at all with that. It looks like they are selling like the years before and far less than say 2014/2015/2016. Ok Covid in the middle too but I was expecting they would sell heaps of c8s at least in USA.
Dude what are you talking sbout????? You can't freaking find one for sticker and they are sold out with one and 2 year waiting list. I'm one of those on the list. The plant was shut down for several months so what did you expect?
@@thegeneral8133 I am taking my numbers from the gm authority website. If that info is fake then too bad. So far this year I read under USA sales Corvette 12.634. USA sales by year: 2013 (17,291), 2014 (34,839), 2015 (33,329), 2016 (29,995), 2017 (25,079), 2018 (18,791), 2019 (17,988). If these numbers are not invented by GM they may be sold out but they are also producing way less than before.
Because there is very little good in it. Besides the engine, there is nothing to brag about. Don't buy into all the hype and follow the sheep. Have your own opinion.
I am not a fan of the mid engine Corvette Leave the.mid engine to the Italians...front engine Corvette is the only way for me. She doesn't look as good as the Lamborghini, Ferrari and so on.
So I can only post videos about cars I like? I can't have an independent opinion? If everyone likes a car I also have to like it to be part of the heard?
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars 🤣😂 Thought about it, but I don’t argue 🤷🏽♂️ You continue to do what works for you, not everyone’s gonna like it.... if they do, good... if not, good too ! I happen to own one so of course my views will be different.... Not hating just a comment about that particular video ✌🏽
What in the world is wrong with your camera or video software? ! You messed with the resolution and made the c8 look smashed up . Why would you lie about is appearance? The review want so hot either.
I did not lie about anything. I do not like the appearance of the car, period. If you can't accept that, move on. Just because you like something or buying into all the hype does not mean that other people can't have an independent opinion about something.

Nothing beats my L98 C4 I used to have! Old but fun, and sexy must I add😏
C4 is so underrated and the hate for the C4 is unjustified.
That was a long way to complain about a mid-engine car looking too much like a mid-engine car instead of a front engine car.
That is amazing car for under $60K.
The problem is they are selling for 90k plus.

Who cares what anyone have to say about what you like ! Get what you want and enjoy what ever you it is.
I bet if Prime One Motorsports gave him this car, he would change his opinion.
You clearly didn't watch the video.
I absolutely love the car and the color but I respect your opinion.
Thank you for understanding!
Great video!!

I use a gopro 7, they suck. The sales have been really strong for these. You can't buy them for sticker anymore. Base model LT1's are fetching 90k+ 🤔
I agree, his lens gives it a “Fishbowl look” any car would be ugly in this light
Incredible looking car & great colour
Thanks!
A cheap Ferrari sounds like a good idea until you experience why it's cheap in the first place
Wow this guy is the 1st & probably only person to shit in the C8😮
I respectfully disagree with your review. This car has optimized performance/aesthetics for the price. If you opt to finance a similar-priced M4 or any similar European sports cars, the maintenance costs will start to add up as well.
As long as you like it, that's all that matters. I personally think it's hideous but that's why they are called opinions.
You have your GoPro set two wide angle shot, next time set it to normal mode. Jeeeeez!
It's your opinion, but you are wrong, the car is beautiful.
That is why they are called opinions.
Just stick with what you know; working on old Fords
Uh oh, we have a Chevy fan boy triggered.
Maybe a fanboy but he is kinda right.
@@4therush There is nothing wrong with being a fan of a brand or a model, but to blindly believe all the hype... I don't know.

I ordered my C8 in Sept 2019. Mine still has not arrived. The cars are on a waitlist definitely due to the extreme demand.
@@alejandroxan We have 3 new ones for sale. Over sticker obviously.
Yellow has to be the worst color on the C8.
Dude was Dudley Downer. He could find little good about the C8.

The back of the car looks like a Camaro. In other words CHEAP.
Stop hating
Go fuck yourself.
I am not a fan of the mid engine Corvette
Leave the.mid engine to the Italians...front engine Corvette is the only way for me.
She doesn't look as good as the Lamborghini, Ferrari and so on.
I don't mind the mid engine but the car looks like shit and I am not afraid to say it.
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars Come on man. It doesn’t look THAT bad.
@@c5vette739 That's what all the hype makes you think. But tastes are different, it doesn't do anything for me.
Yeah not the most pretty corvette, looks more like a camaro if you ask me and I hate camaros lmao
It just looks meh... The only way to describe it.
