Like you, I got mine in 2020 at 28, when I heard 60k at the release I had my order in right after. I'm currently at about 55,000 miles and I drive it rain, snow or sunshine. It doesn't matter if its on and offroad, it has never left me stranded and has gotten to places that people would never believe. (thank god for the full undertray) The only issue I have had was the front hood latch recall, but where others were popping open, mine refused to open unless I pulled the manual handle. You hit the nail on the head with regards to servicing. The corvette tax is real, but you can skirt around it. I got to know the corvette tech who was the only one allowed to service my car at the dealership. He has opened his own shop on the side, so I get my service through him without an excessive markup. The C8 has honestly been a saving grace for me mentally, I was in some dark places and the car got me out of the house and out into the backroads to explore and start to enjoy life again. I've driven the car from the highest point in VT to all the way down to Road Atlanta to see the Motul Petit Le Mans. I absolutely blasted through the blue ridge parkway and tail of the dragon along the way. I'll remember that trip for as long as I live. My goal is to drive the car across the country and someday reach 1 million miles with it. For day to day practicality I honestly never had a problem with storage. It fits a full size costco cart of groceries or 6 bundles of firewood. If you are a duffle bag guy its perfect. Wouldn't want to trade mine for anything currently on the market. Are there better cars? Sure. But this one is mine and I am absolutely smitten. May your roads be smooth, the traffic light and the shiny side of the car the right side up.
@j.a.g.8689 Its really capable, it depends on what you are looking to do. I got it with the Z51 package so the mag ride works wonders at absorbing bumps and with a push of a button you'll feel every single crack. It really doesn't put a foot wrong. You can floor it from a dig and not have to touch the steering wheel and it'll pull straight and true. It handles elevation changes like a beast and with stock ride height you can get some serious articulation out of it. Tight corkscrew turns are a breeze. In terms of breaking I think it needs a pad change from the stock. I have some hawk performace hps on there that have no issues bringing the car to a stop.
Damn it’s been 4 years? That’s gotta be the longest you’ve owned a vehicle, usually you either wreck or get bored of whatever car/truck you have within 2 years
First time viewer to your channel. In the market for a C8 and found this to be a super honest, fairly comprehensive take on the car as a whole. I've owned a C5 and a C6 ZO6, a Viper, a Cobra (FFR), a Camaro SS1LE (supercharged) and several other performance cars, and it's taken me to this point to kinda fall in love with the C8. Not as a performance car, as such, but as what appears to be one of the best "all around street performance" cars out there. Thanks.
Brother, I've been following you for years. You talked me out of a GTR with a ZL1 1LE. You convinced me to get my C8. Ive got a '22 2LT Z51. No MSRP markup and bought brand new, shoutout for the allocation to WEST ALCOA CHEVROLET, TN!!! I 100% agree with you on EVERYTHING you've said about the C8. And much like you, I still want the Z06. I WILL try and lock in an allocation next year. #staytuned Great video. Keep making great content brother!
Dan your car is straight outta GTA V😂😂 Edit: from a measurement standpoint, the c8 in ALL its forms is a super car. In my mind, it’s far more comparable to a V8 Vantage, Huracan, or 488, than a Demon or a GT 500
It's nice occasionally tuning into your videos, I remember when you got the C7 and did sharpie decals on your bike I’m 21 now, it's crazy to think that was nearly 10 years ago appreciate the entertainment through all these years
Your videos seem to have improved quite a bit lately, from a production quality standpoint. It definitely feels like you are taking the time to really plan and organize your videos. They may not be "entertaining" per say, but it's very enjoyable to watch and listen to you chat with us. You've really come a long way from just GoPro motovlog clips from back in the day. Keep it up!
Had a 2017 raptor at 19 with two jobs, sold it for a 22, then 24. Lucky to had have equity move over and get good interest rates. Pushing it to its limits is the best part. Plus I love looking at it
I live close to miami and tbh we see C8s everywhere. Howver theres a few "modded" ones that stand out and me and my dad always think its cool for people to add their unique taste to them and spice things up
I enjoy mine. It rides good. Quick. But I don’t think it’s fast. Track is ok, but I wish the front bit better. I get more positive response than I did from my recent Miata. It’s much bigger and heavier. I could drive this for 10 hours straight it’s so comfortable. I’ve driven mine in all weather, on paved and gravel. Yesterday I drove up a dam spillway yesterday and laughed at how ridiculous that was. I’ve gotten over 30 mpg. I’ve driven lots of cars on many tracks around the world and I feel like the BMW M cars would eat this on COTA Thermal or similar. but it was my budget fun car purchase after my kid graduated college. I had thought about waiting for an Emira, but the prices rise. I could not get a Z cheaply from my Nissan engineer son. But I’ve driven those on track and like them. I feel like I’ve had my moment with this car and likely will go back to dailying my 2006 Highlander. Overall, this car is OK. It’s great bang for the buck. I’ve had the privilege of driving on tracks around the world in Ferrari, Lamborghinis, and like. Even though I’ve driven $550,000 cars I think the sweet spot for me is the Lamborghini Huracan spider RWD. Not too dissimilar similar from the Corvette. I wish Chevy would eat into the trunk space and do a V 10. There’s just something about that V 10 that I love so much. But I’m not spending 2 to 4 times this money. I’m not a rich man. I’ll just keep driving other peoples Lamborghinis and Ferrari’s fast when I get the opportunity and not park one in my garage.
Really love entire theme you have going on with this thing. It looks fantastic from every angle! I agree, of all the semi decent cars I've owned like an old McLaren, Supercharged Viper, C8....Its hard to beat the comfort, reliability, usability, and exotic looks of the C8. I too want a Z06 next once they come down to reality pricing lol.
Got the one I ordered a few months ago. Love the car, just trying to figure out at what point I want to start modifying mine. Have to make sure I'm not one with transmission issues before hand
In my area mid coast Maine there are a few c8s bombing around and when people see em they get the wow supercar reaction because well they have an exotic look, that wrap you have would make a monk meditating open an eye n look it's pretty wild looking with its race car look. But in my area as far as grabbing attention newer cars don't really kill it, I have a 95 sn95 mustang gt vert with a white top with an OG 5.0 and the Lazer reds clear is jacked on upper edge the driver's side (for few years was left un moved in 1 place so sun smoked that area) with chrome 18" " 95 cobra R" style wheels and 265/35 tires and an obnoxiously loud but not slappy just beautiful sounding exhaust, original with empty cats and no mufflers and people rubber neck and check it out all the time, I get people at gas pumps ask about it it is really an attention grabber, I Also get the same thing with my 92 c1500, it's kinda ratty 295s all around on old tierd chrome 15x10 steel wheels, it has nice enthusiastic little 350 with dual 3" exhaust and a nice big lumpy cam and it get Uber attention. At the same time there are camaros and challengers, chargers big dollar Duramax's n power strokes and you know what noooooobody cares about them nobody looks at em or gives them a first look, they are like fleas there everywhere nothing special just late model everywhereness. My vehicals get tons of positive attention and my old lady's kia soul cost more than both. I can say mustang guys are a click of there own that's for sure anytime I see a mustang gt of any era the sight of my gt makes them instantly competitive, I get exhaust blasts or they try n race me all the time! Obviously I'm not going to race an old cobra or a coyote with my mostly stock 5.0HO it's not fast at all, it's zippy and with a 5 speed it's fun to drive but with 260 gross hp no a road burner, net HP is so bad no one wants to mention it and rear wheel is just flat out embarrassing but it has V8 Tq that give the impression of some amount of power, my old hotrod 2wd SBC Cheyenne is easily faster but who cares how much fun is what's important, I can never best the Marianas trench deep wallets out there so why bother it's a loosing battle, besides when your junk is stealing attention from em that's a win.
Definitely needed this video today to boost my mood thank you Dan that is a beautiful car even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cars shape originally
I love the car and I’m in the group that I want to modify and drive the car to full potential ON STREET ROADS, I’m building mine rn do I get the Z51 if I’m not tracking but instead modifying
In terms of looks, the read end of the car has got to be the most controversial. It should have been more rounded like a c7 or maybe something like the svj rear. Other than that I really like the car.
Danny, when is hooligans playground coming back? I downloaded siege again for the first time in a long time and saw black beard and said your iconic line… iykyk. Love, peace, and chicken grease. Be you Dorito on ice. You don’t have to pay me, I’ll do it for free.

Dude, love your attitude! May your million miles bring you a million smiles! ✌️
Did you get yours for 60k? That’s crazy good, I’m in the market for a used one right now and can’t even find one for under 65!
@mueezmah great question. Even better, How was the entire car buying process.
I have a question hopefully you reply, How does the chassis feel? How does it perform?

"don't you pull out on me" needs to be a twitch sound
LOL
Funny how you have a sponsor about a quitting smoking product and your car looks like a pack of cigarettes 😂
Ironic AF 😂
Damn it’s been 4 years? That’s gotta be the longest you’ve owned a vehicle, usually you either wreck or get bored of whatever car/truck you have within 2 years
Easily the longest I've held onto a vehicle. Thats how you know I love it
13:30 “I do abuse it….fairly consistency …” 😂yeh ya do. ❤
i love that every car dan has fights for the spotlight in every shot. The c8 is sexy as hell but Odin is just massive

You are so spot on regarding wheels. Wheels and stance makes or breaks a car.
Love the videos man! Been watching you since I was in middle school and I’m 21 now.
Love that dans mic stand while he was in the c8 is a guns magazine 😂
The Glock mag microphone set up 10/10😂🫡
The c8 isn't my usual cup of tea, but that front ¾ shot fucks so hard
Had a 2017 raptor at 19 with two jobs, sold it for a 22, then 24. Lucky to had have equity move over and get good interest rates. Pushing it to its limits is the best part. Plus I love looking at it
Is your mike holder a extended pew pew insert😅😅😅

I love this car for you man, and im happy that you're happy.
I however miss THE HELL out of the c7
Thought Dan was Doug for a sec😂😂
"This is My Ass!"
Thank you for your honest review about the maintenance! Funny comments..lol!
those yellow headlights really work, nice vibe!
You should send it up to Complete Street Performance for their Heads/Cam package!
Vengeance Racing is much closer and just as good if not better. Their name is certainly more well known in the LS/LT world.
Really well put together video Dan! I think it’s quite obvious you love this car, can’t believe it’s been four years holy shit…
Got the one I ordered a few months ago. Love the car, just trying to figure out at what point I want to start modifying mine. Have to make sure I'm not one with transmission issues before hand
Thiiisss is my C8 Corvette, Do it with Demero here 😂
Good lord, yes the wing changes everything. Beautiful ride brother.
Great video. Surprised that that battery cable issue wasn't covered under warranty.
The front and sides look incredible!
Love the marlboro style livery !
those white five star type variant wheels looks amazing on that c8
Just bought the car today. Suprised that actually cheaper insurance than my last car. Also, where did you get the spoiler? It looks amazing.

Dope video,love down to earth,honest videos like this.
When you had the blue and carbon setup that was the best looking C8 I've ever seen
It would be hard for me to get anything but a GTR for over 70k. That car is just magical for what it is. Insane how it still holds up.
love the glock mag mic stic
The good thing is I’m starting to see some crazy mods come out for this car.
10:00 sounds like it needs vtech 😂
I really wish Dan did this video in jean shorts, white New Balances, and a polo.
Doug impression was hilarious
Dude went from Doug to Sam so fast 😂
your C8 looks great!
Definitely needed this video today to boost my mood thank you Dan that is a beautiful car even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cars shape originally
Hey what's up Dan! I am getting a C8 myself, where'd you get the rear mods for your car??
Oil change here in So Cal at dealers are $225-$275! $110!! Wish I paid $110!
Rims look awesome!! What size are your rims?
The Mopar tax hurts, especially doing truck stuff. I've spent far too much money on every single mod I've done.
Love to see this full review
I love the car and I’m in the group that I want to modify and drive the car to full potential ON STREET ROADS, I’m building mine rn do I get the Z51 if I’m not tracking but instead modifying
Nice Marlboro livery
Awesome vid, Dan. Thanks!
Just came from the Mr. Beast moto vlog. I get to watch 2 videos in one day. Huge win
In terms of looks, the read end of the car has got to be the most controversial. It should have been more rounded like a c7 or maybe something like the svj rear.
Other than that I really like the car.
I love this man, i do not know why.
Great video the algorithm just showed me your channel subbed
Do you track (HPDE) your high performance C8? any thoughts to share? faster laptimes than other vettes?
Paintscheme reminds me of the oldschool Marlboro on bikes
What do you mean no storage? Front and rear trunks
I had to check the title when i heard "thiss" 😂
Where can I get on of those steering wheels?
Shit man, $120 for an oil change at a dealer isn't even that bad. My 2.0L civic costs me $70 at the local oil change spot.
Right?!
@@DOITWITHDAN At my chevy dealer here in Cali we are charging over $200 for an oil change on a C8.
What about the ZR1 instead of the Z06?
What’s your opinion about the new 1000plus hp c8?
I want it 💀
My only issue with my c8 is they kept coming out with better/ faster versions that looked exactly like the one I have.
Personal conversational videos hit different
I’m in Ga as well. Which dealer is doing your oil changes?
Hi dear
Thx for this video
What’s the name of your rims and sizes ?
Thx 🙏
awesome video dan!
I like flavored air that has a hint of nicotine in it. 😅
Get a supercharger or a pro-charger for your C8. Your car looks sick.
Super sweet rolling pack of mislabeled Marlboro cigarettes 😂 I dig it!
Send this to boost district for either a supercharger or his custom 800 1000 or 1200 HP twin turbo kit
Danny, when is hooligans playground coming back? I downloaded siege again for the first time in a long time and saw black beard and said your iconic line… iykyk. Love, peace, and chicken grease. Be you Dorito on ice. You don’t have to pay me, I’ll do it for free.
I've uploaded a few videos recently
C8 is fire good video!!
Free mustache rides from Dan
“Fum”?
Took me a minute to figure out that Dan's shirt say's "3 KLICKS EAST" not "3 KUCKS EAST".
Lol that's a buddy of mines business 😅
I gotta know…. Do you tell all your neighbors you’re filming? Because if not where the hell is everyone? It’s like the beginning of the walking dead.
I'm usually filming in the middle of the day when most are at work, so it's rarely busy during the week.
Which C7 Carbon spoiler is that? I am looking for a big spoiler for my HTC.
It's the Legacy chassis mount wing. Makes 750 pounds of down force
The new ZR1 is what it should have looked like
HOLY SHIT DAN STOP SWIRLING WITH THE MITT
other than that though this was a great vid😂
That was such a dirt boi. Thanks for cleaning it up I feel better now
What is that car worth today?
This car looks fantastic 100 %
Soooo what wheels are those
Thought i chose a doug vid for a sec😂
14:02 good ol’ 16😂🤫
Oh, you’re not gonna judge us, mister “I’m holding a Happy Stick”?
My 33rd capacity microphone stand
I am still disappointed they didn't at least have an option for a manual
You can get a better deal on a new C8 on the lot rather than a used C8 currently.
what wheels are those? I want them in chrome
Dat California non-compliant mic handle 🤣
i know those nike shorts are 10 years old at a minimum
love you dan
I bought them freshman year in college, at the college store, as a freshman. So 2012 ish 💀
