Win this 2024 Corvette Z06 Convertible with the Z07 Performance Package plus $25,000: www.tapkat.org/auburn-cord-duesenberg-automobile-museum/m9moQE?promo=CGARNER
This honest review sums up everything I expected and respected about this amazing car. I can’t add or take away from anything he said, a complete and comprehensive analysis of a truly great supercar that’s affordable.
I ordered the same wheels you have for my riptide blue eray from forgelite at Carlisle this past year. As a matter of fact, I showed them a picture of your car, from when you had it at carlisle the previous year and told them this is exactly what I want. They pull from the skycool interior color so well with the top down. My eray will be a museum delivery in about 5 weeks.. The rims will be shipped to my house by this thursday. And your car was the inspiration for it. Thanks!, Bob
Clearance, I've been on the fence about picking up a 2023 Z06. Frankly, your content has sold me, and I appreciate your honest review. Btw, dont sweat the "Bad Boy" clapbacks. It is a Bad Boy. Maybe throw in "This Pig" or "This Hog" likes to eat for flavor..lolololol. Keep it up my guy. Appreciate you playa..
@cgarnerspeed252 you'll like this...Cacti Green. It's a very unusual color. Looks different in certain light variations. Not completely sold on it, but it looks pretty badass.
I originally had an allocation at my local Chevy dealership in MD. 3 years I waited. In April 2024 my cousin’s allocation came up in NC and he couldn’t take his so his dealership offered it to me. I paid MSRP not a penny more. I decided on the Z07 package with the Cup 2r’s . I have 1800 miles and will replace them in the spring of 2025 not because they are worn(because I don’t track it) but I cannot drive my Z06 when the temps are below 50. There is like no tread from the factory and they spin very easily when it’s chilly out. My local dealer corvette mechanic says as long as I take care of the carbon fiber brakes and he knows I won’t track it, he feels the brakes should last the life of the car. I LOVE MY Z06!
If you’re overly concerned about the balance of power and MPG, acquire an entry level vette and add a blower kit. They’re becoming more widely available and offer a nice power upgrade without the MPG penalty. My blown daily driver Tundra gets me 15.7 city and 18.5 hwy. This is using a 4.88 posi and 6 spd auto. Blowers are efficient and afford a surprising amount of mileage. My blower has over 120k trouble free miles. The ZO6 does give you the cool wide body and some options, but the high revving V8 is gonna drink fuel. Too me it’s all good.
It would better if the prices on the higher end were a little lower. I'm not complaining, seeing the Used prices on the C8 are good these days. Seeing Used 3LTs for 70k price range is great. Seeing some Z06 around 111K. If we can see those used in a few years @ 100k or less would be, in your words, Phenomenal!
@cgarnerspeed252 All is good. Waiting on your next vid. Clarence, you may not remember. I mentioned to you years ago that I might be cool for you to review other cars. Corvette can still be your number 1. I think that would be cool. Especially now. Supercars are a dime a dozen. Corvette has really changed the game with a c8 zr1. Which I think will be marked up to 250 to 270k from the dealers. And the very 1st c8 zrl maybe opinioned off at barret Jackson for a million plus for charity. Now that would be cool if you were there for that.
WHAT'S UP CGARNER,VERY GOOD VIDEO 👍🏿,JUST THINKING, ZR1 WILL GET 6MPH IN THE CITY,12MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, HOWEVER,THE EXPERIENCE WILL BE SO GREATTTT,THAT IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
My dealer experience was not very good. This is Corvette Achilles front house and service can vary greatly. My first oil change they put to much oil in the engine, I smoked going home. Nest time they left the pucks hanging underneath the car. GM needs to separate or get their act together.
I’ve been following your channel and have been considering getting a corvette. Previous generations have been a bit cramped for me @ 6’4”. You say that your Z06 is comfortable enough to use as a daily driver. If you don’t mind…..how tall are you? I’m trying to get a frame of reference.
Good topics but relax on the affiliate link promos. First 10min of every video is just promoting affiliate links. Also the auto tracking is kind of annoying just pan out and do the video.
Nice pause there wall of buttons prevented his girl from .... hahaha . Guy complaining on that forum should stick to suburbans or silverados for what he wants to do hahaha
I know you want sponsors for your channel, but.......these 'win a corvette' you hype have gotten boring! Please find something else.....it seems every Corvette UA-camr has one. Please be different! And, to get it all off my chest, I'm in an drinking game where every time you say "bad boy" I'm passing out with alcohol poisoning. But,the good news is you don't sound like a used a car salesman by over using 'vehicle'.

Bob do you mind sharing the price you paid for them.
@mjmalone75 the carlisle sale was around 3500 including ceramic coat. Not sure if it's more now.
That’s awesome my friend! What’s your name? Email me
That’s a good question
Includes lug nuts and shipping too

Used market looking phenomenal recently. Gonna stay down till I come up before plunging into one.
Yeah I heard the same!!
Would I miss the TQ of my C7Z? First time here. Love the story about helping the dealership!
Thank you I am grateful you are here!
A year already brother?! Wow time flies when you’re living in peace! Keep going!
Yes sir it’s been a year already!
Nice honest video Clarence.
Thank you so much for watching I appreciate that!!!
Congratulations Clarence on your first year of ownership👍
Thank you Joe!!!
Yes sir!!!!!
Thank you
just picked up a 2023 sting ray coup - love the car.
Nice! Where did you get it? Where are you from?
@@cgarnerspeed252 Ontario Canada, good deals now the winter is starting - picked up a full loaded C8 3LT Z51 for 93K CDN (or about 67 K US)
Awesome video and review brother!!!
Thank you!!!
Corvette has out priced you average person. Quality is still an issue.
The regular C8 is still well within the range of your average person. Maybe not in this current economy but before it was 100% attainable.
I can see that
I can see that too
Z is a bargain compared to the competition
Excellent video Clarence.. loved it.
Thank you!! How’s it going?

Who gots da guts to get a ZR-1? Or perhaps take their Z06 up to 23 psi boost? Maybe cheaper to mod a Z and get ZR-1 type of performance.
Thank you
@@cgarnerspeed252 Just an idea for Z06 folks. Perhaps I expressed it the wrong way. Z06's are nice for sure.
Beautiful looking C8 but I would get the wheels powdered coated black 🙌
Thank you!

@@cgarnerspeed252 YEAH MAN IT IS NOTHING LIKE 9 SECOND 1/4 MILE
It’s always great to see this Beautiful car!!!!!!!!
Thank you!! How’s it going?
@@cgarnerspeed252 Going great how’s California?
@@billyharper7328it’s going well my friend thanks for asking
Beautiful ride!
Thank you! How are you?
Great video and content! So thankful for your being transparent. You're doing a great deal for the Corvette brand. Lining up for the Zora? 😂😂😂
Heck yeah I appreciate your comment so much!! Thank you!!!!
Clarence you have a beautiful car
thank you! how are you?
@cgarnerspeed252 love your show and the passion that comes with it! Thank you!
Did you purchase an extended warranty? Out of warranty issues could be very costly. Trans = $20k , engine = ? ….. Very nice car.
Thank you! No extended warranty at this time
Nice video.
Thank you brother!!
I heard all the "Bad Boy's" I could take after four minutes in.......and left.
oh no, come back? Lol, Where did you leave to?
My dealer experience was not very good. This is Corvette Achilles front house and service can vary greatly. My first oil change they put to much oil in the engine, I smoked going home. Nest time they left the pucks hanging underneath the car. GM needs to separate or get their act together.
Oh wow!! What did the dealership say?
I can’t wait to get mine 😩
What color are you getting?
@@cgarnerspeed252 Yellow or rapid blue.

Hey there! I’m 6’2 so it really all depends. I would definitely say there’s more head space in the convertible
Clarence, did you sell your C7 yet?
Yes I did!!
2nd 🤣
lolol thank you brother
that wing looks really stupid looking, especially on the convertible.
