    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

    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.

    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.
