    We recently drove thousands of kms thru the Rocky Mountains and encountered multiple weather systems daily at different elevations. Rain and sleet to sun and heat. My C8 convertible option paid for itself. We hit a button and grabbed the weather/exposure we wanted. And when we wanted speed and comfort - the car is also a hardtop. No stopping or adjusting/losing luggage to make room for the roof panel of coupe. The HTC is incredible option and IMO - the C8s best option. And we always hear the comments from admirers that the HTC looks much more exotic/expensive than the coupe. And now that fall is here, in 20 seconds and on the road - I can immediately grab the warmth and best part of the day vs the dilemma of whether its worth stopping to take coupe roof panel off for only an hour or two? The C8 HTC is your own personal transformer. Still drops jaws wherever it goes.

I am in my mid 50s and agonized between the two, but the convenience of the convertible won me over for the Stingray. My C7Z is a coupe, and my C8Z will also be a coupe.

One thought I had is the accent color option is reasonably priced and would be easier for me to vinyl carbon flash in those areas than to have paint matched. Also to be different because I think there's more without this option. I like the side vent painted anyways.

      Not doing so good. Experiencing C8 Fatigue. Put a down payment with my small local dealership because they said they could get me a C8 Allocation and every month I get a different excuse. I finally decided to put a down payment with a big dealership and they said the earliest would be a 2023 C8 Stingray. Watching you guys while entertaining exacerbates my problem knowing I won’t experience it for a while. I will continue to watch to gain knowledge. I guess the great part is that when I finally get my C8 I will be a resident expert. So continue with the good content. I will be watching.

    The convertible for me was a no brainer. I’ve dealt with the removable roofs and I dont like losing the trunk space and having to adapt if weather changes quickly.
    I’m not doing much aftermarket stuff so for me it paid to put the money up front into the convertible.
    Btw Clarence if you bring all three windows up it drastically reduces wind noise and you still get enjoyable open air experience.
    Great job Clarence and Mike!!

  • @chozn4service
    @chozn4service 2 роки тому +5

    Good review Clarence, as always! I personally haven't driven a HTC and I had the option to get one when I ordered my Coupe but elected to have the Coupe over the HTC simply because I wanted to see the motor and I figured there might be some limitations on what could be done between the two styles. I've already heard that aftermarket exhaust are not an option right now, due to the dynamics of the HTC. You can add cats but not the exhaust as of yet. I also had thoughts of mechanicals going bad and being stuck which I've heard of a few issues. Kinda like buying a TV with a built-in DVD. If the TV goes bad, no watching DVD's and if the DVD goes out, you have no alternative viewing options.
    Still, the HTC is a great looking car and still mimics the coupe aside from seeing the motor. I think I told you last year having the Coupe allows you to see the jewelry inside the jewel case, where as the HTC there's nothing to talk about, and technically they're both convertibles, just one is manual and the other is automatic.
    My buddy just bought a Torch Red HTC from Corvette World-Houston and drove it to Alabama, and then back here to Indy. He's done a few things within the first week of ownership like tint, ceramic coating, powder coating the painted split spokes to black and taking a CFB front splitter off my hands. The car really looks great and I hope to get a chance to make some first hand comparisons as you did, some time in the near future before cold weather sets in.

    • @cgarnerspeed252
      @cgarnerspeed252  2 роки тому

      Hey you are completely right I do have concerns if the hard top convertible messes up or break. And you are right about being able to see the motor. I do believe I’ll wait to see the engine bay of the Z06 before making any choice on the car.

    • @chozn4service
      @chozn4service 2 роки тому

      @@cgarnerspeed252 esthetically I don't think there will be that much more difference in looking through the back glass at motors. People look through the glass and have no real clue what they're looking at. With the glass glare, dark shadows etc.... it's a motor in a Corvette. When you kick the ballistics, it just comes down to whether or not you want to have an auto top or manual. I've only had my top off a few times and just got the glass top so I can have that sky view at all times.
      Realistically, I'm keeping what I have. I can't see the extra ponies for city streets. I don't track and I don't need State Farm running me as a higher risk associated with pleasure or a hobby. Now that I've done all the things to my whip, it's the dream car for me and once I get the new intake on, I'm done.
      I'll count my blessings, enjoy the ride and find myself some new roads.

    CG we share similar thoughts. Going from C7Z Vert to C8 Coupe, I do miss the convenience of 1 button retractable top tho.

    First off, love both of ur channels. I’m going for the HTC. I had a ‘97 TA convertible for 20 years and never had a problem with the top. Not too worried about the mechanics. I had been thinking about the Ferrari California which are all HTCs. But for ~$30k less I’d rather have a new car vs a 12 year old car. Thanks for the thoughts on the mag ride. I wasn’t sure if I should get it with Z51 but I’d like to do some road trips w my wife so tour mode w the mag ride would make it more comfortable for her.

But now with this convertible car I’m pretty happy. People are complaining about fit and finish. My car is flawless. Z51 and K&N air filter gives you over 500HP. The car is leaps and bounds better than my C7 Z06 manual 3LZ car which is 660 HP. That car is death on wheels. The new one a 15 year old pregnant, blind, Asian woman could drive on a race track.

I love the one I have to much to let go. Buying it out right was an accomplishment I am very proud of! A C8 Stingray in Elkhart Lake Blue with an Adrenaline Red interior is more rare then any Z51 built and on 93 octane it is faster! I know because I took Spring Mountain driver trainer in a Z51 on California 91 octane. Best option you can ever give yourself! Ron Fellows Driving School!

    He’s dead wrong about wind noise vs coupe. Yes there’s more wind, obviously since it’s totally open. But it’s much less annoying wind noise than the coupe bc the coupe starts buffeting and building pressure at higher speeds 75+ and is unbearable at about 90.
    If you want top down convertible is the best. But if you know you’ll only use the top down rarely, get the coupe. It’s 75% of the convertible experience. Especially on road trips where you can’t put your roof in the trunk bc you have bags or something in there already

    Great Video!!!! We need more true and bias review videos like this. Hopefully you’ll be able to dissect the C8 ZO6 when you get your hands on it. Hopefully you’ll be able to give us Dimensions like width and height And whether or not we are going to be able to get the ZO6 without negative camber. You know how all of us that have the C7 grand sport and Z06 have issues with the negative camber on the streets. Hopefully you’ll be able to do a video in comparison with the C7 ZO6 and C8 ZO6….hopefully it’ll answer some questions for us.

      Have the camber taken out. I did and for DD the car made a huge difference in the tire wear. I never track my car. The car will still out drive most drivers without the camber. Plus save you a couple thousand a year on replacing tires so often.

    Does HTC stand for Hard Top Convertible?
    How many electric motors does a C8 convertible have? To raise it and lower it.
    I have heard 6 electric motors....but want to be sure.
    I wonder if the many complexities of this convertible will lower the reliability issues of this convertible model.
    Imagine if just one of these 6 electric motors stops functioning then you are stuck and have a huge and expensive problem.
    I would instead pick the Coupe, save money as the Coupe costs $7,500 less than the more expensive convertible, avoid all the ugly and irritating wind noise and definitely have a more reliable and trouble free car compared to the much more risky and expensive convertible model.
    This is just my personal take.

    will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep
