Lone Wandererジャンカルロ・キートン Just because you say it kicks Ferrari’s ass doesn’t mean it actually does... these are called biased opinions. You need to provide data to prove that a corvette, “kicks Ferrari’s ass”. So your corvette c8, ford GT, and srt viper kick the ass of a Ferrari SF90? I’ll wait...
care less about the passenger.....it's ALL ABOUT THE DRIVER. I'm waiting for next years Z06. About time Chevy had the b@lls to take a step into the future.
Of course it looks like a Corvette. Base model does 0 to 60mph in 2.8 seconds..beat that mclaren, porsche, bmw, audi for $60,000. The interior knocks the socks off porsches dull and conservative, even boring interior. A silly row of buttons..really? If in a lambo it would be called futuristic and fantastic. The door handle/air intake is sublime..what other car has that??? Fantastic car and a base model..shows you how porsche, mclaren, audi etc are ripping people off.
Well put. I wish Americans were instinctively more positive on American products. When we hit a home run, why can’t we acknowledge it? I’m a huge bmw fan. But their recent line up is boring and overpriced. What do you get for 60000 there? Barely an m2 with competition package. It’s a boxey little thing with inferior horsepower, a turbo and that’s always inferior to n-a, synthetic steering, can’t handle like this, front engined, etc.
This guy in this video is very critical in the beginning but quickly changed his thoughts when he put the Corvette through its paces. A car that can complete with cars 4 times the price is phenomenal!! And this Corvette is it!!
GM took a gamble and let the designers and Engineers do their thing and the results are staggering. Even McLaren , Ferrari and Porsche is sweating bullets. Shots Fired!!!
Gorgeous car. This is going to annihilate sales of every performance car under 100K. *Edit:* this is going to also hurt sales of sports cars in the mid-$100K range, like NSX, and Porsche 911s.
You mentioned that the C8 has too many lines. Before I physically saw the C8, I was troubled by all the ridges along the front hood as I much prefer the smoothness of the 458 488 or F8. But that all changed last weekend at the auto show. What I initially perceived as annoying, cumbersome and ugly I immediately saw how those lines were sculpted into the overall aerodynamics of the car. Absolutely splendid.
He really should just present facts and not impose his basic opinion. Speaking about the console being "silly" and the styling "busy" on and on. Looking at him he isn't the pillar of taste. Stick to driving impressions etc. Don't try to tell me about the styling of the car because you're so off base.
@@kubemaster His opinion seems not to align with what I experienced and what almost every other publication states. Review the car don't impose little negative comments that are subjective and don't align with most others. Now I could care less what someone feels about which car is better. People hated the C7 at first also so ...we had to let those stuck in there ways change over time now here they go again.
I love that color, it needs the spoiler and other z51 high lights, the base looks a bit goofy but most cars are like that, the brake by wire system is a turn off
Other than the rear is a lil' bit of rectangular and needs a bit round up or curves, I see this beast is a winner and the only American car I would buy at the moment.
Don’t worry, the way production has bottlenecked and resolved, you’ll soon see one of these at every stoplight. The dealers won’t be able to charge above msrp for long.
What is a super car? Pretty sure it's stats on the road put it in the same category, so why do you say it isn't? Is it because it doesn't cost since ridiculous price like say the overpriced Ford GT? Please digress on what makes a super car. It looks super based on multiple things, performance numbers, price and options and unlike those other cars with super next to their name you can drive it everyday and not have to worry about reliability and extortion when it comes to maintenance. I think this is the most super a car can get, affordable, reliable and performance.
S a supercar isn’t just about performance. It also has to be rare. Think about it, this corvette is going to sell about 20,000 of these a year. So by the time the C9 is out, you will see C8’s everywhere you go. Then it won’t be considered a special occasion when you see one. Think about it in another way, if there is a superhuman, that kind of person is extremely rare to find. Thor is the only one with his powers, but if everyone has Thor’s powers, he isn’t considered special anymore. If you see C8 corvettes everywhere, it gets old and too common to get excited about. When you see a Lamborghini Aventador, it’s extremely rare, so it would make people freak out that they got a chance to see it. Supercars aren’t all about performance, it’s also about the special occasion of seeing one or knowing that you saw one of the rarest cars in the world. The Performance is mandatory to be a supercar, but it’s also about how people would envy to see one. I see corvettes all the time and even still, I freaked out when I saw a C7 ZR1 on the highway. Not only because it’s a really fast car, but also because it was extremely rare. Now I want a corvette ZR1 because of how hard I freaked out when I saw one. All corvettes are faster than you expect from the price. The C5 base model was faster than the first gen Acura NSX for half the price when both where new. If the C8 is considered a supercar, than all corvettes after the C4 was discontinued would be supercars. But they aren’t. That’s because corvettes are common compared to a lot of cars on their performance level. Only the Z06 and ZR1 models in my eyes are supercars because not only are they insanely fast, but they are also extremely rare, hence why I freaked out when I saw a C7 ZR1 but I didn’t flinch when I saw a base model C7. Supercars aren’t just performance, it’s also about rarity.
I am with you on the exterior design, but the interior is amazing..if you are in a fast car you do not need to look at a screen and touch it..your fingers will get used to the buttons and you can do whatever you want without distractions
Finally saw it in person. Really nice car. Exhaust is beyond weak though. Haven’t heard a stock vette sound so weak since the C5 lol... thank god for aftermarket
Anyone else get the feeling that there has not been a true review of this car yet? Its been the same track and the same desert shots over and over again. Appreciate the effort, but I'll wait a few more weeks before clicking on anymore C8 videos.
I'm basically am a firm believer of electric vehicle. However this is probably the only vehicle that will make me go back gas. It's definitely one of your best bang for your buck sports car.
Everybody keeps bitching about the buttons. Would you rather have to go into 19 sub menus to change the temp and radio station?? Come on people. This thing is fucking awesome as a performer and what it is supposed to be.
@@ImaYam There's a video on UA-cam of this Corvette pulling a U turn in front of a bunch of motorcycles on a double yellow in the middle of the road the GoPro on the bikes are what caught it and everybodys been looking for the driver
9:17. This is the first of these LA reviews to even mention the understeer that MotorTrend said was huge I wonder if Chevy worked on it, or it wasn't that big of a deal unless you are on the knife edge?
Finally! I've been waiting for your review. You have some of the best content and never disappoint. Your reviews are informative and fun and offer great camera work. I'm even more excited about my purchase now. I'm torn between Blade Silver and Rapid Blue. My dealership has been sitting with my $30k deposit since Sept because I couldn't decide on a colour lol but I'm getting closer. I finally saw a C8 live at the auto show and I was blown away by the design and the proportions - total euro exotic looking but with a Corvette signature. Can't wait for more of your reviews.
I give the C8 interior an 8.5..... I give the exterior a 7 ( Will go up with Z06 I figure) I think the C7 Z06 exterior was an 8.5 and the interior a 6.9
I think the new C8 is great and long overdue. I'll be trading my 2011 Grand Sport on one in the near future. Great bang for the buck. I've used my vette as a track car and they required few changes, just better fluids and brake pads. Vettes can be run hard on the track and still get 10 mpg where as my supercharged Mustang only got 6 mpg. Been to Spring Mountain for Level 1 and II. Might have to go back to drive the C8 and see how I like the interior. Looks like a better build.
Plastic in the cockpit of the car? All the videos from the engineers said there is no plastic in the cockpit of the car. Your the first to say plastic. But great video.
If the brake fade can't be felt, gone will be the info the driver needs to feel until it goes from solid braking to No braking. The driver needs input in order to adjust his driving.
Great review! Thank you. I don't know how you guys got the shots you did, but for some reason this car looks better to me in your video. The look is busy but I do love the interior. Also, I appreciate the review being done by someone that can actually drive! Someone who isn't screaming like a school boy every time he pushes a gas pedal. Again, thanks.
@@_Chev_Chelios Doesn't matter if he giggles. He doesn't give you that stupid 20yr old "oh my goodness, it's so fast"! Also, it doesn't matter if he's sawing at the wheel, he can drive, and I don't believe you could out hustle him?
This guy needs to be replaced by a car guy/gal. Please just let Emme do the reviews. He’s so pretentious, he doesn’t like anything, and he is just incredibly negative. I have yet to see a video where he doesn’t completely bum me out.
It remains true that the best combo ... is to see beautiful women (in mini skirts and high heels and sunglasses) driving around in these sorts of gorgeous sports cars!
I prefer the look of the C7. This looks like a budget Ferrari. Still, seems to drive and handle like a dream. And (at least base model) is a great deal
The new mid engine layout looks bad ass. Just being able to look at your engine as you’re getting into your car is epic. But GM is just trying way too hard with the exterior styling and the interior design. Please GM for the next generation simplify the lines. Just look at your wonderful exterior design heritage in the C2, C3, C5, and C6. Also make a manual trans available for the purists.
center console is structural. Its part of the body and is integral to strength and light weight. Tail lights? They look very camaro-ish, I see no major problem with that.
I have a confession. I saw the new C8 Corvette from a different light today. I usually have to grow into liking a car, but this time I grew out of liking a car. Sometimes down the line, maybe 3-5 years later I ask myself how I could have liked a car. Today, I did that with the Corvette. The Ferrari has a nice shape, the lambo has a nice shape. This car looks like someone designed the front and someone designed the boxy back. The boxy back takes a lot away for the asthetic. Even though the sales will be great, because there are so many people excited about the redesign and all the power, lots of people will have the same negative feeling about the car. It looks like a 2000 concept Corvette, this already aged. I think it's the boxy back of the car that makes it look that way. Don't get me wrong, it's gonna sell like crazy.
I watched this again. The last Corvette was a good car, but some interior issues really bugged me. I knew General Motors could do better. This is why I didn't buy a C7!
FWIW....after reading all the comments on the "busy lines", the "silly row of buttons", etc. Then actually SEEING the car and sitting in it...None of that is a big deal.
I love that "ridiculous row of buttons" so much.
cargogh exactly,, how tf else u goin do sum if you driving
That's hilarious! I do too. They are a bit ridiculous, aren't they.
The interior is fantastic and makes a new 911 look dull and boring. The row of buttons if in a lambo would be called superb.
@@keithjackson4985 No..you dont want a menu to go into..these are basic buttons. He would call they fantastic if they were on a lambo.
@@studio-flash He made a joke. Relax.
Hes the type of guy that drives a Prius and wants to race Corvette owners light to light ...
People are so afraid to compare it to a Ferrari because it's "just a corvette" but it kicks Ferrari's ass lol
But it doesn’t ..
but it does, same with Ford with the GT's, and Dodge did with the viper.

Rob L. lmaoo $100000
I believe there is a list of dealers on the corvette forums that sell it at MSRP
You can..
If you're happy with the base 1LT model, $65k will be enough

There is a press fleet of multiple cars and the drivers switch out. You can't be certain it was him unless you saw his face.
What is everyone referring to..when was this

Its goona be easier to compete with Ferrari's

Perhaps Chevrolet should have asked you to design the new C8.
