Quite possibly one of the best sports cars money can buy, the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has all the right ingredients: loud noises, stunning looks, and incredible performance to match. The C7 is simply a world class sports car and that can challenge the worlds best from Europe and Japan. - Авто та транспорт
I bought mine and it was totally worth getting divorced over it!!!
Lmao good for you
you made the right choice!
Amen dude
this is my dream car. right now, I'm driving an s-10, because I'm only in highschool. BUT I WILL DO IT!
Lol. Excellent
👍🏼
Always been a mustang guy, and this was my first corvette. The c7 is absolutely a blast to drive everyday.
i just dont get why people hate on it, it looks exotic, sounds like a le mans race car, has a 100,000$ sports car interior, and its faster than a 911 S. all while being a huge value.
I feel the same way lol, idk why people can hate such a beast of a car!
Mr. Unknown its a shame :(
lots of people hate on the Porsches the challengers vipers, mustangs
Sartaj Aujla but the mustang fanboys are usually the ones doing the hating... they are almost as bad as GTR fanboys.
+justin bouche I don't personally like mustangs or gtrs , one of the reasons are they're drivers are basically fanboys
I never been a Corvette guy but this one is awesome looking.
Same. I never liked the c5/c6 much but this one is hot
The worst thing in the C5 was the air dam, instead of a grille for the radiator. Such low clearance. I dinged my air dam cross-strut and the car always ran hot afterwards.
Same here. And I ended up getting one. Never would thought I would own a corvette.
@Frost Bite first few years of the C3 were great
@Frost Bite
The C4 ZR-1 and GS were pretty good.
Your reaction gives me joy. The smiles, laughter, and outbursts. A true car guy knows this feeling. I can tell it’s genuine instead of the fake reactions you see from others. It’s making me want a C7 just from watching lmao. Chevy should pay you!
Getting this car in 5-6 years. I’m currently driving a 17 wrx 🙏🏽
Making sure you're sticking with those words my guy. 3-4 years to go.
About to get a new job that will pay me more, a month in and I will be buying a 2014 vette
Brilliant vehicle. The jump from C6 to C7 is almost unbelievable.
One of the best reviews on a C7 Corvette Stingray with manual transmission.
Menacing... That Corvette is looking very aggressive and eye catching in that pure white exterior with those crisp black rims. This was a great review, Sofyan. Keep up the amazing work!
Just needed a red interior and magnetic ride suspension and it would have been perfect ;)
Sofyan, If you want to check out my UA-cam Channel. I love cars and really want to go far with it. Thank you for commenting though!
+Redline Reviews that color combination is perfect. Is my favorite. The interior is less care intensive for track days and you are already driving a great sports car you don't need a vibrant exterior color to get people's attention.

I really enjoy your reviews, you have a great presence and are very thorough, your nitpicks and use of music has gotten easier to listen to also, thanks!
I love your reviews! You look like you're having a lot of fun. I also really like how knowledgeable you are.
Watching every C7 video I can find, April can’t get here fast enough
Probably the best car ever made in the US. There's still room for improvement in interior styling but I really admire how much american sports cars and supercars have evolved over the last decade. And that engine sound... it feels alive!! Cheers from Europe!! PS. 19:43 love the censorship there lol
half way through the vid, you have some of the best reviews out there. savagegeese and you. i like the long time ago Fit. youve built hell of a channel
This is a great video showcasing the 2016 Stingray. In May 2023 I bought a 2016 3LZ Z06, convertible with an automatic. The dealership sold the Z06 with the standard before I could get it. I don't mind. I have owned a 1988 Z51 with the Borg Warner standard and a 1991 ZR-1 with the 6 speed (ZFR?) standard. I loved them both, however, I must admit, at 56 I'm getting a little older. I am very happy with my 8 speed auto in my Z06. It doesn't shift as fast as the duel clutch in my Audi, but it shifts pretty fast for a torque converter auto. Thanks for the video! My Audi S5 has lights on the side mirrors that flash when someone is in you blind spot, and adaptive cruise control. It's a 2013 S5. I really love those two features and wish my Chevy had them.
Corvettes man. one of my favorites!
My 2015 Z51 Vert is my daily driver. Love it! Great review!
I just bought a 2016 Z51 LT3, has competition seats, 2100 miles on it for 54k before taxes. Had to be at least 75k new. I think I got a good deal.
Hell yeah you did
padistedor cool
Hey how is the interior holding up?
padistedor for a normal corvette with 460 horsepower idk if I’d pay more than 40k. I for 1-5k more you could’ve gotten a 2017 10 speed auto zl1 with 650hp and 650lb ft torque, or 6 speed manual zl1 1LE both do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and have higher top speed than corvette.
Yea you did. I️ bought a 2k14 Z51 for about 46k with about 20k miles. I️ wish I️ could have got your deal lol. But I️ found the car that looked exactly how I️ wanted.
19:43
And a grey blob appears over the speedometer when you've gone too fast
Chevy thought of everything ;)
ok
@@xmagnus9671 ofcourse .. but it doesnot make sense ..
@@52ShadesofSpades so he doesn't incriminate himself with going over the speed limit
@@eddierios7383 who gonna incriminate him?? Its the past ..

youre not very smart are you 😂
Awesome video, one of your absolute best! Can't wait until your review of the C8!
I love this car, can’t wait to get mine. Going to daily drive it
I own pretty much the same car in a '14. Set your mirrors correctly and there are no blind spots. In fact no cars have blind spots, set your mirrors, it is one of the best driving upgrades you can do for yourself. It will take some getting used to but you always know where everyone around you is. If you need a quick lane change, no shoulder checks required.
Tony Gull but im bad at optical stuff....
Jk, im not even old enough for a car
Tony Gull it's all about getting ussd to the car , i own a 2010 camaro , and everybody complain about the visibility , wich for me is perfectly fine , i'm planning on getting the new corvette now
@Tom: just saw the review and your comment. I too have a ‘14 & love it. What is your recommendation for mirror settings? I use the traditional show a very little bit of door in both right and left mirrors. Is that wrong?
Cannot agree more with this. As someone who used to drive box trucks daily for work I can attest that mirrors make everything perfect.
Tony, please tell me how you set up your mirrors so there are no blind spots.
Thank you,
Mark
Sweet car! I ordered mine just before I woke up yesterday........
Hahaha same
Great review; i stare at this car whenever i see one.
Great review. I love the corvettes and you very accurately articulate why. FUN FUN FUN! And you are right, what a bargain for what you get.
Great review! I am in the market for a Black Vette right now but the white one you are driving is SO sexy. Also, thanks for pointing out the outdated switches inside and laggy touchscreen program.
I love that hockey stick tachometer. It seems like a knod to the C4 Corvette.
I've never seen you that excited when test driving a car sofian!!
Love how he hides he's speed HAHA What a way to be aware for the details ! Nice video dude. Thumbs up
Damn this car is beautiful. Gangsta music goes well with video
I had a 2011 Grand Sport. Looks like the one in this video puts the power down much better. Mine would spin out even with traction control on when I launched hard. I could hit 70 leaving 2nd gear and the sound it made was addicting. You can get in a lot of trouble with a vette but you will have a good time doing it.
Looking forward to a Grand Sport review, great video btw!
Beautiful car! I would get this exactly in this color w/ the black accents except I would add a nice front splitter and maybe put a track wing on it, oh and don't forget spare tires! Can't forget about those! Loved the review keep up the good work :)
I enjoy all of the upgrades I have made on my C7, latest addition is Victor racings smart active wing, it made such a big difference in drag control and speed.
Recently bought a '14 'vert Z51 and totally agree with the driving experience of the manual. Considered a C8 as it was in the budget but am so glad I went with a manual--it eggs you on to drive the piss out of it. Cornering is amazing and maintenance costs on these are pennies vs the Boxster I was also considering. Insurance cost is also VERY cheap (one of the only reasonably priced things in Maine is car insurance. I'm 65, no tickets, and my annual insurance cost is less than $500). I love this car!
Love it when you said "forget about that self-driving crap". Yep, some people like us enjoy driving.
Its such a shame so many companies are doing self driving crap
Inferno Productions I mean your not forced to use it more features don’t hurt
Great review, the C7 is amazing value.
Great review, thank you.
Repeatedly calling the targa roof a "T-top"......the 80's called, they asked are you trying to bring it back?
great review
great job..!!!!! adn awesome car, definetly buy this ride
I love the 7 speed, I would love to cruise in 7th down the highway.
great review, thanks!
one of my dream cars
Awesome review. The smile on his face while rolling through those gears says it all.
Great review. It was clear you were having a great time!
This video is fun to watch cause you're having such a good time. Wish you could take cars to a track.
I have the same car in red on red. I have 43,000 miles on it, and love it.
This is in my garage. Love it. Buy one if you can. We got 50 mpg from PA to TN in 7th gear in eco mode. Really.
that white with black trim is simply breathtaking
Love this gen of corvettes
You don't need to push the remote to lock and unlock the door, it has a proximity sensor for the remote. If you turn off the car in Track or Weather mode it defaults to Touring when you start it back up. You can configure the display to whatever you want no matter what mode you're in.
Great job on the video.
the music sounds badass and goes well with the car
You give very good and relevant review for the average guy
Absolutely love this car, what a bargain.
love you guys!
Absolutely love mine, she's a beast!
Fantastic review
Saw a guy on the highway a few days ago that had a Stingray that had Z51 badging on the side similar to how the Z06 has. I was wondering if that was factory or not.
@Sofyan
I could be wrong, but I don't think I've EVER seen you swoon over a vehicle like this Vette! Like a kid at the candy store! Love it! And yes, I agree on the Z51 pkg. It is MUST! You get so much equipment at that level for the price.
What are the chances that you could test a Challenger Hellcat w/ Tremec 6060?
Still the only true mainstream American challenger to high performance Euro offerings. The Corvette looks like a riot to drive. Someday maybe for me... Someday... =D
19:42
why would you blur your speedo?
i mean obviously you were holding at 60 and just downshifting for the noise, right? right?
he was going over 65 easily
nah that was only about 25 miles per hour, clearly
I think he was going WAYYY over the speed limit on a 55 MPH road. There are many 55 MPH roads in the DC area.
DiarrhoealOrange nah clearly his MPH never went over 25
xd
Just bought this (convertible auto version)....same price as my $50K 2020 Silverado but waaaayyyyyy more fun. Seems like good value to me. Still haven't fully tested it and just stored it for the winter. Can't wait for Spring.
Nice review.
I know you did a 2016 MDX, but I'd like to see a 2017 MDX as well :]
Amazing Video 👌🏻
bro, everything needs to be red for you.
Absolutely beautiful.
Most people look at the horsepower and not what really matters... the torque. Horsepower matters on top end speed and some acceleration but torque is all about acceleration and getting off the line that's why it can beat many cars even though its only 460 HP. And I just wanted to add that on the road torque really matters because you most likely won't be going 120 or higher.
Very good review...covers alot
I love that at 19:46 he blocked off his speedometer so he does not incriminate himself or condone speeding lol
Very good review.
Damn this car seems fun as hell!!
an absolute beast, i cant wait for a review of the Z06.
+justin bouche What ??? haven't you washed one already ???
"i hate my car starter pack" *uses a cloth and dish soap to wash his car*
+justin bouche +Sartaj Aujla :) well, Toyota is a bit boring, Lexus really has done a great job in differentiating themselves hints why i said brand and not company.
LMFAO... you can't even afford a corolla for god sake.... GO AWAY...
there is no one named sartaj here... who the hell are you talking too... also i dont wanna hear about fording cars when you dont even drive.
justin bouche
LMFAO... you were responding to Sartaj.... you fucking moron...... it was too funny...... IMBÉCILE...
Nice car. Nice review!
Awesome Car. WOW!!! It's like a F-22 Raptor for vehicles.
Whoah I just watched your 2014 vette review.....twilight zone
Just got a 2016 Stingray Z51. Love it so far! Couple questions, does track mode have the best/fastest throttle response vs all other modes including sport? Second, does it "hurt" the car if you just drive in track mode all the time? I usually drive in sport a lot but kinda love the track feel and throttle response better. Just didn't know if it's bad for the car to just keep in track mode 100% of the time.
I know it's a little late but consistently driving in track mode poses no issues for the C7 except that it may introduce a rattle or 2....?
@@cstraley all good, i still drive in just sport mode unless I'm on back roads.
@@scotty2221 Same
If you read thru Corvette forums the C7 zo6 and grand sport owners have issues cracking their rims which is specific to their cars wider rims not to the Stingray wheels. Most of those issues caused by driving in Track mode on the street. I drive mine in Touring mode on street to not suffer any issues with cracked rims. You can always adjust the steering feel and open the noo exhaust all the time in the menu
Ridge line pls I'm very curious on your thoughts on driving the new one
Can you do a review on a 2017 Acura NSX?
Great video.
Love that burn out!
This car is an masterpiece~!
Yeah i really like the new Corvette. Good review
is there a option to get blind spot monitoring on this car? or is that coming next year
This car is goals
Great video
wow i would get this car in the future
Can you please make a video of the 2016 Toyota Corolla S with the Upgrade package
That house in the background.. wow
This is gorgeous!!!!!
Remember manual shifting? That made you a better driver
Nice review!! Saving up for a 2014 non-Z 51, 2LT, 7 speed manual. I’ll be cherry picking a low mileage hopefully one owner in excellent condition well-maintained model. Multiple owners/mods will not be looked at or considered. As close to original OEM as possible.
I prefer the 18 inch/19 inch tire set up that came on the base model.
Z51 is the way to go hopefully with the NPP exhaust and Competition seats!
Rear looks like it's crying?....thanks, now I can't unsee that lol
LOVE IT!
You can see the Resemblance between this and the Camaro, Especially the Tail lights and of course the Engine. But corvette is going in a good direction hope they keep it up.
I've never driven or owned a car like this, but I do know people who have. You are right about the cops. In fact, these cars are monumental magnets for all around trouble - from jealous vandals to cops who have nothing better to do.
the car is HOT!!! but where'd you get that instrumental at???
"I wouldn't want my sister to drive this car who can't drive stick."- Deep comment.
Good review
