This car has a LOT of Italian accountants and CFO's looking REAL hard at their prices.
Game changer
James Sutherland not really. Ferrari owners buy Ferrari and Lamborghini owners buy Lamborghini. But corvette just ruined Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Lexus, and Ford. Basically any brand making 60-100k performance cars.
@@savagetuner2404 good tune of my comment. True.
If GM follows Ford into racing, European Exotics will stop winning races, at that point, the Europeans will not be able to give their finicky, over priced exotics away.

James Sutherland especially service and reliability
Corvette is the Car of the year hands down.
What about the Zupra? Haha.
decade
@@vincephan344
Lol holy trinity exist bruh
Century
The C8 is ok but the rear of the car is ugly.
The convertible being a hardtop sealed the deal for me.
Me too....
Was never a huge Corvette fan but I can't get over how awesome the C8 is.
100% right there with you
That shit is hideous
@Jon Jonson z i rather have a toyota camry than American junk
@Leo Przybylowicz bro american ju k will always be beat by jdm look at all the videos on UA-cam of gtrs gapping demons hellcats shelbys bro you got 4 bangers burning 8 cylinder heavy ass American cars
bulls eye lol those are all heavily modified kid. All car guys start as JDM fans, then they reach third grade and realize that there’s no replacement for displacement.
This car showed us how toyota and BMW overpriced the supra
You mean the Z4?
White Fox YES ;)
People say that Chevy underpriced the Corvette
BMW you pay for the badge, Toyota you pay for the legend.. This new SUPRA is likely not going to become a supercar killer, on the level of the older model. The older SUPRA with moderate modifications could kill supercars which made it very attractive to modders (and with crazy mods was just stupid). I just don't see the new SUPRA with its platform being able to be modified to that extent without spending more than it worth to do it.
@@jashmodi It is underpriced. That's one of the (many) reasons for the hype.
My dream car was always an audi r8 spyder. Now it may just be a c8
Austin A same
Coming from an R8, this C8 will be my first American Car and I can’t wait!
C8 over F8 & R8 any day all day !
Same here. The affordability might just give the C8 the advantage.
For me it’s still the McLaren 720S. Though I’d be happy with just the Corvette C8 especially a black one with black wheels or a white one.
Best supercar out there..it has everything..ticks all the boxes and its an entry level car for $60,000 or even up to $80,000 fully loaded..its fantastic.
Can’t wait for this car to hit the Chevrolet dealership in numbers so I can get a C7 for under 35K
Miguel Clarke they are listed around 48k brandnew in dealerships now
@@TheHoth1 The C8 or 7? And is that the base Stingray or well equipped?
2019 c7’s are on sale right now for around 42k with no mileage !
@@TheHoth1 where please!?
Get your C7 Manual while you can boys....
Can't wait to have this car!
...In a racing game.
This car just ticks all the boxes.
I had an opportunity to see and sit in one, the weekend of the “Detroit Woodward Dream Cruise”. It’s everything that you could imagine!
insanely awesome car, thanks 😎👍💥
I agree 💯
Cars, Costs and Technology I appreciate your vids.
@@CarsCostsandTechnology But does it come with a spare tire or at least a jack? Putting a plug in the tire in the middle of nowhere will be a pita.
Black looks amazing ! Black and red interior would be sweet
V A D A R 77 : the black one reminds me of the B2 stealth bomber.
Black and tan for me please..
Black, unfortunately, negatively effects a cars efficiency: auto.howstuffworks.com/under-the-hood/auto-manufacturing/do-black-cars-get-hotter-in-the-summer
Yes sir I had a Black and red interior 80 Corvette I love the combo, looks like I have to buy a new one.
Makes it look so menacing
Number 6 - the new transmission. Daily it's nice to be able to treat it as an auto and let the electronics change gear for you. At weekends it's nice to be able to do the gear changes with the paddles. Won't miss that third pedal.
Great video. I did sit in the new C8 and noticed the extra leg room compared to our C7. Seats were comfortable and dash layout was outstanding.
Thanks for the video! It shows details and aspects of the car in real life!
I’ve used two different R8s as daily drivers for 6 years and those cars have even less storage than the C8, so I’m sure you could daily the new Vette. Having said that though, when I used to daily NSXes back in the 90’s, the rear trunk did used to get really hot since it’s right next to the engine bay. You don’t want to put ice-cream back there on your trips to the supermarket. Trust me.
Wow I hope to get to the point in life where I can daily drive R8s and NSXes. I’m 18 and drive a 2001 BMW 540i and absolutely love it but would love to daily a C8 someday. May I ask what you do for a living?
I really gotta see one up close!!!
Same here!
I saw one close up; vlogged it as well. See my channel, my vlog titled I'm Buying The New C8 And Keeping My New C7 GS... Mr DJ...
They are even better in person!
My son preordered one....gonna have to live vicariously through him. I drive the C7 he has now all the time and I hope nothing changes when he gets the C8. Looks like an amazing car. I turn 50 next week and I am still hoping he just gives me the C7 instead of trading it in....very wishful thinking.
I am in love with this thing, it’s so beautiful but aggressive. It’s so fast but calm at the same time. It is just amazing
Awesome video brother, appreciate the info that you provided!
Thanks man 👍🏻
Got to support the Carolina Boys!
Randall Mason thanks man you are awesome Randall! Yea Robert is great too
I can't wait to have this car in 6 years lmfao
Ryan Jones me too 😂
I was hoping for 5 to 6 myself 😁
@moveovermike it might take me 10 too lmfao but I'm shooting for 6.
Time to grind Bois lol
Bad Cxmpany So in 2025.
That car is gorgeous and I have never had a car with more than 150 hp because I like efficiency, but I'll be 35 in a few months, maybe I can conjure a midlife crisis soon.
My daily is a Hyundai and I only get 25MPG on a good week. My 93 Corvette gets that on the highway and is much more fun to drive.
Subscribed. Great C8 content!
My c6 is my daily. It is rock solid reliable. I do love in Clearwater Florida though so no snow!
Appreciate your comments on the C8, you are helping me to be informed as to how I will equip mine... Thanks so much. Great job as usual. 🚘
Congrats on your purchase
GREAT BUY for the dollar! However , I'm going to await until the initial group have be issued before I venture out. GREAT REVIEW!!!!
What an awesome Corvette. Thank you for this video. Great job.
I’ve never been a big corvette fan. However they really got this one right. Well done Chevrolet!!! I want one!!!
Wanted to get Lexus lc500, not anymore, c8 and extra 40k$ in my pocket!
Michael Bilin hey same
I have been a BMW guy since I was able to afford them - and I love my BMW. But my next car will be the C8!
Don't forget the extra room inside the beast for us bigger guys will make daily driving a great experience looking forward to it, Have my allocation in now happy motoring>>grey with red interior 2lt z51. thank for the VLOG's
Great job on the vid bro i actually enjoyed.watchin the whole thing
I cant wait to see one in person. I go to car dealership just to see new cars lol I cant wait to pull up n see this bad boy on the showroom floor
I do the same thing! I can't wait to see one, either.
this car keeps getting better and better and better....
Hey, great and informative vid. Thank you
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I've driven the new C8 and I have to say it was one of the best over all rides FOR SURE could drive it every day. Looking to buy one in the future.
Dont forget that fiberglass body + aluminum frame means it will never rust!
Yes but it will oxidize aka rust but I do love the new vett
@@josephmccoy6885 "However, aluminum corrosion is aluminumoxide, a very hard material that actually protects the aluminum from further corrosion."
Isnt fiberglass less safe ? Its breaks in a crash more then bending
Everything gets mangled in a crash. Well, except for clunkers from the 80's. Those things are tanks.
@@randyr.8536 The body panels of any car these days has nothing to do with safety. All cars have crumple zones now and are meant to crush in certain points like a coke can to absorb energy from a crash, thus not transferring that energy into your body and fvcking you up. These zones are built into the frame so the only thing a panel does is look nice and keep the wind dirt and rocks out of your face lol.
The future is NOW. Thank you GM!!!
Man this car is insane 😱 amazing!
5 good reasons to drive this car on a daily bases and not have it as a weekend car. Keep up these awesome corvette videos. 👍
I really think the C8 will look a lot better with C7 style headlight
I like the bronze lol. I need to see performance and lap times. Car looks good but i need reviews and test drives
Finally found my affordable dream ride, cant wait to buy one.
That black color makes up my mind for me.I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!!
Don't forget the front lift system also increases daily drivability :)
My dream car 🔥
Best Vette ever👍😊 Thanks!
Great video..I have owned 6 vettes and am getting ready to get a C8...Just in time for summer...
THE C8 CAN ALSO IRON YOUR CLOTHES
What are you talking about. The C8 has changed and revolutionized the supercar world. It goes 0 to 60 in 3 seconds cost less than 60k it's the best car ever built. It has a place in the front for it man purse a place in the back for ur golf clubs. I know this because a GM engineer that's paid by GM told us so right up there on the stage and I also know a guy who lives down the road from the plant where corvettes are built and he went on a tour there once
Kevin T dude he’s joking. Cool off and leave.
domantfly it’s a joke moron.
You are damn right. Driving one of those will have any hoe ironing your clothes and more to ride biihhh
I am SO proud of GM really,. I have always believed they have the capabilities of making the best cars in the world and they just proved me right.
Yeah but.... what makes it the best?
This fucker is stupid American junk
Now they just need to bring back Pontiac. I need a Bandit TransAm more than this one.
Marist Old Boys need to bring back Plymouth.
Yup they nailed it with this but blew it on the new trucks.
It’s awesome to think that this is only a sliver of what’s to come for cars of the future. Especially now that companies are taking huge risks to overhaul something and have it succeed.
An absolute masterpiece of American enginuity. What an incredible car. GM completely blew everyones minds with this car. It is and does everything anyone speculated, expected, and hoped for. Exceded all things, hands down. GORGEOUS AS WELL.
IAM IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR!
Two words: no manual
@@gabesiemens1591 you must like losing races, seeing as modern manuals are beat by modern automatics.
Damn Corvette just disrespected the game! They took it to a whole other level...
I’m going to sell all my food stamps to buy this car when it goes on sale.
Sell your meth too and you'll be A-ok
Brilliant 😂
GM has made a bold statement and has gained a lot of fans for this move. They are doing for the Super/Sports Car what KIA did for the performance sedan with the Stinger GT. Congrats on getting this car man, I am getting one too... and I own a Stinger GT!
Useful review👍👍👍👏👏👏
If this vehicle is around 60 grand....that's gonna change the entire game..especially if it does the zero to sixty in under 4 seconds...if this all lines up like that...goodbye so many other cars..
for $5000 extra you can get the Z51 package. Under 3 seconds zero to sixty. The super sports car deal of the century. Other super sports car makers are trembling like a leaf in a hurricane.
Funkmaster Blaster What can you say. The Corvette C8 will kill billions of supercars to save millions. Balanced as all things should.
The dealers will eat the profit, this car will never retail for 60 grand.
@@ForaPhil You can get these all day long for under 60k but that's a base. Who buys just a base?
Most builds of this car will run $75,000. That being said, if you daily drive a $75,000 or even $60,000 car, you can't afford a 60,000 car
Very good info. Daily driver would be great south of here. No snow plow option yet from GM. Buffalo NY. We do build your motor here at the engine plant.
Great car. Can't wait till we get to see yours and your reports on the car.
Waiting for Zo6 option if I live long enough.
Great way to explain how you can daily drive a vett.
I have daily driven my C5 for 4 years. Only put up when there's snow on the ground. Very reliable and comfortable.
koolaid117 the C5 has more luggage space than the C6 & C7 and in reality the C8 has very poor and impractical luggage space compared to previous Corvettes.
I’m really excited for the practicality of the front-end lift. Anyone know the stock ground clearance for the C8 though? The front overhang looks pretty long and I’m wondering if it’ll clear parking garage ramps.
Can’t wait till you do a video of getting the car and when you do a owner review of your C8. I am planning on getting a C8 myself, but wondering what the best option. To either pay a large cash down (like $30/40k) or finance most of it. Thoughts? What are your plans. Would appreciate your plans. Thanks and great vids!!
That's a tough one. I would say to finance the lowest amount possible to save money on interest, but only if the large down payment isn't going to completely deplete your savings.
Always more cash down unless initially saving that money will allow you to make more money than your interest costs over the course of the loan... For example you invest 20k in your business instead of using it for your down payment and this allows you to make more money than the interest from financing that 20k.
@@CarsCostsandTechnology > Excellent reply. "Financial advice" is really a one-on-one situation. IF your large cash is coming from an investment account -- that is currently growing very well {especially a Tax-saving 401k} -- then the interest on your loan will be less than the growth of your account. So better to finance, and let your other money keep growing. But if it is in a standard Bank Savings account making only 2% or less interest growth, then probably better to pay down the Car and get a small monthly payment... and budget the 'difference' in what you would have paid per month to go Back into your savings/investment account each month. [ i.e. If your monthly payment would be $1100 for full financing, but with large down payment, will be $400 per month... put $700 per month back into your investment account(s)]
Why not wait for later trims if you are able to?
@@markhein45 I keep thinking this Everytime I see a news article on the base model... But I guess most of these people can just afford to just trade in their base for a z06
This thing looks amazing. I will say though, the doors with the protruding vent piece are gonna be hitting a lot of things in the parking lot... I'm amazed no one's brought it up.
The new Corvette is so sweet it's absolutely amazing
If I were to get the C8 Z51, I think my first mod would be to go see the Michelin Man for a set of All-Season tires. Kind of a shame GM didn't offer that as option for those that really intend to drive the car in all temps. Save the Wave.
Yeah, I agree. I think the all season tires are the way to go 👍🏻
I think it has three season tires
@@_baller No, the Z51 comes with the Summer Only tires which definitely limits your driving season here in the Northeast.
@Micheal Stillabower Truth, my friend, truth.
Peter Carey why is that? All season tyres are crap on dry tarmac vs summer tyres AND crap on the white stuff compared to winter tyres. They do everything mediocre. Why do the compromise? Here in Scandinavia we drive our sports cars all year round (if you can put up with the wear of salted winter roads on your pride and joy) using high performance summer tyres from May to October and using designated winter tyres during the winter months. No problem getting large enough winter tyres.
The Corvette C8 is greatest car to be made... Can't wait to get mine
I think divided cargo space is actually useful since most ~C7 Corvette owners probably used a cargo divider anyways. Yes you will lose capabilities to carry super large items like TVs and camping tables but people who carry those things on daily basis will probably get a different car. I think it can help keeping everything organized for example you can keep all the work-related items on the front trunk while keeping the rear for groceries and removable roofs. It does seem slightly harder to store racetrack related items like helmets though.
I can't wait to have this car in my garage !! I just sold my Z06 for a good down payment
AND YOU THOUGHT THE C7 WAS AWESOME !!!
OMG I love the C8 and am willing to bet that it not only looks better in person ---
but the sound of that V8 rumbling right behind your shoulders has to be a dream maker for sure...along with the upgraded Bose multi speaker system am sure has to be - well like music to your ears - IKR !!!
Not only the awesome exterior but the much better looking materials such as alcontera and leather and the coloured stitching makes them look even more exotic - THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR GAME CHANGER FOLKS ,,,, can't wait to blast the roads in one very soon :-)))))))))))
Yes GM fans - WE WERE BORN FOR THIS ,,,,,,,,,,,,, and it was more than worth the wait - DON'T CHA THINK Eh ? ? ?
Abso-freaking-lutely :-()
.
Put my deposit in yesterday! I'm so impatient, I can't wait!
Congrats 👍
Enjoy your vette bro
Great value
Cool video bro.
wow, so gerat :)!
I can't give up my massive trunk in the C7Z06. Having two separate trunks isn't the same.
You can't fit continuously long objects like mattresses, TVs, gaming rigs...and it's at this moment I realize I travel too much. 15K Miles in 7 months!
Good point. Depending on the cargo the two separate trunks could be either better or worse. I know for smaller items they tended to roll around in my C7 trunk. The smaller frunk on the C8 should be great for those items, but definitely not as good for the bigger things you listed out. I like your channel by the way 👍🏼 I've watched some of your list videos and Z06 content. Thanks for checking out this video.
Who the fuck is moving mattresses with a Vette?! 😂🤣😂
That automatic front-end lift system sounds awesome! This thing will affect NSX sales for sure.
Thanks! That was very enjoyable to watch! Looking forward to hearing of your actual driving experiences once you get your corvette!
Looks so good in the black . Wonder what the shadow grey looks like ....
Guy will be using it to upgrade the body to build any think. Carbon fiber body parts. Body mods. Just bolt on ! Engine mods. Can't wait!
Such a great car. Want one so much.
Never really been a big fan of corvette but the C8 has honestly quickly become my realistic dream car, realistic as in something that isnt extremely expensive like a ferrari 488
Not down with the square exhaust tips, but everything else is sweet.
you can always change it
Considering this is in the 60k price range that’s not a bad deal at all.
When businesses compete for customers they bring out innovation. Chevy is the epitome of market competition and the amount of value for money the C8 offers is just great.
This will definitely be my next car
What a beautiful car, I will purchase the zo6. The only flaw that I see is the exhaust tips, it doesn't match the car in my opinion.
True
Fuck it get the zr1
@@AKminus47 maybe in a few years
@@marduk2672 I wouldn't call it ugly but they could have done better. People use to say the same thing when the c7 came out
I love It :v I wannabuy It so bad :D
Me too!
So cool , imagine buying this along with huracan evo , and mclaren or ferrari, so much fun
GREAT VIDEO 👍 👍
I HOPE YOU GET THESE EXACT VEHICLES WITH YOUR FAVORITE PAINT AND ALL THE UPGRADES YOU WANT FOR FREE WITH NO CATCHES!
❤💖
You neglected to mention how quickly you can get to the grocery store. Very important when you're hungry.
😂 Agreed
Things gonna get intense in 2020
Even though I can’t even afford this thing I can’t wait for the aftermarket.
So beautiful. Just as beautiful as any supercar in existence
The only thing I would be concerned with is how exposed the radiators are on the front and in the side vent.
Good point. Only time will tell how well they hold up.
aye wassup fellow c5 owner
Great video. Just noticed at 4:30 in the video the c8 has power folding mirrors?
Thanks 👍🏻 Yeah I noticed that as well.
LT2 package offers that yes.
It is only available with the 2LT or 3LT option packages. Cool isn't it?
This is real ultimate driving machine
There are definitely a lot of negative opinions being thrown at this car...especially from the foreign guys. I always live by the rule, if they're not talking about you, you're not interesting!!! Great review and very informative . Thank you. The world is watching this American Icon.
Please build them for Australia 🇦🇺
RHD confirmed!
A kit cars builders dream from the seventies..finally come true in 2020!!! And she's cute and sexy too!! What's not to love...right?? Her other lady rivals....I hear hissing...and growling in the halls of jealousy!!!!!:)
One of them flexed her paw and hissed at me when I walked passed her in my C8 t-shirt.
My dream cars are always GT-R and NSX but ill add this one on he list coz its the cheapest among those 3 and looks awesome
