Has to be the best bang for your buck car on the market right now here in the states. And its finally a gorgeous looking car, with a fantastic interior for the cost.
looking forward to seeing the Z06 and ZR1 versions. One of my favorite engine sounds was the the C6 Z06 at full tilt, makes the hairs on my neck stand on end!
The new Corvette is awesome, the looks as you would expect from a corvette, performance again as you would expect from a corvette but handling and comfort are much better than the C6. The people at Top Gear have just drooled over the vette and you can read the new magazine out now , which features all the best cars head to head driving over terrain suited for only the best...corvette comes out with amazing congratulations to Chevy. What makes the vette so cool is the price and the fact that its the base corvette. It's faster than a 911 and better brakes and handling than some super cars. The Z06 version is better again and can't wait for the monster ZR1 version!!!
I can't BELIEVE the same Chevy that builds the Vette is the same Chevy that did such a horrible job on the Malibu. Except for the awful Velocity Yellow, this car looks and sounds hellacious
1: I think its the LT1 not LT4. 2: Corvette's have always had Latest Technology, just look up every new (new Gen) Corvette GM made, My old 86 Vette has Bosch ABS, Limited Slip, Bosch Fuel Injection, All the MPG instant and Average and Live, Independent Suspension ,Auto dimming Lights and the list goes on.
Daniel Shrif Very comfortable (much more so than the C6), at least with the optional magnetic ride control dampers. I haven't tried the C7 without those dampers, but I assume it'd be a bit rougher riding without them.
I'm 6-ft tall and found the Z51 very comfy. Seats are mega adjustable, heated and cooled in the trim level we had. I could cruise all day in comfort mode without fatigue. Very little engine noise at highway speeds in 7th gear and excellent fuel economy. I'd drive cross-continent in this thing without a second thought.
There are sportscars that are more powerful than a 911 and are still slower. The Corvette may have more power but the 911 is about 300lbs lighter, and the model they tested had a DSG if I recall correctly. According to KBB the Corvette is #5 as far as car resale value out of all the cars sold here, the 911 isn't even in the top 10 so... Maybe you're not in the US and it's a different story for you.
mak450 Actually, the 911 C4S I tested had the 7-speed manual gearbox (which I believe is the only other 7-speed manual on the market other than the C7).
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Corvettes have some of the best resale values of any sports car, right up there with Porsche. Love it when retards run their mouths before fact-checking.
He said " Exotic styling " which is annoying. Why not just say it looks cool or awesome. Not every exotic car is good looking. The old c6 looked awesome when it was released and now. The camaro is a big seller because of its looks. The challenger and vipers are nice looking cars too .Ferrari has taken alot of looks from previous corvettes and i doubt they were saying..." its american styling " or " Exotic styling " back then
johny johnson You would be going through a midlife crisis if you had a crappy kia..lol. If you had a corvette people wouldn't think you are going through a midlife crisis at all..they would be envious that you had a cool sports car...end of story!!
Never fails, as the boss kicked the M3 ass around laguna secs, as the new stingray makes short work of overpriced euro sports machines that price themselves on the bloated euro and lacking in performance status...the euro fan boys have to come in with their mindless sewage commentary, to all of you....drown in your BS and weep as the stingray looks hotter and out performs and outclasses what you prefer..
you just went full potato ...it has the best fuel economy for the power ....my Avenger R/T gets even less MPG while it has only 283 hp and it weights around the same maybe the Avenger is 100 pounds heavier
I'd rather My opinion chil out American muscle Fan boy's In Australia Euro All the way or on budget JDM or Any Japanese performance Vehicle!! why pay double or more Than double for an American counter Part!!??
So ? It's better than an R35, many euro supercars or other Japanese performance vehicles. 0-60 Performance isn't everything you know? It's all about the joy of driving and for that there aren't any better cars right now than the C7 Corvette and the Jag F-Type. Most awesome supercars currently on sale. And please, learn some proper English because you're barely making any sense.
Ahmad says to much displacement and comments on fuel consumption....the American Corvette gets upwards of 30 mpg and smokes just about everything on the plant for less......go back to your video game in your mom`s basement.

Bought a new 2019 C7 Corvette Grand Sport with a Manual Transmission, and it’s phenomenal! Buy one, life is short.
Good thinking, last year for a manual corvette. Also, the C7 is prettier than the C8.
The price tag on this c7 humiliates any european competition
Interior is badass, also reminds me of the last gen Supra how the whole dash and middle cluster is facing towards the driver.
I'm pretty sure it's an LT1 engine in the new corvette. The LT4 is going into the ZO6.
Yup, my bad! LT1, of course. Odd that GM went with the LT1 designation when the old iron block V8s in the C4 were also LT1 (and later LT4).
Love this car. Regards from Portugal.
Welcome back GM FTW
When they want to make a car, man do they ever make a car. And the Z28 Camaro is pretty good too.
The question is which ignition switch did they use?
Probably not the same one as the cobalt
Bryan Doherty Lol
The c6 probably had the same ignition switch as the cobalt
looking forward to seeing the Z06 and ZR1 versions. One of my favorite engine sounds was the the C6 Z06 at full tilt, makes the hairs on my neck stand on end!
Its still gonna sound great but not like the old 7.0 liter in the ZO6. The new one has a much raspier tone it seems like
Favorite car. I love every aspect of it.
i got to see a few of these in europe, and i gotta say they are some breathtaking sports cars.
Great car! Can't wait for a Z06 review
Spectacular!
i dig the yellow
Untouchable bang for the buck
I thought the engine was an LT1. Does your Corvette have something different LOL😂

Great video. Ok I'm turning 16 in a few months do you think that's a good car to practice on?
How rich are you? A $60,000 car as your first car.
9 years later what have you been driving?
What a BEAST!
He must have Z06 on the brain.... 'LT4'
Track em if you got em..
Smartest comment of the day!
I can afford that?wow
I am buying that
So did you ever get one?
TommygunnZ33 nope, would of been a bad investment. Put that money in a good university
I can't BELIEVE the same Chevy that builds the Vette is the same Chevy that did such a horrible job on the Malibu. Except for the awful Velocity Yellow, this car looks and sounds hellacious
beautiful muscle car i like the muffler sound is amazing
Chevy finally made a great car lol
you mean LT1
impressed. 1s faster than a C4S, damn.
LT1?
This is the same guy from Speed Academy Chanel right?
LT4? Really? Your credibility just went out the door autoguide.
Without some decent twin cluch gearbox this car is no match for the Europeans ...still gorgeous as hell !!
Best review on the corvette yet.
That must be an Audi R8 V10 which hold the record.
That looks super fuel efficient
It actually can get about 30 MPG on the highway... You could drive this thing as a daily driver.
Omg really?
1: I think its the LT1 not LT4.
2: Corvette's have always had Latest Technology, just look up every new (new Gen) Corvette GM made, My old 86 Vette has Bosch ABS, Limited Slip, Bosch Fuel Injection, All the MPG instant and Average and Live, Independent Suspension ,Auto dimming Lights and the list goes on.
When are you guys going to test the the new 8 speed for stingray?
It is not out yet.
so a base jag f type is more expensive than this. this corvette is dirt cheap for its stats.
Some American cars are under rated even though they are cheap for their stats
Ya
is this car comfortable to drive and is there plenty of room for a 6 foot guy like me
does the ride beat u up or is it pretty comfortable
Daniel Shrif Very comfortable (much more so than the C6), at least with the optional magnetic ride control dampers. I haven't tried the C7 without those dampers, but I assume it'd be a bit rougher riding without them.
David Pratte The base (non Z51) rides smoother than the Z51
Not at all! It is very uncomfortable and my friend that's 5.3 needs to put the seat all the way back.
I'm 6-ft tall and found the Z51 very comfy. Seats are mega adjustable, heated and cooled in the trim level we had. I could cruise all day in comfort mode without fatigue. Very little engine noise at highway speeds in 7th gear and excellent fuel economy. I'd drive cross-continent in this thing without a second thought.
The #Porsche 911 only has 400 HP! So the #Corvette should be faster. But on the flip side, the Bavarian car will hold its value unlike the Vette
There are sportscars that are more powerful than a 911 and are still slower. The Corvette may have more power but the 911 is about 300lbs lighter, and the model they tested had a DSG if I recall correctly.
According to KBB the Corvette is #5 as far as car resale value out of all the cars sold here, the 911 isn't even in the top 10 so...
Maybe you're not in the US and it's a different story for you.
Porsche isn't Bavarian! But none the less…..
mak450 Actually, the 911 C4S I tested had the 7-speed manual gearbox (which I believe is the only other 7-speed manual on the market other than the C7).
David Pratte
Ahhhh alright. I got it confused with the one the dude in the glasses drove(his name escapes me at the moment).
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Corvettes have some of the best resale values of any sports car, right up there with Porsche.
Love it when retards run their mouths before fact-checking.

Merica
2019 ZR1 755hp!
Hes driving a stick but are those paddles behind the wheel at 07:20??
Yes, it's called rev match option. It is also on the automatic's.
So you have to hit the paddle and downshift at the same time to rev-match?
3:55 take the hood off cause i want to feel the wind in my hair. 4:03 hood back on -___-
I noticed that as well, wonder if wind noise was an issue while trying to record this review?
Snarkify vS *roof. haha
Did you also notice he doesnt have hair :P
I know it's technically a better car than the C6, but that fugly rear end is too much of a turn-off.
Hair... are you kidding my bald friend?
nah. i will stick with my kia
At least in a Kia nobody is going to think you're going through a midlife crisis haha
johny johnson You would be going through a midlife crisis if you had a crappy kia..lol. If you had a corvette people wouldn't think you are going through a midlife crisis at all..they would be envious that you had a cool sports car...end of story!!
That is the biggest BS anybody has ever told me in my entire life.
+REIGREHGKJREHGER
have a KIA and but sometimes i lease a C7 for our autobahn ;-)
great car but it needs a supercharger at higher speeds !
Trac control stays on , dont you watch youtube !
These junky cars are for old people. All of them are sold with an automatic
GM Authority website has announced that 60% sold are Automatics 40% Manuals trans.
Thanks for posting when you don't know what you're talking about
JLP Design, Many are sold with manual transmission, what are you talking about?
i agree with you, now plz eat a big bowl of shit
Wow, somebody wasn't paying attention to the video ... the test car in the video has a 7-speed manual tranny. He also talks about it at 6:18
The Porsche 911 is an automatic. Need I say more?

what hair?? lol
waste of petrol too much fucking displacement i rather get a European Muscle straight out and Australia is overpriced for American Muscle
you just went full potato ...it has the best fuel economy for the power ....my Avenger R/T gets even less MPG while it has only 283 hp and it weights around the same maybe the Avenger is 100 pounds heavier
Man i love vettes but im saying in Australia not worth worth it relaxx! Its the same price as a r35
I'd rather My opinion chil out American muscle Fan boy's In Australia Euro All the way or on budget JDM or Any Japanese performance Vehicle!! why pay double or more Than double for an American counter Part!!??
