    People want their cake and eat it too…they want Porsche quality but pay Chevy prices. If Chevy charged an extra $10k and fixed all the issues, ppl would still complain and want more.

      Actually GM did charge the extra amount to provide some of these features with their 2LT trim. But with Porsche you pay for the name more than the feature
      With Chevy you should be paying more for the feature than the name

  • @hank41652
    @hank41652 7 місяців тому +5

    The "no touch" trunk closure only works for the coupe due to the deck lid being larger and heavier. It does not; however, work every time, you have to give it a bit of a shove. For the HTC, you still have to give the deck lid the extra push. Also, the HTC deck lid does not have an inside pull. On the other hand, they are just cars. I can handle some finger prints, I also keep a microfiber towel behind the seat.

    • @JayJafar
      @JayJafar  7 місяців тому

      That makes sense but aren’t the rear hood struts also heavier to counter the weight effect?
      Also I use my knuckles to close the frunk haha you may have noticed in the video too…. Just to mitigate finger prints lol

  • @howelljaynes1292
    @howelljaynes1292 6 місяців тому +3

    The front trunk "auto" closing feature works differently from the rear trunk "auto" feature. The reason is most owners that buy the optional battery maintainer (from CTEK). leave the maintainer in the bottom of the front trunk, these people (me) want the front trunk lid to stay cracked open for about an inch so the AC power cord can exit the front trunk to be connected to 110 VAC external power.

    • @JayJafar
      @JayJafar  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes, a lot of people pointed that out and I agree with the reasoning. Could there have been a way around it? Yes, like most modern cars have auto trunk close and when they feel resistance they back out. But that might have been asking too much from a performance car & GM lol. Nevertheless I learned the reasoning after posting this video and reading the comments

    Valid complaints since most of the parts to fix the problems are already in GMs inventory. GM always seems to be half-stepping when it comes to their products. Look how long people complained about the seats in the Corvette when the CTS-V had better supportive seats than the Corvettes of the same era.

    • @JayJafar
      @JayJafar  7 місяців тому

      The CTS-V is their luxury sports offering to compete against german offerings in the same class
      Corvette being more sports focused is probably why. But I do agree with you GM can improve it at the same price level but they don’t

    ALL great items to discuss. The Corvette 2024 LT3 I looked at in s showroom, showed me that several dash control items were just not good. For example, the Stalk controls on the Steering column. Down right cheap plastic for a $100K Car. Esp. with the LT3 upgrade.

      The soft close was also a major reason I asked my dealer I am willing to move behind on the allocation so that I can get the 2024. My biggest shock was the car not having adaptive cruise control though, they put all the tech like censors for vehicle detection, auto braking etc. but still no Adaptive cruise.

    Great video, Jay. I agree. Absolutely, GM has dropped the ball on upgrading the "basic" safety features in a car at this price point. Yes, it's a sports car, but will it hurt to add safety features that even every subaru model offers? Are the consumers asking too much ? How much does it really cost to add side mirror sensors or a warning beep for front and rear while parking ? If GM is charging $ 2595 for a front axel lift, then why not add those features with this package? I drove a c8 convert yesterday, and the front parking camera view is horrendous. I almost hit the car in the front while parking it back on the lot. I loved the car, but i plan on "using" it as much as possible, and these "minor" issues are a real pain in the butt. Especially if every other car in my driveway has those basic features. Once you're used to these features, it's hard to go back, and one tends to take them for granted in every car. My Ford Tremor has a far superior front camera. I would love to buy the car but need a solution for the front camera view. Is there any information on how to fix or upgrade to an aftermarket camera?

    • @JayJafar

      No solutions I have heard of for the front camera

    My personal opinion is that Chevy corporate should do what they said they would do and cut the allocations and or deliveries to any dealer that would gouge buyers. It's pathetic that dealers would use this car as a way to scam the buyer. I found a dealer in IL. ( Leach Wilson) that is willing to sell the car at MSRP. Aaron and the sales group there is just extremely helpful.
    The problem they're having is getting the allocation? So as usual you have the dealers that are gouging the buyer getting the allocations, and the dealers that are looking out for the buyer getting snubbed.
    Chevy stand by your word get the cars out to dealers that will work with the buyers. I understand that it is all about sales. The question is can't all the dealers that have buyers waiting get an allocation? I'm sure the sales of the car will be as strong and the people that have been waiting will be happy with Chevy. WOW what a great sales and corporate boost. The little guy who WANTS the car getting it.. Instead of the greedy self serving dealers getting the cars to the people that have the time and extra thousands to spend.
    Trust me I'm looking for a fully loaded Z07. I'm not looking for a baseline car, as I'm 65 and want to enjoy something I've waited my whole life for.
    C'MON CHEVY GET THE CAR OUT TO ALL THE DEALERS NOT JUST THE SELECT FEW EAST COAST AND OR GOUGING DEALERS. Get some allocations out to the smaller and mid range dealers as well.

      GM sent out letters to dealers that they are not charge market adjustments that was just for "show" to customers as dealers still did and GM did nothing.
      Even to this day all dealers are over charging for the Z06 while some continue to do the same on the stingray.

    The 2024 C8 LT1 is, in my opinion, one of the most incredible values imaginable. It performs in a class with cars costing many times more than its mid 70k price tag. Its performance capabilities far surpass most of its owners driving abilities. I'm sorry but I find your criticisms, for the most part, petty. Fingerprints on the hood? Give me a break.

      But you are correct, the car overall is a far better value than anything else on the market, looks, performance and tech everything is way beyond the price point. My whole point was the "Changes" was not talking about the overall car. Hence the "petty" criticism

Interior, transmission, power to the ground etc etc etc. You would sue Chevy if you owned a c5 and your complaining about these things on a c8. You need to view this car as a continuation of the previous model, the c7. If you compare it to that you will think this car is what it is, a homerun.

    What GM needs to change to make this car world class!
    • Redesign the interior and get rid of the tablet display and the HVAC small buttons on the rail to the right of the driver! This gimic just shows GM has no design talent and have to use a gimmick to make it something new!!!

The C8 Z06 won't be a match as the Gallardo will have way more HP and have AWD! Yes, it is a bit older but the build quality of the old Gallardo still exceeds the new cars built by GM!

    1) Worrying about fingerprints on the frunk? This only impacts the owners that just want garage queens, where they will have the car for 3 years and put 700 miles on it because all they do is polish it and look at it, or park it at a car meet and sit on a lawn chair looking at it. The soft close works just fine. It get fingerprints, and if you drive it, its gonna get rock chips and door dings in parking lots and at some point a crack in the windshield from a rock... It's a car, that's how it works... I have had mine a month and have 2,100+ miles on it and already have a small chip in the PPF on the front. Is what it is... I don't even worry about it...
    2) Putting "in Mexico" as some sort of disclaimer, like its gonna protect you legally if law enforcement were to try and use your video against you as evidence of speeding or reckless driving... yeah, no. Not gonna work. They can read the road signs and tell exactly where you were. haha
    3) Never use Lane assist, I usually turn that off. Don't need it beeping at me if I am in the mtns and cut the inside left corner a bit and go over the line a tad...
    4) Agree with the cell phone holder. It's really awkward to get to unless you are a contortionist. The seat locks you in nice and tight, and twisting 180 degrees to get to your phone is a pain...

      2) haha the Mexico was just as a joke, but these videos are just for entertainment (could be sped up too?) lol 😉
      3) I use the lane keep a lot, but not during a spirited run just on highways and my other car is a Tesla (non FSD) so I really feel the difference
      4) I have yet to find someone who actually uses the wireless charger and they use aftermarket holders next to the infotainment screen

    Not Ferrari or McLaren have a better optioned car on the market in the performance range, and certainly not Porsche. Have you looked at what a base 992 911 gives you in interior options? The chassis ALONE is a better neutral handling car THAN any Carbon tub McLaren on track. GM has luxury cars that make you go to sleep as well, but this is a sports car and fiddling with your phone while driving a high horsepower anything is risky business.
