I just did mines, I love it in white and black coupe with the Z07 package with the carbon fiber 5 spoke wheels. Of course that's without a budget in mind.
I have owned over 50 Corvettes - I now have a C8 -2lt - convertible - this car is the absolute best Corvette ever. I have also owned Jaguar’s, Ferrari’s, Porches- none of them hold a candle to this C-8 Corvette - I honestly don’t know how GM can build this vehicle for the price they sell it for. Amazing !! Being 77 years old - I was hesitant in buying this vehicle - I made the right decision and have NO buyers remorse. It is better than sex !!! And less expensive in the long run !!
You can never go wrong with all black...trouble to maintain but loved by many. I would like dark gray wheels however as a contrast to the tires...or maybe the gold.
This is very tempting but i can wait another 2 years for the zr1, on the plus side by the time it does come out I can put a solid 75-80% down when its out
Yeeaaah I get it because you get bragging rights and its the top dog; but without going full track how much more can you really put or use on the street? It's a sub 3 second car!!!
Hey man great channel! I used to live in Greer not far from your area. You still posting content? I have an order in for Stingray in Tampa Fl at MSRP but hey are saying may be 2 yrs. Nice car you have. Do I need Z51? I wont track it but will drive spirited, car shows, etc…Best of Luck.
Wow. Didn't think that would be up yet. Like the look of the ZO7 pkg but the brakes are too expensive to replace. Will have to see if all the ZO7 aero can be had separate. Thanks for the info. Visualizer time.
@@CarsCostsandTechnology It’s weird. It’s like I was getting a totally different version that was broken. I finally got the version you used when I tried using Safari in a private window. Thanks!
It would be nice if I could actually get through the configurator before it crashes and says try again later. I guess there are too many people overloading their server or bandwidth.
I could not make it work correctly. Could change colors and wheels but not add anything Z07 or those related details. I like that you can add a carbon flash front splitter. Goes well with that low rear spoiler. I like carbon fiber but if I wanted to go all out and get all available, I would be unhappy as the side scoop "wishbone" trim is not available nor is the lower fascia in the rear. So at best you get a mix. I think I would go for all carbon fiber inside and all carbon flash outside. I like that natural dipped interior with red paint. I recall seeing a Porsche that was red/red...matching interior color. I liked it.
I think the z07 packages a little overkill most people aren’t going to use those tires or other things on that package packageI am going to stay in the base model and add a few other things here and there
@@CB-kq3ui Could be more like $140,000 loaded. Those carbon fiber wheels will be big dollar as might be the carbon fiber interior pieces..plus the wing and splitter. Don't forget the roof panel. Convertible, add $8,000. I'd kinda like to wait for the Zora...or will we all be either drowning or boiling from climate change by then...or have gas at $7.00 per gallon.
Off the wall question but i think you might respond. My 2014 Z51 3LT A6 White w/red 10,000 miles. I can not trade up to a C7 Z06 nor would I trade up for a C8. I am 73, I love my C7 and really wish to keep it. BUT I am a car guy in the bone and need to change it! I want the E Ray front wheel drive system for my C7 desperately. As a retired Engineer I fully understand and appreciate the EV Front drive advantage. I know in Europe firms are offering retrofit Hub Wheel drive Systems to Convert Front engine Rear drive trucks and light cars to AWD Hybrid! And not 100's of thousands of dollars. I want to Hybridize my C7. I have asked Volvo related Polestar but they are only interested in New Cars. I have asked Callaway but they have not responded. I can see the a Hub Wheel Motor replaces the existing hub and brake assembly, the controller would have to fitted into the rear hatch and the batteries would also have to planted in the cargo area. Costing 6 or 8 inches of the hatch trunk floor space vertically. So The Callaway group has a Expanded Rear Hatch lid that adds several cubic inches to the storage space above the EV kit. These Hub Wheel Motors come in 50, 100 HP range and cost from $2k to $5. Would you know any organization dealing in EV Hybrid Conversions in the US. What are your thoughts on Looking back to the C7 Last of the Front engine Rear Wheel drive American Sports car as an AWD Hybrid??? I have authorization to seriously consider such an Retrofit Instead of leaping into the C8 E Ray at likely $120K with options. Thank You for an enthusiastic review of Corvettes, you do a great job.
I think the site was crashing due to volume. Maybe they removed some options to help that issue? Not sure. Many others are having that problem as well.
@@CarsCostsandTechnology I was back on the visualizer a little while ago and they had it almost completely fleshed out, all the colors and options. I was able to build a base Z06 2LZ and add the aero package in carbon flash along with the Z07 spoiler in carbon flash, all the parts to make it look like a Z07 except the carbon fibre wheels. And, luckily I downloaded a pic of it. Right after that, the screen went dark and got an error message and when I refreshed the screen, it was back to the visualizer as it was when it first was up. Guess they were playing around with it, testing it out and I got lucky to catch it when I did.
All I saw was exterior color, interior color, coupe or convertible. You think GM would have this website up and running properly. They had 3 years to make sure this happened.

z06 always looked so forced to me, like as if the z06 should just be a separate vehicle all together, love how the base models looks for both c6, c7 and c8.
.,..I love cars too (I have a 2017 Corvette C7 with the fun manual transmission) but it ain't free and stocks are one way to make money. AMAZON: Yep, I bought a ton on the dip.

Get on board or be runover, it's up to you.
We need some after market head and tail lights. Let it be known that i know my gripes with the new C8 is rather trivial and foolish considering what your getting for its price. And im willing to bet that doubles down with the new z06, But i still hold onto my somewhat dislike of its design. Its not a bad looking car, but in my eyes its still very generic in its design language. More i feel what they decided to carry on from past corvette design lanuage shouldve been dropped all together for a completely all new design language or at best 80% their of since the old design was so uterly long in the tooth. And its that old past design still visible in the new c8 that makes it feel dated in its look. when it should be something on the order of a breath of fresh air. I like the new design cues threwought the z06, especially the side wishbone. but god if i could replace the hood headlights and taillights for something more modern. All this new car with such a staunch reminder of decades worth in lack of design innovation. now .. i know i know. petty stuff. dont get me wrong, ide still buy the car, but ide be on the lookout for either finding a nice aftermarket design change or developing one myself. Ive already seen some concepts minor changes that elevates the car's look dramatically in the positive.
I had my 2021 C8 for 3 days and couldn't get over the long headlights on the short nose. From the front, it's fine, but the side profile is tainted by the large amount of plastic headlight interrupting the fender line. The car sits right outside my door at my office and it is a focal point I prefer to change. Glad to know someone else feels the same.
@@jasoncopeland781 Im not the only one, but as i said myself i know such things are simply forgiven by many, But we all see and know the car shouldve looked better. Yes when you see it in the flesh its striking to behold. But it also comes across very plasticy, rushed and dated. And i feel its because its design when hand in hand with the developement of the c7. and both were designed with cues from the 458 italia, lambo aventador and of course older corvette models. All this for a car that would debut a generation down the road. The same thing happened with the NSX. designing a car off of current day exotics but only to debut the finished product a full generation and a half later. we know both cars took way too long in development. granted it payed off in every other regard, except in styling.

🔥🔥🔥
I think it looks even better in the convertible, in my opinion.
Agreed
But if I wanted a race car, I would like the Coupe
I agree 👍🏻
@@darkenchanter2964
The other thing is that with the coupe you get to see the engine. So, there is downsides to both.
@@TheTmat007 Very very true
Convertible’s are whack you can’t see the engine and the coupe comes with a targa top that’s honestly the best option imo
i never get bored watching your contents 👌🏼
all black exterior black wheels with dipped red interior will look FIRE!
🔥🔥🔥
Murdered out 3x black that you speced Z07 is the way to go. That's the way I'm going to spec mine. 1ST thing to do is PPF & ceramic coat.
Looks so good 🔥
You can never go wrong with all black...trouble to maintain but loved by many. I would like dark gray wheels however as a contrast to the tires...or maybe the gold.
fully agree, z06 is the better package
This is what I would choose.
I did a very similar build. Hypersonic gray looks a lot like Shark Gray. Oh man am I tempted but not sure what I would get for my c7Z…
I'm glad to see Chevy update there engine to a 32V/flat plane crank & carbon fiber wheels like a 2015 Shelby GT350R
This is very tempting but i can wait another 2 years for the zr1, on the plus side by the time it does come out I can put a solid 75-80% down when its out

I told people the Z06 would look sick.
Z07 Elkhart Lake blue. If got the $ HTC & 3LZ TENSION BLUE Interior low wing. Cant afford full CF Interior but dam it looks good
Yeah it does! Curious to see the pricing on level 2.
I remember when you sold you stingray. I think you'll be happier if you get to upgrade to the z06
Wow. Didn't think that would be up yet.
Like the look of the ZO7 pkg but the brakes are too expensive to replace. Will have to see if all the ZO7 aero can be had separate.

Have fun building yours!
@@CarsCostsandTechnology
Well maybe today. Every time I used it the options didn't show. Maybe better luck today.
.
Z06 HTC base Elkhart Lake blue or Purple if they have it. Want the 3LZ with Tension blue Interior. blacked out Interior trim & tail pipes
How did you even get the visualizer to work?? I've tried different browsers on both PC and Mac, and nothing but problems with it!

amaZing looking car for sure!... will have to fight off all the ladies... lol and the Police ... he he
Lol for sure.
@@CarsCostsandTechnology :) hey!
Anyone know what happened to our guy here? 😕
The big wing looks good from outside, or driving by. But sitting in the driver seat looking out rear view cam it blocks view.
wonder how its doing the visualization, it seems very high res and high poly wonder if they are off loading the processing to a server... hmm...
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Do you really need to have the ceramic brake to have the carbon z07 wing?
It's a good thing the C11 Z06 will be out by the time im able to afford this 🤷♂️
Ha! C11 will be all electric if not C10. All performance Cadillacs coming up will be EV. Next Lamborghini Aventador will be hybrid.
Anyone else not have all the options on the configurer?
I don't
Same. Don’t have all the options

What are the color choices?
about price: any guess of what it would cost?
my guess is that chevy wants to sell as many as they can with a price under 100k
what do you think?
@@CB-kq3ui yeah my guess for the base price is $89,995
I agree. Base price under $100k with the ceiling being upwards of $120-130k fully loaded.
