Thank you for sharing your build and insight. That sounds like a sweet C8! 😎

If I had the Bucks that’s exactly what I would like to do. Maybe a 2020 in a couple of years realistically. Hopefully at least a 2LT but got my eye on something else for the immediate future since what I’m thinking has front and back seats. Maybe someday. 👍

That’s gonna be sweet! 😎

Yup! It’s a 2024 but was used so somewhere in the first 3k miles the original owner had these installed. Personally, I wouldn’t want to own it this way, but for driving it for the day it was extremely cool! 😎

Thanks!! This was such a fun video to make. 😎

Thanks! This one was so fun to get to drive! I’m hopefully going to be reviewing a 24 E-Ray around August! 🤩

I absolutely agree! And without rollout it was a 3.9. But I filmed those two 0-60s as the first acceleration I did in this Corvette so now that I know its behavior better I could have fine tuned the testing if I wanted to. But a 4.1 at in my area regardless is amazing, especially for an NA car and on its first attempts with not fresh tires lol. I think that’s about what the Trackhawk ran when I tested one of those last year. 😳🤪

Lol. Thanks for watching, I hope you had at least 12% the fun I had making this one. It was so worth the wait to find a 24 Vette! 😍

Yeah, the launch wasn’t fantastic that’s for sure. With a few test launches it would have been a bit better. But still limited by traction and density altitude. I’d love to experience this in perfect conditions! 😍

And your car is BY FAR much better looking than the design disaster C8.

This example is a 2024 but used with 3k miles. And in the previous ownership the owner had put on the vertical door INC kit.

The C7 is my fav along with this C8. Both have gorgeous styling. So many aftermarket parts to make them faster.

Nice review! Making calls with Android Auto is next to impossible. I think it’s the worst feature, otherwise the car is AWESOME!

Correction - it IS a locking gas cap.

I’m not sure how it’s click bait when it’s a review of a 24 Corvette, lol. But they’re not a factory option. They’re after market by Vertical Doors, Inc.

It was definitely a dream come true to finally drive one! 😁

Mine as well, pretty much any production year.

I would assume they’re fairly comfortable for the average person. But I do recommend asking or searching that question in a C8 forum. Thanks for watching!

I’m 6’1” 230lbs and I’m very comfortable in the car on long trips.

I have a 2023 2lt hard top convertible and just hit 10k miles. Got my C8 in August of 2023 and have been on several long road trips. I have the GT2 seats which are very comfortable (heated and cooled) and supportive. I've never felt fatigued due to the seats. I might add that I'm 56. The bolsters on the seat bottom and back are fixed so larger (girthy) drivers my be a little uncomfortable.

Side bolsters are adjustable@@30-Year_Accountant

Good catch! Thanks for adding this. 🙂

I can’t believe how long it took to find this one, lol. But it was 100% worth the wait! Honestly, in person I think any of the colors offered look good on the C8. This is one of those cars that was designed in such a way that it basically speaks for itself! 🤩

I hear you! Having never driven a mid engine car before I think the most surprising part of this car is how hard it launches from a dig. It’s basically EV level acceleration out of the hole. But then from rolls, even 20mph it just feels like a well balanced 500HP mid 3,000# car at that point. I could imagine the E-Ray and Zo6 with their power bump is an entirely better experience. But for the base Corvette I was very impressed, I just wish it still started at 60k, lol.

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 That's not really true... EVs launch much harder, having neither throttle lag nor the need to rev to mid- 4000 rpms before getting near maximum torque. Weight distribution is only relevant for launching 2WD cars too. With 4 driven wheels it is largely a no issue because the total traction, all else being equal, across 4 wheels is roughly the same regardless of weight distribution or shift. -- Regardless, my point is that the C8 is not a super deal car. It is a good car, but at $70+K it's priced fairly but not a steal like so many people say it is. Remember the C5 was a $40K car (new) and no cars did not go up 75% in price over the last 20 years. -- Personally, I think GM needs a 3-3-3 car as the "Jr. Halo car" for young people to dig the brand. 300hp, 3000 lbs, staring at $30,000. I think it is very doable, mid engine or not.

There are so many factual inaccuracies in your comment, I think you need to do some real- life research. You're misinformed.

Please tell me another mid-engine car brand new that cost less that a M3??? M3s are not that “nice/better furnished”

Lol. 😂

That’s for sure, lol. But I will say this was definitely within the top 5 cars I’ve ever driven or been in. Hopefully in August I’ll have an E-Ray review! 🤩

Lol, I would argue looks are subjective! I personally like the exterior styling of the Corvette more than many other mid/rear engine cars. But I am curious what your favorite looking car is? Thanks for watching! 🙂

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Looks are indeed subjective. What’s NOT subjective is that the C8 is a chaotic design. A collision of lines and angles. You may find that pleasing. But it is what it is. A HUGE chopped off front end. And a rear that is simply incomprehensible.

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 The C7 is a beautiful car. Save for the chaotic rear end. The original Stingray and E-type jags are stunning. The modern Jag f-types are beautiful beyond belief. The Ford GT is gorgeous. Many McLarens are beautiful. In terms of design vernacular, the C8 has more in common with the Pontiac Aztek than a Ford GT. What is also not subjective is that the C8 is the only Corvette in history to actually be called “ugly” by many major automotive press. It boggles my mind that someone designed it, thought it was attractive, and then someone in management approved it.

I agree​@@iowa61I agree completely,so disappointed

@@iowa61 I think it can look good from certain angles, especially ,its side profile but yeah, its a Very busy design in an era where smooth organic flowing lines are more common... if the took its basic look and softened all those sharp ,hard angles, it would be sexy as all hell... agree about its blunt nose,its always struck me the same..they were surely aware of it as the z06 nose and eray sculptered it to look alot less blunt....All that said, I'd be head over heels to have ownership of one of those if I could afford one!!
