I forgot to mention in the video: Getting about 13mpg in the city and 24mpg on the hwy over the last year. 17mpg overall since most of my driving is in the city. Thanks again for watching!

What a beauty... hoping to buy one soon. I sacrificed my youth, time with friends, weddings, birthdays, and vacations to become a doctor. I can't wait to enjoy it as my daily driver

I appreciate that you are very humble and your story is very familiar to many of us. I have a Torch Red / Natural interior on order and anxiously awaiting it to arrive. I, like you, never thought it would be possible to own an $80,000 car and I am extremely grateful to soon be a C 8 owner. Cheers from Austin, TX

I just picked up my Torch Red and i can second everything Jump Squad is saying. Very well said, i smile everytime i walk in the garage. If youre reading this trust me this is the car of dreams.

A buetifel car I'm a shop rat got a 21 2lt z51 and lift torch red with stripes ! Love the attention I get also has mag ride! Makes me feel young again I'm 73

Proper amount of humility and sounding like a decent human being. Good vid, thanks for sharing

I have had my c8 2022 since sept 21st, you are right on, people love it and I am so so happy driving it around just going no were!!!!

Great video, I think I’m about 3 weeks from bringing mine home. HSG Z51 HTC with two tone seats, mag ride, and front lift. I used to dream of owning not only a Vette but also many of the mid engine cars when I was a kid. To think that I’m fixing to own the Corvette as a mid engine car is crazy exiting.

If it was me, I would rather save up money for the end of C8 generation where all the improvements have been made.

Ordered my 22' Convertible last week. Dealer says delivery could be up to a year maybe sooner. Gonna be a painful waiting period for sure. Great video by the way.

Great video. Everything you said applies to me. Worked hard all my life and now I have the car of cars. What an accomplishment! Makes all the work and sacrifice worth it.

Nothing can compete with corvette in this price range.

Great video! I couldn't put the ownership of my 2020 1lt c8 corvette into words any better than you have!

Just passed the 10,000 mile mark on my 2021 Torch Red, 2LT HTC non Z-51. Only had it for 6 months, but it is such a kick to drive! Just got back from a 2500 mile road trip on Route 66! Car has performed flawlessly ever since new. Drove 1000 miles from Denver to Chicago to start Route 66, often traveling at 80-85 mph on I-80, and averaged 30.8 mpg with two people and both trunks stuffed with luggage. Worst gas mileage I ever get is around 21 mpg. Pros: Everything everyone else has already said. Cons: 1. Road noise inside cabin at higher speeds can get a bit loud if road surface is not absolutely perfect. 2. Lower part of front door panel easily gets scoffed upon entry/ exit, seen it on quite a few C-8s Cannot get rid of those marks. 3. Seams along edge of driver’s seat showing premature wear, a little disheartening. 3. Rear trunk gets quite warm, so do not carry your ice cream there. Overall, really love the car and favorite feature is the rear window on the convertible that goes up and down. Love the ventilation it offers and ability to hear the engine better when you want to.

I've been waiting 4 months on a new HD2500 and already talking to my sales lady about a new C8. She said she can get them faster than a truck. So right now I'm like a pitbull stretching the leash over one of these. Great piece following up after a year ownership with lots of interesting tidbits important to me. It's not exactly pocket change to buy one of these but like you said, to buy something else equivalent the price point would be the amount of taxes on anything else like it on the planet. Lot to love about that.

You are soooo right on all fronts… I have a 2020 C8 with 10750 smiling 🙂 miles… I still get giddy every time I drive it😎🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🙏🏻

I’ve owned my 2021 HTC Z51 1Lt for 6 months I’ve got 2200 miles on it. It’s Fing BADD ASS. Now I may be bias because I’ve owned 8 Corvettes and I still own 4 but this car is awesome. Now I paid a lot for it but I didn’t have to wait a year to get it. I have no complaints. For me you can’t beat the performance for value aspect of the car and the Z06 will only be better. Zora Duntov would be proud.

love videos like this. I hope to be able to afford a c8 in the (hopefully) near future but I obviously don't know if it will be possible for me. Anyways videos like this always motivate me to do whatever I can to get the car that I really want. Great video!

Good video beautiful Vette.....but if the car was mine, and I shot this video, I would have detailed the B-Jesus out of it first...lol. Still so happy you are enjoying it as much as you do. Glad to see, no buyer's remorse. There is nothing like the pride of ownership.

Great video, I love your attitude and enthusiasm. That’s one beautiful car you have there. I myself never thought I could afford a car like this, but with hard work a lot of hard work and good planning I’m now in a position to afford a car like this my car should be coming in 6 to 8 months. I’m excited and very thankful and very blessed. Good job.

Great review! I appreciate the ownership experience you shared. I'm looking at new C8s and your review really helps--thanks!

I agree. C8 needed vertical doors. Got rid of my C7 Grand Sport Z07 and got a Lotus Elise. It’s not practical, quiet inside, or technologically advanced, but it drives like nothing else. It’s all about you the driver controlling the car and not the car doing the thinking.

time flies, so glad to hear you're having fun!

Thanks great share agree it’s definitely a statement car something to appreciate every day Great Blessing Congrats

11/11/2021 Just got a call from my salesman. He just submitted my Workbench Order to get my 2022 C8 2LT, Z51, Red Mist HTC build into the system. Will have Jet Black Napa interior, Front Lift, Mag Ride, Battery Protection and due to a constraint on Splash Guards that would hold up the build, I told him to remove that LPO item as I can get them later through the dealerships or Chevy parts. Now the waiting begins.

Loved what you said @ 10:50 Very true!!

Great video! I am waiting for my smart active Victor racing wing so grateful too for these riches we all have!

Badass c8! I love the color, i hope to get one soon

Awesome review. Thanks for sharing

Amazing Video!! 👏

Just got me 1a week ago and a day... man coming from the bottom to the top brother.

Great video! you are really down to earth guy and it is refreshing to see. The best color ever ! I have it and the best add last year was installing Victor racing active wing!

happy for u brodie!!

I left a deposit for a base C8 last month at my local dealer for MSRP. It will take roughly 1.5 years before it’s my turn to configure the car and place an order.

I'll wait another 4 to 5 years before I even consider a c8. GM quality is not the best especially for new generations. And many high mileage issues have not been found yet.

I've only had my new C8 a month and i feel exactly like you do about it so far!!Great review👍🏼

I came across on of these for the 1st time today in Queensland Australia, and wanted to see how quick they are, i was ultra disappointed when my 24 year old GC8 left it for dead… yes i have done some work to my car, but the guy was revving at the lights and i thought maybe i would keep up in 1st and 2nd… it was really loud, and i was shocked as my old little car walked away in 3rd and after a roll race from 80kph again, my little old car walked away… the thing looked like it would eat lambos for brekkie but just didn’t go like i thought.. i bet though, if he put the same dollars into it as i did to my little old car, he would have left me for dead. Just looking at clips to see what these things are, thanks for the upload

Where can I get the oak leaf in the frunk? When I get my C8 I want that leaf! It's like we need more cowbell !

on the waitlist for one. meanwhile i love watching your videos

Woohoo c8 anniversary! Hope you got it a nice gift even if you plan to break up with it soon.

My sentiments exactly!

very good video. you did not ramble....but gave an interesting story line and shot framing. well done.

I understand, best car I have

Another great video buddy!

That is one really nice supercar

Hey nice car! But drive it more in the coming year like maybe 10-15,000 miles so you can say it’s RELIABLE AFTER REGULAR USE. More use will reveal quality issues … if any. Red is the best color.

Coming into this one very late...but it needs to be reiterated not to buy on the lot...you will pay 20-30k over MSRP order your vette the way you want it it and pay that price not a penny more...if they won't take the order go elsewhere ...never pay more than MSRP

Amen. Peace be with you.

To think some people pay more for pickup trucks

Hi. Great video. I have that exact car, but convertible. Agree with the front plate. I am required to have the front plate where I live, but have never installed. I am factoring in 2 tickets per year, but none as of yet. Interesting comment on the front mesh. I need to look at mine. I just had a service warning to service the autolift system. Apparently the cap is an issue, but no big deal. Overall, I get the same feeling as the author. I also have the same issue going to the grocery store. Not sure what is up with that. Take Care.

Can’t wait to get my own C8

I'm so sorry to hear he doesn't like his car. 😁

Good things happen to good people

6:41 +1 for the Home Depot receipts stuffed in the center console

amazing vid im from europe but im gonna have this one day!

Nice review

Awesome video

A red engine cover would be a nice accent for your engine bay.

So I just have a quick 3 questions and I was just wondering does does the engine itself get dirty with water and is it easy to clean the engine bay, and lastly what parts should I pay the most attention to in cleaning the engine bay?

As an upholster get some slipon covers to protect the seats

In a year or two I will look for a nice used C8 and see if it makes me a giddy as my used 2013 Fiat Abarth ;+)

Nice review and congratulations. My dealer told me that if I install the front screens for the radiators, that they restrict air flow to the radiators therefore voiding the warranty. Your thoughts.

8:25 : so did you get the phone numbers? 😂

Crazy its been 1 year already

nice video buddy

GM says u can fit golf bags in there. Can u? Looks tight for that

8:20 Best 1yr review of the Best Corvette yet 💰💰💰

How do you like that natural color interior ??? Im torn between red and natural color interior. Does it look a bit old man color to you ??? Or Ferrari like ?

I’ve been hearing about issues with the new dual clutch transmission. Any insight on that?

no oil change?

Does this have the Z51pkg? Would you be kind enough to share how it is optioned out? Thanks

Pretty good car, almost as good as the v8 Camaro with a manual granny

Thanks vette guy

What does he o for a living?

Dudes had his license for like a year..."one of my best years driving" 🤣🤣

Where did you buy your radiator guards(mesh)? Thank you

YOU ACTUALLY ORDERED IT RED WITH BANNA TAN AND BLACK INTERIOR?

You have a link for the mesh for front vents . How much? Thanks

All these Corvettes have transmission problems. I need to know I want to purchase one, but I think I will buy the dark horse instead.

Are those stock wheels?

Show C7 Z51s

In the near future when you park it next to a 2023 Zo6 you'll probably decide you should have waited especially when you lose 35k in depreciation.

how much did it set u back outta door?

WOW...YOU REALLY DID THE REV IN A TUNNEL DOUCHE SIGNATURE MOVE? LOL.

👍

Its like a la ferrari had a baby with Lamborghini gallardo...Why spend millions designing cars when you can just steal italian designs .....Saying that I would not kick it out of bed for eating chips !

not too many work hard for a corvette.

You’ve put only 6,000 miles on it so simply not enough mileage and only a year so not enough time for a meaningful review on quality and reliability. You need more driving time and miles to make a serious review on all,these quality issues. But it does look great as it’s still a NEW lightly used car. Put another 20,,000 miles on it and see how it works out.

Wow do you ever come up for air when your talking 😂

Gave up trying to watch. Did he ever get to the point?

AnothER.

🙄 So....what does this so-called hard worker do for a living?? Asking for a friend.
