Welcome to the channel! I'm Alanis King, an automotive and motorsport writer, presenter, and podcaster. I'm also uploading on KZfaq now. My husband and I recently took a C8 Chevy Corvette on a road trip to @chilis (not sponsored, just beloved), then to review a C7 ZR1 for @carsandbids. It was a great time, and we wanted to take you along for the ride.

I love both of these cars. They turn heads - the ZR1 because it’s so extreme and the C8 Stingray because it has the mid-engine layout - and it’s really a matter of your preferences and budget. The C8 is more plush and laid back (but still fast!), while the ZR1 exists to be harsh and intense. The C8 also starts at $68,000 still, while the ZR1 is deep into six-figure territory. I’ll also have a detailed review of the ZR1 coming soon to Cars & Bids! I think if I had the budget for both of them, I’d go with a manual ZR1 just because it’s more my personality. What do y’all think?

Great video! Agree with this for sure. But - why doesn’t the c7 stingray get more love? Everyone loves the c8, c6 z06, and c7 zr1. I just think the c7 stingray is criminally underrated! Almost as much power as c6 z06, sharper handling, way better interior, such a thrill an a NA v8! I’d love to own any of these one day but don’t get why the c7 stingray is so overlooked!

Enjoyed the video. Twitter comes to life. I love my C8, those light colored seats though, no go. I had one car with a light colored interior, never again, it gets dirty by just looking at it. I went with the Superman vibe, Elkhart Lake blue with bright red seats, everything else on the interior is black.

Truth be told, given your recent appearances on Doug DeMuro’s channel, I’m quite surprised you only have so many vids much less attention. But so far so good! Guess you do/did whatever Doug did before he hit the big time on YT… still solid content… Wonder if I should’ve researched C5 or C6 corvettes when inbetween cars due to a recent insurance matter instead of getting another Skyactiv era Mazda 6… to which car wise is moreso an “all of the above” kinda car… it has solid comfort and a slight lofty vibe comparable to turn of the century full size GM cars, but handles quite nicely on backroads if the suspension is up-to-date (and even if not, one can still drive that thing BALLS DEEP into switchbacks while still maintaining the speed limit far above the yellow advisory speed signs), and some small but noticeable creature comforts comparable to German luxury brands particularly the knob controlling the infotainment screen as opposed to a touchscreen where one’a fast food grease covered fingers could more quickly dirty it up than a knob and a few buttons.

I've only driven the C7 stingray on a track but it's so damn comfy. It's so smooth, but the party piece is the throttle and the noise! It's a fansastic Grand Tourer all day long. I'm not sure about the C8 - so much bodywork going on.
