The C8 Corvette is going down in history for many reasons for Chevrolet. One the biggest reasons is how an owner can personalize it many different ways right from the factory. By going 1LT that will allow you to free up money to put towards other things like the Z51 pkg, painted top, and custom wheels. Under the engine hatch is the 6.2L V8 that is pumping out 495HP & mated to an 8-speed DCT.

The C8 is beautiful! Great review, although I think in general there is an awful lot of focus on the Z51 package, and you had no real conversation about the value that the 2LT package offers. IMHO the 2LT package is the sweet spot for this vehicle and a better bargain than the Z51 for those that will not be taking their vehicle to the track! The 2LT includes heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar support and memory package for seat and steering wheel, HUD, PDR, front camera, rearview camera, heated and powered exterior mirrors, universal remote, and upgraded Bose stereo system w/4 extra bose speakers (14 total). The HUD, PDR, and cameras alone are worth the cost, the rest is just icing!

Hi Joe. Well, this upload got my attention. Hmmm, I wonder why?😉 I have to say, I think this was probably the first time I've seen you look soooo relaxed, no, soooo bored in a car when you were "on throttle." 🤣 To me though, it just proves the amazing smoothness, stability, handling and braking of the C8! Well done Joe, well done indeed!👍👍 I love the quality of this upload, the camera quality that is. Super clear and crisp! And last but not least, a pre-congratulations on your reaching the 500k subscriber marK! You're literally knocking on the door with this upload!👍 Watching this upload on the new 2021 C8 Vert is bittersweet for me though. I know I'll never be able to find a dealer with a "legitimate" allocation available and I'm not getting any younger. I had hopes I'd have one last hurrah in my life with being able to order a 2021, in that my very first new, built to my spec Corvette was ordered 50 years ago this Month, almost to the day. It was also because of the Corvette, that a K through 12 classmate and dear friend of mine and myself co-founded my club, which still exists today! But that's a whole other story. In ending, remember my friend. The reward is in the journey and not the destination. And the best is STILL yet to come for you! May you and the whole Raiti family continue to be blessed and surrounded with peace, light and love. Always, Peter.

I am waiting on the ZO6. The problem with the C8 is that it is getting too heavy. The Coupe is ~3600 lbs. The HTC is plus 70 lbs. more. If the ZO6 weighs over 3500 pounds I will pass on it. I have owned 7 Corvettes and currently have one now. I will get the Porsche SPYDER instead. After aftermarket conversions of headers & exhaust and rims I can get the weight down to 3072 pounds and hpw up to 480 which will be awesome on auto-cross. Every drag strip in the country logs 0-60 times and the stock C8 has not been below 3 seconds yet as advertised; more like 3.5 seconds.

@@gordydexter2615not sure but I think having 670HP will make any weight difference problems go away. My C8 HTC Z51 handles unbelievable so I can only imagine how good the Z06 is. And the C8 runs 2.9 0-60 times no problem.

Damn, that's one nice looking C8. The design is growing on me not gonna lie. OverAll, for the money you can't beat the C8. Chevrolet did an exceptionally awesome job with this one! Also, for a base vette, that interior is still friggin impressive. I Can't wait for the ZO6,ZR1 and ZORA models of this vette! As always, great job Joe with great content!

The angles on this car in this video are EXACTLY how the car looks in real life. Some other videos I seen this car the camera makes the car look too "Blocky looking." This car is sleek and sharp looking in real life, and this camera quality actually captured that perfectly.

The 2021 C8 Corvette has THEE BEST convertible system in THE ENTIRE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW! I absolutely LOVE how the convertible system looks! -AND THE CAR STILL LOOKS EXTREMELY COOL AFTER THE ROOF IS UP. Some cars look a little goofy looking with the cloth convertible top. This car looks cool with the roof up, -AND OR RETREACTED.

The power and sound that the GT500 brings to it over the Vette swayed me to go with the GT500 over the Vette and I owned a Camaro 2SS and have 2 other GM cars in the driveway. Vette looks good but too exotic for my taste.

That is one gorgous Corvette. Love the speedster look when the top is down. My own zonks are the covered engine and maybe the highly complex folding top that will be super expensive to fix after warranty runs out. But that is the cost for getting the amazing style. Eli's choice of wheels and color selections really make his car look just perfect. If I could afford one, I'd have one in my garage.
