This is the answer. Keep the V8 and add in some hybrid components to satisfy the government

People have gotten 0-60 in 2.1 seconds on the Eray STOCK! Beast of a machine!

I just love how he goes back through the history of these cars. I’m younger and it’s cool to know about them.

Joe as an owner of ZL1 and I believe you own one too, my allocation came up for the eray over the Z06. That being said I went with the Eray for a few reasons. 1. All wheel drive, 2. V8+ electric motor, 3. Torque, 4. Sleeper on the street, 5. uniqueness. Based on your review I think made the right choice and yes I will be tracking the car!!! If I don’t like it I can always trade for a Z06 right…ha ha 🏎️🙏❤️

On throttle 🔥

I instantly fell in love with that paint color.

This car is awesome. It sounds like a spaceship

Note that Cacti Green is a one year color. It will not be available for 2025 models.

A true Supercar ...."see the USA in your Chevrolet"........the car looks SO good. Thanks Joe. PS: in 2023 Chevy produced 53,785 Corvettes, 2nd highest in Corvette history (1979 was #1) ...2024 should be the record breaker.

The car is a peach. Styling is growing on me. By the way. Don't park your new Vette at Costco unless you like door dings. Those $1.50 Polish Dogs are tasty, but not that tasty. 😋☮️💙

Joe thank you so much for reviewing so many American muscle cars! I love this car❤

People love to hate on this thing just because it’s a hybrid as if hybrid performance cars haven’t already proven to be good. Ex: P1, 918, LaF, NSX, SF90, 296

Wow, I love the combination of the V8 and electric motor sound. Sounds like something out of Transformers.

I am and will always be a Porsche guy, but my God. what a beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL beast!!!!!!,

That color looks awesome!

Joe, you can't hide the fact that you had to drive on a road next to power lines, clearly indicating that this is required for the car to inductively pull electricity from those lines in order to move forward.

Just picked up a brand brand new C8 Corvette three days ago and let me tell you something I fell in love

That's not even a drivers seat, that's a cockpit! looking good Joe!

This is the first car ever, when Joe had that emotional throttles, aww love it!!🤩🤩🤩

I’m a Vette guy and I approve of the Corvette E-Ray!

That last drive b4 you dropped the top made you weak😂 Joe... I felt all of that too😂

E-Ray all the way! Just picked mine up! Love all the low end torque!! I don’t track my Vettes,so on the street,it’s all about the off the line torque!! AMAZING!! And AWD!!! Gitty up! Love it!😎

That color is so clean

OMG! is that electric motor whining? I LOVE THAT!! One of your best and most exciting reviews Joe!

My favorite part is when he’s ringing the car out and you see painted on the road slow… this would be the spec I would look for except the boomerang I want painted body panel and the front end left and I think I’d be quite happy and broke

On throttle! Here we go! Yes Joe I love it!

Amazing looks and performance for the price ! Sounds awesome too ! 👍

How you can really see your serious face on certain cars man. Love the channel

That electric whine on accel is positively EVIL 😈

These wheels have really grown on me. They look great! I didn't like them for awhile.

The eray and Z06 iron out the odd proportions of the stingray with the widebody. It comes in some really good interior and exterior color combos

Great show Joe ! You have the best job ever ! Cheers from Kelowna B.C. Canada 🇨🇦

Always incredible reviews my friend!! Keep up the phenomenal content good sir!! 🙏🏼🚗👍🫶

Yes Joe thank you for showing the c8 corvette. The c8 corvette is my favorite corvette ever. Keep up the good work Joe great content on today review 👍🏾😀

The pilot dash layout is what all cars should have

Man I want one haha. I love the hybrid idea, it's perfect

Hey Joe! I love the AWD NSX/Audi vibes of this Eray! The ZO6 soundtrack is intoxicating from what I understand but it can get squirrelly on you and it’s not as easy as the Eray to consistently put the power down. A couple of Eray side benefits…no gas guzzler tax,carbon ceramic brakes standard,wet weather friendly, ZO6 bodywork/tires(color matched)and there are supercharger/twin turbo kits that are already in the mid 9 second range…on the all season tires!!! My dilemma is…is it worth the price of 3-4 50k vehicles(Type R,BRZ,Darkhorse, Elantra N,etc.). I understand it’s apples and oranges but that’s a lot of vehicles to purchase and drive the wheels off…as opposed to just one.

Wow,Joe I see you enjoyed yourself in the Corvette e ray , I would buy one also maybe in blue with the black contrast top.😊😊😊.

The color is bomb, and the car is a savage. Awesome review crew!!!

Great review Joe and kudos to you camera 🎥 man 🧍‍♂️

Forget Track mode, this goes into Tron mode!

I love every single thing about this vehicle. This vehicle scores 10 out of 10 for me. Hope to order one soon.

What an awesome beast this is, i can't get enough when Joe says "On throttle here we go" keep it coming brother.

Love it dope color reminds me of my 22 tundra trd pro lunar rock color when the sun ☀️ hits that angle

You see what ppl are doing to the E-ray with modifications? 1000hp 😮

Thanks for the additional info!

I said months ago in one of your Camaro reviews that GM should have kept the Camaro alive and put this E-Ray pkge in it with a supercharged LT4 6.2L V8 .

Very smart engineering, Joe. Hybrid performance. Everything is Awesome, My favorite cars are C8 and Mustang. OH my gosh such a nice sound.

My '67 Corvette Stingray Coupe tri-power with lakers and spinners was stolen after only 4 months of ownership. Liberty Mutual sent the insurance check in 2 weeks. I found a Porsche with Italian tags and a metric dash. Never returned to the Bow Tie. Recently sold my 3rd Porsche with 154,000 miles on the odometer. This E-Ray has my attention. I like the hybrid idea and the AWD. Loved your video. Good job.

Freakin' Amazing! Thanks, Joe! If I had the money I would go American! Plus, it would be easier to get it worked on.

This is THE Corvette, in my opinion. The AWD performance, the one of a kind sound coming from the V8 and the electric motor combined, the wide body stance from the Z06... what could be better?!

Joe the sound of the electric battery on acceleration and the LT2 go well together!!! It was a space-age sounding experience!!! Not sure that I want to spend $130K on an Eray after adding options. The catij color was unusual but actually looked good with the black trim. Great video brother!!!! I would definitely not get an NSX nor the 296 GTB. I like the look of the Ferrari but way too expensive!!!! Thanks for educating me on this Corvette. I have a Corvette and have always been a Porsche & Corvette guy. Cheers Joe‼️👍👊💪🇺🇸

23:10 Driving this car will make you feel ten years younger.

Don't Forget The High Air Pressure Stabilizer/Traction System Integrated Into The Strut Mounts,And Or The Renault Fan Car Vacume System Integrated Into The Transmissions Rear Point .... Over All The E-Ray Is Awesome Man!!! LIDAR Computers System STINGRAY Diffuser And Rudder System (Actuated) .

it's a freaking beast

Love this of the cactus 🌵 car...E-RAY is on the way..loving it..C8 is a step away from the Zora 🤔? Thanks Joe and Steven for this exciting segment 😀

One and done color. If you want one you have to order that this week or find one on dealer lots.

Zora would be proud, this C8 E-Ray will never be referred to as "a sheep in wolves clothing."

You’re having too much fun! Great for you, it’s well deserved

This is my favorite Corvette by far! Love the way the black cuts into the main color.

so good! I had to watch the road test 3 times!

Best coupe in its price range

Amazing review Joe.

This is Joe without him consuming 4 cups of joe and doing a car review. Normally when Joe jumps behind the wheel of a sports car, you’re getting an “On throttle” or 2 experience. Thank you relaxed Joe for showing us the “electric” assistance on the 24’ E-Ray.

Hi Joe. Excellent video as always. You’re the very best! How about a next video on the Ferrari SF90 Spider? Full On Throttle would be awesome!

looks SAF it looks more like a Italian super car than a made in USA ngl 💯

I love that color and your reviews are always entertaining! I wish they would take a little inspiration for the wing from like an 1990 NSX. The rear of the C8 just needs to be finished better. I feel like if the fenders formed the wing that it would be the proper look. Or like a Ford GT. Something cool back there.

I actually like the squared exhaust tips but I’ll be losing them soon for an aftermarket upgrade. And by the way, on ‘24 C8s, you can use a little force when closing the frunk (not slamming) and the soft close latch will close it automatically. Almost like the rear hatch but with some umph

This review is top-shelf as always. Absolutely love this car … prefer hybrid over EV most every time & it seems to work really well in this application.

Amazing machine and great review!

imagine stage 2 upgrades to this thing with 1.9 0-60 time specs etc

AWESOME 💯

this color is so beautiful

always love yurr vids Mr. Joe!!!!still loven my 19 Z06 manuel-sebring orange with the carbon fiber package....in all honesty..this is the 1st time I've never seen u ZONK THE _YUP.....DEAD-PEDAL!!!....lol

I know I wouldn't buy it for me but for those who like the C8 this car offers a lot for the money.

It looks awesome. And that mint color is something else, too... 👍👍👍

I fast forward to on thoddle expo every time ! I like Joe's enthusiasm, you can tell he slammed a redbull or monster before this one !

Saw 2 guys in an Eray do a 0to60 in 2.0 on youtube. It is an amazing car, that's for sure. I'm on a list, with my Chevy dealer, for one. The ZR1 will be crazy $$ and the Zora will be even more $$$. AND they 'throw in' the $9,500 Carbon Ceramic Brakes which I think makes the Eray a great purchase.

Just my 2 cents but how cool would it have been if GM had used a lightning bolt on tail of the Stingray logo…😁

I keep saying.. If I was interested in buying a new Corvette this would be the model.

The styling is just amazing

This car is a monster and great video!!!

Great review, interesting way to keep performance while keeping the government happy and no gas guzzler tax. Classy fast looks without looking too boy-Racer . Cool sound I’d have to get a neon blue wrap , underglow and play TRON.😄 That color makes me think of “My doctor says Mylanta.” About time you can see the engine on a convertible. That last design should have never been approved! I’m sure it’s a blast to drive but for that money I’d probably go Lotus Emira or C7 Zo6 . I just like simpler more engaging cars and just gotta have a manual transmission even if it’s slower, it’s more fun!

Maybe Joe, but two words might change that answer to your question: ZR1/ Zora 😏

Joe, you’ve done it again!! 💪🏾

I love your review and the car, Joe. Im a Genex; it will take me at least 15 minutes to get in that car, and Im not sure I can get out of it. 😁

Happy Monday buddy 🎉 Great car 🦾🔥

Yes of course Joe & I might buy this car soon.

Joe do have any thoughts/comments comparing the coupe to the convertible to which one might be the better choice?

That color is NICE ! Looks great with the top down. Stealth mode ? Naaaah Thanks Joe and Steven 🤙🏼

How well does the front and back avoid scraping on speed bumps and sharp angled driveways? I know there’s a nose lift system on this but how effective is it for daily use?

That color is just killing me. Cacti Green? I live in Arizona, and I've never seen a cactus that color! Zonk! Thanks for the video, Joe.

That Cacti green looks a lot better in this video than it does on Chevy's Website.

That color looks amazing and I do like the black accents. No matter what color, I still would rather have the black accents like this one!

There's so much to be said here but I'll just summarize everything into one word ; THANKS!

What is the tallest a driver can be to comfortably fit in a C8 Corvette? I'm 6' 3" - would I fit comfortably?

Mean Machine!

How does the battery charge? always charged with fuel?

A great on-throttle bang for your dollar! Porsche/ferarri and.other cars are higher quality but you will spend a lot more $$$ for that! Not everyone can afford to spend $200K or more on a foreign sports car🎉 Thank you Joe and Steve for the great review of a vette beast!

love the color and the black accents give it pop. The new mustang tail lights look very similar to the tail lights of the C8 Corvette.
