No gas guzzler tax, carbon ceramic brake included, AWD for cold weather climate, faster quarter mile than Z06, instant torque from push rod engine and electric motor, understated good look. I think there are plenty of reasons to go with E ray over Z06.

I've driven all 3 C8s. This is the most old man cruiser for sure. The regular C8 rides damn near as well as a Cadillac, the Z06 is Porsche-like, stiff as it needs to be but still somehow nice. The E-Ray is inbetween, the acceleration is ridiculous, ride is good, and the AWD is a genuinely different feel in corners. For the price its a steep ask imo.

Bruh.... I understand putting the Z06 in the "S Tier".... but HOW can you place the Stingray in the Same Tier as the E-Ray???? Just because they Share an Engine?

The E-Ray doesn’t really outshine or usurp the Z06, because it’s just so different from the latter. The Z06 potentially being the last production N/A FPC V8 we ever see makes it wholly special, and it’s a proper pure bred race car, per what Misha has spoken about it. The E-Ray is your GT super car of the Corvette pantheon, the car for someone who just wants to chill, but will have more than enough power to smash most other cars on the road. It’s a better NSX, essentially. What GM have done so far is offer considerably different flavors of Corvette for their customers, similar to Porsche in a way. Want a great all around sports car that you can daily? The Stingray is perfect for that. Want a raw, emotional, and unbelievably fast track war machine? Get the Z06. Want more of a luxury grand tourer with gobs of power everywhere? The E-Ray fits the bill. And, I’m sure the ZR1 will be your GT2/GT2 RS of Corvettes, like it’s always been; a brutal powerhouse. It’s an approach that’s working incredibly well for GM so far. If only they could build enough of them!

E-Ray took the Place that the C7 Grand Sport used to take up.... The Engine of the Stingray, but the Body of the Z06!

Hey Miles, I don’t know quite how I’ve been missing you (because I check out just about every c8 corvette channel on KZfaq) but I have to say your communication skills and content are the best I’ve ever run across! Please keep your content coming!!!( … a new subscriber)

Excellent review! Just something to keep in mind about the convertible vs coupe (whether it’s the standard Stingray, Z06, or E-Ray), when you have the roof off in the coupe and store it in the trunk you lose a lot of your trunk space to the roof panel. When the convertible is open and roof is down, you don’t lose that trunk space.

Glad you got to review the E-Ray! You can actually order a clear window engine bay cover from GM now. Love the channel - keep up the great work!

I would drive this, if it ever came to the Netherlands. We have crazy Co2-taxes, so this would make it probably a lot cheaper.

I think I actually like this modern version Batmobile.... it's the best looking of the C8s and with the hard top convertible... Corvette may have created an unexpected hero!

This is the perfect corvette for Canada imo. 🤔

E-Ray comes STANDARD with carbon ceramic brakes. So that might come in as a consideration when comparing pricing to the Z06 (where those are a very costly option).

Well done. After your vid, I am ordering 2025 E-Ray over Z06. I am a daily driver C8 guy. Currently I own a 2021 C8 Z51 now and want more. Both cars (E-Ray & Z06) have "more" but only one is not meant for the track. And that's me. Ive driven on COTA with the current car and - well - that was fun but not me. Rode in a Z06 recently and LOVED it. Somewhat of a remembering of my GT350 ownership except killing it with excel-aeration over the GT350. Not sure about the excel spell check there. Anyhow, thank you for the review. Actually felt you gave a level review and there was no bias. That's why I subscribed.

I love the question on the header. The only thing ruining that e ray is that paint job!

The Eray! Great review of this “decoupled axle” of a vehicle. Two axles speaking to each other by software ONLY. Phenomenal tech! “Podiumed” P2 in FAT International Ice Race in Aspen, Feb 2024. Thanks for posting. I’m new to the channel. Love it! I’ll be back!

the ERAY HAS ALL WEATHER CAPABILITY...you can use it even in the winter...you don't have to moth ball it half of the year!!!

more people should watch your long-form omg.

I genuinely have a question. Has sitting in a rimac nivera ruined or worsened ur experience in sitting in other quick cars

I'll take the eRay any day of the week, and so will most people. The reason is the fun of driving the car is you're getting off the line, and it does it better than a z06. The other side is it rides better than the Z06, which GM even says is made more for a track type of car than a daily driver. ERay brakes are also better.

Hey dude, I think the sound editing on this video was probably little bit under par, maybe bring Ellis or DIY. Everything else is dope though.

Well I'm in Michigan so E-ray sounds like a winner.

The purpose of the E-Ray is a Corvette that can be your year-round daily driver.

6:35 Jeeeeeeeeesus😂😂 That was crazy😂

More longform content FTW! You're my favourite reviewer rn

Wow what a beautiful speck the blue egg or a badge with the blue interior plus the blue stripes just sell it but I think they missed the mark on the exterior color they should have gone with Ceramic matrix Gray metallic. That color has some blue hues to it. Great review 👍

Very possibly the best GT car in the world right now regardless of price. Its still the GTLM mass produced chassis with literally every feature imaginable, and it all works like a Swiss watch. Y chassis cars are technically unbeatable from the time the frame is made. GMs magride in combination with spring rate is all you have to know how to tune these cars. GM is giving so much regardless of price, that its inconceivable the engineering that went into these vehicles.

Excited for all the upcoming videos

Hey Miles, really enjoy your reviews. I'm cross shopping either a new E-Ray or a CPO MC20. Having trouble deciding. What are your thoughts?

Quite intriguing

Between base 911, FBO M4 AWD, stock GTR or this E-Ray, which one is a better pick?

the E-Ray imo is the best looking C8, I'd like to see someone putting the ZR1's engine innit when it gets released, it'll be quite literally an American Koenigsegg type of shi

It’s lighter than the M8, just as nice and is faster/more capable and probably way more reliable.

Good review

As much as I love Corvettes, I'd have to pass on the E- Ray.

Woah, first person to watch. Woohoo! 🎉

Given the price of the Eray, the better deal is a Z06. I was on an Eray list at my dealer until it came out. I was not looking for Z06-like performance, but rather a demonstration of what GM could do with a hybrid Vette (40+ mpg). I am holding out for a C8 Grand Sport to replace my 19 GS.

I am quite confused with your statement and comments of and in this video. The title of the video states the E-Ray a Supercar. However you state you don’t know if it should be a supercar but it has Hypercar performance. Maybe if you defined what a supercar & a hypercar then I would not be confused. Also I don’t understand why yourself and most KZfaqrs in the car space throw out the words “daily driver”. Can you please define that. Is daily driving mean using your vehicle 2 miles a day or 80 miles a day. Then we all can get a better understanding on what you mean by this.

I'd take this over the Z06. I'd almost never go to a track.

Is this considered a supercar?

👀

I thought the electric motor was under the center console.

Did they ruin the c8 excuse the f*** out of me when was the last time you designed a vehicle....ooo um never

There are already cars out there that do the straight line power trick, for a lot of weight. My Tesla model Y performance. But its heavy. Why do we want heavy sports cars again?

The ERay is definitely the most TubeSock New Balance version

It does not look good. Subjective but this gen aged pooly. The rear was always hideous

Cry me a river!
