I took delivery of my C8 Z51 in December 2020 and have driven over 54,000 miles, including 70+ HPDE track days (Sebring, Watkins Glen, Road America, Mid-Ohio, NCM). The only modification is Giro-Disc rotors with stainless steel brake lines. The C8 is magnificent, a true pleasure to drive in all weather (including several inches of snow with all season tires on an extra set of wheels). Exceptional reliability with very good gas mileage (21mpg normal driving, 25-27mpg highway, once obtaining over 30mpg for 50+ miles). To sum up, I LOVE THIS F*****G CAR!!
I've never liked Corvettes, until the C8. Everything I've seen, everything you've shown and said, proves it is a super star.
Our 2023 3Lt HTC non-Z51 with performance exhaust, front lift, low spoiler and front lift is the best car this 75 yo has ever driven, we love it.
I have had 11 Corvettes from C1 to C8 HTC and I agree the C8 Corvette is the best ever made.
Thanks for the review. I bought a '23 HTC Elkhart blue with black top Z51 last summer. Other than a dead battery after two weeks the car has been a joy, and I am still suprised about the amount of praise it draws in traffic. After storing it for the winter I was very happy to be back in the saddle.
I have a 22 c8 8k miles on it and still am amazed at the gas mileage highway and street it gets as a daily driver with all the horses sitting right in your back ready to go at any given time Gm nailed it and it’s only going to get better
I just garaged my brand new 2024 HTC Z51 after putting 280 miles on the clock since delivery most of the miles were commuting in heavy rain below 2000 rpm and it did great so far. The sun came out and I got out my 964 for a drive (I committed to myself I would sell when the Stingray was delivered) and it is hard to imagine two cars more different. After that I wanted to keep both but your video help me remember why I bought the Stingray; daily driving a Porsche is great but good maintenance and parts are expensive and reliability is a total crapshoot. I considered a new 911 that theoretically shouldn't have been too much more than my 100K+ Stingray build but I concluded the cost per mile for a daily driver would be too high, plus the Chevy salesman called me back while the Porsche dealer apparently expected me to keep showing up to beg to order a 911 for MSRP++, if you are lucky enough to get on their order book. I love Porsches but I'm afraid their contrived scarcity sales strategy is killing the golden goose.
Every time I drive my corvette it’s a thrill. Amazing car.
Absolutely love my ‘24 C8
I have a 2024 Corvette C8 convertible. Love it!
Love my 23 C8. It made me run to the dealership to get one. I can’t afford a European supercar, but I can afford one of these and arguably still be on par or better than some of the best supercars from the past 10yrs.
I waited 1 1/2 years to get my 2020 C8 and I'm completely satisfied, nothing but miles of smiles. My 5th Corvette and the Best By Far 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can’t believe how well Chevrolet did with this car.
I've had my '23 Z51 for a year this month. Had a '19 Grand Sport before it, a '13 GS before that, a '99 Z51 6 speed convertible before that, and a '97 C5, all bought either new or almost new. With each new generation, came amazing improvements over the prior. But with the new mid-engine C8, it was an astronomical leap, in virtually every way. The C8 is the easiest car to drive fast that I've ever driven. Of course, it helped that I took advantage of the Corvette Performance Driving course that is offered to new Corvette owners, which I highly recommend. It gave me the opportunity to test much more of the C8's capabilities than I ever would be able to do living in Hawaii. And being an avid golfer, the fact that I can fit my clubs in the trunk and still stash a bag the size of a carry on is a huge bonus. That being said, despite what GM says about being able to fit two full sets of clubs, I had to buy a smaller golf bag to fit well enough to squeeze another smaller golf bag in, unlike my C7, C6, or C5's. They could easily fit 2 good size bags, but they didn't have the frunk. All in, I am extremely happy with my C8. I ordered it very well optioned, and it came in around $98k - out the door including taxes. A lot of money, but you get a lot of car for the $. True supercar looks and performance, at a fraction of the cost all around, including initial cost, maintenance and repair costs, fuel costs, and especially insurance costs.
Funny story, but I’ve never been a fan of the Corvette this past winter while snow birding in Naples Florida. I took my Rolls Royce in to get detailed. I walked up the block to enterprise Rent-A-Car and rented a brand new 2025 red on natural beige Corvette stingray I kept the car for 15 days. That’s how much I enjoyed it and I plan on ordering one in the spring in the same color. Kudos to Chevrolet for doing an outstanding job with this vehicle. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supercar under 100k
My wife & I just bought a beautiful 2021 C8 Stingray, red mist, base LT1. It only had 1,200 miles, Certified Pre-Owned, warrantees, yada... I love this car! As a sports touring car, it constantly amazes me. Hyper performance, beautiful & stylish supercar looks, and a grin that scares my wife! Buy one!
Every time I'm on the track with the Stingray I find myself saying, "I can't believe how fast this is for the price I paid". On the street it's a bit frustrating because you're never remotely close to its limits. Chevy/GM really knocked it out of the park with this car.
I have a(murdered out) 2023 HTC/Z51-AMAZING!Best car I have ever owned.4th vette (1993,1994,2019 7speed manual).I do not care what the value or depreciation is.I am keeping this baby.
I sold a Testarossa, my third Ferrari and bought my 24 C8 2LT. This car drives like a million dollars and does everything well. Only complaint is the square steering wheel. I love it!
