Steve, I am sure there is another digit missing in your subscriber count. Clear and concise review of this beast, with a really refreshing method of delivery of your reviews as always, with gorgeous shots of the scenery and the Vette. Regarding the C8; there are surely many lines in the design and can at times be much when looking at pictures, but it truly makes an exotic statement about this super car when you see it in real life.

[@stevehammes]

THANK YOU!!!

[@donteadoss]

As a guy whose mom raced Corvettes in the National Corvette Club and placed every time while even racing pregnant with me, I’ve always been enamored with them since I was a toddler 40 years ago - the evolution of Zora’s long-awaited epiphany coming to fruition is nothing short of amazing. I live a state over from the plant and every single time I see one, I nearly wreck rubbernecking. I’m just so truly *proud* of Chevy for it. 🔥 I’m currently shopping the Trackhawk and Hellcat variants but the Vette now has my attention.

[@stevehammes]

Spot on!!!! Great backstory. Love it.

[@donteadoss]

@@stevehammes Thanks for the great review as always!

[@InvestBetter.]

A masterpiece by GM. Simply the best car they've ever created. Best colors: Rapid Blue (or Miami Blue elsewhere) and Ceramic Grey Metallic That they didn't raise the price $5k or more, which I would've, for 2021, is icing on the cake.

[@stevehammes]

You can tell that they REALLY thought this through!

[@brownwhale5518]

I do like the ceramic grey metallic. Not sure if GM is doing away with the color.

[@MrMustangrick]

@@brownwhale5518 No it is available for 2021. They dropped the dark red (long beach red) and the grey brown color.

[@AMGF815]

When I see comments like this, I have to wonder what age group are the people making those comments in. And the best colors?! Really?! That blue is unexciting for what a bright color should be. This is a stunning blue: www.kamikaze-usa.com/gallery/acura-nsx-blue/ This car is just not sexy. Great pricing and great looking interior (though the interior has already proven to not be as high-quality as suggested, based on some owners complaints). The front shark-look is not very attractive and the rear is just too busy, a mix of various styles, mixed with Camero styling and ultimately pretty ugly.

[@brownwhale5518]

The reason I like the ceramic grey metallic (I’ve never seen a C8 so I’ve never seen a real life example of the color) is because it isn’t (based on what it looks like on my phone/pc) Black or Red or Blue or White or Gray or Silver or Orange or Green or Yellow or Pink or Brown

Great review 👏

[@fortijr]

I picked up my HTC on Monday, loved the manual settings but agreed with your comments on the “docile” nature, until I played with the settings and found 2 that make it super involved in the auto settings. It made a big difference in the fun while in auto. My wife who is usually very critical of passenger interior space loves her cocoon and has only praised the passenger side space. As for your comments on the ride, I opted for the non-z51 as it will not be tracked ( I have a race car) and everything you said on how well I’d rides is also true with the base suspension. This is my first American car, I am a convert from Porsche and BMW, and really impressed with this “base” C8.

[@sheneedsme]

GM just announced that 2/3ds of the buyers have never own a Chevy before and that it is most often cross shopped it with the 911. (I got my C8 convertible on Thanksgiving and I agree with you about the ride quality without mag ride).

Using a rear engine (not mid, because mid implies near 50/50 balance, like the perfect front mid engine C7) like the horribly track-impaired C8’s 63R/37F “undrivable” (Ron Fellows’ word) understeering nightmare, trades handling for slightly better traction that remains radically outclassed by every AWD car.

Great review Steve. Nice to see the corvette getting the rep that it deserves. I'm not sure about the design though. Front looks amazing. Rear 3rd quarter looks bulky and makes the rear wheels look small in proportion. I really hope the fix up the rear since thats what 99% of the people will end up seeing - its just way too busy.

[@stevehammes]

There's a lot going on, I agree with you. BUT, I think it adds to the supercar look. I don't mind it.

[@iowa61]

You're "not sure" about it because it is a design disaster. Pure chaos. No flow. No harmony. No shape.

[@Metam-nl8hv]

I agree on the rear -- One thing that might help is Bigger Tail Lamps -- I think they should take a look at the Lamborghini Tail Lamps for inspiration.. The appearance of Volume on the rear does not seem to balance with the Presence of the front as much as I think it should.

[@ciello___8307]

The outside still looks choppy bulky to me. In a time of koenisegg, Shelby, Bugatti... or even a Tesla, the future smooth beauty isn’t there?! I had a ‘17 Camaro SS, there were aftermarket tail lights I could get for it... & this vett totally copied that design? Not original. Well, still neat to see American Mid engine! ( no Gt doesn’t count, it’s beyond too expensive) Anyway, my Brother bought one and loves it, so to each there own. I’m working for a update design!

Steve, excellent review. I agree with everything that you said except 2 things. 1) This color-Elkhart Lake blue is superior to accelerate Yellow because Blue is MY favorite color. 2) Mag ride is not needed! Liar! Liar! Magride is definitely needed ESPECIALLY for track junkies like myself who will take advantage of the 100x a second input reading suspension. My 16 ATSV Sedan has magnetic ride & its glorious

[@stevehammes]

MRC dampers are the greatest! Don't get me wrong. And if you're going to track it a lot then get 'em. My only point was that the ride quality with this sport suspension is so good...

[@johnmoore3504]

Get the mag-ride - it’s the best feature on my C7 Z51, even off the track being able to soften or stiffen it with a twist of a knob is brilliant.

[@zioo3117]

For me, being able to look at that engine through the window is one of the awesome cool parts of the car. I just really like it. Having initially ordered a convertible that I never received and wanting a coupe rather than the convertible and its extra weight, motors and complexity, etc. all added up to my desire for a C8 Coupe. I live in So.Cal., so I don't have to worry much about rain at all and certainly not sudden showers. With the good weather, I can take the roof off, if I really want to. There is no way that this car is, "too good.? And don't worry about the passenger. If the driver is not careful, the passenger can open the glove box and pull out the chip and the driver will lose his camera and thus not be able to see where he or she's driven. That new red tintcoat means that you must now buy a C8 for your wife or girl friend. Less time for driving and more time for working O.T. Don't worry about being, "age 48, Steve. Mine now has Lambo doors and I can get in and out without any particular problem at all. Extra 3 grand is well-worth it, if you have it in the coin purse. AF

[@chrisnorcross3322]

I think that Eckhart blue could be the color to get. I just wish you could get that track package without that tacky out on spoiler. The car has such beautiful lines without it

[@dansantarsiero1526]

I watched a few videos of how water "runs" into the engine bay via air vents and openings that expel heat on the coupe. I couldn't believe the amount of water spots after it dried. Particularly inside the window cover and the window between the engine and cockpit.. Also, I talked to a coupe owner at Road Atlanta last week and asked him his biggest complaint. His response was, dirty engine bay after a road trip and water spots after a rain or wash. He said cleaning the engine bay or wiping it down after washing isn't fun. I switched my order to a convertible. By eliminating the carbon fiber appearance package and other options related to the engine bay, it almost offsets the extra cost of a vert and I'll always have the total cubic feet available in the rear trunk by not having to stow the removable roof.

[@ashleyalvarez6749]

Steve, just wait till we get our hands on the Z06 with flatplane crank, Z07 package, CF rims & CF brakes! My only issue is Coupe or HTC. Did the back window of the HTC help mitigate the noise from the wind & buffeting? Not having to stow the roof panel is definitely nice & I would use it more than manually removing it. 1 I'm lazy at times or in a hurry. 2 my back issue may play a part. 3 that engine DESERVES TO BE SEEN! such a difficult question to answer.

The new Vette has only one problem, it was designed for short people. (Under 5’8 and under 130 pounds). Mercedes learned along time ago that people of different heights and weights should be accommodated for. I’m 6’3 and 190 lbs and can comfortably fit in the smallest mercedes.

The driver's seat slides so far rearwards that this is a non-issue. Much more legroom than before.

I never understood convertible Corvettes. The regular one comes with a removable top.

[@stevehammes]

Power, baby! ;-)

[@tonymaher999]

But I don't want to get out to remove it, that's why I ordered the hard top convertible-hit that button no matter how many times you want to change your mind, top up-top down? Always ready to take on the look or feel that you want.So cool,easy choice,worth every penny,can't wait!

The convertible allows you to pack 3 carry on suitcases for trips with the top down. The top on the coupe eats the trunk space so you can’t fit any luggage in there. Also there is less wind noise and buffering in the convertible than the coupe with the top off for some reason. Also the convertible comes with a rear window that rolls down so you can hear the engine better. Lastly a lot of couple owners complain about how the engine gets water spots every time it rains or you wash the car which is not a problem in convertible. Lastly you can put the top down while driving or with the key fob which looks cool. If you get in a sudden rain storm the top goes up with the flick of a button. It’s also more unique. Both coupe and convertible are beautiful but I think the convertible with the all black tip looks more exotic.

So that 2.9 0-60 has been a lie lol ppl have been consistently getting 3.7 0-60 still good though.

[@cantho11]

That overgrown grass track you test 0-60 hurt the overall time due to lost traction. Get a better track next time.

I just bought a multi-million dollar facility because my wallet is phat like that.

@@stevehammes you might want to pay extra for lawnmower

[@gudalawrence2028]

Maybe they’ll add another $15 to $20k to this price and give up the ultimate Z06 vette ✌🏾

[@stevehammes]

The Z06 is going to be a beast! Can't wait.
