2024 Corvette E-Ray Full Review!! | Thoughts From A Z06 Owner

[@mikelyon5595]

Never gonna track. The E-Ray is more to my tastes!

[@ronaldhoage7245]

Great review. Realistic and practical as well as factual. As a older 2015 ZO6 owner the E-ray fits better for me. Having been on the list for the new ZO6 for 3 years and not willing to pay $50K over MSRP, I will opt for the E-ray. Hopefully we don't have to go through the same games as waiting for the ZO-6. General Motors and the dealers need to think of the customers first, rather than trying to rape their customers.

[@CorvetteFun]

Thanks for that well-done review, @EddieX. Your comments got me even more excited for my ERay... in Status 3000's at BGA now! Glad you're still enjoying your Z06!

[@GTI_CHHA]

Excellent and enjoyable review! Of course, it helps to own a Z06 as a reference 🙂

[@EddieX]

Glad you liked it! Definitely cool having the perspective from having a Z06

[@_VelociDad]

“It definitely feels heavier….” “Ahh… that’s better!”

[@nolanohana]

It’s a great value in 3 years when it’s worth $85k

[@frankwalko5803]

Awesome Review Ed! Side news, might be finally getting a gt350 soon! Thank you for all your videos that might of helped make my decision :D

[@EddieX]

Ooooh yes. Congrats. You’ll love it!

[@duffydon1741]

Eddie is a breath of fresh air

[@davewilson6018]

Loved your review Eddie! I have watched a few eRay reviews, yours was easily the best.

[@EddieX]

Thank you so much for the kind words!!

[@ddswong]

Eddie....another great review. You are one of a few who are informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you

[@EddieX]

Thanks for the kind words

[@Texas_Clay]

Well done Eddie. I appreciate your style, grammar and vocabulary. Keep up the good work. You just got a new subscriber. Thanks

[@EddieX]

Appreciate it!!

[@instashred]

First review watched on the E-Ray & loved it! Thanks for making it Eddie 🤙

[@brandonharding1199]

I’m getting the vibe from these early reviews that most would still get a Z over an E based on engine sound alone. But I think many buyers, like myself, will be forced to get whichever super Vette is available to them first.

[@Brooks22n]

I’ll go with My Z06 EVERYDAY

[@sharkgrayc7z06corvette9]

It’s clear the Z06 is the better car. Even Tadge kinda hinted at that on Lenos garage

[@AMG-on-2nd]

I haven’t decided on a Corvette yet but if I do choose one, it will be the E-Ray for sure so if fewer buyers want them, I hope to be able to find the one I want sooner rather than later. I have zero interest in having a Z06 as my daily driver, and whatever car I choose next will be my daily driver.

[@dynamicsoulslayer]

This, with the flat plane, turbos, massive aero and we have the ZR1 baby!

[@cflgt500]

Zr1 isn’t hybrid or awd

[@Foregrlz]

ZORA will be THAT machine!!

[@MegaRetr]

Awesome review

[@EddieX]

Thanks!!

[@mariobryant7670]

O yes im sold can you imagine this thing with the new zr1 hood beautiful 😍.

[@EddieX]

The spy shots sure make that car look aggressive!

[@9latinumStudioz]

They came out with that platinum grey huh ✨ with the new green interior 🍀 Widest all season tires from Michellin 🤯 130 carboned out 😎 not bad Gotta get both 👹

[@howarda4242]

I’m with you Eddie ! Keeping my Z06/7.

[@tgchris2222]

The looks of the Stingray to this ERay are pretty close. The question also, since few owners really care about AWD and will put the Car away for winter, is $35-$40k more than a Stingray worth the slight performance and looks you get?

[@u.b.469]

As a Stingray owner myself, that's exactly how I feel. I mean the 0-60 in the stingray is like 2.9 so an extra $40k for .04 secs of performance is not really worth it to me personally. I think the car is really cool though. I would still rather have the Z06 if anything.

[@mattblock6616]

​@@u.b.469there's numbers and there's translation. 0.4 is a noticeable difference on the drag strip, not to mention it will do that way more consistently. And the awd mashes it much more usable on not so great days, with no hit to fuel. And the midrange acceleration is much better

[@shaytrask7538]

YES!!! ELECTRIFY THE Z06 and it’ll be THE PERFECT CAR!!! E-Z06!!! Yes. Please!!!

[@EddieX]

Would you trade yours for that? 👀

[@TheJovan21]

Disagree completely Z06 is meant to be the pure driving machine for enthusiasts who want the soul of diving.

[@TheilliterateLibrarian]

Im sure hes being sarcastic

[@EarthguardSeeker]

That will probably be the ZR1

[@FrankGallagherr]

Not going to happen ZR1 is not a LT6 motor

[@noisyf1]

Another awesome video @eddieX and the Eray looks to be most interesting for street, all weather use!

[@dwightlooi]

Performance aside, I think the Z06 will have much more collectors' value in 20 years than the eRay. That is pure and simple the greatest (and maybe last) of the Internal Combustion V8. The eRay is well, just another car with electric assist that may not be serviceable as the years pile on and parts like the battery and power converter goes out of production and out of stock.

[@Mysterious.phanto]

I see so the z06 is probably a better option for the long run

[@nicnez6]

sounds futuristic

[@TweakRacer]

Need a comparison against the last NSX.

[@red_j_ruff_wood6384]

I’m going to buy an E-Ray and put the No-tune Twin Turbo kit from on it.

[@StupidFastTruck]

Great review! Can auto start/stop be defeated on startup? Even though its just a button push, its annoying. As you probably know rumor is the ZR1 or whatever it will be called will be the FPC V8 with the front motor.

[@EddieX]

Do you mean memory for auto start/stop staying off? Im actually not sure, will check next time I am in one. I dont think my Z06 even has it. I think the current rumor for ZR1 is twin turbo LT6!

[@MegaFranceschini]

I was wondering what will be the price on that PUPPY? Thanks for the video.

[@EddieX]

$104,900 base price! I talk a bit about pricing and value towards the end of the video

[@paulm6481]

Great video and gorgeous car. Love the wheels. And monochromatic paint treatment. Bravo 👏

[@Fleetwoodjohn]

Twist design wheels are not directional?

[@cleverusernamecl5532]

What watch are you wearing? SS Yacht Master?

[@EddieX]

Yep. Slate dial

[@icanbelievemyeyez4653]

[@adamnarbeaux5898]

Excellent information here, Eddie. On the fence on trading my stingray and adding like 50k. Is it worth it??

[@bto7779]

Great review

[@EddieX]

Thanks!!

[@chevyracing1080]

Silly Azn - looks like they they made you have a ride along passenger from GM unlike all other channels I’ve seen.

[@EddieX]

Yeah no…that was @milesperhr

[@lionelpayette4628]

Great video _ Great information.👍

[@EddieX]

thanks!

[@thehalfnavajo]

Gotta get his Z06 upgraded if he wants a very fast car from power to cooling with a lot of other extras including tuning from LMR. They just made a 1200 hp Stage upgrade kit for the Z06, and it turns a Z06 to a supercar. It walked a Hurrican Lambo like a elderly dog with 3 legs.

[@chezikmusic]

How much do we want to bet the ZR1 will be a Z06 motor with hybrid AWD 🎉

[@EddieX]

My guess is TT LT6

[@chezikmusic]

@@EddieX that would be sick too

[@rustkotetotalcare]

Would you trade your zO6 for it?

[@joeg509]

Lol, no chance he would do that!

[@Charlesbjtown]

If you ever want the new vettes to be truly fast...... gonna have to go full BEV. This has been proven with the plaid. Never thought id say this, but electric is king.

[@metallicafan416]

Lithium battery technology will never be king, especially in cold weather areas

[@Charlesbjtown]

@metallicafan416 Who's racing in the winter? Aside from that, what I think is funny is, with an almost dead battery (20% soc), the plaid will STILL outrun this car......handily at that.

[@GadgetyMV]

Not just performance, over in Europe some cities no longer allow driving in all areas unless the car is at least a hybrid.

Chevrolet has made impressive advancements with the C8. Now do something with those shift paddles. They’re horrible, both look and sound.

[@karinbaker6516]

Kind of wishy washy. Start off that it has way more torque than stingray or Z06. By midway he states not enough excitement and talks about the road he chose. If driving the quickest vett out of the box isn't your thing, your just to wrapped up in the sound of your flat plane crank. LOL

[@andrewbradnan]

Z-Ray would be a cool variant.

[@tgchris2222]

It’s the ZR1 or Zora, which are coming next……

[@ue9348]

Very Tron like engine noise.

Didn’t pick up on any of that. Just because he’s in position to drive and own these cars doesn’t justify your comment. Nothing he said reflected being pretentious or entitled.

@tgchris2222 I am entitled to my opinion irrespective of what you "picked up on" and I am not too keen on your pomposity while we're on the subject. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
