2024 E-Ray 1,500 Miles later & WHY I still DON'T want a Z06!

[@ajitnatt8323]

I got to have that z06 engine and sound all day long.

[@howardchen3456]

The sound of the engine is one of the biggest selling points of my z06. It’s a big deal to not have that. Trivializing the loss of the engine sound would be like someone saying you may as well get a Tesla plaid and say it destroys an eray but you just lose the engine sound. A plaid destroys an eray up to its limited top speed. Traps at over 150mph and mid 9s repeatedly with the ability to haul the whole family. The experience is completely different. My perfect garage has a z06, plaid, and sienna platinum.

[@kaylak1275]

Z is also quicker & better handling. Overall the more superior sports car but the eray is a great runner up.

[@ratuldeoun7228]

​@@kaylak1275E-Ray makes the extra power from an electric motor. The Z makes its power from twin turbos which is already better for most Corvette fans. 😅

Well said, I loved my Z06 just placed order for a 2025 Z. Have an E ray in my family, cool car but just doesn’t make the cut for me. To me the Z is a better car and I believe it will hold the value better down the road.

Yes, E-Ray definitely the one for me, to replace the Stingray some day. But honestly I love my Stingray HTC so much, I don't feel the push to upgrade all that much.

[@matthurleyV12]

I've owned two c8 zo6's (one non zo7 and one zo7) and now I own an Eray. The zo6 is a phenomenal car but I like my Eray more than the zo6. Eray power and instant TQ is amazing, the AWD is just AWESOME, the EV only modes are nice for leaving the neighborhood, the car as a whole is just a killer package for a c8. I put an AWE track exhaust on mine and the sound is awesome especially between shifts. If I want an exotic sound I just drive my straight piped Aventador which sounds better than any zo6 in the world.

The Z06 is a show-off car? I got mine because of that amazing engine and the wide body looks. The stingray didn’t interest me at all with the great but not special push-rod engine. This platform deserves the LT6.

[@aaronvector4750]

An Eray ISN'T an upgraded grand sport. It's a different beast completely.

[@RepEvox]

@@mattabell3657 you want to show off your not so special LT6 so yes, it is a show off car. pushrod V8 is better, and the supercharger kits coming out for the ERAY kind of negate any performance disadvantage. Z06 owners are just left with the sound of the Z06 at that point, but subjectively I think a low V8 grumble sounds better than the Z06.

[@billytrujillo8661]

I agree the ERay is an amazing car! I can't get enough of driving mine! We need to get together and drive them. Not very many of us ERay owners around North Texas

[@michaeldodd9302]

After some idiot rear ended my 2022 Z51 HTC and totaled it, I spent about 4 months trying to decide between which model corvette to choose… Stingray, E-Ray, Z06. The first to drop off the list was the Stingray. The only thing I didn’t like about my Stingray was the lack of top end power. In fact I was all set to supercharge it before it was totaled. That left me with the E-Ray or the Z06. At one point I had decided to get the E-Ray, but I just couldn’t stop thinking about how special the Z06 is with that flat plane crank. Ultimately I changed my mind and went with the Z06. I knew there was a chance I may regret buying the E-Ray, but the thought of regretting buying the Z06 never crossed my mind. The Z06 is already a classic. The E-Ray is just the beginning of the new standard of high performance super cars with all wheel drive. Of course this is just my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, the E-Ray is the best and most usable sports car out there. Its value in this sector is unmatched. But I think the Z06 will ultimately retain its value better than the E-Ray. I’m taking delivery of my Z06 in mid October, pending any unforeseen delays.

[@kalvin9861]

It’s helping me, I live in Dallas and would love to meet up and check out your Eray in person!!

[@kalvin9861]

I currently have a C8 Stingray 3lt and want to mod it but then think if I got an Eray and eventually mod it that would end up being more worth it in the long run to mod an Eray vs Stingray.. but have been very apprehensive about the whole ev part of it all but think I’m coming around.

[@kcaviator1]

I agree with the sentiment. I think the Eray is the superior vehicle for those of us looking for the best daily driving experience and road performance. Low end torque combined with all wheel drive? Hell yeah.

[@Sandy-oy2lr]

One of the best points of the Z06? No AFM! I've known at least a couple of people with it where their camshafts were wiped out by 65K-75K miles. It's one big reason I don't want a Stingray. The other is I'm really spoiled by my Tremec TR6060 manual. It's a gem. To me, far more engaging than any automatic. Slower, yeah...but, that's fine with me. There's still nothing like rowing a shifter that's one of the best in the business. Just my 2¢....

Thanks for your honest review/comments on your Eray. I am on an Eray list, in fact, I turned down an allocation last week on a 2025 because I am still not sold on the Eray for me.

[@stevencampos4456]

Awesome video thanks for sharing I made up my mind the second time I heard the C8 Z06 it’s just not for me I never plan to take my next Corvette to the track I’ve owned 7 rear wheel drive sports cars over the past, I’m definitely going AWD the torque numbers are just to low on the Z06 I’m 57 years old & i never cared for the sound of a Crotch rocket/exotic or the sounds of a rice burner & to my ears the Z06 sounds like a mixture of all 3 exhausts combined, my C5 & 2018 ZL1 exhausts are perfect from the factory. The brake dust from the ZL1 & my 2023 Sierra AT4X are terrible so ceramic brakes will be welcomed plus I’m planning to wait till 2028 or whichever is the last model year production of the C8 to get my ERAY so no hurry

[@Texas_Clay]

Mike I had my name on both a list for the eray and the Z06. I decided to go with first available which turned out to be the Z06. I am glad i got the Z06 and I counter that I would not buy an Eray for these reasons 1 reliability of eray electric motor is unknown 2. I love the sound and feel of driving the Z06 3. I love the look of the Z06 Aero, which is not available on the eray 4. I don’t care for the awkward appearance of the radiator/ heat exchanger in the eray front. The one that cools the electric motor 5. The Z06 name tag “moniker” gets better street credit than Eray. Not to mention the associated logos that embellish the car 6. The four center exhaust of the Z06 is much better looking (IMHO) than the SR style exhaust 7 the Z06 does not have AFM. 8. I am no doubt bias, because I own a Z06. It would be natural for you too to have a bias. In the end, Happy for you and I am glad the Eray exists. It certainly appeals to a niche group of people. Cheers

[@evangrimmett9327]

I was interested in both E-Ray and Z06, and was fortunate enough to get the Z06. But even having and loving the Z06, I still tell people that the E-Ray would probably be the better car for most people. The Z06 is an "event" car, as in it's an event every single time you drive it, which is fine for a weekend car or track car, but isn't as good if you want to use it more frequently. The Z06 is STIFF, and it is LOUD all the time. Even in it's softest/quietest setting (Tour), it's way louder and stiffer than either a Z51 Stingray or an E-Ray. I'm absolutely happy that I was able to get one, but I really do think for a street car, the E-Ray is probably the better option.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

@@evangrimmett9327 You are correct about everything you said. Thank you for your comment. 😊💪

Totally agree with your assessment - I am lucky to be on a list for the car at some point and have experienced the Z51 at RF. Definitely the way to move this car to another level.

[@edjenks60]

Great video, you support what I've thought from the day the E-ray was announced, It's the best of the C8 line. My TPW is 8/5. I'm an SCCA road racer and I think when a real race car driver gets to put some laps down in and E-Ray it will outshine the Z06 on a trach too.

[@justwingingit1]

I agree with you 100%!!! The E-Ray is just more user friendly and less tail happy as I’ve seen it do in multiple videos. The ZR1 although epic will be worse especially in the wet. Pro Charger has a kit for the E-Ray that doesn’t require the body to be lifted off for installation if 0-60 in 2.5 and 10.5 in the 1/4 mile isn’t quick enough for you. Corvette C8s new and used are becoming more plentiful so that should help the overall market/price gouging.I’m just weighing the option of buying a couple of cars like a Darkhorse manual and an Audi RS3 instead of one E-Ray. Some cars,especially manual equipped ones are becoming more scarce. I’d like to acquire some before they go the way of the Dodo bird…

If you can have both, that's the way to go. If you can only have 1, idk i will always choose the z06. Idk why but the C8 in general, is a boat. It's huge, wide, and feels big. When you're in a z06, it doesn't feel like that. When you're in an ERAY, yes i've been in one, just never lived with it, just feels like you're in a boat with a V8 lol. I guess i'm biased. Because i bought the z06. I just like to drive. I don't want to cruise.

FYI at the C&D 2024 lighting run the E-Ray did 2:45.9 vs Z06's 2:38.6. yep, 7 seconds. I think that will be closer with a experienced road racer driving and once they figure out how to maximize the EV boost. Like how the F1 drivers use there. Also I think the Super Charger button isn't in the best place. Why isn't it on the steering wheel. Where the Wheel heater is. Who has ever used the "Phone Mute" button. When I get mine brokes in I will but a couple of the fastest SCCA drivers I know to see what it can do.

[@clnance]

The Z06 was on Sport Cup 2s, the Eray was not. That probably accounts for at least 3 seconds. VIR also has long straightaways.......130-150 acceleration is not the Erays strong suite. track with shorter straightaways and equal tires will be a close race

[@brianhmonks]

If I didn’t know any better, I think you really wanted a Z06 but couldn’t get one so you settled for a ERay. There is no comparison between an ERay and a Z06. The Z06 is measurably a better race car. The provenance of a Z06 will long outlast that of an ERay. A Z06 will absolutely maintain its value over an ERay. The sound of a Z06 and its track capability is game over.

[@clnance]

Z06 is a mass produced car......it will depreciate just ike a C7 Z06. Your argument makes not sense....A Z06 would have been easier to come by than a Eray (only 700 produced in 2024 vs over 7000 Z06s). Z06 makes far less HP and torque until 5k RPMs. Eray makes far more torque across the range. Outside of the racetrack, where they cars will be driven 99.9 percent of the time the Eray will be quicker and more exciting to drive. If your tracking your car all the time, get the Z06

[@brianhmonks]

@@clnance they didn’t make nearly 7,000 Z06’s. If you want amazing acceleration get a Tesla Plaid. Blazing acceleration. The desire and collectibility of an ERay will never approach the 670 HP aspirated flat crank engine of a Z06!

Really hard decision...and may I congratulate Chevy for making such a hard decision by having such amazing choices? I want the Z for the exotic sound and my guess is likely a better longer term resale value. I want the Z for the better overall performance at the occasional track day (but fairly unlikely for me). The stock wheels are so much better on the Z as well. I want the eray for the insane torque, better overall street/highway driving speed/comfort, and carbon ceramic brakes coming STANDARD. Lastly, I like the pricing on the eray better -- currently in the GM configurator, the eray is $20k less. Is the eray a better street car? My gut says yes. WIth that said, is the Z a more exciting and visceral overall experience? My gut says yes. Also, will the Z hold it's value better in the long run? Will that $20k in savings get eaten up with higher depreciation on the eray? My gut also tells me yes...and that the Z will be the more sought after car over the years, with that NA flat plane crank masterpiece. TOUGH DECISION!

no E-Rays or EV's of any kind allowed at my local track (NJMP) due to the fire hazard and the related Insurance problem. this leaves the Z06's and Z51's by default.

That cord from the radar detector would drive me bonkers. Can’t that be hot wired?

Z06 all day!

The Z06 sound means nothing to me. I actually prefer 6.2 sound but figure the 5.5 can/would grow on me. I did want the wide body, that was important. I have a C7 GS. But resale is important to me.

Nice ❤

I see folks saying I can't go without the Z06 engine noise. Lets be real your not using that power everyday most of the time it will be parked! I would take the ERay real quick a very nice GT car and the whole body is painted super nasty!

The E-Ray is the more practical sports car, but to say it's better than the Zo6 is false. The Zo6 sounds better and handles better. It is the better sports car...period. Anyone worried about putting the power down in the Z06 can't drive and should go for the all-wheel drive E-Ray. My rear wheel drive Supra makes more HP to the wheels than the Zo6 makes to the crank, and I don't have any problems putting the power down, and I am NOT running slicks. I even take traction control off when my tires have properly heated up. If you are afraid of the Z06 power, you are an inexperienced driver and should go for the E-Ray, especially if you want better MPGs. Now, I would go for the Zora over the ZR1 because putting the power down at triple digits is real, but not for the Z06.

Looks wise, the E is better than the Z06
