Can u sell me a c7

[@pontiacGXPfan]

C7 wins in my eyes 1. It has a manual 2. It looks better 3. It has a real trunk 4. It does NOT look like a gamer designed it

[@veronicalake4140]

Nuhhhh

[@aircraftsandtrains2309]

yuck a manual. i drove it omce and never again.

[@klaw0243]

C7 is one of the most beautiful cars

[@EnergyUp]

Absotruthly!!!

[@craigscott5661]

I need both. I got a C7 Z06 and I’m waiting for the C8 Z06. You can’t ever have too many Corvettes.

[@georgestephens8840]

Your driving impressions are very valid. I traded my c7 for the c8 and i feel the same way. At times i regret trading for sure

[@tmo2798]

C7 MANual. you wuss...

[@Lutestick]

That's why I'm keeping both when I get the c8 eventually. The c7 is my wife every other car is the side chick lol

[@davidlepoidevin4239]

I traded my c7 for my c8. Love the c8 but miss the manual c7. Just bought a 2017 c7 - it has soul!

[@albertramos6502]

This makes my decision so much easier. Gonna stick with the c7. Ur the man!

[@Iwo26]

This one is easy. I got 2019 Grand Sport Manual. No regrets whatsoever. Smile guaranteed every time you drive it.

[@SupremeJ]

not gonna lie, this makes me lean towards the c7 more. a c8 is beautiful and defeintly breaks more necks, but the same can be achieved with a c7 if you have the right color and right exterior parts. the challenge will be to fine a very low miles one when I can afford one. hopefully in a year form now lol

[@lazymarine4890]

Easy answer is a C6. Round beautiful lines, 430hp, light weight, affordable.

[@Auldus]

I would never trade my 7 speed C7. It has just aged so well. So fun to drive and still looks so damn good.

[@alexandercrush]

That back of the C8 looks weird. Front and side look amazing though.

[@zijunx1595]

They do it on purpose to make people by e-ray and Z06.

[@johnpearce5693]

I think it's amazing to see the different opinions for these 2 cars. I feel like everyone loves one a lot more than the other. See I like exotic cars and I think the c8 is perfect. I think the C7 does a great job at being a muscle car but it just doesn't call to me the same way a 65 Corvette does.

[@Toycoma]

C7 are the last of the real corvettes. I'll never probably be able to get either sssoooo my opinion doesn't mean much but that's still my opinion.

[@_yoitsjuan_]

Everyone’s opinion matters bro , you can get it just hustle hard !

[@alexandercrush]

They should have continued the C7 design option as well as the C8 but with limited C7 design with the updated interior.

[@christopherrogen5904]

[@gustavojauregui-perez164]

Excellent video, the c8 feels heavier and softer. The c7 feels funner and more dangerous in the turns. Definitely more raw

[@alexishenderson9052]

OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@crimsonking8746]

The C8 is designed to service the engine from the bottom. With any major repairs it is set up to drop the engine out with the rear suspension...😉👍

[@jonahcameron9160]

Love the intro big homie!

[@joebowers3060]

Dec. 2022. You’re review of both cars is pretty accurate even 2 years later. For me, I wanted a more raw and connected driving experience. I wanted a manual trans. I wanted more storage space (and ever so slightly cabin space for me). Additionally, I don’t like the cabin controls of the C8 all in row. Awkward design IMO. Last, look at the price. I was able to get a 2015 C7 Z06 Z07 3LZ M7 with 9700 original miles for $3k less than a brand new 2022 C8 Stingray. Then price out the new C8 Z06. $50k above what I paid ASSUMING you can even get one in 4-6 months. Thanks, but no thanks. The C7 is now in my garage and I couldn’t be happier!!

[@sokool86]

Holy shit ! Five minutes and I stuck a fork in my eye!

[@lesliereissner4711]

I enjoyed this video very much. I currently own a C6 and will be in the market for another Corvette in a few years--a lightly used one as so many Corvette owners don't seem to use them much! Anyway, although I really like the C7 it is an evolutionary change from my car whereas the C8 is a huge advance. I use my car primarily for long trips so the only reservation I have is about luggage space but all cars are a compromise to some extent.

[@snvffxxx]

C7 is a GT, C8 is a supercar. it's really up to taste and needs, i do not think it is actually a replacment for the C7, (like the C7 was for the C6) it is a totally different car. 2 totally different driving style experience.

[@hpickettz34]

So c8 is a super car because the engine is in the rear, plus it's a heavier car? Is Cayman a super car also, because its mid engine also, that includes a lotus and Alpha Romeo 4c, is a Ferrari a gt car and not a super car with a v12 with 731hp and weights the same.

[@plcc07777]

C7 ZR1 is my dream car

[@terryrutherford2114]

May 2023 I bought a C7 Z06, 3LZ, convertible, in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. As great as the C8 and C8 Z06 are, I still prefer the looks of the C7. Tons of torque, the traction control really can't help much. Haha! Thanks for the video!

[@jamesoakes4869]

I’m new. Great video

[@Redliner]

Thanks James! Welcome to the family!

[@johnpearce5693]

Basic takeaway. C7 for the classic muscle car guy. C8 for if you want an exotic car. Ive had the honor to drive both and I confirm. It's fun to see the nose of the C7 lift up to the sky when you hit the pedal. But the c8 feels like a prestigious car like a McLaren or Ferrari, but it also feels like it could tear up the track or the mountains of Tennessee.

[@johnnyonthespot2498]

to me the c7 is the winner , the only way I would like the c8 if its AWD but as far as I know its not

[@lancesingleton3700]

It is now the eray is awd

[@chrisb_71]

To me it all boils down to personal style preference between the 2 generations. So for myself that means the C7 but in Z06 trim. I'll admit though, the Z06 and E-Ray C8's are both stunning and the true exotic experience in that generation.

[@dagostinoification]

MAGNIFIQUE ! ! ! THANK YOU ! (of France )

[@finler1]

I like the sound of the C7 better than the C8. Both are great cars. C8 is more of a head turner than C7. Manual trans only in the C7 model. Higher performance in C8. I give the node to the C7 but that's because I'm a little bias. Can't go wrong with either one.

[@cliftonhammock1152]

I have also put a flat screen tv in my C7 trunk...On road trips I can take plenty of stuff easily with no problem...that's an advantage that's important to me...

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Never buy a first year of a new generation as they have bugs to work out and recalls which has been the case for the 2020 C8.

[@Dan-cj9yg]

To me, only thing the C8 has going for it is its 0-60 time and the shorter front end making it easier to park. Also, I still don't understand the appeal of manuals, especially in the modern era. They're slower and have a lower resale value. They also give you a chore. If you're driving fast and weaving in and out of traffic or on a track, why do you even want to worry about having to shift constantly? It's like someone saying they'd rather handwash their clothes instead of using a washing machine because it gives them more control. Guess what...your control is not better than a modern machines control.

[@EJleon96]

Lol washing clothes is not a good analogy AT ALL… nobody washes clothes for fun. A manual transmission makes you more connected to the car, it’s a more satisfying feeling when you’re shifting smoothly and quickly and rev matching whenever you downshift. It’s an art that requires skill and mastering, it’s like bowling without the bumpers, flying a plane without autopilot. Yes it’s the slower transmission but it’s also the more reliable one

[@bjandsonbiz]

What year is your c7?

[@Sick_ridz]

I feel like C8s would get got hot in the rear trunk area. It that true? I have c7 z51 and love but all your points are valid. I really want to drive a c8 for the experience but was just curious about that

[@davidlepoidevin4239]

Yes the rear C8 gets very warm! I’ve cream in the fronk!

[@AB-coyote]

How is the idle quality of the C7’s you’ve had? I just bought a 2017 C7. It has 32,000 miles on it. Car runs well but at a stoplight the idle seems really rough to the point where the vibes are strong in the seat. Some are saying these cars have a “ big “ cam stock.

[@M4carbine97boy]

Normal from my understanding. My c7 rocks at idle as well

[@davidlepoidevin4239]

C7 much rougher at idle

[@okaythen001]

[@ken3923]

Good information but they're different cars it's like asking a person who likes apples and likes plums which do you want. I have had 12 new Corvettes currently driving a 16 ZO6 convertible I have the C8 on order hoping it comes soon and as soon as the C8 ZO6 is available I'll get one of those

I'll keep my C-7 Corvette Stingray Z51 with a manual transmission. It definitely looks better then The C-8.

[@jaredbrown9796]

Keeping the c7 though

[@iiCounted-op5jx]

I would rather buy the c7 because 1. the c8 is way more expensive 2. I hate that square shape steering wheel on the c8 3. the c8 seems to be very small and closed in when u get inside 4. the c8 interior and exterior looks nice but a bit too "perfect" that it seems kinda overwhelming lol 5. the c7 looks much more spacious inside 6. the c7 is a bit cheaper 7. the c7 interior and exterior both look beautiful and not too "perfect" or overwhelming

[@zijunx1595]

C7 interior is kind of outdated, not even as cool as Camaro's. But I think that's the only losing point when comparing with a C8. The C8 Z06's engine is cool, but the mark up is kind of crazy.

[@jamesflames9930]

Just my opinion but i prefer the c7 to me the Corvette has always had its own distinctive look compared to other sport cars also Porsche is a example too. But the c8 looks like it ripped off lamborgihni it looks to simular to a saleen s7 the new nsx lambo & ferrari it just lost its distinctive vette sport apperance that always seperated it from others.

[@captainflappinjacks597]

If I had a C8, I would be looking to upgrade to the C7. Engine in the front, actually has a whole trunk, 50/50 weight distribution, manual transmission. There's no contest. And it looks so much better than the C8.

[@reborn9110]

[@darrenbuttery3527]

I might be in the minority, but I like the C7 looks better. For me it's a no brainer, C7 with manual transmission for the win.

[@ToxicWeeb01]

Is it just me, or does the C8 sound like it idles at a higher rpm 🤔

[@Shadowwind4]

C8 is more luxurious, people gonna think you’re in a McLaren C7 is a more traditional corvette, a refined culmination of all the best parts of the previous corvette generations.

Those cars are nice but that other human you have is the real prize
