The Z51 Package looks to be great value, but is it right for you?? Let me know your thoughts below!!

Awesome value. They will sell the heck out of this package. Are 95% likely to use the extra capabilities? No. But the whole car is already well into the realm of the excessive. This is a supercar; guys are going to want it supercar'ed out. I probably would too. (But I think I'd honestly rather a C7 grand sport w/ manual. For now.)

The spoiler steals speed. You get better 0-60, a tenth of a second, but your top speed drops by 10mph.

I bought a C8 HTC Z51 1LT. It’s awesome I’m more of a performance option guy than a luxury option guy. The only thing I miss is not getting the 2LT or 3LT is the heads up display. For me the extra HP and louder exhaust is nice. I drive all my Corvettes aggressively so it’s worth having the Z51. One thing that wasn’t mentioned in the video is resale. From what I learned about the resale of Corvettes, I’ve owned 8, the higher optioned the car is the more it holds it’s value.

Imagine if you could put a cost on each of those items individually. We know the exhaust item is 1195. I think the other 8 items are well worth 3805. Even if you don't track the car the value of the Z51 package speaks for itself.

I'm so excited about the C8 and look forward to your videos to keep me updated and informed so thanks again.

The Z51 package is still the best deal - the elsd make a big difference, without it under hard acceleration the base C7 can get loose in a hurry, mag ride is fantastic to smooth out irritating teeth rattling little imperfections in the road and in doing so makes for less road noise in the cabin and the Z51 corners flatter and you just feel more secure on the road, and in being more stuck to the road cornering response is quicker this is nice on regular roads too not just on the track. It just makes a world of difference in the C7 and I think will do the same in the C8 since it is so much quicker. I don't like the looks of the spoiler but the high wing is over $1000 more and is a rear end tear down at the dealer I can't justify getting the high wing since I've already paid for the other spoiler- I will see what the after market has tow offer. Also the 400lbs of downforce is at 180mph! I will not see that number unless I'm in an airplane 150 is MY top speed what I'd like to know is how much downforce is there at 80 or 90mph

@@Agent77X Where do you live? In real snow country smooth roads everywhere is a Unicorn to the best of my knowledge. Some are smooth but many are not. But if you live where there are good ski areas and smooth roads I might want to move there. But I would still want the MR because even smooth roads like in North Carolina have some bumps everywhere, only brand new roads are velvet, and most roads have expansion strips so when the MR absorbs the bumps tiny and larger they do it so well that there is a lot less cabin noise so you can enjoy that great V8 sound or just talking to your passenger, it's amazing how intrusive the road bump noise is until you experience it not being their/or greatly reduced. The MR smooths those out and the car stays STUCK to the road noticeably better. Jim Mero is GA GA over the MR and says the Z06 and ZR1 would never have done as well without it. Mero now is going around the country reflashing C6s for a fee at big Corvette shows etc. GMs MR is so good that Ferrari not puts it in all their cars. The new MR in the C8 is supposed to be noticeably better as it is the 4 gen and the 2018/19 MR was a lot better than the 2014/15 MR so much so that GM was offering a reflash of the new spec Mero developed (for a fee of course) I just wish the Z51 had a better looking spoiler I really don't need 400lbs of downforce cuz I'm never going 180mph my top speed is 150 and I don't know how much downforce you get at 60-90 mph. I will probably replace it with a nice low spoiler when the after market catches up (depending)

Well the Zora button is a good example. You can have your magnetic suspension set up to your preferences as well as the rest of the car settings and when you hit the Zora button the car tailors itself to you. But l would imagine even without the FE4 suspension the car would handle well. In my opinion Z51is a must have for a sports car enthusiast. Plus the splitter and tasteful rear spoiler and other improvements. The magnetic suspension is not a must have, but works well on the ZL1. On a personal note having specked my car to cost exactly eighty thousand dollars. l would be extremely happy with it at that price point which includes the Z51 package and FE4.

MRC is fantastic. Have it on my truck and it takes potholes and bumps like a champ, also activates when it senses tight turns at high speeds. Struts are expensive to replace but well worth for the extra comfort. Only difference between the truck and sport car ones is the dial in the camaros and vettes leave wthem fully active in sport and track modes.

If you maxed out the options and broke the 100k barrier, this car would still be a bargain. There is nothing like this car in existence for anywhere near this price. I fully expect in the next few weeks to get a full review from the serious reviewers saying there is nothing even close on track and street to this car in this price range. I would put money on this frame design being better than anything in the industry without a carbon tub, and with. Nobody actually paid attention to the presentation. GM came up with a entirely new design process in frame design. People still think that a DOHC engine is better in this application when the car does 3.0 seconds with 500hp. Could anyone imagine what a LT5 would do.

Having the magnetic ride control & ESL make this a decision I can make in about 2 seconds. For the novice driver this car can get you in a world of hurt if you're over aggressive & that ESL can bail you out of some embarrassing & expensive moments. The magnetic ride speaks for itself, as others have posted if Ferrari copied it then you know it's a legit must have.

My 2015 C7 is not a Z51 car and it is spectacular, however I drove a new 3LT Z51 last summer and the steering and suspension was so responsive it was like driving a go cart. I am always a little leery of the tendency of the back end of the C7 to want to come around when subjected to hard driving, so the idea of the best possible suspension under that much horsepower did not seem too silly, so I ordered the Z51.

The bigger brakes and tires on the Z51 can be a big deal as a daily driver especially if you live in deer country and a lot of us do. Stopping several feet shorter can make the difference between hitting something or some idiot who steps out into traffic a big deal or just a kid or a dog. I experience this at least twice a month and because I am always scanning the sides it has been somewhat close a few times a yr but unless you are constanting scanning the sides and most people don't 5 or 10 ft is huge.

I like the C8. Might be able to order one next year for the 2021 model year when they get a few bugs worked out. I kinda want to order a bone stock one just because it's already so nice. The options aren't really worth it to me. Only option I want is the accelerate yellow that's $500 (probably a tough car to find lol). The exhaust, spoiler, and brakes are good but not worth 5k to me.

All season tires might keep you out of a 70 mph hydroplaned spin, the trees come up really fast! For 5 HP just bring lots of cash, mag ride and lift don’t come with the 5k price! The big disks only give up 1/2” additional sweep!

I own the C6 with the Z51 and 6-speed. Love the lower end grunt off the line, but I've never tracked it. Concerning my 2020 C8 purchase... I'd love to get the Z51... but PLEASE, Tadge, let me delete the spoiler from the factory!!!! I'll even pay a hundred bucks to delete it.

I would like to get the Z51 with the mag ride, and electronic diff. Except with the standard gear ratio. The lower gear would be great for drag racing, but i prefer the taller gearing for road racing. It is nice to be able to use first gear more then a few feet!!

I think you can get mag ride without the Z51 package. When I ordered mine the were 2 options mag ride with Z51 and one without. Good video though.

Well. Got my corvette as a "used car" eith 1100 miles on it. Its hard top Convertable with magnaride and sports exhaust. Did not have z51 package. I traded in a 750 ho mustang for this slow car lol. Mostly my concern is adding cooling to the car for track days. Brakes will be taken care of with pads and brake fluid. Mostly interested in seeing if i can add the brake cooling kit to it and an oil and trans cooler. The oil and trans cooler is going to be interesting as i dont even know if you can get those or need to be custom fab

1.) Better cooling might be beneficial if driven in a hot climate like Phoenix, Az., where 110++ degrees is normal for 3+ months of the year. But even if the engine doesn't show at the dash temp gauge as 'over' heating, it will be running hotter than if you lived in say Colorado and other cooler areas. Especially if the engine is required to hump over mountain and high hills. 2.) Don't both issues of the C8 come with equal amounts of brake cooling? 3.) Do - Don't take the Z51 package? It seems to me that when it comes to resale, this package would definitely open more buyers, as some wouldn't consider buying a non Z51 Vette. Finally, I would like to hear a response concerning the upgraded cooling. Thanks
