Is the 2020 Chevy C8 Corvette Z51 the GREATEST sports car ever BUILT?

The C8 Corvette is a game changer to the sports car world and Chevrolet is not holding back. Under the engine hatch is a Corvette first mid-mounted 6.2L V8 pumping out 495HP & mated to a Tremec 8-speed DCT. The exterior of the C8 with the Z51 package features special aero pieces including a rear mounted wing. On the inside you will be greeted to the highest level of quality, materials, and finish ever seen in any Corvette. Is the 2020 Chevy C8 Corvette Z51 the GREATEST sports car ever BUILT?

I happened to run into Joe and his lovely wife at his house. He took time out of his busy day to go over this entire car and let me get in and rev it up a few times. Hearing that beast gets your heart pumping!. He explained to me that instead of telling you how many square inches a compartment has-he just says you can put a box of twinkies in there. I thought that was brilliant. His video's are thorough yet to the point and move right along. Hope you get to 1 million subs soon my man.

[@watchreport]

Joe, I loved this review. First off I love hearing you talk about this C8-I could tell you genuinely were having fun. I can’t believe this is only $80,000 as configured. Just think of all the massive $72,000 SUVS you’ve been showing, most filled with lots of plastic on the interior and then think for basically the same price you get this amazing design and engineering. I know, no one cross-shops an SUV and a vette, but you would think this would be well over $100,000. I love everything about it, including that blue color!

[@thillyard1]

I know people say what an awesome value these cars are but with all the options you are well over $80K+. It’s crazy how much cars have gone up in the last 10-15 years. I just cannot imagine spending that much on a Corvette. I paid $47K for an 11 month old used C7 that had 2200 miles, Z51 package, magnetic ride control, black wheels, PDR, manual trans, and the car had almost the full warranty left. I make good money but I can’t imagine having a big car payment. $80K car loan at 60 months and 3.5% is almost $1500 a month not factoring in insurance. Crazy.
