My Week with the 2020 Corvette!

I spend a week with the very exciting 2020 Corvette and discuss the new things I noticed after living with one. When I did my first drive of the C8 back in February it left a very good first impression. Now having a chance to spend more time with the new Corvette has reinforced all those original feelings but also exposed some minor imperfections. Overall I still think it's a fantastic budget supercar that punches well beyond its price class and remains one of the best performance bargains on the market today. What do you think of the C8 Corvette? Huge thanks to Chevrolet for providing me with this 2020 Corvette.

[@williamdavidson4576]

And as usual Matt drove it like a true champ. Great vid.

[@MrSlowestD16]

I'm surprised you think it's too low even with the front lift. I borrowed a C8 and I found with the lift I was able to park into my driveway straight perpendicular with no angle and no scraping, but my cayman requires a pretty solid angle, as does most anything else that's "lower" - I think my cayman is even lower than the C8 is when the lift is down. I have an S550 mustang same as you and I'd say with the lift up the C8 is about the same height. So you need foresight if you're pulling into a plaza or wherever, but I'd say it has plenty of clearance when the lift is used. I was thoroughly impressed by how easy it was to drive - that's definitely a car I could daily and I have a pretty low threshold to daily driving "race cars."

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The front lift definitely takes away some of the worry, but it's something you still have to constantly think about. In my Bullitt I almost never have to worry about pulling in somewhere. I think the lower seating position combined with the long dashboard of the C8 just makes it harder to judge things. This did have the front cameras too, but again, just lots of extra steps (turning on cameras, hitting the lift button) and extra caution required, just like all the supercars.

[@MrSlowestD16]

@@MattMaranMotoring Yeah there's definitely more steps and definitely not as easy to drive in terms of clearance as the mustang. But what I was surprised about though is the gap between how easy it is to manage and how hard other "exotics" are. It was like once I hit the lift button I could clear anything I would in my mustang, meanwhile in my cayman I have to take everything at an angle and that's definitely not an exotic. It was just so surprisingly easy to daily that I was really taken back. Between the front lift and that camera mirror I was in heaven.

I have dreamed of getting a Cayman GTS 4.0 ever since I first read about that car last fall, but after seeing all the positive reviews of the C8 Z51 I would seriously consider one of these over the Porsche. Even in the top 3LT trim this car will be at least $30k less than a similarly optioned GTS 4.0 and that alone makes the C8 worth a serious look. Not to mention that the ongoing cost of ownership would be much lower on the C8 as well. The only downside to the C8 is the lack of a manual, but I have a WRX with a manual for when I need a fix. Something to think about...

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Funny you mentioned those two, I gave my friend a ride in the C8 and he has a GTS 4.0 on order. He liked the C8 and was really impressed, but a manual is a must-have for him, so he's definitely keeping his GTS order.

[@MrSlowestD16]

You're misunderstanding the frunk OTA I think. GM was able to find no evidence that the frunk is opening by itself, they did increase the VOLUME of the chime when the frunk is open however, so far they're blaming users on that one and continuing to investigate. What they DID fix though was they decreased the current draw threshold needed to wake the car up from sleep mode, because the internal electronic frunk release wasn't drawing enough current to wake the car up when it was sleeping so as a result the release actuator wouldn't power up and the frunk wouldn't release if you were locked in the frunk for more than 10 minutes after the car was turned off (when it enters sleep).

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The OTA update that was pushed reprogrammed the key fob. Once the update finished it gave me the new instructions for popping the frunk with the key, I think it's now like 1 long press and 2 short ones.

[@MrSlowestD16]

@@MattMaranMotoring Oh, that's cool. Didn't know that was changed. Both of those make sense. But my main point was that the hood automatically opening hasn't been confirmed by GM yet (though they've said they're trying to reproduce it) and this wasn't for that.

It`s a cool car for the money! I just heard that it will not stay in that price range, as at the moment GM is selling it under the price they would need to make a profit. It seems to be that the prices will go up for the base models in the next 2-3 years. A similar strategy they did at Nissan with the GT-R to get a better market introduction. Let`s see what happens.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah, the price will go up, but it seems like very few buyers are going for a base model anyway, at least according to Chevy's initial orders. They gave us a breakdown of how people ordered the cars on the press launch back in February.

[@marcnobel3938]

@@MattMaranMotoring Yes - that is normal. The fans normally buy the best products right from the start. That`s why you have now almost everywhere a kind of "first edition" where they put in all the nice stuff. After a year or two (when first adopters are served) you can see where the average of the sales will go to. In Europe, the Corvette has already a starting price for 2021 of about 100K Euros (120K USD) for the Coupè and 116K (138K USD) Euros for the Convertible. - I guess those are the real prices you can expect later also in North America when they stop Cross-financing the product. Of course a bit cheaper because of the different tax and shipping costs, but around this region.

Plus the safety is better since the LC500 has side curtain airbags. The Corvette is by far the better handling, faster feeling, more exotic experience though.

How would you compare this to the C7Z? Also how does the difference in power between the two feel?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'd say they honestly feel pretty similar power-wise since the Z06 struggled to put power down and the C8 puts all the power down easily. The C8 is just more intense with the experience because there's less drama, it just grips and goes. The C7 Z06 likes to hang the back end out and is more of a muscle car experience in my opinion. They're both a lot of fun, just in very different ways.

[@doublehh666]

I guess that begs the question. This vs the Camaro z 1LE (honestly that name is ridiculous). ? So many professional drivers just seem to love the camaro which has surprised me.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The Camaro is very underrated, fantastic handling car. If you like more power, a higher seating position and/or better safety, the Camaro is a great choice over the Corvette. But the Corvette definitely handles better unless you need the extra grip the 1LE provides.

The new Fiero is nice, but what about the new Corvette :P

[@jonathanwright8802]

did you know they are resurrecting Pontiac just to bring the Fiero back?

[@ARobFpv007]

What about the Recall issues with the Bonnet flying up while driving!

[@ARobFpv007]

I watched the dam video.. The recall on the new Corvette focuses on letting the driver know the hood isn’t latched properly finally!..But.. GM hasn’t covered the costs of any damaged related to the incidents under the vehicle’s warranty at this stage! only directing owners to contact their insurance companies to sought it out..buyer beware.

I rather just a C8 than a C8

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha well played!

[@SonOfTamriel]

Got crushed by a 911 Carerra on Throttle House, that was surprising. What witchcraft is Porsche up too lol

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Well being tens of thousands more expensive certainly helps lol.

[@tacticaltemplar875]

Was it on a track, drag race, or both?

[@Luke-cb3ly]

and it was much faster on the track, so what's the point?

[@Luke-cb3ly]

@@tacticaltemplar875 C8 made a 1: 11.53 lap and Porsche made 1: 12.33 the C8 lost in the 1/4 mile but they don't post the time so we don't know how fast the C8 was. but in the test of the motor trend the carrera S made 11.2 and several people have already made 11.2 with the C8 .. so they are very similar cars, despite the huge difference in price

[@tacticaltemplar875]

@@Luke-cb3ly Thanks for the info. I know this is subjective, but I would say the C8 is the better looking car as well. I'm sure the 911 is still a superb driver's car though.

I'm here for the infractions

[@daddymagnum1875]

So the Hellcat makes around 800 HP and the Corvette makes 495 with a $5,000 upgrade.

[@W.A.R.R.]

It’s a base model corvette.....

[@rembo183]

How much is this one? About $75?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

85k as tested.

[@rembo183]

Matt Maran Motoring -... think it’s worth the added money $15k from the base $60k car? You’re in the Porsche GTS and M4 category!

[@hammerhome7879]

What I REALLY want to know.. C8 Corvette OR Cayman GT4 ????????????
