The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Is The Ultimate Topless American Sports Car

The #C8Corvette has been around for nearly 5 years and the #CorvetteConvertible is the best example yet of Chevy's new mid-engine supercar. The #Corvette went to a mid-engine layout in 2020, and #Chevrolet also decided that it was time to make the Convertible version more sleek with the inclusion of the first-ever power retractable hard top.

I’ve been a MOPAR or no car consumer my entire life. Hellcats, SRTs, TRX, R/Ts and I just picked up a 24’ Convertible 3LT Z51 with Magna-ride. It’s an excellent vehicle. Get thumbs up and compliments everywhere I drive and park. GM truly built a world contender.

I took delivery of my C8 yesterday, Eckard blue with black interior, convertible, I did buy the one LT and all in I got is for 69K,,all I need,, at that price I got the real deal sports car

[@xbeaker]

All C8s have launch control. You don't have the as many options for traction control without the Z-51 package, but if you put the car in sport or track mode and hold the ABS button for 2 seconds you can choose the sport PTM option (or set it in the 'Z' mode and just press the Z button) this will turn on launch control. Also the HTC versions are also fully capable of 2.9sec 0-60. Due to the structural bolstering of the center channel, they didn't need to add additional reinforcement to the car as many convertibles do. The HTC is only about 80 pounds heavier than the Coupe. It is not significant enough to effect the 0-60. The weather and your altitude is a bigger factor than those 80 pounds.

[@johnnyparker2128]

I’ve only been able to get into launch control in Track Mode which makes the steering stiff.

[@AMADEUSFROMVEGAS]

I have the C8 in rapid blue. Color is sick.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Quick isnt the purpose of the car, it is merely a result. A 992 Carrera S may be quicker in acceleration , but a Z51 Stingray is a FASTER track car on MOST road courses and the Nurburgring which MATTERS a whole lot for intent of design. A somewhat joke optioned 992 Carrera S is a 150,000 dollar car and is only equal to a 2LT C8 if that for features.

[@G-Rated]

@@991carreras3 that must be why you rushed here to see the Corvette’s review? Because the Lotus is done correctly, right? Lol. 😂

[@Stressless2023]

I agree that SOME of the C8 exterior styling is not good, but I actually like the front end for the most part although the overly exaggerated cut lines in the front of the hood look a little gaudy and unnecessary to me - I still strongly dislike the rear styling even after a few years of them being on the market, particularly the tail light design which I think looks cartoon-ish, the shape of those vents underneath them look downmarket and poorly integrated, and the "blades" on the sides which I think look tacky and also poorly integrated - Basically just a few design choices that I think keep it from looking as upscale and premium as it could look and a little too "Camaro" - The interior design is a win for the most part to me, the long row of buttons cheapens it a little but it does look interesting, overall though I like the interior and stats of the C8 with the exterior being kind of a mixed bag.

[@RavagHer]

looks cool but my OCD cannot overlook the fact that the side mirrors are not the same length on both sides. the passenger side is longer and it drives me crazy that i found that out.

i used to hate convertibles but i have to say, the convertible version of the c8 seems very enticing - it really suits the mid engine layout. GM nailed the c8 corvette overall

[@johnhenry267]

best part is you can still use the trunk with the top down, can't do that with the coupe because the top stows in the trunk. Seems like a win win to me, and you can let the rear window down so you can hear the exhaust with the top up. kinda looks better too.....

[@blkgenius]

I love Sofyan’s reviews. I’ve been watching them for years, and his channel is one of the few I subscribe to on KZbin. As a car owner, I can’t help but notice small errors in his reviews. For example, he mentioned a Z71 package for launch control when he meant to say Z51. However, that's incorrect as all C8s have launch control; the method to enable it differs between the Z51 and base trims. He also stated that the 2024 model doesn’t have GM’s latest infotainment software, which is not true. The 2024 model features the latest version of GM’s infotainment with Google built-in, unlike previous model years. Overall, it's still a very good review of a deserving car.

[@JohnnyBfromPeoria]

He's been corrected on the "no launch control" thing a long time ago - and acknowledged it! C'mon.

Yup. I have one. I take mine on vacation and I need to put my baggage in the trunk and it wouldn’t have fit with the top in there. I also like being able to put the top up quickly if it starts to rain. Lastly I can roll down the back window and get the engine when I drive. Plus it doesn’t look like a convertible with the top up and I was able to get the top in a different color than the rest of the car and I liked that too.
