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

[@larrydemonte2218]

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

[@Veyronp87]

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.....

[@kevin-qc7zv]

You don't like the c7?

[@sheneedsme]

I bought one the first convertibles ever offered in 2020 and it’s been a fantastic car. Kids love to see the top go up and down.

[@C8sorbs]

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.

Soyfan, it’s always a pleasure watching you enjoy yourself in the Chevrolet Corvette. Every time you drive this car on camera it’s like you have come alive! It’s even fun watching you have fun in it, makes me want one so badly I’m ngl! 🔥😎

[@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.

[@CarsBikesBoats7]

The Frunk should also be a soft close on the 2024.

[@Loverofengines101]

to be honest I never see you be so happy like this ❤

[@vincebrown9832]

Right!?’?!

[@AMADEUSFROMVEGAS]

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

[@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.

[@thomosburn8740]

The C7 does not have oval tail lights either so people have had a DECADE to get over that . . .

We will never track it and it’s capable of more performance than we will ever need. Our 2nd Corvette and the best vehicle this 76yo has ever driven.

Love this video! I truly just never click on anything having to do with electric cars. This video made my whole morning. Four years into this generation and the base stingray still puts a huge smile on Sofyan’s face

[@KRGruner]

My 2023 is close to the specs shown here, but 3LT, full carbon-flash roof, performance exhaust, mag ride, and two-tone natural (tan) interior. Fantastic car, especially for here in Florida. I just wish I could have had the engine appearance package like yours had, but that only became available in 2024 (there are however after-market options). Excellent review, pretty much nailed it.

[@jeffbeaver4419]

I have a 2024 2LT convertible with GT2 seats,mag ride,front lift. Love it. Note that the 2024 does have a soft close frunk. Rumor is that the 2026 will have a larger video display and there may be a change to the wall of buttons.

Even the performance exhaust is very quiet in even track mode. If you add the Borla exhaust make sure you order performance exhaust in Oder to get the adjustable valves.

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.

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.

breaking the bank depends on your income ..... most C8 Corvettes in my area are $100,000+ ... I make good money and my wife makes great money and we can't afford a C8 ....

[@Retired_Life_1]

Breaking the bank is a relative phrase, but compared to it’s competition (rear/mid engine cars, e.g., Porsche, McClaren, Ferrari, & Lambo) the entry level Stingray is a great performance bargain. I've seen used low milage C8s in the mid 60k to 70k range. I never considered corvette until the current mid engine C8 version came to market. I was considering a Porsche 911 Turbo S which was about $215k compared to my 2023 2LT HTC, Z51 w/magna ride at $93k. Given its performance even with the old tech NA 6.2L pushrod V8, it’s a performance bargain.

[@williamconrad1087]

I've never really been a fan of the interior. That long row of buttons, and ridge between the driver and passenger, will require a complete revision to get a larger screen. But more than that, I would think the passenger would experience some level of claustrophobia.
