The American Icon Is Now An American Supercar | 2021 Chevy Corvette

To be honest, I was in the camp that said "no way, GM will never make it." Thank heavens I was wrong. The new Corvette is pretty much everything GM promised with a lower sticker price than I had projected and an interior worthy of a German supercar.

What really great about this video is it’s straight forward, informative and not over produced. There’s no distracting music and someone over embellishing and yelling at the camera like a circus barker. When you’re about to shell out what could exceed $100K, you just want straight hard facts, not tolerating someone not comfortable on camera or worst, a wanna be actor. Keep it coming.

Honestly with all the dealer markup crap, some of these new corvettes are selling for more money than a used NSX. Some C8s are going as high as 131k.

[@gbgary]

[@faeinthebay]

I think there are 2 issues: 1) Like the Civic Type R, there is massive hype for this car so supply won't match demand for a few years. And used prices won't settle for a while after that. 2) Used Corvettes are notoriously hard to buy because their owners overvalue them. The demographics of C8 buyers will hopefully change that but it could continue.

[@anydaynow01]

@@faeinthebay Yep correct on all accounts. I'm just hoping that I can find a gently used 2022 model in a few years and skip the curb tax and dealership markups though. I think unlike the Civic Type R, which is the econobox's halo model, these regular Stingrays will hopefully devalue once the Z06 and Zora models are released.

[@dlg5485]

I dream of owning a Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0, but for significantly less money and more performance, a C8 2LT makes a big more sense to me. Also, far less costly maintenance on the C8 makes the choice even easier. GM has a winner with this one.

[@jaloladdinmatnazarov5605]

Finally great deaign and speed and handling

[@Tully3674]

Good, practical review. Don't need to harp on top speed like so many other reviewers.

[@m1l3s27]

Who's harping on top speed? It does 194 mph (310kph), no one is saying that's slow. This is the base model as well. A mustang with similar hp only does like 170ish comfortably. This isnt even the fast corvette. 1000hp hybrid is coming.

They are not "cooled" they are ventilated. If the car is hot they blow hot air. And the seat heaters don't work well either.

[@LoveStallion]

And per the front end not looking like a Corvette but the rear looking like one: I completely agree. I saw one of these in the wild a few weeks ago and as it was turning in front of me I thought it was a new Ferrari. Only when I saw the rear did I know what it was.

[@sheneedsme]

I own the Convertible C8 and I though the rear end initially looked too big and a bit cluttered. I got mine without the spoiler and removed the corvette scrip on the back and it made a big difference, although more people mistake it for a Ferrari. I owned a new Ferrari California T convertible and the C8 looks more like a Ferrari than my real Ferrari.

Nice to see that there's only a $12,000 delta between the base model. and the top level LT3 trim. The Europeans more than double the price of the base models if you spec them out to the max. I understand that those cars offer a variety of drivetrain options, but at the end of the day, a C Class is still a C Class.

Great Review. I wonder if their plant will be able to supply the demand for this vehicle? If it can not that may just automatically push the MSRP up.

The contrasting stitching, though, can't be 'almost' perfect because even minor errors just become too obvious. 9:18 The physical infotainment button, situated on the upper left hand side, is on the wrong side as your own arm will hide the screen.
