Not a Vette fan? You’ve probably not driven the 2020 C8 Corvette Stingray. After decades of speculation, Chevy’s supercar has finally gone mid-engine with a 6.2-liter V8 behind the seats. And it starts at $60,000. That’s not a typo (but good luck finding one). Tom Voelk checks out a well optioned Z51 model. Spoiler alert, it’s an incredible machine that’s hard to find fault with.

Living in Holland, it's amazing that in the US you can buy this car, with this level of performance, power, mid-engined V8, for a base price of 60.000 dollar. That is the bargain of the century. Over here, with CO2-emissions based tax, the C8 will be way over 100.000 EUROs. What amazes me most however, is that GM can build a car with this level of engineering and on the other hand build aweful, plastic, average driving, cheap quality family SUVs and hatchbacks. GM should put the people who developed the C8 in charge of their entire car division. Great review again Tom. Please keep doing what you're doing.

@@JohnDoe-be6qp I'm sure he got a loan. I can't tell you what to career to choose, but I can give you some advice. Be very careful about your credit score. If you do go to college, make you sure you pay at least your minimum payments after you graduate. Most college loans will not expect you to start paying until graduation. Make sure tho. Another thing, once you're employed (regardless if you go to college or what you do) get a credit card, but be very careful. Only spend the amount you actually have on a month to month basis. Use it like a debit card, and pay the bill at the end of the month. If you loose your job, DO NOT use the card. Once you're on your own, use a credit card to pay your bills, then pay it off at the end of the month as well. It's not hard to get a good credit score, but once it's bad, it's really hard to bring it up. If you have good credit, life is much easier. Still Not easy, but it definitely helps. Good luck

@@JohnDoe-be6qp you want to pay your bills with the credit card instead of cash or debit, only to help you with your credit score. When you need a loan for a house or a car, the bank is going to look at your credit score. If you do what I said, you'll have a long history of credit and it will be good creidt. What that does, is it will get you bigger loans with lower interest rates. It costs you less to lend more. If you don't have good credit, it's going to be really hard to ever buy a nice house or nice car. It's extremely important and I wish someone would have told me this when I was your age.

Its 495HP. Its got lots of equals that are ferociously faster. Perhaps the most obvious is the faster (says Dragy), half price, C7 base model. John Hennessy has a lot of base model C7 vs C8 videos up. The C7 devastates the C8 across all speed and handling categories. If the C7 wasn't the be all and end all, the C8 is only worse. A lot worse.

Here's my recommendation to resolve all of GM's woes. Gather each and every engineer, designer, manager, and accountant currently employed by Chevrolet. Hand pink slips to each one who is NOT associated with the Corvette. Turn over the entire Chevrolet division to the Corvette folks. Not because every vehicle has to be a Corvette but because any group of people who can design and build a vehicle that meets its mission so well at a price point that is almost unbelievable should be running Chevrolet or perhaps all of GM. P.S. Ain't early autumn around Fall City and Snoqualmie a delight!

Without a doubt, these are the best quality auto review/previews out there. They are informative, and beautifully videographed. I agree about the rear styling. I also think there are way too many cut lines (ie: @ 12:07). Not that I can afford one, but I would want the targa top. It would eliminate a few of those cut lines, and it would make the interior's roof look better, and provide a lesser chance of water leaks. (Hello GM. I speak from personal experience). Let me guess, a targa top delete is not available? Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review! Thanks Tom!

I found this review to be really nicely done, with great camera work and and precise and enjoyable coverage of the car's features. It has to be the most positive review I have seen since the major complaint is the volume control knob! The comparison of the C8 and the 718 GTS 4.0 (a far more expensive car) is the same that Car & Driver recently did. I think the 718 is probably preferable as a track car, being lighter, smaller and with a manual transmission, but for doing that cross-country trip it would be not nearly as enjoyable as the C8. As to Chevrolet quality, I have owned a C6 (6MT, Z51) for five years and it has been the most trouble-free car I have ever had. GM uses cheap plastic for glove box door latches while I have learned to my cost that; BMW uses it for engine parts. My car is used primarily for long-distance trips and I would expect that once the C8's first year teething issues are worked out (including the stitching!) it will be an excellent car for travelling.

I can’t even imagine the amount of time it takes to edit A/V and sync everything to an excellent production quality. When it comes to production value, you and a handful of others on KZbin are the gold standard, you play in the majors when it comes to this stuff.

I have dreamed of and planned on owning a 718 GTS 4.0 6-speed since the day it was announced. It's the most desirable representation of the 718 platform, in my opinion. That said, I too could easily see myself owning a loaded C8 Z51 instead...and for at least $20k less. This car deserves serious consideration by anyone shopping for an exotic, although they might prefer to wait for the more extreme C8 variants to drop. This naturally aspirated base engine is preferable to me.

As for knowledge, I have owned 71 cars, one at a time, and I worked in the automotive business for decades so its true, your subs are well informed car people. ha ha I'd select this over the NSX, mostly because I am not a Japanese car fan, but I'd take the Ferrari Roma overall, if I had the money to choose. Cheers!

@@DrivenCarReviews ha ha, my wife is ready to shoot me whenever I lease a new car and bring it home! ha ha I started with cars in 1974, and haven't stopped buying or leasing them since. I am not wealthy, I just know the business and get the right deals. Driving an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti currently, one of the best car experiences I've had in years. And I've owned 3 Porsches, 5 Mercedes, 3 Corvettes, 3 Audi's and over 8 VW's! This Giulia is a real treat to drive. Keep up the great reviews, I'm watching Tom.

This is a very thoughtful, thorough,. and honest review of the car. I have had mine since April and I pretty much agree with everything he says. Yes the stitching could be more even, although I have no problem with the volume knob, it's an awkward reach around the steering wheel. The car is much more striking and visually appealing in person than it is in any video, it looks like an Italian supercar and the ride is incredibly composed and smooth, it rides like a high-powered Cadillac. Those of you who are patiently waiting for your C8 won't be disappointed, there's a reason it's getting all these rave reviews.

Awesome review as usual. Best auto reviewer on KZbin. How do you compare C8 to Cayman GT4 in terms of the back road ride quality and driving experience? Neither car is availabile for test drive.

Very cool factoid about the lodge. I'm a HUGE Twin Peaks (and David Lynch) fan and I think that'd be a coll place to visit someday. Also, definitely check out the sequel, it's amazing and perplexing, as one would expect from DL.

My understanding is that the brake - by - wire tech from the C8 came over to the Cadillac CT5, so the innovations of this car are already spreading around the GM lineup.

I'm glad you reviewed this car. Good job with good info. Corvette should be smaller, I still like it. I haven't owned a GM vehicle in years. Actually thinking about a Supra at end of year, or early 2021? My wife and I, are putting this on the possibility list?

Good luck finding one. You have to order one , that process is looong. You can wait for your car 12-14 months from this time forward. $60 K is possible if you can get one of the dealerships allocations. Best of luck and I hope you won’t get discouraged before you see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m new to you channel and you have excellent content and visuals.

It is not understandable to me why a completely renovated, highly automated manufacturing plant cannot meet volume demand and still deliver today's high quality. My guesses are two. The emphasis of the Corvette plant is on quality rather than volume. With so many options, logistics and manufacturing is very challenging and time consuming. Another thought is that this is a flagship for the brand and company, not a huge money maker, so why emphasize volume?

@@karlk9316 you are 100% correct it makes no sense. I have toured the plant in the past and I was impressed. They have spent 100s of millions of dollars to upgrade operations. Now adding second shift to produce the 2020 orders running until sometime in December to complete as many as possible. Configerator for 2021 to see options has , or will be available soon. The 10/20/2020 rollout of the Hummer is taking front seat now. Taking orders right after the debut at 8pm. Central if I’m not mistaken.

Hey Tom, I’ve been watching your video only on my 65 inch screen since the beginning of your show (Podcast via AppleTv) now on KZbin. 👍🏽Great Job on the cinematography. Love the Neighbor you drive in. Houses are $$$$$$$ in that area. I have friends in the Seattle area. Nice town as I visit often there.

Great review. Thanks for sharing the roads, I have always wondered where u drive. I am from Seattle and hit up Ben Howard road often. The Vette's use of double wishbones f/r is far more exotic that Porsche. This is the first attempt, and that too for the base car "for the masses". Cant imagine what the more driver focused grand sports etc will be like. Heavy use of aluminum and composites (no rust, lightweight), reliability and low costs, V8, advanced cockpit, removable roof - can you go wrong with this. A cross country GT and a sports car in one.

Good stuff here - both in the car and in the review. I'm a 911 driver. The new 'Vette leaves me cold. Three reasons. First, as you note in your review, it is big. I test drove one once. Huge car. Dealer bragged it could hold two sets of golf clubs. I don't play golf and I buy a car to drive it. Second, the car does not look good. I would not feel good driving it. Third, no manual transmission. Kudos to Chevy and GM for creating a car like this at this price but I'll stay with my Carrera S cab and row my own. Keep up the great work, Tom.

Thanks for the review. Does pushing the volume knob have a function? Does it turn on the screen? Or mute the volume? That could be annoying with longer nails for sure.
