The End of C7 Corvette and The Arrival of THE C8 Corvette

The Landscape of Corvette is changing and in this vlog I discuss the C8 and what its going to do to the value of the C7. It's definitely an exciting time to be a corvette enthusiast. This will be a 2 part video series with the next video seeing what car max values my wife's C7 Grand Sport Collectors edition.

Chuck-The corvette community misses you and all the great content that you delivered.

[@zachman2095]

GM is going to have to step up their game on the C8 Corvette because the C7 Corvette is one phenomenal looking car no matter what model you have the C7 corvettes are Beautiful cars

[@Corvettes918]

I agree, the C7 are some big shoes to fill but I think in a few years the C8 will be dialed in. 👍🏻👊🏻

[@ssnobrakesable]

The mid engine C8 will be a game changer...........Those that are in the market for a Porsche 911 or a mid engine Ferrari and Lamborghini will now seriously consider a Vette. The power, quality and speed is there, now the handling will be there too......Long Live the Vette !

[@ace-lo1nq]

Youre right smart move by GM and Camaro plays the c7 role now as its a sportscar

[@61sasquatchwilson74]

I hope the mid engine helps with the ass end coming loose on Vettes If they're are truly serious about competing with Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini they better make it all wheel drive with beyond ZR1 power.

[@norwegianblue2017]

The handling is already there.

[@61sasquatchwilson74]

About as much as I would pay if it's on par with the super cars is about $160K any more than you might as well get something else.

[@61sasquatchwilson74]

Not on par with a 911 Turbo S it's not, You turn off your traction control stuff even on a Z51 and you're going to get killed.

[@alanrainey8081]

I think you’re right on the money Chuck. Always better to wait especially on a completely new format.

[@weewillywonka8475]

Hi Chuck. I am a disabled Vietnam Vet from Agent Orange. I watch your videos because I love Corvettes. I have wanted one since I was 15 years old and I'm 69 now. It is kind of doubtful I will ever be able to afford my dream car, a Corvette (C7) Z06 or GS with a Torch Red body, black interior, black conv top or glass top on a coupe. I watch your channel because I love your cars. I loved your black Z06 but I like your ZR1 too. Anyway, keep up the good work. Have a blessed day.

[@bluevette2230]

Being a Corvette owner (2011 Jetstream Blue Grand Sport), I’ve learned that GM always gets it right with the Corvette; no matter what generation, when a Corvette is on the road, America’s Sports Car, receives the attention it has earned; may you all have a Blessed day; Corvettes # 1 !

[@deanporostovsky9547]

Thank you, Chuck! Always informative & ALWAYS AWESOME!

[@bigd9848]

Chuck it is always nice to see your videos about these topics.The new generation of the corvette 👍🏻💥🚀💎

[@albertcooper631]

Hy Chuck really enjoyed this vlog it remined me when u started talking about the ZR1.I know we r going too gt some good content about the C8 from u and Rick until they debut. Love that Grand Sport dont sell it.

[@mattford5072]

Great point about the 2017. In April I found a brand new 2016 at over 30% off sticker. Absolutely LOVE it!

[@peteralvarado7996]

Great comments Chuck. I agree with everything you said. They did a great job with the camouflage I believe when they reveal it it will look very much like a Vette Very much like a manta Ray lol

[@mclarenjohnf1]

I have to say that footage of the C8 at the Nürburgring is impressive the way it corners and it doesn't get unsettled as it hits the braking points for the corner. Your assessment at this juncture is sensible.

[@safetymichael9388]

The more I look at the Blue Seats I really like them. They look amazing in this Video. Great Job Chuck

[@Radeno33]

I see it very clearly in my opinion. Who is real Vettes lover it is no matter for him how will looks like in the future. Was the Vette / is the Vette and will be the Vette... I love american cars at all. Many greetings from 🇸🇰

[@chrisvise4939]

Great video as always! Thanks for sharing.

[@leafywatson249]

Me&wifey said you nailed this one chuck so we thank you buddy take care

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Watson you guys are awesome 👍🏻👊🏻

[@Maxdady01]

Your level of detail and car care are simply amazing, Chuck. FEARSUM is stunning. Thanks for the content!

[@bobbymy3vettes415]

Hey Chuckles!!! I started out with the C4 and eventually moved on to a C6. These 2 generations have always been my favorite Vettes. The C8 is definitely going to be a game changer for the Chevy icon. I just hope Chevy doesn't totally abandoned the front engine heritage that made the Corvette the greatest American sports car ever. Love the video & great job as always my friend!👍👍😎🏁🇺🇸

[@christianbeevers4937]

I love hearing that a twin turbo is coming lol, i remember when the 1990 ZR-1 came out and people hated the over head cams, they still do. But now a twin turbo wow, chevy has came a long way.

[@prestonrobert2625]

When I saw your wife’s GS and the title I laughed and cried briefly. My #416 was in the shop some noise so bad in the bell housing like metal on metal bad brakes noise. JON H. Chevrolet Daytona had to make GM BUY Back they switched me over to a Z06 triple black convertible. LESS cost. Thanks GM

[@TROyVRay]

Another great video, I was so stoked when I saw my car at the end!

[@Noble7th265]

I love these videos! I need to buy a Corvette soon! Thanks for the content.

[@michaelhention8105]

Hey chuck great video. I like that new c8 body style. I can have a European look and the performance without the European price. I'm like you. 2022 the c8 vette is coming to the house.👊👊 take care.

[@bmx687]

Chuck, commenting to inform you that I have officially passed my NAPLEX exam. I am a licensed pharmacist! Next up is the law exam! I will keep you posted on that as well coach! Great video as always! - Mike

[@Corvettes918]

Congratulations Mike very happy for you man. I know you have worked hard and it’s paying off 👍🏻👊🏻

[@Corwin74]

AWD and dual clutch in the C8 Z06, now you're speaking my language. I totally agree with you about waiting a couple of years and holding out for the Z06. The C8 could make me go back to American made for my next sports car. Just bought a Colorado ZR2 a month ago and so far I really love it. The technology and infotainment system is pretty awesome, especially with the Bose sound system and the suspension in that thing is just amazing. GM has made some incredible improvements in the past few years. Can't wait to see what happens!

[@61sasquatchwilson74]

To me if they don't make it AWD they're wasting their time.

[@WeirdBrick]

Lol so Mclaren are wasting their time aswell! Im so glad the 720 wasnt awd. Other than a quicker 0-30 time it would be a far lesser car.

[@VenmHiss910]

Chuck, I’m with you. As soon as the C8 comes out and we actually see the car without all of the camo, a majority of folks will get on board. Love the C7, but in the end Chevrolet needs to lean forward and look to the future with new technologies and out of the box ideas or they’ll be left in the dust of their competitors!! Great Vlog, STAY 918 (💯) 👍👍👍 mike r. in NC

[@byronconley9398]

It’s good to see you back full at full strength Keeping us up on everything new about Corvette Thanks big bro Once again you’ve knocked it out the park I was wondering what happened You kept us up with the ZR1but not with the C-8 You had me worried You know you’re the number 1 man on KZbin Thanks a lot for all the great content and it’s good to have you keeping us informed on everything new about Corvette again

[@brettbarnett3479]

Great video Buddy I’m stoked to see the C8. I’m like you will probably be 4 or 5 years before I hope to get one. Still enjoying my GS for now.

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Chuck I think you have it right, time will tell, I agree with working the bugs out in the first years. Another informative vlog Thank you, .

[@MichaelSmith-eq7vg]

Thanks great video. A little understeer on that c8 but mid engine cars tend to demonstrate that tendency. I'm with you 3+ years for GM to work out the bugs cooling, suspension, engine (if it's turbocharged) and most of all software.

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Love the video Mr. chuck, couldn’t wait to hear your opinion on this!

[@HemiBurns]

Great info Chuck.....I will wait for the Wide Body Z06 version of the C8

[@jasoncataldi2053]

I’ve been saying it for years....glad you said it as well: “GM is coming!”

[@mbeochoa]

That is a sick color combo. Love it!

[@justinfontaine5539]

Good points on buying now. I just got a new 2017 Base C7 2LT loaded up with mag ride for 26% under sticker. 52k for a 71k car. Smoking deals out there

[@devinjackson2373]

Once again, Great Video!!

[@nilan1476]

Another Great Video Chuck. I just bought my first zo6. I'm not in any rush to get a c8 but I can't wait to see if they can keep the price down and have the stats you mentioned.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Good points on selling your car, I talk about that all the time; safety and ease of really selling it is a great value. On this video, YOU HAD ME LAUGHING....so silly. Great topic video, I am doing one on same topic this week with a few twists ;) I agree, we are headed into a whole new era for Corvette, faster than people realize

[@trustrobinwoundcare9189]

You had me at " faster than people realize" LOL

[@anthonymuntz2121]

Nice... and I think you are right about that. I think people like myself are going to wait to see. Then get their first Corvette. And later get a C8. I mean, I would. Cool video!! Always! Good information!!🤔🤔👍👍👍👍

[@samuelkrenik3873]

That grand sport spec is amazing.

[@ffrob2001]

I was about to buy a C7 GS Corvette but as soon as I saw the spy photos of the new C8 I immediately changed to looking at a C6. I had 3 C7 that I was going to look at but now I am the owner of a C6 Vette. I am saving my cash to buy the C8, I know the C6 won't take as big of a hit and I got my C6 for a great deal. The C8 is JAW DROPPING and I love it!!

[@lwelk273]

Plan to move on my Stingray for the C8 - mid engine way to go........i can say this as I have other C7's at the home so I look forward to drive both. No lost proposition. thanks for the video and look forward to the amount. God bless!

[@bobbypace1909]

Setting here waiting on part 2.... great job as always 😎 I’m #corvettecrazy

[@rinaldocatria4386]

Always great content and editing Chuck. You do nice work. Looking forward to your visit with Rick C...

[@JasonHobbsGuitarist]

I hope I do really like the C8, from what I can see so far I’m not digging the design. On the other hand, I’m 100% into my 2019 Z06 3LZ. I’m going to have that car for many years. One thing I wouldn’t do is buy a C8 the first year it’s out, you’re just asking for trouble, lol For Gods sake, just wait it out if that’s your plans. :)

[@MrKingofflippin]

Great video chuck love the information 👍🏾

[@Nemo0610]

This was an awesome video, Chuck. I think I'm as ready as ever to finally see a revealed C8. Can't wait to see a little more price drop on the C7 grand sport and Z06.. even though I know it won't be dramatic, it's a lesser price to throw more money at. I think we are about in the same ballpark as far as appraisal, I guessed around 65k-66k..... FYI I went to the Caffeine and Octane here in Atlanta and FINALLY saw the ZR1 in person and had a great conversation with the owner of the Carbon 65 Z06 and he told me about his ordering experience... Pics for days Chuck... As always awesome content.

[@Corvettes918]

Those are always great events. The ZR1 is so much more impressive in person as you saw. Glad you were out enjoying cars. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@DigimortalFM81]

Hey Chuck, great video. Later this month I'll be taking delivery of a C7 7 speed, 3LZ, Z06. Ordered to my spec. Am I late for the C7 party? Yes. But I also got it because I finally have the means to do so. I dont know where I'll be in a few years, if I chose to wait. The leftover inventory are getting awesome deals, but I just couldn't find one that was to how I wanted it. With C8, I'm in the same boat as you. I dont want a base C8/Z51. I want a C8 Z06. I'll wait until the 2nd or 3rd year C8 Z06 production model comes out. By then, dealers should have no problem on allocation, no price mark ups, more trim features could be available and hopefully the bugs are fixed based on the early C8 adopters. So I still have plenty of years to enjoy my C7 before I jump on C8 Z06. And that's if a manual version is offered, which from what i read, probably not. Keep up the great content 👍

[@Corvettes918]

You are on the money, great comment 👍🏻 Enjoy that new Z 👊🏻

[@TotalLifeVictoryTV]

Well...I’m a purist regarding exterior design when it comes to #CORVETTE not necessarily with the mid-engine; I’m ok with that. I’ve been a fan of the long snout. The car looks Euro. But this vlog has made me more open. At the end of the day, I’m brand loyal. Thanks Chuck. Really good vlog! ~Barrington

[@MrDeepseadweller]

Hi Chuck. That was probably my favourite video of yours - packed full of info. You're a born presenter. I live in Australia where we can't buy a Corvette, but I'm heading to LA in October and I'm renting a C7 Stingray from Turo for 4 days to drive up the Pacific Coast Highway and back. Can't wait. Only problem is, it's bright yellow - not my favourite colour. God bless Chuck and keep the great content coming!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Sir, Have a blast during your visit and enjoy that Corvette. 👍😎

[@amoslyaround]

Great video, Chuck. I agree with your assessment on the future of the C7 and C8. I'm still a big C7 fan but the C8 has piqued my curiosity! It's gonna take some time for the new lines to grow on me.......

[@polarbear111000]

Great video as always Chuck :)

GREAT VIDEO CHUCK AND HAVE A BLESSED WEEK

[@duaneclark3539]

I am with you the C7 is over as soon as the C8 is released, that is what is great about Corvette or any car they keep changing!!!!!

[@Skne91]

Can’t wait for the c8 to drop. Looks like a Ferrari but not Ferrari price that’s why I love vettes. I hope the interior is bigger tho. Btw good informative vid chuck👍

[@bio400]

Look at the price now

[@DominusEstOK]

I can't wait to finally see the final product. I'm jazzed for the C8.

[@bigbitinvestor4522]

Exactly why I just bought a new C7....great price, great driving experience,...and like you say “Let em work the bugs out on the first years of the C8 and then jump in.

[@scottwhite2553]

I'm thinking the front engines will hold their value even after the mid engine comes out. Supply and demand, if there are no more front engine vettes being made and that's what one wants and no more are being made that may drive the price up in the future.

[@DevOtionSynthax]

This is good, now I can finally get me a C7 Grandsport for cheap!

[@mib20000]

geeesss Chuck . I remember when you were at like 400-500 subs . you flew to 24 k . WOW nice job .

[@Corvettes918]

👍🏻👊🏻

[@RickCorvetteConti]

He does an awesome job!

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

Glad to hear your new found optimism on the C8 Chuck 👍🏻 I agree with your points as well. People thought I was a crazy conspiracy theorist when talking about these topics a few months ago lol. I think everyone is finally agreeing that it IS a Corvette and it WILL be here soon! There's also no doubt in my mind that the first offering will be affordable. They're still running small steel rotors on the test mules out at the Nürburgring. Not gonna happen on a 100k+ car from GM.

[@Corvettes918]

Soul searching 😂😂. In the end I am always pro Corvette!!

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

@@Corvettes918 Same here man! I don't care where they put the engine... If it's a new Corvette I'm getting pumped lol.

I never understood why peeps want a front engine, RWD sportscar! Porsche Caymen is the ultimate sports car!

[@dnkrlng]

You are 100% correct Chuck!

[@tikky0982]

Chuck, I love what you said about driving your car. Too often, especially those within the Corvette community, people don’t drive their cars. What’s the point in spending all that money to drive it a handful of times and then sell it? I think this mentality is the main culprit in the stereotype of “old Corvette owners”. I know even with my Challenger, I try to cherish every opportunity I get to drive it during the season (up here in Rochester, NY we get some pretty cold winters). The other thing I liked about what you said is how the C6 owners complained about the new C7 and then went on to buy one a few years later anyways. Change is always tough to embrace for a lot of people, so I get that. However, like the revolutionary changes with the C7, I think GM is smart to completely change the Corvette into a modern exotic sports car with the C8 generation. “Old” people aren’t getting any younger and the brand does have to survive and maintain its heritage. Attracting the younger audience is the key to the continuation of the Corvette. I know growing up as a kid, the C5 in the early 2000’s and the C6 in the mid to later 2000’s were the big models at the time. As I finished high school, the C7 had just come out (I graduated 2015) and I was just wowed by it. I work part-time for a local car wash business and the first time I saw a C7 in person was this guy’s Laguna Blue Z06... I was just in awe. Only reason I got the Challenger is because I love that car just as equally and to be honest, it’s a lot more affordable over a Z06. However, I will never forget that first time I saw it and falling in love with Corvette since then. It’s nice to know I have another dream car to work towards someday 😌 I’m a true believer in hard work and persistence, so I know that if I could have saved up to buy the Challenger, I can do the same for a Corvette too. I don’t mean to make this comment so long, but I thought I’d share a little perspective from someone of the younger audience. Thanks for including our rides at the end and keep up with the great content 👍

[@johnglynn7795]

Chuck, hello from Thailand. Appreciate the video and your opinion on the end of the C7 and the arrival of the C8 as it will come to fruition next year. That being said, I too will enjoy my new ZO6 to the fullest arriving next mont. GM will need to work out the "bugs" on the C8 1st generation and over the next several years then consider the options. Ever in the Phoenix area (and don't forget to bring your golf clubs), look forward to our paths crossing. Blue skies, Jg

[@paulwilliams6417]

Great information as usual. I'm seeing that the convertible Z06 seems to be holding about a $10K difference on the coupe. I do agree with you that when the C8 comes out it will drop the price quite a bit on the other Corvettes.

[@Brad_James]

I'm still keeping my baby no matter what!!! 😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Corvettes918]

I don’t blame you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@604Basshead]

Sweet ride Chuck!

[@lionelruningen6087]

Great vid Chuck. Love your channel. Hope you are right about pricing. Corvette will not be the same if it takes 100k for a Stingray.

[@randyrhodes7526]

I agree with you about waiting a few production years on the C8 to let GM sort out bugs, that is just good practice no matter what brand of car, Never buy new 1st year revamp of anything, As always thumbs up looking forward to pt2 !

[@terrililes9904]

Thanks for the iinfo Chuck....

[@redstingraycorvette]

A friend of mine that works at the tech center in Michigan said that they're going to continue to build the C7 along with the C8 and if it sells well they're going to continue to build it until it doesn't they're also alluding to that the small V8 in the Corvette is going to be gone notice on the test mule Germany there's no huge exhaust pipe to hide the sound of the car like there was on a ZR1 great video as usual chalk

[@robertjakicic5878]

Great information Chuck, it's not that GM is trying to keep up with the competition it's the other way around, I truly believe the competition is trying to keep up with GM. Completely new body design, less weight, new,even more powerful technological motors. And your right about one thing, these new Corvettes could break some track records.

[@christianbennerman5287]

I hope they are still working on the C8, because thus far what I’m seeing from C8 doesn’t look better than the C7

[@MARCUS3XTV]

agree 100%. i am not impressed with the C8 body style

[@latenightkrew1963]

I AM LOL

[@carlosandleon]

@@MARCUS3XTV we don't even know how it would really look like

[@boblochen]

Starting to look more like the competition (square with flat sides) rather than that long 'coke bottle' shape like the C7s and C3s. One of the things I really like about the C7 is the similarity (homage) to the C3.

[@dinonoce]

Great video, Chuck! I’m in Canada and the dealers here have not started discounting new inventory to the extent that you or Rick Conti have described. I’m HOPING that the announcement of the details of the C8 will cause a steep decline in C7 prices. I’ll be looking to buy new, or a slightly used C7 for a great deal from that guy that has to have the C8.

[@bobbyboyd6377]

Whats up chuck. I want the c8. I will take the 1st batch depending on specs amd pricing. I will be either selling or taking my c6 to carmax at sum point. Great video

Well I guess my dream to own a new C7 in 4 years is gone... guess I will just have to buy Chuck's wife's Grand Sport when she updates to a C8!

[@Smokealotapotamous]

2020 = Stingray, 2022 = Z06 (twin turbo 750 hp), 2024 = ZR1 (AWD Hybrid Gas electric 1000 hp Like 918 and LaFerrari).

[@FM-tx5es]

Always a pleasure, Chuck. Be it a C7 or C8, I appreciate your input. I’ll be hanging on to my C7 and enjoying every mile I drive. Let the bugs work themselves out of the new C8 mid engines, and we’ll see in a few years.

[@FM-tx5es]

[@georgemantzoros8001]

Chuck very much enjoy your channel and really appreciate the shout out for Realtors. I'm a realtor in central Ohio. You're so right, a closing can't happen unless all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed. It's my job to make sure the paper work is completed correctly. Keep up the good work!

[@Tubes12AX7k]

As much as I like the C8, I really wish they'd keep the C7 going as the "Corvette" and maybe make later incarnations of the C8 as a separate high performance car from Chevy. What's nice about the C7 is that it still has some of the practicality of a large trunk that you would want out of a weekend car. That makes it an easier "sell" on a spouse who may not be quite sold on it.

One of my friends sent me a note this morning saying he read in a Corvette forum that the plant where the C7 is being produced will shut down in December for 3 months and will retool for the C8.

Man those seats are nice!

[@petertamburro6578]

Chuck.....I’ll be keeping my 2018 GS until the C8 GS shows up.

[@obriantucker2256]

Looking at the thumbnail. The c7 and c2 Corvette are the best looking Corvettes ever. Its funny because if the c7 had a Ferrari badge on it, it would cost double. Depending on witch version you had.

[@Gowan08]

First post. Also my 2016 c7 z06 I love, I’m really hoping they don’t age it’s looks with a radical change to the c8 :/

[@ronnieowenssr.1419]

I agree

[@Gowan08]

Ronnie Owens Sr. In reality, it will age it. But to have the last supercharged V8 in the front will be nice. I got mine used for a really good price, so I can’t complain. The driving experience will be a classic, and hopefully the car will too! 😬

Another great Vlog Chuck! I think you hit this one out the park! Great info that made a ton of sense with the C7 and C8! These cars are way too fun to not drive and enjoy. I'm at almost 4500 mile on Blue Ice and it's a Joy every single time I drive. Sure when the C8 hits the market, folks will lose their minds. But, like you said I'm personally going to wait until at least the Z06 version comes out, or the Grand Sport. I'll let GM work out the bugs! Wifey just said. If we have to evacuate because of this storm we're taking the Vette, and the Suv!! Insurance can't promise you a new Carbon 65!! Looking fwd to next week's Vlog with Rick!! General Lee Out!

[@Corvettes918]

Greg, I hope you guys are spared but if not be safe and definitely take Blue Ice because like you said those are not easily rebuilt or replaced.

[@generallee3186]

@@Corvettes918 Thanks Chuck!

[@ronnieowenssr.1419]

Thank you chuck

[@thecarpergarage916]

Chuck, thanks for all the great work and thought that goes into your videos. I actually like the idea of an mid-engine C8 and I think it will be a welcome part of Corvette history. Just a thought, if they no longer make a front engine Corvette, wouldn’t the price of old ones go up eventually? If not, it’s ok, I still enjoy owning a wonderful car! BTW, don’t go to Carmax, they will low ball you even on a collector edition. It’s just another unit to them.

[@Corvettes918]

It’s just for a video. It’s always a good pricing point. I agree they always low ball most cars .

Chuck two of my best friends own Chevrolet dealerships they both sell about 40 new ones a year. When you say your local dealers don't have inventory it's not because they are turning down allocations. Both of my friends told me that when the plant was closed from June to November last year GM told them all the cars they sold while the plant was closed didn't count towards turn and earn allocations. Look at Rick Conti he was out buying leftovers and unwanted inventory from other dealers because he couldn't get cars for stock. If a dealer put in a sold order for anything except a ZR-1 they would pull the order and build it even without an allocation.

[@Corvettes918]

I made reference to that because my local dealer where I got my ZR1 said that unless someone came in and wanted to order a C7 they were not going to stock any outside of what they already had because of the anticipation of the C8. They had a hard time moving 2018’s even though it was a short run with the plant shut down. I think a lot of dealers are in a holding pattern when it comes to Corvettes.

[@boots_n_coots]

After the C7 goes out of production, if there is still a strong preference by some individuals for a front-engine design, the value of secondhand C7s might actually hold up quite well. We shall see...
