The Most Confusing Supercar Ever. // Corvette E-Ray Review

The 2024 Corvette E-Ray has All-Wheel-Drive and 650HP from a 6.2L V8 and an electric motor. But does it still have the soul of a Vette? And better yet, does it outshine the C8 Z06?

I've driven all 3 C8s. This is the most old man cruiser for sure. The regular C8 rides damn near as well as a Cadillac, the Z06 is Porsche-like, stiff as it needs to be but still somehow nice. The E-Ray is inbetween, the acceleration is ridiculous, ride is good, and the AWD is a genuinely different feel in corners. For the price its a steep ask imo.

[@user-qx2gp2om9s]

I'll take slightly soft in trade for a decent AWD surety....

[@braydenbro9247]

@@user-qx2gp2om9s Decent AWD... kinda. Its essentially sending like 20% of power to the front. Its no Audi, but its enough to help in snow or ice

[@CarswithMiles]

There aren't many other V8 sports cars that offer this cars performance at under $120K. I think it's an incredible performance value

[@danieldickerson4838]

The E-Ray doesn’t really outshine or usurp the Z06, because it’s just so different from the latter. The Z06 potentially being the last production N/A FPC V8 we ever see makes it wholly special, and it’s a proper pure bred race car, per what Misha has spoken about it. The E-Ray is your GT super car of the Corvette pantheon, the car for someone who just wants to chill, but will have more than enough power to smash most other cars on the road. It’s a better NSX, essentially. What GM have done so far is offer considerably different flavors of Corvette for their customers, similar to Porsche in a way. Want a great all around sports car that you can daily? The Stingray is perfect for that. Want a raw, emotional, and unbelievably fast track war machine? Get the Z06. Want more of a luxury grand tourer with gobs of power everywhere? The E-Ray fits the bill. And, I’m sure the ZR1 will be your GT2/GT2 RS of Corvettes, like it’s always been; a brutal powerhouse. It’s an approach that’s working incredibly well for GM so far. If only they could build enough of them!

[@CarswithMiles]

Great take!

[@cbmccray]

Hey Miles, I don’t know quite how I’ve been missing you (because I check out just about every c8 corvette channel on KZbin) but I have to say your communication skills and content are the best I’ve ever run across! Please keep your content coming!!!( … a new subscriber)

[@CarswithMiles]

Thank you! More to come 🙌🏾

[@_VelociDad]

Glad you got to review the E-Ray! You can actually order a clear window engine bay cover from GM now. Love the channel - keep up the great work!

[@TotalLifeVictoryTV]

Yup. The ZZ3 Appearance Package.

[@speedandpowernl]

I would drive this, if it ever came to the Netherlands. We have crazy Co2-taxes, so this would make it probably a lot cheaper.

[@egonpax]

Excellent review! Just something to keep in mind about the convertible vs coupe (whether it’s the standard Stingray, Z06, or E-Ray), when you have the roof off in the coupe and and store it in the trunk you lose a lot of your trunk space to the roof panel. When the convertible is open and roof is down, you don’t lose that trunk space.

[@Fred-vy1hm]

This is the perfect corvette for Canada imo. 🤔

[@CarswithMiles]

🤔

[@divyamthakur]

Excited for all the upcoming videos

[@techguy76]

I think I actually like this modern version Batmobile.... it's the best looking of the C8s and with the hard top convertible... Corvette may have created an unexpected hero!

[@TotalLifeVictoryTV]

The Eray! Great review of this “decoupled axle” of a vehicle. Two axles speaking to each other by software ONLY. Phenomenal tech! “Podiumed” P2 in FAT International Ice Race in Aspen, Feb 2024. Thanks for posting. I’m new to the channel. Love it! I’ll be back!

[@BitterCarGuy]

Good review

[@divyamthakur]

More longform content FTW! You're my favourite reviewer rn

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Very possibly the best GT car in the world right now regardless of price. Its still the GTLM mass produced chassis with literally every feature imaginable, and it all works like a Swiss watch. Y chassis cars are technically unbeatable from the time the frame is made. GMs magride in combination with spring rate is all you have to know how to tune these cars. GM is giving so much regardless of price, that its inconceivable the engineering that went into these vehicles.

[@Destroyer995X]

Quite intriguing

[@advaitBA]

Hey dude, I think the sound editing on this video was probably little bit under par, maybe bring Ellis or DIY. Everything else is dope though.

[@CarswithMiles]

Could you breakdown what you mean here? I'm always looking to improve

[@advaitBA]

@@CarswithMilesI think around the 10:30 mark, the background music and the car sound was little too much interfering with your voice. I know you want to showcase how the car sounds, but I think that can be done in parts with less speech. And you know, I’ve heard you on the studio channel as well, there the it sounds much more natural or maybe more rich I guess. I’m not a sound editor or anything, but that’s just what I noticed. The new video is much better in that regards I must say.

[@user-lz3zt8iq4f]

I genuinely have a question. Has sitting in a rimac nivera ruined or worsened ur experience in sitting in other quick cars

[@CarswithMiles]

It's just given me more perspective on what's possible

[@kpv123]

I'll take the eRay any day of the week, and so will most people. The reason is the fun of driving the car is you're getting off the line, and it does it better than a z06. The other side is it rides better than the Z06, which GM even says is made more for a track type of car than a daily driver. ERay brakes are also better.

[@KRGruner]

E-Ray comes STANDARD with carbon ceramic brakes. So that might come in as a consideration when comparing pricing to the Z06 (where those are a very costly option).

[@kinggor555hk]

Between base 911, FBO M4 AWD, stock GTR or this E-Ray, which one is a better pick?

[@CarswithMiles]

Definitely E-Ray

[@PresidentJackBauer]

I'd take this over the Z06. I'd almost never go to a track.

[@Drrck11]

As much as I love Corvettes, I'd have to pass on the E- Ray.

[@vittoriobencivenga]

the E-Ray imo is the best looking C8, I'd like to see someone putting the ZR1's engine innit when it gets released, it'll be quite literally an American Koenigsegg type of shi

[@dlj1285]

That’s not saying much given that they’re all pretty much an over styled disaster in design. But other than that, yeah, sure…

[@vittoriobencivenga]

@@dlj1285 1st yes the C8 is ugly, but specifically the E-Ray acc looks like a proper car should and excluding the back side it actually looks good, it's also not over styled compared to the other trims, but yeah, factory-ish American Koenigsegg

[@AceAspirant]

Woah, first person to watch. Woohoo! 🎉

[@msledge50]

I thought the electric motor was under the center console.

[@karmasai]

The battery for the motor is under the center console along the driveshaft tube.

[@JayTeeRC]

👀

[@NoChaserNoChaser504]

The ERay is definitely the most TubeSock New Balance version

[@phillipallendreher6726]

Cry me a river!

[@thehandleishothott]

It does not look good. Subjective but this gen aged pooly. The rear was always hideous

[@dlj1285]

It’s so bad.

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Subjective being the active word. I think it looks great especially in person.
