I just ordered my C8, I went with the 1LT with the Z51 package! It made the most sense to me, I didn’t see the need to spend the extra money for 2LT or 3LT. I’m also in VA and this is my first Corvette!! Awesome videos!!

Must haves on C8s: 2LT, GT2 seats, and mag ride. Z51 only if you are going to track the car. Front lift can be very useful, depends on where you live/how you use the car.

Mark, I've been enjoying your videos for a good while. Anyway, I used to have a C4 and then bought a C5 '01 from the factory with the Z51 Package (6 spd) which I recently traded in this 23yr old C5 (with only 31K miles on her) for a new C8 1LT Torch Red (non Z51) at a local dealership in Chesapeake about a week and half ago. Just loving it. Well, I hated doing it, but I had them put the front license plate bracket on I really believes it screws up the front appearance of the C8. I used to run my C5 withouth a front plate...but I got stopped twice by VA Beach (where I live) police years ago for no front plate...so I caved in and put the front plate on it. Well, I've noticed that you and your buddy on this video run your C8's without the front plate. Have you had any problems? BTW, I'm retired Navy. Shipmate, your thoughts about the front plate? Thanks, Mark

great video. We have a 2023 3LT HTC non Z51 with mag ride, performance exhaust, front lift, and low spoiler and splitter. We have the top down whenever it is not raining no matter how cold or hot it gets so we appreciate not losing trunk space for our top. The only mechanical noise we hear is from the exhaustsince we can roll down the back window even when the top is up. The other plus is we don't have 2 rear windows and an engine compartment to clean because i would rather drive it than spend my time cleaning it. I think the ability to see the engine with the coupe is great, it looks very nice.

The rear view camera mirror takes a little while to get used to. The reason is that when you look at a regular rear view mirror, your eyes habitually change to distance focus, but the camera display is an LCD display that needs close vision. I found that 2 driving sessions of 1 hour each with the camera mirror display is all that my brain needed to change to close focus when I looked up at it.

I replaced my 2020 2lt coupe with a HTC 1lt z51 mag ride. Difference is HUGE! cant say if its mainly mag ride or the combination but the body roll alone makes the drive much sportier and pleasant. The HTC is also a must have imo, yes you can move the targa top but lack of rear window makes it very noisy at higher speeds.

Great job! Next you need to compare a coupe to and HTC. Perhaps my hearing is bad, the engine noises you guys talked about I can't say I hear. Like you the rear view mirror took a little time to get used to. On a HTC the rearview is regular mirror with the top down, at might height I need to just the mirror going from top down to top up because of the glare on the mirror in screen mode. Mine is a non-Z51 with mag ride. Its amazing how much the car tightens up going from tour to track. It rides like a different car.

Trust me, some stuff are just "nice to haves" depending on how you drive your Vette. I only cruise. I have a 2023 2LT HTC with Z51, mag ride, front lift and GT2 seats. I was afraid of not getting something and wishing I had it later. I paid $98k for mine out of fear : ) I got mine in Feb2023 and already have 8500 miles on it. I LOVE DRIVING IT AND CAN'T STAY OUT OF IT. I find simple reasons to get in it just to drive it. It's the way it makes you feel when you drive it. My personal opinion on what I felt I could have done without; i don't use heated/cooled seats, HUD is no big deal to me, and I don't think Z51 was necessary (why do I need summer only tires for cruising???) They should have given me the option for all season tires but they don't. They slide a lot when they are cold (the dashboard lets you know the temperature of your tires; pretty cool). MUST HAVE's FOR ME ARE: HTC! Nothing feels better than to hit a button and watch the roof transform!!! I've been told twice by people in traffic, "Now You Are Just Showing Off" when I retract the roof. As you are walking up to it, you can activate it with your remote, so folks are in amazement that you can operate the HTC remotely. ALSO to note: I hear talk about hating to hear engine noises. With the HTC, it must not be as bad because I don't hear anything that bothers me to a point of noticing it. I'm glad I got the front lift memory so I don't have to worry about activating it when I get to my driveway. It does it automatically when you approach the location. I destroyed a $800 front splitter already because I didn't activate the front lift in a location when I should have. So with the knowledge I have now of the options, I suggest sacrificing everything else to get the HTC first. Secondly, 2LT (you will wish you had the camera rear view mirror, it doesn't come with 1LT). I never planned on racing so the Z51 package was only good for being able to lower my vehicle without needing lowering springs. If you plan on adding twin turbos later, go with the Z51 package. This video doesn't compare mag ride vs none mag ride, and I have not ridden in one without it, so I can't speak to if mag ride is necessary.

3LT HTC Z51, GT2 mag ride & lift are mandatory for me. The Blue interior is only available in 3LT. Mandatory options, cameras & blind spot monitoring, the Z51 for added braking & cooling plus the shorter final for 0-60's. Front lift due to the massive curbs here. Magride is soooo nice. The PDR for track and accident stuff.

I get stopped ALL THE TIME by people in love with the car. It's not a daily driver but could easily be one. So comfortable and easy to drive. 2LT is a MUST have. 1LT doesn't cut it and 3LT is a waste of money for what you get. 2LT is it. Period.

My ‘24 C8 1LT with no options came off the line on 9/22/23 with an MSRP of $67,895. My exact same car 10 days later now has an MSRP of $69,995! GM raised prices effective 10/1/23. Also, my ‘24 1LT now has the rear view camera mirror standard. I’m only at 450 miles, but can’t imaging not having it already. Yes, it takes my eyes a second to adjust when I use it, but the view is so much better than just using the glass mirror IMO. It was well worth the 13 month wait since my 1st deposit!

I have a C8 and there is no issue with blind spots - if you set your mirrors properly (this is true with almost all cars and trucks). Most people habitually set their side mirrors so that they see the side of their car - that causes blind spots. Set the mirrors to point further out - a good technique is to put your head against the side window, set the mirror so that you can just see the side of the Corvette, and then when you re-position yourself to the driving position, your mirror will point such that the blond spot is eliminated. It'll feel weird, but it does eliminate the blind spot. Here is how to test it and use it: look into the rear view mirror as someone passes you. The moment you can not longer see them in the rear view mirror (even with the restricted view out the C8 rear window), you should see them appear in your side mirror. When they get right next to you, you'll be able to see them with your peripheral vision without moving your eyes much. You'll just need to get into the habit that when you change lanes, you first check the rear view mirror and then the side mirror.

Need to chime in ... i drove both non z51 & z51 ... for a week on each ... i think these guys did more talking then comparing ... This is fact ... z51 ... feels alot stiffer at slower speeds 0 to 50 ... & the tires on the z 51 are dangerous in the rain & do not grip ... now the z 51 feels alot better from 50 to 150 mph.. & absorbed the bumps alot better at high speed & car did not jump ... when slot car ( side to side when your passing & whipping into lanes .. ( no body roll at all on z51 .. ) & or hair pin turns ... ( no body roll ) .. & the tires on z51 ( dry ) are really sticky & are a little stiffer but in a good way .... non z51 ... excessive body roll on sweepers & hair pin & especially slot driving ) there is no less then 40 % more body roll on non z51 ... softer ride by at least 20 % on 0 to 50 mph ... ( non z51 ) .. tires are amazing in rain ( non z51 ) & 20 % less grip in dry .. & softer ride untill you go past 50 mph ... over and beyond it actually feels not as smooth & car jumps a litttle & doesnt take bumps as well at high speed ... This is real life comparison & spending time on road conditions without alot of talk & a week of driving both vehicle's ... one more mention ... the brakes are def stopping better z 51 & temperature of car stays at 185 deg & never went over 196... & the non z 51 the fans came on alot to cool engine compartment & non z51 was driving at 225 deg to 230 deg ... they run hotter ( but those high temperature on non z51 is normal ... witout the extra cooling feature as the z 51 comes with ...

Z51 is FINE in the rain. The tires are fine. I picked up my Z51 and had a 500 mile drive home from the dealership. In that 500 miles I drove roughly 150~ miles in a heavy rain storm. I toggled to weather mode and never gave it a second thought. Zero issue. The car did fine and didn't require me to slow down. I continued at a solid 70-75 through. Some people struggle 🤷‍♂️ it's a driver confidence thing more than a vehicle performance issue. Get out and drive!

So it was have your car in 90 days or maybe 6 months 🤷🏼‍♂️. Who knew. Doesn't matter. My E-Ray will be here in the fall. Now if you hardcore track your car the Z51 is a must for the trans cooling. If I go to the track I take my Z06. My C8 is a cruiser for me.

The body of the C7Z is 1" wider than a C8 Stingray. It's the Stingrays crazy long side mirrors (mid-engine) that make it overall wider than a C7Z.

Respectfully without the Z 51 package the car sounds a bit gay the Z 51 package is an absolute must for nothing else. Just the sound. Those are turned off by the gas mileage Lindsay 51 Never Dr. that car without being in manual mode you can always drive a gear high. You’ll get better mileage than 50 being driven in normal automatic drive mode. 51 is a must in my humble opinion

You can upgrade the exhaust without adding the Z51 package from the factory to the NPP performance exhaust. Which I did. To make the car "less gay" how you elegantly put it.

@@_Car_Ideas Not talking about the interior. I agree the C8 has a way better looking interior. I'm just saying that as some angles (from the back) I look at my C8 HTC and think WTF where they smoking. At other angles the C8 Looks Awesome. But the heart of my comment is that the exterior of the C7 (especially the Z06) OMG Beautiful. (except for the nose of the ZR1). Would I ever trade my C8 for any version of the C7 - FRACK NO !!!!!

Its hilarious how many none-z51 owners go out of their way to make themselves feel better.. This is as pointless as making a video about what's better between a $50 bill and a $100 bill. All over social media are none-z51 owners telling themselves that their cars are the faster better performer.

It fits the bill unfortunately.. Around 5:30 they brag about how they can afford the c8, completely oblivious to how ridiculous that sounds, and even more oblivious that their positions/career are the lowest paid positions. The nonz51 guys that think their cars are faster than z51 are the same folks who get goosebumps when people think their car cost Ferrari money. Its because relative to their compensation it is.
