The Split Window Car is the antithesis for ALL players in the car game! It's not the way I'd do a C8, BUT WOAH, PROPS for him doing it his way and his thang! YOUR CAR is your personal gift for what you've worked for and what YOU want to do with it! I just love his enthusiasm!
That Cameleon Gold C8 is off the charts! The owner must have a fortune wrapped up in IT. Hence his Vanity Plate of "NO MONEY." 🤣 I always love your Drone footage. OUTSTANDING Mike! 👍👍 Maybe it's me, but were the Vettes in line by generation? I thought THAT is definitely the way to park/show Vettes at a big gathering. Things are always bigger in Texas. 🤣 I love the Time Traveller C7! WHOA! Also love the Tweedy Edition Vette! OUTSTANDING! 👍👍 The Split Window C8 is absolutely bonkers! Love it! 👍👍 Lastly, I love all the Vettes you highlighted! To see through your mind's eye is as good if not better than may own eye. Especially the C3's which was the beginning of the onset of NGCA in 1971! "Have Vette Will Travel" was our motto. That C3Ontario Orange Wide-body is an absolute turn on for me! Yes Mike, That One is my favorite. But you probably already knew that. 😉 As to the C2's, did you know that the only year the side pipes were a factory option was in 1965. Of course, once those were released a lot of C2 owners went to their dealers and ordered them. With the chambered exhaust setup, those pipes were frigg'n loud and drowned out any C3's with factory side exhaust. Going back to the C3's, do you know what was the last year of the vertical rear-window? It's 1977. On the C1's, that C1 with the LS7 in it is a true sleeper in that it looks like it's stock. I'm sure he's suckered a lot of guys who want to race and then it's all over but the screaming and shouting. 🤣 In closing, this has been the best 30 minutes I've had in a very long time. Thank you for this upload Mike. God Bless and have a blessed week. Peter
This is an amazing Corvette Show. I may be somewhat in limited company here, but I think Corvettes are beautiful cars as they are. I prefer the ones that have not been overly accessorized or overly modified. All original look with functional improvements is the way to go IMHO. Love the Admiral and Elkhart Lake Blue C7 and C8's.
2019 Elkhart Lake Blue ZR1 is BEAUTIFUL! Sorry guys, I’m into the “Stock Colors”, not into custom wraps. (Although until I see Cacti in person, I’ll hold off on my negative comments that Chevy made a Big Mistake!) But, my opinion doesn’t matter! It’s what appeals to you. It’s your car, make it your’s by making it one of a kind!!!
This was awesome! Some of those were like wtf! Haaa! So much passion and work put into them. Thanks for the ZR1’s too! My fav, I want a C4 ZR1 so bad! I got a C3 that matches my C7 ZR1 so now I need a C4 as well! You 🤘 BOS!
I saw you filming down there, it was a hot day! My favorites were that LS7 C1, the dark green NCRS 67 427 tri-power, and I'm with you, if I had an allocation I would have went for one of those 70th Anniversary Z06's, too!
I loved tweety bird. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching. I would have loved to see an insert of a photo for best of show, although i know carollyn won best of show with a C2, i couldn’t remember which was her car
Loving the channel bro. Im curious, why do a lot of C3s have that metal rack on the trunk. Looks like a bike rack of some sort. Is it for groceries lol? Someone please explain its usage. Thx!
I have the caffeine metallic with natural dipped interior (3LT) and bronze. The positive feedback I receive for the colors almost daily is just fantastic. Although taste is personal, anybody who says they don't like the caffeine metallic has not seen it in its full potential. Oh, and btw, only a few hundred of those are made... Truly unique... Much better than standard white... black... red... blue... meh...
I got a Text from my Salesperson today: WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO COME OUT AND BUILD MY ERAY? I’m #1 on their E-Ray List! The wife and I need to decide if we are going to Build an E-Ray or wait how long for a ZO6 allocation. I’m #4 for a ZO6 and one has received an allocation. MIKE WHAT DO YOU THINK? What to do?
Received a call from my sales guy to come down and put a deposit for an early allocation he has for an E-Ray , but with a $15K premium over MSRP. Told him, I'll wait for the other dealers to call me. I have nothing but time and this premium would put me at $160K plus...I'll wait since I already have a great 2021 Red Mist HTC. Good luck.
@@nrdemon1031 Steve, I always say run the numbers to people. I need to do that for myself and as I think you’re aware, I’m on Chemo for Pancreatic Cancer and in August, I’ll start my fifth year of treatment (On 2 weeks off 2 weeks). So, I’m literally fighting for my life; how much time is left, only God knows. I have the 2022 HTC and have like 1478 miles on it. Not even broken in yet. It seems like every day is a struggle. I’ve lost 40-50 pounds and feel so weak! So although I have first dibs on the ERAY, is it practical to buy it? I’m not a “Flipper”, but if something bad happens, I’d either be selling it or my wife would. It’s a lot of money to tie up in vehicles, the only saving grace is the demand staying strong for C8s, that the resale value stays high, $90,315 MSRP plus $5,500 in Taxes & Fees. Plus the PPF, Ceramic Coating $7,800 & $529 for the ACS Rock Guards. So getting what I have in it, out of it or better would be important, but dealerships and people will not want to consider the mods. Wife still seems “timid” to drive the C8. I think the Blind Spots are an issue. Thanks for your input Maybe I provided too much information, but I trust your judgement and experience. My daily driver was used over the weekend and I’ve driven it for the last several years without problems. Give it to the relatives to drive for 3 days and they have to jump a 2 year old battery and get a flat tire. The spare has been under the vehicle since 2006. Almost 155,000 miles on it. Might be time to part with it! Need to downsize, my situation is. I can’t take care of the entire fleet as much as I’d like to. 2022 HTC, 2016 Explorer, 2013 328 BMW, 2011 F250 Snowplow Duty, 2009 Mustang GT and the 2006 Explorer Additionally, it’s not a car for her, but she’s the one in a way it’s being purchased for her. She wants a Riptide Blue HTC. She’s near the end of her career as a Family Practice Physician and it may be more Horsepower than she could comfortably handle. She’s not a car person, she’s an SUV person. She’s been in an Explorer since 1995. I think she is promoting the purchase of a second C8 “as something for me to pursue and live for”. Sure, I’d like to have an ERAY, but really I want a ZO6! I’m #4 on the ZO6 list, but the local dealership gets very few ZO6 allocations. I’m about in the same situation at MacMulkin, I went from 1351 last week to 1333 today. (Started at 1673 on November 21, 2021) Some progress at both dealerships, but perhaps years to go. It might be best to wait and enjoy the Stingray HTC and see what happens with the ZO6. Deal or No Deal? My health really prevents me from doing even simple things. Their are other health issues and other considerations. My son has Med School loans that are in the ZR1 price range. He’s working as a Hospitalist and on Every Other Week… 26 on and 26 off. We have no other kids and intend to help him out some. He’s not a car guy (Ok, I can’t explain it, where did I go wrong? Damn video games!!! I’ve always had a Muscle Car or a Corvette since 1973. At least he likes my type of Classic Rock Music.) He’s driving a 2013 Crosstrek and probably will be getting another car soon. We did well in jointly selecting a house for him in NJ. According to Zillow, it’s doubled in value in 4 years. He may decide to come home to PA to work here, but just signed a 2 year contract. The Hospitalists work 12 hour shifts. He can make good money working extra shifts to fill in on weeks off for other doctors at $200 to $400 per hour!! Got to say that’s Sweet!!! I’d like to consider the ERAY and will see what I can do Price Wise! Run the numbers and figure things out!
Lambo doors on any vette is an abomination. The chameleon c8 looks beyond disgusting. I like nothing about it. The fake split window c8 is vomit worthy and the owner is cringe. The tweety and deadpool vette are cringe. Any vette with a clown-show wrap is cringe. A few monochromatic wraps in flat black/gray were ok but that vette show makes me want to sell my C7 and get a 911 or at least call 911. These vettes I mentioned and a few others bring shame upon the vette community- surprised you didn’t highlight a C4 with Autozone fake fender vents, plastichrome body side moldings and cheesy pinstripe patterns with autozone fake-chrome exhaust tips, deluxe floor mats, shift knob and steering wheel cover with red accents
I concur with everything you said 🤣... I don't understand why someone would Drop $3,000 bucks of their hard earned money on door hinges so their vette doors can open vertically which even for Lambos, only looks good on maybe a couple models at best... $3Gs on door hinges 🙄, when that amount and some change could get you a PAIR of 62mm to 67mm Precision Turbos for your vette and end up having fun driving, instead of spending 3 Racks to scream out for attention " Hey everyone, look at me getting outta my car" ... I dunno about you but I was just trying to figure out the thousands of dollars spent on bad and Tacky ✌🏻mods✌🏻 throughout that entire show ... Those are all the outcomes of a Corvette when a guy calls himself a "Gear-Head" yet 98% of their mods install with 3M Tape or requires them removing all of their factory Engine Caps and replace them all with the chrome replacement cap engine dress-up kit that they dropped like $400 bucks on 💁♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Let me know which Corvette is your favorite below!
All! Haa! My dream Vette collection right there all in one spot! minus a couple lol. Great vid
Tweety Bird
The white one with the exhaust sounded great and the split window was really done well but nothing like the C6 ZR1
That's my dad with the split window if you look in his picture you will see me ❤

Yep, I think I kind of figured you would love all the ones that you commented on. I’m so happy you enjoyed this. Take care Peter. 😊🙌
Thank you MIke. 🙏
Mike, there isn’t a bad looking car at that whole show What a great show.
I grew up in the 80s, so I have a thing for the C4.
Smashed !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice 1963 Red LS3 Resto Mod!!!

Glad to see all the c1-c3 cars, love the orange wide body.
Heck yeah man, they are such beautiful vettes!
That Spiderman car was pretty cool.
😊👍
Corvette heaven👼
That C4 ZR-1 is the Medium Quasar Blue Metallic. Option for 1990-93. ;)
Thank you Robert, it was so beautiful! 😍
Want it!
Good job Mike. Which car won?
Appreciate it ❤. Got some ideas.
Black Widow C8 - love it!
I still Love Red Mist. IMO, one of the Best Colors EVER!!!
The white car is absolutely stunning!!!

The wheels on that chameleon chrome c8 were Corleone Forged. Right out of Texas
Say how can I find out when these corvette events are happening?
Love seeing the C3s
I loved tweety bird. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching.
I would have loved to see an insert of a photo for best of show, although i know carollyn won best of show with a C2, i couldn’t remember which was her car
C4 ZR1 looks to be the quasar blue metallic.
Same color as my 1992 Z28
Loving the channel bro. Im curious, why do a lot of C3s have that metal rack on the trunk. Looks like a bike rack of some sort. Is it for groceries lol? Someone please explain its usage. Thx!

Nice do you know where he got the frunk red cover?
$6400 is 1963 dollars is around $64,000 today so pretty close to a 1LT C8

Hey Mike! Question....What brand and size tires do you have on your C8?
Weren’t as many cars this year it seems?
do you have info on where that dude got the split window overlay? thanks.
Google “C8 split window appliqué” there is numerous suppliers. I have it on my rapid blue C8.
That car is gaudy
great video. my mid engine bro👍
Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed it.
window splitter has been available for some time now
So true. I have it on my rapid blue vett. Makes no sense for him to lie about it. Numerous suppliers including Walmart and Amazon.
Dude with the blue ZR1 calls it a 1LT????
You see any 69 l88
One can go too far, and some of these cars were taken too far. To each his own but yikes 😬
I don't think sticking a piece of plastic on top of the glass counts as a split window.
I think it’s a lot of weight added with zero benefits. I also know some people like cartoon cars and stickers. To each their own.
black widow is too clean. u have to be different forsho
