The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Is The Ultimate Topless American Sports Car
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- The #C8Corvette has been around for nearly 5 years and the #CorvetteConvertible is the best example yet of Chevy's new mid-engine supercar. The #Corvette went to a mid-engine layout in 2020, and #Chevrolet also decided that it was time to make the Convertible version more sleek with the inclusion of the first-ever power retractable hard top.

I love Sofyan’s reviews. I’ve been watching them for years, and his channel is one of the few I subscribe to on TH-cam. As a car owner, I can’t help but notice small errors in his reviews. For example, he mentioned a Z71 package for launch control when he meant to say Z51. However, that's incorrect as all C8s have launch control; the method to enable it differs between the Z51 and base trims. He also stated that the 2024 model doesn’t have GM’s latest infotainment software, which is not true. The 2024 model features the latest version of GM’s infotainment with Google built-in, unlike previous model years. Overall, it's still a very good review of a deserving car.
i used to hate convertibles but i have to say, the convertible version of the c8 seems very enticing - it really suits the mid engine layout. GM nailed the c8 corvette overall
best part is you can still use the trunk with the top down, can't do that with the coupe because the top stows in the trunk. Seems like a win win to me, and you can let the rear window down so you can hear the exhaust with the top up. kinda looks better too.....
You don't like the c7?
I bought one the first convertibles ever offered in 2020 and it’s been a fantastic car. Kids love to see the top go up and down.
I’ve been a MOPAR or no car consumer my entire life. Hellcats, SRTs, TRX, R/Ts and I just picked up a 24’ Convertible 3LT Z51 with Magna-ride. It’s an excellent vehicle. Get thumbs up and compliments everywhere I drive and park. GM truly built a world contender.
If you had stayed at Mopar or no car very soon you would be at no car my friend
@@marcosspenner8418 It is looking grim for the Pentastar brands. I still have my Jeeps but looking forward I just don’t see a positive trend developing
Soyfan, it’s always a pleasure watching you enjoy yourself in the Chevrolet Corvette. Every time you drive this car on camera it’s like you have come alive! It’s even fun watching you have fun in it, makes me want one so badly I’m ngl! 🔥😎
The C7 does not have oval tail lights either so people have had a DECADE to get over that . . .
Yes, and it was questionable back then too.
@@rickhunter6513 My point is that it was hardly worth the mention. Are you still annoyed at presidents Richard Nixon or Jimmy Carter? Not if you're sane. Too much water under the bridge!
@@thomosburn8740 maybe hardly worth a mention in your opinion except that it was worth a mention for you to comment on it in the first place?
to be honest I never see you be so happy like this ❤
Right!?’?!
Love this video! I truly just never click on anything having to do with electric cars. This video made my whole morning. Four years into this generation and the base stingray still puts a huge smile on Sofyan’s face
The car looks amazing in any color!!
I have the same but 23 corvette same red and convertible If you can afford it get the magnetic ride, z51, and carbon flash raised spoiler definitely worth every penny!
This is the only car channel that actually provides insightful information.
Great review sofyan
Mine is accelerate yellow with a black hard top convertible, red brake calipers, red interior and I special ordered red mirror caps which really helps make it unique. I get compliments on this car and this color every time I drive it. I’ve owned red ones before and I had red Ferrari but I just love this color combo.
Oh my goodness!!! I would consider buy this.
Very informative as usual…thankyou!!!👍
I have a 2024 2LT convertible with GT2 seats,mag ride,front lift. Love it. Note that the 2024 does have a soft close frunk. Rumor is that the 2026 will have a larger video display and there may be a change to the wall of buttons.
Is 2026 LCI or a new generation?
@@user-hi1xc3pn1e It will still be C8
My 2023 is close to the specs shown here, but 3LT, full carbon-flash roof, performance exhaust, mag ride, and two-tone natural (tan) interior. Fantastic car, especially for here in Florida. I just wish I could have had the engine appearance package like yours had, but that only became available in 2024 (there are however after-market options). Excellent review, pretty much nailed it.
I love the low wing. I love the duckbill from paragon too.
This 'Vette looks fantastic, inside and out. I Want One! Great review.
I cant wait to get mine, Z06 or Z51.
Got mines yesterday, I love it
E-Ray lol
Affordable and sports car don’t mix
Prince said it best: little red corvette. Baby, you're much too fast
Sweet! But the horrible potholes here in Dallas would KILL those tires and rims. We can’t afford good roads here in TX.
Great review. Thx Soyfan.
2 sports cars in a row?? Is it 2014-2017 again? I miss those days.
“ without breaking the bank “ 😁
Right! "Bargain basement price"...$95k
@@donsmith9458 ikr 🤣
Wondering if a refresh will come next year after the ZR1 has been produced. Very excited to see the numbers on it when it comes out.
Nice review
At last, the one of a precious few things that GM (oops! I keep forgetting!) "gm" got and continues to get right!
World class performance, world class design, middle-classed price! The creedo lives on! Wish gm would do the rest of their lines like this! (Though you're right, Sofyan; there's no excuse for those gaps or the display; Hyundai and Kia do a better job of packaging, but otherwise, outstanding car and review!) 🐰
If I ever picked up a C8 would have to be an HTC. Looks great with the top up or down. Track weapon one minutes and then a great top down for your evening drive home from the track.
Wow) The car looks amazing in any color)
It's been interesting seeing auto makers trying to make their doorhandles more aerodynamic and I have to say, this is my favorite so far.
I can see how that long button bank wouldnt be great for the passenger, but dang it looks GREAT for the driver
Rear view mirror camera is a standard on 2024 and both the frunk and trunk has soft close.
Gotta get me one
Great video. BTW you don’t need z51 for launch control
Where do you store all that information bro…(Human SD card))💪🏾…Litt
Gorgeous ❤ next on my list 😊 add to my 01 convertible (56k)
It seems like lowering the top shaves the 0-60 time a bit cool review 💯
if they update the infotainment then no more carplay right?
I have a 23 n I have ordered a 24 e ray I also have a c4 n a c6 had a c7 zo6 traded it for the 23 because it was so hard too put the power down
The C8 does have a launch control mode which would improve your 0-60 time.
the emergency hood release if the beech marten somehow gets lost in the frank….😂😂😂
Nice car. Build quality is just fantastic. But I wish there was a manual option to make the ride a lot more interesting.
Wow very nice American sportscar brand love the design the color look very nice thankyou Redline for the sharing with us all👌🙏
Beautiful car ❤️
Waiting for GM to change tail lights
Time out no launch control?
I’m curious to know why someone would buy the convertible over the coupe, being that the coupe has a removable roof. Any ideas?
Aside from you not having to physically remove the roof??? Hmmmm 🥸
Yup. I have one. I take mine on vacation and I need to put my baggage in the trunk and it wouldn’t have fit with the top in there. I also like being able to put the top up quickly if it starts to rain. Lastly I can roll down the back window and get the engine when I drive. Plus it doesn’t look like a convertible with the top up and I was able to get the top in a different color than the rest of the car and I liked that too.
@@sheneedsme oh ok. Now I see. The removable top takes up trunk space. Thanks for clarifying that.
Loaded Tacoma TRD PRO 65k, loaded mustang dark horse 75k, mid spec full size truck 70-80k, Nissan Z Nismo 70k, Supra 60k, my 23 C8 1LT was $70,265. There is no question for money which is the best enthusiast car.
C6 was the last with oval taillights. The C7’s look very similar to the C8
No one could ever make me hate you, *gm.* Y’all really put the haters in their places and put them on notice with the Chevrolet Corvette C8! The naysayers have been quiet ever since! Bravo on improving upon something that was already at the top of it’s class. 🔥😎
@BrianEugeneLee193 C8 Corvette.
Here come all the GM haters who still think it’s a junk GM product
To those haters I say you just got schooled by facts. Wheres your reliable brands answer to the corvette? Oh wait nonexistent
Exactly, even their top sports cars will never come close when it comes to performance. Also some of their top fast cars aren't even made by them. Cough! "BMW supra." GM makes reliable vehicles, especially when it comes to the big dogs. You just gotta spend a little bit more.
This is a great car hands down.
Best coupe in its price range
You can put a non z51 into launch control. Some of your information is incorrect.
The c8 is straight up insane, thank god the days of the c7 are over
🔥 Sofyan 🔥
Anyone else getting spam bots?
You're a spam bot 😂
Does has launch control
I think you had more fun in the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack!
2024 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 2LT 6.2L V8 8-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission RWD Convertible!
@BrianEugeneLee193! 2024
@BrianEugeneLee193! C8
@BrianEugeneLee193! I think is right!
What modern exotic sport cars come with fog lights
The bank has been broken
I’m waiting ten more years to buy one of these used.
looks cool but my OCD cannot overlook the fact that the side mirrors are not the same length on both sides. the passenger side is longer and it drives me crazy that i found that out.
You will never, never even be aware of this in the real world.
What size are the mirrors on that public bus you use???
Someday.... 😀
Did you ever notice that the hood is shaped like a stingray
I just dont like the interior design. Is it the great wall of usa? 😅
I have a 2024 Z06 and love the wall. Very user friendly.
Cmon gm, push that v8 over the 500 hp mark from the factory. Get it done.
I'm must not seeing that big of a difference between the coupe and convertible when the tops are down from a passenger perspective.
3.4 seconds 0-60 is a amazing number
not after evs came up). my tesla model y family mini suv is 4.8 seconds.
It's a great time to be alive
@@nt5898Yeah, I know. I'm a Tesla man, too. But the Corvette is a toy, and a nasty V8 is perfect.
(My only gripe with this car is that it's about a hundred feet wide. )
Tesla's doing fast 0-60 is the most mundane, boring thing I can think of. I prefer to drive slower cars that don't feel like iPads with wheels.
@@Aki_Lesbrinco hm, i feel contrary when i leave 95% cars on the road in the dust)
C8 convertible or LC500 convertible?
I saw a TH-cam review comparing the two and they chose the C8 after driving both.
Depends on what you are looking for. Lexus IS a luxury sporty coupe. Also no hard top convertible.
Vette is true mid engine sports coupe with superior acceleration and handling.
How does he not know how to activate launch control
Driving as many cars as he does… cut him some slack
What this car needs is a 100HP Electric motor mated to the V8 to boost the HP to 595 HP and launch the car off the line to 3.0 sec 0 - 60, And greatly improve the MPG.
Well…. The Z06 is 670 Hp and 0-60 in 2.6. So….. there ya go…
Try the frunk again - it DOES soft close. 🤭
Since when is 100k car “bargain basement price” and “not break the bank”? Such a nice car but man even a stingray vette is officially a 100k car 😢
can't afford a C8 so I bought a New Camaro 1SS convertible ...
Still a great vehicle, best of luck with it, last of a dying breed 👍🏽
Whaddaya say, folks? Should GM build a
If they ever make a trim with a 4cyl engine it will still cost a lot more than $40k. There's no way that the V8 powertrain alone adds $40k to the cost of the car.
So much better than anything Tesla makes
I have a Tesla and the C8 and the love both cars equally
I've never really been a fan of the interior. That long row of buttons, and ridge between the driver and passenger, will require a complete revision to get a larger screen. But more than that, I would think the passenger would experience some level of claustrophobia.
My wife says, “no.” She likes it.
Alcantara is a waste, especially on the steering wheel. This car is amazing
These vettes are all over in Florida where I live and majority of them wait to be driven to the gulf course or Publix on a Saturday morning by some retired old Jim Bob guy so they ruined this car for me because they all drive like they drive a Prius and you never get to hear how good it actually sounds
Me being old ruins the car for you. Okay then 😅
You should at least enjoy the sight of me trying to claw my way out of the driver's seat on hands and knees
Great review. But kinda underwhelming for $100k.
Underwhelming for 100k? I’ve seen a far worse car that’s 100k but SIGNIFICANTLY slower
Yeah, I'll be getting 15 MPG. You don't get a Corvette for efficiency. I'll get a Camry for that.
Anyone 6'7" tall and fit in this?
breaking the bank depends on your income ..... most C8 Corvettes in my area are $100,000+ ... I make good money and my wife makes great money and we can't afford a C8 ....
Breaking the bank is a relative phrase, but compared to it’s competition (rear/mid engine cars, e.g., Porsche, McClaren, Ferrari, & Lambo) the entry level Stingray is a great performance bargain. I've seen used low milage C8s in the mid 60k to 70k range. I never considered corvette until the current mid engine C8 version came to market. I was considering a Porsche 911 Turbo S which was about $215k compared to my 2023 2LT HTC, Z51 w/magna ride at $93k. Given its performance even with the old tech NA 6.2L pushrod V8, it’s a performance bargain.
I have an unhealthy level of disgust for those wheels
Chevy should bring back the 5.7 with a DOHC Setup and make it a high revving engine for the base Corvette
Quick isnt the purpose of the car, it is merely a result. A 992 Carrera S may be quicker in acceleration , but a Z51 Stingray is a FASTER track car on MOST road courses and the Nurburgring which MATTERS a whole lot for intent of design. A somewhat joke optioned 992 Carrera S is a 150,000 dollar car and is only equal to a 2LT C8 if that for features.
Still havent warmed up to the C8s styling. its so disjointed looking. Rear looks so bad. C7 still looks better overall
It is a better looking car for younger generations, Chevy nailed it.
Where do you come up with your numbers? Top speed is 194 mph and 0-60 probably 3.0 vs 2.8. 25 mpg x 18.5 = 462 miles, not 350. Launch control has nothing to do with z51 and is standard with all versions. You repeat this over and over. Performance exhaust is $1195, not $2000! Do your damn homework!

I don't understand why Chevrolet thinks black dash and headliner or totally black interior in almost all model's is cool. Looks cheap and an easy way out.
2024's still having transmission problems like those before it? Buyer beware.
When will we get an EV Corvette? 🤔
It’s out. E-Ray
Corvettes now aren't affordable sports cars, they are geared towards rich folks
Yup, very sad to see. Even a lot of the previous generation is going for over $60,000. One of my biggest dreams in life was to buy this car for my dad, but I guess that won't be happening anytime soon.
I hate to break it to you but Vettes have never been cheap and always for cash rich. Camaro was the affordable one.
@@paulm6481 Camaros aren't affordable either they are over $40k. That's why gm killed it again no one was buying them. If car sells why why would the discontinued it.
@paulm6481 See the issue for me though isn't the $60,000-$75,000 MSRP. It's the fact that they are going for so much higher than that price. I'm seeing used 2020 1LT Coupes going for $80,000, this is a $59,000 car...
@@randomdude4304 as long stupid people are willing to pay and have money to burn for these overpriced cars. Why would they lower it.
So over this car. Not interested anymore.
Agreed. Chevy dropped it at an ideal price point. Now I’m not quite sure it’s worth it anymore.
Yet, you still clicked on this video and for that, we thank you!
I never thought Chevrolet could build a Corvette that was so awful It made me wish they would discontinue it but here we are
You can’t afford it anyways.
@UALHVY I wouldn't be buying a chevrolet fake fit Ferrari when they already built decades worth of real corvette that perform on the same level as a ferrari
What the hell are those wheels?!?! If they are gonna copy ferrari minus well copy the wheel
Options too? Smh.
No interest until they offer a manual transmission
Oh, is that what's holding you back chuckles? 🤡
Talk slower
I don't care what Chevrolet says that is not a convertible. It's a targa.
There’s always at least one person in the comment section trying to “educate” *gm* on their own product(s). Always at least ONE fool lol. 🤦🏽♂️
The regular coupe is a targa. This is a convertible
I have a Miata RF Club, having owned several soft tops. I don’t consider the RF a convertible, a completely different experience with their tops down. The RF and this Vette are retractable fastbacks.
Well you would be completely wrong. It’s definitely a hardtop convertible. I own one I know.
@@sheneedsme ….hardtop convertible = retractable fastback
This thing is just so overstyled the lines and angles on this are all screw up. The new lotus emira lines all blend together to make a beautiful auto this vette is just freakin ugly and that interior what the hell were they thinking. I don't care if it had 1000hp and beat everything it's fukin ugly!
it reminds me of the Stealth fighter.
Heinously ugly.
Lotus’ styling is a mess in comparison. Hater *hater* HATER, in the comments, how’d you get in here so early??
@G-Rated get your eyes checked the Lotus is smooth and every panel blends with the next just like italian and German sports cars. The vette looks
Ike someone took a Ferrari and put it into a auto crusher machine and when they opened it you now have the new vette.
@@991carreras3 that must be why you rushed here to see the Corvette’s review? Because the Lotus is done correctly, right? Lol. 😂
