The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Is The Ultimate Topless American Sports Car

- 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 took delivery of my C8 yesterday, Eckard blue with black interior, convertible, I did buy the one LT and all in I got is for 69K,,all I need,, at that price I got the real deal sports 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.
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! 🔥😎
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
@@Cali4rniadreaming 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
.... Why do you like mopar you never served in world war 2 You're just driving your grandfather's car.. ice..... Hybrids are the future.... Do you drive drunk?😂
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.
He's been corrected on the "no launch control" thing a long time ago - and acknowledged it! C'mon.
The Frunk should also be a soft close on the 2024.
to be honest I never see you be so happy like this ❤
Right!?’?!
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?
All C8s have launch control. You don't have the as many options for traction control without the Z-51 package, but if you put the car in sport or track mode and hold the ABS button for 2 seconds you can choose the sport PTM option (or set it in the 'Z' mode and just press the Z button) this will turn on launch control. Also the HTC versions are also fully capable of 2.9sec 0-60. Due to the structural bolstering of the center channel, they didn't need to add additional reinforcement to the car as many convertibles do. The HTC is only about 80 pounds heavier than the Coupe. It is not significant enough to effect the 0-60. The weather and your altitude is a bigger factor than those 80 pounds.
I’ve only been able to get into launch control in Track Mode which makes the steering stiff.
I just subscribed literally because of our thorough and honest your review is you're the only person to mention such little bad things that are not noticeable or mentioned by many but gives the consumer knowledge to make an informative decision❤❤❤
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.
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
He wasn't patient enough to let it close by itself I guess...
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
This 'Vette looks fantastic, inside and out. I Want One! Great 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.
We love our 2023 3LT HTC non-Z51 Arctic White with magnetic ride, front lift, performance exhaust, front splitter, black exhaust tips, two tone (black/red) interior and carbon flash painted top, nacelles, low spoiler, mirrors, intake blades, and wheels is the perfect car for us. We will never track it and it’s capable of more performance than we will ever need. Our 2nd Corvette and the best vehicle this 76yo has ever driven.
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!
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.
The car looks amazing in any color!!
Oh my goodness!!! I would consider buy this.
Great review sofyan
“ without breaking the bank “ 😁
Right! "Bargain basement price"...$95k
@@donsmith9458 ikr 🤣
At a base price of ~$68,000 It is a very reasonable price. Especially compared to other cars in its class.
I cant wait to get mine, Z06 or Z51.
Got mines yesterday, I love it
E-Ray lol
I love the low wing. I love the duckbill from paragon too.
Nice car. Build quality is just fantastic. But I wish there was a manual option to make the ride a lot more interesting.
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.
You sound Like You really enjoy the car. I do as well.😊 I like watching videos where the person is TRUE.
THANKS😂.
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.
2 sports cars in a row?? Is it 2014-2017 again? I miss those days.
Great video. BTW you don’t need z51 for launch control
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!) 🐰
The performance exhaust, front lift, and magnetic ride are must have options. Ours is smooth riding, or adjustable for stiffer and better cornering although even in soft it corners great.
C6 was the last with oval taillights. The C7’s look very similar to the C8
Sweet! But the horrible potholes here in Dallas would KILL those tires and rims. We can’t afford good roads here in TX.
Try the potholes in eeRhoded Island. We're #1 for this
The C8 Corvette is an absolutely phenomenal car and the Hard Top Convertible is something you can't get in a Porsche... I get Giddy every time I drive mine...
Don't compare this thing with a Porsche.
@@rsenior7140 Definitely not... The Porsche Convertibles look like baby carriages...
Affordable and sports car don’t mix
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
Prince said it best: little red corvette. Baby, you're much too fast
Prince wasn't singing about a car. 😉
Rear view mirror camera is a standard on 2024 and both the frunk and trunk has soft close.
Wow) The car looks amazing in any color)
Waiting for GM to change tail lights
Wow very nice American sportscar brand love the design the color look very nice thankyou Redline for the sharing with us all👌🙏
Gotta get me one
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.
Where do you store all that information bro…(Human SD card))💪🏾…Litt
The bank has been broken
Very informative as usual…thankyou!!!👍
This is the only car channel that actually provides insightful information.
I'm must not seeing that big of a difference between the coupe and convertible when the tops are down from a passenger perspective.
Have a 2020 C8 Coupe it has been a great car. Looking at a CT5 V Blackwing or a new 2025 C8 vert which would you choose? The Blackwing is truly a special car with limited availability.
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.
Nice review
The c8 is straight up insane, thank god the days of the c7 are over
Also the Z51 gives you lower rear gearing along with several other goodies.
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….😂😂😂
I bought a 2021 in rapid blue. It's a nice but I have lost confidence in using the vehicle for anything but short trips. Numerous electrical faults have sidelined it for months at a time. The upside is it stays in good condition sitting in the garage.
It seems like lowering the top shaves the 0-60 time a bit cool review 💯
Thanx for this detailed and excellent review! But your are talking too fast for not native speakers :-)
How does he not know how to activate launch control
Driving as many cars as he does… cut him some slack
Gorgeous ❤ next on my list 😊 add to my 01 convertible (56k)
Great review. Thx Soyfan.
You can put a non z51 into launch control. Some of your information is incorrect.
I thought you could as well.
Anyone else getting spam bots?
You're a spam bot 😂
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.
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.
@@sheneedsme Yup.. I got the HTC for all of these reasons too. Plus I have heard that the lifters on the LT2 make a noticeable ticking noise in the coupe, but the added heat shield for the convertible top hides it.
Time out no launch control?
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.
So much better than anything Tesla makes
I have a Tesla and the C8 and the love both cars equally
But the Tesla is much quicker.
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
I bought a C7 Z06 new. It's a 2LZ with every option I need: a dvr, magnetic ride, and a transparent roof. The cost of these C8 s is ridiculous. I test drove one and im sticking with mine.
Best coupe in its price range
Try the frunk again - it DOES soft close. 🤭
🔥 Sofyan 🔥
You lost me when you said that Corvette is $94k.
There are versions at 66k but having a bunch of options clicked in can bring close to 100k
The market lost me when a Ford F350 costs $115K
It’s not for poor people, but it’s a great deal compared to a 911 or Boxster.
Why
Come to Australia and they are 200k ... Nice but not 200k nice
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!
Z51 3lt or a Boxster GTS ?
if they update the infotainment then no more carplay right?
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!

@XX-166 So if he doesn't have a million subs he is wrong about the actual facts of the car? SMH. You are everything that is wrong with the world and why we have flat Earthers. "Duuuurr.. well he has a lot of subs, so everything he says must be right."
Great review. But kinda underwhelming for $100k.
Underwhelming for 100k? I’ve seen a far worse car that’s 100k but SIGNIFICANTLY slower
Beautiful car ❤️
I think you had more fun in the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack!
I love you and miss your beautiful family. Love you baby, love you and I lover her you are a wonderful person and I love you. ❤️ ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I’m waiting ten more years to buy one of these used.
All 2024 models have soft close for the trunks.
I think they've made close to 200,000 C8's already so people tend to take them for granted but if they only made 1,500 a year like they did with Vipers, people would pay at least $180k for a base model and $250k for a Z06...
Someday.... 😀
What modern exotic sport cars come with fog lights
Does has launch control
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 😢
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.
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 👍🏽
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)
Alcantara is a waste, especially on the steering wheel. This car is amazing
Did you ever notice that the hood is shaped like a stingray
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.
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.
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…
First, this car does 0-60 in 2.9 (I know what he said, but he also didn't know that his demo does have launch control) Second, they already make that car, the Corvette E-ray which does it in 2.6 seconds and has 655 combined HP. As for MPG, I routinely get 28 MPG in my C8 while cruising. Even at ~85 MPH it will shut down 4 cylinders and gets really good economy.
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
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.
Lexus if I was 85 and wore a toupee.
Still haven't seen anyone under the age of 60 driving these things.
I saw one under 30 driving Z06 last weekend. But yeh only 1 guy in my neighborhood owns a C8 and he’s 60+
The average age for typical Corvette buyer has shifted to the left. It was 63 and now it is 54. Porsche has now taken over that slot with an average age of 60.
