Thank you everyone for being patient while i fixed the upload of the review! Please make sure to share your feelings on this performance hybrid C8 Corvette in the comments section. ON THROTTLE!
Joe , you’re possibly the best feature/benefit presentation person on the planet 🌎! We appreciate your hard work and the thorough details that you share with us weekly ❤
Be aware of the shit service at the Chevrolet dealership. I just traded in my 2019 Grand Sport, I was upset over the leather delamination on the doors and dash. So be aware of the upgraded leather packages, it may not be worth it! I will get another Corvette but I need a break.
This is the Swiss Army knife corvette . It does some of everything and it’s all season. This car just makes you forget about the base entry level. It’s the right car for most people
This car is amazing. It would get more respect under a different badge. It doesn't need to be compared, its in its own lane. Other cars arent doing what it does , or at that price
OMG…. I was thinking the same thing! Awesome review and I couldn’t even finish my gym workout due to cracking up every time he “Where’s my towel”. Bbwhahahahaha!
Love the Porsche 911 , however, I purchased a 2025 Eray HTC/3LZ and saved $20k over a comparably equipped Z06. Why the Eray vs. a 2025 Porsche? I would have had to spend $180k to option it even close to the Eray performance and 3LZ interior. The Eray will be MUCH cheaper to maintain. Eray oil change runs you about $168. Wanna guess what an oil change would cost on a 911 GTS? Porsche owners are in a slightly higher wage bracket and that’s fine by me. Another advantage of the Eray over the Z06, besides low end performance, is the standard weight saving 12 volt Lithium. battery (retails around $700-$800) A Z06 is about the Ferrari song in the exhaust. It just needs better low end torque to get it moving. P.S. get the front nose lift. It’s a life saver.😉 For the C8 to be compared to 911’s/Ferraris/Lambos, at sometimes 3 times the price… is an honor. Thanks again Tadge
This is my favorite. It is what you said a cruise missile, I laughed so much. I'm watching it on TH-cam, so blurry it's fast. The inside coloring is amazing. Wow
Only issue I see is going to be the depreciation on the eray...all mass produced vettes will depreciate but I still believe a very highly optioned Z06/Z07 will hold it's value the best. I'm fine with the Z06 power/torque curve and prefer the NA motor.
Lol.. Joe I give you raz the other vid for doing 3-4 E-ray reviews and not having it in the car of the year segment and here is another review. I cant remember all your vids but I do think you went on throttle more in this one then others. As I said then you need to buy one 👍.. I got my Comp yellow E-ray 9 days ago and have been having a blast and its still in its limited power breaking in stage. I also did the carbon flash option and thank goodness GM offers that for free. I also paid the $500 bucks for Zer package to get the p4s summer tires instead of AS. You worked hard.. buy yourself one and bring a bigger towel..hahah
Been a long time subscriber and fan of your videos. This video was good but you missed a few key things about this C8 ERay model like Stealth and Shuttle modes, the full time built in Dash Cam, the Hybrid battery's Charge Plus mode for Drag racing, the 500 mile GM software limitation of the RPMs, how this model is the quickest C8 model available on the street at the moment, quicker than a stock Z06, the Touchscreen display offering 0-60 launch times, Z mode, etc.
" This is as much fun that you can have with your clothes on " and your facial expression and laughter was proof lmfao. She sounds great and performs great but I'm still not crazy for the looks of the C8 even after all these years. Those Grand Sport stripes really looks hideous on her. I have a '19 GS and I don't like or have the GS Stripes on her and with the shape of the C7 the stripes looks much better. I don't think I've ever seen you go on throttle as much as you did with that E-Ray ... lots of fun Joe. Replacing those tires would not have been cheap lol!
That's what I always think . Here in Sydney Australia there'd be a mobile speed camera on the side of one of those roads or a copper driving the other way busting you by radar for sure..
Chevrolet shines with this gorgeous car. You get the best electric can offer, the mighty engine, no plug in, and it's safe, too. Be careful with your blood pressure, Joe!
After watching your video, I am seriously considering an ERay. We have a 2022 C8 Z51 3LT Ceramic Matrix Grey. Wish they still had that color or it would be in our garage right now.
Can’t stand the grand sport stripes!!! I don’t even like them on C7 Grand Sports. This is the C8 I want. Thanks Joe, great review as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊
Glad you found the eRay "towel" certified. We have a TT stingray and that thing is a missile. Can't imagine what the same setup would look like on a eRay.
I cant even close to fit... im 6'5" tall... my neighbor has a c8, I can see better OVER the windshield than through the windshield... a 911 IS PERFECT fit for me. im too old for these now though, so im into sport suvs now... bought a Sq8 recently, probably get a RSQ8 in a couple years.... nothing like a V8 sound.. I love it !!
Ok Joe. If you were buying one at the end of the day. Would you buy an Eray or z06? They are pretty similar in price. Eray instant power, faster 0-60, faster 1/4 mile and awd. Orrrrr z06 with that sweet sound ?
I agree with your assessments, but I have to add a zonk. Not digging the aluminuminterior accents. Too many colorsinside. With the loud pedal crushed into the carpet, how long does battery assist last? Also, think it would be cool for Z06 to have the "Zora" option. It would give it that missing low end grunt. Great video as always.
17:30 First of all. Second of all, if I'm correct, that beast was break in RPM locked! Third of all, I'm getting chills while Joe is pulling out the towel, G-dammit! I have to get in one of these! That sound is Star Trek/Star Wars level. Circumcisions. 😂😂
Joe - Try telling that to the Judge "the E-Ray makes me do it your honor, with that car I have no self control ! " 🤣 LOL I have to admit that hearing the engine and the electric motor wind up together makes me grin from ear to ear. I will need two Radar Detectors with this car. LOL 😂
Id go with the Vette it's cheaper on insurance, easier to fix , & parts are accessible vs the Porsche too expensive to own, too expensive to fix, & parts are not as accessible.. GM is easier to work on Vs the European Porsche .. American's don't realize how expensive it is to own those Porches in the EU. Buy GM people .
Thank you everyone for being patient while i fixed the upload of the review! Please make sure to share your feelings on this performance hybrid C8 Corvette in the comments section. ON THROTTLE!
No problem Joe! I always thought the Eray was cool 😎
I thought that you were going to review a stock & standard C8 Corvette eRay from the dealership. Plz reply
Joe, I am a Corvette fan too
@SeanSchmidt-v9c Yeah agree
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425You are the man Chris!
For the money, the E-Ray is an absolute winner!
I need a towel after watching the ON THROTTLE...if you know what I mean! 😂
Trust me I need a cold shower! LOL
That one is real nice just take off the grand sport lines that's it
Absolutely!
Joe , you’re possibly the best feature/benefit presentation person on the planet 🌎!
We appreciate your hard work and the thorough details that you share with us weekly ❤
Growing up as a Porsche guy. I love the 911 don't get me wrong, But I love Corvettes. Therefore I am going Corvette over 911.
You’re saving a lot that’s for sure
Be aware of the shit service at the Chevrolet dealership. I just traded in my 2019 Grand Sport, I was upset over the leather delamination on the doors and dash. So be aware of the upgraded leather packages, it may not be worth it! I will get another Corvette but I need a break.
@@Poopster4Udoesnt delamination mean its not real leather
@mpresto15 Well, whatever Chevy calls it is a disaster.
This is the Swiss Army knife corvette . It does some of everything and it’s all season. This car just makes you forget about the base entry level. It’s the right car for most people
What a beast of a car Joe! Gotta love that unique spaceship like sound. Just a jaw dropping Corvette wow!
I don’t know how much more the 911 is but I would take the e-ray as want the AWD and lower cost to own
Excellent work joe and Steve 🎉!
At least 100k more for a turbo s
911 Carrera 4 AWD is around $15k more than the base E-Ray
This car is amazing. It would get more respect under a different badge. It doesn't need to be compared, its in its own lane. Other cars arent doing what it does , or at that price
Can’t imagine the Eray, owning a C8 Z51 and now a C8 Z06. The sound of the Z06 is what swayed me over the Eray. All three are amazing!!
The z06 sound is the reason I wanna upgrade my c8
@@livinglife3230 you won't be disappointed!!
It’s like the world just blurs when you nail that throttle!
That was awesome Raiti! Felt like I was riding with you. Thank you!!
OMG…. I was thinking the same thing! Awesome review and I couldn’t even finish my gym workout due to cracking up every time he “Where’s my towel”. Bbwhahahahaha!
Totally agree about the "grandsport" stripes.The car is insane,best in the lineup,

The sound of the exhaust, engine, is incredible. Thank you Chevrolet! Thank you Zora! Thank you Corvette engineers! God Bless America!
If that car had center round exhaust tips and no "Grand Sport" badges on the front fenders it would be perfect.
Send to exhaust changes the whole game with these call vets
ON THROTTLE!!!!!!
Wow... i saw your face and i want a corvette NOW Thank you for thus video !!

The E ray looks really cool!! Love the colour of the car!! Both the E ray and the 911 are cool!
Hey Joe! Bought one of these last September. Absolutely love it ❤
Such a beautiful car!
ERay is my new dream car. I've gotten my previous dream cars, so good to have a new goal.
That’s my car minus the GS stripes…. I have the Carbon Fiber aero and CF interior with AR interior….. LOVE the car!
I love this as a grand tourer..my dream: Everyday driven: E-RAY
On the weekends:ZO6
Thanks Joe and Steven for this exciting segment 😀 for 2025 😊
I’m also zonking the goofy fender stripes. However, the price is zonking me much harder 😂 Happy New Year Joe!

I appreciate all the thorough 0-45 mph testing. (: Thanks Joe!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍 and I love c8 e-ray look good
Joe you got me looking at this vehicle sir. Good job

@17:00 Ayooooooo 😂 Joe you killed me. Fire video 🔥📷🚘
Where the heck are all of the police in Florida joe? Lol
That's what I always think . Here in Sydney Australia there'd be a mobile speed camera on the side of one of those roads or a copper driving the other way busting you by radar for sure..
Eray is the best of my 4 different versions of the c8. Carbon flash accents with white is awesome and I do like it better than the 6cly porsche hybrid
Chevrolet shines with this gorgeous car. You get the best electric can offer, the mighty engine, no plug in, and it's safe, too. Be careful with your blood pressure, Joe!
2:40 looks MUCH better with the contrast vs the all body color front grille area. Excellent spec here 🥹😍 pass on the grand sport stripes though
After watching your video, I am seriously considering an ERay. We have a 2022 C8 Z51 3LT Ceramic Matrix Grey. Wish they still had that color or it would be in our garage right now.
Where’s my towel 😂😂😂 ❤I can’t wait for the 2025 ZR1-1064 hp. 😮
It sounds sound and looks amazing! Sounds like a spaceship.
The E-Ray battery is a 1.9 kHh battery pack.
You are correct Barry!
Dealership in Toronto Ontario. They have a E-Ray. With a full carbon package. Black on Black. They just under 2kk
I like the hashes , grand spot or not.
The answer is yes!
Can’t stand the grand sport stripes!!! I don’t even like them on C7 Grand Sports. This is the C8 I want. Thanks Joe, great review as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊
Glad you found the eRay "towel" certified. We have a TT stingray and that thing is a missile. Can't imagine what the same setup would look like on a eRay.
I really didn’t get the point of the eray but it sure is growing on me!!
All wheel drive and mad acceleration 😅
Awesome on throttle all day long amazing review 😁😁😁
Dream giveaway garage..great cars and great charities..I love that whine it has..awesome car..vette all day long over a Porche
LOVE, Love, love!!!!! Awesome Review "Joe"😄
Damnnnnn this thing LOOKS good, thank you to Chevy and Ford for continue to pushing envelope here, Dodge where you at????
I agree with you regarding the Grand Sport stripes
Sounds Awesome
Hey Joe Raiti, my name is Festive X and you do a great job!
Thank you for your great support!
I cant even close to fit... im 6'5" tall... my neighbor has a c8, I can see better OVER the windshield than through the windshield... a 911 IS PERFECT fit for me. im too old for these now though, so im into sport suvs now... bought a Sq8 recently, probably get a RSQ8 in a couple years.... nothing like a V8 sound.. I love it !!
Great video from Australia
Sounds and looks like Chevy took a few cues from the GT-R. 😊😊
Awesome car!! Was wondering if any car has ever pulled out in front of you doing "on throttle"? Great car and video as usual.
Nice video keep up the great work Joe
Perdy car. Don't love the stripes or black rims but I know everyone loves that. I would prefer some brushed metal.
this thing looks great in cacti color. and LOVE the eray.
I agree with you about the stripes. I don't really care for them on the grand sport.
chevy is final getting it. Audi RS7 and RS6 AWD use to be the only all season sports car. now we have the E-Ray
I came here for the door panels!
To the door panel!
Ok Joe.
If you were buying one at the end of the day. Would you buy an Eray or z06? They are pretty similar in price.
Eray instant power, faster 0-60, faster 1/4 mile and awd. Orrrrr z06 with that sweet sound ?
I agree with your assessments, but I have to add a zonk. Not digging the aluminuminterior accents. Too many colorsinside.
With the loud pedal crushed into the carpet, how long does battery assist last? Also, think it would be cool for Z06 to have the "Zora" option. It would give it that missing low end grunt.
Great video as always.
Hold up Raiti was that a curse word 😂 ? Love to hear it good review as always brother.
If reliability is not an issue this car will be a hot sale worldwide for its price and design
You rock Joe!! A beautiful car
Good job, I’ll keep mine…👍🏼
They're both beasts!
You better believe it!
When you busted out the towel I'm in tears laughing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Better than the 911 for sure!
They’re definitely heading in the right direction.a awd v8 mustang gt would be phenomenal.i know there’s the Audi s7 but i like American muscle .
Carbon flash metallic > body color. 2024 Stingray HTC owner still debating between the E-ray and the Z06
17:30 First of all.
Second of all, if I'm correct, that beast was break in RPM locked!
Third of all, I'm getting chills while Joe is pulling out the towel, G-dammit!
I have to get in one of these! That sound is Star Trek/Star Wars level.
Circumcisions. 😂😂
Ur the best man. 😂 that Vette rocks
This sounds Sick !!!
i want to know more about the Eray/ electric only or gas too?
that title is bold but your on to something raiti
Yes .Yes the E-Ray is a Better Car👍... 4Sure.
This is a beautiful car 🙂
Joe you was cookin in that thing.
Always crack me up when Joe brings out the towel 😂
Im buying a C8 Eray i think its the best car and price. 🙏
look around you might be able to find some under MSRP. I got mine for 114K. Its a blast
I love the eray with the painted accents
Worth the wait.
Awesome Vette!!!
Joe - Try telling that to the Judge "the E-Ray makes me do it your honor, with that car I have no self control ! " 🤣 LOL I have to admit that hearing the engine and the electric motor wind up together makes me grin from ear to ear. I will need two Radar Detectors with this car. LOL 😂
Sounds awesome.
How is the motor configured with the engine?
For the $$$, I still love my Stinger! Love it, Joe.
The hybrid performance is the future.
Joe you need to make at t shirt with your face and caption "On throttle face". Man you be in it. Priceless 😅
Id go with the Vette it's cheaper on insurance, easier to fix , & parts are accessible vs the Porsche too expensive to own, too expensive to fix, & parts are not as accessible..
GM is easier to work on Vs the European Porsche .. American's don't realize how expensive it is to own those Porches in the EU. Buy GM people .
I have a feeling that they are more expensive to fix now that they are rear engine
E-Ray AWD is something unique
Question, any problems with speed limits? Tickets?
Wow, this might be the better choice to get than those new imports.
