As a '15 1LE owner, I want one of these, even if there's no manual option. The styling points that were initial minor complaints on my part have grown on me... at this point, the only thing I find comical is that row of buttons on the center console. I have the patience to wait a bit, see what issues crop up from early adapters, and to see what the Z06 version is going to cost :)
No matter what package you get it should have the best cooling possible kind of crazy you have to pay extra. I live in Arizona where hells gates were forged yes they test them here in the heat but upgraded cooling for an extra price is just crazy.Just wish it had a spare tire also out in the middle of nowhere trying to plug it would be a pita and depending on the flat you could shred the tire.
Lambo mclaten ferrari porsche..you've been found out..this Corvette supercar has the lot for only $60,000 .. just wait for the Z06 and ZR1...all the forementioned left the building with red faces.
Hurray on the vette ... lets not lose the camaro... like get rid of water fountains or garbage cans .. there has to be away . Its not like the car is unpopular.. need a camaro uprising. My grandkids need a camaro in there future.
Right? Its not like it weighs 100's of lbs less or anything. From what I've been hearing it weighs as much or more than a comparable C7. It only has 5 more lb-ft of tq and 30+ hp. The only real factor I could think of is that it has the 8 spd DCT. Even more so than the fact that it's a rear midengine layout. But it's 0 to 60 is putting it into some very expensive company. If it could put down low 11s or high 10s. This will put it into some very exotic company. All this with a pushrod. Name any na dohc for 60k that's able to do such a feat.
@@99-Zulu having the weight of the engine and transmission right there around the rear axle makes a huge difference. Also I'm betting the rear wheel HP is better than the C7 because there's less moving mass in the drivetrain which means less power is lost from the crankshaft to the wheels.
It’s these new transmissions giving the performance numbers we’re hearing about with the mustangs and camaro so of course the new vette gets the best transmission, which is the same tranny in the 2020 gt500
Im a Ford guy but I will say its a good looking car I don't care much for the rear but other than that , they did a great job! Also the performance is amazing for the money!!
I always wondered why the U.S. car makers could not one up what the Italian and other super car makers put out. WOW they are blowing up the script and becoming game changers. This model is stunning, great job GM. Although I love my 17 2SS I bashed them for a while because of the plant closures etc... Hopefully this will change GM's fortunes and encourages them to reinvest in the U.S. Awesome job!!! A supercar for the everyday man.
About freaking time. its a great looking car seems it was worth the wait. You hear that whistling sound? Thats the sound of C6 and C7 prices dropping through the floor.
I thought I might have seen you with your car on a trailer between Gillette and Sundance yesterday. Crazy. The C8 is amazing. Might trade the 1LE for one here in a couple years.
Hey, what's up Lethal? Recent subscriber here. You have a decent following, so I was wondering if you would consider encouraging your followers to start a letter writing campaign to GM in the hopes of convincing them to now throw everything at the Camaro the way they did with the CORVETTE? The Camaro is very good now but it could be better, and would someone with a public platform please tell them they have to advertise the Camaro as aggressively and as often as Dodge and Ford!!
It looks pretty much like a Ferrari. I guess it is what it is. I am sure alot of people are going to love it and scoop them up and that is great if thats what your into. I myself don,t care for it and would not waste my coin on it. But to each there own. I am sure there will be tones of them running around. You will see them all over the place.
Does it finally have blind spot warning or rear cross traffic alert.. basically have they finally incorporated any of the safety package features like all the other new cars?
That's for the higher tier model coming later in the years just as the released different models like the c7, and the zr1 is the highest if you know what I mean
I rented a 2019 Corvette Z06 off Turo while on vacation in Atlanta. It drove very well but it was cringy pulling our of certain parking garages in downtown Atlanta. I'm more used to the higher clearance on my 6th gen Camaro. BUT ... I'm not sure if you includes this in your video but the C8 Corvette now gets a nose-lift feature that can jack the car's nose up 1.6 inches to increase ground clearance in 2.8 seconds at speeds up to 24 mph. The system can also be programed to work automatically through GPS to remember up to 1,000 locations. Problem solved.
I think it’s a gorgeous car it’s paving a way of sorts and GM has introduced a great opener, they have broken the ice, now apply the same dedication to the Camaro as now it’s your front engine king in the line up, come on GM hit another home run with the Gen7 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 price it well and ppl will buy, HP sells cars torque wins races and value well value is the newest bracket show us what you got 💪🏻
These specs on the lowest trim is unheard of. Rip any foreign car under 300k. Btw I wonder if now that the Vette is mid engine the Camaro might be free to do whatever they please? I mean c’mon LT2 SS with that new transmission? Yes please. Camaro could really reach new heights because of this’s
I have to agree. I have bashed this approach by GM for the past year and disagreed 100%. Then I seen the end product and read the specs. GM has taken my breath away with the Corvette. My favorite will always be 1963 split, 1982 L82, and the C6 Z06. I may be adding a new one.
Not too bad, my only hope which based in the powertrains, is gone; hope they don't discontinue front engine models completely. I mean, for the sake of intangible hypothetical offsprings future. Seeing how for my own sake and anyone alive now or being born soon, it would be inconsequential, because there's still going to be remnants of a front engine vets around for longer than any of us aught be worried about. Due to regulations and other stuff I'm not in the mood to dispute with yt naysayers, car culture is likely within 100 years of being dead anyway, so might as go out with a bang. Acadenia would habe us believe a bang started it all; as far as procreation that is true but it's also true for cars.
I agree I owned a 2018 Grand Sport for about 1 month .. love the car it never felt as good as the Camaro SS both had stock seat . I thought is was stupid to keep a car that cost that much , that didn't even feel good to sit in .. short amount of time in the seat was painful . Camaro is the better car IMHO . That's why I have a 2018 SS now . I can drive the Camaro on a long road trip , no problems !!
I agree, GM did their homework with the C8 Corvette and I'm so impressed with it. Can't wait to see what else they release.
I absolutely love it 💪
The video they showed at the end teased the C8 convertible and the C8.R race car.
the camo car before the vert is the C8.R the actual race care.

I didnt know they had a “z71” package.
Is that the 4wd offroad version?
LOL
Goes along with the new 2” loft they threw on
Thank go it wasn't disgraced by the designers from the Camaro refresh!!! Just imagine...
Very well said Matt! I agree and cant wait for the ZR1 !!!!
Lambo mclaten ferrari porsche..you've been found out..this Corvette supercar has the lot for only $60,000 .. just wait for the Z06 and ZR1...all the forementioned left the building with red faces.
You said z71 package the first time lol caught me off gaurd
LOL same....safari style C8 from the factory with Z71 package.
Hurray on the vette ... lets not lose the camaro... like get rid of water fountains or garbage cans .. there has to be away . Its not like the car is unpopular.. need a camaro uprising. My grandkids need a camaro in there future.
I'm with you RJZNR1!!
I'm getting one. 0-60 under 3 seconds. What the absolute hell GM put in that car

No its the American Corvette.
studio7 you missed my point entirely.
Thanks Matt 👍🏻💯🚗
I can’t wait to hear the sound of that engine
Great job Mat. I love the C8
Its awesome and the price point its perfect. Well done GM.
Love it!

yet
@@Lethalgarage hey, don't ruin the moment.
What’s wrong with electric motors????
The INSTANT torque that they generate is unattainable with either turbo or super charging.....
@@johnharris2205 enjoy what you want. That is a sufficient response.
newest bear Lets all say it together......Amen!
i might have to trade in the camaro
same
As our lord and savior Palpatine once said..”Dew it!”
No I love u camaro 😢
@@PNWANT1 your reply made me sad.
Badass and Amazing
Epic! Chevrolet brought the mid engine supercar to the affordable price range.

You did
Current opinion is I do love the design. Zora would be proud of where his dream has been taken to Corvette’s new era! Kudos GM and Chevrolet!
Honestly id rather get a camaro ss or challenger scatpack
Love it
Under 60 grand and 0-60 under 3 seconds. Best buy ever and I want one. This is the best performance car ever for the money. Way to go Chevy.
It's pretty impressive
C8 looks great! I like that it's not over the top with wings scoops and vents, just nice lines with an exotic look.👍
I wanna see how it compares too the cars out here now when ppl start buying them😈
I'm very excited to see the Grandsport/Z06 with the extended rear intake like the C8.R race car.

Lethal dedication! :)
they said plenty of leg room fo tall people , because of no front engine
LethalCorvette has a good ring to it !

Lethal garage I thought the c8 corvette going to have a twin turbo with 1000hp
That's for the higher tier model coming later in the years just as the released different models like the c7, and the zr1 is the highest if you know what I mean
this
How tall are you? Never tried to fit in a vette but after you said you don’t fit I’m now curious
6’5”
I love it my bro keep up work and love video 💯💯💯💯💯💯👍 me Chevy gang all day for life
ZL1 had a baby with zr1 = c8
SUWAIIDII DXB more like a Ferrari 488 had a baby with a Z06
Go look at Roman from TFL. He's 6'3 and when he say in it he looked like he had decent enough space.

love the car, cant eait to see if the cockpit is bigger
I'm 6'7" and had to get a Camaro because I couldn't fit in a Corvette either.
I'm 5'7" and I drive a land yacht...'68 Impala....plenty of space 🤣
Great looking C8 all around, its just that weird back end view and the spoiler ...it looks like its 'spooning' too much.
I would never own chevy..... tell now.... cause im 6'4 lol.....

I'd imagine theyll do another refresh. 3.5 years of no updates or changes is a long time of being on sale.
yep C3 68-82
Pretty sure the spy shot car you posted with the really big wing is the IMSA C8.R race car not the Z06.
C6 is waaaaay bigger than the c7

Interior looks nice, with the exception of the stupid square steering wheel. Exterior isn’t working for me at all.
Go to bed ya mentalist
Im happy I just sold the 1le for a good price, I will definitely need to check out this when it hits dealers.
Ehh... not a big fan but it’s kinda like those cars that you don’t like but when you see it in real life then it’s better in person

I am only 5' 9" , just an av size guy , not chubby or thick .
The current camaro is ugly and overpriced. The c8 is beautiful and priced right. Camaro people gonna be jumping on the vette bandwagon. Including me.
Camaro is hardly overpriced. If you think the Camaro is pricey, wait until you see the Vettes pricing with basic options applied.
No manual, no care.
Agree.. looks like a Ferrari. Chevy can't come up with anything original
