I have one and took delivery one week ago. I now have 510 miles on it and love it so far. This is my first convertible. My original order was a coupe and changed to the convertible when they had the reveal. I liked the idea of having the top down and still being able to use both trunks. Keep up the great content.
Personally I would take the C8 coupe cause I get a “convertible” without loosing the gorgeous engine cover. Downside is I have to manual removing the roof every time. But I think it’s a worthwhile trade off(and it’s cheaper) but that’s my opinion
@@RacerX9 I've seen 3 of these they are so nice wish i was able to get one. I really want a 2016 model hopefully I'll be able to get one in 2-3 year's that is my goal
Such a good looking car! And that cockpit layout🤩. I do wish they made it so you could see the engine in the back, but I understand how that would be a bit dangerous with moving parts being made out of glass. I am really surprised with how fast that hardtop was able to retract and fold away like it did. And so quietly as well! The auto manufacturers have really stepped up their game and in the past decade over what they gave us back in the late 90's through 2000's. A big thank you to Frank for letting you play around with their corvette so we could see all those awesome details! As always, Keep Smiling
@@johnvita5510 I know. I just ran across one I want. 2008 Z-06 Burnt orange with the carbon fiber package.. 6 spd. Saddle interior 48,000 miles. $25,000 private sell. I looked at it today but the guy is out of town. Immaculate from what I could tell just looking around it. Next is a good test drive and complete inspection and review of all valid documents. I am very lucky to be able to get one. Got stage 4 cancer about 5 years ago and survived against all odds. It cost me everything I owned to pay. I'm getting back on my feet and just want to continue my dreams and love for fun and most all, life. Have a good evening friend.
Man that convertible top is a slick design! I didn't really like the C8's at first, but they've grown on me and now I really love them. When I get my Scat paid off the C8 may be my next frivolous purchase LOL!
That’s a bad ass car that’s for sure, my neighbor actually has that car in the same color, I’m in California so I’ve seen quite a few of those driving around lately, but it is a nice car, that sticker price is up there when they’re fully loaded, but like you say, “what are you gonna do“
😄Chevy finally nail this. That's the best looking Corvette I've ever seen. Like that mid engine. And hardtop convertible is next level. Look out Ferrari.
I really think you guys are quality people. Being on youtube is extra. Thanks. Enjoying the channel! I’m going to learn from you guys and build something for the track on my channel! Rematch!
I did what you did. I was getting a C8 3LT Z51, in fact a convertible just like the one in your video, red and black in and out. Instead I am now in the order queue for a Z06 Convertible (#244 at MacMulkin Chevrolet.) I will probably be sticking with red and black, unless GM offers a unique color combo for the Z06. IMHO the base C8 lacks the power and performance I want for the track. I had a highly modified C5R-427, which was kickass on the track and I believe the C8 Z06 will be even better.
Your man Michael was great about mentioning all the year end discounts his dealership was offering! Alas, I missed hearing how much they were offering off on the new C8’s . . .
Dont think there were any incentives on those but I will say that this dealership does not charge ADM so I commend them on that when so many other dealers are trying to gouge people.
Good review I ordered the same one for 2021 fully loaded I didn’t know if you got a picture of the sticker I just wanna see if all the options I’m getting is what he got
Hey racer x can you talk bout the new dodge ram 2021 it suppose to have like a hell cat engine it i would like to see what your opinion it the goods and the bads please and thank you
I didn't have the ability to take the cover the off over the engine. I do have another video with the regular C8 where you get a great look at the engine
What a magnificent car , what a lucky guy congrats , is there a chance you can do a reg cab short box 2 wheel drive V8 comparison with the Ford , Chevy and Dodge ? . Cheers
This proves EVERYTHING goes back to ROME. Just as the UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 DNA. This car screams American F E R R A R I. I would be content with a preowned/USED BASE MODEL being that I want one so badly.Although I drive a 2012 BMW 328i convertible, As an American I smile with a sense of pride whenever I see a C8.
Hey Racer X, How much did M. Gordon pay you to advertise Chevy’s C8 convertible for him? I believe about 25% of your subs are driving Dodge’s. I drive an R/T (really Tame)lol!!! Just Picking At You!!!🙃😂😂🤣🤣😄😄😄
Up close the Corvette looks great at a distance. It looks a little strange to me little boxy the front I'm not a fan of. But overall it's so nice car. Lamborghini knockoff I'm sorry something like that.
@@RacerX9 so if u are reviewing a vehicle for the buying public to make a informative decision on said vehicle it’s very important not to leave out that HUGE OF A DETAIL ! With all due respect to the Brand
WILLIE JOHNSON .. I could have shown that but that is not what I was focused on during this video. The vette has lots of technology and engineering packed into it .. I could make an hour long video on all of it .. the remote was not my focus! But your sly little “genius” comment was unwarranted at best

Thank you Don.. I bet your loving that thing.. they are amazing
You show me you have a c8 and you willing to teach money making strategy I’ll quit my job and work for yoh
These c8 convertible videos have convinced me to get one over the hard top.
Both are fantastic
me too. Changed my order last month...
My goodness, that thing is stunning!!! 😍 And a sub-3 zero to sixty is awesome. Thank you for sharing, stay safe 👍 Chuck
Absolutely Chuck.. I appreciate it buddy
The stock c8’s are already so nice but the convertible version is something else 🔥
For sure
I usually prefer the coupe over the convertible, but the C8 HTC is much more exotic looking to me.

Well said my friend.. much appreciated.. Iove that C8
Man I love that car. I'm lucky to be in the market for a C-6. At least I can afford that without a loan. God bless Texas and vette drivers.
Cash is king for sure
The c6 was one of the best Corvettes made!!!

I didn’t get a Corvette till I was 68...bought a C6...four years later and still loving it!
@@stevedolan5065 61 here. We are never to old. Lol.
As mopar lovers, we don't want RacerX to move on to the vette, but after seeing this, how can we blame him? Damn !! How cool is that!!
Thank you Rik.. still love my Mopars
Great Video Racer X! That c8 is freakin' impressive!! Great job Chevrolet!
I'm right there with ya buddy.. C8 is very cool
Excitement all the way around. Awesome car. Outstanding bud.
Thank you Aaron
I’m impressed in every way with this car.
Even though I'm not a fan of ANY Corvette,this video had great content.
Thank you Joe
the little window is cute
That Convertible C8 is Awesome!!🤤 Saw my first C8 running around the streets in my neighborhood last week‼️ Bright Red and a Real Head-Turner💯🤟😃✌
For sure buddy.. they get even better when you drive them..
Man that convertible top is a slick design! I didn't really like the C8's at first, but they've grown on me and now I really love them. When I get my Scat paid off the C8 may be my next frivolous purchase LOL!
Yes if you get a chance to drive one you will see just what an amazing machine they are.. its like wearing a car lol
@@RacerX9 That sounds awesome!
Nothing beats a hard-top convertible to me!
It is an impressive car for sure
it looks so so cool , its even better with a victor racing static c8 wing fitted , super hot
That’s a bad ass car that’s for sure, my neighbor actually has that car in the same color, I’m in California so I’ve seen quite a few of those driving around lately, but it is a nice car, that sticker price is up there when they’re fully loaded, but like you say, “what are you gonna do“
Yes sir.. this is a sick car
C8 3lt loaded is 150k🇨🇦 in Canada! Since we pay a 25k luxury tax!
Zo6 if you can get a a location is over 200k$🇨🇦!
Agreed Good video ...I love my 2020 Corvette stingray spider with 3LT Z-51 package 🔥 content coming to our channel with this car build
😄Chevy finally nail this. That's the best looking Corvette I've ever seen. Like that mid engine. And hardtop convertible is next level. Look out Ferrari.

@@RacerX9 🤝
Awesome vid man👍!
Thanks buddy
im not a huge vette fan. But HOLY crap this thing looks amazing!!!
I'm with you Sean
I never thought I would say this to another dude, but your eyes really stick out !!!
My roommates’ Honda Del Sol had a back window like that in ‘92. Still cool though.
I did what you did. I was getting a C8 3LT Z51, in fact a convertible just like the one in your video, red and black in and out.

Hell yea brother .. the Z06 is going to be amazing for sure
Ordered a convertible, I should get a 2021 or a 2022. I’m excited and can’t wait.
How long is the wait on yours?
@@Linkmon99 I ordered mine December 7, 2020 I was told I would have to wait possibly late this year or early next year
Your man Michael was great about mentioning all the year end discounts his dealership was offering! Alas, I missed hearing how much they were offering off on the new C8’s . . .

Your going to love that thing.. great car
Super bad ass 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I fully agree. ...
I saw one the same color at a cars and coffee on Saturday.
Yes they are striking cars
Hope to have a Pre Certified in two or three years if the Dealerships quit pricing over MSRP so high.
Oh. Let’s watch you as the corvette convertible closes. I know that view is what We are all interested in. Lol.
so beautiful
Beautiful car
For sure my friend.. it most definitely is
how do you access the engine? does the hood release bypass the convertible mechanism?
I’m also in Dallas and soon will be shopping for the new Vette. Just subscribed. Happy to join !
Welcome my friend
Chevyganggang can't wait to get my hands on one & own it!! Just a sweet ride... 🤙
Great video buddy c8 look amazing👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Chad.. agreed
Very shiny ❤️.. what is the exact color of this Corvette
Thats my dream combination on shoot NICE!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😱😱
I like this guy
I just ordered the same one in video but competition seats
I literally just recorded a c8 coupe yesterday!
I like seeing the engine personally but the convertible is dope as hell
I would certainly rock both lol
LOVE IT - man I need to hit the lottery LOL... or give up a few other toys. 🤣😍🤣
LOL you have a treasure chest of toys.. maybe you need a C8 to top it off lol
Hey racer x can you talk bout the new dodge ram 2021 it suppose to have like a hell cat engine it i would like to see what your opinion it the goods and the bads please and thank you
When the TRX comes out I will definitely be doing a review on it
@@RacerX9 thank you so much big ram fan
I hear a boxer and I notice that steering wheel. Sounds just like my 2.0l wrx prem
That's a beautiful beautiful machine I wish one day I own one I was Wonder I can get 1lt convertible is the only one maybe I can afford
Stunning.....
It certainly is
Dope content
So cool bro
What are they getting over sticker price at this dealer?
We are not pricing any C8 over MSRP.
What is the up charge for the convertible?
The Convertible is $7500 more than the coupe
None of the videos show the motor??? Why??.
I didn't have the ability to take the cover the off over the engine. I do have another video with the regular C8 where you get a great look at the engine
More bad ass than a Porsche , as fast as a Porsche "almost"😉 , looks better than a Porsche at less than half the price. American made baby!!!!
Great looking car.
It most definitely is
How price
What a magnificent car , what a lucky guy congrats , is there a chance you can do a reg cab short box 2 wheel drive V8 comparison with the Ford , Chevy and Dodge ? . Cheers
I will definitely give it some thought Mike.. A truck review has been on my mind
Cool car. Love it.
Me too Ed.. its an awesome ride
Nice car looks tough to get out seems easy out in emergency be too down lol great video x
Thanks Richie.. hope you are doing well buddy
Have you seen a C8 convertible with high wing yet?
you should do some vlogs we wanna see the daily life of racerX
I need to give that some thought
Hard 💯💯❤️👍
Did you get a new camera? The video quality was really good.
Same one.. Iphone XR. Maybe it was just the lighting in the shop area. I will take it lol
that's exactly what i said, like a damn Transformer, but i love it and want one bad...
Dude , I want one of those hats .
GM nailed it. Kicked the Ferrari out.
It's a wicked car for sure.. cant wait for the Z06
Mercedes SLKs have been doing this for 2 decades.
Lol two Autobots did chose Corvettes as their vehicle modes, Sideswipe and Crosshairs 😁
Mopar guy to the gills but that car is stunning
I'm right there with you my friend
Need in POLAND right now fluffy heck !

Me: Looks at 90K Cars.
Mom: You know you are 17, unemployed and still in highschool right?
Nothing wrong with looking .. thats what drives us to achieve our dreams
2022 and he still waiting on the 2023 z06
🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:02 Reason why you're Here...😀
Yo I’m so use to you sporting a cap lol
It doesn’t seem much more open than the coupe with the roof off.
I want one.
Me too lol
Lets check this out!!
Since you gave me the option to believe or not believe the back window goes up I chose not to believe it brah 😐
Hey Racer X,
How much did M. Gordon pay you to advertise Chevy’s C8 convertible for him?
I believe about 25% of your subs are driving Dodge’s. I drive an R/T (really Tame)lol!!! Just Picking At You!!!🙃😂😂🤣🤣😄😄😄
LOL.. not a cent.. I just love cool cars and they let me borrow their cars to get great content. Mike is great to work with
Hey future me how’s pickin up your girl with this car
I feel sorry for who ever has to work on the engine. I'd rather have the coupe so I can see the engine and get to it easier
Im not a big fan of the c8. But it is a cool car nonetheless.
my obsession with this car is unhealthy
One of my customers at the bank has one Blue in Blue, beautiful car and surprisingly well built, can’t wait for the Z08 ? 🤗
The Z06 will be legit
Why do always talk about how fast it goes from 0-60? Most guys who buy these cars are not going to track it. It riding around and looking good!
Because as a true gear head we always want to know how they stack up..
Bet he doesn't read his comments.
He responds to almost everyone
Bet he does lol
@@RacerX9 epic move😎
Bhahahahahaha..man he left you at the light son....
Up close the Corvette looks great at a distance. It looks a little strange to me little boxy the front I'm not a fan of. But overall it's so nice car. Lamborghini knockoff I'm sorry something like that.
Looks more like a Targa Top
😐🤨
カッコイイ!欲しい♪
This car craps all over the overpriced underperforming so called supercars..Great colour combo also...beautiful.
America can do it better than foreign autos and for less!
looks just like a ferrari 🥴
Alot of car for the money against comparibles.
put a 700hp hellcat engine in it i bet itll go much faster
They are saving that for the Z06 lol
I had to wipe the drool off of my mouth. That thing is wicked nasty!
It most definitely is.. lol
Cops love red cars!
