The purple by far looks the best. The wheels along with the fact that the obnoxious carbon fiber sides blend in much better. Honestly, it doesn't even look like the other C8s. Looks really nice.
Instead of bringing back the Sebring Orange that was on the 20-21 c8 back to the 2025, GM should bring back Lime Rock Green from the 2014 c7. Would look really good on the c8
Its beyond epic. The entire C8 series is VERY possibly the best sports car series in automotive history, and im dead serious. The entire range of sports car endeavors is covered so thoroughly that its quite difficult to beat the car as a whole regardless of price. The looks is just as competitive as any brand out there and trying to daily a 5 pound carbon tub chassis isnt what you think it is.
@@Baltzy24 Porsche series cars, either 718 or 911 dont come close to what the C8 series is offering. 992.2 is a hybrid series that is rumored to be way more expensive than 992.1. Already a Carrera S can max out to over 150k. GM took a huge market share away from Porsche with the C8 series.
From an engineering standpoint, the C8 is in may ways the best car ever made, period. But the design is an epic disaster that can be described in only two words: “Chaos” and “Chunk.” Colliding lines and angels. A chopped off front that looks as aerodynamic as a snowplow. The only Corvette to ever be described as “ugly” by major press and analysts. Looks are subjective. What’s not subjective are the chaos and chunkiness. And incredibly, Chevy makes design changes by actually ADDING more doodads. Who approved this thing?

Couple things. First: One of my business friends sold his C8 Z06 He was a lifetime Corvette owner and he told me that it was impossible to drive on wet/slick roads. Second: That bar of switches between the driver and passenger is hideous .The Z-06 would be fun to take on a track like the Kentucky Motor Speedway but driving it on the street with all the idiots would be trouble.
I loved Corvettes all my young and adult life but for some reason I can’t get into the New Vettes. They should have called it Corvair like the mid engine car from the 60s.
That light blue has worn out its welcome as far as blue goes in my opinion, been around for at least 5 to 7 years! I love that they are bringing back the purple, wise move!
Eddie, being (or have been, not sure if you still have it) a GT350 owner is the C8 a better car? Considering one. I had a C7 and liked it a lot same with the GT350. Just curious what someone who has owned both thinks. Thanks, Joe
I’d take GT350 over a base C8 stingray in terms of fun and excitement. Way more special of an engine. The c8 has more modern comforts and tech, and feels slightly more upmarket given the mid-engine layout. C8 Z06 is a huge step up tho.
The Hysteria purple has made me want a 2025 z06.. I'm bummed because I just finally made up my mind to repaint my V wagon purple, and then GM says they are gonna make a purple corvette. However, i guarantee it will be filled with texture as usual for GM, so maybe I'll just steal the Hysteria paint code for my V
I just will never warm up to the playskool styling of the C8 corvette. For me, the model that most mitigates the unsightliness is the Z06 HTC. I hope that when I retire in 4.5 years, Chevy will release a more artful body.
For being on the 5th year the c8 just looks brand new still. GM did there homework as ford with the warm up mustang dark horse wants 70k no way in hell I’m picking that over the vette at that price
Ordering for 2025, I think my mind is made up. I am going for that Hysteria Purple. I do like the color changing in different light aspect, I've always peferred that- that darker colors bring, but I need to give the dark reds I've preferred forever also a rest for a while. LOL I also think all black interior this time, with cooled seats that is just fine. Just easier to keep looking clean. No more light interiors for me. That's decades of ownership speaking. LOL
And I refuse to buy a C8 ZR1 when it comes out because first of all it'll probably be $350,000 and also it'll still have boring regular doors and that's too much to pay for a car with boring regular doors not to mention What's worst of all is the only make the damn thing for 1 year and then they'll stop making it. I'm just not going to waste my time with something that they're going to artificially inflate the price. When it's a Chevy it's not a Ferrari. It's not worth what they're trying to price it at
They need to bring back the manual 7-speed transmission. I DONT like automatic. Also I'm not going to buy a ZR1 because they'll artificially inflate the price by only making the car for one year. Unlike the 1990 ZR1 which was just a little bit above the base model Corvette in price but they'll probably have this one listed at $300,000 or more. I don't have time for that . The 2019 ZR1 was nothing but a cash grab. They only made the car for one year and Jack the price through the roof I don't like when companies artificially inflate the price by purposely limiting production. But what they need to do is add one motion vertical Lambo doors to these cars from the factory
These poor Americans cannot get it bloody right can they . I always wait for that day but it never comes . THIS CAR IS OVERSTYLED . Too much over angular nonsense and looks cheap on comparison to anything European . Such a shame because it's such a great car
The purple by far looks the best. The wheels along with the fact that the obnoxious carbon fiber sides blend in much better. Honestly, it doesn't even look like the other C8s. Looks really nice.
That purple PPF wrapped Z06 is 🔥🔥🔥! Great video!
Definitely looked badass

Eddie, is this man’s mic 🎤 on?? Somebody get this man a microphone!!! 🔥 🔥 That green would be perfect on the C8.
8:01 that paint job is 🤌 Cacti E - Ray?
C8 is sick. I love mine!! Looks and drives awesome!!
The sad thing is that TH-camrs will get the ZR1 first

C8 is a wannabe Ferrari

Lexus called. They want their LC500 wheels back.
too bad it looks better on the vette
This puts a smile on my face!

The new Z51 wing is perfect 👌
What brand are your wheels?
Those new rims better suit the stingray. I think they’re too “soft” almost elegant for the track focused, harder edged zo6
The new purple color kinda reminds me of Shmee’s 675LT Spider
Better every day
Best of the best
Hey - what kind of wheels do you have on your Z06? I'm looking at the 2025's and not loving the new look. Thanks!
Yellow in Español is ICE
Dealers charged guys $150k mark up when the Z06 was first released. Now you can get one for $109k or less 😂😂😂
Actually, that purple color looks like it came from a C5 Pace Car Edition that had purple (if my memory is correct).
Couple things. First: One of my business friends sold his C8 Z06 He was a lifetime Corvette owner and he told me that it was impossible to drive on wet/slick roads. Second: That bar of switches between the driver and passenger is hideous .The Z-06 would be fun to take on a track like the Kentucky Motor Speedway but driving it on the street with all the idiots would be trouble.
On PS4S the car is totally fine on wet/slick roads
I really like the new z51 wing. Nice
That purple z06 man 👌 what wheels are on that car the fitment is perfect
Hi Eddie and friends!!
I’m not a car girl. But hubby just got a 2025 Stingray. What are some good holidays gifts for a new Corvette owner? 🤗
Very cool, this was a great video.
The party is over on the C8
finally they changed the yellow, the darker yellow is way better. i hated that bright yellow
That purple color looks sexy as hell.
I loved Corvettes all my young and adult life but for some reason I can’t get into the New Vettes. They should have called it Corvair like the mid engine car from the 60s.
This vette already looks old because of those sharp lines, trying to imitate Lamborghinis
Was there any info on what colors are getting dropped for 2025?
that purple one is ferrari to a T down to the wheels and calipers
Am the C6 corvette zr1 zo6 fan C7 ok C8 no room at all C6 zr1 is a beast.
That new Z51 wing is rough.
That light blue has worn out its welcome as far as blue goes in my opinion, been around for at least 5 to 7 years! I love that they are bringing back the purple, wise move!
Love my C8. Wish GM would go outside their designers when it comes to wheels.
They should have brought in a green instead of sebring orange, just saying!
Agreed
How about a grey ZR1 from The Last Stand

My prediction is you'll buy the ZR1 the second year of production!
Eddie no Zr1 for you lol😢
I really want the ZR1 but the Z06 is easier to get.
This video was filmed on April 25. I can see myself in it 😅
It’s crazy how fast I became a Z06 Fan 😂😂
For being on the 5th year the c8 just looks brand new still. GM did there homework as ford with the warm up mustang dark horse wants 70k no way in hell I’m picking that over the vette at that price
lol
They need to update the Star Trek 1974 interior. Something more classic. They should hired VW or Porsche to do the interior!
Dumb comment
Eddie. Are you saying the red dipped interior you highlighted is definitely a 2025?
This is where we’ve gotten with the chaotic mess C8 design. They actually spend time talking about the different wings…
It's a brutal, purposeful design. I don't think that anyone would call it gorgeous in the real sense.
You see one Vette you see 1000's of them . They're not that exclusive just look everybody gets together to see 2 , 3, 4 versions of the same car.
Ordering for 2025, I think my mind is made up. I am going for that Hysteria Purple.

Stop having old guys pick the colors get a professional to see what would look best and what customers want ie lambo colors that pop
Great idea

Why blue ourple everyrone wants real purple to pop come on chevy
They have to update the factory wheels. Horrible
lol this model has so many lines & creases and plastic trim, it reminds me of a cheap plastic vacuum form toy car
i see these cars here and there... there very low not sure i dig that
Your. Rims don’t look good …..the ones on the purple vette are beautiful
Thank you!
That’s your opinion
How about focusing on the car instead of a stupid color pod mounted on a stand. Good grief!
Good grief!!

Should have rocked the Jean shorts just for the lols
My corvette is best corvette
What is wrong with the Chevy wheel engineering development team? Those new wheels are the worst yet!
i definitely was not thrilled
Tired of not having a cool exotic green color with a pearlescent in there. Chevy, you suck! lol
Wait till you see the new Zora 2525, and it will knock your Sox off.
Idk if I’ll still be around in 2525
These poor Americans cannot get it bloody right can they . I always wait for that day but it never comes . THIS CAR IS OVERSTYLED . Too much over angular nonsense and looks cheap on comparison to anything European . Such a shame because it's such a great car
Buying a "E-Ray" Corvette is like blaspheming Mohammed. A sacrilege.
Dumb comment
I really like purple cars, but that new one is meh af!
if not manual transmission with a clutch its a girl car
You are too young for this type of event. This is for retired people who have worked a lifetime. Go get a job and come back in 30 years. 🤷♂️
That sounds boring
but it's still a Corvette ;(
The "new" corvette already looks OLD.
