I went to the dealer to order one of these thinking I was going to pay 62k. They quickly introduced me to their markup price on all C8s. I quickly introduced them to my backside and left.
Haha...this happened to me in November 2020. I ended up getting a 2017 Jaguar F-type R...great car....I will be getting the convertible c8 when the markup goes away :)
@@sstrey174 how do you like the F-Type so far?
@@anthonyh2540 It's great....I get alot of compliments and it's a beast on the road
I had 2 dealerships in my area that were notorious for dealer markups. You know where they are now? GONE! Stop patronizing dealers that rip you off!
LOL!
I told myself I'm getting a 2020 c8 in 2023, and I will! My friends and family will think it's not a good decision on my part to pay that kind of money for a car, but I for once in my life want to own something I've only imagined myself having. I've been working the same job for 5 years and now make enough to afford the payments and still be able to handle other bills, just I would have to cut spending on things I once did, which would be worth it. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my very own and hit the road.
Facts man
I just bought a 2020 5 days ago with only 6000 miles and I’m absolutely in love with it. I felt the same way. It’s been my dream car for years and now I actually have it. Anything is possible. Speak it into existence! Life is to short to let other people tell you how to live it!
@@akeemthedream007 congrats!!!
@@akeemthedream007 hell yea you only live once
No offense dude but with the description you gave it seems like you're just barely able to pay the car. Why don't you patiently wait a few more years to save up, and not make reckless decisions.
Went with the 2 LT convertible myself, but everybody has a build that's right for them. Great options on your car, and the wrap is on point!
C8 + Mullet is about as Texan as it gets 😂🇨🇱
😂
Joe Dirt would be proud😆
That's not the Texas flag
That’s not a mullet just a terrible hair cut 💇
The Corvette would be Texan if it was smeared with horseshit, you mean!
BRUH I’m gone for a little while I come back and this dude looks like Joe Dirt now !! 😭😭
Thanks for keeping it real! Just because I have it doesn’t mean i have to go all out 🤙🏾
I would buy the base model too.
That was an awesome and informative video! Thank you for providing the reasons why you chose the options you did and did not make. I'm looking to purchase. I was so surprised that it took that long for you to get the car. I'm not happy about that! I want to build it and have it come shortly. Thank you again for posting this fantastic video. It was very helpful to me in making some "on the fence" decisions. Funny comment about the luggage! I guess they are getting you for everything they may as well try and sell you some luggage too!
I have bought base model and now enjoy doing mods and upgrades, recently mounted C8 Victor racings wing and I am very satisfied how it looks and acts.
Welcome back, love the car and here in Texas it is too hot for a mullet!
Great rundown on your 1LT. Smart purchase, nice car!
Absolutely killer. Wasn't sure at first about the wrap, but wow. C8 Corvette is on my list of cars, especially after seeing this video
Your hair looks like you lost a bet. Like my thumbnail actually
Thanks for the video.. I ordered similar...Zeus Bronze, Tan interior.. end of list.. gonna need a lip and wing, and really digging that nasail wrap
Love the format of going thru the options.
Excellent overview and suggestions, very helpful!!
Oh GOD I feel your pain on choosing a color! I just ordered a 1SS1LE and picking the color was the hardest part of the deal.Even after I got to the dealer I still wasn't sure what color I wanted!
totally can understand, all color options are just so damn attractive and each one gives a very unique and special touch to the magnificent C8.
Just got my order locked in. Orange, 1LT, high wing, grey interior, orange belts, body kit. 67800 with museum delivery. So pumped
I went full boat and loved that I did it complete car cost for 2023 including extended warranty for car and wheels, well worth it, front wrap, tinted windows, and UV tint for front windshield. Over sticker was $10, 000, total in this 2023 $130,000 including sales tax. Love this car and you also get a discounted trip to Ron Fellows driving school, definitely do that tons of fun.
Ride looks good af! Love how you did the two tone. I love that look but also don't want to spend the extra amount for the convertible. I plan on doing a very similar build, but Arctic White and red interior, then blacking out the top as well. I want the transparent roof though. Having a Tesla has spoiled me on that feature. Can't wait to hear the exhaust. The stock exhaust leaves some more sound to be desired.
We share a lot of similarities, I’m going for a very similar spec. Will probably keep the callipers black and with blue seat belts. Currently on a waiting list but should get an allocation in the next couple of months. Looking forward to the videos!
I had a C7 Z51. Moved up to a C8 Base 2LT. The C8 is a huge upgrade even without Z51. Reviewers did a disservice telling people they “must” get a Z51.
That's a smart move! Your spec and the money spent is way worth it!
Great info! Thanks!!
I totally understand why you kept the price down. It allowed you to make your own unique enhancements. Sort of like someone buying a Camaro 1lt then doing their own unique mods without breaking the bank in the process.
Nice car. Looking forward to you performance reviews and how it compares/contrasts to your Zl1
Been watching ur videos since u got that purple scat pack charger ... kinda stop watching ur video after u sold it ... now you have my dream car 💙 ima start watching all ur videos again man lol ‼️💯
I think u made ur points clear and yeah u have a nice car and are molding it to how u wnat for way cheaper so good job
Next car: ‘85 IROC Z
Your wheels you picked out are very cool. Most times people pick out garish ugly aftermarket wheels. The trident wheels are ok but not the best. The standard 5 spoke wheels actually look really nice on the car.
Love the Whip! biggggg corvette fan right here!
Congrats and good luck. Enjoy!
The most capable sports car I've ever owned was an 2013 Audi TT RS. It stickered for $64,000 as I had ordered it new from Germany, but surprisingly, my dealer gave me a discount for such a rare car, and I got mine for $58,000. At a price of $60,000, I think the C8 is very well equipped and more capable than my TT RS (excluding AWD), so I would feel just fine ordering a base C8. Black paint (no premium $) and red leather interior. And I'd be quite happy. Better than the best sportscar I've ever owned, and my first midengine car. The challenge is getting a dealer to order what I want and sell it at that price!
I could see the base model being the most collectible one day, the example that shows just what
You make a lot of sense!I really like your car.That was a wise choice.It is like a steak dinner with out the salad and roll.
That looks outstanding well done
Rocking the Tennessee Top Hat....the Kentucky Waterfall....the Beaverpelt....
Corvette was always your best bang for your buck.
In the words of the great Lloyd Christmas :
“I like it A LOT “
Cant help but read it in the voice 😂
that was a bad ass look for the wrap the roof, looking at possible z06 vert to add to the fleet
R P ,Hsvent seen a video in a while,glad this came up in my notifications today
^^ the truth
Beautiful 😍😍 👌🏾. Love the new look of the car.
She's, the red flake metallic, is lovely!
Nice spec man. I still have the Hyper blue 1LE you inspired me to get in 2017. Congrats!
Business in the front party in the back!
This car will build up this channel like the previous chargers did but more
I love it my boy Riley keep up the work and I love the video lot real true talk 💯💯💯💯💯and I love c8 lot
KW 3 coil over suspension. They are serious track upgrades that perform well on street.
That's really cheap a bargain good going man. Inflation will create an even greater divide between the rich and da poor!
Keeps going up. Looking at 2023 model now. Base coup now $ 65 K. Love the look of the black top
I’m torn between Red Mist metallic and Hypersonic gray.
i like the yellow looks fantastic in person!
Just picked up an Hypersonic gray 1LT and love it the color is much nicer in person than pics. Red mist was definitely an option for me too. You cannot go wrong with either color!
That Looks Dam Good Man Super Job.
Pretty much exactly how I will spec mine, maybe a couple more options
I'd probably get the Z51 package for the extra cooling especially since I would like to track the car. I would've made that the ONLY option if I had to IMO, even without the magride since I'd probably upgrade to Ohlins coilovers down the line ;)
It took so long to get into the subject matter that I forgot what this video was about. lol 😂
Good for you. The scatpack challenger is the same way, you get alot with the base scatpack package.
You've actually confirmed my decision to get a Z51 with 2LT. Good observations, though.
I think Z51 adds the electric rear diff. That is a game changer performance thing that I would really want, and it would be hard or impossible to add.
Not sure why he didn’t mention it. That was the big one.
What about the Z51 axle ratio? Does it give you more acceleration? I wouldn't want a higher ring gear in my Z06, because first gear would be unusable (which it was even stock before I got taller wheels), but with the 8 speed auto, could be really useful to launch like that.
I'm with you bro, I really want mag ride and the exhaust, but I can buy the stock blue from a dealer now, without the wait. I want the rocker panels too. for me its not the money, but the wait time.
Great video, I have the similar spec on order, did you get ppf and ceramic coating? The only thing I wish as an option for 1lt as an add on is rearview camera mirror and blind spot alert
Markup is insane right now. Waiting for it to go down, but I’m waiting to get one of these myself
That’s red c8 looks awesome. Wow
That mullet is almost as glorious as the car. 🤟🇺🇸
thanks for the video , i think the c8 is one of the cheapest cars you can find with power also love it with victor racing c8 wing
That looks amazing
Fucking awesome transformation- super sharp vision incorporated here!
Like your reasoning!
wow right on bro good for you.
First time have seen a vid Riley. Glad to see you. Please tel me you are not working for the bow tie folks. We still rock the 2016 challenger with custom PPG harlequin. Com on man get off the rap and get some real paint. Don’t know what’s up don’t see miss RP Productions. Be safe and be careful.
he’s cutting right into your paint with that exacto knife
He sure is!
No paint was harmed. All cuts were made in a gap and when no gap is there, we use knifeless tape.
Oh snap, it’s Cletus’s cousin
Rockin' the Tiger King hair doo lol
I paid 59,995.00 Cash plus tax and delivery for a 2021. For a total of 66248.00 .. No B/S no games ..
Could have done ceramic tint on the clear top to block out the heat.. So u never plan on taking the top off during the day
hi guy, how do you get the high wing from? Thanks for the video.
Would speck it just like this,base,it’s got a good price tag and does the same 0-60 you can literally put a wing on it yourself and better roters and some bremobos you fine
Me: I’m going to get a corvette for $62k
Stealerships: 🤔
I’d just get the cheap wheels then get 20’ in front and 21’ in rear aftermarket 👍🏽 looks way better
Great Video! What wheels do you have on that? I checked your posted links but couldn't find it.
Bro I haven’t seen u in over a year u gained weight and have a mullet 😅💀
He's married😂🤦🏿♂️
That’s the car business for you. At least the gaining weight part.
@@blackice7408 I’m married to just turned 30 and have 2 kids and another on the way 🙏🏻
@@chad1929 my bro works in finance I get it 😅and his checks r just as fat 👌long hours though fo sure
@@885.0ELopez 60-70 hours a week! But we do get paid
RP Productions Great Video I think your C8 Stingray is Awesome despite the fact that it's probably the cheapest on TH-cam and I think it looks awesome with the Carbon Flash top and I can't wait to hear that Corsa Extreme
Such a nice color!
Except for the wrap.
The new Corvette. For those that think Coach clothing and accessories are high fashion.
Bs great price for a world class sports car the C8 is great
It’s so beautiful! TT
Nicest and smartest mullet I know!
How do you find the clearance on the 1LT? Ever scuff the front end on bumps or in a tiered parking garage (not sure what ya call 'em in the USA, we call 'em Parkades here in Canada)? That's one thing I've wondered about.
That is a better bang for your buck because most people like to personalize them anyway. 👍
The roof is awesome wrapped
Is the 1LT seat bottom more comfortable that the 2LT seat bottom? Secondly, is the 1LT seat back confining compared to the 2LT with the seat wing adjustment?
Nice vid nice ride. Quick question why are these vettes at dealerships going for 100k plus? And the seem to have similar options as you do
curious, approximately what does it cost to get the a-pillar / roof wrapped in black?
What after market wheels did you throw on this? I’m Loving the look and price point will probably be nice to!
Lmk thanks!🙏🏼
Wow, lol I was considering the same thing… prices are insane and customs are taking forever 😩
Hopefully you can answer this but i plan on ordering one myself and you said it took about 15 months, now does Chevy delivery it to your home or do you still have to pick it up at a dealership??? Awesome car and vid by the way
Love the black roof.
first time watching channel, dam near died when i saw the mullet
Do you have a problem with blind spots? I heard that was a good reason to get the 2LT because it has a camera in the back.
Dayum. That vinyl is perfect. Sheeeeesh
Never ever do anything to a Corvette body. They are perfect the way they come from the factory. Wrap looks like shit.
@@Atrium512 Huh, how? He literally just “copied” the convertible paint scheme with vinyl lol. It looks like a convertible without actually being a convertible lol. Looks badass
Don’ t feel bad about what you paid for your car and what you did not get, my choice would be my choice not somebody else’s choice and l would mod it to my choice, and the price was right for a beautiful car, just enjoy your car.👍👍🇨🇦
Yo the hair style 😂😂😂😂
I want a Z51 with no other options, wearing the flashiest 'free' paint (Torch Red). Its all about performance/looks to $ ratio. I'd then remove the Z51 spoiler (looks cheesy and lowers the top speed) and sell it. If I had to pay extra for a color, it would be Accelerate Yellow, but I'm probably too cheap for that. I would probably get the museum pkg, as I just moved to Kentucky and have always been an extreme Corvette enthusiast. Then my obligatory go-fast and appearance mods starting with twin turbos! (It's in my blood to modify). I see a C8 Z06 killer (without the awesome racecar sound, whistling turbos instead) for significantly less $$. 😎
That wrap.... changed... everything
