Hey everyone! YOUR VOTE MATTERS IN THIS! C8 corvette, Lamborghini Huracan, Audi R8 th-cam.com/users/EpicDreamChallengecommunity Thanks for all your guys support! 😄👍
My 5 worst problems: 5. The nacelles - only serves to dress up the rollover protection, match the targa (it's not a coupe) profile, make a convertible feel enclosed, and make the wind noisy and turbulent. The rear glass on the targa is even more pointless. 4. All the stares. Yes, I'm reaching for something to complain about already. 3. I will almost certainly get arrested at some point for driving this like it should be driven. 2. Where has this been all of my life? The C4 onwards should have been mid-engined. 1. The 15 month agonizing wait to get my hands on mine.
I love the look of the nacelles so I have no problem with those. Dont mind the stares lol. And I agree 100% They should have made it mid engine C4 and onwards! The wait did suck but man was it worth it. Cant wait for the Z06!
Have not looked at a lot of McLaren's , but that would not surprise me. The Chevy dealer was able to fix the gaps on the c8 no problem. I think a lot of people get excited when they see an exotic car like a McLaren or Ferrari and over see things that would not be acceptable on other cars because they get distracted. Thanks for the feedback! 👍
😄Hey everyone I love my C8 more than any car I have ever owned, this is just a conversation on trying to get Chevy to make things better. If we don't voice our opinions about the negative nothing will get done. Also I definitely don't want anyone to have to pay for #6 if the warranty has expired! 👍
Hate to tell you but my experience with their warranty on the headlight issues says to me GM really doesn’t care about making a quality product or keeping long term customers .
This video makes me like my C4 more and more! It looks to me like they hired an engineer right out of college and turned him loose on this car with no supervision........All the things you mentioned are ridiculous design flaws which on a 100,000 dollar car are completely unacceptable. ..t
I feel ya man! But Ill be honest. From what I hear the AVERAGE Price of a new car is 48k in America(friends that work at dealerships told me this) And I just got my wife a new suv around that price and the c8 destroys it with its interior and hp. I know this is an apples and oranges comparison but a truck is the price of the c8 corvette...and not even a top tier truck. By buddy got a 2500 ram and it cost more than my C8.....thats nuts. So these things dont surprise me anymore...lol
Have not herd or know anyone with a transmission issue thankfully but some dealerships are crazy. I lost an allocation awhile back because the old manager left the dealership that was holding my original allocation and the new manager wiped everyone off the list and started an new c8 list... went from msrp to 20k over. I told them I would never recommend anyone to there dealership and veer ppl away if they asked. And I told them to have a nice day and walked out. And that was also one of the BEST reviewed Chevy dealers in Oregon....very sad.
I drive my c7 for a month before washing it and i dont even have brake dust at all.. stock base brakes.. but i barely use brakes, i downshift all the time and slow down in advance when possible..
Awesome man. Almost got a C7 awhile back, great cars! Im assuming a manual? Its been so long since I had a shifter it would be nice to add one to the garage! I drive 90% of the time in manual mode in the C8 but it just docent have the same effect as downshifting with a stick and slowing down.
@@weirdshibainu C7 Corvettes have rev matching so wear on the drive tram would be minimal. I know because I have a manual C7 Z06 and I don’t have a brake dust problem at all.
Thanks for the info man. I probably would go that route if I was going to keep the car but i`m upgrading to the z06. After 8k miles and lots of wheel cleaning I cant wait! 👍
Nope. About 4k from China and its the same supplier as most manufacturers. Skip the middleman and buy direct. The panel gap issue happened on earlier cars, but this is the first posting of that issue in two years.
Typical QC issues with GM . But worse than this is check out headlight issues . I have 2k miles on my 21 , garaged and covered , only washed once , always wipe down with detail spray and California dusters. Both headlights have developed weird water marked on inside. GM does not want to warranty repair it . Dealer tried to tell me was on outside , and due to PPF install. Took to PPF install dealer and they said it’s garbage , proceeded to get headlight polishing liquid and machine . Did nothing of course . Told GM and dealer then they blamed it on use of heat gun on film. That’s garbage as well , installer put in writing did not use heat gun for XPELL install. Called dealer back waiting to hear. This issue is known and is out there on various corvette forums and was known on C7 . Any car can have issues, but when a repair that’s thousands and is obvious defective part is not covered and GM puts you through this don’t buy that car or any of theirs for that matter . Looks great , nice and shinny , fun to drive but they won’t stand behind any major issue like this . If does not get fixed will look at class action possibilities . Was going to buy the z06 but now would tell you stay away from this car due to warranty is useless.
Wow sorry to hear about what has happened to you so far. The dealer I work with has fortunately been able to fix everything I have run into so far for free so I have not had a bad experience yet. But I have heard of nightmare scenarios that you have been talking about and that would suck! Also definitely not all dealers are created equal. Most are not so good to put it lightly and dont have your back. Its far and few for the good ones from my experience. But I hope you have better experiences in the future man! 😂
It was by cubic ft. And it was pillows of all things, so it soft closed shut and I thought nothing of it. It all was clear inside the car no lights or warnings on. When we took the top down by pressing the button it buckled at the location in the vid and popped from the force. It was so loud I thought someone rear ended us. When I closed the top it was like only 1/8th of an in higher in the trunk and it caused that damg and a large crack on the underside as well that I didnt show. So I may use that htc top for a project and get a new one.
My C7 has brake dust,and 1/4 panel gaps.One reason people get black wheels is because of the brake dust.This is why you never buy the first 2-3 year model of any new car.I think the weight of the glass is why it is not used.
@@OwenJamesC8 I think there is a panel between the engine and the roof bay to protect the roof from the heat so the glass would not show you anything but an empty bay or the roof when the roof is down.
I have an HTC since June 2021, and it is just fantastic. Aside from the brake dust, which is not a big deal, I didn't experience any flaws with the my car. Sometimes you have to realize that cars are made by human not God, and human can not be perfect!
Very true Gratz on the HTC, although I daily drive my C8 and take the car to a lot of car nights, cleaning brake dust every other day sucks(that soon will be fixed). But to be honest most exotics over 200k have even more issues. My C8 has been amazing never the less. I am putting a wide body on this one and have another 2023 ordered through Criswell Chevy and also a z06 allocation hopefully for a 2023. So I love this car much more than the competition. 😀👍
For sure ! Its like a 80% dust reduction and a few ppl I know with c8s have done it. Also ceramic coated wheels helps. I will probably go the brake pad option depending on when I get my z06. Thanks for the comment! 👍
@@derekb5749 do you have reading comprehension problems? I said they make about 80% less dust. I did not say they make 0 dust. See 80% from 100% is 20%. So…… they make approximately 20% of the dust from OEM pads. Of course this is also something you can look up with a simple Google search instead of making yourself look the fool. But hey you do you.
Almost where the seat and rails meets. It’s partially covered by the floor mat. Btw: that floor mat is extremely cheap. Only after driving the car for thee days and the Mat started to deteriorate.
Thanks Andrew, yes a few of the things were a bit nit picky but the main point I was trying to get across was the very last issue that happened to me because it did 4k+ in damg and would hate to see that happen to someone else. Thanks again. 👍
Great video , Im trying to arrange a test drive but with only 1 dealership in the UK Im not driving 400 miles for it ! Looks like the Jag F type for me .
1) what would you see through the glass with the top down? 2) you can adjust that. 3) terrible design. lol shouldve put the release in the trunk like the c6 4) agreed 5)you can change the pads to give less dust. just not as good a brake performance if you dont mind bonus) that sucks... id be telling gm.
How many miles are on your car? its the AC condensers that take the beating and every c8 I have seen in person has had noticeable dents in them. A friend that tracks his is probably the worse I have seen. About 1/3 dented. But if you don't drive much or don't have a lot of rocks around on your roads it probably wouldn't be as bad.
Nevermind the negative comments @epic. This world is becoming a world of have/have nots and poor people don't care about quality and say defetious things like "nit-picking" and "stop crying". Great vid and thanks for the info
I feel ya man! Thanks for the support 👍 Some people whether its good or bad, big or small issues just want to be fan boys of a brand. I love what Chevy did with this car but nothings perfect! Thanks again.
Isn’t the lack of glass just because the HTC roof goes there? So glass would either show the black plastic with the roof up, or the roof with it down. Not attractive.
Yes and no, like I said in the vid if the trunk was not there things could have been pulled back more like the Mclaren, And yes a small piece of glass. then maybe the heat cover wouldn't have to be there. because the top wouldn't be siting on the engine. But I would honestly rather have a trunk than a piece of glass like I said. And the engine isnt very attractive either.
Yea Its definitely not a deal breaker or anything. And as you said engine isn't amazing looking especially with the plastic cover. But the z06 on the other hand...I dont think they will, but glass would be nice on that car.
Funny you say that. Yesterday a newer C63s amg parked next to me at Costco lol. But honestly I love the C8 corvette and I am waiting for the Z06. Its going to be an Epic car!😄👍
I’m sorry I watched this as I will never recoup the 6 minutes I just lost. You should have bought the other 2 cars with the windows if you weren’t so cheap.
I know George! I feel ya! This car is just so good its hard to find negative things to talk about. But the 6th thing with the sensor malfunction did cost over 4k to fix if it makes you feel any better lol. 👍 Also we have 2 more c8s on the way because we love them so much 😂
Really hard up for content I see. Don't want brake dust, don't get a Z51 because base car doesn't have that problem. Who is looking inside air intakes?
Hey Phil, to each their own. I love my c8 and would buy another....and another, and MAYBE another.... and for sure the z06! Im just not a fan boy. I love all mid engine cars and then some. But yes if they had offered ceramic brake pads and rotors option I would have got it. And air intakes is a known issue across the forums. Even admins think so. But either way best regards and drive safe👍
Why would your battery die several times on your car, you’re not driving enough or you need to put a charger on it? Letting your battery completely drain definitely shortens the life of it. And you overloading the trunk and damaging the car is not a design defect that’s an owner defect.
It dies because I do alot of fundraisers and let people sit in the car, Honestly not even a big deal lol. As for the trunk its suppose to warn you inside the car and the HTC isn't suppose to operate if the trunk is over loaded. But sometimes it still does. Thats where I'm getting at. On top of that the dealer has already fixed it. So yes it was a sensor issue. If the car was out of warranty I would have cost over 3k with the damg it caused because they had to replace the whole htc top that sits over the engine from the crack on the underside.
I would like to pay msrp and get a product that when you use the hard top convertible it doesn't break and cost 4k to 5k in damg if it was out of warrant. Aside from that the rest was not that big of a deal. And a few will be fixed with my z06 order so Ill be very happy then. 👍
It took all I had to figure those things out so. But that's not stopping me from two more C8s on order I have. Another standard c8 htc and the z06 as well. Also doing a wide body currently on this c8 lol!
Im not dissatisfied much at all. With all those things wrong with it I still love it! 👍 Although the last chip on number six went through to the underside and made a huge crack. Over 3k to get it repaired and replaced and repainted .But i`m still thankful I have it!
@@OwenJamesC8 I don’t understand why you didn’t take the car back to the dealer and make them fix the things that are wrong show them the gaps show them all the problems you have a warranty on it don’t let them get away with it
@@redstingraycorvette so the panel gap they will fix. But they are still looking into why the sensor didn't catch the truck not closed with the htc operation. And all that damg.
If you’re stuck in the trunk I think your wife would pause the video. Lmao. Great heads up but the 5 issues are benign. I’m more concerned about lifters and bearings missing from rear axle.
If I was stuck in the truck my wife would laugh then record it and send it to my friends lol. Also I looked the lifters and bearings missing and that's crazy!!! The article said 22 of them left the factory from 2021 to 2022s ... Thanks for the heads up haha! Thank God mine is a 2020👍
2026 ? Why not sooner? You can get one from Macmulkin Chevrolet in 12 months. Unless your under age, have a finical goal to earn it, talking z06 or typo lol.
Yikes that's sad. I was hoping for much better quality for the C8 Corvette, but with all you pointed out it does seem like this is a concept car. Hopefully Chevy fixes all these issues.
Even with these issues its easy to over look with how good this car is👍. They still knocked it out of the park. If this car was 150k that would be a different story.
I can see you have a sense of humor 👍! I hate the vett so much Im actually putting another order in for a htc if I cant find a ok one at auction for the channel.
Well I actually am a millionaire with 0 debt including no mortgages(something I think everyone should strive for)....soooo....Just because you buy a c8 doesn't mean you have no money. As for the C8 I think its an amazing car but I love lambo as well. If you want you should ask my subscribes about it. They voted for me to keep the car and not get a lambo Huracan and mod it up. They literally voted against it. And now I have 2 more C8s on the way while I chop this one up and throw a wide body on it. I do think something else for the channel would be good though. Any recommendations?
Why is not having a piece of glass over the engine a PROBLEM? That panel gap is horrible! How many people are going to be looking into the side air vents? When you said you are nit picking you really are. I don't know of a car on the market that someone can't nit pick little things. Maybe start walking instead of driving a car? 🤣🤣🤣Oh wait then you will start nit picking your shoes and the ground you are walking on. 🤣🤣🤣
I actually nit pick the roads I walk and drive on in Portland!(not shoes) But that's because they Tax the shit out of you and don't re-invest into those roads to fix the pot holes that have cost me over 2 grand in tires.....so yes....already doing that! As for the C8? Like you said anyone could nitpick the shit out of it but it is still the Best car in my opinion for the money, That includes the Z06 as well even with its price. As for the sensor failing and the htc top binding then cracking, I have never herd that from other C8 owners so probably something that just happed to mine....just ended up costing over 3500$ As for the vents you would be surprised how many ppl say something about them especially Porsche guys 😂👍
Just because you have a c8 doesn't mean your rich, many diesel work trucks cost as much if not more than a c8 now. With that said I just want Chevy to put out the best quality product they can for the money.👍
Nothing wrong with drama. The bonus issue that happened was estimated over 4k if not for warranty because whole back had to be replaced. I would say thats a big deal! 👍

My 5 worst problems:

Why not just change out the brake pads to some ceramic ones? Very little dust with those

Funny you say that. Yesterday a newer C63s amg parked next to me at Costco lol. But honestly I love the C8 corvette and I am waiting for the Z06. Its going to be an Epic car!😄👍
@@OwenJamesC8 Watch maxton design c8,looks awesome
Lol just way over price GM said this car is under $60k??? Lol trying adding another $60k to that
Alot of dealers still sell at msrp on the east coast. So if your willing to wait a year or less you can get one at msrp 👍
@@OwenJamesC8 definitely don't mind waitting 2 years love corvettes but $120,000 naw
I’m sorry I watched this as I will never recoup the 6 minutes I just lost. You should have bought the other 2 cars with the windows if you weren’t so cheap.
I know George! I feel ya! This car is just so good its hard to find negative things to talk about. But the 6th thing with the sensor malfunction did cost over 4k to fix if it makes you feel any better lol. 👍 Also we have 2 more c8s on the way because we love them so much 😂
It's gm...lower your expectations.
LOL love it! thanks for bringing me back down to earth .
Many other exotic cars have quality problems as welll
This I know. After I sell a another place I'm looking at a used Aventador or Huracan. Looking forward to fixing those problems!
Really hard up for content I see. Don't want brake dust, don't get a Z51 because base car doesn't have that problem. Who is looking inside air intakes?
Hey Phil, to each their own. I love my c8 and would buy another....and another, and MAYBE another.... and for sure the z06!
Im just not a fan boy. I love all mid engine cars and then some. But yes if they had offered ceramic brake pads and rotors option I would have got it.
And air intakes is a known issue across the forums. Even admins think so. But either way best regards and drive safe👍
Thanks for saying what I was thinking as I watched this video. Thought I was really going to learn something. Just another crybaby video
@@Toddzilla11 😄Sorry it was not sufficient for you. I will work harder to push out better content in the future. Thanks for the feedback! 👍
@@Toddzilla11 Quit crying you get what you pay for!
This dude is missing the passenger side intake guard.
“Smash that subscribe button!” Original. 🙄🥱
I have c6 3LT grand sport got Problems also
Yea I think to some degree all sports cars have there THING haha.
Why would your battery die several times on your car, you’re not driving enough or you need to put a charger on it? Letting your battery completely drain definitely shortens the life of it. And you overloading the trunk and damaging the car is not a design defect that’s an owner defect.
It dies because I do alot of fundraisers and let people sit in the car, Honestly not even a big deal lol.
As for the trunk its suppose to warn you inside the car and the HTC isn't suppose to operate if the trunk is over loaded. But sometimes it still does. Thats where I'm getting at.
On top of that the dealer has already fixed it. So yes it was a sensor issue. If the car was out of warranty I would have cost over 3k with the damg it caused because they had to
replace the whole htc top that sits over the engine from the crack on the underside.
@@OwenJamesC8 now I understand, good luck with your car
@@peterw2714 Sry I didnt say it better in the video. But thanks for the question!
So what you are saying is you want to spend $15,0000 for the car...
I would like to pay msrp and get a product that when you use the hard top convertible it doesn't break and cost 4k to 5k in damg if it was out of warrant.
Aside from that the rest was not that big of a deal. And a few will be fixed with my z06 order so Ill be very happy then. 👍
Nip picing a bit....no reason not to buy..
It took all I had to figure those things out so. But that's not stopping me from two more C8s on order I have. Another standard c8 htc and the z06 as well. Also doing a wide body currently on this c8 lol!
Brake dust is a karmic debt!
hell yes lol
If I was so dissatisfied with the car I would’ve never bought it that’s why you don’t by the first or second year run a new car
Im not dissatisfied much at all. With all those things wrong with it I still love it! 👍 Although the last chip on number six went through to the underside and made a huge crack. Over 3k to get it repaired and replaced and repainted .But i`m still thankful I have it!
@@OwenJamesC8 I don’t understand why you didn’t take the car back to the dealer and make them fix the things that are wrong show them the gaps show them all the problems you have a warranty on it don’t let them get away with it
@@redstingraycorvette so the panel gap they will fix. But they are still looking into why the sensor didn't catch the truck not closed with the htc operation. And all that damg.
@@OwenJamesC8 Keep after them do not let up the more noise you make they will fix the things just to get rid of you
If you’re stuck in the trunk I think your wife would pause the video. Lmao. Great heads up but the 5 issues are benign. I’m more concerned about lifters and bearings missing from rear axle.
If I was stuck in the truck my wife would laugh then record it and send it to my friends lol. Also I looked the lifters and bearings missing and that's crazy!!! The article said 22 of them left the factory from 2021 to 2022s ... Thanks for the heads up haha! Thank God mine is a 2020👍
Can’t wait to get my C8 in 2026!!
2026 ? Why not sooner? You can get one from Macmulkin Chevrolet in 12 months. Unless your under age, have a finical goal to earn it, talking z06 or typo lol.
None of these are actual problems.
exactly !
Yikes that's sad. I was hoping for much better quality for the C8 Corvette, but with all you pointed out it does seem like this is a concept car. Hopefully Chevy fixes all these issues.
Even with these issues its easy to over look with how good this car is👍. They still knocked it out of the park. If this car was 150k that would be a different story.
Nobody buys perforemance cars for real world....that's like saying I bought snowboots for the club..weren't the best dancing shoes
Its so much enjoyable driving whatever you want whenever you want. 👍 And when the Z06 comes out I wont have to worry about brake dust lol.
😂😂😂
I can see you have a sense of humor 👍! I hate the vett so much Im actually putting another order in for a htc if I cant find a ok one at auction for the channel.
You should have just bought a Corolla
Every car has issues even the c8. Maybe you should watch 5 things I love about my C8 lol. 👍
GM finally built an affordable super car so that you guys can buy one and feel like a millionaire. In return you guys are whining like a little kid.
Well I actually am a millionaire with 0 debt including no mortgages(something I think everyone should strive for)....soooo....Just because you buy a c8 doesn't mean you have no money. As for the C8 I think its an amazing car but I love lambo as well. If you want you should ask my subscribes about it. They voted for me to keep the car and not get a lambo Huracan and mod it up. They literally voted against it. And now I have 2 more C8s on the way while I chop this one up and throw a wide body on it.
I do think something else for the channel would be good though. Any recommendations?
Why is not having a piece of glass over the engine a PROBLEM? That panel gap is horrible! How many people are going to be looking into the side air vents? When you said you are nit picking you really are. I don't know of a car on the market that someone can't nit pick little things. Maybe start walking instead of driving a car? 🤣🤣🤣Oh wait then you will start nit picking your shoes and the ground you are walking on. 🤣🤣🤣
I actually nit pick the roads I walk and drive on in Portland!(not shoes) But that's because they Tax the shit out of you and don't re-invest into those roads to fix the pot holes that have cost me over 2 grand in tires.....so yes....already doing that! As for the C8? Like you said anyone could nitpick the shit out of it but it is still the Best car in my opinion for the money, That includes the Z06 as well even with its price. As for the sensor failing and the htc top binding then cracking, I have never herd that from other C8 owners so probably something that just happed to mine....just ended up costing over 3500$ As for the vents you would be surprised how many ppl say something about them especially Porsche guys 😂👍
Rich people problems
Just because you have a c8 doesn't mean your rich, many diesel work trucks cost as much if not more than a c8 now. With that said I just want Chevy to put out the best quality product they can for the money.👍
I got a solution for your brake dust issues!!!! Ceramic coat your wheels... BOOM problem solved
Thanks man I appreciate the advice! 👍
You will still get brake dust. Ceramic is not a cure all.
Too much drama.
Nothing wrong with drama. The bonus issue that happened was estimated over 4k if not for warranty because whole back had to be replaced. I would say thats a big deal! 👍
I have never seen such a nit-picker. WHAT CAR WOULD MEET YOUR STANDARDS??
If its any consolation I actually love this car. It was hard to find things wrong with it, but the video had to be made lol 😄👍
This sounds like a poor man comment lol.
So you don't see the car before you buy?........
