I think the 0-60 timer starts just a tad late, but nonetheless it is still around 2.5 seconds and EXTREMELY quick
It's definitely optimistic, but yes, violently quick.
probably starts with the acceleration exceeding a detection threshold rather than when the throttle is pressed or atleast when motion starts. Anyway, magazines use a foot rollout, so the spec is moot w.r.t published values
it does the 1 foot roll out thing all american manufacture (like tesla) like to do.
@@sharlesleglerc whatever the hell THAT is supposed to mean
@@billwillis4402 do u know how to google? “1 foot roll out 0-60”
I'm extremely impressed at how calculated you were on removing the wrapped from the straw at 26:02 🤣
i do that too lol

Stumbled on this channel randomly- and I am really diging it so far. Keep the good content comming. You really found your own good niche 😊
When you put the top in the trunk. Push it in and it clicks in. You don't want to just set the top in as it can bounce around. If you lightly push the top into those brackets it clicks and locks in. Other than that, that thing is mint!!!
Was looking for this comment, yup just give both of the top corners a firm shove and it locks in
Keep bringing this day-in-life vids. Love to see the daily drives ❤❤
"golfist" is my new favorite word
Crazy how much hate the car gets for just having an additional motor in the front. It’s literally the closest an average person can get to experiencing a Porsche 918 or McLaren P1 and you still get a big OHV V8. I’ve been lucky enough to drive the stingray quite a bit and this thing looks better, is more efficient and has more power. People are so mad that it’s even possible to get better MPG when 99% of the corvette customer base has a set budget just like everyone else. This thing is crazy and I can’t wait to drive one.
It actually gets the same mpg as the regular corvette. The electric motor is there just for added speed and torque (although it does beat the z06.). Makes people that are getting upset it has an electric motor even sillier. 😂
Literally literal
I’m only annoyed that they use fake electronic motor noises pumped in through speakers and no option to turn it off
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 indeed indeed
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 whats the point of that? the electronic noise annoying as hell. Only reason I'm not getting one. Actually getting a C8 delivered in 2 weeks!
The Tron sound the E-Ray makes beautiful.
Love the use of the phrase “ shat on the trunk “ in this upload, much enjoyed
Excellent - A really thorough review - Most helpful.
I was just waiting to watch your video on it. Glad it's out
Excellent video / review! I've saw quite a few videos on the E-Ray; all were basically the 'same', other than yours. Your's is more of a true real world review, which I loved. 👍
Hate clibbins, love Barb.
SPEAK UP LIBRUL
Amazing Car! Thanks for sharing.
First video i watched of an e-ray. I love it man! Idk if all c8s have the same features but the front end lift and stealth mode among others are really useful. Had a black 94 lt1 6speed for 10 years but just sold it last November. The targa top much more of a pain to remove with the ratchet lol if i ever get the kinda cash to buy one of these i would. Feel like it handles so well with the awd, especially around corners and fast take offs. way different from my 94 and my dads white 79 stingray with t tops. They just keep getting better.
It’s weird watching someone on TH-cam driving around Ypsilanti, MI. Keep up the good work.
One of the best attainable sport car to date.
The idea of any desirable car being attainable is laughable at best. Want a Porsche 911 GT3 at MSRP? Good luck... Want anything other than a base Corvette especially at MSRP... Good luck. Pretty much if the car is desirable at all and not just a econo box you're not only not getting a deal but you might not even be able to buy one even if you were crazy enough to pay over MSRP for it.
@@Elwyndor Once production picks up and they start releasing more of them it will be fine. Look at how far Z06 prices have dropped since their release.
That cockpit looks perfect for the driver!
TOPHER DRIVES? I BARELY KNOW THE GUY (I wish I did)
Tedward mention 😱
One of the most impressive things about this video is probably how you unwrapped and put that straw in
I love this car. Its super beautiful
Man I did not realize how cool these are
A nice video. I'm excited to be seeing my 1st C8 tomorrow. They are a rare car in UK.
The roof snaps into the mounts in the trunk to help hold it in place too!
it's such a sick car 🔥🔥
24:18 Swearing? On my family-friendly Topher channel? 😂
Lovely video as always. I might need to look into becoming a "golfist", as it sounds pretty fun.
Do not, I repeat, do NOT watch the daily motor DM review for the Hyundai IONIQ 5. Chris says something very "wonderful" while trying to figure out the climate control
I DON NEED NO GODDAMN EELECTRIC BATERY, BACK IN MY DAY MY SPORT MODE WAS DOWNSHIFTING TO 2ND. GOBBLESS
Love the AWD qualities of the Eray.Truly makes it a friendly year round interstate cruiser over the ZO6. Doesn’t really need a supercharger or twin turbos but those are aftermarket options with AWD grip/safety. I understand the attraction of the cross plane soundtrack(which I need to hear in person)but to me personally,the traditional V8 sounds better…at least on video. You Tube owners of the ZO6 commented that the Eray inspires more confidence in the real world such as a mountain road unlike the ZO6 which is more track focused and may tend to want to spin/kick it’s rear out occasionally if flogged too hard etc. My personal conundrum is of course the price. It is a performance bargain but is one Eray or ZO6 worth more than 3-4 cars worth approx. 50k(minus mods etc.) A C8 Z51(approx 85k) may be the more practical choice but for 114k base…the Eray with its ZO6 body kit,standard carbon ceramic brakes,magneride etc. for 35-40k more does continue to pull at the heart strings. So…3-4 new or one Retirement play toy? A lot of ICE cars will still be made(manual/auto)up until 2035. I plan on acquiring as many as I can afford before the electric golf carts take over…
The extra color matching on some of the trim and vents makes it look like someone got carried away with the spraypaint or plastidip.
Beautiful Color !
I know the video is a bit old and you might not see it but huge respect for the owner or you to whoever listened to Lil Peep on Spotify!
my favorite C8, yes over a z06. what a sick car
Nice!!
Might consider getting a Grandsport further down the line once they depreciate a good bit. Love this model
a driver focused infotainment is really the only easy way to use a touchscreen in a car imo
car looks great
Nice review!
That stealth mode is an awesome feature! I read a thread (non eray) where the owner feels compelled to do cold starts with the garage door closed (!) and keep it closed… until the car idles down. To avoid irritating the neighbors. Sounds like a risky strategy.
That seat being borderline too tight for someone who is essentially a string bean (5’ 11”, 150 lbs) is quite unfortunate for those a bit farther towards the higher end of the Bell curve.
That thing does sound cool
Love
i'm 6'3 around 245-250 and it felt comfy to me
so cool this car
Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 ... Corvette C8 is a Supercar
8:09 its crazy how little the car actually turns whrn you turn the steering wheel, its more like a big Chevy suv steeringwise 😂
5:50 I have a c8, you’re suppose to click the roof in place brother, otherwise it’ll scratch/damage the roof 😅
What more I like from this car is its design, its performance, its reliability, its dash, anyway everything about this car.
Don't really care about the hybridization, but I am interested in the AWD. Can't wait to see a winter test.
I personally Vomited after launching the Z06 back to back to back 🤣
I can tell you’re in Michigan bc of the roads lmao. The same roads I go down everyday.
Seems like a great motor carriage for golfists.
I can never get used to that square-ish steering 'wheel'.😂
This car, the E-Ray is Van Halen because it's the Best Of Both Worlds.
With AWD I want to see a winter test.. Different tires and out in the snow…
You know what everyone??? The best cars are built in America.
doubts. The craziest ones for sure though.
MOTDOR
WHAT A MACHINE
channeling Clarkson lol
Feeling claustrophobic just watch him sit down in it.
that tea looks so tasty and refreshing
Good luck to evereryone, because soon is Christmas and I´m happy a lot.
Gonna be tough packing that 'vette with stuff from Costco. LOL
Launching the Eray smooth acceleration? My z51 is fast but violent as hell.
I go to EMU this whole area is so familiar lol
I remember watching a motorweek reteo vid of them reviewing a 1982 corvette 40-55 mph. And it was 3.2 secs. They said it was very quick. This car does 0-60 MUCH quicker. 2.5 secs. The contrasts is very obvious
Sounds like sounds pumped through the speakers, specifically that "electric motor" You would hear that no matter how much throttle you gave this thing if it wasn't synthesized.
In the future I would like to see a more aggressive Stealth Mode. I would want to be able to drive with more throttle % before the V8 kicks in, say, to run local errands or something if I don't want to burn gas. This could just be a programming change. And I bet in the future they could upgrade the battery pack so that it's two or more cups of fuel equivalent instead of one cup of fuel or whatever Tadge said it was. No fundamental changes, just some quality of life tweaks.
I wish there was a daily driver focused version that swaps that... what was it 150HP electric motor? with, say, 30-50HP motor, and a lower rate, but higher density battery of say 9kWh. With PHEV option that adds another 2-4kWh in that frunk.
Dream car. Export to Australia, please GMSV 🙏
how do u mount ur camera ?
Nice interior as usual, but the A-pillar trim looks ancient. Just an observation.
Wish those wheels were an option on the Z06.
Why head up display is always blinking? Is it optional?
Cool
The E-Ray is the only Corvette that has extra torque. The zo6 and the base model have the same amount of torque
lol I dunno if it’s the lens but the car almost looks like a toy from the distance 😂
I’m buying this next week. I’m just kidding can’t afford it 😢
These videos are really intertating.
Just wonder hows seat position? Looks very small room so long distance drive can be make back hurts no?
why cant more normal looking coupes have this future cockpit design, any lexus models or toyota would be so cool. They always make it look so boring, this looks really cool tho.
2.2 seconds with wheel spin 👀👀
Imagine if gm makes a c8 grand sport
I don’t know why they don’t offer it in manual. If it had the tremec 7 speed, yes I’d buy one 100%.
You aren’t wrong about this video being old news from a review standpoint, bc people are putting twin turbo on this car making 1000hp
What's the pull like above 70? That's my biggest gripe with teslas.
What is the MPG if you’re just driving it without trying to do hard pulls
Vbox and Draggy showed 3.3 to 3.5 seconds 0-60. Because it doesn't care about the 1 foot roll out. Interestingly the on board timer started after the 1 foot roll out which is why its lying to us. In fact the 1 foot roll out on this was measured at almost 2 feet! Also the Z51 corvette was so much quicker off the line but after it leaves the line and starts accelerating, thats when the e ray very quickly catches it.
Z51 is not quicker
You really got into character for this video. Saying motor correctly and making old man noises getting in and out of the car.
Can you do a 1988 chevrolet monte carlo ss?
2.2, yeah, lets see the draggy
Its about 3.0 sec on Draggy. What's Draggy shows on regular Stingray, z06, GTR or 911 turbo s??
dude sounds like Tyler from hoovies garage
Its sideswipe the transformer
What steering wheel is this
😢?????
Yeah, my mind is made up. I'm definitely going to get an E-ray, but I will wait for 2025. It will have to be a convertible, though. And forget the all-season tires. Here in Quebec, we have to change to full winter tires in any case, not that I will use this in the winter, so I will opt for full grip summer tires.
Whats really the difference between the E-ray, stingray, Zr1 and Z06???? I assume Stingray is the cheaper version, E-ray is better for daily driving it being awd and z06 and zr1 are more track oriented?
Can you still mod this thing?
2023 3LT frunk doesn't electronically close like that...
No sound system test 😢
You can't go by the pdr for zero to sixty times, others have put more accurate timing systems on the car and are getting about half a second slower times than Chevy' s built in recorder. Still 2.7 to sixty is nothing to sneeze at.
casually daily-drived a v8 corvette
I loved your review with RedLine Reviews, I cant remember how to spell his name but he loved your driving skills in the rain.
does this car get the $5,000 hybrid deductible?
I want me some of them Bimbo brakes!
