Thank-you for joining us!
The convertible is my favorite C8! With the the carbon flash body blades, spoiler, roof and nacelles. Very nice 👍🏽
Love the carbon flash necilles and carbon flash roof.
Convertible all one color ... looks the best, for me
I never thought about me driving a yellow car, but wow, yellow and black, looks awesome!
Good day Rick; the HTC looks amazing, myself I like the top in carbon flash; wishing all in our Corvette community & family, a wonderful day and weekend; Corvettes # 1 !
We'll be going full black roof and nacelles. Love it!!!!! Thanks Rick!!!!
Big Question no one has asked. Both hardtop and convertible look good. What one is best left outside not in a garage. The coupe has vents that water gets into and leaks into the engine. Convertible looks more protected.
I'm with you - black roof and nacelles especially on the bolder, lighter colors - silver, rapid blue, accelerate yellow, red. Not so much on the darker colors - elkhart lake blue, brown
.
He Really has the Voice for this!
It's funny how I was 100% pro coupe when the C8 first arrived and I started watching CZcams videos. I've done a ton of research looking at colors, options, and features to help decide what I wanted for my C8 and upcoming Z06 orders! My overall need and use for the car has pushed me over to he 100% HTC group now.
My C8 & Z06 will be a drivers car. Long road trips with a few track days a year in various forms. The loss of 85%-90% of your trunk space with the coupe was the deciding factor. So, now I am 100% HTC for my needs and use of the car.
To answer your question, I really like the full roof and nacelles painted in carbon flash, for a more exotic look. 2nd. would be the all body color option. I have never liked the carbon flash nacelles only look because it doesn't flow well with the top up, but looks great when it's down.
I love the daily updates. So much that I was very interested in buying my C8 from Rick so I sent him an e-mail over a month ago and never received a reply. It seems he is more interested in doing his daily vlogs than customer service. No worries as he isn't the only dealer selling the C8

just saw this, I admit, I am behind man...my apologies....truly many diversions that prevent us from doing business..no helper just me...I will search you out in hopes I can still help. Appreciate you being on the channel
or throw new email so it comes to the top and I will be back on line later today, thanks-you again EMAIL; rickconti@coughlincars.com
Mommy always told me that if you can’t say something nice then just keep your mouth shut
@@skslone9450 I am sure your mommy spoke up if she needed to have an issue addressed.
Both paint styles look good! Hard to chose one over the other. Corvette Strong 💪
Yellow and black of course. Black roof, necilles..yes, yes..just need to see that accelerate yellow in person..
I couldn't resist. Put down my deposit on a red C8 convertible last week and went with the black top. Sooooo Cool!
A year ago I ordered the yellow with the all black top and that is the first one I have seen. It looks spectacular.
Still love Carbon flash painted roof and nacelles Rick, love them!
I loved the yellow convertible!
I absolutely love the HTC with both the roof and nacelles I’m carbon flash-Amazing!
Painted roof for sure in my estimation , beauty of course Rick is in the beholder but I like painted roofs. Thanks and stay safe 😷.
I like the top same as body
Body color is better. The black nacelles create a weird looking line where it separates from the body color. Also, when it’s one solid color, it looks more like a coupe; that is, you can’t tell it’s a convertible with the solid color roof.
I really like the Carbon Flash painted roof and nacelles. Makes it look more exotic.
I like the all carbon flash look
I'm going convertible body color all over..... and dang those are good looking cars
I think the carbon black top convertible looks awesome .
👍🏼🏁🏎
i love the all black top. My dream spec is a white convertible with the black top and nacells with black wheels and red/black interior and red calipers.
I ordered yellow HTC with full carbon flash roof, nacelles, mirrors and spoiler and black wheels of course. It should be built next week 🤞
Weredid you order it from ,what was the cost
@@kervinmorleyjr.7412 Capital Chev Calgary Alberta, paid msrp, 3lt z51 with all the options $117,000 Cdn
I love the painted roof and the black nacelles!
Me too. I will order black roof and black nacelles on my torch red cht. Will probably have to wait until 2022 for delivery but what the heck. I'm only 75 so I'll be around:-) I ordered mine, in Vancouver Canada, on Sept 10, 2020 so I'm going to be dreaming for a long time.......................I have something else to live for now......
i like painted carbon flash iam going to take this option with the yellow its a good choice a think
Carbon flash. The divide makes it look so awesome
I love the hard top so Beautiful. Best car out there.
Roof need to be black to match. Makes HTC look much more exotic.
The yellow, with yellow roof and black nacelles looks awesome. Personally I prefer my cars a bit more low key (not really possible with the C8 though), and would probably go for body color on both.
Convertible looks best to me in all one color
I prefer the it done in body color. All black would be my second choice. Nice investigative work Rick.
Thanks so much Rick for all the great videos! Placed my deposit today, so staring at the build configurator right now trying to decide on the roof and nacelles! Tough choice as they both look great!
That Corvette store gets me every time just can’t pass up some things! Corvette Strong 💪
Definitely in carbon flash 👍🏽
My 2021 is Torch Red and I think I want the Nacelles red as well as the roof. The Z51 spoiler will be red as well. I am torn on the wheels. I guess it’s my age (68) but my favorite color is “chrome!” So, I am NOT going with black. Right now the order is the standard 5 spoke in painted silver, but I think I will either go with a fully chrome wheel, after market or the spectra gray trident wheel. The price increases on the front end lift and the Z51 package almost priced me out of upgraded wheels, but I just can’t pay that much for a car and then get those 5 spoke standards.
Painted choice 1.
Roof and nacelles carbon flash choice 2
Roof and Nacelles carbon flash is awesome!
Exciting to see that the Corvettes are rolling in almost daily now. Thanks Rick for the marketplace updates.
Great video. Just ordered my C8 HTC in Arctic White with carbon flash accents and the black roof. Going to a be a long few months waiting.
I like the black top with the black nacelles....It really gives it a super car look.
That yellow is badass.
Hey Rick, The HTC C8s are stunning. I like the Carbon Flash accents personally. The more I look at them the better I like them over the coupe. I have really never been a convertible lover, but these HTC have changed that feeling for me. I owned convertibles and really did not like the air leaks and water leaking that came with them. The later cars seemed to solve a lot of those issues as well.
Thanks again for posting uploads for us. You are appreciated Stay safe Jerry
Hey Rick, Spoke with my dealer today, and Yes you can now order a z51 spoiler for your non z51 corvette in 2021.. I will be!! FYI, Erik in RI
HTD in Rapid Blue with RB Nacells and Body blades
Love the vlogs Rick!! Happy Friday buddy!! Love those convertibles!!
I love both but would definitely go with body color with racing stripes! Will they ever offer a tinted glass roof ? Thanks PS : I think the painted calipers cost too much and the convertible (is a must for me) saves you the cost of a painted engine cover. I do miss the manual ! Thanks again
Once again - You hit it out of the ballpark Rick - Great Show! My pick is Carbon Flash Painted Nacelles with Stripes on the car colored roof. If I also did the roof in Carbon Flash with the Nacelles then - No Stripes.
Rick - for me its easy - Nacells and Top (Carbon Flash). It looks good when the top is up and when its down those Nacells look EPIC! Should have been called a C8 Spider! But - as we see what is easy for one is not for the other just my opinion. I like the separation that way sir.
Your videos are truly fantastic and thanks for making them for us!!! GREAT WORK!
We were just there last Sunday. The guys doing the bush hogging left one of the gates open. I got some good shots of the back lot. Me also on the Corvette store. I got yet another t shirt and she said did you need another one? Lol. I said yep!
Yo Rick! love your excitement selling a Vette...I'm from Detroit but I live in Oklahoma and when I can get my Corvette, I would surly like to get it from you man!!
Hi Rick, I have a what if/what do you think question about the HTC. With the different configurations for the top you mentioned in you video , could GM make the top transparent like on the coupe? How do you think it would look? As you know, with the transparent top, the inside of the car feels somewhat less confined. So with a transparent HTC I feel you would have the best of both worlds . That's if you prefer the transparent top to begin with.

Rick - I like all 3 combinations- if I were to order one today I don’t have a clue what I would chose - probably the body color would have an effect of the combo I would chose. Loved all the convertibles you showed today - thanks so much.
I like the carbon flash roof and nacelles but the body side blade in car color. Check it out in Red Mist Tintcoat and Sliver Flare in the 2021 Visualizer! It is a very different look!
You worth a million 👍👍👍
Non painted. Best of both worlds, looks like a coupe with Ferrari style flying buttresses, but you get a full convertible and save the trunk space with the roof down. Mine was built on Tuesday....
Roof needs to be done in black as well....
The yellow and bronze corvette looks alot better as a convertible.
I am a coupe man myself, I want to see that V-8, I would go with all one color, the C-8 would look good in primer, no matter what you choose, it will look good
I like the Body Color Top and Nacelles plus the side slash.
I like the carbon flash top.
I like the convertible in all body colour or just the roof in carbon flash
Anything looks amazing on the HTC very cool Much better looking then the coupe
To me, the body color continuing throughout looks classier. But in any case the roof should match the nacelles. Chevy, please bring back the bronze!
Rick, I think I'd be okay with either the body color or carbon flash nacelles. As the late Marty Feldman said in Young Frankenstein... "I'm easy!"
I'm getting a convertible in red mist without painting the nacelles
Rick. I also ordered the convertible. Artic white with nacelles and side vents in carbon flash. It was a difficult choice, but liked the color contrast.
Great videos, Rick! I am number 8 on my local dealer list for the Stingray, and number 12 on the Z06 list. Getting both, and keeping my ‘16 Z06 because I love it! My Stingray will be torch HTC with body color accents, nacelles, top, and body color high wing with naturally dipped! Z51/mag sel, front lift, 3LT. Very excited! I have learned much from your videos, and I appreciate you doing them. 👍
Mine is body colored roof. Carbon flash nacelles.
I thought I wanted a HTC after seeing Jeremy Welborn’s HTC but this video helped me solidify my decision on a coupe. Thanks Rick
Cool, why so if I may ask..appreciate the feedback
Rick Corvette Conti I don’t like the way HTC looks from the rear. From the sides it looks great but not the rear. I can’t quite explain.
That Bronze looks Boss amazing!
I prefer the full Carbon Flash roof. My friend took delivery of his 2020 Z51 on August 1. It is Elkhart Blue with Tension Blue interior. Like you, I wasn't to sure about it until I saw it in person. It works together. From your follower in Saskatchewan, Canada.
My feel is for the Carbon Flash look but I like to be able to see the engines in the coupes. The coupe gives you both worlds. Keep up good work. I do like the Yellow one though.
Body color Roof, carbon flash Nacelles on a rapid blue car.. Blacked out emblems, black wheels with the 2 tone tension blue interior.. Sorry Rick but I love that configuration too bud
Carbon flash all the way. Would love to see one in CMGM or SGM with sky gray interior and 2 tone seats.
I would do the carbon flash on the white convertible. Just like my C 7 arctic white that I’m slowly blacking out. Make no sense. Or getting the z 51 spoiler o. Sting ray. I enjoy having a 51 items on my sting ray 2 LT . Yes passion!!
I ordered the yellow HTC, black roof and nacelles, black high wing spoiler. I shall then go forth to hunt down Porsches, Mustangs, and Hellcats...
1st I prefer the carbon flash Nacelles only, 2nd choice would the top and nacelles in carbon flash, looks too much like coupe if painted all the same color
Can you do another video on how we get to join the people to order a corvette? The first step was to email but they are not answered . Are they used to make an order list when allocation is announced ? You said that’s why we had plenty of time but others have orders including yourself so what do we need to do?
That Elkhart Lake blue 3LT Z51 has my name on it!
Hard decisions! Z51 or Z06
Great vlog Rick! All though I like the coupe style better but for the HTC I would choose the roof and nacelles in carbon flash it adds more to the exotic look of the C8👍🏻
Wow, they all look awesome....!!!! How does one decide...??? I know, I know, but I'm so undecided about so many things.....!!! Decisions, decisions. At least I don't have to decide right now..!! Hehe.....Thanks for sharing, I just love the new corvettes. I'll eventually have to decide of course, Hardtop coupe or convertible, the decisions just keep getting harder and harder. 😎. But I'm confident I'll be able to finally decide. What a way to go though 😉 .
Rick, tough decision. The white in the body color looks great. But I agree with you carbon flash is the way I would go. Just my two cents. The convertible will definitely close the gap with the coup this year. And I’m a coup guy.
Corvettes are the Lays Potato Chips of cars,,, you can't just pick one... so many beautiful colors and combos, must be a billionaire to have them all. If I chose a HTC I think I would go with ALL carbon, the contrast looks great.
Awesome content! Keep up the good work, Rick!!
My favorite is full carbon Flash!
Great vid Rick. I heard the sirens. Thought oh shit he's busted. Lol
The Elk heart lake blue HTC with carbon flash roof and nacelle would be my favorite choice!
Carbon flash roof and nacelles for me. Hopefully it'll be about 3 weeks until I pick it up at the museum.
I love how you have all them C8s just sitting there...im a tech in a dealership in PA and we just got our second C8 and the customer was there waiting for it so it was a fast PDI process and then there gone lol dont have any real time to check them out!
Enjoyed the video Rick thanks for sharing
You cannot go wrong either of the three ways. I would actually think a Blade Silver or Silver Flare top & nacelles with an Elkhart Lake Metallic body would be awesome. That two-tone look would be awesome.
Dreaming of a HTC with black rose wrap and black nacelles and top. Saw the pan in previous video but still would like to see how to access engine, check oil, fluids, etc. Thanks, Rick.
you make it hard to pick opitions.you got me thinking about a convertible and maybe a bronze,with carbon flash painted nacelles and roof. great videos and thanks for making them.
They all look AWESOME, but I prefer Carbon Flash Metallic painted Roof & Nacelles.👍
Thanks again Rick
Rick what do you think of Streetspeed717's green C8? Should GM have green as one of the C8s colors?
I like it in fact we need more wild colors with the client base now being a broader age group
