Can u sell me a c7
C7 is one of the most beautiful cars
C7 wins in my eyes
1. It has a manual
2. It looks better
3. It has a real trunk
4. It does NOT look like a gamer designed it
Nuhhhh
yuck a manual. i drove it omce and never again.
I need both. I got a C7 Z06 and I’m waiting for the C8 Z06. You can’t ever have too many Corvettes.
Your driving impressions are very valid. I traded my c7 for the c8 and i feel the same way. At times i regret trading for sure
C7 MANual. you wuss...
That's why I'm keeping both when I get the c8 eventually. The c7 is my wife every other car is the side chick lol
I traded my c7 for my c8. Love the c8 but miss the manual c7. Just bought a 2017 c7 - it has soul!
This one is easy. I got 2019 Grand Sport Manual. No regrets whatsoever. Smile guaranteed every time you drive it.
not gonna lie, this makes me lean towards the c7 more. a c8 is beautiful and defeintly breaks more necks, but the same can be achieved with a c7 if you have the right color and right exterior parts. the challenge will be to fine a very low miles one when I can afford one. hopefully in a year form now lol
This makes my decision so much easier. Gonna stick with the c7. Ur the man!
I would never trade my 7 speed C7. It has just aged so well. So fun to drive and still looks so damn good.
That back of the C8 looks weird. Front and side look amazing though.
They do it on purpose to make people by e-ray and Z06.
I think it's amazing to see the different opinions for these 2 cars. I feel like everyone loves one a lot more than the other. See I like exotic cars and I think the c8 is perfect. I think the C7 does a great job at being a muscle car but it just doesn't call to me the same way a 65 Corvette does.
Ive been one of the guys waiting for this one and it did not disappoint. Appreciate the points and your reasoning behind everything. You're very reasonable and personable, I hope you can keep growing your channel. good luck
Saw the sneak preview on ur insta, this is gonna be amazing!
Easy answer is a C6. Round beautiful lines, 430hp, light weight, affordable.
Nailed it on this one man!!! All ur reasons make so much sense! thank u
Thank you for the information and comparison. Fine job.
The summary points were great, thanks man!
C7 are the last of the real corvettes. I'll never probably be able to get either sssoooo my opinion doesn't mean much but that's still my opinion.
Everyone’s opinion matters bro , you can get it just hustle hard !
They should have continued the C7 design option as well as the C8 but with limited C7 design with the updated interior.
U make a lot of great points bro, never thought of a lot of those things. makes sense
OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the intro big homie!
Basic takeaway. C7 for the classic muscle car guy. C8 for if you want an exotic car. Ive had the honor to drive both and I confirm. It's fun to see the nose of the C7 lift up to the sky when you hit the pedal. But the c8 feels like a prestigious car like a McLaren or Ferrari, but it also feels like it could tear up the track or the mountains of Tennessee.
Good points, looking to get a c7GS.....new sub😎👍🏾🔥💯
Appreciate it! Welcome to the fam!
Dec. 2022. You’re review of both cars is pretty accurate even 2 years later. For me, I wanted a more raw and connected driving experience. I wanted a manual trans. I wanted more storage space (and ever so slightly cabin space for me). Additionally, I don’t like the cabin controls of the C8 all in row. Awkward design IMO. Last, look at the price. I was able to get a 2015 C7 Z06 Z07 3LZ M7 with 9700 original miles for $3k less than a brand new 2022 C8 Stingray. Then price out the new C8 Z06. $50k above what I paid ASSUMING you can even get one in 4-6 months. Thanks, but no thanks. The C7 is now in my garage and I couldn’t be happier!!
I enjoyed this video very much. I currently own a C6 and will be in the market for another Corvette in a few years--a lightly used one as so many Corvette owners don't seem to use them much! Anyway, although I really like the C7 it is an evolutionary change from my car whereas the C8 is a huge advance. I use my car primarily for long trips so the only reservation I have is about luggage space but all cars are a compromise to some extent.
The C8 is designed to service the engine from the bottom. With any major repairs it is set up to drop the engine out with the rear suspension...😉👍
Excellent video, the c8 feels heavier and softer. The c7 feels funner and more dangerous in the turns. Definitely more raw
Those cold starts doeeeeeee
Wow I never thought C7 could be better.
Of course you want to feel more road connected. Thanks for objectivity. Nice job.
Appreciate it!!!
Holy shit ! Five minutes and I stuck a fork in my eye!
I’m new. Great video
Thanks James! Welcome to the family!
C7 is a GT, C8 is a supercar.
it's really up to taste and needs, i do not think it is actually a replacment for the C7, (like the C7 was for the C6) it is a totally different car.
2 totally different driving style experience.
So c8 is a super car because the engine is in the rear, plus it's a heavier car? Is Cayman a super car also, because its mid engine also, that includes a lotus and Alpha Romeo 4c, is a Ferrari a gt car and not a super car with a v12 with 731hp and weights the same.
May 2023 I bought a C7 Z06, 3LZ, convertible, in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. As great as the C8 and C8 Z06 are, I still prefer the looks of the C7. Tons of torque, the traction control really can't help much. Haha! Thanks for the video!
I like the sound of the C7 better than the C8. Both are great cars. C8 is more of a head turner than C7. Manual trans only in the C7 model. Higher performance in C8. I give the node to the C7 but that's because I'm a little bias. Can't go wrong with either one.
I have also put a flat screen tv in my C7 trunk...On road trips I can take plenty of stuff easily with no problem...that's an advantage that's important to me...
I'll keep my C-7 Corvette Stingray Z51 with a manual transmission.
It definitely looks better then The C-8.
C7 ZR1 is my dream car
MAGNIFIQUE ! ! ! THANK YOU ! (of France )
What year is your c7?
I own a C7 Z06 and there is no way I trade it for a C8. C7 is a fun car and it looks better.
To me it all boils down to personal style preference between the 2 generations. So for myself that means the C7 but in Z06 trim. I'll admit though, the Z06 and E-Ray C8's are both stunning and the true exotic experience in that generation.
Never buy a first year of a new generation as they have bugs to work out and recalls which has been the case for the 2020 C8.
How is the idle quality of the C7’s you’ve had? I just bought a 2017 C7. It has 32,000 miles on it. Car runs well but at a stoplight the idle seems really rough to the point where the vibes are strong in the seat. Some are saying these cars have a “ big “ cam stock.
Normal from my understanding. My c7 rocks at idle as well
C7 much rougher at idle
should keep ur fuel tank above 50%, driving around below 50% causes premature fuel pump failure
To me, only thing the C8 has going for it is its 0-60 time and the shorter front end making it easier to park. Also, I still don't understand the appeal of manuals, especially in the modern era. They're slower and have a lower resale value. They also give you a chore. If you're driving fast and weaving in and out of traffic or on a track, why do you even want to worry about having to shift constantly? It's like someone saying they'd rather handwash their clothes instead of using a washing machine because it gives them more control. Guess what...your control is not better than a modern machines control.
Lol washing clothes is not a good analogy AT ALL… nobody washes clothes for fun. A manual transmission makes you more connected to the car, it’s a more satisfying feeling when you’re shifting smoothly and quickly and rev matching whenever you downshift. It’s an art that requires skill and mastering, it’s like bowling without the bumpers, flying a plane without autopilot. Yes it’s the slower transmission but it’s also the more reliable one
I feel like C8s would get got hot in the rear trunk area. It that true? I have c7 z51 and love but all your points are valid. I really want to drive a c8 for the experience but was just curious about that
Yes the rear C8 gets very warm! I’ve cream in the fronk!
Good information but they're different cars it's like asking a person who likes apples and likes plums which do you want. I have had 12 new Corvettes currently driving a 16 ZO6 convertible I have the C8 on order hoping it comes soon and as soon as the C8 ZO6 is available I'll get one of those
You have 12?? Can I have one 🥺
@@faisalali2001 has had 12😏
to me the c7 is the winner , the only way I would like the c8 if its AWD but as far as I know its not
It is now the eray is awd
What is your c7 exhaust setup ?
sounds like all-factory w/NPP to me
Very good comparsion thanks, I am thinking about selling my C7 Z06 for a C8 Z51.
Did you do it?
@@mikedesil23 yup.
How do you like it?…Did u have ceramic brakes?…how’s the road trips with no snacks in back?…how’s the “wall”?… we have a road-tripping chihuahua…I have a carbon 65 z and saw a beautiful amplify orange HTC w/ body colored vents at the museum on Thursday and fell in love
If u could take the back of the c7 and the front of the c8 u would have something beautiful 😍
LISTENING TO A CORVETTE COLD START NEVER GETS OLD! I THINK YOU SHOULD START SHOWING AT LEAST 1 OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS CARS THAT FOLLOW YOU AND CALL IT ‘REDLINR CAR OF THE WEEK’! AND GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO WHO YOU PICK! MAYBE THEIR NAME AND CAR. I’D ❤️ MY C6 TO BE THE FIRST🙏PLEASE. JUST A THOUGHT AND SUGGESTION TO HELP YOUR CHANNEL GROW BROTHER! ROBERT OTTA LAS VEGAS 🚗 BE SAFE
Dope cars, but have you noticed that you and #EmeliaHartford have the same nose, and both of your C8's have the same nose. as both of you.... I'm just joking but it is kinda true! LOL! You got a new sub that likes to have some fun!! 10k subs coming up!!!
Hahaha thanks! I have noticed 😂😂😂. Welcome to the family!
I own a C7 Corvette Stingray, and yes, I would love to own a C8 Z51 or Z06 one day. That being said, the C8 is just a different animal altogether over the C7. It just depends on what you can afford. Love both the C7 and C8.
I have a c7 stingray and grand sport corvettes love both .The engine in front is
Best
Form most reviews the c7 is the better driver's car, more connected and controllable. Might need another generation of the mid engine platform to refine it further
oh please no. I'm hoping the C9 will basically pick up where the C7 left off
Next gen will be EV
Ya gotta buddy
Keep making vids
Are you guys Canadian? Must be - you both seem so nice
License says Virgina
I might be in the minority, but I like the C7 looks better. For me it's a no brainer, C7 with manual transmission for the win.
But the c8 was not low on release it was minimum 30k over msrp
Should have used the c7 wide body...looks lot more aggressive.
Nah c8 widebody is even better
Is it just me, or does the C8 sound like it idles at a higher rpm 🤔
LLOOOLL just a couple of casual bently's driving by. U know he lives in a rich area when...
For real tho dope vid👍
Love the c8, it’s fucking stunning, but the c7 has always been my dream car
Keeping the c7 though
I would rather buy the c7 because
1. the c8 is way more expensive
2. I hate that square shape steering wheel on the c8
3. the c8 seems to be very small and closed in when u get inside
4. the c8 interior and exterior looks nice but a bit too "perfect" that it seems kinda overwhelming lol
5. the c7 looks much more spacious inside
6. the c7 is a bit cheaper
7. the c7 interior and exterior both look beautiful and not too "perfect" or overwhelming
C7 interior is kind of outdated, not even as cool as Camaro's. But I think that's the only losing point when comparing with a C8. The C8 Z06's engine is cool, but the mark up is kind of crazy.
@@zijunx1595 yoooo 11 months ago I forgot I even made this comment lmfao
@@zijunx1595 bruh I should've been saving up since that comment 😂😂
Just my opinion but i prefer the c7 to me the Corvette has always had its own distinctive look compared to other sport cars also Porsche is a example too. But the c8 looks like it ripped off lamborgihni it looks to simular to a saleen s7 the new nsx lambo & ferrari it just lost its distinctive vette sport apperance that always seperated it from others.
A vette with a toretto license plate ...
I pick my c7 zo6 I can't do the c8 looks like a big ass fish on the driver side where gas tank is. I can't stand that
The c8 reminds me of a ferrari 430
I got a c7r w an engine upgrade 950.hp look it up on CZcams c7r gumball rally 3000 America fuck yea !
The C7 and C8 are Corvettes.
How can you compete with your own family?
Not a fan of the C8 wheels and not a fan of the fear end of the C8 as looks like a Camaro. C8 does not like a Corvette but I do like the interior of the C8 better.
i mean the problem for me is the c8 looks like a more budger ferrari or something... Looks too European.. feel like the look of the corvette has been lost .
If I had a C8, I would be looking to upgrade to the C7. Engine in the front, actually has a whole trunk, 50/50 weight distribution, manual transmission. There's no contest. And it looks so much better than the C8.
C8 all day. C7 is too small for me. I had prefect leg room in the C8
One take, everyone knows the rules.
American 🇺🇸 Ferraris!!
I’m buying a plaid instead:/
C7 looks more like a corvette
The Arctic? Where the heck are you at?
Virgina I think lol
I'll still take the Nissan GTR over either one of these, but between these two, C7 Grand Sport please.
buy amer..n get a reel bac-bone!!
@@scottbarker9058 You want performance but you'll take the slower car and the GTR will be more reliable!! Get a real brain and get better value! Nissans have Manufacturing plants out here in America too dumbass.
C7 Manual. Anyone can drive an Automatic
Can u sell me a c7
I'd be pissed if I was a C7 owner 😂
No way, pissed I can't get a real Corvette new anymore maybe.
LOL yeah pissed that everyone thinks the C8 is the better car
@@captainflappinjacks597 Whats your definition of a car that's better?
@@S3P7 has front engine, isn't ugly, has 50/50 weight distribution, a manual transmission, actually has a whole trunk. Did I mention isn't ugly?
@@captainflappinjacks597 Do you not like Lambos, Ferraris, and Bugattis too?
