    2020 Chevrolet Corvette full review. In this video we get behind the wheel of the 500 horsepower V8. We drive it and find out, is the new Corvette a good buy? With a top speed of nearly 200 MPH this car performs in Ferrari and McLaren territory for a starting price of just $60,000.

    GM Thinking outside of the box and succeeding! A mid engine corvette, this is a breath of fresh air. It opens up many new design options.
    The corvette always felt like a car for retirees who dreamed all their lives about have a 50s, 60s,70s corvette. As a result the design, tech, execution, and target audience always felt old and slightly in the lounge lizard category. This new platform is a completely new take on a aged icon.
    This is a whole new ball game. I wish GM great success with this and they need to be rewarded for pushing outside of their comfort zone.

      I know you think that but it will be the same, going to be the same guys buying them and once you see the 30th C8 in one hour driving down the road you will be over them. I've seen them since last summer and even with only seeing maybe 6 of them they are not that exciting to me anymore. If anything I am kind of going back to the C7 and thinking I like the looks of that much better than the C8. That being said the C4 is still my favorite Corvette generation.

      Corvette was the original super car. There was a time they had a an aluminum big block option.
      Then corporatocracy trashed the car for higher profits along with the rest of the crap GM made. Corporate Suicide.
      Now we always knew GM had the technology to produce a good car.
      We also learned there was no way they were going to let you buy something from them anything like worth having.
      The company has a bad stigma for poor quality they will never live down.

They clearly presented how the final product delivered on the appropriately high standards set by the leaders of this segment. They also touched on how they leveraged GM's strengths to deliver a world class product at an unbeatable value proposition with few if any compromises. The C8 makes a mid-engine supercar available to many people for whom, this level of performance and practicality was previously nowhere near their price point.

Maybe though this Vette will be different, don’t think I’d buy the first few years, my 2017 2.7 Ecoboost F150 has been flawless, but on CZcams people seemed to have a lot of problems with them initially, now it’s the F150’s #1 engine, I have a good friend came to the house, pretty good looking Silverado, had 293k on it, I told him not to get it, way to many miles and that was probably 8 years ago, he drives it everyday, I know GM can build a heck of a engine, figure these things will get hammered daily, just way to much fun not to.

    For years, people have debated whether or not the Corvette is a Supercar. The C8 has removed any doubt. And FINALLY, they are doing a RHD version for the UK market. For me, this is the best thing about the new Corvette. That we can now experience the Corvette without the compromises of being on the wrong side of the car is worth the purchase price alone. Thanks guys at Chevy, you have no idea how much this means to Corvette fans in the UK. It's like having every Xmas and birthday present all at once. It's awesome.

    This new 2020 C8 is sold out, you cannot get it.
    You need to order the 2021 C8 model and put a deposit with a good and reputable dealer who really has Corvette allocations, otherwise, you will wait forever.
    My advice is to wait and not pay the high asking prices as I will predict that many C8 orders will be cancelled and prices will drop and nice discounts will become available.
    This will happen because of the coronavirus pandemic.
    The financial market is down and many people have lost a lot of money and investments.
    Maybe you will disagree with me but only time will tell if my hunch is right or wrong.

    • @JohnUSA7
      @JohnUSA7 Před 4 lety

      @Gus Johnson I disagree, I don't think that it is dead at all.
      One huge advantage the Corvette C8 has over the Italian super cars is the price. It is still beyond many car lovers' affordability but it is still a lot more affordable than the over priced Italian and many other sport and super cars.
      I bet deep in your heart you would love to have one, right?
      I wish I could but as I said it is above my reach.

      You could literally not make the previous vettes better on a track without changing where the motor was. It's just physics. When you drive front engine vs mid on a road course, it's night and day how the car behaves. You can brake later and get on the gas earlier in most cases.

      Just wishful thinking by GM. This car has less performance numbers than the outgoing c7 z06, with less horsepower and a quarter mile time of 11.3 121 mph. The c7 z06 couldn't keep up with the McLaren or Ferrari so why do people think this car can.

    I used to think my 2015 Z06 with full Z07 package was the best value, now I have a C8 on order (in the 2020 allocation). Great presentation, would like to see dash layout for track monitoring. Dislike any non-circular steering wheel, but I guess short and or fat guys make it necessary. The driver in this car caused the engineer to get big eyes as he drove with 1 or 0 hands and looking everywhere but forward. Should have shown paddle shifting used properly up and down shifts. Overall great intro and I did not know the soft close feature. Lots of high-tech marvels here. Regardless of 7 speed lovers, those trans ratios were awful, this trans will make you learn how to left-foot brake. Thanks for a great presentation. I hope a Z06 appears in time for me to change my Z51 order to the next iteration of Chevy Genius.
