I need both. I got a C7 Z06 and I’m waiting for the C8 Z06. You can’t ever have too many Corvettes.

This one is easy. I got 2019 Grand Sport Manual. No regrets whatsoever. Smile guaranteed every time you drive it.

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

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.

[alexandercrush]

That back of the C8 looks weird. Front and side look amazing though.

[lazymarine]

Easy answer is a C6. Round beautiful lines, 430hp, light weight, affordable.

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

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.

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!!

Of course you want to feel more road connected. Thanks for objectivity. Nice job.

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!

Holy shit ! Five minutes and I stuck a fork in my eye!

[captainflappinjacks]

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.

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.

[diagodiaz]

U make a lot of great points bro, never thought of a lot of those things. makes sense

[boywonderrr]

Im debating these cars right now. C7 GS/Z06 vs C8 Z51 add mods heads/cam or 2650 SC vs C8 Z06.
The cargo issue is my major point of contention and the tire cost of the C8 Z06/Eray (AWD means 4 tires at once like n my Stage 2 Golf R). I love how the C8 drives, you forgot about that part mostly. Yes C8 is more planted but your car doesnt have the Z51 package and would really help with that on the C8, especially the PTM package n Ediff. My 16 ATSV had it and with Magride is a beast.
My wife made me get the ATSV as the C7 GS I was looking at wouldnt fit the kids at the time. BS move as they had own cars and moved out a yr later. Whatever, The V is dope and tuned now so..
The C7 has the huge storage area I can put my dogs in for trips and the C8s they would have to ride on her lap. I dont think that will work. I would have to keep the V and use the C8 as daily w/V as long trip car as her GTI's seats hit my back wrong. I told her to get another R but
We already have issue with trunk space now so it wont be any different as my V had a huge speaker box in it and her GTI can only fit so much. Still, its a hard decision as I want something special and the C7 Z is everywhere. Even if I tune the shit outta of and put 1000hp down its been done before and wont be able to put it down anyways.
C8 is classy and can be a ripper if heads/cam or SC by Lingenfelters 2650 or drop their badazz 427 stroker motor in it for about that same as the supercharger kit. I can get a used C8 for $75k-80k drop the SC or 427 in or Spend another $30-40k for the EXOTIC KILLER C8 Z06. That I would have to sell the V and some assets, which is why I have the assets anyway. Just not ready to sell em yet, want a bit more ROI.
God its a very hard decision, I never wouldve thought it would be. Can I have both?

[johnnyonthespot]

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

[andreburns]

The summary points were great, thanks man!

[ramindavani]

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.
