This was great, Nick. Hearing your giggle after mashing the gas pedal made my day. I love my 911 but was thankful to get a true Porsche guy's take on the Vette.

[FurkanCemTurfanda]

This car is spectacular for the price, and its value proposition can be seen in just how many of them are on the road. People are actually buying these. Absolutely wonderful.

I'M A PROUD OWNER OF A 2024 C8 CORVETTE STINGRAY HTC.
IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER.

Just discovered your channel. I have owned my share of Porsches, and love everything about them. I have never before owned a Corvette, but I now own a C8 w/z51 and mag ride and do the same laugh as you, Nick, when I get on the gas. Your comments about value are spot on. I consider my C8 to be a gift that for some reason GM decided we deserved before things change radically. I encourage all Porsche owners to go buy this car and add to your collection.

its a real eye opener when 80 grand will get you a 2015 911 with 40, 000 miles on it and no warranty vs a brand new c8 with z51 that will smoke a 911

Really love that you are always honest and unbiased. Without worrying whether to upset the manufacturer or the car enthusiasts of each brand! Keep it up mate!!

[PolarBearHavest]

Did not expect I would be watching Nick driving a Corvette during my Monday morning shower but oh well!
I enjoyed non-biased review and Nick looked as happy as driving a 911 GT3 😂

[Fluffyninja]

Such kind words from a Porsche Driver! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[vandecar]

Loving the semi-regular uploads again. Giving me a semi. Keep em coming Nick and let us know when you spec out your 992.2 Turbo Manual

What? Unbiased views? No fanboying? You earned a sub

[YogiD]

The mid-engine Corvette is the best value sports car money can buy. Looks way better than Porsches too. With a few tunes you can make it look like a halo car. The only cars that come close to it are Lambos and Ferraris. Chevy has knocked it out of the planet with this one.

I am a long time Porsche owner, and looking forward to a 992 as soon as I can get one, but I love my C8 HTC. Great video, credit to your unbiased review! BTW, the most surprising aspect of the C8 is the highway fuel mileage, I have done several 500Km trips at a steady 130kph and return 7.4L/100KM. ( cylinder deactivation of course)

[absolut]

Fair play to Chevrolet for keeping the physical buttons, especially at that price point. I’ve never been a fan of seeing cost-cutting moves in luxury/performance cars as it seems like penny-pinching corporate behaviour

[reefkeepers]

I love my C8.
Absolutely zero compromise for me in styling and performance. As a base model car, it is above par. The models yet to come will astounding no doubt

[brianiswrong]

I think of the porsche and corvette as dogs
The porsche is the dog that has had obedience lessons from a puppy and gets a trim every month and has official paperwork to back up it breed.
The vette is your shop dog
Not the best behaved or looking dog in the world, but gives you all its got (for better or worse) when required and is happy to live on left overs and a kennal in the yard.

I have a C8 optioned almost exactly like the one you reviewed. I love it. My previous two cars were 2014 Boxster S and 2018 M3. I would say that the dual clutch in the Boxster was slightly better than the C8, while the M3 was slightly worse. I enjoy the C8 much more than the Boxster and M3.

Giving the people what they want. Love the vids.

[George-urow]

Why I bought a certified 991.1 S in 2016 instead of a C7 Vette:

1. Rear Engine & Weight Bias
2. Dual Clutch
3. Front trunk ("Frunk")
4. Much better visibility
5. Better launch & 0-60 (on most models in my budget)
6. Better traction, cornering & damping.

Seems like the C8 has addressed literally all of these issues. Were I in "the game" again to spend 100k on a sports car, not sure if I would choose a certified 911 S or a new 'Vette!

Great vid as always! Licence plate C88A4RE - C8 ate a Ferrari?

1:53 Nick's menacing laugh tickles me every time ;). Love the color combo of Gray & Natural Leather looks amazing!
