The Most Confusing Supercar Ever. // Corvette E-Ray Review

The 2024 Corvette E-Ray has All-Wheel-Drive and 650HP from a 6.2L V8 and an electric motor. But does it still have the soul of a Vette? And better yet, does it outshine the C8 Z06?

No gas guzzler tax, carbon ceramic brake included, AWD for cold weather climate, faster quarter mile than Z06, instant torque from push rod engine and electric motor, understated good look. I think there are plenty of reasons to go with E ray over Z06.

Bruh.... I understand putting the Z06 in the "S Tier".... but HOW can you place the Stingray in the Same Tier as the E-Ray????
Just because they Share an Engine?

[disasterpiecegarage]

The Coupes and convertibles have the EXACT same cargo space in the rear. You don't lose any room back there.

E-Ray took the Place that the C7 Grand Sport used to take up.... The Engine of the Stingray, but the Body of the Z06!

The E-Ray doesn’t really outshine or usurp the Z06, because it’s just so different from the latter. The Z06 potentially being the last production N/A FPC V8 we ever see makes it wholly special, and it’s a proper pure bred race car, per what Misha has spoken about it. The E-Ray is your GT super car of the Corvette pantheon, the car for someone who just wants to chill, but will have more than enough power to smash most other cars on the road. It’s a better NSX, essentially.

What GM have done so far is offer considerably different flavors of Corvette for their customers, similar to Porsche in a way. Want a great all around sports car that you can daily? The Stingray is perfect for that. Want a raw, emotional, and unbelievably fast track war machine? Get the Z06. Want more of a luxury grand tourer with gobs of power everywhere? The E-Ray fits the bill. And, I’m sure the ZR1 will be your GT2/GT2 RS of Corvettes, like it’s always been; a brutal powerhouse.

It’s an approach that’s working incredibly well for GM so far. If only they could build enough of them!

Hey Miles, I don’t know quite how I’ve been missing you (because I check out just about every c8 corvette channel on YouTube) but I have to say your communication skills and content are the best I’ve ever run across! Please keep your content coming!!!( … a new subscriber)

Excellent review! Just something to keep in mind about the convertible vs coupe (whether it’s the standard Stingray, Z06, or E-Ray), when you have the roof off in the coupe and store it in the trunk you lose a lot of your trunk space to the roof panel. When the convertible is open and roof is down, you don’t lose that trunk space.

I've driven all 3 C8s. This is the most old man cruiser for sure. The regular C8 rides damn near as well as a Cadillac, the Z06 is Porsche-like, stiff as it needs to be but still somehow nice. The E-Ray is inbetween, the acceleration is ridiculous, ride is good, and the AWD is a genuinely different feel in corners. For the price its a steep ask imo.

Glad you got to review the E-Ray! You can actually order a clear window engine bay cover from GM now. Love the channel - keep up the great work!

Well done. After your vid, I am ordering 2025 E-Ray over Z06. I am a daily driver C8 guy. Currently I own a 2021 C8 Z51 now and want more. Both cars (E-Ray & Z06) have "more" but only one is not meant for the track. And that's me. Ive driven on COTA with the current car and - well - that was fun but not me. Rode in a Z06 recently and LOVED it. Somewhat of a remembering of my GT350 ownership except killing it with excel-aeration over the GT350. Not sure about the excel spell check there. Anyhow, thank you for the review. Actually felt you gave a level review and there was no bias. That's why I subscribed.

I would drive this, if it ever came to the Netherlands. We have crazy Co2-taxes, so this would make it probably a lot cheaper.

[techguy]

I think I actually like this modern version Batmobile.... it's the best looking of the C8s and with the hard top convertible... Corvette may have created an unexpected hero!

[keithjackson]

I love the question on the header. The only thing ruining that e ray is that paint job!

[KRGruner]

E-Ray comes STANDARD with carbon ceramic brakes. So that might come in as a consideration when comparing pricing to the Z06 (where those are a very costly option).

[kpv]

I'll take the eRay any day of the week, and so will most people. The reason is the fun of driving the car is you're getting off the line, and it does it better than a z06. The other side is it rides better than the Z06, which GM even says is made more for a track type of car than a daily driver. ERay brakes are also better.

The Eray! Great review of this “decoupled axle” of a vehicle. Two axles speaking to each other by software ONLY. Phenomenal tech! “Podiumed” P2 in FAT International Ice Race in Aspen, Feb 2024.

Thanks for posting.
I’m new to the channel. Love it! I’ll be back!

[WEHRWULF]

Too early for me to trust reliability, will be curious to see how they perform/last long-term

[Scorpio]

The purpose of the E-Ray is a Corvette that can be your year-round daily driver.

[cheeze]

I genuinely have a question. Has sitting in a rimac nivera ruined or worsened ur experience in sitting in other quick cars

More longform content FTW! You're my favourite reviewer rn
