2024 Chevrolet Corvette | MotorWeek Quick Spin

If you want all-out Corvette performance, anyone would tell you to go for the Z06— and it’s the ‘Vette we’d buy if cash was of no concern. But most of us do have other bills to pay. Fortunately, you don’t need Z06 tuning for serious #Corvette credibility, and #Chevrolet was kind enough to send us this 2024 Stingray Coupe 3LT to remind us. #ChevroletCorvette

Waited eleven months for my 23' C8' 1LT. Payed sticker in the low 60's. Fast enough for Couldn't be happier, the car's a beast.

0- 60 in 2.9 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.3 seconds and this is the base model. Wow! I bet it still gets close to 30 MPGs. The performance per dollar you get with the Stingray is unparalleled and the engineering to make all that happen is not lost on me. Again, wow!

Made it past the 500 mile break in period last week in my 3LT z51 Coupe. The torque is phenomenal. The acceleration plants you back in your seat. The handling at cough, cough, the speed limit, is superb. Never mind 0-60 (and there are plenty of videos on YT of C8s doing 2.8 seconds, not 2.9), 40mph to um, ah, the speed limit of course, is, to me, everybit as impressive. GM hit a homerun.

They did so well making the mid engine C8. Absolutely a stunner. I whip my neck around every time I see one.

I just bought one... a HTC Z51 2LT....it's all I'll ever need

[XCVi_MAC]

The c6 and c7 will forever be my favorite.

For most of us in the real world, even the base Corvette is a pipe dream financially. If you can’t pay cash then you can’t afford it!

Ahhh….. big difference when John isn’t the one making this video…. It just doesn’t bring the same excitement. John has that unique touch and one-of-a-kind voice.

I love my C8 3LT, not many cars for under $100k that perform as well as the Corvette. I would love to experience it with a twin turbo setup. That would be a wicked ride.

[joshup]

Damn 11 second quarter mile ill be lucky to get 14sec quarter in my 1990 camaro 305 with twin turbos

[barsaf]

This car is crazy good. Too bad I only see old guys driving them slowly.

Didn't realize my 2022 Corvette stingray 1lt Z51 came with brembo brakes till I saw this video !!! ;)

[codyC]

This thing is actually quicker than the Z06 from 0 to 100 because it can actually put the power down

[franciscocruz]

Wow those numbers are impressive, and the sticker price makes it a bargain. I'm planning on purchasing a GT4 when I retire in a few years (currently 34) but I wouldn't mind getting a C8 and installing some modifications to make it even faster.

[joegotz]

The lower HP car are more fun to drive. The HP is manageable.

[roberthoyt]

Corvette's C8 really does look like a Lambo and McLaren squished together. Is it really becoming a standalone performance brand thus a expanding GM's car brand portfolio to five?

[The_R-n-I_Guy]

I absolutely hate modern vehicles. But I would definitely drive a C8. I don't care which one. Although I prefer the targa. The convertible hides the engine too much

[warrenfrank]

Try buying anything Italian at that price; even used. Ferrari, Lamborghini or Maserati all cost you anywhere from 4x to 10x the money and you won't get 4x to 10x the performance. Further, you take take your Corvette to your local Chevrolet dealer for service. Try finding a dealer for an Italian nameplate in your state let alone you city or town. I have owned Corvettes most of my adult life. If you want performance without the headaches, by a Chevy.

2024 Chevrolet Corvette is America's Ferrari GT.

[BobSimmons-yi]

The C8 is is nothing but great. However, in order to buy one you need to be an old single guy because in Calif they are very expensive and the wife won’t approved if your married
