Quit thinking about it and BUY THIS CAR
I have owned two other Corvettes, a C4 and C7 and ordered a C8 after attending Corvette Fun Fest. The 2022 C8 2LT HTC in Hypersonic Gray is hands down the most fun car we have ever owned. I have had ZERO issues with the car and now have 7500 event-free miles. My only suggestion is that the factory and dealers need to be on the same page with service intervals and what is included with the first visit. I never received the same answer twice as far as first oil change. Some say 500 miles, others 1500 and owners manual says 7500. Other than that, I love this car more than any car we have ever purchased. My only regret is not upgrading the wheels but that can be changed.
A bargain for the money. Fantastic car.
Took delivery Easter weekend of '22. Drove it home almost 400 miles. Totally problem free. I've put almost 7,000 miles on it this summer. Drove it every day. Groceries, post office, whatever needed to be done. A couple road trips, one was about 1,000 miles over 3 days. What a joy to drive. Very comfortable. 2LT with no frills. In warm storage for the winter. Target date of April 1 to bring it back out.
Super Car Performance On A Budget
I have driven the 458 Spider many times and can comfortably say the Chevy is the American version at 1/3 the cost. I own a 2023 w z51 package, no magnetic shocks and my wife likes this car better than any other we have had for a daily driver as a passenger. I love that you can put it track mode and it is a beast or leave it in tour mode and get 22 mpg for trips. The controls are a little funky and the view with the roof down is somewhat obstructed but that’s being super picky. Best bang for the buck or super car performance on a budget.
Overly Hyped negative review must B Porsche Owner
The guy that wrote the negative rating has to be a Porsche or Ferrari owner because they are living in yesterday's world. I was one of the first in CA to get my 2020 C8. It was a head-turner everywhere I went. The design, handling, and comfort are amazing. Gas mileage on open road trips was 34 MPG. Must have the LT2 because I can't imagine driving this car without the review mirror camera. I use the past tense here because I sold it to CarMax last November for $18K above what I paid for it (sticker MRSP) and it was 1 1/2 years old with 17,000 miles on it. I turned around and ordered a new C8, LT2, and will be taking delivery of my 2023 in August, just 3 weeks from now.
Wildly Over-hyped
Spare parts impossible to get from Chevrolet. Car is wildly over-hyped and not worth the added dealer mar-up they charge. Dealer service is poor to non-existent.
Chevrolet Mid Engine
It's a Chevrolet that's all it is. Lots of inexpensive materials used on the interior as usual I'm sure the maintenance is going to be a fortune due to the placement of the engine. I knew this in advance but I wanted something that was faster than my Mustang coyote.
Dream
Corvette has been my dream since I was 12 years old. Having waited that long to come true, paid off handsomely for the brilliant, revolutionary, and game changing model I ended up getting. It is a must have if you are into muscle cars but don’t want to pay half a million dollars to get one! 🙂
Perfection!
Beautiful lines, great raw power and extremely stable on corners. The transmission is very smooth, and if you enjoy shifting, the pedals are easy to use.
The C8 corvette is wickedly awesome.
Just got this wild thing a few months ago. All I can say is if your going to pass another car on a one lane road going each way that you might want to get in the other lane for passing, it will go from 5th gear to 2nd gear in the blink of an eye. Super quick. It will throw you back like nothing else I’ve been in. Just be careful.
