Quite possibly one of the best sports cars money can buy, the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has all the right ingredients: loud noises, stunning looks, and incredible performance to match. The C7 is simply a world class sports car and that can challenge the worlds best from Europe and Japan.

Lol. Excellent 👍🏼
Always been a mustang guy, and this was my first corvette. The c7 is absolutely a blast to drive everyday.
i just dont get why people hate on it, it looks exotic, sounds like a le mans race car, has a 100,000$ sports car interior, and its faster than a 911 S. all while being a huge value.

The worst thing in the C5 was the air dam, instead of a grille for the radiator. Such low clearance. I dinged my air dam cross-strut and the car always ran hot afterwards.

Brilliant vehicle. The jump from C6 to C7 is almost unbelievable.
Your reaction gives me joy. The smiles, laughter, and outbursts. A true car guy knows this feeling. I can tell it’s genuine instead of the fake reactions you see from others. It’s making me want a C7 just from watching lmao. Chevy should pay you!

This is a great video showcasing the 2016 Stingray. In May 2023 I bought a 2016 3LZ Z06, convertible with an automatic. The dealership sold the Z06 with the standard before I could get it. I don't mind. I have owned a 1988 Z51 with the Borg Warner standard and a 1991 ZR-1 with the 6 speed (ZFR?) standard. I loved them both, however, I must admit, at 56 I'm getting a little older. I am very happy with my 8 speed auto in my Z06. It doesn't shift as fast as the duel clutch in my Audi, but it shifts pretty fast for a torque converter auto. Thanks for the video! My Audi S5 has lights on the side mirrors that flash when someone is in you blind spot, and adaptive cruise control. It's a 2013 S5. I really love those two features and wish my Chevy had them.
One of the best reviews on a C7 Corvette Stingray with manual transmission.
Probably the best car ever made in the US. There's still room for improvement in interior styling but I really admire how much american sports cars and supercars have evolved over the last decade. And that engine sound... it feels alive!! Cheers from Europe!! PS. 19:43 love the censorship there lol
Menacing... That Corvette is looking very aggressive and eye catching in that pure white exterior with those crisp black rims. This was a great review, Sofyan. Keep up the amazing work!

I own pretty much the same car in a '14. Set your mirrors correctly and there are no blind spots. In fact no cars have blind spots, set your mirrors, it is one of the best driving upgrades you can do for yourself. It will take some getting used to but you always know where everyone around you is. If you need a quick lane change, no shoulder checks required.

You don't need to push the remote to lock and unlock the door, it has a proximity sensor for the remote. If you turn off the car in Track or Weather mode it defaults to Touring when you start it back up. You can configure the display to whatever you want no matter what mode you're in.
I had a 2011 Grand Sport. Looks like the one in this video puts the power down much better. Mine would spin out even with traction control on when I launched hard. I could hit 70 leaving 2nd gear and the sound it made was addicting. You can get in a lot of trouble with a vette but you will have a good time doing it.
Great review. I love the corvettes and you very accurately articulate why. FUN FUN FUN! And you are right, what a bargain for what you get.
I've never seen you that excited when test driving a car sofian!!
I have the same car in red on red. I have 43,000 miles on it, and love it.
I love the 7 speed, I would love to cruise in 7th down the highway.
I love that hockey stick tachometer. It seems like a knod to the C4 Corvette.
Looking forward to a Grand Sport review, great video btw!
Great review! I am in the market for a Black Vette right now but the white one you are driving is SO sexy. Also, thanks for pointing out the outdated switches inside and laggy touchscreen program.
Awesome review. The smile on his face while rolling through those gears says it all.
Most people look at the horsepower and not what really matters... the torque. Horsepower matters on top end speed and some acceleration but torque is all about acceleration and getting off the line that's why it can beat many cars even though its only 460 HP. And I just wanted to add that on the road torque really matters because you most likely won't be going 120 or higher.
Recently bought a '14 'vert Z51 and totally agree with the driving experience of the manual. Considered a C8 as it was in the budget but am so glad I went with a manual--it eggs you on to drive the piss out of it. Cornering is amazing and maintenance costs on these are pennies vs the Boxster I was also considering. Insurance cost is also VERY cheap (one of the only reasonably priced things in Maine is car insurance. I'm 65, no tickets, and my annual insurance cost is less than $500). I love this car!
Great review. It was clear you were having a great time!
This video is fun to watch cause you're having such a good time. Wish you could take cars to a track.
great review
Beautiful car! I would get this exactly in this color w/ the black accents except I would add a nice front splitter and maybe put a track wing on it, oh and don't forget spare tires! Can't forget about those! Loved the review keep up the good work :)
Rear looks like it's crying?....thanks, now I can't unsee that lol
I've never driven or owned a car like this, but I do know people who have. You are right about the cops. In fact, these cars are monumental magnets for all around trouble - from jealous vandals to cops who have nothing better to do.
bro, everything needs to be red for you.
This is in my garage. Love it. Buy one if you can. We got 50 mpg from PA to TN in 7th gear in eco mode. Really.
Great review, the C7 is amazing value.
Remember manual shifting? That made you a better driver
You give very good and relevant review for the average guy
one of my dream cars
Absolutely love this car, what a bargain.
great job..!!!!! adn awesome car, definetly buy this ride
Still the only true mainstream American challenger to high performance Euro offerings. The Corvette looks like a riot to drive. Someday maybe for me... Someday... =D
Love this gen of corvettes
that white with black trim is simply breathtaking
I enjoy all of the upgrades I have made on my C7, latest addition is Victor racings smart active wing, it made such a big difference in drag control and speed.
Great review, thank you.
I love that at 19:46 he blocked off his speedometer so he does not incriminate himself or condone speeding lol
Great job on the video.
the music sounds badass and goes well with the car
There's nothing "controversial" about a manual transmission..... I have one and it's awesome to drive!!!
Damn this car seems fun as hell!!
Absolutely love mine, she's a beast!
great review, thanks!
love you guys!
Just bought this (convertible auto version)....same price as my $50K 2020 Silverado but waaaayyyyyy more fun. Seems like good value to me. Still haven't fully tested it and just stored it for the winter. Can't wait for Spring.
This car is an masterpiece~!
Absolutely beautiful.
The c6 camaro would probably be the more practical and responsible choice, but there's something very special about this corvette.
I also prefer red interior on many sports cars . This Vette is smoking hot and a blast to drive . almost as fun as a M4 coupe cnvt IMO

I m a Mustang and Camaro fan but never get to use the back seats. With the current pricing especially a gt350, I would rather own a Vette! It's unique, lighter, agile, complete sports car. This and a Viper is the best American sports/muscle cars you can get!
Nice review. I know you did a 2016 MDX, but I'd like to see a 2017 MDX as well :]
19:42 why would you blur your speedo? i mean obviously you were holding at 60 and just downshifting for the noise, right? right?

So many of these car reviews nitpick about the dumbest shit. "OMG it has an ugly switch hidden behind the steering wheel! It's terrible!" Like STFU. You're paying around $60,000 for a 460hp sports car that looks amazing and is faster around a track than many $150,000+ European cars

Nice review!! Saving up for a 2014 non-Z 51, 2LT, 7 speed manual. I’ll be cherry picking a low mileage hopefully one owner in excellent condition well-maintained model. Multiple owners/mods will not be looked at or considered. As close to original OEM as possible. I prefer the 18 inch/19 inch tire set up that came on the base model.

@Sofyan I could be wrong, but I don't think I've EVER seen you swoon over a vehicle like this Vette! Like a kid at the candy store! Love it! And yes, I agree on the Z51 pkg. It is MUST! You get so much equipment at that level for the price. What are the chances that you could test a Challenger Hellcat w/ Tremec 6060?
Very good review.
Whoah I just watched your 2014 vette review.....twilight zone
Very good review...covers alot

You can see the Resemblance between this and the Camaro, Especially the Tail lights and of course the Engine. But corvette is going in a good direction hope they keep it up.
This is gorgeous!!!!!

Maybe just not on camera, but we've seen plenty of our friends who own performance cars do burnouts, especially if they already plan to replace the worn tires, or if they are riding on their track wheels. Tires on these things are just expensive, which is why most won't do it all the time.
