I have the HTC version of that exact car. I’ve had it now for 2 years and 10 000 miles, I’m surprised at your comments about rough ride and noisy. I find it surprising comfortable and quiet on the highway. My pregnant wife chose it for a 5 hour drive over our suv or BMW for comfort, and we live in “horrible roads Canada”. BTW since the C8 was launched there were haters out there predicting terrible quality issues to follow. I know there have been some identified issues, but my car has been 100% flawless. It is my first American car, I was always a Porsche guy, but I love this thing.

GM took a sports car and added luxury to it. My 2LT is very quiet and if I need shopping room I use my truck. For me this car rides like a magic carpet. I paid for the enhanced exhaust and it sounds like a beast., especially in Z mode.

Agreed if you want to have the extra "creature comforts" otherwise if you just want an extremely fun and fast vehicle for as cheap as you can get, 1LT is just fine for that.

My 2022 is the 2LT. It’s quiet cruising, comfortable, and a joy to drive. The exhaust note is great as well. It does have seated seats and steering wheel. I don’t think you could or should expect more from a very base model automobile. I would certainly recommend the 2LT over the 1LT. However I don’t see real value in the 3LT. My last thought. I would not spend the money on the Z51 package unless you plan on seriously tracking the car. If you are going to track the car then the Z51 package is a MUST have option. Cheers!

I also have a 2LT and agree that this is the way to go.

Corvette beats the Hellcat in all categories except Horsepower and Theft Rate!! Lol

Not sure what roads you are driving on but here in Wisconsin, our roads aren't very good and I think my '21 C8 is the most comfortable riding car I've ever been in. My wife and I LOVE taking it on long road trips. It's comfortable and so usable considering the performance it has and how great it looks!

Picked up my c8 in Dallas over the weekend. Everywhere I go, someone will tell me, "Nice car!" On Sunday night on a mountain-type road between Moab and Salt Lake coming around a corner at highway speed I encountered two deer standing in the middle of the road. The Z51 brakes handled it no problem. Still came within less than 12 inches of hitting one of them, but it was a very short stopping distance and I purposefully did not lock up the brakes or skid.

Wow close call! Glad you avoided that! Enjoy the sweet ride!

Just bought a 2023 Corvette C8 convertible 1LT. Agree with you about the blind spots. Every C8 should have blind spot monitoring. Not just 2 and 3 LT. Fortunately mines a convertible so it has roof camera rear view mirror. That helps a lot. Otherwise it is best corvette ever made.

Same, I ordered a 1LT HTC as well. I’ve been at 3000 status for 2 months now😅

I have a 2023 1LT with the Z51 package and I love it.

Two words to the roughness....magnetic ride. Smooth as any car.

Get a 2LT HTC with performance exhaust and whining. I am 75 yo and love my C8.

I own a 2023 C8 and a 2019 Scat Pack Widebody pushing 1200 HP with twin Hellion turbos. Sell your Hellcat the C8 is a completely unique driving experience light years beyond and other!!

For the map, you can add it on the 1LT trim as well which comes with the PDR.

you cant compare a base model corvette to a hellcat for comfort. i guarantee you don't have magneride which would help make it a smoother ride

Awesome car love it!

Love my 23' C8.... NOTHING to hate about....

They did a good job with this car. Found myself next to @thestradman New Yellow C8 Z06 last night on the way to Thanksgiving Point.... James took one glance over at my charger scatpack, stomped the gas and went bye bye 😂

I have a 3LT C8, and with the exception of the screen size which I agree is a little small, literally every other thing you hate is eliminated: interior sound, blind spot monitoring, heated seats/steering wheel, ride quality, and exhaust note (optional sport exhaust from the factory). So... ?

Great video bro keep up the great work, hope you had a awesome thanksgiving too with your family, that corvette is nice I like the color but it wouldn’t be for me too little ain’t no room for shopping 🛍️ lmao but it is a eye catcher tho.

While the cool things about the car are obvious, the little screen and lack of blind spot monitoring are unbelievable especially for a car that’s hard to look out of. Neither is an issue in non-performance cars that cost half as much. You never get more than what you pay for.

Yeah on the one hand you get performance that rivals supercars but on the other hand you don't have some of the basic amenities of cars at the same price point. You cant have your cake and eat it too. Fortunately you can get those features on the 2LT for around 75k which is still really good bang for your buck in terms of performance and amenities

C8 beats a hellcat 0-60 and in the quarter mile.....you said hellcat wld smoke it???

The passenger doesn’t need to control or see anything. The passenger just needs to sit back and relax. The navigation is overrated especially if you have Apple car play or android auto.

8in 2023 isn’t enough. 😂 👀

8 inches is a lot man... even 1 5/8 is a decent bit

You cant find this car 1LT for less than 89k

Think you need to stick to your hellcat as you keep comparing it to that.

Stupidest comment ever. Imagine being hit head on in any vehicle. Are you crushed by the engine? Rarely but if you want one and can’t have one just say that

You bought the cheapest C8 which is a 1LT. Come on bro you can’t buy a C8 then complain about how much the oil change cost. You know you was suppose to by a 2LT with heated and cool seats, blind spot monitoring. Along with the rear view camera, I’ve spent 12.5 on upgrades which came up to 72.5 out the door. Only thing wrong with the C8 imo on long road trip you need to get out and stretch. Feel like you’re laying on the floor.

@Avon2Alpha I bet you my 1LT 23 HTC cost more than your lil 2LT coupe. Calm down tough guy, it all comes down to preference, some of us have the money but prefer to spend it wisely on the things that matters most to us like a HTC and added performance instead of heated and cooled seats 🤭.

Your negatives are noted,,,but do NOT agee w yuo,,,,for a 100K car,,,i think we are fine...quit complaining !!!!!
