Thanks for showing the trunk on the two models. I was curious.

Great Vlog Jason. Nice to present the comparison and functionality to those not familiar with the operation on the HTC. I like watching people seeing it in operation for the first time; listening to their comments as it moves like a choreographer had put some dance together. I’ve never been a Rag-Top Fan. I guess that goes back to the first car I drove at age 16. It was a 1960 red Pontiac Bonnieville Convertible. It was nice right up to the time the back window was glazed/frosted over and it was hard to see through it. Then someone slashed the top. My dad was a teacher and a H.S. Baseball Coach. I’m thinking someone got a bad grade or didn’t get enough playing time. The issues of the frosted window and damage to the top by someone trying to break into the car or jealously slashing it turned me against soft tops. Now, I’m’ lucky to have a 2009 C6 Coupe I bought as a retirement present to myself and as of March, I have a 2022 C8 HTC. When the HTC became a reality for Corvette, it opened up the door. I’ve told my story a number of times on KZread about getting the C8, that for once, I was the guy that was at the right place at the right time. I got the only Corvette allocation for 2021 from a dealership in Central PA and bought the car at MSRP. I got my C6 from the other Chevrolet dealership in my area and was lucky to get it. That C6 arrived at the dealership in December 2008 and remained in their showroom until I bought it on 5/5/2009. Older people may remember back in 2008 and 2009, the stock market wasn’t doing well and car dealerships were wondering if they were going to remain in business. I was at the right place at the right time for that C6, a beautiful Crystal Red Tintcoat Z51 with a transparent Targa Top. Both dealerships only receive 1-4 Corvette allocations per year. There aren’t many C8s around because the population of my county is around 128,000 people. Due to unfavorable weather, too many stones/anti-skid materials on the roads and my health, I had my first drive in the C8 on Sunday 4/24/2022. Here in Central PA it was 85 degrees and I took full advantage of putting that top down to start that 500 mile break in. This was my first experience in a C8 behind the wheel and folks, anyone that drives one will say that line from the movie Independence Day: “I’ve got to get me one of these”!!! Yeah, I’d like to see Tom Magnum Selleck in a “Ferrari-Looking C8” with a comparison view of the 308 GTB. That was a great TV show running from 1980 to 1988. Always thought it was funny, him fishtailing the Ferrari out of the grass and onto the highway 😂 Love the Eye Candy trips to Corvette World!!! Thanks Jason

That’d be awesome. Have a great day!

Awesome review,just subscribed‼️

So. I have tried to get more folks to try this even contacted GM on this. Get a glass or tile suction cup to remove the targa top. I had one for my '13 coupe. It made removing and installing so much easier and safer. I bought mine at a specialty tile shop, I even thought about putting the vette logo on it. I would place the targa top puller in the center, lock both tabs and it was an easy lift and easy to control. A micro fiber cloth would easily take care of any ring mark.

Most of the people I see displaying a sense of awe are people who actually know the person they see in the C8, C7, or any corvette for that matter. It's almost like they don't want a stranger to know how awesome his/her car is. That's not to say the car isn't awesome-looking because it's in the same supercar category as a Ferrari if you ask me. INCREDIBLY, I've seen people going berserk over the sight of a Plymouth Prowler (1997-2001) on the streets than a new C8 Corvette! I think it's mostly because Prowlers are rare, eye-catching American Exotics that you hardly ever see while in comparison, corvettes are a fairly common sight on the road.

After watching this video I still can’t decide which one is better. The coupe cost less and can upgrade to 2LT for the price of a basic HTC 1LT and the coupe you still can remove the roof top also don’t have to worry about any mechanical failure for the roof top. Also like the lady said you can see the engine and dress it up. Now the HTC cost more money and eventually is going to cost money for mechanical roof top repairs and you can’t see the engine. People comment here the HTC looks more exotic, to me they both look exotic and especially more with the coupe that you’re able to see the engine and that’s what draws attention not the HTC nacelles.
