When I saw that title I was expecting the Z06. As amazing as the regular C8 is, the Z06 truly spanks the competition that cost multiple times more than it

Maybe cost was taken into consideration. For the money, the C8 is dominant. Just like the Ford Mustang GT is the better buy versus the GT 500.

Misha at the Nurburgring recently tested a convertible C8 and essentially said it was the best out of the box sports car he ever driven on the Nurburging. High praise, especially since before driving the car, he thought it was overhyped, but stated he was wrong, he was impressed.

I can absolutely identify with the comments Rory makes in his introduction. When I was younger a lot of my friends were into Jags and British made cars but I only ever dreamed of American motors. I managed, over a period of time, to own three Mustangs, a Pontiac Firebird and finally realised my dream of owning a Corvette. For me it was the affordability (I did my own maintenance) and the camaraderie of like-minded enthusiasts. The names of American cars were just so much more exciting: Mustang, Corvette, Charger, challenger and Roadrunner as oppose to Cortina, Zephyr and such like. For me there was no comparison. Alas all that was in the year BC (Before Children) but I still have great memories of sliding into that Corvette seat, turning the key and listening to that V8 rumble into life. When I win the lottery (haha) my first purchase will be a Z06 until then I return to dreaming!

Sting aside, the cinematography in your videos is EPIC, Rory - hats off to you and your team for such incredible production quality. 😎

I knew it Rory never miss be it at a range or when reviewing a car he hits the bulls eye. The best in the game. Props to the Editor on this one too LOve from western Africa Senegal

Hey Rory, What a great review with wonderful camera work also. I find this car so much more interesting than all the other super cars with a million horsepower and a price in the hundreds of thousands. Respect to Corvette for building a truly attainable sports/super car.

By far the best In N Out Burger review. 10 out of 10. Hoping for a follow-up.

Love this! I worked for a Tech company base here in the US. Whenever our counterparts located in Basingstoke, England, came to the US for a visit: (1) Muscle rental car, (2) Gun range visit, and (3) IN AND OUT BURGERS!!!! Though they could not comprehend how Americans could eat in their cars. Great video!

Rory just adds such a special feel to these videos...

I can't tell you how excited I've been for Rory to finally get around to reviewing a C8!! He nailed it perfectly! A car that you can dream of attaining in your life!!

Excellent writing AutoTrader team and Mr.Reid !

Corvettes are really growing on me. The C8 is a homerun for sure. It is even more impressive for keeping naturally aspirated. If you can make an engine make big power without forced induction, it is far more impressive to me than just slapping turbos on it. That makes it way cheaper too which is also a huge win.

The King of car show is back and I was actually wondering when to see a full review on my dream American car guess my wish has been fulfilled Thank you guys and keep up the good work

I have said this before and I will say it again, Rory is a fabulous vehicle presenter. One of the tops in the industry for sure. I certainly miss him on UK Top Gear. He and Chris Harris had very good chemistry between them. Get him as the main host of Top Gear USA.

Another great review Rory. It's great to see people who really love what they do and they know what they are talking about. Keep them coming.

Wow, 1600Kg, under 500hp yet does the benchmark sprint in 2.8sec and all for a song!! Impressive!! Plus, seeing it on the move- with this outfits trademark top notch cinematography- has really made the looks grow on me. I’m not usually into the aggressive angular look. But this machine makes it work, especially within context of Corvettes trademark look!! Good job all round!! 🙌🏾✊🏾💪🏾

Great video Rory and team! Nice to see you enjoying some of our local roads in the Bay Area. Mt. Hamilton is one of my favorite driving roads!

A genuine take, such a fun watch. Great work dude!

Great review 👏 The Z51 C8 is the best of all worlds. (Its actually a dual clutch 8 speed) If you put it in Sport or Launch mode it will lite up even more than what is shown here. Lastly there is another mode called "Competition" mode that is not advertised. Tricky to get to but it turns the C8 INTO A COMPLETE MONSTER!!! 30mpg when cruising around 😎

Great Test and Report as always. You understand how to transfer emotions to your audience 😊👍🏻Thank you again!

One of the best KZread car reviewers. Keep up the great work Rory!👏🏻

Great video. I remember the last gen was sold in the UK by a reseller, but after taxes and fees etc it worked out to around 100K GBP. Hopefully this one stays around the 50k mark once it's on these shores.

Great review, great video. Thanks for filming on Mt. Hamilton Road. I always thought it deserved to featured. I used to drive it and several others in the hills outside the area, and that one was always a blast.

I have been looking for American gift for far too long until now. Thank you, Rory, for this review. You make my day.

By far the best car reviewer of all time. And also may the solar system bless America!

I really enjoy your knowledgeable & enthusiastic reviews 👍🏾

You can lower a corvette with stock adjustment bolts, so no need to make the tires bigger to reduce the gap.

Awesome production, and equally awesome presenting from Rory.

Z06 takes that title to another level

Awesome that you finally got to drive the C8 and now we all expect you to go and get your hands on a C8 Z06!

America has twisty canyon roads, great straight-line cars Europe has straight large roads, great cornering cars

Very good analogy about the C8.... enjoyed watching. I love my C8!

You make great reviews, thanks!

Welcome to America, bro. It's fun here.

Rory am glad you finally get to review this car, but please come back and review the Z06 with the Z07 package when the time comes and tell us what you think of it!!!

You might want to review the Z06 Z07 package cuz the base is a good platform but I think this would be a good competitor to a 458 Speciale or Italia.Have a blessed day Rory

my guy. Well done..... again! . thank you

Man, I just love the car! Amazing video.

Very well done. I agree 100% Rory but now I want an In N Out, Double Double with fries and a lemonade.

bout time !! dig it .cant wait to see you in the zo6

Rory, great to have you here in SJ! I love that road. Hope you got to drive Highway 9 as it's even better. Also, nice shooting! I pull bottom right also, I believe we are trying to compensate for the recoil. I'm trying to decide if I can afford the Z06 but an extra 30k for non Z07 package. I dont track much anymore but I want the Carbon fiber rims which transforms the car, which will add another 30k due to Z07 pkg, CF package & rims cost

The C8 is amazing. But being American, there are many ways to configure the car. It can look (almost!) elegant, or really brash. The Z51 package is a must, and if Rory drove it on the track, he'd be surprised at how that slightly disconnected front end and minor understeer basically disappear. As it sits, it is unbeatable. And if you want (much) more, now we have the Z06/Z07. They are relatively hard to get, but well worth the wait. As ICE cars are beginning to ride off into the sunset (at least new ones), masterpieces like this are both harder to let go of and so damned welcome! Thanks for a great on-road review, Rory, and on those incredible west-coast mountain twisties it absolutely belongs on.

Cracking review as usual. It’s a very fine car, but I’ve still prefer the last of the front engined cars.

The fact that Rory said that C8 has 7-Speed PDK and I cant seem to find a comment about this mistake (so it looks like noone noticed) speaks volumes about Porsche and their marvelous double-clutch.

Welcome to Da-Bay Bro! Rory came to buss capz and see how the vette corner snapz, nice 🤣🤣🤣

Great review Rory. Although, I must say. As long as the Vette has that 6.2L hulking V8, whether it’s in front of or behind the driver, ensures the Vette’s identity remains as American as baseball and Apple pie!

Nice review!
