DON’T ORDER THESE OPTIONS on your C8 Corvette !!! 

Actually he's providing quite a few tanks of gasoline for himself as well.

He owns a Ford GT and doesn't like to throw money away like you do.

His right though this type of cars are expensive their no way you are going to save with this type of super car you going to spend thousand of dollar on it even if you are not buying or customizing the car and picking the standard you are going to be dissatisfied with it because you would regret not getting the extra parts and entertainment or performances for a few couple of hundred bucks.

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks

You’re welcome

Meh…. I just ordered a Paragon wing

That is great! I agree that those things can’t be added aftermarket. Glad you love what you got!

Yeah. I think it depends on how much you’d be willing to do after the fact. On my Z06 order, I decided to go against my own advice here and get the colored seat belts. Other people want everything to come from the factory and not touch it at all. To each their own.

You are welcome 😊

*Z51. I would not recommend getting the black tridents with your order for the exact reason mentioned in the video. I’d recommend just getting some aftermarket wheels for that price. Look at a company called Aerolarri. That where I got mine. You could also get the grey or silver trident wheels and get them powdercoated black and it would be cheaper

Thanks. Yep it’s a great value

I have not done it yet, but I might in the future. I’ve read that other people have done it and it’s not that hard. Yes you’d likely have to remove a panel or two, but otherwise, it bolts in. No electronics and such

Thank you. And yes you are right. I know for right now, you can’t order the high wing from GM, whether it is with your order or after. Hopefully won’t last too long.

Good deal on the grey tridents. I actually just replied to another guy’s comment and told him to do exactly that 😁. For the high wing, it’s up to you. I’ve seen some people say that the dealer’s “book” charges the hours equivalent to $150 (1 hour?), but that some dealers charge much more.

@@SupercarRanch I am definitely going to delete the seatbelts and get them myself. I also buy dealer extended warranties for cash in tax free states. They are heavily discounted and no sales tax. Saves a ton. Offer a dealer $200 over cost, take a picture of the odometer and your set.

Good luck on the seat belts 👍 I’ve heard people have done it, but have not tried it myself. Yeah good tip on the warranty. I plan on trading mine in for a z06, otherwise I’d get one too

Although I appreciate your opinion about the 2LT and lift, that has nothing to do with the video. Btw, never had an issue without have the lift. My old corvette and other cars are lower and never truly needed it. Not saying it is not a good value, but I’m just saying I’ve never needed it

Bargain of a lifetime

I’ve old sat in and driven in the GT1 seats. They aren’t the softest seat, but I wouldn’t say they are uncomfortable. I’ve heard the competition seats are must stiffer but hold you in better.

Thanks. Ancira in San Antonio

@@SupercarRanch gotta love Texas! I can’t find a dealer in the northeast to sell at msrp they are all greedy scumbags! Great car but I would never pay over msrp for a corvette.

Thanks

That is true. But I’d still recommend buying in the way I described in the video and not order it that way. You’ll get the same extra set of wheels for less. Or you can easily pickup a second hand set of base silver wheels with tires for less than $1500 all in.

@@SupercarRanch thanks for responding. Video in my favorites appreciate it.

Good question. I don’t think so. If you don’t get the z51 package you can find a carbine flash for sale pretty easy. If you do get the z51 package you’d likely either need to swap it aftermarket or paint or wrap it

Yeah I love it. It shifts in different lights

Thank you

Good question. I’ve never driven a mag ride C8, so I can’t give you that feedback. But my new C8 doesn’t have Z51 and the difference is negligible on normal road driving. The ride is pretty close, maybe a tiny bit softer on the non-z51 and the rear differences gear ratio seems to make the z51 pull slightly harder on the throttle. But that’s about it. If you go to the track or drive hard in the twisties, get the z51. It’s worth it. But if you just cruise on the street, like I found myself doing, it may not be necessary. But i stand by my comments in this video about how it is a great deal and you couldn’t add these parts for anywhere near that price aftermarket

Don’t worry, I weighed that option very thoroughly. Wasn’t a mistake. Was a calculated decision. All that wasn’t worth $7500. Blind spot monitors are the biggest thing missing and yes would be nice to add those aftermarket .

I'm currently "building" one on the website. I'm definitely going 2LT, without the Z51. I'm not tracking it, so no use in paying for the brakes, summer tires, etc...I'm buying the high wing spoiler, HP exhaust and Magnaride a la cart. It just seems like a better use of funds to me, if it's not going to see one mile on a track. Plus, I can put summer only performance tires on it once the all seasons wear out. I'm told to put a deposit in now for a 2024. Not sure if that's true at this point or not.

Rear view camera is standard if you go convertible....

Comes standard on all HTC trims (1lt,2lt,3lt)

I would have opted for a manual transmission too if it were available

Depends on what goodies you want. But I wouldn’t spend a whole lot on option add-ons. Usually over priced and don’t hold any resale value. I would recommend either doing a 1LT with Z51 or a 2LT without Z51 then add other things aftermarket.

Don’t worry about it. 89% like ratio on this video. People like to see their comments, that’s why they make negative comments. Haha and there is a garage opener there now. They will have to ask the original owners of the house why they didn’t install one. 🤣 Thanks for the kind words 🤙

@@SupercarRanch just sent in my deposit and in the process of building one so I'm currently deciding on options.. thx again for the helpful vid!

Well for one, hydro-dipping companies will buy them as cores for $100. Second, I have a Corvette so not sure why you would say I can’t afford one. Third, don’t worry about my finances, you’re welcome to watch my other videos 🤣

Who do you think chev markets too? Fans and every day consumer who wants something stronger than a grocery getter but also don’t see value in a 200k car that has less horsepower. In other words we are not cheap. We just don’t see value in wasting money on over priced items.

@@msgsgt bingo. I could buy whatever car I want, let alone a Corvette. But it’s about what the car and options are worth to me.

Well the only wheels where you get both sets are the black tridents and the bronze 5 spokes. If you upgrade to the black 5 spokes or the silver or grey tridents you don’t get both sets of wheels. Just to clarify. But you may be right about there accessory wheels in Canada, I’m not sure.

Haha yeah you are not wrong. Same with all the previous generations. At least the base models. I feel like they almost go out of their way to make ugly wheels just to keep the aftermarket buzzing

I considered it, but didn’t feel it was worth it to me.

@@SupercarRanch The Black ones do look nice with the white and red lettering....Im not sold on the colored calipers either.

Haha good catch. I wouldn’t say too cheap, but rather too lazy. The original owners of the home were too cheap 🤣 I just haven’t gotten around to getting one put in 😁

Yeah I do too. It makes sense to be able to add it aftermarket, but I have not seen anyone do it. Id like to. And the blind spot alerts too

@@SupercarRanch Sorry to comment on this guys - but it seems like you guys a being a bit of tight wad here. Penny Wise and a Pound/Dollar Foolish. The 2LT is about the best bargain you can get. And yes I have a C8......

I can’t argue with you. You are right. Most people that get a z51 won’t put it to its fullest potential. I do plan on taking it to a track a from time to time. And yes there are a lot of aftermarket parts you can add, and I will be doing so. The point I am trying to make on this video is things you can add after delivery and still be OEM and under warranty.

@@SupercarRanch you do have some cool points in the video! Good info and if you are someone who loves to track than I'm sure you will not regret z51

It’s been more than a decade since I’ve been to a track, but I got the need to do it now! 😁

@@SupercarRanch never been to the track but I have a feeling once my c8 arrives I will ( still on the 2022 waiting list) my dealer is telling me I'll order December and get it feb

Yes. That’s how it works

@@SupercarRanch A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

Good for you buddy,might as well get the 3lt since you balling lol

You are right, it is. I needed one anyway, so wanted to get the Corvette one and it was cheaper to get it this way than after the fact.

Probably a whole lot. I’m surprised no one has built any aftermarket CF rims for the C8. Or at least I haven’t seen any

@@SupercarRanch given the carbon brakes, wheels and aero bits, the z07 package is the way to go. Those would kill you trying to buy and install them.

For sure. I’ll bet the CF wheels are 15-20k by themselves though. This thing will get expensive

I thought it didn't have the carbon wheels but they were on another page. Disregard my previous comment. I tried to edit but RU-vid wouldn't take the edit.

That’s interesting. Didn’t know that about the Middle East cars. Yeah I agree. I didn’t need the exhaust, spoiler, lip and summer tires. But i did want the rear gears, brakes and suspension. But they make a lot of money in the option packages, so that’s why they do it.

I assume you mean the body color accents option? If so, I didn’t get it cause I don’t like the way it looks. The boomerang looks ok in body color, but the front and rear vents look terrible.

Probably right. Even with high temp can do it for less. Just threw out a conservative number

Yeah I’m with ya. They look nice but that’s way too much for lug nuts.

Kid? 🤣

Great job! Yeah the factory carbon fiber options are way overpriced

Not true. I just took delivery for my 2022 for $64k. Ordering and waiting is different than buying off the lot.

I like how everyone has their opinion on what a “must have” is. It’s all about personal preference. Those things were not “must haves” to me. If they are to you, that is great. I won’t call you a fool for it. Not sure what you mean by buying the car for clout. That’s just funny. Anyway, have a nice day 👍

So true, definitely do not recommend 1LT if possible because the blind spots are absolutely horrific, 2LT is a must, 3LT is a rip off unless you really care about the fine details in the interior.

You can buy the blind spot mirrors for like 140 at paragon so 2lt definitely isn't a necessity

I can't agree, your 2lt and 3lt won't have any more performance than my 1lt optioned with z51 and magnetic ride control options 😉!

@@johnshuler1396 don’t worry man. He’s like a 15 year old kid that sells knock off sneakers 🤣

Ha no. 5 figures. Pennies become dollars and dollars become wealth. Keep pinching.

🤣 yeah I know it sucks. Don’t worry, I don’t want to be a serious youtuber. I got more important things to do

@@SupercarRanch Ha…you can afford a C8 and invest your time in making videos, but don’t care about what you sound like!

Who is Mike and how much is he selling for? Tell him to buy a mic not Mike.

@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again check your Dictionary before you post. The ‘mike’ is the correct word for microphone.
