2024 Corvette Test Drive

[jvett77]

I'm thinking about buying a new 2024 Corvette to replace my '95 (234,000 miles) and was able to find a Chevy dealer with a used 2023 2LT vette. $77K, 8,000 miles. The drive was a surprise. I figured the rear engine noise might be annoying but it was totally quiet! The car was perfect.

Ive checked those cars out,but Im not too enthused about those cars as a lot of other people......

Where the engine once was,is now just a small plastic tub for a trunk,and the engine is packed in the trunk,something goes wrong,Id have to think they will be pulling the whole engine to get to it.......gonna be hugely expensive imho.

Body style is eh,I like the frontend and backend look,but side view,not so much......dont get me wrong,they still are a nice car.....

I have a 2015 Corvette StingRay,and most people stop and tell me they are the best looking Vette and they ruined it by making these new ones.....actually wanted to move up to a ZO6,but insurance rises higher than what I want to pay,so before you buy,you may wanna check it out with your insurance broker.......



Thats my take,but your the one driving it,makes you happy great,just think its great theres another Vette enthusiadt here......

You'll never have to worry about something going wrong after driving mine for over 230K miles. My other color choices are Cacti Green with camel interior, Hypersonic or Sea Wolf Gray, similar to yours with black or red interior.

Freaking awesome.

You need to drive it to FL to break it in. I had mine over 120+ on 95.

The 2024:
Engine: 6.2L V8 DI
Transmission: 8-speed dual clutch
Horsepower @ RPM 490 @ 6450;
Torque @ RPM, 465 @ 5150
EPA Est. MPG: 16 City / 25 HWY

Its got 45 more hp than what I got.....should do 200+.

My max is 142:



I was a little netvous trying to snap that pic and drive.....and this was just before a 50 mph s-curve I went thru doing 81........
Took that curve like I was doing 50.....
Im pretty sure those days are over....its just pushing my lock for reckless driving or killing someone.....

It beat my previous:




That was in my 2011 Grand Sport......
Yes Im on my 3rd,first one was a 2007 coupe.

If you like it go for it.

I'm still partial to the late'70's early '80's C3's. Yes the plastic bumper cars.
Just the best looking in my opinion. They just have a Raquel Welch or Linda Carter look to them.

The right curves in the right places.
