After its transformative redesign in 2020, the C8 2022 Corvette surpassed a number of high-end sports car rivals in our luxury sport coupe rankings. And thanks to a few additional tech improvements, it's likely cemented its place at the top of the heap for a while to come. The Corvette is bonkers fast, it handles beautifully, and it still manages traffic and daily errands. The styling may be controversial, but its price and performance certainly are not.

2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2dr Convertible w/3LT (6.2L 8cyl 8AM)
I have a 2021 C8 3LT convertible. Performance, handling, and ride quality is amazing. Styling is head-turning and overall value is terrific. It just about does everything a Ferrari or Lambo can do for less than half the price. However, it's let down by GM's infamous quality control issues. On my car in particular, the leather on the upper part of the dash is warping. From what I hear, GM … doesn't have a real fix for this except to replace the whole dash. But even that won't guarantee it won't happen again. I also hear this happens on many 3LT models with the leather dash. even on brand new '23 models! This is simply unacceptable. Such a shame that a world-class caliber sports car like the C8 is let down by GM's QC issues.

I have always wanted to get a Vette, but never did. I actually ordered a C7, but backed out because dealer could not give me what I wanted for my trade in. That was before the mid-engine C8 came out. Glad I didn’t get the C7. I was on a list for approximately 18 months. I finally got my car recently and it was worth the wait. The car is fantastic. Chevy really delivered what they … promised with this version. The car is worth every penny they charge for it. I was concerned about two areas specifically. Getting in and out and driving comfort. I’m not going to say it is a breeze entering and exiting the car, but it’s not that bad. Driving it makes up for any “inconvenience.” As far as driving comfort, it is better than expected. My wife, who wasn’t convinced I should even buy it, admitted she was pleasantly surprised. That’s saying something. The exterior styling is phenomenal. I ordered the Red Mist Tincoat Metallic and I can honestly say people are getting whiplash as I drive by. Most of my friends can only say OMG. The interior dispels any thoughts of it not being high quality. GM really got it right. They also did a great job with the technology. It is pretty user friendly. Plus you can customize how the car handles with the multiple choices available. Bottom line for me is it is the best car I’ve ever had. It was worth the wait.

I am a life long vette owner and while I have seen it continuously improve over the years, I never expected it could be this good. Speechless!
