Last year, Chevy put the performance car world on notice with the introduction of its first mid-engine Corvette. At a starting price of $60,000, the C8 Stingray Coupe could accelerate, handle, and draw attention like supercars costing at least three times its price. Eager to keep the momentum going, Chevrolet brings to market its first hard top convertible Corvette. Promising the same astonishing performance as the Coupe, with the convenience and style of a folding hard top roof, the C8 Stingray Convertible may be even more appealing than the fixed roof. Best of all, the C8 Convertible starts under $69,000.

Miles may not have inherited the car guy gene from his father (heck, his mom is the one with a Porsche 911 obsession), but his dad did have a soft spot for the Chevy Corvette. Miles came to know and appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of the Corvette through his father's C5 and C6 convertibles. Through this lens, he considers how far the C8 has come in terms of performance and - more importantly - comfort. Does its bargain price tag come with cut corners? Are you better off saving your pennies to buy a Jaguar F-Type P450 Convertible, Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, or Audi R8 Spyder? Find out in this in-depth review of the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 3LT.

Disappointed in the wind buffeting when the top is down. Otherwise a great car.

Why do people spend so much for options that seem useless. Just more electronic connections that will fail down the road.

C7 Grand Sport is easily a daily. With continental DWS extreme contact tires on it, it rides smooth as glass and very comfortable. Could drive it across country no problem.

Who the Bloody Blazes do you think you are to DICTATE what sort decoration(s) a person put on their car?! There was nothing wrong with the Carbon Flash/Yellow decals. Keep your personal opinions to yourself and stick to factual technical details. Two Thumbs Down!

I think nacelle doesn't mean what you think it means. The two shapes you keep referring to for the roofline are known as a flying buttress support in automotive design. These have been used since the 1968 Corvette coupe. Several other car companies have used such from even further back, but Corvette started theirs in the 1968 model. I noticed that your convertible testing was done with the windows up and you complained of wind buffeting. You should have done it with windows down, as what is the point of a convertible to have windows up? And you didn't show the engine access. Overall, a well done review.

It felt like you were pushing the 3LT, and mentioned some of the features as if they’re only on the 3LT when they’re included on the 2LT. Other than that good review.

Rear looks great. There’s nothing wrong with the Corvette sharing resemblance of a Camaro. They’re both Chevrolets. Rear doesn’t look cheap at all, they included sequential turn signals in the rear something you don’t even get in the front. Taillights look nothing like the Camaro’s.

nice video.. I was a fan of the convertible at first but I definitely have changed.. not only more moving components to have issues but the lines of the the coupe are freaking amazing. Little kids peaking in the rear glass and smiling from ear to ear in parking lots is priceless! The transparent roof.. also is a plus over the HTC… my opinion just as this video was yours! Also if you are going to do power adds the HTC limits your options a lot.

Get ready for the adjusted market value at the dealership that is on top of the MSRP, I live in Las Vegas Nevada the current number is now $38,000 on top of MSRP enjoy your new car because GM thinks this isn’t happening

Love them seats!! Now is that interior or seats only available on the 3LT or can you get those seats colors combo on the 1LT or 2LT?
If not is it possible to get them after market then just sell my stock seats or even put the stock in my C5 ?
BTW I'm old school I like chrome rims .

I’ve seen SO many reviews and I can appreciate yours! I love the camera angles you used, your honest feedback (which I agree with) on the styling, but even the wind while the top is down. The front stripes are a no go, but overall this is my affordable dream car. Thank you for the great review! You just got a new sub and I’ll easily give you a 👍.

I’ve never been big on convertibles I’ve owned a few but my C8 HTC Z51 car is amazing. I personally think it looks better than the coup with the top up or down. Yes stickers always look tacky. My red stripe on my black C8 is done with a rap which looks like paint and it was only $200.
