[VIDEO] Throttle House Reviews the 2024 Corvette E-Ray


I found a new 2024 Corvette E-Ray review on YouTube yesterday and was surprised to see it was from Throttle House with Thomas and James. Surprisingly, they put this up on their “EXTRA” channel and not the main Throttle House channel as “there are no production values” in any video that ends up on the EXTRA channel. We’re not sure why they made up that weird rule, but looking back, we see they weren’t part of the auto-journo round up that Chevy took to Colorado for the official ride and drive, so this is their first introduction to the new performance hybrid sports car.

Amongst Corvette enthusiasts, there might not be any more revered modern examples of their favorite nameplate than the pair of Z-branded machines from the C6 generation. The 2006-13 Z06 and 2009-13 ZR1 combined what is perhaps the ‘Vette’s last timeless design, with truckloads of firsts – first 500 HP, first 600 HP, first $100,000, and first 200 MPH Corvette, to name a few – and a few notable and desirable lasts such as its use of hydraulic steering and the classic round taillights. Most importantly, along with the oft-forgotten one-year special 427 Convertible, they were the last Corvettes where a manual transmission was the sole option. That is, unless the buyer took matters into his (or her) own hands, as a past caretaker of today’s featured Corvette did.
