[VIDEO] Speed Phenom Now Claims He is Getting a Corvette E-Ray, Wants Your Help to Pay For It


It was a week ago that YouTuber Speed Phenom put out a video saying he was selling his 2023 Corvette Z06 after just eight months of ownership because he was very excited to get the 2025 Corvette ZR1. Except, that wasn’t the plan at all according to his latest video, and it underscores our points about YouTubers and their quest to have the latest and greatest vehicle no matter the cost.

Speed pulled the switcheroo on his viewers and said the REAL reason he is selling the Z06 is get the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray. We find that announcement comes with a certain amount of chutzpah considering he published a video in which he bashed the E-Ray and gave all the reasons why the Z06 was superior, but then removed it without explanation within hours of posting it.

Personally, I like Speed Phenom and appreciate what he has provided with the Z06, but I’m over the whole flipping thing just for the sake of having something new and especially when his plans include a new McLaren 750S and the Mustang Dark Horse.

Oh, and did we mention that he now wants your help to contribute so he can buy the car? Austin is launching paid memberships on his channel ranging for either $4.99 per month or $24.99 month so viewers can get special access to his Speediness. A fool and his money…

  1. I have been an appreciative follower of SP for a long time. The track testing and analysis of the various C8 models has been spot on. I now question his authenticity. I can’t believe his income stream for sponsors is lacking. He spends money like a drunken sailor.
    I just lost a little respect.

  2. I’m sick of this little puke.

    He is a sensational media darling car flipper and not a Corvette enthusiast.

    He also has an irritating voice.

  3. I unsubbed him a few years ago because I found him to be uber annoying with the way he laugh/studders/whateverthehellthatis way he speaks. And now he wants us to pay to watch…as if he’s the only youtuber that brings content.

    Awhile back he complained about car flippers doing it for profit, and now he’s selling his C8Z for WAY over the sticker price. A car that has been thoroughly beat on…and he’s asking premium price for it.

    SP, Stradman, and Emelia are the most annoying automotive YT’er out there…I have a browser plug in that blocks their channels from my feed.

  4. He’s a clown and his crying about his CF wheels was 2 much but , how much for some videos of his sister….lol….and KF, what is the browser plugin you referred to?

  5. IMHO…SP..YOUR AN IDIOT!! 1st you COMPLAIN about your picked option of CF rims..then you BASH MY ORDERED E-RAY…then YOUR FLIPPIN THAT MIGHTY BEAT ON Z-06??
    Now, you actually expect true Vette fans…TO PAY FOR YOUR, NEW TOY!??? IMHO..YOUR A SPOILED BRAT…OR UNGRATEFUL GEN Zer!! GO BACK TO MOMMY’S BASEMENT!!

  6. Shame on all the idiots for making him wealthy. Got more money than brains and definitely not a Corvette enthusiast

  7. I didn’t mind SP…and really I don’t mind Emelia…I understand the negatives thrown in their direction. But I have lost a little respect for SP. All told (and perhaps it is just jealousy) the method in which these Youtubers get these vehicles just irks me. I do understand those with huge subscriber numbers getting some preferential treatment from GM…because it is essentially free advertising for them…But SP…I don’t see what he has done to actually earn the cars he has had the privilege to drive. Emelia has at least started at the bottom and built her brand, whether you like it or not or feel it is deserved or not.

    SP comes across as a kid who is a billionaires son and has been able to get toy after toy. And now he is looking for another “toy”. And he wants us to pay for it….I am sorry, I am still saving to buy my first vette. I am 50+ yrs old…been a fan of vettes for more than 40 of them. Some of my fondest memories is of being in and working on my Uncle’s 67′. I know exactly what I am looking for and I am working dang hard to earn and save for that car. And these guys come across as a kid who is tired of the GI Joe he got for Christmas and is already crying for the newest action figure in January.

    I am not even sure WHY he is getting an E-Ray. He loves to track, and that is not the FOCUS of the E-Ray. He and many other you tubers like him can leave a bad taste in the mouth for those that are truly passionate about a certain car or cars in general. They can come across a braggart and not as an enthusiast.

    I appreciate those who truly appreciate what they are driving. Where what they are driving is more than a “toy”. Many of the journalists, they don’t get to take those cars home, in general. And while I am jealous of the experiences they have. Their respect and enthusiasm come through. I enjoy guys like Legit Street Cars whose passion is evident. I enjoy others who understand that not everyone has the chance to experience what they are doing. The ones who are not “showing” their new toy with you, but the ones who are doing the next best thing to handing their keys over to you and are “sharing”.

  8. I have been saving money for 2 years now to buy a corvette. Have 30 grand saved so far, feel free to send me any extra money you have so I can buy one instead of this fool.

  9. I agree 100% with all of you. This kid is a whining little brat that really should go out and get a real job like the rest of us. He also owns a Mclaren. Sell that car to get your next car.

  10. This dude has lost me for good. Saying he is selling the Z06 for an E-Ray is moronic. Confirms he is a fraud.

  11. I distinctly remember leaving a “not-so-nice” comment about him (but nicer than most of the above) on a particular site last year that was promptly removed. I thought it was a technical issue, so I reposted it… Again it was removed.
    Weird how things can change over a year…
