Default VIDEO: 1200 mi road trip w/ my eRay...wow

SUPER PUMPED ABOUT THIS C8 ERAY!!! This video is my longest video but I felt it was needed; we go through EVERYTHING so that you can see my dealership experience, learn the in's and outs of your eRay, learn the new features(the good and the bads), a 1200 mile road trip, fuel mileage, performance thoughts, etc etc. For those interested in the eRay, this video will hopefully help you understand some things, and my future videos over the next few weeks will help you fall in LOVE with this car. Bare with me as I shoot content and release it, I'm a busy dude lol. Next videos: Dyno, REAL 0-60 test, Dragstrip day, and more. But first, learn the car in this video!

Can't wait for some of your performance tests.
I am sure you have a Dragy, your videos are very informative.

Your C8 Z06 videos were very helpful to me on using launch control.

AWD launches are amazing as you will soon find out, no worrying about traction.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I agree with you on the wheels, if they were all Black they would look much better, I never liked those polished or machined edges.

How does the car sound volume wise?
I remember being very disappointed with the lack of volume in my previous 2023 C8 Z51 HTC with the NPP exhaust.

The C8 Z06 is plenty loud, I even use Tour mode on long highway drives if my wife and dog are in the car.
With my C8 Z51 I always had it in Track mode and still could barely hear it even with the top down.

it's tough to say because everyone has their own version of what loud is... if you listen to my car ride during the video, you'll be able to get a feel of what it sounds like

When I am out of work I will listen again, if it is louder than the regular C8 Z51 that would be a good thing.

Slick video, Jesse.

One small, but important, correction (since you said it twice), and I don't want people to get the wrong idea.
Please see below.



You can exceed 4500 RPM before the redline change. It's up to the driver to break in the car properly and be aware of their RPMs.

Nicely done - and informative! Looks like you had nice weather on your first drive - would be interesting to how it goes in the wet.
