c8 corvette teaser trailer new information on c8 corvette release date offically unveiled GM released c8 corvette pricing z06 corvette
C8 Corvette news information 2020 corvette leaked render flat plane crank engine 5.5L
this one of or maybe the BEST videos on the C8 and the Z06 I have seen to date. Why it's full of real world common sense rather than a vlogger that has a wish list or has read another blog and is parroting it back as his own info.
GREATJOB!! proper comparisons etc !!!!
Good performance matching the 992, makes sense the car has similar weight distribution. I don’t think anyone would say the 992 performance sucks, so I say they met their goal. It’s revolutionary in the layout, but the base model track performance is evolutionary. The 0-60 performance is a big leap forward. It’s just the hype has been overwhelming and it made people lose perspective somehow thinking the car would have 992 Turbo or GT3 performance with the base model. It is faster than the 997.2 Turbo, or a Cayman which is in the same price range. It’s practical and has more than enough real world performance.
CORVETTE FOREVER!
First of all thank you for your videos/updates. You’re just as passionate about Vettes as the rest of us. The Ring or straight line speeds will not influence me on my purchase of the C8. To be honest it never has for any automobile I’ve purchased. Let’s not forget that the Ring was specifically designed for Mercedes. Along came Porsche and it started using it for its own convenience and with no one else in mind. When they broke the track record in the 962 it was done on a closed course. When it recently broke the 962 record last year it was also done on a closed course. There is no way to be accurate on a pieced course time. There are insurmountable variables to any lap time especially at the Ring. What counts is fact, the 24hrs of Daytona showed the fact of the C8R. Although it came in 4th they kicked butt big time, a BRAND NEW car from a clean sheet of paper FINISHED 24 hours WOW WOW!! Both cars earned points towards the championship, now that’s something to take to the bank. Please make mine Rapid Blue👍
Was the driver compensating for the manufacturing alignment that causes oversteer or was it setup like the car they let Motor Trend Drive in Virginia? Neutral Streeting
That issue has been addressed. GM made two C8's available with street and track alignments and Randy Pobst drove a C8 with the new track alignment at VIR which addresses the understeer issue. It's a very aggressive alignment. Think 3 degs of negative camber on the front. Not bad if one owns a tire store. ;)
Was that the stock alignment or the track setup with 33 degrees of camber? I'd put my money on stock
nice job with this one. Wondering if you have thought about waiting for the Z06? and skipping the base model. I am ( have one of the first orders in ).
van phillips to be honest yes. I am very interested in the Z06. But I know for daily driving the C8 will be great. So I am going to enjoy it then see about trading up to a Z06. Just hate losing the huge depreciation hit
thanks for the response. I doubt GM will offer any sort of decent lease rate, if they did you could swap a lease.. But also your channel here would go kaput without owning one now. I have well over a year to go on a M5 comp lease.
Yep that’s my plan let them work out the bugs and I will buy a used C8 Z06 in a couple years that seems to work out best for me. I bought a C7 Z06 with 10K mikes a few years ago for 70K I’m hoping I can get a used C8 Z06 around there.
Me too
Amazing car for a base model. I’m more interested on how it would impact the automotive industry myself and the expectations & price for mid engine vehicles.
Once you have the C8, and have driven out four several months, can you make a video about its capabilities as a daily driver. Thank you, can't wait to see the car in April.
Henry Montenegro I think it’s going to be pretty good. People have been daily driving the C7 ZO6 and ZR1 so I wouldn’t doubt that the vette is a good daily
Damn, I love my new C8. Cannot wait for it to get back from Xpel paint protection jail. By the way, ‘Ring times don’t really mean much. You need to evaluate the overall package of a vehicle and this is where the C8 is hard to beat.
I think the base C8 or a grand sport is all you need to have fun at the track and enjoy spirited weekend drives... Supercharger might again ruin the car and make it heavier, more complicated, less reliable and harder to drive fast...
Wasn't the Camaro ZL1 1le time set with a manual??? That car is insanely good...
Casey Wilson especially the driver. It takes time to race with a manual. Because of all the things you have to worry about.
The lap time at the Ring was computed by adding timed sections of the Ring together for the car not a beginning to end run run to set a record. From and to the same point. It is just for comparison and doesn’t mean anything. Take away Motor Trends stop watch!
You're of course correct. A segmented lap time is utterly meaningless. One would be laughed at for even mentioning such a thing in any serious context. That said the C8 Stingray is a base model car. And a first year design at that, So although it may beat a C7 Stingray it will not and never has set a time even remotely close to that of the 7:10 Nurburgring lap time set by the C7 Z06. And that's not to mention the far more capable C7 ZR1 which never set an official Nurburgring time. As to why not calls for speculation. Although I believe, as do many others, that it was in order to avoid over shadowing the soon to be released C8. The C7 weighs 400 lbs less and has 260 more HP. And the ZTK option includes the high wing for added downforce, as well as the Michelin Pilot sport Cup 2 tires. Which are all but full on race tires. And speaking from experience (I own one) I can tell you they're magical when warmed up.
Heck, driving it home from where I bought it (a dealer in another state) I encountered heavy rain. It was late at night and at first I was a bit concerned but that soon dissolved and the tires were never an issue. I don't recall even slowing down. I had taken my dad with me and even he didn't appear to be concerned. And that's saying a lot. >:)
I think it’s a good time but it’s not great. You can get a Mustang gt350r for 60k and it’s an older front engine car that’s only 2 seconds off
PearlyJarrett wait for the Z06 it will break records.
2 seconds is a lifetime in racing.
Car is truly amazing!
We have the same TPW and I’ve been told mid April
Cup-2s or Hoosier slicks should drop that time a bit.
When is this car coming out?
A couple weeks pretty much sold out of the 2020's though..
Well the Ring is really a horse power track. Just really fast track.
Love it..ordered a black one..
Denis Flaherty once you go black you never go back!!!
A black vette got its wheels jacked. And it was a C8
I expected the C 8 Z51 to have at least 600 hp, but it didn't
Corvette C7 times at Nurgburgring
www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-general-discussion/4184414-c7-nurburgring-times-they-re-all-here.html
C7 Z51 7:33 (S)
C7 Grand Sport 7:27
C7 Z06/Z07 7:10
C7 ZR1 6:57 (S)
This is why I really think Ford needs to stop GT350 production, and use that 5.2L VooDoo engine for a $60,000 mid engine GTA to compete with C8.
Condor1970 uuuuummmm no thank you
Also they would just be copying Chevy by making a new mid engine car
Supercharge it.
also a sub seven second time would be amazing (You said that at 8:17) ; )
10 minutes to tell us something we’ve known for days and could have took 30 seconds lol. Needing that ad revenue. Dislike.
C8 is so hyped.
The C7 being 3 seconds slower means it was near perfection? But the C8 being FASTER somehow means it's just "hyped"?
What are you, an idiot?
My zl1 1LE smokes that time
josh hendrickson man you should have got a standard. Also I’m getting the Hennessy Resurrection package. Can’t wait. It’s going to take a while though because I’m in Canada and I sent my ZL1 1LE over to Texas. So it’s going to take 3-5 months sadly
👍
150000$ for the Z06 this means here in Europe near 200000€ 😭
-Igg1 - I don’t think the C8 Z06 will be 150K if the base care starts at 60k the Z06 will prob be 120K or a little more. That’s still double for a Z06.
Matt M I hope your right cause I’d like to buy one used in a couple years.
@@mattm2507 If its hyped like the GT500 it will go easely 40-50k over ticket.
If you are going to use horsepower and torque as an excuse, then the 992 Carrera S put down a great time! Just sayin.
Power to weight. Porches are go-carts.
@@geopioneergsxr5357 Absolutely. People always seem to ignore this. People also seem to think that the "Ring Time" is the defining stat for a car, yet the vast majority will NEVER be able to post up a time anywhere near the ultimate lap time of their favorite cars.
Z51 is not base
I'm disappointed
It's the stingray version of the C8 tho. Wait for the Z06&zr1 version.
First ever corvette I don't like! Jack
Bad Corvette I own a C2, C3 and a C7 Z06 I used to not like the looks of the C3 but now I got one for a daily driver. They grow on you. I think once you see a C8 Z06 in person you will change your mind especially if your a Corvette guy.
@@craigscott5661 maybe this new car will grow on me , but I'm just not feeling it ! Jack
So it's a 2 seconds slower than a 2010 nissan gtr costing 70k at that time? Pretty interesting
2008* and the gtr has inflated along with all other cars, look at its current price. Yeah, 115,000 USD. So that's how much it costs compared to the corvette now. It also has substantially more horsepower and AWD. If you can't appreciate the laptime of a 60k USD base car being that fast, than you're kidding yourself or looking to be edgy.
You mean a 60k MSRP, right? 70k in 2010 translates in 82k usd in today's money btw
@@TK-nm9dj The basic point is that your attempt to disparage the supposed time here falls flat for multiple reasons.
@@Spotie the time was a disappointment for the hype. Mainly because ghe z06 with that flatplane crank will not be boostable. Let's see what the aftermarket can do for the base one.
@@TK-nm9dj The time is disappointing because of the Z06 that we don't have concrete specs for, yet? That makes no sense.
I fully expect GM to bring a performance prepped ringer to the ring, which won’t be the car the public buys. GM has lied so badly already with 0-60 time. The hype will keep going.
Independent 3rd party reviewers have already replicated GM's claimed 0-60 time, so how are they lying again?
Don’t believe it. Physics doesn’t lie. C8 cannot equal or beat a similar rear drive mid engine McLaren 650S with more power and less weight. 3600 lbs, 495 hp, not AWD, those tires....can’t do 2.9 to 60. How we forget the Hellcat launch hype of under 11 sec quarter mile. Same marketing BS here. Time will show young man. Wait and learn.
@@mikemccormick8115 It's not a question of belief when it;'s documented and verified. You're just being willfully ignorant. 0-60 is all about traction, and the C8 has a lot of it. There's no marketing BS, and it's funny that you bring up physics, what do you think the result of putting a majority of the car's weight over the drive wheels would be? You think maybe that would help with traction? Be less fucking ignorant.
Slow
It's the stingray version of the c8 with 495hp. What do you expect? The Zr1 and Z06 C8 version will be much faster with much more HP.
Slow compared to what other base model cars? Name them.
The C8 Stingray's 7:29 isn't that impressive. The C7 Z06 had an official Nurburgring lap time of 7:10. The C7 ZR1 however, never set an official time, although a segmented lap time of 6:57 was calculated by Jim Mero.
As to why GM chose not to set an official C7 ZR1 time is unknown. However, many suspect, as do I, that it was not done so as to not cast a shadow on the forthcoming C8. I have a C7 ZR1 with the ZTK track package and I'm quite confident it will easily out perform the base model C8 Stingray. It has 260 more HP and weighs 400 pounds less.
In addition, the C7 ZR1 also holds the track record on Virginia International Raceway's Grand Sport West layout, beating cars such a the Ford GT. You can watch the video here: ruclips.net/video/j7j1gCM6-5M/видео.html
That said, a more apples to apples comparison will only be possible when the C8 Zora (or whatever they call it) debuts since it will be the C8 equivalent of the C7 ZR1.
It's the base model of the C8 tho. It has only 495 HP. Wait for the Z06&ZR1 C8 and you'll see a difference..
The C8 is a BASE MODEL CAR. The C7 Z06 has 150 more HP and costs $20k more money. The ZR1 has 250 more HP and costs TWICE as much money. Is there some reason you're using false equivalency to try to make a point here? 7:29 is INSANELY impressive FOR A BASE MODEL CAR. What, do you not believe in context or something? BASE MODEL CAR. Do I even need to point out that the C8 is a full 3 seconds faster than the C7 stingray?
@@cassiespencer6134 Do you not possess any common sense? Obviously if they say C7, they're talking about the Stingray, since when we say C8 we're talking about the Stingray. What you DID say was the C8's 7:29 "wasn't that impressive", which is hilariously ignorant. I mean not that impressive compared to WHAT, exactly? What other base model car can hit a 7:29 on the Nurburgring? Can you name them?
You keep claiming you didn't know what model of C7 they were talking about, but that just shows a total lack of common sense. It's pretty fucking obvious they weren't talking about a Z06, and especially not a ZR1. GM didn't say the C8 was faster than literally every Corvette ever made. Come on. What they did say was that it was faster 0-60, because it has more traction. They did NOT say it was faster on the Nurburgring or on any road course than every Corvette ever made.
All that aside, YOU are the one who said it "isn't that impressive", and that's what I'm addressing. Not what GM said. What YOU said.
@@vernonprice5986 Was I aware they were almost certainly referring to the C7 Stingray? Of course! But again, they left the reader to assume that, which is poor writing. And you're being equally presumptuous by assuming I wasn't aware of it.
That said, the C7 ZR1 held the production car track record at Virginia International Raceway (Grand Sport West track layout) breaking the Ford GT’s record by over a second. Its record was finally broken by the McClaren Senna. A car that cost ~$830,000 more.
So why did GM not publish a Nurburgring lap time for the C7 ZR1, their flagship Corvette model? One can only speculate. So I will: I believe it MAY have been so as not to overshadow the forthcoming C8. They couldn't showcase the previous generation Corvette ZR1 since it's certainly faster than the C7 Z06 with its 7:10 lap time as that could potentially make the C8 look positively S...L...O...W!
By the way, where is that C8 Nurburgring lap time? Will it be forthcoming coming once the car is in production and on the street? I would think so. Although again, I’m still waiting for the official C7 ZR1 Nurburgring lap time. Although I have a feeling I'll be waiting forever.
@@cassiespencer6134 Were you aware they were referring to the Stingray? Really? Because the first thing you did was make comparisons to the Z06 and ZR1, and your excuse for that was that you didn't know which model GM was referring to. But now you're saying you did know what they were referring to? That's funny, because it basically contradicts your original comment. If you understood that they were talking about the Stingray, which again, common sense, you never would have made the idiotic comparisons to the Z06 and ZR1. But you DID.
So now you're trying to walk back your original post, and I mean be serious. Who do you think that's going to work on? We would have to be dumber than you for that to work. And I'm not being presumptuous at all, your OP told me everything I need to know. If you knew they were talking about the Stingray, you never would have made the idiotic false equivalency comparison to the Z06 and ZR1. But you DID.
We're obviously not talking about the ZR1, so I'm not sure why you keep talking about it. And nobody is stupid enough to believe a ZR1 time would overshadow a base model time. They're completely different models. You would have to be colossally stupid to believe the C8 is SLOW based on a comparison to the ZR1. Are you colossally stupid? It's starting to look that way.
And why are you asking me for video of the C8 ring time? Is that something you believe I'm in charge of? Did you watch this video at all that we're commenting on? Did you see the part in GM's video where they put the ring time on the pavement? Is there something you still don't understand about that? And Mero's 6:57 is all you're going to get regarding ZR1 ring times, not sure why you're still talking about it.
And finally since you decided to ignore my request, here it is again. What you DID say was the C8's @ "wasn't that impressive", which is hilariously ignorant. I mean not that impressive compared to WHAT, exactly? What other base model car can hit a @ on the Nurburgring? Can you name them? Name them, please, if you're going to continue to insist the C8's ring time is not impressive.
