I think this one of the few times that Jeremy actually likes a car from the US, and I’m not saying that because I’m American and I’m salty that people are trash talking American cars, because they are kinda right. A lot of cars from here are pretty cheap and plastic and not the best to drive for fun like some European cars. So hearing that a corvette like this is actually liked by someone as critical as Jeremy Clarkson, means that it must be pretty good to come from the US.
@@con3521 love? He had a love affair with that thing haha. he was obsessed with it. Funny though he didn’t buy the new one. Maybe because it was a v6 instead of a v8?
I love German and American cars they're awesome and super cool!!! I adore the Corvette and I admire the Porsche Corvettes and Caymans are some of my favourite cars ever!!! I always love Germany and USA!!
I had to make this exact decision earlier and I went with the vette. My dad has a boxster and I appreciate the precision, but I want a monster that COULD kill me if it wanted to. Porsche's are amazing, but sometimes you just need to get punched in the face to feel alive.
Lol, and that's not even the Z06. I love the Porsche too, I think they're perfectly engineered, but I'd take a Corvette any day. Didn't know the C7 can turn half it's cylinders off too be more economical.
Contrary to what Richard Hammond said it is not the best Americans make, The Dodge Viper ACR or the Ford GT would easily exceed the standard model C7 or the Z06 version.
Right, but the price of those cars makes it an unfair comparison. The Ford GT is not a base-level sports car like the Corvette or the Porsche Cayman. It's a supercar that's more along the lines of the Porsche 918 or a McLaren Senna. The Viper is not quite a supercar, but it's still much more expensive than the Corvette. Whenever Top Gear makes these superlative statements, it's always in the context of its price range.
Don't forget the ZR1? The top dog. Or did you leave it out of your list of Corvettes on purpose? The C7 ZR1 beat both the Viper, and the GT around VIR race track. Look up Car And Drivers Lightning Lap times.
Really?-do you know what you're talking about? I've had a 911, and my mate has had more Porsche's than me-in fact 911 turbo, Cayman GTS, Boxster Spyder, Cayenne. He tells me and it's my experience too that you have to get to a 911 turbo to match the Cayman. I won't go back to a 911 now.
@@AnonAnon-qi4ts c8 is less than the c7 due to the lack of transmission choices. I will say it until the day I die. A proper sports car has a manual transmission.. Yes, a proper track car, these days. Is dual clutch autotragic, but I'm talking going out and enjoying the drive on the street, it should be a manual..
corvette💥vehicle has supercar feel top pest look very European driving with the C6, porsche good vehicle classic look non supercar much more banal as usual.
@@beardedgeek973 Then you have some very sad dreams to say the least. Yes one of them is a Corvette and the other one is a Porsche, but its not a 911 or Carrera it's the Cayman the weakest of the bunch and to say it's better than the Vette it's simply a very bias thing to do and they should have a disclaimer saying they're fan boys and we'll know what to expect. Cheers 🍻
Clarkston, just cannot accept an American built sports car as a good car. But yet, its funny how he migrates to a German sports car, or an Italian one, what's the matter Jeremy, can't the UK build a legitimate sports car.! You're all negative towards the United States, can't your own country build a successful sports car.?! That you have to put an American car down in favour of a German made car.! What a Hypocrite.!
I'm just laughing at how they will always overly praise an overrated, overpriced, turd that is Porsche. It's been beaten to death by Corvette for over 20 years in LeMans, Sebring, Daytona, Lime Rock, Laguna Seca, etc. I mean shit, Corvette has dominated so much, they made Ferrari and Porsche, among others, basically quit. Not to mention they made the other American manufacturers(Ford and Dodge) quit cause they couldn't hack it, oh and they did it with a car that cost half to as little as 1/10th of its competitors. Hell, my '99 vette would stomp that Porsche into the ground.
@@drkstr7 Unfortunately you don't know the racing history of the car you claim to own? I recommend you look up it's racing heritage, it won IMSA GTLM championship last year.
Porsche all the way . I don’t care if it’s slower to 60 lol. Maybe it’s just where I live but when I leave the house on the weekend I will see upwards of 20 corvettes to maybe 1 Porsche . The Corvettes nice but not for me . Styling is also subjective as I think the Porsche lines and profile are classic.
@@Ra111den I’m sure I would like it . I’m just not really a corvette person . I understand why people like them and the new ones are sharp looking for sure . If I had unlimited funds I would buy one and add it to my car collection. I own 2 Porsches and absolutely love both of them . Repair costs are scary if something goes wrong but my experience is if you do the maintenance and don’t cheap out they will be reliable and last .
@@philandviki aha the reason why i am saying is because chevy actually really worked to make the c8 an actual supercar with a mid rear engine with unbelievable value. The starting price is $60000, and that is insane with 495hp and supercar looks. And from other corvettes, the interior looks premium and supercar like. As for maintenance, its no Japanese reliability, but far better than European counterparts. American parts are super east to find and not too expensive. There is a joke that you can pull up with your corvette to a chevy dealer fixing 10k chevy cruz lol

Can confirm, my mom hates my C7.

I love how top gear used Captain AMERICA winter soldier music in this episode 🌝🌝
I'll still buy a Corvette ❤️

Thai video is one of the reasons I bought my yellow C7 vette!
i wanted to buy a corvette after this just forgot the fact that i was 12
😂😂😂😂
lmao dude, I'm in love with corvettes ever since I drove one in Need For Speed Carbon. I too have always wanted one since my childhood
Start saving money early. Do summer jobs when you are old enough.

Porsches are faster.
@@twilightsuzuka6252 I'm not saying this Corvette is faster than every Porsche. It sure is faster than the Cayman though.
@@twilightsuzuka6252 Corvettes are way cheaper
@@jamalraja9157 Faster than the new cayman ?
@@mikael4126 Yeah but they have worse interiors and they have massive dealer mark-ups.
Thanks for uploading!
I have both and love them both. Had the 911, and decided 2 was better than one. Both have their purpose.
"You WOULD have to explain it"
Nah, you just open the exhausts and let it talk
I'll take the dirty librarian but I'll have the lap dancer on the side
I sold my Ferrari to buy a Corvette C7. I have never been happier in my life
What Ferrari did you have?
The last great Corvette
why do people hate the Cayman so much🤔

@@Christopher_TG yes exactly. I think you misunderstood that I was implying how expensive it is.
You’d have to explain the cayman too… everyone knows the only people who buy caymans are people who can’t afford 911s. Period.
Ouch!🤣
I like the Vette. I think even snobby guys know the C7 was the best bang/buck car ever made and the C8 is gone soft and a little more upmarket.
@@AnonAnon-qi4ts nah. The c8 is fantastic. I think they made it more of a GT car and the Z06 got a bit more hardcore. I love what they have done.

corvettes are such an eye sore. It's like every other sports car you see being driven on the road.
I think that’s their charm. They look just as cool as a lamborghini at like a 10th of the price and amazing performance for the price.
And they end with a sexist joke...
