    Does it need a mid-rear engine? Are you excited for the C8?

      I was never a fan of the C7, but this video is making me reconsider. You made some hilarious jokes about the average Corvette owner, but ignoring that there is a coolness to the car. It's an American icon. Everyone loves a Corvette. I can't wait for the C8 to shake up the sports/super car makert but I'm glad the C7 exists. Definitely time to go mid engine, or at least go with a way more sophisticated suspension setup.

    I track a C7 Z06/Z07 often, and love it. Not seeing any mid engine cars pass me with it. It’s a beast on track, and a little extra aero does the trick. For those wanting a manual, it’s just not as quick on the track as the paddles, or the new dct. If you like driving it for a daily driver, so be it.
    As for feeling like you’re going to die, not so much. It does give you the same feeling that the roller coaster does when you think it’s going off the rails, but doesn’t.

    25yr track driving instructor. Agree. Grand Sport for track. Having the brakes, wide tires, and same suspension as Z06 means your overbuilt where it counts for best track time in the GS. If highway running, the Z06....unless you can build your own twin turbo monster.....then GS again with the zed look. Great job guys.

    Great video! I had a slightly built C6 Z51 6 sp MT for 3 track seasons, loved it. Just got a smokin deal from MacMulkin Chevy on a 2019 Grand Sport 7 sp MT and it's got wayyyy better everything except that the old car was a true animal, like a Harley with straight pipes, you really felt a close oneness with the car, the GS is somewhat isolated feeling. I wasn't ready for the Z06 yet, too many drivers aren't honest about their own abilities and just want bragging rights, end up trashing a beautiful car but it's their money.

    The C7 I would choose if I was in the market would be the GrandSport. The NA powertrain is much more balanced to the ZO6 suspension that way.
    Can't wait for the C8 Zo6, rumored to have a flat plane crank V8 and 8600 rpm redline. Imo, that is going to be the car to have.

    It's not simply that it's not a ZF trans, it's that it's not a DCT, you can have a non ZF DCT and it'll work great, like in the new C8.
