^ Most impressive.

5.M0NSTER · 04-07-2020, 06:07 PM

Bit disappointed in the white M3. First of all, let the faster car pass. Second of all, the Civic was all over him.

Also, Civic, let a brother pass man. Poor track etiquette. Both of them.

N54Yankee · 04-07-2020, 06:45 PM

Both guys drive very well and I couldn’t believe when I saw the kids face running the Vette at the end, damn they get younger everyday. There was no other target for this Corvette on this day he was hunting GT3. Kudos
Barely a month on the streets and the new C8 made a great showing for itself in this vid and GM is going to have a serious track contender with this one no doubt.

Ugh, I'm not a big fan of this video. Poor driving/track etiquette all around.... this kid just got lucky and happened to get on track in his C8 at the same time as an expensive Porsche... Next please.

Randy Pobst's video reviews/comparisons are much better.
Also check out GSpeed on YouTube, they have a C8 they will be testing and modifying at the track where their shop is located over the next few months. Will be a great one to follow.

What is that green stuff at the track?

This isn't the Willow Springs International Raceway I know.

If you have ever sat in a Camaro or other GM product you will learn pretty quickly that fit and finish has never been high priority for the company. That said the stitching is distractingly bad here as I have seen this done better in entry level vehicles like a Toyota RAV4. You can see the trim in the upper right corner doesn't line up but as I said before this is pretty common from GM. You aren't going to get this level of performance and an interior that matches the Germans for the price point.

Mine is just fine. Also, here is a C7 interior. I think it stands up against any other modern high end sports car. The owner should get this fixed at no cost and GM should make sure it doesn't happen again.

I saw my first one in the wild yesterday.....when I first saw it coming down the street towards me I thought it was a Ferrari. Damn nice looking car in red.

Great Value Ferrari

See5 · 04-15-2020, 11:35 AM

Eh, I get more McLaren 650S vibes than Ferrari for the C8. It's clear given how similar the C8 and GT turned out.

Bloody Awesome. That’s the most positive review I’ve ever seen for a Corvette from across the pond. Would be great to see a bunch of those rowdy colonists cars tearing up the Empire.

TXSTYLE · 04-19-2020, 02:13 PM

Z06 info...

PoorLurker · 04-20-2020, 05:39 PM

Actually looks good here!

In the video, the car's rear "quarter panel" needs some minor adjustments. It's too batwingish for me.

9000rpm v8 flat plane - drool

5.M0NSTER · 04-21-2020, 03:34 AM

So glad to see this Z06 will be naturally aspirated. I haven't been this excited for a car in a long while.

Now to start the process of convincing the missus that one is required.

N54Yankee · 04-21-2020, 07:51 AM

One mans comparison between the new Supra and Corvette.

Wow. So cool. I can hear the sports car enthusiasts fapping already. 💦

I guess it makes sense to compare these two since people may also compare the Supra to a Cayman and they get compared against Corvettes. I wish this were a full fledged BMW instead of a Toyota and had more of the Z4 styling but in coupe form with an S55 motor.
