- I thought I'd make another windy road POV driving video, this time with the Corvette C7 Stingray Z51. I also mounted a separate mic by the exhaust, you're welcome ;) Thanks for watching everyone!
Definitely the fastest American car u can get for as low as $35k
So what would happen if I were to pull both paddles at the same time? Would the car take a screenshot?
FPSPhilippines yesno
Lol
Puts the car in neutral
@@tonypartridge7085 it does not do that unfortunately, you’d still have to shift the lever to N
@@tonypartridge7085 it does that in the c8.
Love the Corvette videos! The t-top has to be one of my favorite things about the coupe.
Thanks! Yeah I love the fact that the roof can be put in the trunk, sometimes I forget about that feature haha.
I loved this car as soon as you started driving it. The sound is great and i believe that no engine sounds as good as the American V8 sounds and that's including the Shelby GT350 too. Actually, the Lexus RC F v8 sounds good too but the American V8 still is the best sounding car to me.
I agree about the GT350, I can't believe how loud they come from the factory!
No that s not the only car also the dodge challenger hellcat widebody kit
Cammed Camaros are good to!

@@BiGMoFFen Now that many years have passed I want to change my statement, the GT350 is the best sounding engine to me. I just watched Throttle House's video on the Huracan and I still think that the GT350's engine sounds better then even the Huracan's engine sounds. I don't know what I was thinking.
Wait a minute, this isn't the POV video I was looking for....
Turned out being better, huh?
@@PacoRobbins Not until I'm the one making the POV video in my own car haha
FrnchFriez the ending result is the same
Who you callin' pinhead?
I'm going to miami next month and thinking about renting the Corvette stingray for a day. Can't wait to drive it! Heading to key west
Sounds like a fun drive!
Eco mode for less gass. Turing mode good for both back street and highway. Sport mode is really fun
🥰
Its like your very own mini Isle of Man...lol. Oh man, to have that road blocked off as a road course would just be amazing. Nice video brother.
The Moment i hear that u didnt put any shitty music in video. You Got my like As well As subscription . #lovefromindia
Thanks for the support! Glad we're on the same page ;D
Great Onboard Videos. I rly like that you are talking to the viewer.
Really glad to hear you enjoy these, I plan to make more :)
Dude I love corvettes there fast they got nice interiors and sound insane
why the fuck don't u have more subs.
my name is julian

onotario exactly
Can't wait til I get my own Corvette! Either the zr1 or z06
How’s the journey to getting a corvette going?! Rooting for you bro 💪
@@SealTeamThicc I got a stingray
Oh man, I have a white Grand Sport on order and this vid got me super psyched!Thanks for posting!
Congrats! You'll love it!
I used to have a Muncie 4-speed in my '67 Camaro. Got tired of working the heavy-duty clutch in rush-hour traffic. So, when I ordered my 2017 Grand Sport, I opted for the auto trans. I think the paddles are rather useless and more of a gimmick. I mean the computer in Drive mode is most efficient and best at judging as to when to shift gears. That's why the auto trans is slightly quicker than the manual in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. BTW, 80% of 2017 Corvettes produced have the auto trans.
My 2015 camaro has paddels and they do actually serve a purpose. In drive you gotta rely on the computer to change gears. That computer cant account for your planned path. What i mean by this is that if you were instead using the paddles on a road or circuit course with lots of sharp corners and elevation changing turns etc etc. the paddles would allow you to select a gear lower then what the cpu would shift to. Thus allowing you to stay high in the rpms. Its all comfort though. I feel confident that i would lay down a faster time on a backroad with the paddles then a computer. However c7 have better tech and in track mode it may do what i do with the paddles. Just my 2 cents.
You shouldn't base new cars off of your experience in older cars. I can press the clutch in on my cars with my pinkie finger if i wanted... Okay that might a bit of an exaggeration. But a 67 Camaro is light years away from the tech we have now. Hell a car 2 or 3 years old is considered pretty outdated now a days considering every year cars are getting better and more advanced. A car with 1000hp can have a clutch as light as a feather now a days.
You're smart and I hope you love it still
Good job being respectful of the residential area. Lot of other youtubers are inconsiderate douchers.
I just don't feel comfortable driving sprightly around others especially in neighborhoods and such. I really only open it up when i know i have time to react and only do so If I'm not bothering others. The way it should be IMO
Exoticars19 I'm soon getting a brand new car debating between WRX or BRZ any opinion
Exoticars19 That's what makes you a respectable/considerate person.
Streetspeed? That guy is the biggest car douchebag on youtube.
Great video ! What a sound ! I give you all my support from France
Thanks for the support! :D
An 8 speed Vette is where its at!
As a long time manual enjoyer, 8 speeds are absolutely amazing!
This was a good video and i liked the long POV drive. Thumbs Up.
Thank you John :)
Wow very nice car and very nice driving skills, i would give this car a 8.9/10
why does everyone bag on the 8 speed auto? it's so weird. i've owned both and enjoy both. I actually like the 8 speed auto in this car. my shifting (manual) is pretty average and just required too much work these days. my next car is going to be a 2016-18 vette, AUTOMATIC
Hey I'm going to be honest with you I'm new to this and I'm looking for a sports car and I was wondering if you could help me out how's the visibility on this car and fuel efficiency and maintenance thanks
@@AlejandroP1980s On the Corvette c5 you get about 18 miles per gallon and visibility is ok. The side view mirrors are small though. Theres a HUD which is handy too. Idk about new corvettes though
this guyt is the best. we really have a pov of the driving. u earn my sub
So glad you liked the video, thanks for the support!
Lol,love the commentary and this car. Keep up the good work man!
That's a beautiful driving position. With the 7 speed It'd fit like a glove. I hear ya on the grandspoet but I'd take a used c7 z06 vs a new Grandsport
Right there with you, I'd like to keep my eyes on a used grand sport in the next couple years
Road in one of these today , there amazing !
I love how people move their hand 10 times more than is necessary, just to click a f'cking paddle a 1/8th of an inch. LOL.
the reason the paddles are not as responsive is because you don’t have it in track or sport 😭 and i couldn’t see that well but having it in the M on the shifter is good too 💀
Great video I just bought a 2019 identical like the one you got is white with a black trim it's not the Z06 I'm in the process now of shopping around I'm trying to order me some black rims and the red calipers like you have on yours I think that'll look pretty Sharp where I work a friend of mine just bought a 2016 his black mine's got the glass smoke glass t-top his is a painted like his hood the t-top he's got automatic with the power the pedals I've got seven speed manual transmission I have paddles also but I'd rather shifted the manual seven speed I got an extremely good deal on it might as well I got 4,000 miles brand new got red seats black carpet and I love it I drive it to work everyday back home it's got the power if I need it it turns a lot of heads when I pull up to a store somewhere people come out and look at it ask me all about it I stand and talk for 23 minutes at a time
I live in S Fla ,,2004 vette ragtop...I took off the visors, as they detract from my convertible experience...I have a hat behind the seat for when the I head east most mornings..I love the new vettes, but wish they would do something with the visors..camaros have visors that fold over the windshield beam...CHEVY...FIX THIS....
I HATE slow responding paddles. The A8 paddles were slow in my Camaro ss, I traded for a manual after 3 months.
The C7 is cool but not a fan of the direct injection and you need deep pockets if you want to heavily mod the LT1.
That's the car turning on the radio whenever it feels like it. Really weird. My 2016 does the same thing.
Review is very helpful I'm looking to buy a c7 like that seems like it shifts fast enough I bet it's smoother then a 10 speed I drive a 2020 10 speed gt they shift fas but they do shift rough
I never commented BUT good job on the SLS FE. film ☺
For the average guy who wants to tour with this car this car the A8 is by far the best option.
Might be getting one of these soon
That sounds soo much louder then mine
But i dont know how to set the exhaust sounds on it
Usually drive it in tour and sport but it get quiet fairly quick after punching it you know
And i want it loud all the time lol
Take it to a muffler shop and get a x pipe,and open up the headers,take of catalytic converters, your car will sound terrifyingly loud.
88,888 views on a video about a 8-speed automatic corvette, interesting.
Let’s go
I am a new viewer and I wanted to know if you prefer the BRZ or the sexy C7. Also, loved the video keep it up
Thanks for watching! And you might assume I'd take the Corvette over the BRZ in all cases but really, it depends on the road and the type of driving. Mostly because this Vette is an automatic. For daily driving, I'd much rather drive the Corvette. For bombing down the freeway, Corvette again. For windy road driving, depends on the mood i guess haha. Sometime I want to really step on it for longer, heel toe rev match, etc. I enjoy the BRZ more for that. Then again, the C7 is just as enjoyable because of the exhaust note alone haha ;D
Exoticars19 Between the BRZ and the C7 which one for you has better handling and steering feel or how apart are they from each other?
what do u have done to the exhaust?
It's stock, with the factory NPP option. NPP is like an extra $1000, and 100% worth it.
corvet c7 my dreami car🥹🤍
Great video! Subscribed!!
Thanks for the support!
auto tyranny doesn't miss shifts, and it can shift faster then you.
Right, but what if someone just prefers the manual for the engagement? That's something numbers can't explain.
Not only is it faster than him, the 8L90 does shift faster than the PDK.
It is technically faster going from one gear to the next but there is a longer delay before that shift happens and after you flap that paddle. However, there are companies now that can change the pressures in the transmission to make the delay shorter and the shifts even faster. There will always be people that prefer the good ol' manual trans just because they feel it is more a more engaging experience, to each their own.
Great video! I Just took a video driving on a dragstrip with a C7! :-)
Had a 7 speed, didn't care for it too much. I find the 8 speed auto to be fine for me.
Not very pleasant without the top off, right?
Would you say it’s hard to drive? I’ve driven powerful cars before but I currently have a truck and if I’m making the switch I want to be prepared for the power 😂
Im a little late to the party but I drive a 2007 saab 93 fwd with about 200 hp. Had the opportunity to drive a friends 2019 c7, power was easily manageable. Got to the backroads and turned off tc and let it fishtail a little bit and it went just fine. If a 17 year old can handle a c7 I think you can.
10 gears is too many. Engine never gets a chance to wind up. And, why the m7 over the a8? the auto is quicker, nicer in town, etc...
What exhaust is this?? A muffler delete
I would like 2 see the video, with you driving a 7 speed! Where is it?
is this on a stock exhaust?
which model year is this c7???
Hey man good viedo
Thanks man!
Exoticars19 holy shit you're the first UA-camr to ever reply to my comment! What kind of exhaust is in the car because my dad just bought the stingray and he wants to make it loud!
haha, I always reply when I can. This is actually the stock exhaust with the values open. You can go into the car's settings and have the track mode exhaust on all the modes.
Whats does z71 means?
I want a corvette that’s as quiet as my parent’s 1999 Deville
Dude is this stock exhaust？
Yes sir!
Naw, this has to have an X-Pipe or some type pre cat delete. I have a new Grand Sport A8, and the exhaust does not sound like this , especially the gurgles and snaps on throttle lift. This sounds very much like the Borla X-Pipe 60547! If you bought the car pre owned, I will bet you will find an X-Pipe hidden under the flat floor shield under the car! :)
Did you remove the fuse for the dual mode exhaust? That changes a lot for free.
"It sounds like a ghost" lmao
Seems like there is lag between shifts?
Of course it's an automatic, unless you get a dual clutch system they always lag like this and it'll drive you crazy. It's very jarring and feels like the car isnt listening to you.
@@codmott286 yea my friend has a zl1 camaro and his shifts are almost instant. Seems like ill be getting a zl1🎊🎉🎊🎉
Wito T auto??
Have you ever gotten any copyright strikes?
Oh yes, many times without the song actually playing haha. Google's algorithm is weird. Most of the times I fight it and it goes away.
they always crank so hard......that starter motor seems much to weak.
I wonder if it´s able to crank the engine in winter at all.
Stock?
What’s the Exhaust on that
For the C7 you have to plug the key in to start it?
No Push to Start
Have to have the key fob nearby and you hold the brake and push the start button.
I'll an auto I don't mind. Plenty of others who will enjoy the manual and that's ok 🙏🏿
NW Austin?
Just about :)
shift delays are awful long sometimes; think 10speed will not enter the C7 ;-)
I'll be optimistic. Something tells me they're dropping the 10 speed in a Vette' :)
sure in the C8 mid engine ;-)
but that car is´nt a Vete anymore for my taste. I like to have a looong hood and a big V8 in front of me ;-)
I can understand that
Can fat person fit in corvette
Automatic is just way better in my opinion
American car life 7:00 😘
Is this exhaust stock.
yes it is
How do you not have more subs?
Not sure, grateful for the ones I do have however!
Exoticars19 Nice man! You got my sub!
This or manual?
manual
8 speed > 10 speed
from any c7 model we can remove the part of the hard top???
yes
c7 Automatics can shift faster than you can react..
stick is way more fun
Can you please tell me because when I turn 16 I’m thinking about getting a Corvette is the Corvette hard to drive? Is it like a regular car？
i heard its very easy and smooth , i actually want this when i turn 16 but its like 30k
@@foreverglenn2696 30K? For a c6 maybe lol
@@foreverglenn2696 idk about 30 gang but in my area u can get em for around 35-42k the cheapest
So you are saying it is not as good as a PDK but that's ok because it costs less? Sorry bud, that is not an excuse, ZF's 8 speed auto is way better than GM's and can be found in cars ranging from a lowly BMW 328 to a F-Type SVR. GM fucked up with this gearbox.
Better than GM isn't saying much. Plus, the 328 is nowhere near as good as a PDK and the SVR is nearly 2-3x the price of a Vette... bud. Plus, anybody looking into a Vette should probably just get a manual and problem solved. Anybody who doesn't care, is fine on automatic mode.
Exoticars19 No need to be upset, man. First you say that the 328 is not as good as the PDK (comparing a car to a transmission), and then say the F-Type is more expensive than the Corvette. That does not make sense.
The point is, ZF's 8 speed transmission is just way better (more responsive), than GM's 8 speed or even the 10 speed.
I am only stating that the same tranny can be found in a wide range of cars. Even the Hellcats have one (ZF8HP90).
I get that the 8 speed in the Corvette is nice, but nice is not good enough for a sportscar.
How doesn't that makes sense? I just stated facts. I said that the corvette shouldn't be expected to be as good as a PDK because it's a much cheaper car. Then you say that's not a good excuse and bring up the 328 & SVR as examples. Which I don't understand because the 328 is not as good as the PDK and the SVR is in a totally different price range. (2-3x the price of a Corvette) I don't know where that got lost in translation. Also, those 10 seeds are pretty good, but also not as good as PDK. Remember, this started off a comparison with PDK...
Exoticars19 Ok, I will try to be as clear as I can. You compared, in your video, the Corvette's tranny with Porsche's and concluded something like "it isn't as good but it will do because it is cheaper".
MY point was: GM auto is not ok, even considering price difference, since a transmission that is around since 2008 and can be found EVEN in a 328, is better. The transmission in a 328, is better than a transmission in a Vette. The same ZF transmission (with some changes) can be found in the Audi RS6, Dodge Challenger 394 T/A, and the Rolls Royce Wraith. See? I am strictly comparing gearboxes. I am merely pointing out the the same 8 speed from ZF can be found in cars that are both cheaper than the vette(like the challenger), and more expensive than a porsche (the RR).
YOU said the 328 was nowhere near as good as the PDK. I said it is damn nearer to the PDK than GM's 8speed.
To put it simply, the Corvette should be able to hold its own agains Porsche's best, in every aspect, including its gearbox, while being cheaper, that is the car selling point. Saying it is ok if it sucks because it is cheaper, won't do.
Ok, I have no clue where you stand but my opinions haven't changed. Either way, neither of us have a say in the automotive industry as to what tranny they decide to put in their next car so this isn't going anywhere.
10 speed will not fit in a c7.... home mod someone will do it
well he wouldnt stfu so moved to another pov
H
XXXXX
8 speed runs circles around any manual 7 speed 6 speed whatever, automatic is the best.
Yeah 8 speed still the fastest c7 transmission but I wish they gave it the 10 speed for the last model years
@@cashmoneycockburn9502 they might, but too many gears can be bad, 8 is the sweet spot
@@califaern3sto they don’t make c7s anymore my g, I have a 2019 c7 stingray with an 8 speed and that was the last year they made them. C8s have 10 speeds though, too bad they have zero interior space so u can’t daily it. I just notice that 10 speed auto Mustang gts and certain cars with 10 speed shift a little smoother than my car.
Bro can’t even drive an automatic corvette lmao
Okay bubba
Starting your comment out with “Bro” makes you immediately loose any credibility.
All I see is white :(
You dont know how to drive it. Stick the transmissi0n. Its you.
No one wants to hear talking
Sounds like a lawnmower 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Talk too much
Bitch too much
Exoticars19 you so sensitive
