The C8 Corvette Z06 Has Multiple Personalities!

Is there any tech in a gas powered car? Absolutely.
Shot on Pixel 8 Pro

[@TheSuhas96]

This is a great video. The pixel 8 video quality is honestly shocking but the audio leaves a lot to be desired. Just a minor correction for the car, all corvette models in the c8 generation have an 8 speed dual clutch transmission. Cheers

[@MaxArthey]

I have a feeling that he's used Audio Eraser on the video and that's why the audio sounds a little off.
Or... The audio could just be garbage 😅

[@rano12321]

It's probably because of the wind you could hear here and there and the probably used Audio eraser to get rid of the wind noise which made the audio tiny.

[@Mikivli]

yeah I was surprised that google improved the video by a lot. It honestly looks amazing & great. lowkey making me consider returning my 15 pro 😂

[@soulinfinity0]

​@@MaxArtheyDid you notice that he's recording through the back camera when he faces the camera other way his voice is nice and crisp cuz of the mic positioning

[@psychomantys902]

I think he used audio eraser in this video.

[@TheCWasson12]

The audio phasing is pretty painful in stereo. Mic is super clear when there's no wind though. I wonder if that "Audio Magic Eraser" could have come in handy to tune down the wind.

[@BigBallBearingturBo]

I'd be surprised if they didn't already try that as well as the Video Magic feature.

He was behind the phone using the front camera, making sound poor. That's user error. When he flipped to himself the mics worked great, the way the phone is intended to be used.

@@NGGPeter the minority isn't the majority. 9/10 zo6 owners over 15k miles haven't had issues. And I'm sure the statistics will be roughly the same as it approaches 100k.

@@NGGPeter it’s been longer than 6 months and in the time I’ve had it I have put 9k miles with roughly half being hard track miles. The people you see with issues is because they didn’t properly follow the break in period and probably don’t service the car as it should be if it’s being tracked.

That happens when you gotta drive the car insead of the car driving you. Love these C8s. So fun. Nothing but smiles every time.

[@IStratz]

Something also cool about the ZO6 is how the intake design works to achieve such high naturally aspirated horsepower numbers. It essentially has different valves that open and close inside the intake at different RPM levels that optimizes the air travel path to each cylinder. It does this to the point where it actually achieves higher than atmospheric pressure (basically supercharging without a supercharger). It's a little more complicated than I explained, but the channel EngineeringExplained did a great video on how it works.

[@ninthcloud6331]

Mr Brownlee should have done more homework. Along with what you're talking about, this car is freaking loaded out in crazy amounts of tech. Highly sophisticated engineering. The C8 Z06 is a modern automotive marvel. I'm a bit disappointed that he missed so much.

[@elchoronano]

Yeah this is highly advanced, especially for the price, that engine too it's amazing and a engineering miracle

[@IStratz]

Yeah, I mean in order to explain some of these things though, you have to get really in depth. And for the audience that watches his videos, It gets to a point where it might make the video boring to normal viewers because of how technical everything gets. So I understand him not going into crazy detail about some of the technology. Still cool he does stuff like this though. @@ninthcloud6331

That is the dream. This engine, in a lightweight frame. No tech, just you and the car. That is my dream car. If i had to, i would buy a completely wrecked z06 and pull that engine out if i had to.

[@ninthcloud6331]

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

it's alright, still very understandable for non car person level.

[@volkswagenhawk7094]

Missed a ton of tech. In track mode there are sub traction modes for varying levels of traction off. It also has a wet race mode in PTM. It has a electronically controlled rear LSD that couples to the drive modes. It has GPS memeory nose lift so it remembers places you go regularly it auto lifts when you get close. The Bose audio system also has noise canceling to help reduce certain engine noises and tire noise.

[@danb3106]

I’ve watched your channel on occasion, but never terribly interested in the cars you test. This one was a stretch for you, and it was well done. Very nice and competent review. Most focus on this car’s performance, so your tech approach was an interesting new perspective. Keep on stretching, you did great.

[@SurgeDashcam]

I'd like to see the same video without the noise suppression with the Magic Audio Eraser. There's clear audio distortion in louder environments as the software tries to keep vocal audio but also reduce wind noise, environmental noise, etc. This is to be expected as I haven't come across Audio noise suppression that doesn't do this.

[@FlipperInc]

You should try one of the plug-in hybrid Porsche Panameras. In terms of tech, it is both an electric car and a gas car and having to seemlesly blend both of those into one vehicle that is both high performance while still giving an even more stealthy mode. On a completlety different note, the new Fiat Topolino or the Citroen Ami(same platform) would be amazing for you to test. Compact affordable electric cars that have more character than anything else 10X their price. Perfect for the city

Thank you for doing these experiments with using smartphones for actual video recordings. This just gives so much better perspective than other UA-camrs who just take biased 10 second samples to prove their point!

[@inkassso]

From the reflection visible on the cockpit display it looks like the Pixel 8 Pro, the flash on the right side of the back (lower half in the reflection, when positioned horizontally on the left side) and not vertically centered with the lens gives it away.

[@vinhngo1894]

There is a lot of information about the drivetrain development, suspension design, and chassis integration that could be mention. The Z06 has the LT6 flat-plane crank V8, the double-wishbone suspension has increased spring rates and Z06-specific dampers with adjusted rebound, and not to mention the electronic limited-slip differential that dramatically influences the driving dynamics.

[@user-od4wj6lm9k]

For the front trunk you need to long hold the 2nd press. Its weird.

[@condio]

It’s because old people were opening the frunk when getting into the car and driving at low speeds. It was going off in their pocket, they didn’t see the warning on their dash, then got shocked when they broke the frunk from it flying up on the highway. Chevy patched this into all C8s and changed the original behavior.

[@Titchygammon]

Video quality is amazing. Sound quality was okay, but struggled in the wind.

[@diegocueva1434]

If you could get the new nsx that’d be cool. I wonder if it’s ‘hybridness’ is still up to par with the advances and new standards for what you would expect from a car like that. Also if anything is new/different from when it first came out. But ofc you should do cars you want to!!

Dang, lots to take out of this video regarding what I assume is Pixel 8 pro.
I come to that conclusion by the very distinct oversharpening that Pixel phones have consistently shipped with for the past 3-5 models (eg 6:47-ish on Marques face). Besides it being over sharpened in post, the colors look great and overall a nice looking video in my opinion.
The thing that REALLY kills it as everyone else has mentioned it the audio. The clipping is AWFUL. Even occasionally clipping during regular speech is completely unacceptable, not even to mention while the car is running or outside in the wind. If Google can update it and fix this issue, this will overall be a compelling product.

[@matthewfeatherston8982]

As an embedded software engineer, there is a lot of tech that goes into not only ICE cars, but also things you would not think of like aircraft. All the systems inside any modern car nowadays will send data on a data bus to a computer that will analyze the data. If the data it gets is bad, then warnings/lights will pop up on the dashboard display. For example, a simple tire pressor sensor will read the tire pressure. It sends that reading to a computer, if it's below a certain pressure the computer lights up the "Low Pressure" alert on the car's dash board. In order for the computer to know what's a good pressure/bad pressure reading, it's my job as a embedded software engineer to tell the computer what's a good reading and what is a bad reading through code.
