I recently spent some time with the C8 Corvette and had a very knowledgeable Product Specialist (Richard) go over some key aspects of the car. I wanted to share that knowledge with all of you after hearing it. Let me know what you think of what he had to say down below. 👍👍
After listening to the whole presentation, I only have two words: HOLY COW! One thing is for sure, there's more plumbing/HVAC ducting going on with the C8 than what's in my house. Great upload Justin!👍 Save the Wave.🙋♂️
The C8 has so many cool features... The engineers worked long and hard to create this car. Finally in production. A great time for Corvette enthusiasts.
Thanks for more info on the C8. Can’t help but watch all of these, I am getting pretty excited, I got my TPW, my car will be built the week of March 16. Going to be a long 7 or 8 weeks waiting on it.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Really torn between TR & ELB. Can't decide what interior color for ELB (don't trust long-term care issues w/ white) so probably go TR w/ all black & red stiching/2-tone seats. Not having seen the AR in person I'm afraid it would be too much red overkill. Looking forward to seeing your future vid when your car is delivered. Good luck!
I DON'T WANT TO TRACK THE CAR SO AFTER READING THE Z51 ONLY REDUCED THE 0-60 TIME BY ONE TENTH OF A SECOND, I HAVE DECIDED I SEE NO STREET PURPOSE FOR THE Z51 PACK. SO NOW IF I HEARD RIGHT YOU DON'T GET MAG RIDE SHOCKS UNLESS YOU PAY $5,000 AND CHECK THE Z51 OPTION, I AM RETHINKING THE C8 PURCHASE. WHERE I LIVE THERE ARE SPEED BUMP EVERYWHERE AND LOTS OF ROUGH ROADS TOO. I WANT MAG RIDE NOT STIFF SHOCKS.
Cool. Interesting. Richard is correct. No one talks much about maintenance. Change the power steering pump on a McClaren. $32,000. The C8 with the mag shock setup is going to drive like a dream.
Watched the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Just so you know, that's a 24 hour Sports Car road race held every year at Daytona International Speedway in FL. The Corvette Race Team had two new C8 midengine vettes entered and came in 4th and 7th in their class. Not a bad showing for their first outing. I was shocked when Cadillac took first over all... Who knew Caddy even had a race team?
Man, I really didn’t like the look of it when it was first unveiled. But dammit, it’s growing on me. The more I hear the more I know that the C8 ZR1 will be in my garage at some point.... They get me every time.
I went to All American Chevrolet in Midland, TX last Friday to see a C8 in person. Now this was an X-C8; Experimental car so it will be crushed. No talk about shock adjustments due to road conditions, etc. This car probably doesn’t have that advanced suspension since it is an X. The Chevy / Corvette Reps with the show did not share near this much information!!! Very small crowd 7-10 when I was there.
That dude knew his C8 thoroughly. That was a excellent presentation that has me sold on this car. Without saying it, he eluded to the car being beyond what most exotics are giving you for a ROAD CAR. Its quite interesting and smart beyond what is being offered by European automakers in particular. Just to think you literally get 2 c8s for ones partially loaded Carrera S is mind boggling when I actually think the C8 is designed better.
Awesome video! This guy was great on camera and knew his stuff. Love the background music too🤣. I like when he said “thoughtfully designed” because that definitely shows with this car. Hurry up with the Z06 GM!
were're only a month or 2 away from seeing actual reviews. can't wait :D can't wait to get one in 2022 also. my 07 C6 just crossed 100k miles also this week hehe major depreciation COOMEE ONN INNNNNN :D
Just a heads up guys. I got a call from my dealer (Mississauga, ON, Canada) on Jan 30th, 2020, that ground effects package will not be on the 2020 corvette. I ordered mine with it but due to supplier issues, no 2020 corvette will have the ground effects package as per the representative. I have decided to go ahead with the order anyways.
I’m no engineer, nor do I play one on the internet, but what he said about putting a manual in it to me crushes any hope of that. I just don’t see how you get around that. Now me personally, my Z06 is a manual and all my former “toys” were but I’m not a manual purist. I’d get a DCT just the same and not think twice.
A few observations: - You both did a great job. - Being born in the 1960s, I appreciated the loud ABBA music. - Gapping the frunk for a trickle charger is a recipe for driving away with the charger attached. Any exotic owner knows to leave the hood or trunk full open as a reminder. - 495 HP is a "supercar?" Come on now. Lets put some sort of realistic cuffs on the marketing dept. - The 2.8 sec claim has fallen to 3.4 secs from Edmunds, but the lack of a decimal place and no stated measuring method is still concerning. Is this coming from OBD data or an actual test? - A Toyota Camry timing belt costs what? - A lot of the features are new to Corvette but don't ring the same to potential customers coming from other platforms. E.g. computer adjustable shocks, a DCT which has already been dropped in all BMWs and other cars, self adjusting ride height, adjustable steering and brakes (which I find a little dangerous, personally). - It's nice that the left intake gets some ram air pressure. - Both C8s appear to have had cooling issues at Daytona. The #4 car is rumored tp have chronically overheated, including qualifying day, as the explanation for it finishing 345 laps down. Questions I would like to see asked: -Does GM's new encrypted digital architecture prevent common customer upgrades like an engine or suspension tune? - Will GM share the encryption keys after warranty expiration? - Is GM considering a warranty upgrade with competing cars in this price category typically offering anywhere from 4 to 7 years bumper to bumper? - What are the stock rear rim widths? (ask any Hellcat guy about buying new replica wheels) -Will you please upload a verified 2.8 sec result to the Dragy database? - What is the latest production car curb weight? -What are the brake disk diameters on the Z51? - Why is production delayed? - What was the problem with the #4 car at Daytona? - Have the 2 years in a row, fairly easy front engine wins at Daytona caused any changes to GM's mid-engine thinking?

Great vid Justin...I just finished watching your review of the Supra and Vette with Mike also a fun and great on on the 717. I was wondering has anyone thought of possible damage that could happen the the front rads from road debris as there is no old style grill there to protect it as well something that could get thrown into the side intake? Cheers, Kevin Ottawa
It’s a bit confusing because they aren’t supposed to exist quite yet, but there is a new video showing what looks to be at least 70 C8’s in the Factory parking lot wrapped and ready to ship. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/FM5TXd2RN5k/v-deo.html. At 1:40 in.
The design of the C8 is a lawsuit invitation. It's a matter of time before the pointing sharp point by the door handle punch through your quadricep and cause you limb for life. They need me to redesign for them.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I guess, with that hard top just right above the engine is a little bit more tight vs the coupe. I guess we'll see, I'm sure the engineers did their homework.
Hey Justin...In your talk with him did you get anymore into the MagRide? In the video it seemed he was saying there is so much computer communication going on it seemed like there was no need for it unless you are tracking it I guess? Cheers, Kevin Ottawa, Canada
This thing is gonna need 40 gallons of coolant to run the full lap of that car. I’m thinking since it runs along the door jams, it may make those a tad warm on a hot day! I’m still not convinced that this thing won’t overheat when pushed. I’m sure that the detractors will say that they are great on the racetrack blah blah! That’s not driving on our highways and city streets, where there is no air movement etc. Not too mention, all of the trick goodies that are added to race cars that are not added to stock. C7’s had overheating issues early on in their production and mine gets super hot even up here in Canada! I think I will wait a couple years before I would pull the trigger.... first of all, I don’t want a “Stingray” I would want Z06 or better, and I don’t want to be a GM lab rat dealing with technical and mechanical issues after spending a shit ton pile of money! Keep up the great videos Justin.
Has anyone ever questioned that Accelerometer is a real word? Has exactly does rear engine reduce active airflow? The reasons given for not having a manual are nonsense. I believe they simply don't sell enough in the base models to warrant the development cost with their other development overhead. Sadly this reduces the fun factor of this car significantly.
It is in fact "a real word". An accelerometer measures the real acceleration of a physical object. For example, in one of the aircraft I fly (F-16) the HUD (head up display) has an instantaneous G meter which obtains its data from an accelerometer. With 1 G being the force of gravity on a static object. That being what one feels while sitting in a chair reading. However, if you were moving and then change direction the G force you would subsequently feel could easily be greater (or less than) 1 G. That said, one need not be in an aircraft to experience high G forces. For example, hit an immovable object while driving a vehicle and your body would experience high negative G forces. Not good! Ever been on a roller coaster and suddenly go over the top and experience that “lose your stomach” feeling? That’s a mild negative G maneuver. Greater negative G’s than that suck! So yes, ‘accelerometer’ is a real word and they're quite useful for a number of applications. For example, they can be used to measure vibration since it’s movement.
@@cassiespencer6134 Ya...I wasn't questioning that it was a real word. I was questioning whether people actually doubt that it's a real word. Nice way to work in the pilot angle though and answers to questions no one asked. Totally not stereotypical pilot behavior. There are a lot more accelerometers in that F-16 than what's used for your G meter. There will be accelerometers measuring engine vibration, measuring wing deflection for the FCS and so on. If you have a cell phone you have an accelerometer in you hand. If you're using a laptop you have an accelerometer. You most likely have one in your car. It is a very common piece of technology and not limited to forth gen fighter jets. .
Tell that to the Corvette racing team.........had to drop one of the cars out of the Rolex 24 hrs due to cooling issues (yes it came back for "testing" but so what)...............uh oh............
Well the C8.R is quite a bit different so I don't think those issues would affect the base C8 here. The C8 Z06 might have an issue though if that's the case.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Right, but they sure missed the August/September 2019 time period like most new 2020 cars. I suppose the answer to my question is that they miscalculated and already designated them as 2020 thinking they should be out before the end of the year. Lets see how they handle the Z06 whenever that is.
What upsets me about the vents on the Supra is not that they are covered from the factory, its that Toyota implied the vents could easily be made functional, which was completely misleading.

Exactly. I'd rather hear that then a bunch of false information.
Yeah
best thing I've been able to find on the internet that talks about C8 cooling and aero
That young man did such a great job, Richard , I hope Chevy sees this and gives you kudos !
Agreed!

Thanks, Peter! The car definitely has the cooling game down!
"Crazy quirks and awesome features" HAHHA. I see what'cha did there. Good one! LOL

@@HorsePowerObsessed I meant the left and right hand mirrors. But with LCD we don't need the mirrors
Oh yeah, that's coming soon I'm sure. It's been on a few different concept cars for a while now. Probably more reliable than actual mirrors anyway.

Thank you! That means a lot, my friend!
The design of the C8 is a lawsuit invitation. It's a matter of time before the pointing sharp point by the door handle punch through your quadricep and cause you limb for life. They need me to redesign for them.
Did you ask him how much of the cooling affects the convertible version?
Shouldn't be any change in that regard. The convertible doesn't touch anything cooling wise.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I guess, with that hard top just right above the engine is a little bit more tight vs the coupe. I guess we'll see, I'm sure the engineers did their homework.

There's a lot of use for it outside of tracking. It can basically be as smooth as you want it to be or stiff for competitive driving.

The only thing that dissuades me from wanting one is the V4 mode on this
You can get the "Range" device to disable cylinder deactivation. That's what I'll be doing.
Doesn’t the car electronic system get like software updates or something? If so what would happen to that Range thing then?
You get what you pay for and it definitely is not a super car nor is the 458 but the 458 is significantly better in design and the use of air
