I dont know cars, I know stock. If this car was a stock, it could be called an ipo stock that is undervalued. Which means the cheapest time for purchase can be at the beginning. In other words, the C8 may not get cheaper for a long, long time. This happens. I can go like this: company sells car undervalue to penetrate market and loses money it intends to reclaim later. After a while, the company chokes supply of non-premium trims and the premium trims are a LOT more expensive. Buyers therefore flock the non-premium trims in the 2nd hand market, and the vendors realize: "buyers have the choice betw this non-premium 2nd hand car at 60k, and a premium model at $160k. So why should I drop my price? If you want a C8 then pay 80k or find $160k." Early adopters of the C8 are rewarded with increases in value. Late adopters have to really, really want a C8, and will have to pay. This will also stimulate a healthy aftermarket--which the co will also try to profit from--because ppl will try to avoid premium prices by purchasing a non-premium C8 and modding it. I am assuming and speculating a lot. My aim is to paint a picture.
The C8 has a tiny interior with tight bucket seats. I can guarantee nobody over the age of 50 buys this car in fear of getting stuck, and throwing out their back trying to get out. Also, this car's not depreciating for a while, they're already selling $40k over market value on average.

Yeah, but it cost twice as much as a C8 Vette, and it can barely beat it in a straight line. Nissan better do something because every year the GTR moves down a few notches in performance compared to other cars. The C8 Z06 (which will be coming out as a 2022 model) will be faster than a GTR in a straight line and destroy it around a road course.

@Formidable Legend123 Old fat people wont fit in the new Corvette. Go sit in one when you get the chance, the interior is really small and the seats are really tight. There's a reason why the wheel is so small, and it's not to save money like the Civic used to do.
@@garygeldofdaly2927 come on..lol the GTR is using refined and upgraded tech based on 2010 technology with more power and tuning. Its like upgrading your phone and still saying its the same phone. Other car companies caught up especially chevy with just RWD
It's a NA RWD car, how is that the latest technology? It was obviously made with a specific customer in mind that values both of those things, while still putting up some decent performance numbers and being relatively inexpensive.
@@dylanfarris7647 Yeah this Corvette has an insane 60K starting MSRP. Not sure this one will depreciate as most American muscle cars do, but even if it doesn't that's still one hell of a deal. On the other hand, 60K hardly gets you a low mileage 1-3 year GTR. But that's going to be true of most cars that compete with the Corvette, to be fair.
The C8 is not an especially technologically-focused car and never has been. It always was a bargain and this one costs 50k less than the GTR. Thanks for your idiotic joke..
I was rooting for the _Underpowered Underdog_ the whole way... And especially considering the hp disadvantage, I think the Corvette performed brilliantly...! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@Artificial_Dopamine Ohh yeah, but let this base spec rattle their cages and have some of the limelight for a bit... When the Z06 steps in, it'll obliterate the competition at least $50k ahead 👍🏼
Yes this is obviously a big step up from the C7, it has the traction to use the power. Very quick for a base car. Very impressive. This coming from GTR owner. Kudos to GM.
Just for reference, in the US the base msrp for each of these cars are thus: C8 Corvette: $59,995 Nissan GT-R: $113,540 MB AMG GT 63 S: $161,200 The races were pretty close regardless, especially between the C8 and GT-R, but context is important. The GT-R costs MORE than TWICE as much money as the Corvette, while the AMG costs not quite but almost THREE TIMES as much money as the Corvette. And of course both have significantly more power than the Corvette too. Personally I would have liked to see some lap times.
Thank you, I was going to look that up. More GTR fan boys need to see this and realize the corvette shouldn't even be in the same class, let alone competing with it at this price
@@jarvond21 you can pick up a used corvette for the same price as a used GTR. Used prices aren't a fair comparison. Also the used prices are still pretty close to the new price of the corvette
Im on the same page! Haters r just gonna hate but im looking forward to the ZO6 and ZL1 as well! But being a true car guy i like em all! Gtr is no joke ! Lol
Carldine Bando fuck you mean L bro? that 60k base corvette kept up with top of the line cars? The fact that they barely got a car length on that vette is an L for them tbh
So nice to see the GTR back in action after long. I think we forgot who taught the world what drag race, under 3 sec 100 and launch control is #Godzilla
@@Darion350 You do realize they have the same exact engine and that the AMG GTR is RWD? So the AMG GT launches better off the line thanks to the AWD system, but since it's heavier and less aerodynamic, it will be much worse at higher speeds. To better illustrate this, check out this video of AMG GTR vs Nissan GTR: ua-cam.com/video/NMNXRvxeRfk/v-deo.html In contrast to AMG GT vs Nissan GTR where the AMG GT launched as hard but was just slower overall, the AMG GTR gets owned on the launch by the Nissan GTR, but then comes back to pass it at higher speeds.
Giving it more power with turbos and more traction with AWD doesn't make it any kind of engineering marvel. The Corvette launching as hard as a GT-R with only RWD? THAT is an engineering marvel. You need to give credit where credit is due.
When Doug Demuro has more subscribers than a truly high production channel like this, it just reminds me how shallow most UA-cam viewers are. You guys are an absolute gem. Reminds me of the good old Top Gear days. Love your content.
@@bdc7273 Ya but also Z06 is just a trim. If you are comparing top trims than it would go up against the NISMO GTR not the base model that they had here

Yeah and still the gt63s smoked the shit out of them in the rolling race if they wanted a good race they should bring the amg gtr they are afraid of the merc bc there is so much jdm kids here if they bringed the amg gtr it would smoked both of them in both of the races
@@carloshuerta4974 Guess again...no it's a 565 HP 2020 GT-R... don't believe me, no problem..hear for yourself @ 0:43 in the video. "The 2020 GT-R's standard twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 makes a mighty 565 horsepower..." Original GT-R had 480 HP...
@@mboiko The original GT-R was quoted by Nissan as having 470 horsepower, but that figure was grossly inaccurate. Several examples given to journalists when it came out were producing over 500 horsepower. And regardless, the design of the GT-R is 13 years old now. So is most of the technology in the car. So yes, it is effectively a 13 year old car.
@@JustSomeGuyWithNoMaidens Sure, as long as you allow me to rollup and kick all your asses in a Bugatti Veyron...which is "effectively" a 14-year-old car. We can all play that game. They ran a 2020 Nissan GT-R...Sorry but there's no degree of spin...that'll change that.
Mercedes AMG GT63S represents the ultimate 4 door performance sedan, while still upholding superb build quality, impressive luxury and top-notch technology. The Best or Nothing!
They’re all auto and half of them are all wheel drive and they all used a factory launch control. Driver means nothing on these cars they’re easy as hell to drive. We’re not talking about manual rear wheel drive cars here buddy.
Heroon Masur the AMG is a 10.8 1/4 car and the vette is a 11.4 at best bone stock. It would’ve lost by 4 car lengths if that Benz didn’t have a moron behind the wheel.
Ed J exactly and if he had putted a family car like it has foor door and the others has just two and still the amg smoked them at the rolling race but if he had a amg gtr it would smoke both of the car at both of the races
Exactly! Most of the guys are just Skyline GTR fans, nothing wrong about that, but if a sedan is performing very close to it, they'd turn their eyes away! I was also impressed with the way it sounded.. For me, I would choose the Corvette any day! It looks sick, and will always look BAD forever! The other ones will just look old..
To get GTR speed, Nissan employed AWD + twin turbos. That the c8 does neither to get nearly identical speed is IMPRESSIVE. And the price is just the cherry on top...
Can you *_please_* put annotations on the screen with the metric units for weight, torque, power... etc, so 95% of the world can understand what you're talking about?
@6:26. Damn! I didn’t even notice, but the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S HAS A SUNROOF TOO! Damn man I LOVE having the sunroof feature in my cars, trucks, whatever has it... YOU GOT MY ATTENTION! Damn... I might just go with the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S! It’s a Luxury Sedan, I can chill, and coast smooth down the Freeway. I can hit that button and the sunroof retracts! Feeling too damn good. And I got the horses under the hood just in case... all like what, over 600 of them? The car can MOVE! If money wasn’t really an issue (having $12,000,000 - $21,000,000) in my Bank Account. I’ll probably pull the trigger on that Mercedes-AMG GT63 S. And you GOTTA LOVE the sound of an AMG engine!
I agree~ It may not win against most cars in this day and age, but the fact that it can still keep up is still amazing to me :) I mean it has an older 6-speed dual clutch, but that mixed in with its AWD system is still a marvel of engineering even to this day.
That and ummm oh yeah and not putting 700+ hp on a car that can't gain traction of the line and just spins and spins.. That helped it launch well :). We‘ve all seen it on the Zr1
...when was the last time...? Each and every time the rwd was fitted to a rear/midengined car! All those cars like caymans Lotuses and rwd 911's punch way over their hp rating due to the advantage in weight over the driven axles. And with dual clutch gearboxes it allows the manufacturers to make the gearing in the first few gears even lower, as the gear changes don't loose any time in accelleration. (the bigger question here is: is the Corvette dual clutch a wet clutch system or a dry one? with a dry one it's going to wear out quick and over heat quicker when doing lauch control starts, the wet one is more expensive and heavier)
I didn't expect the first race's results. I def thought the AMG was gonna take it on launch, and especially top end sprint. Super close and exciting. That Corvette is really something else.
I need one of these shows. I won't say a single word. I'll just drive the car. Somebody will appreciate not waiting 45 minutes for 5 minutes of action.

Terence Dundee the GT-R is nowhere close to perfect, it holds up simply because it’s a fast car....
It's fast, but the car itself is outdated and overpriced.
@Formidable Legend123 Old fat people wont fit in the new Corvette. Go sit in one when you get the chance, the interior is really small and the seats are really tight. There's a reason why the wheel is so small, and it's not to save money like the Civic used to do.

@@fobbitoperator3620 I disagree look at the McLaren 720 s it's one of the fastest cars that's not a hyper car and it's rear wheel drive
Just for reference, in the US the base msrp for each of these cars are thus:
C8 Corvette: $59,995
Nissan GT-R: $113,540
MB AMG GT 63 S: $161,200
The races were pretty close regardless, especially between the C8 and GT-R, but context is important. The GT-R costs MORE than TWICE as much money as the Corvette, while the AMG costs not quite but almost THREE TIMES as much money as the Corvette. And of course both have significantly more power than the Corvette too. Personally I would have liked to see some lap times.
Thank you, I was going to look that up. More GTR fan boys need to see this and realize the corvette shouldn't even be in the same class, let alone competing with it at this price

That and ummm oh yeah and not putting 700+ hp on a car that can't gain traction of the line and just spins and spins.. That helped it launch well :). We‘ve all seen it on the Zr1
...when was the last time...? Each and every time the rwd was fitted to a rear/midengined car! All those cars like caymans Lotuses and rwd 911's punch way over their hp rating due to the advantage in weight over the driven axles. And with dual clutch gearboxes it allows the manufacturers to make the gearing in the first few gears even lower, as the gear changes don't loose any time in accelleration.
