    First off, as an engineer I appreciate the type of depth you guys get into. The E-ray has been a car I'm rather interested in, I have been looking at the nsx, but the lack of tunablity and the v6 are my only draw backs (yes I've driven them). This c8 being a v8 is so appealing.

    • @ribbiel
      @ribbiel Рік тому +7

      My personal problem specifically with the NSX is how I feel Honda didn't spend the time to make the car significantly unique. I understand their approach was to make the car extremely approachable and daily driveable, but I've spent time in the NSX and it doesn't give me the "fizz" as Clarkson would say like the original NSX or S2000. I'll absolutely agree that the visibility and driving position is fantastic, but beyond that I have very little interest at it's price point.
      The Z06 E-Ray (obviously newer) is more entertaining on a drivability standpoint, but also better tuned to give you the fun with approachability. Plus, it helps that cockpit is more bespoke than the NSX.

    Gentlemen,
    The quality and craftsmanship of your videos just continues to surpass your previous excellent efforts. I worry at some point you'll set such a high standard it will be impossible to maintain it video after video, and we spoiled viewers will complain that you released a mere 9.84/10 production instead of a 9.93/10.
    Until that day happens, my highest compliments on continuing to push the limits of your art.

And also the price is outstanding!! 107 msrp loaded up nicely for 125k that’s just crazy!! 655hp and awd just for for example the Acura nsx was 220 with mark ups grant it this c8 eray will probably be 15k mark up and if ordered one dealers are not marking these up at all!!

    Your description of the launch sounds exactly how my GT-R felt. It was something that I felt made the launches feel less visceral. Having been in a cars with lots of RWD torque monsters, the take off felt less “pinned to your seat” with AWD. Even at full bolt on performance, the effect never changed, just the launch/ quarter mile times.

    This is probably the best street Corvette ever...it perfectly balances the street character the C8 has while giving you the speed performance of the ZO6 with likely lower maintenance costs. The performance is just insane...0-60 in 2.2 seconds, 10's at almost 130 mph in the 1/4 mile, what appears to be instant torque and response, and I love how they say the electric motor smooths out the dual clutch trans and makes it all instant.

    For many people this will be the best Corvette . Certainly the best as a daily driver car that will be used all year and used as both transportation and fun . I would like to see performance tests with regular drivers with some comptency and balls and see if they go faster in E-Ray then Z-06 . Despite the weight I bet a fair amount of people would go faster in some scenarios , many scenarios in fact . A great driver in warm weather will enjoy Z0-6 more but as a street car for many people this will be best and of course has the party trick of stupid straighline acceleration that is more consistent .
    I might miss the exotic engine sound but I think this is still too much car for street use but a better chance of pushing it more often , not waiting for the tires to get to temp and less butt pucker in less then perfect weather and ENDLESS DRIFTING in winter to me adds back any fun I would lose . Snow driving to me is the most fun you can have with a street car having slip angle all you want at lower speed is too much fun . Althouggh I dont know if there are actual snow tires for a car like this . Something equivalent to blizzaks would be wild .

    I like the concept a lot. I feel like chevrolet has something special here with the platform, and I like the no compromises hybrid approach. I could also imagine this kind of layout could be awesome for homologation purposes since there are now a variety of weights, power levels, and drive layouts for any kind of racing, even the neo-LM hybrid, or even fully electric racing. With that said, I could see the absolutely staggering potential (pun intended i suppose) of using this concept for a gran sport E, or ZR-E, or even a Z07E pack type of machine. Supercharged V8 in the back, bias the drive with regen up front, and let thy battery be thy ballast. I would be remissed if i did not see the potential of an e-ray type layout with a lighter powertrain in the rear for WEC duty. There is a 4cyl that looks to have a lot of potential in the silverado that is turbocharged, and also the V6 from the camaros or even the cadillacs. They have only begun to scratch the surface with the ceiling in this car working with the chassis and powertrain. I cant wait to see where they go with these next.
