  • @griffinfaulkner3514
    @griffinfaulkner3514 8 місяців тому +47

    Fun fact for you, the C7 actually has a slight rear weight bias, thanks to its transaxle layout and surprisingly light engine. As for the gears, it wouldn't surprise me if 4th was that long to help with the 1/4 mile time, though it seems more likely that it's just as short as they could make it while keeping the drop to 5th manageable. With the C6, you hit top speed in 5th, so it might be the same here, just with an extra overdrive gear in between.

    Love the C7. Had one in Z51 trim and 8 speed auto with the hopes the transmission would be a bit as good as the ZF units, but it was a disappointment. It worked great on upshits at WOT, but downshifts were slow and it overall sucked for daily driving. I really wish they would've gone with the 6MT instead of the odd 7 speed. Overall an amazing car that didn't get the best transmission choices.

    Best Vette ever IMO, the C7.... this one is perfect, great color combination, great supporting mods.... just needs a shorter final drive gearing (at least a 3.90 if not 4.10 compared to the stock, if Z51 package equipped, 3.42 with manual) and definitely a higher lift and duration camshaft....its so easy to gain an easy 100hp and shift the powerband up 1k RPM with a decent cam(and then a remap to lift the rev limiter higher to make use of the cam, could also grab a Fast intake and 103mm throttle body to round it out), hopefully these two are on his list for next upgrades.... awesome Vette otherwise 👌

    For me the "base" C7 is the most beautiful of all the corvettes to date, the red/black color combo makes it perfect. Switching to a rear-mid-engine layout with the C8 might have been a good decision regarding performance, but at the cost of giving up perfect proportions.

    Finally a C7 Video! Misha see if you can find a C7 Z06 to try out. Tighter ratios in the gearbox and more power, so you avoid that drop in torque between 3-4 shifts. This was a huge factor in why I didn’t opt for the C7 grand sport, despite its NA engine and lighter weight being better suited to track duty. Cheers carmrade

    always love a vette video! the gearing in these cars truly is insane, top of 2nd gear in my c6 is almost 90 mph. great for getting 30mpg out of it lol. the C7 automatic has better gearing but not the C6's and they're meh torque converter autos until you get to the C8. ideally you'd get an RPM transmission with ZR1 ratios and 4.10s but that's a lot of money and work

    • @jimhimesjr
      @jimhimesjr 8 місяців тому

      Had a C7 Z06 M7 and 2nd gear was the same way. That car was quick, I miss it since I sold it a few years ago. This video reminded me that even though it didn’t rev high it took time to get through the gears due to the ratios and the engine sounds great!

    • @RippinLyons

    "We can brake tomorrow and the car will stop yesterday." Impressive!
    I worked for a company that build automated factory equipment. I still remember the gauge cluster programming and test station we built that would watch 40 or 50 at a time to ensure the screens had no dead pixels or other faults. Just before shipping we got the final software for the gauges. When that Corvette logo appeared for the first time, we were all very surprised! We went on to make a bunch of machines for different parts of the interior, hood, the grille, etc. It was usually kinda hard to tell what vehicle stuff was for because there are so many supplier companies...except Ford. You always knew a Ford because there would be design changes every other week and then it was a mad dash to get the machines installed at the factory. Stuff for the Transit vans were in a state of build, scrap and remachine parts for a new design and repeat for 3 years. For the S550 mustang, they had to send workers to run production on our assembly floor to complete press and car show vehicles and for the Fiesta, one of our project managers wound up running the machine to assemble a bunch of bumpers which I, the purchasing, shipping and receiving agent, had to drive 8.5 hours to Canada to run some cars! 😂😂

    The C7s with the PD blowers solve the long gearing with torque. The NA cars enjoy a shorter rear end. My V8 swapped RX7 had the 4.10 and it was awesome.

      Corvettes have a staggering amount of torque, and are fairly light all things considered. Curb weight on a C7 Z51 with no mods is just under 3,450 pounds, and the LT1 produces as much peak torque as it does horsepower, meaning it's almost always in the power band.

    Misha, drive a Grand Sport or Z06 / wide body, even better! Also 4th gear is 1:1, very tall gearbox yes like you say but all you really need. Like having one cam shaft! Simple is better. Quantity has a quality of all its own, and that's a winning strategy right? You'll love it.
