I was passed a couple of months ago on the 407 in Toronto by a Ford GT and then spent 10 mins explaining to my passengers the significance of it. It is truly beautiful.
yup what i got from this is. the C8 Grandsport will be the one to buy. classic V8 muscle sound + z06 handling. and less z06 parts on the body which in this case is a good thing.
@@joseazambada3547 true but look at the stats. It weights about 300lbs less has 10 more hp but way more torque. It’s definitely a beautiful car but for the price your not getting much more performance. That’s all I’m saying.

How the GT looks (and sounds) in real life is hard to describe. I've never heard or seen anything as head turning as that car, not even close. The thing is incredible.
@ricktaylor3748 Normally, I would agree. But a blue GT was coming in the other direction on the I-465 bypass around Indy, and you could hear it that far away with your windows up. So, I rolled my window down real quick so I could hear it better, and the sound it made was just incredible.
You guys have surpassed all the other big reviewers on UA-cam in my opinion. Your comedy, commentary, and variety make it one of my favorite shows and I can't wait to see your next episode!
The new Ford gt kept as close to the original styling as they could, also there is only 1 gt colored in mystic chrome. The fact that Ford basically took a ecoboost truck engine or Mustang engine and made it run with other hyper-cars that have a v8, 10, 12, and even 16 cylinder engines is phenomenal.
@@jasondemuth4761 Ford never made an Aluminum block 5.4 in a truck.. Only the Ford GT & the 2011-2014 GT500 both named "Trinity".. the 07-09 GT500 was still cast iron as well and named "Condor".. Then in 2011 the "Coyote" was out for Mustang GT & F150 and was better than any small block Ford ever producted..
So this is our Christmas present? Lol thank you guys so much for everything, You guys do, honestly if you guys were in Florida I’ll let you review all of our cars because any video from you guys are just exceptionally well, thank you guys and happy holidays!!! 🎁

I absolutely adore the Ford GT, and I'm in no way a modern Chevy guy, but that C-8 Z06 is a piece of work...... the sound when Thomas is revving it at the start of the drag race...... insane.... and to think it's available at a fraction of the price of the GT, that's just mind blowing.
Agreed chevy has done something impressive and like a lot of Chevy corvette enthusiasts they are probably going to modify it. With some mods I think it can easily take the GT in a straight like and hang with it in the twists. You got an extra $200k to play with 😅
The GT500 hangs and in many instances beats the Z06 it’ll be very close on a road course but I doubt the Z06 will beat the GT500 because it tied with a Porsche Gt3rs. And it’s down on horsepower. The GT500 is $89k and the Z06 $250,000.

I first saw the GT at an auto show a few years back. Pictures do not do it justice, you have to see it up close. Unbelievably beautiful car. I have seen a few C8's on the road, and the same goes as it does for the GT, it looks so much better in person. I only wish Dodge still had the Viper ACR so each American brand is represented. Great job guys.
True, they all look far better in person. (Ive seen all 4 at the Chicago Auto Show).. But the Stingray might as well not even be related. The Z06/Z07 is on a whole different planet. Wider, WAYYY more aggressive, sexier & and far more gorgeous. The Z06 is what the c8 was always supposed to be. And imo its the better looking car vs the GT. The GT is awesome & more exotic.. But its more sleek & elegant, but I prefer the sharper angles, aggressive body lines/splitter/aero, and the chiseled look of the Z06. And for the price difference, (and the fact the Vette is the do-it-all daily, supercar, track beast), I think its the best car under $250k
I just realised this after watching this video repeatedly. 7:34 how the sun is reflected in the wheel and how the reflection is changed by the changing angle is a beautiful shot. Whoever did this should get an award. It's really good!
Viper is the best as it is a manual...the other 2 are appliances, only 30% as much fun.

This was glorious. What a great Christmas gift! I had the opportunity to drive a standard 458 a few years ago and I still dream about it regularly, I can only imagine driving all three of these machines on the same day!

Now take away the authentic engine sounds from these cars and envision a future of EVs. Oh, and with another 500-1000 pounds more weight to carry. The automotive future isn't looking so bright.
@@rlsedition Controversially, I believe that when EVs get really good and the technology surpasses that of combustion engines, they will be quieter, faster, and more luxurious nonetheless, perhaps cheaper when the batteries learn to work. But alas, I will forever miss the calming brrrrr of a midnight drive, or the rushing growl of a V8, but it's all in the past and you must look at the future eventually.
@@jackCollin403 EV technology is already on par (or better) than ICE powertrains; it's the batteries that have a long way to go technically. Right now they're not even close to the power storage of gasoline.
GTs are just garage queens at this point. I do feel the c8 z06 are gonna be no exception, the people who can afford them are gonna try to keep them in pristine condition
Chevy has impressed me with the statue of how well this Z06 performs. For 1/4 of the price it’s running with a 600K+ car which is insane!! The Ford GT is nice af too especially when it drops but at the end of the day I wouldn’t feel guilt driving the V like I would the GT
The $400k you save you can buy another in a different color. And still have some cash to modify them both to be crazy fast. The value of the C8 is just crazy.
To be fair, check fastest lap times, Hockenheim and whatever else they both have times on. The C7 Z06 and 458 Speciale are within a quarter second of each other. The 458 is faster at Red Bull Ring, the Z06 at Vairano and Nurburgring. Very comparable performance.
I would definitely buy one over let's say a Ferrari or Lambo if I had the money (actually, I would much rather use that money for better things like say contribute to making this world a better place)
With even 50-125K in custom performance parts on the Corvette, that could really make a huge difference in terms of power. The Ford GT is definitely the pinnacle of American Hypercar design.
It truly makes me happy to see you guys get the opportunity to drive cars like this. I’ve followed your channel for years, and it has been amazing to watch your channel grow to become what it is, but even more impressive is your level of humility and sincere gratitude. Watching you guys feels like watching 2 old friends live out their dream. Keep it up guys and thank you for allowing all of us to come along for the ride.
One thing I havent seen complemented on these videos is your music choices. I appreciate them! Glass, Satie, etc. What an outstanding channel in all respects!
The Z06 is a miracle in an age where V8's are being considered obsolete. It's crazy that this thing even exists. Love the review guys and Merry Christmas!
Considering how fast the new c8 z06 is, i really didn't expect the for GT can beat it, i had no idea that the ford GT is really that fast and don't blame me as the internet has almost no real runs for the car due to its limited units .. thank you guys for making this real! Keep it up ..cheers from GCC
There's a channel called dragtimes that had a Ford GT and he would race it often and would upload a bunch of videos of it obliterating other cars. It surprised me how fast it is. I believe he sold it only because how high it had appreciated in value.
@@truthkeeperfilms Studying chassis doesn’t mean they modeled the ZO6 after it. They used the Ferrari as a reference because GM has never built a mid engined flat plane crank set up before unlike when Ferrari actually uses GM(AC DELCO) suspension components.
ZR1, and the GT MK 4. I doubt they will be able to get their hands on the latter, I don’t know if anyone will for a long time, and they aren’t really in the same class. But still.
This new corvette is to the auto industry what the Nissan GTR was back when it was released to the states. For the money it was beating super cars everywhere and it prompted all the car manufacturers to step it up. I say this is a win for all of us regardless of the brand you like, because it’s only going to cause more passion and determination within the car engineering industry. And it will be us who benefit from it all. Awesome vid! 👍🏼
no... the gtr was a lot cheaper and had a lot more character. And even nowadays it still looks better while the nismo editions are still faster on track. The vette is just another overhyped american product. Nothing quite competes with american marketing teams.
In theory, even if they wont do it, GM can develop a big block pushrod V8 with even more HP than the new Z06. The already sell an aftermarket big block with over 700 HP on pump gas. Another prospect is hybrid power, with an additional 200HP+ to the front wheels.
@@terrellhatch8191 this is correct, that’s why I said it’s the Nissan GT-R of nowadays because that’s exactly what Nissan did before. They used a Porsche turbo as it’s benchmark and made it better.
I want to say thank you to those owners and Chevy for the press car. You guys are living the dream. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hope you guys have a happy and safe holidays.
You guys are a lot of fun... the fact that you're Canadian is more than just icing on the cake. You guys are truly funny and know your stuff about high-performance vehicles!
Thank Goodness for real car enthusiasts like this duo. I rarely watch videos twice however the production quality, honesty, and enthusiasm from this duo always pulls me back in for a recap. Great job guys and PLEASE keep it going!
This was an absolute treat of a video! I never comment on UA-cam, but this video truly moved me to do so! As I lay here, recovering from an injury, this brings much joy to my Day! Thank you to the whole team over at Throttle House!
That 458 always shocks me with its beauty, you don't forget it, your jaw drops everytime you lay eyes on it. Props to ferrari for producing this gorgeous piece of engineering
@@richardmead5969 LFA is overrated it sound trash, looks god AWFUL, and was completely overpriced. why buy a LFA when you could buy a 458 for half the price LOL Yes i just hate the LFA a ton
Not usually one to comment, but you both are the reason this episode (and every other episode) are amazing! This one in particular hit the feels somehow
This was a nice holiday treat. As a Ford GT owner I agree with James said. It really does feel special and the lack of sound deadening in the carbon tub truly makes it feel like a pure racecar for the street. It NEVER gets old. Mine is definitely a keeper. Unlike most owners, I drive it often so I constantly get the thrill they describe in this video. As for the Z06, it's great to see GM out-Ferrari Ferrari's current offerings. It gives me hope that the minority of enthusiasts at GM still have a voice.
@@BEBNC1 really? 812 line up does.... and if they are all hybrid and tt is for a reason and it is obvious. Tell me of one na car that can keep up with a baby 296gts. I am waiting..... dont say the z06 because its not even close. The truth is what Ferrari ia doing now Gm will do too in some years. U just cannot every year make faster cars with lower emissions without resorting to tt or hybrid, and Ferrari draws inspiration from f1 where these changes have been implemented. One should ask...if the 458 has been benchmarked for the experience amd the gt2 rs for performance why not a single review is comparing the z06 side to side with a turbo s (since the gt2 rs is out of production)? Maybe because it puts down 10s flat for the 1/4mile every single time, let alone winning roll races with ease.
@@j7b890 my man, not everything is about "keeping up". Speed is great, but some cars are bought because of the way they make you feel, not how fast they get you from A to B. NA cars, like the 458, have a FEEL and SOUND to them that forced induction cars to do not. Its why there was such a hissy fit when Porsche originally thought it might stop making the GT3, and why the current GT3's are selling for 2x MSRP. (even higher for the ones that come with a stick shift, which in no way keep up with the performance of the PDKs).
Everytime I see these videos I feel how happy these guys are and will stay doing what they love, I mean just imagine telling those stories to your children and grandchildren and them having access to the video and being able to come back in time and appreciate even bit of it, great job guys and keep up the good work.
Wow. Just, wow. These 3 cars on this track. This IS the perfect day. James may not have cried but I shed a tear just watching this episode. These cars are the stuff of dreams and legends and I for one am glad to have been alive when these cars came out. Time to watch this episode again. Well done Throttle House, well done.
@@jaymoto9820 Thanks, man. They say the only thing constant in life is change but right now, I am appreciating many of the automotive modern marvels of today. These are simply moving pieces of art that stir the soul. Sounds like you get it too.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!!!!! This is a hell of a video, congrats to all of you guys. It was a really special moment watching the entire 22+ minutes. But it's not just the edition, that was absolutly gorgeous, and i say it againg here, it is the passion and the emotions that you guys let us feel through the screen. So, once again, congratulations! And well, Happy Holidays! Cheers!
The coming TT RWD ZR1 should be amazing, the Zora with the additional electric driven front wheels should be bonkers in a straight line, but all of this will come with even more weight over the already slightly portly C8Z. While the C8Z is epic for what it is, I still feel the C6Z was the pinnacle in some ways, and certainly on the scale...
You Chevy fan girls don’t understand speed isn’t everything when building a car. The z06 is already heavy, making it heavier won’t make drive any better, especially when you already lack steering input.
We don’t have the C8 Z06 in Australia yet but having tracked the C8 a few times, it’s hugely impressive for a car that can be bought for under $200k (in Oz dollars).
The Corvette is an insane car for the price and I think people are starting to take notice. Lately (this spring), I've been seeing a lot more C8 and C8 ZO6s in my area.
What an absolutely epic trio here…and I can’t believe how phenomenal the 3.5L Ecoboost sounds both inside and out. Ford and GM world-class engineering on display. Breathtaking sports cars.
I'm sure this is a video many enthusiasts have been looking forward to. You guys are awesome for bringing this to us! Appreciate you for everything you do!
You guys are great! I always look forward for your bew uploads! Cars are pretty muc all i talk about, and have learned a lot from you to. Oh, and every time i hear "and I'm James" I can't help but smile! Keep up the good work! I dream about doing what you do, and i live my dream job through uou guys!
What an amazing collection of cars. If you had only captured James crying on camera, I would've cried with him. I appreciate the fact that you guys know the significance of the opportunity to drive each of these cars in a single day. It's the stuff dreams are made of. Congratulations to the both of you and the entire team.
Damn, those cars are drop-dead gorgeous! That GT is on a whole different level, a freaking masterpiece! Can't even put into words how amazing it looks and sounds. And the ZO6, man, it's impressive for the price. Chevy did a killer job! Props to both brands for giving us these beauties. Wish Dodge had their Viper ACR too, though. Anyway, love watching these reviews, these guys really know their stuff and make it fun! Can't wait to see what they do next! 🔥🚗
The Zora is going to be absolutely rapid, especially if those electric motors makes it awd, the zl1 will probably make like 850 hopefully supercharged with wider rear wheels and might keep up with the gt unless it can hook up then it’s gone
@@sharkfr-s supposedly the new corvette is reverse engineered from the 458 for me I’d take the Ford GT, but I guess I’ll stick to my mustang instead. It would take my whole check to insure it anyways lol

So true. Saw both generations of GT next to each other at a car show, both of them are in a league of their own when it comes to looks.
I just realised this after watching this video repeatedly.
7:34 how the sun is reflected in the wheel and how the reflection is changed by the changing angle is a beautiful shot. Whoever did this should get an award. It's really good!
I'm not a Ford fan by any means but man that Ford GT is absolutely gorgeous and insanely fast!
I think it's the best looking car by a land slide.
C8 sounds so much better though
So you is a ford fan..
@@thedumbconspirator4956 😆 🤣 😂
How can you be or not be a ‘Ford fan’? They’re a diverse company like Chevrolet
The way the Ford gt is described was beautiful. I could feel what you felt through verbiage. Very well put.... great video guys.
This might be the best video you guys have ever made. Conclusion was quite literally perfect. Awesome stuff
Viper is the best as it is a manual...the other 2 are appliances, only 30% as much fun. No manual option for the Z006 is beyond retarded. gargantuan GM screw up...also...
kina virus released to fk up the elections...millions dead, billion+ with heart issues...evil know no bounds...Godless people will always create hell !!!
This isa great video but I think the LFA video is the best
Stolen
The light circling on the wheel at 7:34. Amazing work!
Touche', I really appreciated that moment as well.
completely agree, that is damn sexy
Haha I was just about to comment the same thing about the shot at 9:14
Incredible overall cinematography as always 👌🏻
But those wheel shots are next level! 🔥
@@wafflesnfalafel1 the Viper ACR handled better than 2022 Ford GT.
That GT looks crazy good when it drops down in track mode.
Whenever I’m feeling low, I just watch you guys do your thing and I instantly feel better. Love you guys ❤
Ford GT is sublime, Z06 amazing as well.
@Damar Fadlan
Yes..... they will both tell em to "Shut your commie mouth!" Lol.
@damarfadlan9251no
The production quality of this episode is just unbelieveably good!
This was glorious. What a great Christmas gift! I had the opportunity to drive a standard 458 a few years ago and I still dream about it regularly, I can only imagine driving all three of these machines on the same day!

Now take away the authentic engine sounds from these cars and envision a future of EVs. Oh, and with another 500-1000 pounds more weight to carry. The automotive future isn't looking so bright.
Oh yes they're incredible to drive and if you get the opportunity to drive a 430 Scuderia don't pass on that.
@@rlsedition Controversially, I believe that when EVs get really good and the technology surpasses that of combustion engines, they will be quieter, faster, and more luxurious nonetheless, perhaps cheaper when the batteries learn to work. But alas, I will forever miss the calming brrrrr of a midnight drive, or the rushing growl of a V8, but it's all in the past and you must look at the future eventually.
@@jackCollin403 EV technology is already on par (or better) than ICE powertrains; it's the batteries that have a long way to go technically. Right now they're not even close to the power storage of gasoline.
He absolutely smashed him !!! Ford Gt is not just a car, its legendary category.
Can't ever get over how good this Gen Ford GT looks everytime I see one. It's so perfect.
Those buttresses are like the perfect pair of jeans on the most perfect pair of hips. Mmmmm😛
Absolutely
Did not expect to see this comparison happen. Simply because how little the newer GT's are seen. Great video.
It’s a shame we don’t hace more videos of it.
Yeah I would love to see it more but it's pretty difficult getting hold of a million dollar car
@@mustang8206 but you Bugatti pretty often, this is just a rare car to find
GTs are just garage queens at this point. I do feel the c8 z06 are gonna be no exception, the people who can afford them are gonna try to keep them in pristine condition
Chevy has impressed me with the statue of how well this Z06 performs. For 1/4 of the price it’s running with a 600K+ car which is insane!! The Ford GT is nice af too especially when it drops but at the end of the day I wouldn’t feel guilt driving the V like I would the GT
The $400k you save you can buy another in a different color. And still have some cash to modify them both to be crazy fast. The value of the C8 is just crazy.
To be fair, check fastest lap times, Hockenheim and whatever else they both have times on. The C7 Z06 and 458 Speciale are within a quarter second of each other. The 458 is faster at Red Bull Ring, the Z06 at Vairano and Nurburgring. Very comparable performance.
Im sorry but if I had the money I wouldn’t be looking at the V. I’d 100% put the 5.2 predator in the Ford gt
The GT isn't mass produced.. that's why it costs so much. Corvettes are a mass produced car.
@@sayyywhaaat3153 its also more in hypercar territory.
Having had the privilege to photograph and ride in a Ford GT... Its AMAZING. I have driven and rode in so many cars but that stands alone!
That ford is such an amazing looking car
Way better then that hideous Corvette that's for sure
@@frankcastle2045 but not a better price
@@frankcastle2045 it's nice but from a pricing perspective, the Corvette is way better.
I would definitely buy one over let's say a Ferrari or Lambo if I had the money (actually, I would much rather use that money for better things like say contribute to making this world a better place)
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ 😂
The Ford GT is purely immaculate. Thank you gentlemen for bringing it to us for our entertainment.
Beautiful camera work. That bumper cam on the GT, showing the sun reflecting off of the wheel during golden hour, simply stunning!
With even 50-125K in custom performance parts on the Corvette, that could really make a huge difference in terms of power.
The Ford GT is definitely the pinnacle of American Hypercar design.
It’s the pinnacle of Hyper car design the world over..
Maybe looks wise, but a V6 isn't a hypercar.
Since when is a V6 Twin Turbocharged engine not a Hypercar? Say that to Ferrari or Porsche.
@@yoshiboy3757 Since always. Supercar maybe, definitely not hypercar. You don't see V6s beating Koenigseggs and Bugattis
@@brunomatassini9879 Well I disagree. So I guess we’re at an impasse.
"This car doesn't go around corners, so much as it puts them in a chokehold, and taps them out." This car is so badass I love it!
Ferrari 458 Italia: HITORI DAKE NANTE ERABENAI YO!
Nice quote.
I’m so incredibly happy you guys got your hand in a new GT. I was cheering so loudly on that drag race. Beautiful job.
It truly makes me happy to see you guys get the opportunity to drive cars like this. I’ve followed your channel for years, and it has been amazing to watch your channel grow to become what it is, but even more impressive is your level of humility and sincere gratitude. Watching you guys feels like watching 2 old friends live out their dream. Keep it up guys and thank you for allowing all of us to come along for the ride.
One thing I havent seen complemented on these videos is your music choices. I appreciate them! Glass, Satie, etc. What an outstanding channel in all respects!
The Z06 is a miracle in an age where V8's are being considered obsolete. It's crazy that this thing even exists. Love the review guys and Merry Christmas!
Agreed, and I also have heard that the GT may get one with 7.3 Godzilla V8.
@@JS-nd1po It won't. That engine is far too big for it to fit. The Ecoboost was the only engine that could fit the teardrop shape.
Considering how fast the new c8 z06 is, i really didn't expect the for GT can beat it, i had no idea that the ford GT is really that fast and don't blame me as the internet has almost no real runs for the car due to its limited units .. thank you guys for making this real! Keep it up ..cheers from GCC
there are plenty of youtube videos of the GT racing or being driven to its limits. Drag Times just to name one had a yellow GT and ran/raced it hard.
Yeah it KILLED the demon from a dig on on pavement with heated tires...
There's a channel called dragtimes that had a Ford GT and he would race it often and would upload a bunch of videos of it obliterating other cars. It surprised me how fast it is. I believe he sold it only because how high it had appreciated in value.
The Ford GT originally couldn't keep up with the best ones in his area. They probably give it more juice in this version.
@@Dom2.0 GT 2022 still better than Ferrari 488.
I have been fawning over that Ford GT since I first saw it. One of my favorite designs ever.
15:55 iconic photo. Ford GT, Corvette Z06, and the Ferrari that GM based the C8 Corvette off of.
The ZO6 wasn’t based off a Ferrari. Chevy used a Ferrari to benchmark.
@ - And also dismantled the 458 and studied the chassis. You left out a big part.
@@truthkeeperfilms Studying chassis doesn’t mean they modeled the ZO6 after it. They used the Ferrari as a reference because GM has never built a mid engined flat plane crank set up before unlike when Ferrari actually uses GM(AC DELCO) suspension components.
Those are 2 very special cars. I'd love to see this revisited when the Corvette ZR1 comes out.
ZR1, and the GT MK 4. I doubt they will be able to get their hands on the latter, I don’t know if anyone will for a long time, and they aren’t really in the same class. But still.
😮😮
Merry Christmas guys! Love your content!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
This new corvette is to the auto industry what the Nissan GTR was back when it was released to the states. For the money it was beating super cars everywhere and it prompted all the car manufacturers to step it up. I say this is a win for all of us regardless of the brand you like, because it’s only going to cause more passion and determination within the car engineering industry. And it will be us who benefit from it all. Awesome vid! 👍🏼
no... the gtr was a lot cheaper and had a lot more character. And even nowadays it still looks better while the nismo editions are still faster on track. The vette is just another overhyped american product. Nothing quite competes with american marketing teams.
@A I CAP. The Corvette has been beating supercars, GTR included. Look at the Nismo lap times on track then look at the Z06.
In theory, even if they wont do it, GM can develop a big block pushrod V8 with even more HP than the new Z06. The already sell an aftermarket big block with over 700 HP on pump gas. Another prospect is hybrid power, with an additional 200HP+ to the front wheels.
@@terrellhatch8191 this is correct, that’s why I said it’s the Nissan GT-R of nowadays because that’s exactly what Nissan did before. They used a Porsche turbo as it’s benchmark and made it better.
This was an AMAZING video full of epic SMACKDOWNS! It took me back to the beginning of your channel and the days of ZX10 VS BMW
That Ford GT is a work of art. Just gorgeous!!
Supercharge the vette.
Meh.
@@rodneymurphy3900 super charge it, it's just a cheap car for a man with little money
@@rodneymurphy3900 You can throw all the power you want at it, but it still won't beat the GT on the road course.
@@BruceDragon-sf1tryet your poor ass probably couldn’t afford it 💀 🤣
The Vette looks really nice, but to me the GT is gorgeous.
The vettes color killed the appearance, they should've thrown that gallon away......LOL
@@ronschafer4533 c8 is way to boxy looking not pretty
@@ronschafer4533 that blue is gorgeous

I want to say thank you to those owners and Chevy for the press car. You guys are living the dream. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hope you guys have a happy and safe holidays.
Living the dream by selling out to china
Sniff, sniff... the end almost made me cry... Keep up your good work!!!
You guys are a lot of fun... the fact that you're Canadian is more than just icing on the cake. You guys are truly funny and know your stuff about high-performance vehicles!
Thank Goodness for real car enthusiasts like this duo. I rarely watch videos twice however the production quality, honesty, and enthusiasm from this duo always pulls me back in for a recap. Great job guys and PLEASE keep it going!
This was an absolute treat of a video! I never comment on UA-cam, but this video truly moved me to do so! As I lay here, recovering from an injury, this brings much joy to my Day! Thank you to the whole team over at Throttle House!
That GT might just be up in my top 5 personal all time favorites! It’s TOO good!
That 458 always shocks me with its beauty, you don't forget it, your jaw drops everytime you lay eyes on it.
Props to ferrari for producing this gorgeous piece of engineering
Yeah it’s a masterpiece
LFA does it for me
@@richardmead5969 LFA is overrated it sound trash, looks god AWFUL, and was completely overpriced. why buy a LFA when you could buy a 458 for half the price LOL
Yes i just hate the LFA a ton
@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 this has to be one the the most childish comments I've even read on UA-cam
Nice american 458
Not usually one to comment, but you both are the reason this episode (and every other episode) are amazing! This one in particular hit the feels somehow
This was a nice holiday treat. As a Ford GT owner I agree with James said. It really does feel special and the lack of sound deadening in the carbon tub truly makes it feel like a pure racecar for the street. It NEVER gets old. Mine is definitely a keeper. Unlike most owners, I drive it often so I constantly get the thrill they describe in this video. As for the Z06, it's great to see GM out-Ferrari Ferrari's current offerings. It gives me hope that the minority of enthusiasts at GM still have a voice.
current offerings? :)) the 458 came out 13 years ago! its 3 gen backwards.
Well said!
@@j7b890 Ferrari has no NA offerings. That's the point. The Z06 is doing what Ferrari's are known for. Which is why so many covet the 458.
@@BEBNC1 really? 812 line up does.... and if they are all hybrid and tt is for a reason and it is obvious. Tell me of one na car that can keep up with a baby 296gts. I am waiting..... dont say the z06 because its not even close. The truth is what Ferrari ia doing now Gm will do too in some years. U just cannot every year make faster cars with lower emissions without resorting to tt or hybrid, and Ferrari draws inspiration from f1 where these changes have been implemented. One should ask...if the 458 has been benchmarked for the experience amd the gt2 rs for performance why not a single review is comparing the z06 side to side with a turbo s (since the gt2 rs is out of production)? Maybe because it puts down 10s flat for the 1/4mile every single time, let alone winning roll races with ease.
@@j7b890 my man, not everything is about "keeping up". Speed is great, but some cars are bought because of the way they make you feel, not how fast they get you from A to B. NA cars, like the 458, have a FEEL and SOUND to them that forced induction cars to do not. Its why there was such a hissy fit when Porsche originally thought it might stop making the GT3, and why the current GT3's are selling for 2x MSRP. (even higher for the ones that come with a stick shift, which in no way keep up with the performance of the PDKs).
9:12 what the heck this is such a good looking shot. The sunlight on the wheel as you come around the corner, a shrinking halo that gets smothered
Everytime I see these videos I feel how happy these guys are and will stay doing what they love, I mean just imagine telling those stories to your children and grandchildren and them having access to the video and being able to come back in time and appreciate even bit of it, great job guys and keep up the good work.
Wow. Just, wow. These 3 cars on this track. This IS the perfect day. James may not have cried but I shed a tear just watching this episode. These cars are the stuff of dreams and legends and I for one am glad to have been alive when these cars came out. Time to watch this episode again. Well done Throttle House, well done.
Well said my friend!
@@jaymoto9820 Thanks, man. They say the only thing constant in life is change but right now, I am appreciating many of the automotive modern marvels of today. These are simply moving pieces of art that stir the soul. Sounds like you get it too.
This is amazing. I wanted to see a Ford GT and C8Z06 comparison so badly !!! Nice video as always !!!!!
Truly a amazing video guys! Seriously well done. I’ve been watching you guys for years now and this is right at the top, BRAVO
The shots of the Ford were stunning especially loved the shot at 9:16
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!!!!! This is a hell of a video, congrats to all of you guys. It was a really special moment watching the entire 22+ minutes. But it's not just the edition, that was absolutly gorgeous, and i say it againg here, it is the passion and the emotions that you guys let us feel through the screen. So, once again, congratulations!
And well, Happy Holidays! Cheers!
Can we just say WOW to both vehicles way to go both Chevy and Ford for two beautiful machines 🤘
No doubt about that. Both PHENOMENAL cars.
Chevy maybe but the GT is built my a Canadian racing company. Ford just bought it and slapped their name on it. NOT made by Ford.
@@fallenseraph5Vsemantics
Love you guys and what you do!
Please never stop!
Happy holidays to your whole team! You guys are amazing and it's so great to see how far you've come
I can’t even imagine what the ZR1 and Zora are going to be like 🤤
Mid 9’s
@Navy Patriot101 both are RWD
The coming TT RWD ZR1 should be amazing, the Zora with the additional electric driven front wheels should be bonkers in a straight line, but all of this will come with even more weight over the already slightly portly C8Z. While the C8Z is epic for what it is, I still feel the C6Z was the pinnacle in some ways, and certainly on the scale...
@@ssoffshore5111 that’s true. Check my channel for plenty C6Z content!
You Chevy fan girls don’t understand speed isn’t everything when building a car. The z06 is already heavy, making it heavier won’t make drive any better, especially when you already lack steering input.
The Ford GT is like the SR-71 Blackbird. Timeless in beauty and design.
Perfect example.
The only difference is that the Blackbird only married men could fly, this car only single men can afford haha
Great job Boys. I still enjoy your video after watching it more than 10 times!
Big Willow is a great track. The back sweeper into turn 9 into the long straight into turn 1 is epic. Hammer down.
ok
ok
I lost my virginity between the back sweeper into turn 9 into the long straight into turn 1 with the hammer down
That 458 is such a Legend. Even today, nothing sounds like it.
The day you guys must have had filming this is what dreams are made of!
We don’t have the C8 Z06 in Australia yet but having tracked the C8 a few times, it’s hugely impressive for a car that can be bought for under $200k (in Oz dollars).
The Corvette is an insane car for the price and I think people are starting to take notice. Lately (this spring), I've been seeing a lot more C8 and C8 ZO6s in my area.
That's because it's more affordable, not because it's insane 😂😂
The more people buy, the more options I'll have when it finally makes sense to get it used.
@@elsieteenel303did you miss the “for the price” part or what?
Starting to take notice?
The corvette has been known for this for decades.
U see more cuz its a poor mans sports car.
What an absolutely epic trio here…and I can’t believe how phenomenal the 3.5L Ecoboost sounds both inside and out. Ford and GM world-class engineering on display. Breathtaking sports cars.
I was jus thinkin the same.
I'm sure this is a video many enthusiasts have been looking forward to. You guys are awesome for bringing this to us! Appreciate you for everything you do!
You guys are great! I always look forward for your bew uploads! Cars are pretty muc all i talk about, and have learned a lot from you to. Oh, and every time i hear "and I'm James" I can't help but smile! Keep up the good work! I dream about doing what you do, and i live my dream job through uou guys!
Love the video, great work. I wish Randy Pobst was able to set a lap with all three.
Facts
or even the stig
You guys are just killing it! What an amazing treat of a video. TY
What an amazing collection of cars. If you had only captured James crying on camera, I would've cried with him. I appreciate the fact that you guys know the significance of the opportunity to drive each of these cars in a single day. It's the stuff dreams are made of. Congratulations to the both of you and the entire team.
Damn, those cars are drop-dead gorgeous! That GT is on a whole different level, a freaking masterpiece! Can't even put into words how amazing it looks and sounds. And the ZO6, man, it's impressive for the price. Chevy did a killer job! Props to both brands for giving us these beauties. Wish Dodge had their Viper ACR too, though. Anyway, love watching these reviews, these guys really know their stuff and make it fun! Can't wait to see what they do next! 🔥🚗
That’s insane now imagine how fast the zr1 or the Zora is going to be!
E-Ray ⚡🇺🇲
I'm extremely happy to see how far they go with those vehicles. I hope they go for the Ford gt/gtb/sf90
The Zora is going to be absolutely rapid, especially if those electric motors makes it awd, the zl1 will probably make like 850 hopefully supercharged with wider rear wheels and might keep up with the gt unless it can hook up then it’s gone
Not fast enough to beat the Tesla Roadster
@@Jimmyxsx if it will ever come out 😂😂😂
Love this video. Great demonstration of two fantastic American icons.
Not all American all the suspension is from multimatic in Canada just saying
The beauty of the Ford GT is lterally bringing tears to my eyes.
Really love what the team behind the corvette finally were able to bring us.
It puts corners in a choke hold and taps them out great line guys awesome review 👍🏽😁

Insane that the race is that close. Both cars are incredible. What a time to be alive.
