Hahah so true peeps are gonna trade their Mustangs, camaro,challengers and other mid engine cars in cause of the price tag on the vette... Game Changer
Matt Farah (@thesmokingtire) once said in a Corvette C7 track one-take that the car was so fast he didn't feel comfortable taking a hand off the wheel to change gears, so he did the one-take in an automatic corvette instead. So if Matt of all people couldn't handle a manual Vette...
Michael Scotty Kilmer of all people and also VINWIKI made a really good video about it a while ago. Long story short, most manual drivers are die hard actual drivers, and they usually buy used. Most initial buyers are just filthy casuals who don’t know stick and only buy auto. So it creates a big void in the secondary market. Manuals are popular with used buyers, aka, not the guys paying the Manufacturer directly. The demand for a manual LP640 is pretty damn high whereas initial sales only accounted for less than 7%. At least we still got manual Civic SI’s 😂 🤷♂️
@@cinialvespow1054 The standard GT-R starts at 105k I believe. The NISMO model is over 200k, so the GT-R is 100% a supercar in both performance and price. The C8 Corvette has similar, if not better performance for nearly half the price... which is batshit crazy lol. 0-60 in 2.8s in a 60k car lmao!!
Not only will this dominate the sports/base supercar market, it will bring down the value of other desirable cars as well so it's a win win for all of us
GM: we’re making a mid engine corvette Everyone: Wow it’s finally happening Ford: Hey guys look over here we’re making an electric crossover SUV and calling it a Mustang Everyone: :|
it's not gunna be 60 grand for fucks sakes. just like the 35,000 Tesla, ur never gunna get that model, they dont make it. the ones ur going to be buying is 50 to 60 grand. cuz they dont option it that way. same with the Corvette, it's prolly going to be 70 to 80 grand, and then markup cuz a hyped up car, so like 90 to 100 grand is prolly what ur going to buy it for, but actual market price will be 70 or 75 grand
People are so mad that a $60k car is competing with their european hypercars and even has a faster acceleration than a lot of them, now they're grasping at straws and being like "BUT ITS NOT FASTER AND USES CHEAPER MATERIALS THAN THIS $2.3 MILLION DOLLAR FERARRI HYPERCAR!!!! TAKE THAT AMERICA!!!!"
The GT500 is a monster in its own right with a dedicated fanbase and it's sold in limited quantities. The thing sells itself. I don't even like the new mustang design but the GT500 is one of the best cars I've ever seen.
@@Natanael.Aguillon You realize your comparing a base model vette to a top of the line mustang right? Just wait till the z06/zr1 comes out. I have a good feeling it will be like 800bhp 2.6sec~ 0-60 stock.
I was trying to find something to say, but I'm really speechless. Absolutely impressed. Starting at $55k, not including the huge dealer markup it's going to have, may well make it the best looking, best handling,, and fastest, bang for your buck EVER. That's coming from a diehard Ford guy.
@@OriginaIJuke people are acting like its actually gonna be 60k at the dealer. Itll be 70k no options at least. And thatll probably mean no radio etc. Theres just no way
Look up Coughlin Chevrolet. Particularly Rick "Corvette" Conti.. He does videos on youtube about how other dealerships mark up the prices.. He sells for MSRP.. Go talk to him.
@@DamonBMW Yeah, don't care. We'll be able to buy used one in 5 years or so for $25k!!! This is Chevy we are talking about, they are going to make ten of thousands of these fuckers. They'll drop in value like every of mass produced American car and I love it!
Damon Lol, if it’s anything like the last corvette then dealers selling them for anything over MSRP will go under. Chevy made a lot of C7 corvettes, dealers never had a short supply of them either. Maybe not at first but within 6 months they will be MSRP or under.
Rich guys for vettes? Naw. It's your 72 year old grandfather that can't push a clutch in anymore. The reason I never liked the C5. It was made for geriatric quetips.
I'll probably never buy a car new. I let the rich guys buy the newest, fastest sports cars, then let them eat the depreciation. It's a curse that the second hand market wants the manual but the second hand market doesn't get to spec out the car. While I was typing this I thought to myself "Why don't rich guys buy manual transmissions?" "They would sell for more on the second hand market." "Manuals would be such a good investment." As if they give AF about how much they will sell it for! If they can afford a super car then 5 years later they can afford another one without selling/trading. It's no big deal for them.
This is a bit stupid. There are dirt-cheap cars that have mid-engine layouts. Likt the Toyota MR2 for example. But most of the time, when a manufacturer decides to go Mid-Engine, they usually go with a more expensive setup since the car will probably either be a Supercar, or very similar to a supercar. This car, for the low price is obviously a VERY VERY considerable choice for future buyers. If it does indeed perform well too. But let's be honest. I don't see any real new tech in this car. That is what you usually pay in expensive cars. Either NEW tech never used before, or hand-made parts, or extreme quality parts.
@John Gilroy I disagree. I think people shopping the C8 are looking for supercar, mid-engine performance at a discount. People shopping the Supra are probably interested in it's aftermarket potential.
The C7 was finally good enough for me to grab one... and so far a year later and 4 track days = zero regrets. Given what they have done with the C8 here there are no more excuses. Congrats to Tadge and the team, impressive results.
Not everyone theres plenty of people who have tested the car and they love it. The only ones i see complaining r those who haven't driving the new supra
@@karywho No. Just anyone with a half a brain who realizes it's a re-badged BMW Z4. There's nothing innovative or special about the new Supra. It's slightly faster than a Z4. Cool.
There are a few cheap as well like Lotus exige, Alfa Romeo 4c and Renault A110 which are better through the corners because they are lightweight but the C8 is at another level. It is still not heavy, it has a proper racing engine, it looks better, it has better drivetrain and braking system.
@@inox1ck 300hp out of 1.8l ? Suckin' on gas when you floor it but o h b o I that turbo kick Also it will most likely break because that's wayyyy to much HP for such a small engine
@@Timochat_ If you're talking about the Alpine A110 engine, then you are mistaken. Europeans, instead of just making shit bigger when they wanted more power, they just made what they had, better. While Americans have become better att making engines in recent years, it wasn't that long ago that Europeans were laughing their asses off when Americans put big ass V8 into cars and got barely 200hp out of them. Something European manufacturers could get with an engine half its size. And believe me when I say that Renault know how to get power from small engines. Not only do they have extensive experience from Rally working on small engines with power out the ass. But Renault have a 1.6l engine that produces well over 800hp that they race in F1. They probably know more about building powerful small engines then North America combined.
The NSX wasn't just an affordable mid-engine super car, it was about innovation as well. Just like the new NSX is about innovation with its hybrid engine. And having actually ridden in an NSX, it is beyond amazing. Frankly, the only ones bitching about the NSX are those wanking off to supercars online or those who have built what the NSX was up in their head to something it could never be.
Come on, this is Chevrolet. They understand performance functionality, unlike Honda and Toyota. At least cut out the vents even if they don't lead to anything.

As someone who is now in their mid 30s, owns a turbo MKIV supra and has NEVER had any real interest in corvettes I commend GM. You made a game changer that's something unique and beautiful. Waiting on the Z06 but you got yourself a new fan and buyer.
This car is so conversational. I am not a vet guy. In fact i am a JDM fanboy and Muscle fan boy. Aside from the 1960s C3 vet, this is the first vet I would consider buying could I afford it. Its crazy that this car changed my mind so easily. Thanks to Donut for all the great content. You videos are like manuel transmissions, just don't stop making them.
@@csmith6583 they are ok, still plasticy imo. even my 04 BMW feels better than the C7 interior. But looking at this C8 interior, god damn... that's LEAPS and BOUNDS better.
Dude, I literally had to take the time to log in just to comment how funny your videos are, they are getting funnier and funnier too, its hilarious how you edit everything, good job man LOL!!
@@Metroidfreek Economics. The GTR was a "return to form" supercar that was released during a major recession. They had to scrounge up demand by offering it at a freakish price. It eventually ballooned in price as the economy got better and the need to actually pay for all the R&D that went into the car had to be made. I reckon they still haven't gotten anywhere close to breaking even, which is exactly why we see a largely unchanged GTR to this day. Same with the 370z.
@Joe H Possibly not at first. It's a new car. Obviously there are gonna be kinks to work out. But in the end it should be reliable. Not as much as the new supra tho. Lol
Everyone’s acting like Chevy is the first to do this, toyota did this in the 80’s and 90’s with the aw11 and SW20 MR2. Which also gave other manufacturers a run for their as it out performed many.
@@robertculpepper1508 The Corvette plant has built 40-50,000 Vettes PER YEAR. You can bet GM is going to push that number this year. Thats 1,000 per week. There will be NO SHORTAGES, and "ALLOCATIONS" are meaningless. By Christmas of this year C8's will be on every lot, AS INVENTORY and WITHOUT MARKUPS
Actually people have already broke the C8 into deep 10s and I believe 9s in the 1/4 mile. People have already put nitrous kits on them and (dare I say the name to this shitty company) Hennessy Performance has equipped the C8 with a twin turbo setup and streetspeed717 is also helping with R&D on aftermarket exhaust by sending his exhaust to a high end performance muffler manufacturer. The ZR1 package is rumored to come with a twin turbo setup pushing north of 900hp to the crank but it’ll also have a 5.5L DOHC (rumors on the turbo and power #’s) so we will just have to see what else GM has hidden up their sleeve
@@obliviondio it might be hard to access every important part of the drivetrain in mid engine car. But of course these C 8 Vette buyer would insurance their car
@@huseinamin8903 You are referring to a warranty not insurance. Insurance covers liability and comprehensive. In a mechanics viewpoint, these are nightmares to work on. Car owners could care less since they won't be doing any work on it themselves.
@@obliviondio that's the point right, push the troublesome part to others. "Wallet moving/talking" Ofc things will be different if one work one own's project.

I am watching this in heaven right now, the internet is free up here also God told me Donut Media has a very special place in his heart
@@Oat_meal_YT Then it's "OMG IS THAT A FERRARI CORVETTE?! MY FRIENDS DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN WHEN I SAID THAT CHEVY DOESN'T MAKE IT." To be honest, I don't really think this is a concern at all. We've been dealing with this type of stuff for decades, now. What is someone calling another car a "Ferrari" going to do, blow up the fuckin world?
Supercar for me is anything that goes above 200mph in stock form.. over 215 is Hypercar.. like the La Ferrari / Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 are Hypercars.
@Salty Kraken it's flaws are gonna emerge soon and there's gonna be plenty, that's for sure. There's a reason why this is only 60K and it's not good built quality.
@@bigeric8334 Yeah, but the fact that car people like it, makes it even better. Like Non-car guys think you're rich Car guys think you have taste It's a win-win
Actually 25 years ago the NSX cost more than this new base corvette does today! The NSX was expensive imo and not super car performance. Had a mid engine but that engine was a low torque V6 not a high revving V12
ztwntyn8 you don’t need a high reving v12 to be a super car and if it didn’t have the performance why did it make Ferrari eat shit? Dawg the new ford GT has a 6 cylinder eco boost. U have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@ztwntyn8 but you can tinker around with the car, this is what Honda want. A supercar that you can personalize, you can put turbochargers and/or superchargers pretty easy on the engine, and there's a fuckton of aftermarket for the car. And that is why i said the C8 is more NSX than the new NSX
Many of us can agree that James really one of the few who made us fall in love with Donut Media over the years he been on the show. KEEP ON DOING GREAT THINGS JAMES
Not tryna be a hater on the Supra but at least Chevy's interior is unique and like a cockpit, something the Supra didn't do and just stole BMW interior parts. Glad Chevy did this for the price point. Really hope other manufacturers start stepping up on creating unique inexpensive cars again instead of becoming more and more expensive. Edit: oh you said that in the video lmao
You guys ARE aware that BMW/Toyota was a joint project right? The Z4/Supra? ofcourse theres similarities, but yeah... it sucks. Supra prestige is gone.
@@corneliusbongle1551 yeah it's kinda unfortunate that it was a joint project to save costs but ended up being an expensive let down. Still a good car tho
@@900108Chale Ya still gotta do something about the engine. I know a design for making pushrod-8s bitchin' again by full-linking the valves and thus making for desmo.

@@diltd3989 I can argue with it on a running cost and technical rationality and development basis. The problem with the GTs engine for instance is sacrificing some layout stuff for compactness and so forth. An I6 is always better in terms of potential pound for pound whatever you do to things, but would have required a bit too much unconventional thought for a big brand. Mark that I'm not saying that the engine they did knock up is bad. It certainly isn't. I'm saying however that there is plenty of room for optimization...
If you didnt tell him what it was and didn't have a name or badge on it, he'd say it's the best car in the world for the money. But once he finds out it's just another Chevy...trash.
Toyota: "But we designed it to be finished by the customer! It has such great cooling we had to reduce it! And we left bolt holes for the customer to add stiffening bars, but the chassis is TOO STIFF that we had to reduce rigidity. Also the Automatic is the best transmission on the planet. Oh and most important, these professional simulated vents and scoops are only for serious race car engineers to modify into real vents and scoops"
I whole heartedly believe Toyota made the new Supra specifically so people would swap Supra 2JZs into them. The speakers in the car should play that Zelda treasure chest finding noise when you finally start a swapped 2J in the new Supra for the first time. Daigo Saito immediately swapped a 2J into his lol That thing is pretty sick.
@@JT-yz4rj I think GM doesn't care about Japan much in terms of the C8, it's Europe that they are trying to invade. Watch out 911, I think that's the C8's real competitor. Both are track monsters, both have decent interiors (911 used to be crap really) and now both will be looked at in the same light.

The GT500 is a monster in its own right with a dedicated fanbase and it's sold in limited quantities. The thing sells itself. I don't even like the new mustang design but the GT500 is one of the best cars I've ever seen.
Yeah I have owned 4 Mustangs and I so wish I was able to get this Corvette it's so nice!
@@Natanael.Aguillon You realize your comparing a base model vette to a top of the line mustang right? Just wait till the z06/zr1 comes out. I have a good feeling it will be like 800bhp 2.6sec~ 0-60 stock.

timtimzi ni but unlike the Supra the markup won’t be insanely high, just look at the past corvette c7 for example
It’s low priced for a reason. Something about it scares me
Dealer mark up will be outrageous.
@@RootBeerGMT I got an MSRP guarantee when I put mine on reserve.
I was trying to find something to say, but I'm really speechless. Absolutely impressed. Starting at $55k, not including the huge dealer markup it's going to have, may well make it the best looking, best handling,, and fastest, bang for your buck EVER. That's coming from a diehard Ford guy.
It wont be hard to find a dealer selling these for msrp. Hell if you time it right you could probably get one for invoice.
@@OriginaIJuke people are acting like its actually gonna be 60k at the dealer. Itll be 70k no options at least. And thatll probably mean no radio etc. Theres just no way
Look up Coughlin Chevrolet. Particularly Rick "Corvette" Conti.. He does videos on youtube about how other dealerships mark up the prices.. He sells for MSRP.. Go talk to him.
@@DamonBMW Yeah, don't care. We'll be able to buy used one in 5 years or so for $25k!!! This is Chevy we are talking about, they are going to make ten of thousands of these fuckers. They'll drop in value like every of mass produced American car and I love it!
Damon Lol, if it’s anything like the last corvette then dealers selling them for anything over MSRP will go under. Chevy made a lot of C7 corvettes, dealers never had a short supply of them either. Maybe not at first but within 6 months they will be MSRP or under.

"Apparently only 15% of C7 vettes were sold in manual."
"Who buys super cars? Rich guys."
Welp, there you go.
Rich guys for vettes? Naw. It's your 72 year old grandfather that can't push a clutch in anymore. The reason I never liked the C5. It was made for geriatric quetips.
I'll probably never buy a car new. I let the rich guys buy the newest, fastest sports cars, then let them eat the depreciation. It's a curse that the second hand market wants the manual but the second hand market doesn't get to spec out the car.
While I was typing this I thought to myself "Why don't rich guys buy manual transmissions?" "They would sell for more on the second hand market." "Manuals would be such a good investment." As if they give AF about how much they will sell it for! If they can afford a super car then 5 years later they can afford another one without selling/trading. It's no big deal for them.
Nah vetts are the poor man’s sports car in a lot of ways.

This is a bit stupid.
There are dirt-cheap cars that have mid-engine layouts.
Likt the Toyota MR2 for example.
But most of the time, when a manufacturer decides to go Mid-Engine, they usually go with a more expensive setup since the car will probably either be a Supercar, or very similar to a supercar.
This car, for the low price is obviously a VERY VERY considerable choice for future buyers. If it does indeed perform well too.
But let's be honest. I don't see any real new tech in this car.
That is what you usually pay in expensive cars.
Either NEW tech never used before, or hand-made parts, or extreme quality parts.

@John Gilroy I disagree. I think people shopping the C8 are looking for supercar, mid-engine performance at a discount. People shopping the Supra are probably interested in it's aftermarket potential.
@John Gilroy agreed. Most Mkiv owners hate the zupra, they all want a c8 now.
I never thought GM would do anything that impressed me, the c7 vette impressed me but the c8 is mind blowing
Troy Buhay c7 makes you consider the vette.. c8 makes you **want** one

@@jotveerkhangura4109 what does the movie being American have to do with anything.
an affordable mid engine car
maybe the ns-x that we have been expected
There are a few cheap as well like Lotus exige, Alfa Romeo 4c and Renault A110 which are better through the corners because they are lightweight but the C8 is at another level. It is still not heavy, it has a proper racing engine, it looks better, it has better drivetrain and braking system.
@@inox1ck 300hp out of 1.8l ?
Suckin' on gas when you floor it but o h b o I that turbo kick
Also it will most likely break because that's wayyyy to much HP for such a small engine
@@Timochat_ If you're talking about the Alpine A110 engine, then you are mistaken.
Europeans, instead of just making shit bigger when they wanted more power, they just made what they had, better.
While Americans have become better att making engines in recent years, it wasn't that long ago that Europeans were laughing their asses off when Americans put big ass V8 into cars and got barely 200hp out of them. Something European manufacturers could get with an engine half its size.
And believe me when I say that Renault know how to get power from small engines. Not only do they have extensive experience from Rally working on small engines with power out the ass. But Renault have a 1.6l engine that produces well over 800hp that they race in F1.
They probably know more about building powerful small engines then North America combined.
The NSX wasn't just an affordable mid-engine super car, it was about innovation as well.
Just like the new NSX is about innovation with its hybrid engine.
And having actually ridden in an NSX, it is beyond amazing. Frankly, the only ones bitching about the NSX are those wanking off to supercars online or those who have built what the NSX was up in their head to something it could never be.

This to me is the biggest game changer for an ‘Under $100k’ sports car since Nissan released the GTR R35 back in 2007/2008
The R35 is over 100k......
akvlogs Not when it was released...
@@aks12345ize it was around 60k when it first came out👀
Xadrian Tajalle why’d it get so much more expensive?
@@Metroidfreek Economics. The GTR was a "return to form" supercar that was released during a major recession. They had to scrounge up demand by offering it at a freakish price. It eventually ballooned in price as the economy got better and the need to actually pay for all the R&D that went into the car had to be made. I reckon they still haven't gotten anywhere close to breaking even, which is exactly why we see a largely unchanged GTR to this day. Same with the 370z.
The exhaust note sounds amazing, also no fake vents everywhere, also great interior, also fast. This is an amazing value for the car.
@Joe H Possibly not at first. It's a new car. Obviously there are gonna be kinks to work out. But in the end it should be reliable. Not as much as the new supra tho. Lol
@TruManGraehme Annnd, what does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?
Chevy just revolutionized the entire market. Not just the supercar segment, but all of them.
This is insane at this price point. Absolutely insane..

Everyone’s acting like Chevy is the first to do this, toyota did this in the 80’s and 90’s with the aw11 and SW20 MR2. Which also gave other manufacturers a run for their as it out performed many.
@@robertculpepper1508 The Corvette plant has built 40-50,000 Vettes PER YEAR. You can bet GM is going to push that number this year. Thats 1,000 per week.

Cleetus McFarland has entered the chat
Imagine twin turbskies and the glorious noise right behind your head...
Actually people have already broke the C8 into deep 10s and I believe 9s in the 1/4 mile. People have already put nitrous kits on them and (dare I say the name to this shitty company) Hennessy Performance has equipped the C8 with a twin turbo setup and streetspeed717 is also helping with R&D on aftermarket exhaust by sending his exhaust to a high end performance muffler manufacturer. The ZR1 package is rumored to come with a twin turbo setup pushing north of 900hp to the crank but it’ll also have a 5.5L DOHC (rumors on the turbo and power #’s) so we will just have to see what else GM has hidden up their sleeve

onlysublime Hey now!! I am one of those “old white guys”. Not a big vette fan myself but this one looks like a winner for the price.
Now I know how people would've reacted when they saw the original NSX for the first time.
A European car killer for less than 1/2 the price
Except the NSX was slow compared to its competitors.
except the original NSX is a complete beauty, timeless as the decades have shown... This C8 though.. :S
@@AyaxRo I HATE NEW CARS AHHH you realise how dumb you sound this car is awesome lol
2016 memes yeah I notice a trend in high school teenage car guys who don’t even have a license to hate new cars only on the basis that they are new, which is stupid.
Except the NSX underperformed compared to everyone else...
Stupid delusional weeb lol
This is hands down the best B2B episode in the history of B2B, the Lambo Urus and RR Cullinan episodes are also epic, THIS is the B2B that I want to be back
US: we made a mid engined supercar with carbon fibre
EU: meh
US: it has over 500 horsepower and 8 speed dual clutch
EU: meh
US: price is 60k or less
EU: wait that's illegal!!!
60k for ugly car, should be illegal
@@asas-ct7vs if u think this is ugly, then u better get your eyes checked son
@@doodskie999 its 100 percent ugly
Is got a carbon fibre bumper, and the engine is stone age
@@doodskie999 that car is ugly, you need to get your own eyes checked out
Well played GM. They nailed it on everything. Turbocharged or supercharged will be completely insane.
495 hrsprs!
470 ft lbs of turk!
Get it right James!
My C8 dream build: 4WD with front axle disconnect, a wrinkle red powder coated whipple supercharger, air suspension, active aero, big wang, forged wheels, better illustration graphics dashboard, launch control and rolling anti lag using a Stand Alone Syvecs ECU, a racing livery wrap that is stealth-like with red accents, upgrade audio system with sub, tints, bodykit, NOS. 😎
I'll buy this over a crazy expensive truck and buy a cheap beater truck for work 😂🤣 it's a bargain
Tony Flick you nailed it man... 🤣
I would do that
The old Silverado is a beast
Yes, I was mulling the same decision. All purchases are on hold ...this is exciting.
If they do a zl1 package it will be fucking bonkers
like..im not the biggest corvette enthusiast but for real...u can't get a better new car for 60 grand
Looks pretty cool. For 60 k I can get a used Model S for 45ish K
CAMARO _KYLE he says can’t not can
@@coenv oh shit
*coughs* hellcat
@@huskbutt yeah, I love boats.
congrats Chevy you just destroyed the new "supra" sales 👍
For sure! If you really must have a Supra buy the old one but you'd have to have rocks in your head to choose the new one over this masterpiece! :)
@@ScylockeX nope local dealer cant move the 2 he has, that markup dropped real quick.
@@ScylockeX They didn't make a 2019 "Supra". The new ones are 2020s.
@@adamcz3183 Maybe those are the two I see being heavily advertised on Facebook all the time. Weird color combinations or something?
Was actually saving up for a Supra but now I’m reconsidering
It still sounds very Corvette with that exhaust note. This is an absolute beast of a car.
Not a Chevy guy. Don't like 'vette's in general. This, I freakin love!
This car looks beyond phenomenal, inside and out.
Lamborghini charges you 4 to 5 times the amount you'd pay for this, while this has an interior equally angular and futuristic, and an exterior that looks INCREDIBLE.
I'm ALL for this new Corvette, what a machine, and WHAT. A. STEAL.
Lollikips heck ya
More like Ferrari but yes agree!
You’ve got to love GM for resetting the runaway prices on a sports car. It only means a win for average joes!
Not just Toyota mr2s for me! It's really awesome that chevy made this!
GM nailed this! I've always been a Japanese guy but this is callin my name!
It's 2019... I love this car. It's great that something like this is being built and sold for what I'd consider to be a reasonable price for what you get.
Reasonable for what you get I guess but it’s still not affordable for young people
@@Pokemonzeldabro not supposed to be that's why us young people have to work hard like our mothers and fathers
Marcus S103 I know that sounds good and all but it’s not that simple. People have reoccurring expenses they have to pay. By the time it’s done, there isn’t enough left for most to try and afford something like this. This car is bought by elders but the C8 seems more like it is being advertised to the younger generation.
Well my wife got the 2019 pilot touring, I’m treating myself to this
Kanti123 seems about rich
Not to tell you what to do, but I would wait for different trim levels to be announced.
Difference is she will still have pilot in 15 years with 300k miles
I would wait for the Z06
Wait for the zO6 👀
Already shedding tears at 3:34. Love this man's committment and dedication ❤️
peak petrolhead, truly living the dream
The C8 is hands down my favorite car so I am so glad you guys did a bumper to bumper on it
If this had a Mercedes badge it would be marked up to $190,000
true words
Does this Corvette has the same luxury and interior material quality as the Mercedes?
@@insansiregar7522 It would most likely be better unless you're talking about their S Classes and Maybachs
@@Stunnedstudios What about the AMG Project ONE?
@@insansiregar7522 Mercedes will literally put a bag of shit on your front door and you will keep the bag because it says mercedes on it

Haha so true. Fuk overpriced Italian junk. Joe Bob Dean can do your oil change at the local Chevy dealer too with the C8.
i don't think this will shit on exotics that hard, but things like gt500s, higher end challengers sure.
honestly no ones actually driven it yet and while super promising its possible its doesn't completely live up to the hype
Acura has also left the chat.
This deserves more likes lol

Let me just switch gears. I just gotta grab the stick shift..... Wait!!! What the f.....???? RIGHT!! This thing only comes in automatic 😑
Complete disappointment for me, supra is far better looking and I'm pretty sure it's going to be better driving.
Levi this ain’t it chief
@@Levi-sv6xn lmao you're either kidding or you're actually just a homosexual
This car literally took my breath away I have a new favourite car the interior is so fresh soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome
Donut: Finally a mid-engine American sports car!
Ford GT: Am I a joke to you?!?!
Significantly less expensive lol
Blake Brown there is also the Pontiac Fiero. The production wasn’t that long but it was said to have been shut down because they began looking at a turbo model that could have been a threat to the corvette at the time so it was scrapped.
Yep, GT40’s been around for some years now. Lol at Chevy owners!
to be a production model, they need to produce a certain number of cars and you guessed it, Ford GT 40 doesn't count under them.
@@KaungPyaeSoneWinhereiam Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for setting me straight. 👍
