@@TucsonDude Which it is doesn't really matter, these days just about any mid range hobbyist grade quadcopter in that size class is quicker than just about any car. They don't typically top out much above 130mph but they can pull off several G of acceleration. It isn't the DJI FPV quad though, looks wrong for that.
@@yucannthahvitt I am not sure about that. Maybe initial acceleration, but not top speed. I have one of the later DJI drones (DJI Mavic 2) and it tops out at 50 mph. Which ones are you referring to that can go that fast? Plus, why do people keep saying "FPV quad"? The FPV is the goggle accessory (first person view). I know because I have them.
Never underestimate a Corvette. I was in Newport Beach for a job interview once. Center lane in my S2000. On my left pull a Ferrari 430. On my right pulls a C6 Z06 Vette. I just kinda hunkered a bit lower in my seat as they started revving. Light turns green, and the Ferrari got dusted like it was standing still.
Holy crap, the base model vette was able to trade some blows with 100hp and 100kg wieght disadvantage! The Corvette team really pulled off some witchery with those gear ratios and overall engineering. Can't wait to see what the Z06 and eventually ZR1 can do!
@@cptnsx Sounds like Ferarri is measuring crank horse power (engine only), not HP at the wheels, then (which is always less than crank HP). C8 is also still in break-in, thus power is reduced by 30%, until 500 miles is reached.
@@AA-kf3by that doesnt mean anything the rarri is just expansive bc its a special model but if you go by price the f8 would be closer and maybe even better performing
You might want to rethink that hp number a bit. Mat is way off here. For starters, he quotes PS for the Ferrari and bhp for the Corvette. Secondly, the bhp number for the Z51 which this is, is 495, not 482. So we are looking at 495 vs. 597, so 102 bhp of difference. Secondly it well documented that the 458 was slightly overrated on power, and it is equally well documented that the C8 is a bit underrated. So you can be quite sure that it's more like an 85-90 bhp difference if not less. Thirdly, let's look at weight. It is more like 125 kg difference in the real world. All that said, the C8 does well for what it is for sure, but one should not be surprised that the 458 is not THAT much better, especially considering the 8 speed trans in the C8 and the frankly abysmal launch control system in the 458's,
@AB-80X even if what u r saying could be possible which tho i dont agree , it's still almost 100 HP less and 125KG heavier and still only lost by a .1 of a second but remember that the C8 is $131,000 less which makes everything you said a waste of your time.
@@rudymcrudy964 The C8 is also over 10 years younger. Not really boastworthy, is it, your brand new car being almost as good as a 10 year old (based on a 15 year old) Ferrari, 2 generations behind, in the only sort of race the vette would be competitive in
Race starts 2:37 First Rematch 3:33 Second Rematch 4:13 Rolling race from (non-sport mode) 50 mph 5:22 Rolling race from (sportiest setting) 50 mph 6:24 Brake test 7:37
my favorite thing about this is you can see the case for both of these. the c8 is such an insane value but the 458 is rightfully like the whole experience perfected at of course a massive premium. either way glad they both exist
@@Phantaam speed isnt the only parameter that matters outside of a drag race but yeah the z06 would be more comparable but imo still doesnt remove the argument for that screaming 458
Also with the price difference imagine taking your vette to Hennessy Performance I bet it’ll still cost less and that Ferrari would know very well what the C8 tail end looks like as it pulls away.
The ferrari is almost 10 years old the reason it gets so expensive is the beautiful engine sound that na v8 revving up to 9k rpm is just unbeatable also its timeless design. Also the very simple but pretty interior with high quality materials. The car is also very nicely balanced and is perfect for circuit days its all about driving experience no one would notice the .5 s launch time difference from 0-60 in normal driving conditions.
@@bmstylee That is such a lame statement. First off, those engines will need one hell of a huffer to make 1000 hp. Secondly, GM does not "undercam" their engines, that's a stupid comment. They build their engines to last, to be comfortable to drive and to meet emissions, plain and simple. Sure you can but some BTR cam and shove it in there and make more power, and you will then also wave goodbye to your warranty, the reliability and the street friendly manners. I have built plenty of LS engines and a few LT1 engines, so I know what they can and can't do. If you think you can just add a lot of power without sacrificing some of the things that make the car as nice to drive as it is, you are sorely mistaken. By that account you might as well throw a pair of turbos on the 458. People do that too and they live as well, so it is what it is. Apples to apples, stock vs. stock. That's the name of the game.
are we forgetting how the 458 is 10 or 11 years old.. like fam it came at 2010 mate, the c8 came at 2020, PLUS that was ferraris old flagship model and GMS flagship is the c8 so what i am trying to say is if you want to compare a flagship with another flagship then the newest ferrari flagship i am pretty sure is the f8, and yeh the 458 is more expensive but like first of all its a ferrari, second it sounds better ( opinion ) third it is beautiful and lastly it is exotic, the c8 is not exotic it is a supercar but not exotic
Props to corvette did a fantastic job as always a great bang for the buck in comparison to established super car brands. Would be curious to see a c8 vs standard 458. Or redo this race but with the c8 z06. Great content as always
I can see you don't understand anything... That's about as intelligent as saying, "The muscular Romanian cook in our canteen is stronger than the boss's sharp secretary." For this reason you take the Romanian cook... Good for you..
All in all the drag races are very fun to watch! But it would be much better when you can display the times of the cars (0-100, 100-200, 1/4-mile,…) and decide the races according to the times. So when someone misses the start and loses because he reaches the line as the second one but have all in all better times it doesn’t matter. I hope you understand my criticism and I am not the only one who wants this. Have a great weekend ✌️
Wow I did not expect the Vett to do so well. Incredibly impressive against the Ferrari especially since you could buy 2 Vetts and have a lot change leftover lol
The Vette seems to punch way above it's weight class. It's pretty impressive for what it can do. Still out of the budget of a lot of the car buying public but amazing value for those who can afford it. Unless you're me and don't fit in those cars then it's moot regardless of price.
@@bmstylee Vetts were always one of the very few fast cars I could fit in lol, but haven’t sat in a C8 yet. Honestly I don’t like it at all I’d buy a C7, but it’s a very impressive car for the money and especially for what it’s holding it’s own against.
@@2wheelobsessed I'm not huge but the seats are incredibly uncomfortable. I have a wide mid and upper back from 20+ years training as a powerlifters and the bolsters smash my ribcage. I'll stick with my trucks. More room and definitely more practical. And with the right mods can be pretty quick as well.
Well, it's not fair to compare the price of a mass-produced car against a limited edition handbuilt car which has grown so much because of car collectors. Is it? That said, the Vette is a lot of a car for the money.
Good video. The C8 needs to be in Track mode with the traction button pushed twice. This takes the nannies off and THEN you get the full output of the engine. The Ferrari will still be faster with the HP advantage, but the Vette will be closer. The Chevrolet engineers wanted to keep the car stable and safe for it's average driver so the performance is only full at the Track race 2 settings.
Excellent race! 458 is gorgeous, C8 is very impressive. You'll have to test the new Z06 later this year with the new flat plane V8 making 670HP. It should take the 458 for about 1/3 the price.
Love the 458 but that C8 is a performance bargain, as you can see in this video. The c8 is heavier and down on hp but kept up with the 458 in the drag race, very impressive. The Chevy engineers did a good job with having the c8 put the power down. I would love to see a race between the 458 and the c8 z06, i think the results would be a lot different but that probably goes without saying.
The Corvette in this video also only had 98 miles on the odometer, which means 30% of its torque is limited until 500 miles, which is for engine break in period. In the US, the C8 Corvette gets low 11s unprepped and high 10s prepped. I've ridden shotgun in a c8 vette at Gainesville drag strip and it did an 11.47. I weigh 200lbs and the driver weighed 180lbs
Digital watches measure time the same way or better than a Rolex, yet people desire the Rolex still. Performance is cheap. Craftsmanship, artistry and exclusivity are not.
@@nightdriver7216 Most people cannot afford a Rolex comfortably, but most people can easily afford a functional, accurate Casio. Of course Ferrari is still nice to own if one can comfortably afford it, but then someone who owns a Porsche 918 should laugh at the one who owns a 458 and claim they should give up on it since it's not a 918? Of course not. There are good things in every orice range. That is how they should be judged. Price / Performance ratio is the key. Heavy weight boxers are not thought of as the best boxers. They are only judged by who is the best boxer in the heavy weight division. Everyone doesn't just ignore every other division. They look at who is the best in each division. Corvette C8 is amazing when it comes to *Price / Performance* ratio.
@@saltyfloridaman7163 Wow. Do you think they intentionally did that (drove the C8 underpowered) because if the Corvette just romped the Ferrari, then Ferrari would call them up and complain? 🤣
Despite how great they are, i would go with the C8 as it's more daily drivable than the 458s, and for a much cheaper price i can still keep up to the 458s as well.
@@Clayson000 ?? I had my F430 spider manual since new in 2007. Only in the shop once. I'm not sure it's less reliable than a Chevy. However, the Chevy looks... odd. It looks like a cheap toy robot, and the body is weirdly long-looking. I like ALL the previous Corvettes' appearance, but this one is just too randomly styled. Speed doesn't really matter to me pas a certain point, but I traded a four month old R35 GT-R for the Ferrari. I expected it to be slower but the Ferrari on a roll could actually slightly gain on the first-generation R35, by like a half a car-length in 10 sec, according to "tests" on empty Japanese highways. And the cost of an item like a car isn't the purchase price, but rather the depreciation. My Ferrari took a big hit when the 458 came out then a little hit when the 488 came out, but it's value's inching upwards now. I grant some Corvette models appreciate but most don't. Basically by comparing purchase price, not depreciation, you're showing yourself to be a poor person, and stupid enough that you'll remain poor.
@@lqr824 1. how often do you drive the car, if not a lot that would explain the lack of service you have had to do. 2. the f430 only wins at rolls because it had decent power and low weight, (good job on watching a video of a gtr and 430 racing from a roll, the half a car length was spot on). 3. how would wanting the cheaper and better car make me poor, it shows that I know what to do with my money if I ever wanted to buy a sports car, which would be the stupid thing to do. I you want to get a fast daily driver just get a motorcycle, I could walk your f430 with a 6k bike.
@@Clayson000 > good job on watching a video of a gtr and 430 racing from a roll, the half a car length was spot on While driving from Tokyo to Fukuoka there was about 15 min where there were no other cars in sight, when a GT-R entered the highway right next to me. I had just sold my GT-R and since I had RHD and he had LHD, we could actually converse at sort of 50mph and decided to try a roll. I was surprised as the GT-R is so mind-bendingly quick off the line thx to 4WD and having VERY close gears low down. But from say 30MPH to 130MPH the top-down spider had the tiniest tiniest advantage. I didn't speed-shift but started at like 5800RPM and shifted at redline. (Manual.) Yeah, you still don't seem to understand the difference between purchase price and appreciation. I have trouble imagining what it must be like to be so dumb.
@@redline589 well it depends on many things, but these standard cars with automatic transmission and computers that control everything is easy to drive.

@@dustovshio nah, the ferrari has a timeless style that's all it's own. the vette is copying the ferrari, how could anyone mistake a ferrari for a vette?
@@dustovshio you should see them in person, big difference, no one is going to mistake the Italian exotic for a kit car looking Vette. Again, in person there is no comparison.
excellent comparison. Amazing how well matched the C8 is especially for a fraction of the cost. Just based off this I think a lot of the high end exotic/supercars are going to find themselves outmatched with the z06
after the z06 comes out anyone who buys a ferrari is a d-bag just saying look how much money I have but they are still gona get their shit handed to them and go home crying to their mamas when the z06 trounces them
The problem with the corvettes is that they are making cars that are 10 years outdated. Ferrari is using decade old technology while this is Chevys brand new stuff. Comparing new to new, Chevy doesn’t have a chance.
@@matthewalvarez1305 yeh but let’s be honest…..corvettes are better because it just lasts longer. Let’s also not forget about the price and expenses to maintaining that Ferrari.
@@matthewalvarez1305 what specifically is outdated about the new z06 ? and why does it even matter if it will outperform the ferrarri anyway. If you are winning on the track or drag strip it doesn't matter if your car is 100 years old or if the tech is "outdated". Winning is winning it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. it doesn't matter if you spend 500k or 100k. The whole point of a sports car is to go fast, handle well, and be faster than other cars..which the corvette does just fine. and as a bonus has an interior that is equal to the ferrari. the corevette is like what the nsx was in the 90s' the everyday supercar that is also reliable and easy to daily drive... except unlike the nsx that the vette is actually fast.
@@matthewalvarez1305 ummm what? A 2LT C8 has a better interior, sound system, and suspension than every Ferrari on the market today. All the C8 needs is the SAME HP of the Ferrari and it’s over lol You’re the guy who can’t afford either anyways😉
@@DannyChamberlin41 I see that reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Read the comment again. He specially said C7 ZR1. You did read that right? Are you just dumb for no reason?
Z mode isn’t the top mode in the c8 the z mode is a saved preset for the driver, the corvette has a track mode that can be selected from the knob by the gear buttons
According to the internet the zr1 will produce 805hp at least and if a base model stingray with 491hp is this fast then the ZO6 and ZR1 will be fast as f
lol , its a DECADE older. The 458 released in 2010 .... They had a whole decade. Also , interesting fact , the corvette C8 was actually benchmarked to the 458 . Thats why the ferrari is going up in value, the 458 was special for the emotion it gave drivers. To everyone shocked how good the corvette is , i must admit it is . But the numbers are not . a 2019 bmw m5 does a 11.1 quarter mile and thats a 4 door sedan.
@@cornholioyo725 well true but to be fair the m5 is awd and has more power than even the 458, at least the CS model. The C8 is heavier and down on power but yet it can keep up with the 458, and thats just for the base mode stingray. Even if the 458 is a 10 year old car, its still not slow by any means. 😱
@@cornholioyo725 the M5 top spec is much more money. And the vette is much more fun and looks much better. Not been funny i find it weird when people talk a drag racing about Euro prestige cars because few years ago they were not bothered

Love the drone footage !!! More drones please ! Also love how elastic that Ferrari engine is - foot to the floor, nah man, i won't kickdown, just stick to 5th gear and build the revs. That's some astonishing low-end torque - stuff that usually the Americans were good at.
That’s insane performance from the US Corvette. Bit like USA v England in WC2022. Wow very impressive. Can you say VALUE for money. Wow. Very impressed vet.
That Ferrari is gorgeous! The drone shots are amazing. Small editing suggestion, keep the drone shots going a few more seconds before cutting. I felt like I was just getting into the groove enjoying the drone footage and then it cuts away too quickly.
To be fair, with the price difference, you can choose the highest level C8 with every possible available performance upgrade, making it very possible to match or even surpass the Ferrari and still have enough money left over to send it off to Lingenfelter if it doesn’t……and probably STILL have money left over!
Well, these 2 cars are not at the same level brother by any means. If you have that much money, the last thing on your mind would be the highest level C8 Corvette, trust me.
And now the new C8 Z06 is out. Starts at just under £88k at current exchange rates, weighs 1,560 kg with the Z07 Performance Package, and has a DOHC 5.5l flat plane V8 cranking out 670 hp and 624 Nm with a 8,600 rpm red-line. So 90 kg lighter while having 188 hp & 11 Nm more than the vette in this video. Compared to the Ferrari it makes 65 hp and 84 nm more while being only 60 kg heavier. The Z06 is also 0.3 seconds faster from 0 to 60 (2.6 verse 2.9). The Z06 has always been the one you want if you are hunting the exotics. The new C8 version just takes it to a whole other level.
The Corvette has 495 HP on this side of the pond. Great comparison, and quality video as always. I wonder why they would de tune them to 480 ? History will show that they always fudged the HP #s to get around legalities lol
@@-SP. that is NOT why lol. Removing 15hp wouldn’t increase reliability. And the LS/LT engines are very stout…hence why they’re swapped into basically every other platform. And they’re definitely more reliable than most anything from Europe. I’m sure the reason for the detune is emissions or sound related.
I think they have more restrictive emissions and noise rules that lower hp in most models over there. For example, their AMG cars all sound pretty shit compared to ours here in the states.
It's amazing how cars get better over the years. A 150kg heavier and 100hp less powerful Vette gave the Ferrari a run for its money after being released just a few years later. Impressive
Try that power figure again. That's actually a 102 bhp difference. The imported C8's are the 495 bhp variant, and the Speciale is 597. Add to that the fact that the C8 is slightly underrated and the 458 was slightly overrated. That difference will probably be 90 bhp at best.
cant WAIT to see the c8 Z07 versus the 458 speciale, still most likely to be 1/4 of the price of the speciale, and i'm sure will really give it a much better run for its money
Ferrari does not aim to be the first in the 0-100, but in giving the truest and most visceral driving emotions, taking from Formula 1 technology. Ferrari is the first in the world! The rest is crap! 🇮🇹🏎
@@albussilence6020 awe yeah that’s true. I’m just talking about the simply fact that a car that cost scores less and is a corvette still is able to stay above a Ferrari for a good amount of time. 0-60 isn’t everything depending on what race you are doing. But it seems that every day the C8 is proving itself to be more and more of a marvel. It’s highly impressive. In terms of championships and stuff, Ferrari is still untouched
@@pHixiq I don't understand Corvette's choice to change the philosophy of American muscle cars by putting the engine in a central position like the European supercars, in my opinion it has been distorted, even if I admit it is a wonderful car, very rare to see here in Italy and with a excellent value for money. I love the Corvettes and the Viper, even if for me they are not at the level of Ferrari or Lamborghini ...
@@albussilence6020 the Corvette has never been a muscle car, it has always been a Grand Touring coupe/ Sports car.

For starters, he quotes PS for the Ferrari and bhp for the Corvette. Secondly, the bhp number for the Z51 which this is, is 495, not 482. So we are looking at 495 vs. 597, so 102 bhp of difference.
Secondly it well documented that the 458 was slightly overrated on power, and it is equally well documented that the C8 is a bit underrated. So you can be quite sure that it's more like an 85-90 bhp difference if not less.
Thirdly, let's look at weight. It is more like 125 kg difference in the real world.
All that said, the C8 does well for what it is for sure, but one should not be surprised that the 458 is not THAT much better, especially considering the 8 speed trans in the C8 and the frankly abysmal launch control system in the 458's,
@AB-80X even if what u r saying could be possible which tho i dont agree , it's still almost 100 HP less and 125KG heavier and still only lost by a .1 of a second but remember that the C8 is $131,000 less which makes everything you said a waste of your time.
@@AB-80X no, export c8 hp is 482 due to Euro emissions.

For the difference in the price, weight and power I'd say the vette done good against the 458
GM generally undercams their engines. A bigger cam and some tuning will wipe the smile off the Ferrari. Those engines will handle 1000 hp easily.
Also with the price difference imagine taking your vette to Hennessy Performance I bet it’ll still cost less and that Ferrari would know very well what the C8 tail end looks like as it pulls away.
The ferrari is almost 10 years old the reason it gets so expensive is the beautiful engine sound that na v8 revving up to 9k rpm is just unbeatable also its timeless design. Also the very simple but pretty interior with high quality materials. The car is also very nicely balanced and is perfect for circuit days its all about driving experience no one would notice the .5 s launch time difference from 0-60 in normal driving conditions.
@@bmstylee
That is such a lame statement. First off, those engines will need one hell of a huffer to make 1000 hp. Secondly, GM does not "undercam" their engines, that's a stupid comment. They build their engines to last, to be comfortable to drive and to meet emissions, plain and simple.
Sure you can but some BTR cam and shove it in there and make more power, and you will then also wave goodbye to your warranty, the reliability and the street friendly manners. I have built plenty of LS engines and a few LT1 engines, so I know what they can and can't do. If you think you can just add a lot of power without sacrificing some of the things that make the car as nice to drive as it is, you are sorely mistaken. By that account you might as well throw a pair of turbos on the 458. People do that too and they live as well, so it is what it is.
Apples to apples, stock vs. stock. That's the name of the game.
are we forgetting how the 458 is 10 or 11 years old.. like fam it came at 2010 mate, the c8 came at 2020, PLUS that was ferraris old flagship model and GMS flagship is the c8 so what i am trying to say is if you want to compare a flagship with another flagship then the newest ferrari flagship i am pretty sure is the f8, and yeh the 458 is more expensive but like first of all its a ferrari, second it sounds better ( opinion ) third it is beautiful and lastly it is exotic, the c8 is not exotic it is a supercar but not exotic

All in all the drag races are very fun to watch! But it would be much better when you can display the times of the cars (0-100, 100-200, 1/4-mile,…) and decide the races according to the times.

Good video. The C8 needs to be in Track mode with the traction button pushed twice. This takes the nannies off and THEN you get the full output of the engine. The Ferrari will still be faster with the HP advantage, but the Vette will be closer. The Chevrolet engineers wanted to keep the car stable and safe for it's average driver so the performance is only full at the Track race 2 settings.

Love the 458 but that C8 is a performance bargain, as you can see in this video. The c8 is heavier and down on hp but kept up with the 458 in the drag race, very impressive.

Let's see how the Z06 does against the Pista!!!!
The Corvette in this video also only had 98 miles on the odometer, which means 30% of its torque is limited until 500 miles, which is for engine break in period.

It looks like a cheap toy robot, and the body is weirdly long-looking. I like ALL the previous Corvettes' appearance, but this one is just too randomly styled. Speed doesn't really matter to me pas a certain point, but I traded a four month old R35 GT-R for the Ferrari. I expected it to be slower but the Ferrari on a roll could actually slightly gain on the first-generation R35, by like a half a car-length in 10 sec, according to "tests" on empty Japanese highways. And the cost of an item like a car isn't the purchase price, but rather the depreciation. My Ferrari took a big hit when the 458 came out then a little hit when the 488 came out, but it's value's inching upwards now. I grant some Corvette models appreciate but most don't. Basically by comparing purchase price, not depreciation, you're showing yourself to be a poor person, and stupid enough that you'll remain poor.
@@lqr824 1. how often do you drive the car, if not a lot that would explain the lack of service you have had to do. 2. the f430 only wins at rolls because it had decent power and low weight, (good job on watching a video of a gtr and 430 racing from a roll, the half a car length was spot on). 3. how would wanting the cheaper and better car make me poor, it shows that I know what to do with my money if I ever wanted to buy a sports car, which would be the stupid thing to do.

While driving from Tokyo to Fukuoka there was about 15 min where there were no other cars in sight, when a GT-R entered the highway right next to me. I had just sold my GT-R and since I had RHD and he had LHD, we could actually converse at sort of 50mph and decided to try a roll. I was surprised as the GT-R is so mind-bendingly quick off the line thx to 4WD and having VERY close gears low down. But from say 30MPH to 130MPH the top-down spider had the tiniest tiniest advantage. I didn't speed-shift but started at like 5800RPM and shifted at redline. (Manual.)

@@-SP. that is NOT why lol. Removing 15hp wouldn’t increase reliability. And the LS/LT engines are very stout…hence why they’re swapped into basically every other platform.

The 458 doubled the value and is a almost 10year old car not meant for drags. I doubt the corvette is twice the money in almost 10 years.
2:19 the license plate says ADHD AF 😂😂😂
I love that Ferrari, but suspect the upcoming Z06 will outperform. I’m shocked at how well the base Corvette held it’s own…Car WOW!
The 458 driver sucked. It’s well known that it can get 10.4
Outperform? The C8 Z06 will demolish anything from that generation lol.
@@bobjordan5597 10.4? That’s what modern Ferrari’s do lmao
@@bobjordan5597 Even the newer Pista couldn't manage that time on this channel.
@@Amarjit_Singh yep but dragtimes manage to do a 10.3 on f8 10.1 on the pista
I am more fascinated how fast is that drone😱😂
Yeah 😂😂
2 of my favorite cars in 1 video!!! this is amazing
Give me the Vette, yep I’m American 😂😂😂.
The C8 dead ass is one of the most impressive cars made in recent years 🤣
Ferrari does not aim to be the first in the 0-100, but in giving the truest and most visceral driving emotions, taking from Formula 1 technology. Ferrari is the first in the world! The rest is crap! 🇮🇹🏎
@@albussilence6020 awe yeah that’s true. I’m just talking about the simply fact that a car that cost scores less and is a corvette still is able to stay above a Ferrari for a good amount of time. 0-60 isn’t everything depending on what race you are doing. But it seems that every day the C8 is proving itself to be more and more of a marvel. It’s highly impressive. In terms of championships and stuff, Ferrari is still untouched
@@albussilence6020 dude this is the base c8 wait for Z06, ZR1 variants, remember le mans?
@@pHixiq I don't understand Corvette's choice to change the philosophy of American muscle cars by putting the engine in a central position like the European supercars, in my opinion it has been distorted, even if I admit it is a wonderful car, very rare to see here in Italy and with a excellent value for money. I love the Corvettes and the Viper, even if for me they are not at the level of Ferrari or Lamborghini ...
@@albussilence6020 the Corvette has never been a muscle car, it has always been a Grand Touring coupe/ Sports car. The C7 Zr1 posted a faster lap time than the McLaren 765LT, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and nearly every other car except for the million dollar McLaren Senna, and the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series, which was only 250ms faster than the ZR1, despite having better tire compound at VIR Grand Course, which is the closest equivalent to the nurburgring in overall car performance. benchmarking standards.
I had the pleasure of driving a 458 for a few days. An incredible experience i'll never forget!
Impressive showing from the Vette considering it has 100bhp less than the Ferrari and weighs almost 300lbs more. I’m sure the Ferrari would dominate on track, but I can’t help but wonder what the Z06 or even Grand Sport would do? 🤔
z06 would probably mop it, a 488 would be close, not sure about an f8 though.
600 lbs? No more like 200 lbs. But still I agree
@@ericmichel3857 Nope, the weight difference is 265kg which is about 600lbs (584lbs to be exact). And 1395kg is the kerb weight for Ferrari and checked it on their website.
Only 300lbs. More touque, better eletronic, modern gearbox for the Vette. The result is O.K. but not impressive.
@@Toymonkeyjr zr1 would probably be on the level of the f8
Matt, you should try to chase the new-ish Corvette still with the 'Old' 6.2lt, but with 160hp worth of Electric motors to the front wheels, putting it up over 600 hp, and in launching heaven. Or, the new Corvette with the 5.5lt flat plane crank,,, Thanks, Mick.
I had to come back since the Z06 is out i wanna see this race again Matt
Z06 VS speciale
They will sandbag it like they did with the c8.
When the C8 Z06 comes out, we gotta see a rematch with the Speciale
Idiot the 458 ist a very old car. 458 -> 488-> 488 Pista-> F8 Tributo. The very old Ferrari Fucks the New corvette !!! Wow the C8 is a perfekt Car 😜😂😂😂😂😂
Why not the Pista?
@@Amarjit_Singh ZR1 for the pista
@@SE-dn7xl SF90 for ZR1
Don't understand how you lot think about an older Ferrari as comparable to a newer Corvette!!!
@@Amarjit_Singh because Corvette always behind Ferrari. 😂🤣👍
For the money, you can't beat the bang for the bucks you get in the corvette. Standard 458 would be interesting 🤔
The Ferrari will only appreciate though.. So I suppose it's an investment.
@@faz_s Ferrari appreciate?🤣🤣.
@@dovercomer.2748 0:40 - 0:55 Looks like you missed this part lol
@@dovercomer.2748 Your comment - 😂😂 Absolutely clueless
even the 458 Italia would still beat the C8 Corvette... ua-cam.com/video/VSx26ZicFdI/v-deo.html
Nice. Eagerly waiting to see c8 z06 compete with 911 turbo s 992. Pls do it
Whoever is operating the drone
*Give him a raise*
Also, make it a permanent staple as well
Love us some birds-eye angle
That driver in the Ferrari has the reaction speed of a glacier
Loved the drag race! If possible you should do the Z06 vs the Ferrari 458!
The 458 ist a old car idiot. The 458-> 488-488 Pista-> F8 Tributo the new corvette is slower a very old ferrari
And Z06 vs Pista
@@Amarjit_Singh we need a Ford GT vs a LaFerrari
@@cjohnson9211 LaFerrari would be too much for the Ford.
I can't wait for Carwow to get a z06 and sand bag it too. Maybe they will have been paying attention to the comments from actual c8 owners and realize the ruse has to stop.
