    Totally different geographic. The Camero is priced for younger guys. C8 for the Adults in the Room. There comes a time a stick doesn't work for U. Lights are a fad that probably gets turned off and its more of personal opinion type deal. Some people grew up wanting a Corvette not sure if anyone grew up with Camero as their dream car.

    The camaro is a more practical car all around, you’re always going to be more at ease in it, even getting in and out of it is much easier, but the C8 has distinction .
    Driving down the road the C8 gets the attention. As for handling and cornering, experience and skill can easily make up the difference at the track.

    I had a 2016 2SS Camaro not a 1LE and now own a 2020 Z51 Corvette. My opinion is 1) I don’t think it’s fair comparing a 1LE to a Stingray. Maybe you should compare it to a Z06, and 2) you left out the main thing to compare between the two and that is the cool factor and in my opinion blows the Camaro out of the water. I appreciate the video. I’m not bashing it whatsoever, but you asked. Keep them coming!

    • @zijunx1595

    I ordered a ss1le and drove both the c8 z51 3lt and ss1le on track, Camaro is indeed more capable of holding momentum, but that is more contributed by 285 or 315 front tires. Whereas c8 has only 245 but is not far off. Giving c8 a 285, I am sure the advantage will flip

    • @JROC734
      @JROC734 Рік тому +1

      Shoulda, woulda, coulda. The Vette isn't carrying 54% of its weight over the frontend of the car. Generally mid-engine cars don't run as much front rubber as a front engine car, and there are performance reasons for this. I doubt GM spec'd 245's on the front of a C8 because they were trying to budget on their new flagship/halo car. During their engineering of the C8 I'm sure they tested different tire setups to come up with the best all around setup to meet the goals they had for the cars. After running both I would argue that a GY SC3 has a slight dry performance edge over a Michelin PS4S when it's new and fresh, but that's about it. The Michelins are a better all around performance tire. You could also argue that the slight laptime edge that a C8 usually holds over the SS 1LE can be contributed to the LT2 having a 40 HP advantage with noticeably better topend performance than a LT1.

    Mike, I have had 2 Z28s and 3 Corvettes. Every point you made is valid and I agree with you 100%. I will just mention a few. The lighting in the Corvette is not as good as in the Camaro. You need the subtle lighting that was mentioned to help you find things without having to turn on bright interior lights. The up/down buttons on the steering wheel of the Corvette are crappy. The two previous things I mentioned are “attention to detail” items that were done correctly in the Camaro. And there are others, such as the soft close frunk that is coming, but should have been there from the start. The last thing I will mention is the (lack of) room in the C8 Corvette. The Camaro doesn’t have much, but does have some. When I have been driving my C7Z and get into my C8, I am constantly looking for a place to store things that I can quickly access when I have my wife with me. Like a gym bag or a small cooler for a day trip. At least with my C7 or with a Camaro it is an easy reach into the back without having to stop and get out. On a side note, that 455 HP can quickly and very inexpensively get very close to ZL1 numbers (which would exceed Stingray numbers) with heads, cam, tune, etc. and still be NA. Great video and comparison of the positives on the Camaro. Thanks Mike 💪🇺🇸

    Hi, is that a ZL1 1LE? Oh no, never mind, I see now it's a Fugazi Camaro. That's when they put overpriced plastic parts on their car to look like an imposter. The Camaro may as well be a farm tractor sitting next to the C8. Just my opinion. Door sill? Interior lighting? C'mon man. Seriously though, if you think the Camaro handles better than the C8, you need some Ron Fellows classes to learn how to drive that Corvette. The C8 does EVERYTHING better!! I remembered you lowered your car and changed the wheels and tires. Sounds like you may have screwed up the engineered geometry of the suspension. But hey, it looks good to you and that's all that matters. Blame GM..........LOL

      Those two cars as they sit will probably turn near identical lap times. Of course the Camaro is about half the price of the C8, so it will have a cheaper interior. But the chassis, gearbox, engine, suspension, and brakes on the Camaro are no joke. Better than a C7 in nearly every way.
