What a ridiculous comparison of an electric car with a horsepower of 1050 hp versus a gasoline car with 670 hp and lower torque. And that the electric with 1050 hp compared to only 670 hp, and that the 1050 is just a little faster. 😂😂😂😂. Because they do not seek to compare it with a c8 z06 hennessy?
Rory and Jesse are both brilliant presenters. They raise the category review level, and well compliment one another. I look forward to watching each of them again and again.
@@G-Rated I think the control most EVs have plus instant torque enables them to get the most out of any surface, especially the AWD versions. The Corvette would always struggle against them on anything less than a perfect surface. Not bagging the Corvette, just sayin.

Screaming performance, if I'm buying an expensive vehicle I want to showoff with it, a loud engine helps in that, it also looks better and would completely demolish the ev in an actual proper track race because that's where it’s designed to perform in The ev's however better if you have a big family and also want to showoff your unexpected high performance to people in such drag races
@@harriska when you're in drag race yes, when you're in track however then the scenario would be different, then the Z06 driver will see the ev in the rear view mirror, or maybe he won't because he will be so far ahead that the ev won't be even in the frame, the result varies a lot depending on the type of race
@@harriska And where can you use this power on the straight except on the dragstrip? You still wouldn't stand a chance on a racetrack. Don't get me wrong. The Lucid is an interesting piece of engineering, but it's just not an exciting or good-looking car.
What a great car the Lucid is... and I say that as a 2023 C8 owner!! Loved the video and wasn't surprised at all the results, including the breaking test. I hope Lucid kicks Tesla's A__! It is so much a better car, and it is beautiful!
Fun stuff! I love my Lucid and have driven a few twisty mountain roads, but haven't tried a track day yet. I have no doubt that the corvette would paste the Lucid on a lap time comparison but would love to see the big 4-door electric give a proper lap time at any widely known track.
I'd say if you want an EV 4 door that can hold its own on a track, probably the model S plaid w/ track pack. At least that's the best we got. It's among the fastest 4 doors to lap the ring and has the fastest 4 door time round willow.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 I suspect the Lucid GTP would be at least close to the Plaid at the 'Ring, and the Sapphire will quite likely be a good bit quicker. The Lucid has a much better suspension and brakes. I hope Lucid make a run at the record this year.
@@Miata822 I don't think the lucid can keep up with a plaid round a track (sapphire maybe). The lucid is a lot more comfortable and luxurious and as such, it's far heavier. Lucid is a 5200 lb car, plaids "only" 4800 lbs in comparison, that's a 400 lb minimum weight difference and the sapphire is likely to be even heavier. And yes, while the plaids standard brakes are garbage, their carbon ceramics are pretty remarkable and I have no doubt it's gonna brake and handle better than any lucid air trim, though the sapphire does have the straight line grunt, that being said I'm curious to see how the lucid fares on the 'ring. I think it's gonna beat the taycan, but there's an 8 second gap between the taycan and plaid and my guess is it'll fall within those 8 seconds, though I'm not a fortune teller.

Loving the interaction between Rory and Jesse - I'm just waiting for the Autotrader sponsored TV show with the three of you, and of course the guest appearance of Jesse ! 😊
Honestly, for the Lucid to have nearly double the torque & power as well as price, the gas powered C8 ZO6 is super impressive to me! Even more impressive now than before this test. 🔥
@@nezabytes Um, no. Most electric cars do nowhere near 9 second quarter mile times. Very few can do that. And besides, roll racing is not quarter mile times. Roll racing largely takes away an electric car's advantage of instant torque from a stop. Apples and oranges, kiddo.
Rory I have an idea for a episode. Would it be possible to do a fast lap using the clutch and gearing for breaking only. No break peddle allowed. I always thought it could be possible but haven't got the balls to try it out. 😮
Keep in mind, it's 1050 horsepower vs 670 at the end of the day. Almost 400 horsepower more is nothing to scoff at, weight aside. The Z06 did pretty well against the Lucid in my opinion. Rematch when the ZR1 and Zora Corvettes are released in a couple of years and this outcome will look quite different. And they will both be cheaper than the Lucid.
Z06 didn't stand a chance, its a one trick pony made only for racing and EV sedans can beat it at its terrain, try doing a road trip with 5 people in the Z06
Z06 is a two seat track toy vs a premium luxury sedan. They're not really comparable... I can't wait to see electric 2 seat sports cars arrive like the MG Cyberster!
At $70k more, Lucid had better have won. However, wait until the Corvette Zora comes out ... and see who dumps who. (should have tested against the E-Ray).
@@dash-ryan this channel or hagerty already did the e ray matchup. Hp per pound still favors the z06 if Cory can be believed? And zero chance they paid just 109k for that vette to. Everyone I've seen here in the ATL is well over 145k. 😀

Drag racing is broken since electric vehicles. You might pull up in a Ferrari 488 and get eaten alive by a 10.000+ pound hummer ev because the road was a bit wet 🤣
What about a real race on the track ? I want the timers telling us the truth about which one is the fastest, not an acceleration in a straight line... It's a UK channel no ?
Z06 for $109,295....lmao Take them to the track instead of straight line runs and that Z06 will smoke that EV. That Vette is truly built for a track. 😎
In all seriousness, I find it somewhat sad to see even the most advanced Corvettes getting smoked by multiple other vehicles. Most Corvettes are simply no longer top competitors, anymore. It's really quite amazing, when you consider that Vettes were once considered the peak of American sports cars.
