I may not be the best at car reviews but we had a ton of fun 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cleetus McFarland Chevys blue looks like fords “grabber blue”
Hell yeah boi
🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
Do it for dale!
You can see the joy in your face 🤪..I can't wait till you get it home and you can make more horse power and maybe a shot of Nas??😌💯🔥🔥🤜🤛🇺🇲
When the dude tells him you're not going to hurt it.
Cleetus looking at him like do you watch any of my videos dude
hes not going to hurt it as long as all the nanny ware is active on the drivetrain
@@watahyahknow yeah but its Cleetus we're talking about here
I was thinking the same thing need to watch some of his videos lol
can i hoon it?
I had the same thought...I was like so you're new here huh?
“Are you sure you don’t want me to drive the ZR1?” 😭🤣🤣🤣
Lol he seen him take that corner to fast and was like nope not giving you more POWER
Question of the day what generation of ZR1.... C8 ZR1.... is this a spoiler??
@@seanmcpike1503 at the end of the video you could see that it was a yellow C7 ZR1
If you don't ask...you don't get!
Sean Mcpike def c7 😂😂
That Engineer had a fancy way of saying “drop the clutch and let er eat”
No manual option in the C8. He was explaining how to brake stand launch into a burnout.
It won’t do one, lets be honest. Lacking freedom with the engine in the wrong dang place 👎🏻
scotty197878 it’s in a better place,
Jordon S yeah it helps with handling
@@scotty197878 yea its in a better place and would know that if you weren't ignorant
Cleetus going car shopping: "I'm a bit worried how do you get the header in and out of this thing?"
A question no one has asked on that trip... ever....before Cleetus😂
Followup question would be:"where can I place twin turbskis?"
Razzmatazz They already determined that they'll have to sacrifice the rear cargo area for turbskis in yesterday's video, haha!
Sawsall
2 minutes in and I hear “how do you get the headers off?” Already off to a strong start.
I love how concerned he is about how hard it is to modify

@@RobertMorgan Might wanna read the whole thing - "self-destructs" is a joke. Its just a jab that every sports car that supposedly has an "untunable ECU" has been cracked eventually.
@@RobertMorgan They don't use stock ECU's anyway, they replace them with Holley units usually
@@RobertMorgan that's what they said about the gtr when it first came out and within a year of it being out people had that thing cracked like an egg.
That og test mule is a Australian VE Holden SS ute heavily modified the only thing chevy on that OG test mule is the C7 wheels the ute bed has been shortened as well.
Jason Moyle that’s what I was thinking, it looks like a golden front end and the windshield back looks like a vett.
RIP Holden
Yeah , now I want one of those
@@AlexNZL =[
@@AlexNZL =(
As an Aussie I'm weirdly proud that they used a Frankenstein'd VE holden ute to test the mid engine
*VE Ute, Series 2 to be exact
@@1spunkymonkey2 oh is it? The grill looked like the narrower VF.
Sorry you guys lost Holden. Dick move by GM as usual.
@@ChuckBeefOG yeah it's been a pretty rough road for Holden the passed few years. Hopefully we get some Chevy's that aren't taxed out the ass to compensate
@@Beno32145 Yeah, sunken in grille and more square headlight are a VE trait. Sorry about y'all losing Holden too, they were one of my favorites
When Coopers launching, he has that "Don't kill me car, I just wanna pick my kids up at school" look on his face.
He definitely does 😅
Velislide I thought he looked like he was trying to take a massive shit😂😂😂
How would you look if Chevy called you out to review their car, while recording every step for the world to see.. that's alot of pressure, not to wreck the car, crash, and or look like a fool. Cooper may not be infront of the world to see but he's got more experience than people give him credit for. No he's not Cleetus balls out. But he's a contender
Matthew McGrath big facts
Cleetus: Buys Racetrack
Cleetus: Orders C8
Chevy: sorry we missed your call earlier. want to drive something you ordered?
Why is this guy so obsessed aboutaftermarket crap
@@UppinMaine he's made a name for him self modifying and making brand new cars fast and pushing them to their limit. He will more than likely be one the first guys with a 1000+HP c8 once they unlock the ECU because he will have plenty of pre production parts on that car for other companies R&D purposes
@@UppinMaine why are you so obsessed with boring stock cars?
Paul Sturgis dont watch a Cletus McFarland vid and criticize him he’s like the coolest dude on UA-cam if you don’t agree you’re a loser.
@@UppinMaine the dude has a 1600 hp c5 corvette name Leroy why do you think lol
I love how you study the cutaway to see how to take it apart immediately
Orange looks pretty sweet
Cooper always looks like hes in pain when he drives and ol cleet has the most disturbing concentration face lmao
Lmao yup
Hahahaha I thought the same thing.
15:38 lmao
Cleetus looks like he's going to pass out in a sec when he concentrates on a track. :D
True shit😂😭
Dear cleeter:
The c8 must have twin turbski's ,all of us must know its capabilities. That very well may be the mother eagle......
When you know you can’t wait to mod the car. Dissecting the cut away getting ideas on how to change headers and stuff. Most people are like hey i like the paint.
The difference between someone that likes cars and a real car guy
Why tf would you mod a brand new C8? F-ing ricers, man.
@@salazam more power
salazam do u even know what a ricer is dawg haha. know what ur talking ab before u say it
@@clemmy1231 I usually dont say this but I wouldnt!! Especially since the z06 is right around the corner

No its international talk for a petrol head
How serious he got when he took his sunglasses off😳
Channeling his inner Dale!!
Next shirt “ Limiter gets the ladies brother” 🤣🤣
Limit bash gets the gash
Where do I pre order lol
I’ve been several times to spring mountain. Amazing place , great staff, hotel and truly gives you an appreciation of what the cars can REALLY do in a controlled environment. Last time I was there we drove the 2018 ZO6
Any info on costs? I live in vegas and would LOVE to drive on an actual track with corners, especially if I can drive my car.
6'6" man orders the smurf package lol.
Red Ruby, White C7, Blue C8.... See the theme. 😁
Looks amazing with that color
Tripple Blue 💙
He’s papa Smurf. With a patriotic fleet of vetts.
Cleetus' interest spiked when he saw the C8 with a lack of body panels for obvious reasons.
SON OF LEROY!
I wish James was there he could give some really good insight
He should try to buy a crashed one asap when it's possible. Leroy Jr, would be a twin turbo rear engine mondter
SnabboNL or one that was struck by lightning and truck engine swapped
Like seein a beautiful naked lady
Chevy has the solution.
And real people not actors.
Bataan - unlike their horrible tv commercials. Worst ever!
U mean the burnout thing?Dodge already has done it
Engineer: Hold my mullet, I got this"
That's the Corvette crew. Chevy commercials with "real people" are awful with their JD "Pawua" stuff😭😂
Real actors, not people.
Ferrari:don't copy my homework
C8: whaaat it's blue

Dear Chevrolet: I value what this man says about this car more than any other journalist. Putting my order in now this week blue on blue. Well done fat man from Kentucky!!! I have waited my whole life for this car and am pissing my pants excited!
“What a machine.” The moment Garett becomes the new Jeremy Clarkson!
*there is only one Clarkson*
@@paulcarmi8130 Thank the Gods for that
15:03 Yep
There is one Clarkson. There is also one Cleetus McFarland. Clarkson is the car father but soon ole cleet will be the king of all motorsports
Paul Carmi - There is only one, and he’s old, and hasn’t renewed for another season of the grand tour. Ole Cleet is the rising star. The Freedom Factory will probably lead to a TV show...
I gotta admit, the C8 didn’t do much for me until this video. Chevy made a wise decision letting you guys promote it.
It still doesn't do much for me...
I agree 100%
Wild to see the fronts remain completely locked (curious why ABS isn't allowing some rotation?) while the burnout happens. Very interesting to see it push along. So... burnouts outside of water boxes pretty challenging?
This car is a homerun for Chevrolet. I’m a Mustang man but I would rather have one of these than a 2020 GT500.
pigatt1 good man!!👏🏾
He is more florida man than most life long florida residents. Im so proud.
Ayyyy I know you!
@@BabaYagaRacing haha been a long time!
We Florida men agree
Florida is cancer
I love how everyone is just standing there whereas you guys are fully concentrated figuring out how to remove parts from the engine
@cleetus McFarland the seat belt trick is a great suggestion. For some reason even at 44 years old I’ve never heard of that but will now never forget it. Great advice and one of the hundreds of reasons I’m a subscriber. Thank you!
I’m surprised they didn’t incorporate a line lock mode.
Chevy is trying to make the car suitable for the circuit type of racing instead of drag racing. I agree though, would be a nice feature.
This is still the base model. Let that sink in. I can’t WAIT until the Z06 version comes out.
@Danny Hayson if you watch either the first or second outside shot of him doing the burnout you can see it pushing immediately thru the locked front tires. Not enough weight on them to hold it back plus the tire pressures being what they were.
Easy to install
I heard a rumor that the Z06 will have Line Lock.
Spends everything he's got on his own race track. Buys a c8 a few weeks later. Good to see you're doing good!
Keep on Cleetin'
James Broderick I think he’s had one on order for awhile lol
The track was sold like 2 years ago for around $500k, i imagine it was even cheaper now. Throw in a few big company sponsors and it really wasnt as expensive as people think it was. Also hes had the C8 pre-ordered for months now.
how do you know how much money he has and spent? “everything he’s got”... bold statement
You can look up how much the track sold for and in the reveal video he said Coop, James, and him put everything they had into the track
Has too high a credit line for a young man his age.
Bought a big house and lots of land,buys a race track and now a new Corvette.
Not a great idea but lets see how he handles it. I'm pulling for him and I hope he is a great success.
Cleetus need to immediately cut the mufflers off and shoot the exhaust straight out the engine cover. McLaren style . Then two top mount turbskies of course
Papa Dee he’s talking bout the mclaren 600lt but yeah 918 style would be cool
Nathan Bergmann From what I read recently the 0-60 times are 2.8 sec and the 2 McLaren’s are 2.9 and there are a number of cars that are double and quadruple the price of the C8. Can’t wait to see testing from several different sources. I hope they put the car through it’s paces enough to give dependability. It tweaks my britches to see American Engineering come through. Time will tell. For me, this is as exciting as when the 63 split window made its debut. The 67 made a big splash and I love it but my heart is still on the 63. I have turned sixteen shades of green watching this. Lucky devils.👍🇺🇸🤙😃
The timeless Boat Headers. Add some fat slicks and it's an instant Hotwheels car.

Chevy Guy: You're not gonna hurt it if you go too much.
Apparently he's not a subscriber...
Cleeter you gotta get the intro, “hell ya brother” as a ringtone in the App Store!!
Hell yea brother your on another scamlikely call 😂
The OG test mule looks like a cross of a Carrera GT and Holden Maloo.
They used a holden ute for the base of the test mule
Looked like half Ute half Vette
@@Dragonhal_Z and a porshe transmission lmao
I would love to copy that.
Rip Holden
14:48 you know cleet is serious when he takes the shades off 🤣🤣
Roses are red, cleetus’s c8 is blue. When he goes full pull he says “WHOOP-DE-DOO”
ONYX_LEGACY1415 underated comment 😄
Lee Capper 😂
Props to you Cleetus. Pretty sure out of all the people doing videos on this car right now, you're the ONLY ONE who thought "You know what, I bet people will wanna know what it looks like underneath. Let's show 'em!"
"are you sure you don't want me to drive the zr1?".
"You're good my man"
LMAO damn.
He literally shut him down 😂😂😂
What time?
@@taloneagle3595 17:03
Cleet got shut down.
Got shut down fast!
Cleeter has become the new Jeremy Clarkson without the Brit accent. “What a machine” ! 😎
Glasses come off 👽
WARP DRIVE BABY ! ! !
He needs to yell POWER more and drift it.
Right now, I'd bet Cleetus is waaay more popular then new Top Gear, and maybe as well known as Clarkson, but with less negative press (like there's zero stories of Cleetus doing the stuff that got Clarkson sacked from the BBC) and better grassroots interest.
And teeth aren't green.
@@baronfyrewhine Typical dental condition inherent to most Brits.
@@allanpolk2681 That it is.
The corvette just went from being known as the "supercar killer" to the "hypercar killer" once you get some more power into that baby, hot damn the v10s and v12s better watch out!!
Just wait til the ZR1 edition comes out or just the Z06 with the Z07 package both of them should be a world of difference between them and the Stingray but them talking about how good the handling is in the Stingray they don't even need to build the Grand Sport
@@keefespencer1173 the c7 zr1 will still be a better platform than the new z06 tho
diabetus barber how? The engine in the front was limiting traction decreasing track times and 0-60 times. How would the c7 be better?
Next time you should bring Leroy for the official Corvette driver to drive
Yes. The monster vette!
Cleetus: *sees cutaway C8 similar to Leroy*. Cleetus: *breathing intensifies*
You know a Leroy C8 would probably break many engineers brains
Engineer : this is how you drive a C8 Corvette
Cleetus: Hold my Fastest Corvette manual trophy in the world.
Orozconleche like comparing apples to oranges though.... similar in name only.
Bought a racetrack, lots of cool racecars, and now a c8. I'm doing something wrong.
That's badass they had you drive a few of their cars. That must be one hell of a feeling that they reached out to you for this.
95% of the time I'm ok with having just enough money to pay the mortgage on a small house, pay the bills, feed the kids, drive my 13 year old cars and maybe go to an all inclusive every few years.
Then I watch a vid like this.
What's an all inclusive? 🤔
Payed lap dance 🤘
Only 13 year old cars 😂😂
BEARD0 vacation I would assume
BEARD0 an all inclusive is a vacation like to a resort where everything is included. You don’t pay for drinks or food unless you leave the resort. So you can literally just stay at the resort all week ( which is usually rather big ) and just practice getting drunk all week and doesn’t cost any extra. The only resort I can think of off the top of my head is in Cancun Mexico. Wish they had one in Puerto Rico, sadly they do not.
You: yesterday’s maroon corvette
The guy she tells you not to worry about: this blue c8
I can't be the only one that thought the maroon paint with beige interior was freaking mint. (And no I'm not a boomer, I'm a 20 year old engineering student).
Bob Kermit personally as a 19 rear old I loved the paint but not a big fan of the interior
@@bobkermit3452 I'm only 24, but all I can think about is all the grime and oils that are going to accumulate and turn the beige ugly colors. But it does look nice
@@bobkermit3452 I loved the way it looked but I'd hate to try and keep that interior clean
it looked like Jordan Maron's Miami blue ford gt
I have never been jealous of anything in my life until now .you are my hero .I love your video's. My son is in the AIRFORCE in Florida and every time you put a new video we are sharing it with each other and our friends. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Great to see they show you everything about the car, not just putting on a show. No marketing BS, just real car people.
Cleat looks straight up like he’s about to pass the hell out there towards the end of the run.. like the brownies just kicked in full gear all the sudden.. reminded me of those g-force videos of all the people just fallin in to the coma for the military flight training deal..
Z Ack where at
God dammit I just commented basically the exact same shit, minus the brownie part, and had to go delete it to not look like a hack. I didn't start watching the channel until right after they ran the first 7 in Leroy, and this is what I've thought every time he makes a pass. It's fuckin creepy lol. Looks like he can set a record and just be like "Cool, man" like fuckin Matthew McConaughey.
It was when the sunglasses came off when you knew ol Cleeter had just decided he didn't feel like getting outrun.
So we all could see his entire Game face
Y'all need to read that in the Duke's narrator's voice to fully appreciate what the man wrote. ;-)
I am really impressed at how quite it is in the cabin, even when ripping around the track with the window down.
14:46 most people look badass when they put their sunglasses on, fuck me it looks so badass when cleet is taking his off
Cleet: "I need more power!"
..Chevrolet: are we a joke to you?
But seriously coming from 1000+ hp cars that's truth.
Apparently there's a 700hp model coming soonish, there were test mules with enough torque to crack the engine cover.
its how the cars able to put the HP/TRQ to the ground that matters and Chevrolet is pretty good at that.
You sure that wasn’t Clarkson driving right then? Sure sounded like him...🤣

2:01 Chevy: THE FUTURE OF CARS!!
Car owner that understands how cars work: maintenance is gonna be terrible.
I talked with the corvette manager at the local chevy dealership, (he was out here with them). Supposedly the serviceability isn't horrible. My dealership services a large number of ZR1's (including mine) and Z06's so the dude knows his shit.
Ug yeah looks like you have to pull the motor to change the plugs
$320 for the dealer to pull the dipstick and check the oil level.
I'll stick with my 2011 Grand Sport. Easy to work on.
It'll be like changing a clutch or maintaining the torque tube on the prior model. Just drop the rear subframe
I've read theres a removable panel behind the seats to access the front of the engine
2:39 it looked like a McLaren for a moment.
LI DnmT It’ll be in the shop as much as a mclaren. ;)

The car is too smart to burnout. Definitely wasn't built to just spin the tires, it was built to grip n go. Good video cleet.
too many nannies in it's computer, is all
@@Veikra nah its mid engine. so much weight on rear wheels equals traction. You'd need a grippy tire in the front and a slippy on the back to do a rolling burnout. just look at it when he tried. Front tires were locked and it just pushes it
