ITS FINALLY HERE!! Zora finally got his mid engine corvette.
I cried when when I saw the new c8 fulfilling Zora's dream
Its the best vette ever imo
trainz 4460 productions uhm no it’s not
Long overdue but awesome
RISEUP Gamer yes I can....can you?
I just bought a 2019 Corvette ZR1 :)
So excited and blessed to have such an amazing car!
It took me many hours of playing Forza 4, but I think it was 100% worth it.
Damn, you got me lol
haha
It is a dlc car
“You has us in the first part, not gonna lie.”
LMAO!!!
I'M HERE BECAUSE: 30% CARS AND 70% WANNA WATCH THIS DUDE EXPLAINING THE HISTORY OF A CAR

Got a Chevrolet commercial while watching this.
It wasn't for a Corvette, I guess they know my budget.
You would be surprised at how cheap you can get a C3 or C4, in good condition to.
@@ConnerV even a c5 is relatively cheep, im working as a carpenter and going to sell my ranger at some point for a c5, im only getting manual, I don’t want an automatic sport car(no offense to automatic drivers).
I need the gears to row through lol.
You work hard enough, you can get any car brother. Although, I'd recommend you get a Corvette.
I want an "Everything you need to know and up to speed about your dad and Jessica"
Don't forget Troy and Grandma too!

Lol right
Lmao my thoughts exactly

It is quite impressive that this guy can get the information correct almost every single time, and rarely make errors. Credit to the crew for that, very good job on these up to speed segments i've watched. Something most of the magazines and car type TV shows were never really able to do...
Corvette had an on again off again partner, the Dodge Viper.
Corvette is lonely again... Seriously, a Vette and Viper next to each other always look happy.
DocWolph that disappointed me, how do you talk about a vette or viper and not mention the other?
Vipers didn’t come in v8. Vipers are V10 which many entry level super cars had. The viper was more of an exotic car because of that. Vettes are the one true American sports car.
Eric Meyer I'd disagree with you. The engine choice has little to do with it. Since the viper came onto the scene in the 90s, the two have been directly compared. The biggest difference being the corvette has "entry level" trims, while the viper more competed with the Z06/zr1, which have been on a much closer level.
Now the Corvette has to hang out with the ford gt..
WWHHHYYY
The Guy Who Like Camaros Lol the corvette and ford gt are not comparable.
This is the 5TH video with that Saab 900! PLEASE DO A SAAB HISTORY PLEASE!

Agree
Everything You Need To Know To Up to Speed on a Saab
john reis they built jets then they built cars. Done
Saab isn't real and earth is flat
I know a lot of people don't see the Corvette as a supercar. But it's nice to know when you buy a car it can keep up with a Lambo with a Ferrari and still make it to a 150k miles without needing an extra 50k worth of service
a supra or r34 can keep up with a lambo with proper tuning and you'll probably spend the same as getting a corvette depending on the country you live in and those 2 aren't considered as supercars as well
Zhi xci true...i haven't had a chance to drive either but imagine they probably wouldn't handle as well...i could be completely wrong but certainly on a strip
Zhi xci for something to be a super car I feel like modifications don’t count, because you could ls swap a civic give it 1500hp and make it faster than a Bugatti, but is it a supercar?
Chase Law that's sort of where I was going very true
*bladed angel has joined the chat*
Alex Kilin. Wow
Lmao
;p
;)
The weebette
I think James only does this to yell about his dad and JESSICA
TimothyCow23 lmfaoooo
and his hamsters :^)
I swear to Christ almighty if he doesn't mention either in a video I WILL LEAVE THIS DAMN CHANNEL! No, I won't, but its super fun to wait for references.
ever since i saw the seventh or eighth EYNTK video, i'm franticly searching the interwebs about some sort of info what happened back there.
Pumphrey, if you mentioned it, you hve to spill it any time soon ;)
Jessica doesn't deserve him
Gm just confirmed the mid engine corvette today! April 11th
2dansonfan bruh that was a long time ago lol
zayn b they didn’t confirm it a long time ago fool
Mid engine corvette on sale later this year
2dansonfan the C8 has arrived
Made I China. Nah.
Everything you need to know about James may, Richard hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson
sergai thanabalagan Yes, yes, yes!!!
Jeremy clarkson is an arrogant, meat wasting, environment fisting asshole. Dont need to know more than that
PointlessDrummer that's why people like him. In a world of political correctness and pussies who are easily offended and run to their safe space and demonize people beacause they have a different take on the world, he's a breath of fresh air
Holly fucking YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaas!
*This year, we celebrate the 65 years of Corvette's production since 1953. It started out as an ugly 50s sports car and transformed into a cult American icon. And over those years, it got better and faster. Here's to 65 more years of the good ol' Vette!*
*EDIT:* Zora's dream finally came to life now that Chevy is makin' a mid-engine C8! #Vette65
zora is awesome
I think the look of the Corvette was very fitting for the American 50's, it just didn't perform well
Ugly? You mean modern Corvettes that look ghastly and tasteless? First three generations were some of the best looking cars American automotive industry had ever produced.
MrCorvusC I agree the first 3 generations looked great. Then c4-c6 were mediocre, but the aggressiveness of the c7 vettes is very visually pleasing. Sure, it’s different from the first 3 vettes, but it’s just the natural evolution of it. Everything changes over time.
@@Quicksilver_Cookie yeah....nowadays most cars including the Corvette unfortunately is a car made out of cheap moldable fibre and plastic.....smh
you know what sucks... is when your grandfather has a ls7 zo6 2007 corvette and he says that he's going to give it to his first grandson (me) and then he sells it.....
C R U Media rip
Rip :/
Good now get your ass to work and get a corvette I just got a 06 c6z its the bomb!
🤢

Hey, uh, Donut. You never mentioned the 2009 Stingray concept seen in the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen that everyone wanted but never got.
I think it's the transformers dark of the moon, the convertible silver corvette stingray. That wall cool
@@kierlancin3291 In revenge of the Fallen he was a coupe. But then in Dark of the moon, they ditched the roof and made it a convertible. So yall are both correct
I want to see Sideswipe on the street
Yeah that was 7 year old me’s dream car, until I realized no one could buy it.
God I miss the Stingray centennial concept, it got so close to being produced and it looks absolutely gorgeous
OK, its time for up to speed: James's dad
And then Up to Speed: Jessica
"Under performing little FLOP"
Me: *sweats nervously*
personal jab ;-;
;-;
Jesus fucking christ. Is this the anonymous carholics youtube channel.
Loving it
watergod 83 No, Carholics. As in Alchoholics- but “Car” instead.
watergod 83 I know. It’s a pun, as in “workaholics” or “Partyholics” as in people who have an addiction to cars.
Can you make an up to speed about Jessica?

Make one on the mid enigen v8 ferraris
You have to do a new one now James, with the C8’s release you’ll have to do a mini up to speed where you recap what’s happened since this video
Finally!!!!! Thank you guys!
Now the Dakar Rally
Or
Porsche 959
they already did porsche
They could do another one featuring the top tier of Porsche: the 959, Carrera Gt and 918.
eikonise I want Up to speed Dakar!!
The C3 will always be my favorite, looks-wise. Gorgeous freaking cars.
I just bought a 1978 silver edition c3 Friday, it’s beautiful and the engine sounds amazing
Now I wanna drive mine why TF do I live in Wisconsin
Please dont drive a car like that in snow 😳 not enough ground clearance you'll mess it up 😢
NeatMike you're not the full send type of guy eh
I've heard that in Wisconsin there is weath, snow and weed. None of that helps a corvette owner.
Well Rocket League has a winter map. I don't see any difference.
NO DRIVING SPORTS CARS IN SNOW!!!!!! 😠😠😠😠
Huge oversight in that you didnt mention the multiple wins/domination at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the C5 and subsequent gens. This was game changing for Corvette on the world stage.
Up too speed on your love life.
kit cavanagh or his dad 😂😂
up to speed on chris
Up to Speed, on your son, NOLAN
6:12 What a gold comment "Chevy couldnt put a v8 behind a guy but ferrari and lamborghini were putting v12's behind a guy"
blacktrooper100 that means behind the sear
Seat
It's double gold when the LS V8s were smaller than the bulkier overhead cam driven V12s. WHAT ARE YOU DOING CHEVY!??!?!?
ZR1 2018?
yes he forgot to mention the most powerful non race Vette ever the 755hp 2019 ZR1
pedro benson that's my favourite vette tbh
yes , he forgot about the c7 zr1 which beat the new ford gt's time around vir.
Imran Zuhaili
The "leaked" photps he mention were of the the ZR-1, not the mid engine vette. Must have been recorded before the reveal
The spy photos in the video are the mid engine vette, you can see the side scoops, in the second snow picture it's next to the ZR-1 as well. GM's been driving both the ZR1 and C8 together.
hey it's the LS swap material
Oh dude, a Corvette would be so sick with an LS swap.
Oh wait...
the C4 corvette would be badass with a LS swap
Justin Noker "Yeah, I just swapped in a Corvette engine into my Corvette" Friend: "...wat."
no dude I meant that LS swaps come from a corvette. not into it, they land mostly in rx7 and stuff
DerekSiems "trading out the small block for an LS man!"
U forgot the c7 zr1 with 755 HP
TrollMunchkinz m that car didn’t exist when this came out
@@Madwy-ml6qb Yes, it did exist. The C7 ZR1 was unveiled on November 12, 2017 in Dubai. A lot of UA-camrs made videos about that at that time and this video was uploaded around 3 months later. So the C7 ZR1 should be in this video as the best Corvette ever made.
Carlos RK *ugliest corvette ever made
@@zXPeterz14 bruh
@@zXPeterz14 dude...
Watching this after the ZR1 announcement and I’m imagining Zora’s sheer excitement knowing the newest corvette is not only mid engine but also comes out of the factory faster and with more power than almost anything else on the road.
I do love me some corvetts
Love this guy!
I have never opened a video so fast.
Would love to see an episode on the Jaguar F-Type. Great video as always 😊
Lmao the intros to these always kill me man, it hasn't even been 30 seconds and I'm already nerding out.
I've seen a lot of hate towards the Corvette but c'mon, even Barbie like this car. You can't hate on that
Fart Vader hahaha thats gay...😂
Most people that hate on ‘Vettes could never afford a Civic, much less a ‘Vette.
@@orangetd88 exactly
They only hate it because its American.
There's a video of a Corvette racing another car on yt (I forget what kind of car), and the Corvette lost, and someone said "There is something seriously wrong with that Corvette", and someone replied with "Yeah, it's a Chevy"
4:20 Wtf thats Lars Ulrich
Up to speed on the Pontiac GTO
Bryce Balthis would love to see one for the GTO... On my page I have a few shots of the 04 GTO from our club member...
The C7 is so damn beautiful. WHY ARE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL CARS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME GODDAMNIT
Don't feel bad, a 1990 civic is too expensive for me lol
If you want them they are very cheap the zo6 costs 40 gs today if you look hard enough
@@hpcarthech4387 At that point you might as well get a C8 Corvette, it's only 60k
@@thephoenixhunter84 not everyone wants a mid engine
Up the Speed Prius
Kzy YKSL it will never get up to any speed
@@Jb-of8tl lol this aged well
Yes James we love v8 engines
I like the C4 for being so 80s to the core. Also, pop-up headlights :-D But the C7 with all aero options and sticky tires really is a force to be reckoned with. Big leap forward.
UP TO SPEED: FORD GT!
Grand tour season 1
Not sure about episode no. but James did it
Ford GT has a short story tho
Yes I know these things, I just want to see a version of up to speed on it. Imagine how funny the fight between ford and Ferrari would be!
Jman 1 oh..okay
American super cars :
Ford G.T
Dodge Viper
Chevy Corvette
Forgot the Saleen S7, Vector W8, SSC Ultimate Aero and Tuatara, etc...
@Commando ! *Hennessey
I still don't know how some of you people can thumbs down these videos
It's because they are asshats. Probably feminists. Maybe Jessica and her femmo friends? 🤔
I once saw a corvette c5 Z06... And it’s one of my favourite cars ever since!
God Damn thank you!! Your dad would be proud!
Javier Mendoza his dad left him :(
Xion Heart well shit...eh he'll be fine
"Would"
I'm a big Corvette guy(own a 93 z07 10th anniversary), and was expecting this guy to get a lot of stuff wrong. Especially the C4 part. Completely accurate video👍
Response to end of the video: I'm 23 and dress like you would expect a 23 year old to dress. Not fat either. Been around Vettes since birth, literally.
Brandon Herrera no one asked
Jeremy Schott Your wife did.
That would still be a shit come back if I had one
Jeremy Schott No pos, ta cabron.
These videos are usually very correct but I wish they would go a little deeper with each car. But he’d have to speak quick and with today’s attention spans no one would care 😂😂
James forgot to mention the 2018 Corvette ZR1 lol
No ZR1 is coming out in 2019
Stephen Schafer shut the fuck up
Stephen Schafer nope. First ones were already distributed. Mike from streedspeed717 getting his on end of march
He should have mentioned the aerowagon corvette.

Everything You Need to Know About the Audi UR Quattro/Sport Quattro!
Come on, the grandaddy of all AWD cars as we know them!
Without the UR Quattro or Sport Quattro; there's be no Impreza, Lancer EVO, Celica GT-Four or Lancia Delta!
Dr. Weird I thought subie was that grandad of AWD. Or maybe 4WD
latuba247 - Nope. Audi is who truly set that ball rolling.
Audi Quattro was the first, but Subaru made it better, still does.
Dr. Weird nononono greatgranddaddy of awd is willies jeep
Alvin Chan, when someone says quattro or subaru, the topic is not off-road 4x4, it is rally 4WD. ;-)

TENNESSEE Street raceing nice car bro
That’s fucking sick bro I have a 2020 Camaro SS love Chevy
I can vouch. Corvettes are *the* quintessential American Car.
Jai Rori have you heard of the Chevy Cruze? Get come culture
Please do the Porsche 911
Getting yelled at by James Pumphrey Bald Eagle Edition? I think YES!
Love my 2019 Corvette Grand Sport, with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Buy one now, you’re not getting younger.

made way too early lol. they didnt include the 2018 ZR1
the new ZR1 is 2019 model year but being delivered in 2018. (still should have included it though)
But you’re up to speed now
THE CATCH 😂😂
Please do the CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO
Why are 80% of the comments suggestions?
Mitsubishi 3000GT OR the Pajero (Dakar icon )
Do Pontiac TransAm Firebird pleeeeaaaaazzzzzz!!!!!!!
Pride-Krazy already do check the channel dude !
The TransAM is basically a rebody of the Camaro sold under Pontiac.... And they already did the Camaro. There is however a really good video of the downfall of Pontiac but it isnt an Up to Speed video.
Eddie Toro ik but pontiac did it better than Chevy and Pontiac is now a legend sooo don’t argue 🤷🏽♂️
Veraliot camaro they did
Not arguin with the trans am being better than the camaro but my point still stands
Do the saab !! ❤️
DO THE CELICA ALREADY
TheZombieSurvivalist That's for little girls. Let's say supra.
Nick Angelos ever heard of the celica supra?
TheZombieSurvivalist Yep. Dad had one. Also went through an Mr2 and a MK4 supra. MK4 is obviously superior that's the reason for my other comment
August 6th 2019, had to come back just to hear James say "according to leaked photos, rumor has it that Chevy is working on a new mid engine vet"
The C6 Z06 at $30-35k is such a damn bargain.

Zora's mid-engined Corvette is finally here!
Sadly, it's not called the C8 Zora, but it still uses the Stingray name.
C8 Stingray
They should add a trim called Zora, then again we have the ZR1 and Z06....which I think is named after Zora
I always hated the idea of mid engined Vette.
@@nodo7575 how come?
@@halesso5376 It's rumored that they are....
Do one on Trans Am please !
No competitor to the C6 ZR1 ? W-w-w-what about the Viper ACR ?
Lapin Going for completely different things. Track vs all out power and speed.
I'm not sure the ZR1 wasn't meant for track performance. They just chose a different path, more powah vs. gigantic downforce
zr1 even the z06 could compete with ViperACR, GT-R, or porsche 911 gt3.. but will not win (even in track)
and even if its faster than the r8 or a bmw m3/m4 people would still take the r8 or the bimmer over the zr1
I would definitely take the zr1 over the r8 and bmw. I’ve never seen a zr1 in person but I’ve seen both the r8 and m4 a few times. I guess everybody locks them away
Lapin of course it is still going to be a good track car but not its main focus. It would have much more aero bits if that was there goal.
Great video, I learned a lot and I’d love to see Zora honored. Still seems like you missed mentioning the racing history. The C6R established the Corvette as a dominant sports car on the international stage at Le Mans. Not much different from the GT40.
Zora is drifting his C8 in heaven.
No he is driving he's c4 on heaven
You missed the 2019 Corvette ZR-1, 755 horse power and 715 lb ft of torque. It definitely can compete with other supercars.
Wait is the chevy corvette a sports car or super car?

Everything you need to know about James Pumphrey and his dad that keeps leaving him
Did anyone else hear him say the 1963 vette made 500hp????? Guess this was an editing error?... still, great videos
427s baby
The L88 was actually rumored to have surpassed 500
Can make up to 500 H.P.
Not a Problem with Big Blocks
Muscle cars in the 60’s were common to make that kinda power.
The 427 was rated at 435hp but everyone knows it was underrated
I clicked on this video and scrolled directly to the comments to see if the angry Saab guy was still angry. Rest assured he still is...
Shadow lol i do the same thing😂

Luke Dubnicka from what im seeing this may be a reupload. So it originally came out before the zr1 was announced. Seeing as how the spy shots he talked about were actually the new zr1
BornOfOsiris The new Zr1 and the Zora are two separate cars, theyre still working on the mid engine
Spy photo no. 3 has the C8 proto being tested next to the prototype of the C7 ZR1; a fact confirmed over and over via photos of the actual car online...
