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

@@synergies7672 depends on the cars weight I suppose, my dads lil escort zx2 manual is decent, but it’s so easy to drive and so meh I’m not having much fun just punching the gas anymore.
Don’t worry, I’m not banging off the rev limiter or abusing the thing, but I’m way to comfortable with 8 seconds to 60. Very slow anymore. I do all the maintenance and own my own vehicle, a 2003 Ford ranger xlt, it’s a nice truck, bought her for 1600 and after the maintenance and with only 82k miles she is now worth 5-6k I’m happy to say.
I’m working as a carpenter and going to sell the ranger for a c5 corvette, just came back to this video to see more of em.
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

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.
*bladed angel has joined the chat*
Alex Kilin. Wow
Lmao
;p

The weebette
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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
This is the 5TH video with that Saab 900! PLEASE DO A SAAB HISTORY PLEASE!

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

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.

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
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!!!!!! 😠😠😠😠
bless this chubby man, I just broke up with my gf and this cheered me up... cheers
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.
Your brother is Lars Ulrich? Lmao
Ikr I just noticed that 😂...#metallica for life
@@aidenunderdown7831 bruh
I'll just say it at this point. We need James (the Donut Media guy, not the one from Metallica) to cover Reign in Blood.
@Damion Castator SLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
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
You explaining the history of a car we love, makes your channel that much higher than just a car video!
I once saw a corvette c5 Z06... And it’s one of my favourite cars ever since!
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!"
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.
I'm just stopping to say thank you guys for the videos, I really enjoy them. And thanks for the banging song. POP UP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS!!! I ROCK IT ALL THE TIME
Love all your videos! Keep up the great work man.
Up too speed on your love life.
kit cavanagh or his dad 😂😂
up to speed on chris

It's double gold when the LS V8s were smaller than the bulkier overhead cam driven V12s. WHAT ARE YOU DOING CHEVY!??!?!?

That’s fucking sick bro I have a 2020 Camaro SS love Chevy
I have never opened a video so fast.
I do love me some corvetts
"Just like when my friend Chris came out" hilarious lol. Another great episode!
Brilliant story and delivery James, loved it mate. I have a C5, absolute Dream Car mate. Keep up the great work buddy..
Up to speed on the 3000gt or nissan silvia
rpmover9000 Pretty sure he did the s-chassis already
Mason Pellegrini I believe the s chassis was one of the very first ones
Would love to see an episode on the Jaguar F-Type. Great video as always 😊
I have a 2017 C7 Z51 with the 3LT package, and that car (besides being a mouthful) is such an awesome car! It’s literally my favorite thing on this planet, and hopefully one day I can get a C7 ZR1!
Well I must share my thoughts on this car. Thanks to this video and several others I managed to buy myself a 2000 C5 MT. The car is amazing even though it sometimes is hard to handle on the Polish roads. It also crackles, isn't very well fitted in terms of interior elements and is loud AF. for an average European customer it might be a total brute, but hey, that was the point of it. It didn't have to be a luxurious, well-silenced car, but a fast sportscar that kicks ass on the road and track. I think GM did a great thing and I hope I'll finish all the repairs soon. The Vette deserves far more recognition, as it redefined the American sports cars forever.
Lmao the intros to these always kill me man, it hasn't even been 30 seconds and I'm already nerding out.
Thursday have become my fav day of the week thanks to this show and the daddy issues
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

Everything You Need To Know About: *Ayrton Senna*
I C A R U S yes
This please
I C A R U S Just watch the movie Senna. No one will top that on the accuracy of Senna.
I'll tell you everything you need to know: he said flat out karting is better than any other motorsport.
“I started racing go-karts. And I love karts. It's the most breathtaking sport in the world. More than F1, indeed, I used to like it most.”
-Ayrton Senna
So stop buying more crap on your 4 seater commuter car and get yourself in a real race vehicle. Once you drive a kart you will see no point in racing passenger cars.
I C A R U S everything you need to know about Jessica Alba
4:20 Wtf thats Lars Ulrich
I really love your channel, and “up to date” might be the beat.
My grandfather still has his Corvette to this day and I hope he passes it down to me
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 😂😂
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.
DesalWrlds not production
James, you definitely have to reshoot this episode now that the new C8 is out! In 2 minutes of scrolling through the comments, I'm surprised to see how few people have mentioned this. Also the C8 is definitely worth its own Bumper to Bumper episode. Do it!
Dude I love you man.... Nakupenda 🤣❤️
If you make a video on Saab, your dad will come back and with a tear in his eye tell you its the best day of his life, pat you on your back, and tell you he's proud of you.
I've also read online you can place tools in a circle, put sandals and white crew cut socks in the middle, chant "Hi Hungry, I'm Dad," then touch the thermostat and he will appear.
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.
1969 Stingray Corvette. Red with a white racing stripe down the middle. Dual straight pipes with no muffler. Best car you’ll ever see or hear.
I just got myself a c4 1985 factory white corvette as my first project car . I'm happy.
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...
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"
I've never been a big fan, but do like the split windows and up to 69s though. Although l saw the new C8 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale AZ recently, and am really impressed with it. I saw it on the tubes before we went, but looks incredible in person and is something to behold. That's saying a lot from a lifelong Mopar enthusiast, and totally give a big thumbs up to the bow tie boys on this one 👍🏼 🇺🇸 🏁🏁
Hrsprs is my favorite word when talking cars. Thanks man
Please do the Porsche 911
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? 🤔

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"
I’m getting a 09 3ZR1 UB next month it’s being shipped. I’ve never been so excited over snything I’m so hyped
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.

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!

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
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
An update on the corvette would be awsome, i use to love this video and its crazy to think the 2019 zr1 wasnt even out when this came out
1967 Corvette fastbacks and 1971 Corvette convertibles are the most BEAUTIFUL and GREAT Corvettes ever made!
