My dad has a c6. He likes his c6. He test drove a c8. He didn’t like the c8. He’s fat.
It makes sense...
Haha!
This video settled it for me, I need to lose 80 pounds.
Not surprising from a C6 owner
I had 2 C6s, they was pretty comfy. I'm skinny but 6'2", didn't really have issues but would've liked the pedals to be further away and wheel closer to me without having to sit fully upright/knees hitting the wheel. Anyone knows how the C8 feels like compared to C6 when it comes to leg room?
Someday, some millennial will be at a car show with one of these... Retired... With shorts... And some shirt with his own car on it and the generations before it (and possibly ones after)...
By that point this will be old , and the c10 will be what the retired millennial wants
I doubt that.
Hehe millennial with c8? Hehe
Best fun affordable car mx5ND Gen Xers already want C10s, check the prices recently 😂
No, no! My C12 is best C12.
It has electrolytes!
I've lost 60lbs since the C8 got released. Now I just need the money!
I would like this comment, but it currently has 69 likes and I don’t want to take that away from you
congrats man
Gets an job at Goldberg, Goldberg, and Goldberg. Gains it all back because they need him out on the road a lot and It's hard to stay healthy while traveling.
@@NotBen101 Haha! That's funny because my last job had me traveling roughly 75% and that's where I gained all my weight! I was around 265 when I started and when I left that job for my current one I was hovering around 310! The good news is that I'm down to 238, which is 2lbs below my ideal weight of 240 (I'm 6'6", so too much more and I'll be twiggy). I'm focused on toning it all up! Still eyeballing that C8, now I just need the money! :)
@@drfuzzydonut Been WFH for a year due to covid. Been farting whenever I want and sleeping 8.5 to 9 hours typically. Down from 184 to 173.
2020 Chevy finally makes a mid-engined Corvette and the world goes to shit.
Obi Wan: I sense a great disturbance in The Force, as if GM made the Corvette mid-engined and millions of voices cried out.
That's just the force being balanced out. The world got so good so briefly by the mere introduction of the C8 that it took a global pandemic and borderline civil war in the US to balance everything back out.
@@tacticaltemplar875 Borderline civil war?
@@cwheels01 I mean... Yeah? The social tension in this country has been pretty palpable over the last couple months, hasn't it? You live in the US?
@@tacticaltemplar875 I live in the U.S., but I don't see a borderline civil war. Most people are still just going about their lives.

YOU CAN HAVE ONE VENT
"The shortest route to satisfaction is through modest expectation." Hello, new Tinder bio.
That’s what she said about your chode haha
@Andrew Humphrey it started as a childish joke and ended as something way too relatable.
Andrew Humphrey bro, this is why I don’t internet this early, I wasn’t ready for that 😂
The easiest way to be happy is to have low expectations... Nice!
Oh poor you: you haven't figured out women only want Chad on Tinder and it doesn't matter how funny or charming you think you are if you're not him. Stay away, simp!
"If this is a poor man's Ferrari, I don't want to be rich."
Don’t worry, it isn’t. It’s a knockoff McLaren.
Only thing a Ferrari will run. This cheap motherfucking C8 will break in a couple of months. If you push it to the limit. Check the videos C8 breaking down. People think it's a baddest fucking car. Trying to do the same stuff in it as a GTR,R8 and Acura NSX. Only to blow the engine and breaking the axle. It's a cheap piece of shit build by a company that went bankrupt twice.
Once bankrupt, in 2009, in the US. Obviously not your country. Quit talking about the hAlO ferraris when this car is better, with a lower price. Gotta be an idiot to think otherwise
@@samchu5890 So I'm a fan of European cars too, especially Mercedes, but you live in such a bubble to even THINK of comparing a Corvette's reliability to it. I can tell you only play with precious Ferrari's in Video games. *In real life, Ferrari's are really finicky and unreliable.* The service on Ferrari's is ridiculous for how little you actually get to enjoy them. You never own a Ferrari, _A Ferrari owns you_ . If you think breaking axles are bad? Ferrari's will break literally everything else. I love the artwork in their design, I think they're stunning cars, but they are just weekend toys. A 911, Corvette (especially older C5's and C6's with LS engines), and GTR will drive for many years with many hundreds of thousands of miles. A Ferrari can't even hope to get 20,000 on the odometer before it literally combusts into flames and gets shoved into a collector's basement 6 stories under. It's sad that such beautiful driving machines get that fate, but that is the reality. I will take literally any other Supercar over a Ferrari. It's a garage ornament, sadly.
@@francismoree This is single handedly one of the strongest clap backs I've ever read and I agree wholeheartedly.
High points of 2020:
•Mid-engined Corvette
- Beyer Monsanto loses huge lawsuit over Round Up
- Successful NASA/ Space X rocket launch
- Colleague of Jeffrey Epstein brought in for ongoing investigation
- Gambling in video games receives unprecedented scrutiny from various worldwide authorities
- Cure to "unprecedented global pandemic" found to be sunlight
- I'm finally finishing my bachelor's degree this December and graduating
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake
- Next generation of consoles launching this year
- Deadly Premonition got a sequel
... Now I'm just reaching.
12ealDeal So, exactly like Joel D said, the 2020 high point is the mid engine Corvette.
Supra 2020
@Adam Lolno for us back here in europe is way more worth it than the vette, its way cheaper to get a supra 2020 here than any other brand if you look for the same horse power, talking about Porsche, BMW and other european brands. That makes for me (being the owner of one) the best sports car to get for the price.
@Adam Lolno the mustang is about 96.000 euros, 119.000 dollars if we convert it, you can get the supra 2020 for 81.000 euros, 95.000 dollars converted, not counting here how much the v8 would drink up, and gas is extreamly expensive here
'This car is not for fat people'
I sure do like it when people don't sugarcoat things. Gives me a little hope tbh

"When studies peg your average consumer-base at 59 years old, you need a way to lower the number so you're not sharing the same demographic as people who watch NXT every Wednesday."
Jesus, Roman.
All I heard was peg me
Consumer base of 59 sounds like the same as hd motorcycles which means in 20 years no buyers left
Yeah that was pretty savage
"Every drive with a c8 is a mission into the slipstream"
That sounded so cool I might actually be sold on a Corvette for once.
I’ll take mine with cheese after you take it off the grill.
only correct answer
I want my buns and onions on the grill too.
Why do you want a Corvette with cheese on it?
Seriously, guy at work who owns a C5 has asked dat question 😑
A1, real bacon bits, huge slice of sharp cheddar sealing it all in.
I guess GM really was prepared for social distancing with that center console
There's structural components running through it. I think it's a clever way to hide that. Also has to feel like being a fighter pilot, and that's badass, too. Lol
GM was also prepared for social distancing with the frunk, ya know just incase your dog has covid.
No more traveling hands moving from the gear lever to your passengers soft thighs
Omg 🤣

This car will force you to look the part. Cargo-shorts. Goretex shoes.
I already wear these. Where's my C8?
Now I gotta wait 12 years to hopefully find one for $15k 😂
More like 25k
Try 40k. No way you'll find something that's practically the 2007 nissan gtr of it's time with the kind of factory performance it has for that price.
No, it probably will be 12k because no way are you're going to find one in 12 years that isn't an endless money pit which is falling to pieces, because most of its engine components are cheap plastic, the whole thing is built like an overpriced laptop and none of the ports will plug into a diagnostic computer.
The C9 will be going back to front engine so I doubt itll drop in value by that much.
@@jamesharding9252 Sounds like you're talking about a BMW 335i...or really any BMW for that matter. (Have you seen how much Plastic is in the 3 series these days? LOTS, LOTS IS THE ANSWER).
I'm a hardcore Euro Snob (I own a Euro Car for God's sake) yet even I'm aware of the solid reliability of the LS and LT Corvette Platforms. Out of the box, they're solid and reliable and you sound like one helluva an amateur for not knowing that. I love how someone asked you to name plastic parts in the C8 Engine and you never replied back. Proof you have no clue about the LT platform. Scotty may shit on GM all the time for Plastic...but even he gave the Corvette a pass. And as a Euro Fan, I CAN ASSURE YOU. Our cars may not have plastic on the interior...but we DO HAVE PLASTIC in our engine bay!!
Now we just need the C2 review to complete the series

God: "If you want a mid-engine, I have to give the world a virus."

@@CertainlyCaro Ha ha, this is what I was thinking when he mentioned the fatty part! "Well I'm sorry sir, how about this muscle car with the plus sized seats where your massive girth won't negate the millions spent getting the weight balance perfect."
@@anydaynow01 nonono, he'd force the salesman over to the Camaro because he wants a "Real Man's Car" and not the Chevy Blazer they were trying to get him to buy
that's one way to shed the boomer image
Karen's who buy suburbans.
"Rich man's car" that's still cheaper than some new luxury pickups
Exactly - trucks are stupid overpriced
While that's true, this car almost requires you to have another car unless you're 20's and single. Trucks are overpriced but at least you won't really need to have anything else.
Cheaper than a optioned out mid level TrUgH.
Usually pickups have very high mark downs at years end to clear the lot. All pickups manufactured by the US automakers sells for a profit. With Kung Flu, the mark downs right now are much more extreme than during a year end sale. Just bought a $46k pickup for $32k.
@@bigmarkdarula Luxury pick up trucks still offer utility that may offset some of their cost. It could be that someone runs a business where a truck is needed to tow or plow and may generate significant annual income that offsets its cost. It's unlikely a Corvette will generate any additional income to offset its cost. Additionally, a Corvette doesn't present much additional value as a tool in assisting in other activities for those who are just wealthy. It won't pull a boat or a side by side or an RV.
This is to the Italians today what the NSX was in the 90s. Reliable, efficient, cheaper and still fast as shit.
Good job GM
Reliable ish, it's still a GM not a Honda.
Meanwhile Ford: did I just lose my Blue Collar super car title?
r slover wasn’t there a leak from GM that the engine only lasts like 60k miles with the V4 system?
@@Tox1cAshes
Unlikely. I've had the same system in two LS motors and both were still ticking when we sold the cars at 150k.
I don't like it, but unless you don't regularly change the oil you will be fine.
@@boston7704 V4 was never in an LS motor and if you are trying to say you ran an LT motor from the C7 up to 150k that is remarkable in that quickly of time.

Most underrated comment ever. I can't believe it only got ten likes in seven months.
Had one of these in our shop a couple months ago because the owner hated the silver wheels his car came with so he was getting black ones installed. My first reaction was "Theres no way GM actually built this".. And I'm still blown away every time I see one
Gm: forward thinking with their flagship car while ignoring everything else in their lineup.
They dont. All of their cars is great. Whats not to be compared with their cars?
@@RBZ06LT6 BAHAHAHAHA
So they're basically following Chrysler's strategy? They make weird, "exotic" cool stuff to appeal to a certain type of enthusiasts, while the rest of their mainline products are sort of falling to neglect. They fame themselves on the Challenger Hellcat Redeye Demon (can't remember all those over-the-top names), Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, and Ram pickup (which certainly has the most "bro" appeal of the Big Three's trucks). Going off image more than quality. Better at making stuff that a teenager would put posters of on their wall than anything anyone would actually want to buy - and those who do buy them do so more as a statement than because they are good vehicles. This is my understanding based on what I see (including by RCR), I admittedly haven't driven or even ridden in one in years - last I saw was a mid-2000s Charger V6 I drove that felt like a total piece of crap.
@@RBZ06LT6 bro, GM makes shit. Their cars are great, since when?

"C8's not fast by 2020 standards"
Who's 2020 standards? Doug DiMuro's? The C8's a rocket. And the thing is, it achieves that kind of speed without needing stupid amounts of power, because it puts all its power to the ground so much better than all those front-engined, rear-wheel-drive brutish muscle cars. The Mustang GT500 may be able to beat it from a roll, but it can't from a dig.
I agree, especially considering his examples, the Mustang GT500 and Camaro ZL1 1LE (why didn't they just call it the IROC and be done with it?) are the top of the line, last bit of juice we can get, muscle cars. The C8 is in it's base form has comparable specs but is so much more comfortable to deal with. Conceptually it's like a peaked roided out varsity track star competing against an Olympic athlete warming up for the games in a couple years; the HS kid may win initially, but the Olympian is just getting started.
"You get the sleek yet jagged look of Michael Bay's Transformers but with performance vastly superior to Michael Bay's Transformers."
That was fantastic!
"Is that a Thunderbird?"
Just imagine the possibilities
Only relation i can get is comparing the car with one of the starships of the series. And i would be REALLY amazed if an actual young person (i mean, in their young 20's or so) actually knew about that.
My family and I saw an orange C8 when went to brunch recently and my dad thought it was - and I kid you not - a new model of Bugatti! He didn’t say Veyron or Chiron; he just asked me if Bugatti released a new model recently. When I told him it was the new Corvette, his jaw hit the ground.

@will smith Yeah, they'll boycott Chevrolet for bodyshaming them lol
@will smith actually they tend to look extremely malnourished. And they're comprised of numerous generations.
Goals, I guess. It's nice to have a handful of cars made in the last fifteen years I could see myself retiring into, rather than lusting over cars made in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s exclusively. The ubiquity of the Corvette name will make parts a little easier to source than something like a Lotus.
PlotTwist embarrassing as hell! 😂
C8 looks like car from the Meguiars package where they didnt want to license a real car, so they were like: "Lets create a sports car and put it on the package!" But its not actually a real car. It has the right proportions and shape, but if you look at the details you would think it appeared to have come from the desk of a 14yo.
Debadge it and done. I would personally add a vinyl logo of the impala just to mess with people
The base C6 and C7 were the same deal.
@@mtnman1984 they were both good looking cars. What I didnt like about the C7 were the rear light, other than this it was fine.

Great review style....a little comedy brings the subject matter down to reality in a way I never knew was missing from auto reviews! NIce.
This is honestly some of the best writing I've heard from RCR in a good amount of time. Fucking incredible car.
Mr. Regular doesn't denigrate the car and its driver to make it seem regular, he simply brings the legends back to earth and presents the car in a realistic way. And none of us complain. We appreciate that. Brian's putting that English degree to great use, making Corvettes and Ferraris seem normal while squeezing humor out of a Corolla.
"People looked at me when I exited the vehicle."
Are you sure they weren't wondering why you had a GoPro strapped to your forehead lol.
the way you review cars brings me back to my childhood. i grew up in a family of car mechanics and fishing enthusiasts on the most die hard working class west side neighborhood champaign, illinois has to offer. i heard all about the corvettes when i was a kid and this review gave me a brief reflection of 4th grade me. id love to just drive this car.
This is like a GTA style version of a Ferrari, in the best way possible.
Mid engined because the C7 ZR1 was the limit of how powerful they could make that layout before people started to kill themselves. In other words, the mid engine layout was the only path forward to a faster car.
I never in a million years thought I would like a corvette. The C7 was alright but the C8 is awesome. It actually looks like a super car now
You fool. It always was a super car. Even when it was slow it knew what it was going to be. It had a dream and by golly did it follow it. Why do i sound so American wtf?

What a time we live in where a 0-60 time of 3 seconds or less is considered ‘acceptable’ by RCR lol
He's driven too many cars now lol
Needs more 1980's V8 "regular cars" on his channel. Stuff like 4.1 Cadillacs, 1986 442 Olds with the 307, 305 Monte Carlo SS, any carburated Ford Panther, a 1980 Dodge "Prospector" conversion van with 4 rows of red velour captains chairs and a fold out bed, complete with CB radio and rad black paint with red/silver graphics.
He's becoming doug demuro. "0-60 in 5 seconds it gets a 2 for acceleration"
"29 avg MPG from Montana to Pennsylvania"
Well, least the engine has been broken in before Mr. Regular touched it.
"So you're not getting the same demographic that watches NXT every wednesday."
Damn! The pro wrestling fan in me just popped for an RCR pop culture reference.
They have references to many eras' in pro wrestling just have to go thru to back catalog of videos you will find them
Living in Bowling Green means I see some every day and sometimes I get to drive around with them. Coolest feeling ever.
Technically, the C4 was a front mid-engine layout, since the front of the engine is behind the theoretical front axle line. Doing this did worlds for the weight distribution and handling of the car. It was the first to be able to be used as a track car from the factory.
That and the C5 half measure with the rear transaxle really helped with the weight distribution and they were able to keep their excellent braking distance, so much so they had to start detuning the Corvettes (and Vipers) for international competition. The new 5.5L engine regulations was the final nail in the front midship layout, so in the name of efficiency Corvette needed the true midship layout to get as much power to the ground as possible early out of corners (hence the insane 0-60 time from a sub six figure car) instead of relying on rolling out the power down later.
The 4th gen F-body was too. That doesn't count though 😄
"Nah bro, Carpe into those DMs!"
Nice.
Beat me to it. That line was awesome lol
Watched that one today
Kinda stolen from Rick and Morty.
The C8 has the most uninspired styling. I’m sure the engineering and performance are stellar- they better damn be, they’ve been working at it forever. Regardless, the styling looks like they took pictures of every Italian mid-engined car of the last 5 years, put them in a blender, and poured the concoction over a 2003 Ferrari 360 Modena. From yards away, it looks like some exotic spaceship is approaching; then when it gets closer you say, “Nah, it’s just another Corvette”.
If someone drove from Montana to Pennsylvania, then you know it's really comfortable.

It looks like what Ferrari did decades ago. The C7 looks flashier.
No this thing is ugly. I aint no corvette-purist because I dont really like them but the older ones are so much nicer
@@turtle-balloon I have to agree. The interior is gawdy and looks like some shit concept car you see on some article on Facebook your non car friend shared and all the comments are just assholes tagging their asshole friends and the replies are just :o faces and "likes" to said tagging. Just so impracticle and obnoxious.
darkworlddenizen Personally I didnt think too much of the interior. The thing that I dont like is the proportions and shape of the car. It looks short and tall. I do like cars that have flat backs but on the c8 it just looks weird. The outside feels like a bad lambo/ferrari mashup copy
@@turtle-balloon that's how i feel
“Faster than post lent sex” OMFG I DIED 😂
Wow, this is the most positive review I’ve seen on this channel.i think the C8 is definitely a step forward for the corvette and I hope it gets better and the car doesn’t look like a Ford Thunderbird is hilarious because the design and body of both cars are vastly different lol
"Attention all second-class citizens, please report to the PASSENGER SEAT."
2:57 Amen. Sports cars should not allow their drivers to be fat. Your car is sporty thus so should you.
First time viewer here, saw the C8 had to click to watch. Outstanding dialogue !!! subscribed!!
I love your vids man. Love that deep voice too.
this car screams “Yes i’m finally going to leave my wife and kids for that teenager who’s in love with me”
Hell yeah!I'm leaving too but I'm taking my kid with me!
They shouldve called It a Fiero
A true American Beauty
This comment screams virgin incel
@@marcusinfinity9386 Heyyoooooooo
“This is a car unfriendly to fat.” * smiles evilly *. Good
How do you like being such a piece of trash? Go fuck yourself.
Ben awe bens fat

3:17 "A gunt"!!!!! Love it!!!
Fantastic videos! You gained another subscriber. Just got done watching all your corvette videos, and couldn't help notice you don't have one of a C2. If you ever find yourself in Central Illinois, I've got a 67 c2 you can review. Its not shiny and polished, its a barn find that finally got saved and driven all the time.
"The corvette is no longer for boomers"
I disagree, Mister Regular. Now, every boomer who wants a Mid/Rear Engined "super" car, but couldn't afford a Ferrari or even a Porsche can now go to their Chevy dealer and buy a Corvette and get ALLL the attention they wanted and then some, because they haven't gotten enough already apparently.
That's true, some rich Mellenials too. Until the EMTs have to pry them out with the Jaws of Life like that one Eddy Murphy movie.
I think the point is the average boomer won't appreciate what this car has to offer even if they can stuff themselves behind the wheel. About 2/3 of the boomers I know don't even own a computer, so making a car that assumes one has tech pretty much eliminates the attraction for people whose idea of tech is the electric garage opener. But don't worry, the boomers still have the Dodge Challenger.
Mr Regular is Right. The C8 was built for my generation. The generation that's taken to appreciate the traditions of yore to embracing the technology that we came to being used to.
Boomer's won't even bother with half of the things this car has to offer, let alone enjoy it for what it Actually is.
Yeah, lets be honest here , a "sports car" for Zoomers or Millennials is a JDM shitbox with a Chinese turbo.
Boomer = anyone that isn't unashamed of liking things that are American or somewhat masculine.
From the corvair, to the fiero, to this...
GM took this long to fix their rear midship car design...
Congrats on your test!
Man that was great I laughed all the way through the entire video
Haha “faster than post-Lent sex” and “hvac happy trail” made my Monday.
I am so happy you guys exist.
We have similar brains.
It gives me hope.
I appreciate it.
So Thanks
Fun watch, great use of lines/vocabulary/quips/social commentary and car stuff!
Love the video, but your words are an enigma to the machinations of my mind. thank you.
"Lower to the ground than octogenarian nuts" - holy shit my sides
Wife: "Why are you upgrading our TV speakers?"
Me: "Because the Roman said this day would come."
'Gunt.'
Had me crying with laughter in horror.
I got to see one of these up close at a stop light the other day and man it really is an amazing looking car, especially in that blue color it was in
Now we only need the Viper to return. I'd be happy with a V8 really, as long as it just comes back ;(
Imagine a V10 Hellcat engine tho
No V10= not a Viper
@@ultraguy8771 That's correct, but it's really hard to believe in times where car manufacturers are forced to put in smaller engines or slapping an electric motor on it more and more each year. The V10 is a dying breed too, I myself would be happy if they manage to put at least a 6 liter V8 in the car.
@@Corvolet5 "I'd be happy with at least a 6 litre v8" is such a bizarre yet catagorically american statement to hear from any market outside the US.
@@rustynumbat I'm from Germany, funny enough. Best we can do is 4 liter V8 with turbochargers.
Roman's intro was exactly what I said when I saw the thumbnail.
OH SNAP
