The reason they don't share lap times is like you said, if the times aren't good then that could potentially hurt their sales I would imagine. I do think they should share the times even if they're not good at least after they sell thousands of them or when that generation is coming to an end. Like we should definitely know what the C6 ZR1 ran by now because it doesn't matter anymore because the car is older and not in production anymore.
You might be one of the few people that can exploit 1,200hp on track, and in reality i cant wait to see you get your hands on these cars. Somebody should start crowd funding your testing of these hypercars.
Great video. can't wait to see you get the new place configured. Good luck on the purchase of ZR1. I am with you, Chevy should share some numbers. They did hint at some numbers a few months back, but never backed them up. Of course we are still waiting for Ford as well. I think the use of the term hybrid for the cars you mentioned is not exactly right. I see a hybrid as something you can drive a good distance and at highway speeds, on electric only and then go to gas. Depending on the type the engine recharges or you plug it in. The E-ray and Zora are what I would call electric assist. These cars use electric mode to assist in performance only and don't add to range. Not putting these cars down. They are awesome, but note the same as hybrid Camry.
Speed Phenom Great Video I think the C8 Zora will be an absolutely amazing Car and I definitely agree that Chevy should use the hybrid system that's in the C8 Erays
This thing is gonna be completely uncontrollable for all but the most seasoned drivers. Good luck to whoever purchases this, because you’ll need it to get off the track in one piece if you’re trying to push it.
If Chevrolet isn't posting lap times. I have to wonder if maybe lap times are not as impressive as we're expecting or hoping. Maybe the Z06 is near optimum for rear wheel drive only? I'm sure the ZR1 will be faster, but maybe not as much as we think.
Lot of pros tell you that 700+ hp at the Nürburgring are not faster in any case because it is such a special track. The limits are more in the chassis, suspension, tyre and brakes. So IMO it is possible that the Zora and ZR1 aren‘t that much faster then the Z06 around the track, although they are of course the faster cars in a straight line. I mean try to put down 1200 hp on a bumpy narrow race track….good luck to you.
So tell me why the Mercedes AMG One pushes to 1063HP hybrid powertrain with the best current laptime on the nurburgring at 6"35'10 please ? The nurburgring track requires a racing chassis , downforce similar to a GT3 racecar, a perfect balance of masses front /rear , a great power to weight ratio but also a lot of power.
Corvette and Ford do not post Nurburgring lap times for one simple reason : they do NOT have what it takes to compete Porsche. Be it drivers, be it money, be it resources, be it a good car, or a bit of all.
Why don't you just stick to your ford and quit acting like you think how great the corvette is when you are a die hard ford guy that is hoping the new mad max edition mustang will out run something in its price range. Start testing the Z06 against a mustang or anything else that cost the same money and see what the results are, not only being the most expensive mustang ever it has won the title of the most gross ugly award, congrats to you and ford
That's an odd thing to say. I mean the guy has bought every iteration of the Vette and tracked it. So, I would say he has more experience than most on this forum. Otherwise, you are entitled to your opinion on the cars. Both are amazing cars. Everyone has their own tastes.
It's not that simple. Top people involved have to get the go on such. Driver's just can't just do such without approval issue. Lap time at VIR with C8 Z06 is very competitive vs others. Don't want to hear was not factory driver. GM does much testing there on both Full and version C&D use in LL.
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 recorded a lap time of 2:38.6 at the 4.1-mile Virginia International Raceway. This made it the fastest vehicle tested in 2023, and the fastest naturally aspirated vehicle and fastest in its price category in Lightning Lap history Corvette has so many racing championships won le mans many times won the 2023 le mans. Get ur facts straight
Chevy and Ford routine is to wait for new porsches to drop then copy their aero and finish the car by the time the next new porsche lineup is released. Just like how this is happening again. 😂 oh new zr1? New gt2rs new turbo s new gt3 😂😂
@@PEACEOUTXX1 Most of ZR1 aero is from GT race car and Z06. C8 race car was out before Z06 was released. GM has been racing Corvette since late 90's. Ford has not been consistent in such. I do agree they like to take ideas from different companies.
😅😅😅 aren’t you the guy that was evaluating the new vett compared to the mustang GTD and were pretty much saying how much the vett was, well just in the battle at the brick just finished and 🤔 what a surprise the GTD mustang beat the vett , the GTD was built to beat the GT3Porsche and by the end of the GTD pro season I’m betting the GTD mustang will win the championship! See that’s what ford does

Austin, you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace ✌️
"Mustang GTD is a brand new name"
All they did was add a D to Mustang GT 😂
If the E-Ray is putting 160hp to the front wheels with electric motors. I have no doubt the Zora will be 200hp minimum.

Any more 750s content coming soon? A canyon run would be awesome to see or a west coast road trip.
Coooool , in this video , I learned what the letters GTD meaning.
Speed phenom what is the horsepower of the Chevrolet Corvette c8 zora
I think because the numbers are not their ! its crazy because they released the numbers for the Camaro zl1 1le

Have you herd anything back from the concierge team since you submitted the affidavit and allocation acceptance paperwork ?

So seriously; this big ol' ZORA rumor exists because there is a sticker on a ZR1???!
I suspect two motors up front around 100hp each. Front wheel vectoring as well.
Sweet!
Makes no sense that Chevy won’t release ring times. Just be honest! They always play games, it’s ridiculous. The car will be amazing,
Your like a song every one heard but can't listen to it...holy
Zora is not going to be out for another 2-3 years.
My guess is it will be 1225hp
Nice
1300 hp
Bro Stop it!! Zoro 2029 period
Are you trying to say that you think the C8 Zora won’t come out until 2029?

Corvette doesn't give you lap times because they can't compete with porsche and Mercedes no matter the horse power
Ok
