Are there any exotic cars that compete with this thing in the price range? I couldn't find any!

800 hp mustangs and 1000hp corvettes, both straight from the dealer. What a time to be alive

I'm happy to see them come out with this car. It is a nice tribute to Don Yenko. I rember him as a great competitor. Great race driver and a decent piano player. I raced against him a couple of times in SCCS & IMSA.

Watching Barret/Jackson, when a Yanko Camaro comes across the block, they go for massisly huge bucks. I can only imagine with these will fetch. And then in the years to come, be worth a forturne. Love to buy one.

It's about time they finally put some respect on the Corvette

I'm 64 years old and I like warranties. And I like this car. Am I gonna? I don't know, maybe. I definitely want to See one up close first. Great video, thanks.

One is also paying for the re-sale value. A Yenko Vette will fetch more than a person's vette project that makes similar horsepower.

As an example, while under warrenty, with the McLaren, only the dealer can change the oil, at a ridiculous $1650, and it MUST be done every year no matter what the mileage. With the Corvette, you can change it yourself for less than $100.

ETS twin turbo C8 goes 8.64 @ 170+ MPH in the quarter...... pulling the wheels at half track..... A lightened Tesla Plaid just went 8.61 @ 160.3! Now THAT would be a GREAT DRAG race!!!!! BUT the C8 looks SO MUCH BETTER!!!!

That sounds like a good idea, but after my check engine light, Mclaren replaced the entire engine ($54 000 parts, $39,000 labor), I had warranty to I paid nothing, except they charged me for the oil and filter. $1650. Figure that out😮

Very well done and comprehensive run down!👌

One main thing about the SVJ, is that people don’t buy it for speed. There are plenty super cars even within lamborghinis own line up that will destroy it in a race. People buy those SVJs and SVs because of that raw V12 that has 770hp, which makes a noise and presence that no other car has these days. Combo that with fighter jet looks and you have a car that’s in a class of its own. People buying SVJs aren’t usually cross shopping any type of C8 corvette. There usually cross shopping it with other NA V12 cars that sound like that, for example an 812 Competition or 812 gts.

ZR1 before zr1 came out

Great video… LMR gives you 1000 hp for an extra 35k… Same warranty. I know they upgrade the transmission and the brakes with that twin turbo set up

Well, another way to look at it is the Nurburgring times where cars like the Lambo mentioned and the Ferraris are truly remarkable and have top production car times. Also, if you rolling up to a Monte Carlo hotel then you would want one of the "Big Dog" cars. So it is not just about horsepower.....

I want one, but out of my reach on cost, I'm SURE. All Black with white stripes.

I like it! It would be nice to see a view of the engine through the rear glass.

I’m in on it! Walk up sign your name. Have fun repeatedly

I like that they upgraded the internals. I really like the widebody C8's from Label Motorsports.

im curious how much they would or if they would even be higher than the $170k that they are asking. would it be straight up $170k or would the limited run influence the pricing. this could be a great option if considering the Z06 or ZR1

I agree its a great deal Just needs E Ray front drive AND I would do it, as soon as my wife croaks. Seriously its a bargain once in a life time ball buster that needs to be driven, Lessons at the track day one, then a nation wide cruise for sure. Yenko has form and this fits it perfectly.

It’s about hand built verses mass production…I’m glad they offer this model to whoever wants one..But would be totally satisfied with C8 ZO6 with ZO7 pkg Convertible

For the money I STILL would take GM's own Z06/Z07 package over the Yenko, or wait for the ZR1 due later this year. A collectible isn't what I would want, and I'm pretty sure most everyone who would buy the Yenko ISN'T going to drive it with any enthusiasm or rack on miles and will instead turn it into a pampered garage queen, something that MIGHT visit a local Cars & Coffee meet. As for any of the Euro exotics...they generally do come with a lurking, significant price not reflected in the MSRP now down the road. Unless you're made of money, when they break you will break. That's their innate nature.

For that price nothing can touch it and you have a full Chevy warranty. With that kind of power expect some maintenance bills after warranty. With this kind of horsepower and the way it will be certainly driven, unless just collected, you have to expect problems even with all the best parts. I just saw a video of a Steve Morris billet motor with the biggest main caps you have seen and they were cracked. Rings and valves can have problems over time with this power, cylinder pressures, and temps.

I saw a recent video - heartbreaking, Z06 Corvettes. At least a couple in the video were $170,000+. (The content creator didn't spend much time on the invoices. Unsure of "market adjustments..") I don't know when the ZR1 will be out. I think it will be at least 900HP. A base Z06 is what - $112,500? Maybe do another $42K for the ZR1 engine - gets you to ~ $155K, base. The Yenko is probably worth it, as it a limited-run vehicle.

Blue on Sliver Flare Metallic paint is the best looking option in my opinion 🔥🔥🔥

Callaway has been doing this with GM since the late 1980's. They are already out there. They aren't 1,000 but they have been careful over the years to keep them just below what the ZR-1 does. I have a 2011 that is 606 HP vs 638 on the ZR-1. It's a factory option though and it retains all factory warranty, etc.

with the engine and trans issues im glad i passed on the c8 until they figure it out. engines and trans are popping like its HOT. c8s are not selling well at all. the dealerships are piling up and prices are starting to drop. would you want a car that drives 50 to 200 miles and breaks the engine and trans lol. nope they usually sit for about 90 days before they get worked on too. parts and stuff is back logged

Lol I just found it funny how there's an emphasis on it only being legal in 49 states.... that's literally 98% of the states. I know it's marketing but still funny to me.

BEAUTIFUL!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Ive always said dark grey is the best color for mixing other colors for stripes ect! Any color with gray works! Red blue green orange yellow carbons all match grey! So i would go dark grey or that dark green/grey color or dark red my 3rd choice! If i had to go bright yellow or light blue but for me dark green and grey with carbon would look amazing!

Putting 100 Grand into a car, doesn't add 100 grand in value to it. Infact most of the time it diminishes it's value. Because it's no longer original.

Interesting package. As a Saleen owner, I can appreciate limited run cars with good bang for the buck. I think, for the most part, people buying high priced exotics are a different type of customer. This car will probably embarrass some exotics for half the price. The only thing that would concern me about this car is, I think it is under tired for that amount of power. Be interesting to see on a track. Great video!

1000 HP. Reliable! 120,000 Base price. What is Hennessy going to do? Probably make 500 HP out of it.

Rather have the zr1 if it could be Obtained

How about a Rapid Blue with the orange stripes. Or black with red, silver or orange stripes. This car is going to be in direct competition with the ZR1. Likely not that much cheaper in price as that $70,000 donor car can have lots of options to go well past $70,000. The ZR1 will have less HP, likely close to 850, but I think it will have the advantage as a future investment...maybe.

Do they come with an all wheel drive version? If not, it is just going spin and eat up expensive tires when you try to run down the Texas mile! It sure will look good doing though..........

Black on black was a big thing for Mopar in 1970/71.

Hate the stripe 🤨

A corvette in any dress is sexy. California doesn't deserve anything but plugins.

White orange! 💪😎

You can bet Im the one state where its not available 😂

Blows my mind they'll warrantee a TT system.

Some people waited a year just to get a corvette, how long with corvette with upgrade cost and what is the wait time. The top five cars on your list are exotic cars, you don't see those being produced in mass quantity. I don't think you can compare those cars to a 1,000 HP corvette.

For a good comparison, look any testing on the Nuremberg ring with the 25 Z06.

The engine specs sound amazing. The stripes are pretty weak.

This announcement should have been for the ZR1 or the Zora.

How much is a Yenko from the 60's worth today? 180+k might be a great investment today.

Did we somehow increase the number of states that we have in this country?

Not a big fan of the side profile, just the yenko would’ve been ok, I like the orange creamsicle look

It’s so awesome it’s only allowed in 49 states ? Oh wow how exclusive .

Holy Browridges! didnt know that neathertals existed

Here in Canada, a new Z06 will cost you at least $250,000

Love the video, hate the slurring of words. Straight becomes shhhtraight. Strength becomes shhhtrength.

What happened to the E-Ray?

I can only imagine the dealer mark up on these. Happy to see a limited run package car for the collectors out there. I’m not understanding how this car is going to hook up on 20 inch wheels. Roll race from 90 bro, on three!

You say this is a dealer package. Does that mean the dealer removes the stock LT2 and installs this blueprinted and turbocharged LT2?

I gave you a like cuz you said that green “go hard” 😂 and you are correct

Imagine this package on the e ray corvette, low 9s car !!!!!!!!

I think I’m building mine. The question is this corvette is going to have 1,000 hp at crank or at the wheel?

I’d stick with my 350z for life bro ,I’m a car enthusiast,not a performance enthusiast shii boxes are more fun

Agreed other reasons to buy a car over hp my M850i is faster than a c8 and I've beat hellcats but I've got comfort and self driving and a great clean hud it's just crazy people don't get that part oh and I got the gran coupe so my back seat fits tall people and awd with 4wheel steering it cuts u-turn better than a much smaller car hence why we buy cars for their options not just HP

They should've used the zo6 body

The c8 is a big car . Less can mean more for a sports car . That said 1000hp 🤔. . . .

Having that much power in a rear wheel drive car is a death trap! Not many can handle that kind of power without killing themselves or others! Besides, all that power is meaningless if the quality of build and the design of the base car is trash! No, I will still stick with known supercar manufacturers who build quality cars that don't look rediculous and have quality issues! GM started with a clean sheet of paper when they designed the C8. And this was all they could do??!!! Look at the Lamborghini Technica and their intro video on KZfaq!!! People are going to scream that the Lambo is $K above the Stingray but I say, they both started life with pencil on a sheet of white paper! And look at what a disaster the C8 turned out to be!

good one

Build 10 in 2024 and 50 more in 2025? Maybe? bring a car and add $100,000 ? What is the boost and required fuel to get to 1000 HP? Documented HUGE problems with the transmission. The BIG Corvette Chevy dealerships I talked to would not touch this car. Walk into your Chevy dealership and ask them if they ever heard if this car? I have a C8 ZO6 - I am single digit on the waiting list for the C8 ZR1 - I think I will wait for the C8 ZR1 (with factory warranty and support) Been there and done that with aftermarket stuff - including the very best (Lingenfelter). Wonderful engineering and bullet proof. But John is gone and the factory offers huge horsepower and factory service and warranty. This video sounds like a high school kid talking about cool colors and stuff he does not understand. KZfaq entry video - good luck my friend. Needs work.

White with orange stripe, white interior with orange accents, orange seat belts, wheel option #3 powder coated white, black cutouts and orange stripe.

Mclaren voids your warrenty if you open the engine compartment

They forgot to tell you about the feeling of incarceration, should you decide to utilize the full 1000 horsepower on the highway or streets. 😂😂😂😂

Doesn’t have center exhaust and that block isn’t strengthened, that block won’t last

Please stop with the black wheels.

A 1,000 hp car is useless except in a pissing contest (assuming you're not racing it). Ninety-nine point nine percent of people can't use 400 hp in any meaningful way.

That is cool!

Have you ever noticed when they want to really make a car look like it's dressed to the nines they usually have sparkling aluminum Wheels they don't put on a car that they want to really show off with black wheels look at the ads and see what I'm talking about black wheels does nothing to make a car look better

Love it

Your list is missing Lucid Sapphire that has repeatedly beat the Tesla Plaid with 9:3 at 156 😂mph in the 1/4. The C8 with 1000 hp is going to need awd to put a 1000hp down on the streets

$6500 whipple package FTW

What are you thinking the C8 brakes are known to sub par, talk to those who take it racing, see motoroso connversion!

Illegal in California... when I heard that I still can't stop laughing... I really did think you were gonna say Hawaii. When you said it was California I cringed so bad like the blood rushed to my head...

LEGAL IN 49 states which the 50th state that it’s NOT LEGAL IN IS CALIFORNIA!!!!

My leaf blower is only 49 state legal

And the Koenigsegg Gemera has 2300 hp.. wonder why it wasnt on that list

Purpose built cars hold their value 85% of the time. These yenko and copo cars are purpose built for a specific niche in the car community. The problem with u and most people have with paying the 100k is because u don’t belong to that niche and therefore don’t understand and aren’t interested. It’s very simple 😊

so such a great deal why only 60???

I'm so sorry I live in Cali

So why isn't Dodge still making gas powered cars why are they killing off their whole brand and other car manufacturers aren't??

That stripe looks cheesy as fk. They can keep that stripe

Convertible option?

I'm glad I don't live in California.They seem to be against the American V8.No cool car.Is legal there talk about a bummer.

Great option, wheels are kinda weird and NEVER a wing, is buckbill or nothing.

For that type of $ why not just wait for the ZR1 C8?

Horsepower horsepower isn't everything engineering is everything. Have a Turbo S with 640 horsepower And blows away a lot of one thousand horsepower cars

Cacti green is much lighter in real life than the websight

50 or 60 of these? So essentially no average guy will gets one of these? 1 per state on average ? Lol Did i hear this right ? In that case who cares. Only people with connections will get this. The price of the car will not get you this car.

My credit score is 364 do you think I qualify?

Guess it's California that wont allow u 2 drive it there

Not worth the money like at all. $100,000 for this package starting, plus another $80,000 for the car. So basically $200,000 all said and done. If yall want maximum power for the least amount of money you need to buy a 2018 ford mustang GT for $30,000 and buy fords 3.0L whipple supercharger kit for $8,500, now you have a 750Hp monster for around $40,000.

Cacti Green will not be offered in 2025.

Let me take a wild guess on which state this vehicle won't be legal in........California. Am I right?
