Any moron can go fast in a straight line. Especially with an automatic.

Totally agree to that

I have to agree with you some that already throw NOS in them and just doing doughnuts in a parking lot is just a waste.

I’m so tired of seeing 1000hp+ cars on freeway “racing” for 5-10 secs. Talking about how good that “race “ was, even though this is a track day, this kind of high performance driving is closer to racing than any roll race could hope to be.

agree roll racing is not really racing

True. Most of the time they just show their face, it gets boring quickly.

well i mean he DID rev it ...

Great video with just wind and engine sound!

Or the “I’m such a gear head” let me drop the car off for an oil change bs 😭

@BaTtLeFiElD ThReELMG that's what I saw too. While watching my adrenaline said go for it, might have been a dumb idea but ...

Absolutely pathetic. When a car continues to stay on your rear end, that means he's faster than you....let him by. This isn't a race, it's a track day. Sad thing is, he likely never heard a word about it from any of the organizers. They are so reticent to talk to people about that kind of stuff unless it's blatantly obvious or they have an armful of complaints.

The guy in the Ferrari had terrible lines and was blocking like he was racing for money of course the Ferrari is gonna hold its own on the straight but he was getting eaten up on braking and cornering sure speed could have forced the issue but the way that guy in the Ferrari was driving he did the right thing and pulled off to disconnect from that moron. Some people can’t let their bias go and just appreciate a good car on the track no matter the brand sad but that’s life.

@@olekdah WRONG ...Glad your in front of a lap top and not at hte track!

Yea the Ferrari was a roadblock.. get the F outa the way

J. Wesley Stevenson a lot of them are just testing their cars or getting in some practice laps because of inexperience. A well season track driver won’t let the corvette get close to it.

@@Corsaconcepts_ still, dude is only 19. Talk about inexperienced.

@@JayOgle Mclaren wouldn't stand a chance? LMAO

@@Expandacraftboats Wow man this is just some rich guys lucky son messing around in a corvette at a track day full of old people...You need to look at European F3 championship or R5 class in WRC if you want to see the best young drivers in the world.

@@JayOgle ya they would lose to a pos $80k product from GM!! lol

I drove the C8 at Laguna and its really great for the price but there's some suspension and chassis issues. This is what sets it apart from the higher up cars. Could easily take off a ton of time without even adding to the engine. But as of right now its lacking in a lot of departments (but still good for a $80k car).

@@Gongolongo Yeah GM did great with a platform that's really out of their comfort zone. Hopefully they get some feedback and really put together what has the potential to be a landmark generation.

I said the same thing , he could have passed that Ferrari, I know I would have

I have a 2022 c8 and it’s a beast. I want to track it when I hit the 1500 mile break in.

Ladies...

No where near the full potential. Needs to work on throttle application, entering and exiting corners, I see lots of braking in the apexes, etc. I assume this was just a fun day and was an amateur driver.

I would rather see people on the track staying safe and out of the way instead of driving above their abilities and spraying the track with debri making it unsafe. Also not everyone has the same amount of experience or skillset. At least they're on a track not wiping out a crowd at a car show.

I liked the guy in the Beamer with his arm dangling outside the window like it was a Sunday in the park with George.

Yeah he passes that McLaren like he was standing still!

And this isn't even it's final form!

The Z06 is going to be an absolute animal.

MrSuperawesome5000 nah the ZR1 will be an absolute mammoth

It's a shame that steering wheel design is a total disaster.

@@amayu4139 dont you mean steering square

You are going to have a long wait if ever comes out this virus is destroying the economy.

It will be worth the wait. I have a C7 Z06, and have driven the C8 on track, I’m waiting. I track often, and the base C8 will not come close to my current car. Let them fix all the nitty stuff, get a better engine in it, and you’ll have something very special compared to the base model.

@@user-my8nn4hh1k That C7 Z06 he passed was pushing hard and not up to the C8 in the corners. You can see him locking the brakes entering one corner and sliding in another. It could have just been the drivers lack of experience though.

@@mustang43058 I agree, that C7's rear end was getting loose on those corners. As his previous video with the GT, the C8 is balanced well for the corners and once the Z06 comes out with more horses for the straights.......whoa momma.

@@richardcerritelli9657 Its part of China's plan because of the tariff war we had if they loose a few hundred thousand that's considered population control to them.

Luc Havan Baby Driver

Really? He drove a corvette in a race track in automatic....

Moises Pinot they don’t come with manuals

@@MoeTheBuilder Driving is about balancing a chassis through a series of points at 2-4% of slip at the tire, AKA "the limit". He drives quite well.

He isn't bad, but for him to put a dual-clutch transmission into complete auto made, and not even use the paddles, shows me he definitely lacks a lot of skill still.

And it starts at $60k. Amazing.

Omg this Bette kills em

Bette sorry

RayJ-HT ya. I hate that crap. The squat with the fake AF cheerleader surprise smile. It’s so lame, I’m not sure how they don’t see it.

Corvette- corvette -corvette!!!

I agree, it's nice to see someone out there really driving it hard. I would assume we will see more of this kinda content with C8 owners. A Ferrari, Lamborghini, or pretty much any exotic car is very expensive to service or repair and driving them hard drastically increases those costs and hassles. If you don't live in a major city, then you can add on the hassle and expense of shipping said exotic car to a dealer for a $20,000 repair. Not to mention, most people with a Ferrari or Lamborghini don't want to put to many miles on them or have to many repairs in the service history. Of course there are exceptions but most exotic owners rarely go out and do what their car was designed to do. How often do you see a Ferrari with 100,000 miles on it? I find that amusing and sad at the same time. The C8 is going to be reliable, easy to service and affordable enough for people to take them out and really drive them. That's a beautiful thing.

shananagans5 the thing about that is though, is I don’t think GM is going to be making any real money off of these cars, which hurts them....

@@shananagans5 Anyone that should be buying a Ferrari or Lamborghini should easily be able to handle repair costs

😁Don't get no argument from me on that.

Now I have to binge dragonball z lol

Nice comment ..very good ....

If u need to refuel the car after every 5th round its not that funny to drive the gt500.

Did he catch up to or pass the 720 he rolled in with on the track?

Eric Hamrick yea he passed like around 9 minute

@@MM_45 That was a different 600lt and not the 720s. The 720s has internal nonvisible side air intake vents and unmistakable headlights.

Martin Meza that’s not a 720s

Spent too much on a shitty car

They dont trust a 19 year old behind the wheel lol

@@RD-nc8xt And ive seen asshole drivers regardless of their age.

As driving instructors often say "If he's right off your back bumper, point him by... God didn't put him there, he's faster than you!"

I believe somewhere I read that GM bought a Ferrari 458 to use it as a base to design the C8 Corvette

@@jmm1174 Would make perfect NA sense...

JM M I also read where they reverse engineerd the 458, where they tore it down completely to the last nut and bolt!!...besides benchmarking it on the track and street...

Great observation. The reason is driver skill not the car capability. The vette driver was much more experienced than pretty much everyone on the track in this video and corners are where skill shows.

Most people do not understand how to drive thru an Apex. Always accelerate through the turn.

@@BlueDuck211 I've always been curious about this. What do you mean by "always accelerate through the turn"? I would have thought the quickest way through a corner would be to brake as late as possible until juuuuussst before the apex, then hit the accelerator as you're coming through the apex and stay pedal to the metal on the exit. Is that basically the same as what you mean by acceleratiung through the turn, or am I missing some of the finer details?

I caught myself holding my breath....

@Terry Bruce his GT350R would have beat every car except the Ferrari and maybe that Corvette

right??? just genuine, and it shows...

It just means slower drivers need to get the hell out of the way. That McLaren, especially, is a much faster car than the C8.

I was thinking the same...looks just like.

@@nightmareedge657 right, i went and played about 20mins later hahaha

You guys should try Assetto Corsa on PC if you find a mod that’s highly detailed you can rip it around tracks like Willow springs

I wonder how the C8 compares to the Ford GT?

@@kevinschwinkendorf1504 we will see chevy is going to have twin turbo for sure even the supercharged version would whoop that gt

I think the owners of those exotic "dust collectors" are going to trade them in on a C8 asap! Speed Phenom and the C8 are a very good match for each other.

@U Tube Surfer ... If you don't want to push your exotic car, you don't take it to a race track! Your comment is illogical!
