There have been many comments about the transmission and clutches on the car. As mentioned in the video, when I drove it, the car wasn’t 100% dialed in. It went straight back to Lingenfelter for more calibration work. The 3rd to 4th gear was not the clutch slipping. Other moments were wheelspin induced. I’ve driven another aftermarket forced induction C8 and the shifting was orders of magnitude worse than this. It’s challenging to tune these cars. Thanks to everyone for watching the video!

Is it that or is he just shifting and immediately lifting the throttle. I’m not sure he is giving us an accurate depiction of the car’s performance. I really think it’s how he is driving it, a couple of pulls on another street sounded much better, so I think it’s just him trying to make it through 3 gears and he just can’t before hitting 80 on a side street
@taalboss3 ай бұрын
He's short shifting in between 3rd and 4th gear that's why it sounds like that

Just goes to show at any price point money doesn’t buy cosmetic taste. At least he didn’t put a firebird on the hood with cowhide interior and hot wheels flames on it yet. I’ve seen much worse tastes in modified cars gone wrong. With all the money in corvettes he should sell them all and get the ZR1 this summer. Neither is a good daily so I’d prefer the top trim over multiple Corvettes.

I'm surprised that people go with the factory's idea of differentiating the E-Ray from the Z06 by making all trim body color. Looks cheap, unfinished. How will the apparent basically stock transmission handle this extra power. The Z06 has a stronger transmission yet has less HP...right? I guess the factory warranty is now gone.

She needs a Dodson clutch kit. Poor girl. She might do better on auto. Sick powertrain tho, best of all worlds. Just heavy as hell. 🤷♂ other than that, depends on its purpose you give it. As a daily, its close to perfect! For track, not saying its uncapable, but she'll struggle. Tires, brakes, speed, everything gets affected with weight... which is a master key to track days, lightweightness. Again, other than that, she sick! Just needs a clutch to handle the added torque. Also HRE 527M wheels would look better without the rally inspired venting.
