Regarding the E-Ray: The button on the side of the center console doesn't "selectively deploy" the electric drivetrain, it - by my best understanding - increases the recharge rate of the battery by putting the front motor/wheels into more of a parasitic drag-increasing charge generation mode. This is understandably a confusing matter to communicate, so I'll quote directly from the Chevrolet E-Ray owner's manual: ---- E-Ray Only Hybrid Battery Charging (Charge+) The Charge+ feature is used to quickly charge the high voltage battery to near maximum State of Charge (SOC). This feature is useful to prepare for maximum effort at a racetrack or Stealth mode use. By activating the Charge+ feature, it rapidly increases the hybrid battery SOC status into the blue 100% full zone. See Power Indicator Gauge 0 86. When the Charge+ feature is enabled, the battery SOC may still deplete during aggressive driving. The Charge+ feature can be used in conjunction with any drive mode except Stealth or Shuttle mode. On a racetrack, using the Charge+ feature optimizes the high voltage battery discharge rate for sustaining continuous lapping or to set your fastest lap. When the Charge+ feature is enabled, a strategic discharge rate is activated, which is the best for continuous lapping on the racetrack. When the Charge+ feature is off, a maximum discharge rate occurs, which is best for setting the fastest lap time. For additional details on vehicle track preparation, see Chevrolet.com > Corvette Experience > Guides > Track Prep Guide. Do not leave the Charge+ feature on longer than needed since extra fuel may be consumed due to aggressive charging. Charge+ draws on engine power to help recharge the battery quickly, rather than charging efficiently through brake or coast regen. When the high voltage battery is full, no additional regen energy of any type can be captured. When the Charge+ feature is turned off, the high voltage propulsion system efficiently uses battery energy to improve fuel economy or performance. This allows room in the high voltage battery for the next regen charging opportunity. The high voltage battery automatically seeks its nominal SOC in the white zone of the Hybrid Battery Gauge, between 50-80%. The SOC status is displayed in the HYBRID BATTERY info tile, and is shown in the blue Hybrid Battery state. See “Info Tiles” in Instrument Cluster 0 80. The Charge+ feature is only effective when the car is being driven. Optimal high voltage battery charging occurs when the vehicle speed exceeds 56 km/h (35 mph). ---------------- I hope this clears things up. (It isn't simple.)

It’s such a pity that you guys in the US don’t get the carbon fibre roll cage. It increases roll stiffness and definitely adds to the cars cornering abilities.

I’ve driven a ton of cars. And on tracks. I bought c8 Bang for buck I love it.

Doin Good!

Both would be 11/10 level frightening... but the AM Valkyrie and AMG One would be awesome to see fly through VIR even at 8 thenths speed. SF90 XX as well.

I understand modulating the modes in the ERay for an absolute qualifying lap, but I wonder what the car would do when set to the mode designed for extended lapping? It does a very impressive job on summer tires, given that it's more of a fast GT than a track weapon (it's the 911 Turbo kind of car).

The quality of a car and good laptimes aren't absolutely depending on horsepower. Porsche is always a good example for that.

These drivers may be able to drive, but they sure struggle to relate what it’s actually like to drive these cars. You need a translator or something. Or a rehearsal.

bro you did great job but please just keep quiet let the cars talk

Casey is the man, but so hard to listen to
