Sorry but which cars need reinforced Frames when putting big power in ? Old audi s2's or even supras dont reinforce their Frames

@@ozibit99 worked at a race shop for 2 months before cali laws made it illegal. audis and supras were regulars for rebuilds when over 700whp. at around 900 the supras needed rear subframe and connecting areas strengthened cause after a few hundred pulls at that kind of power they tend to collapse like e36 rear subs when driven with cracked mounts. i didnt work on the s2 but i saw 2 in getting front end worked on with a welder {assume it was strengthening weakened metal} where as the corvettes are good to around 1700hp and 1 that i did the head work on was used as a super car road tripper that put over 130k on it at 1600ish in 3 years{3 tunes from 1100 to 1600}

@@ozibit99 that was 2014 so newer upgrades to aftermarket rear subs on the supras might be infinitely better and wont need strengthening. idk

my friend has a 240 with 1100 WHP no fancy chassis

Hydro formed? Wait they use water to make the chassis?

Totally agree! Not to mention that Zagato is a coach builder who knows a thing or two about car design, overall proportions and elegance 😄

So far ahead of the rest, it deserves it's own video.

Thank you. Decent video until I heard that stat. Then I started questioning if the video producer knows anything about cars…

Incredible handling and super low drag. In some ways MT900 is tje ultimate Vette.

ew

Yes this car is made in the Philippines

Many of use don’t want a car that looks like everyone else’s.

I just read $600,000 USD

@@shadetreesupercar Thanks man.

Callaway Corvettes are still Corvettes that look like Corvettes though.

Need to agree with that guys.. Some components sharing doesn't mean you are riding a Corvette anymore. As an engineering base though, the Corvette is a tremendous choice!

Some of them share more than others. If you use the drivetrain, frame, brakes, etc, then yeah, it's based on a corvette. If you just use the motor and trans only, then you're right. It isn't even close. But you can see the ones that are....they just look like a styled up C7 others are completely different.

I said the same

I'll put it in another way... Why put Ferrari money in a Ferrari, when you get the same or higher performance from a Z06 or ZR1? Yeah, I know.. I heard you guys.. It's called "status" 😄

Because the way the car looks is half what makes it desirable. You know, some people want something unique, NOT a cookie cutter design. I bet you think the Mona Lisa is "just a picture of some homely chick"? and Frank Lloyd Wright was "just another house builder".

@@muskokamike127 Right on point with the car design Mike! I admit, the design of a car is so important to me that what comes with it is almost (repeat : almost) not significant anymore. A beautiful car is always a car with PERSONALITY. This is what is lacking today because of "pedestrian safety", "emissions" etc.. Cars are all designed in the same way (based on regulations) and therefore follow the same tasteless and bland no-identity pattern. Cars in my garage? A 77' C3 next to a 97'Viper GTS. They haven't a million horsepower, but man oh man do they have PERSONALITY. Who said "personality goes a long way" already? 😄

@@peterkater4292 Yessirree. We can laugh at the fins and stuff from the early 60's but those cars had style. You are also 100% correct on new cars being cookie cutter. They all look aliike these days simply due to them having to do the same job and meet the same requirements. Also new cars have to appeal to a wide audience so they make them as bland as possible. That is the problem with marketers running a car company: no passion.

yeah, it's not just horsepower, aerodynamics comes into it. It's like hulls on boats: doesn't matter how much hp, the "hull" will only allow the boat to go x mph. Same as a body on a car: the wide flat nose will prevent it from going anywhere near 300. It would fly apart long before that due to pressure. I don't know the exact figures but bugatti/veyron found it took 700 hp to do 200 mph. Then another 600 to do the next 64.

I came to the comments to see if anyone said this. Why in the world would that go 300mph when modern cars with more horsepower, a better power-to-weight ratio, improved aerodynamics, and superior technology are still struggling to do so?

@@canehdiansteve3455 haha great handle Canehdian.....have to be Canadian to get it hahahah

like 500k+

@@PLK123 That's really unfortunate and means their Pantera reincarnation is also in that ballpark if not more expensive. Guess the old adage, _"if it's fast and cheap it won't be good; if it's cheap and good, it won't be fast; if it's fast and good, it won't be cheap"_ still holds sway...

The 3ngine is useally notbthe problem its the parts attached to it a crank and head and everything can take a lot but with right treatment even more i would like to know more of certain builds

….double??? Cmon pal its nearly 300 hp shy of double.. it makes 44% more power.. not bad but HALF as much extra power to be considered CLOSE to double.. its just math and I’m a nerd

It's actually an LT engine and not an LS engine.

@@Dr.I.C.Spots247 I stand corrected!

Yeah, thank you. When he said 6.3L small block I thought, wait, what'd you say? That ain't a small block.

They didn't forget it. This video was 9 months ago. The disappointing interior of the Devel 16 was only revealed recently.

I thought they messed with Ford engines.

In fairness, so does GM with a 2.9 sec lie from a 495HP/3700lb that Dragy measures at 4.12/11.98 secs. 2.9 secs at 3700 lbs calculates to 650HP. Is GM so incompetent they don't know that HP is a result of a time to distance test?

@@FFE-js2zp They could be fudging the numbers, everyone's got an agenda. However, Zander13 was hitting 3.2 consistently. One run he hit 2.95. So......

@@riteousrighthand6144 The PDR uses OBD2 data. The Corvettes ECU is too slow to display a continuous speed readout, so obviously its "for entertainment only." Dragy is irrefutable and same run times are always 0.7 to 1.5 secs slower than the PDR says. The fastest stock C8 ever recorded in Dragy's database is 4.12 secs to 60. Thats stunningly fast for such a low HP, heavy car. Its a shame GM felt the need to defraud buyers to sell the car. Even sadder, C8 owners don't care, the new gen believes in "likes," not timers.

@@FFE-js2zp they went low-fi Stop watch. But, fair enough.

@@FFE-js2zp Still spewing the lies I see...

Correct, and proudly so Sir!! Your Corvette is definitely as enjoyable as an exotic and above all, is as reliable and reasonably serviceable as any exotic could ever dream of! Wise choice 😄 No bells and whistles but a lot of car and fun for the money 🇺🇲
