Agreed. I saw the C7R with my brother at Lime Rock and you would FEEL the power coursing through you. It was an amazing experience.

That’s means the Valkyrie arm pro is even worse 💀

Small block 265 CID V-8 of 1965... begat ALL the Chevy small blocks, thru 350CID.

Yes! The booming of the 7.0 liter would shake your organs. Great cars, great engines.

I seek out sound clips of those amazing 7l V8 noises for when I need a pick me up lol. I loooove the sound of those cars.

I hope! And yeah I agree, those were the golden era of Corvette Racing!

C6 for me, but that's because I grew up with it

Definitely I love all 3. But the C5 is special since I felt In love when it came out in 97 I was a junior in high school with an empty wallet so I could only dream. Thankfully I have a 2003 C5 in my garage now.

c5-c6 for sure.

@@josels1292 c5 definitely the best looking. Future classic.

Ich gehöre auch dazu!

So, imagine that sound and times it by like 5x more. That was the sound coming from the c6.r and c5.r. Insanely brutal. Loved the C7.R as well. Still had that crazy rumble, but didn't hit you as hard as the previous cars. C6.R GT1 before they modified the engine and other components for GT2 was my personal favorite. Clocked at 182mph (iirc) down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. Hope the C8 GT3 looks good. I saw a render of it early on. Just looks like the C8.R with different aero components. Still looked great though. Chevy never disappoints with their race cars imo. I'm sure it will be a popular gt3 car. Can't wait for chevy and ford to join gt3. There's going to be some HUGE grids out there. I'm pumped! We're heading into another golden era of endurance/ sports car racing with the new LMH/LMDH classes in WEC & IMSA along with the transition to all GT3 cars.

Thanks for the support!

Both dale sr and jr were drivers for car 3 at 24h of daytona. The plan was for sr to transition into endurance from nascar but he died at daytona 500 a few weeks later.

Thank you for the support and that's really cool!

I love the C5-R too!

RIP Dale Earnhardt.

Yes, yes I did! Thanks for the info!

Corvette has never won Lemans.

Overall, they haven't won, but as the first comment said, they won in their class.

Lol 8 titles in its class

Ford is the only American manufacturer that has won the 24 hour of Lemans. They also won two more as an engine supplier.

Thank you! ❤

let's go, another mid ohio enjoyer, I watched the C6s as I was growing up too, I think the first race I went to was 06 or 07. My biggest gripe with the C8 is that it doesn't feel like a corvette, yeah they wanted to compete with ferrari when they came up with corvettes, but you can't build years on years of legacy, then completely ruin it and preform worse at the biggest race of the year. While acting like nothing is wrong.

And one more for the mid-Ohio crew... I volunteered as a turn Marshall for 8 years and totally enjoyed the American v8 thunder going by at full song

Thank you!! It was a mix of Project Cars 1, 2, and GTR2 music. They really fit this video.

@@christheradar I want GTR2 so badly, no pc😥

@@nicholascanjuga6000 I hope you get one soon.👍

You got it! Was waiting for that comment. Both PC1 and PC2 music fits this video.

I disagree, it doesn't sound muscular at all. It sounds like a Honda.

He did the initial testing and development with the Corvette C5-R and scored Corvette Racing’s first ALMS victory in September 2000 at Texas Motor Speedway, destroying Oreca Viper's winning streak. The Viper was Corvette Racing's nightmare before the Pro Drive Ferrari Team.

@@christheradar Olivier Beretta, Karl Wendlinger, Dominque Dupuy were legendary Oreca Viper drivers. Don't forget the fact Saleen gave Corvette a fit in early 2001.

@@6lemans10 I thought the Saleen debuted the S7.R race car for the 2002 season. But after I just did my research it first raced at Laguna Seca in 2000 in the ALMS event.

@@christheradar The Saleens were it with severe weight penalties during 2002 and 2003 Le Mans 24 hours. To compete in the old GTS class, a manufacturer had to produce a certain number of cars. Without the extra weight, the Saleens were very fast, but fragile.

Thank you so much! FYI this video is already blowing up and has the most likes by far on my channel. Oh, and speaking of BMW, I will do a documentary video about BMW M Motorsport very soon.

Since you are a BMW M Fanatic, here is another documentary video that just drop a few minutes ago. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsqEfct22Z3Tqac.html

Thank you very much I appreciate that! And for sure more videos like this are coming.

💯💯

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much, it helps a lot!

Hey, I understand that cars don't always sound realistic in-game, and you are right. FYI the C7.R you heard in the video does sound like a real thing onboard view, the sound file has been recorded from the actual video onboard of Tommy Milner racing the C7.R at the 2014 24 hours of Daytona. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pt5_n5OTnbGado0.html (I also did record the sound in-game for the C8.R and sounds very much like real life) I also planned on making a video about the history of BMW M Motorsport and I won't always use the videogame sound as examples unless they sound realistic. (The C5.R was real-life onboard in the video) Also, I'd like to know what are the details I missed about the C6.R and what you mean when you say "overarching storyline"? Just curious.

@@christheradar As far as the detail, it was that the C6R was the cause of the fall of GT1 since everyone else dropped off one by one with aston martin being the final nail in the coffin. The 6.0L displacement in GT2 was done after protest to limit the Z06, along with new rules on the rotating assembly restricting teams to a 10% window of the OEM spec weight forcing P&M to resleeve their engines (hence the comments at Laguna Seca about IMSA not liking the steel sleeves since the LS7 used grey iron sleeves). They later further restricted displacement in the series to 5.5L due to more petitions and it was rumoured online at the time that P&M was using the LS9 6.2L bottom end and block for homologation but not announcing it. Unfortunately I have no way of confirming this so take it what you will. Basically the C6 was so dominate at the time that both the ACO and IMSA had to keep trying to restrict it further so to prevent it from pulling another GT1 run and killing GT2/GTE Fun note for your viewers, and I don't know if you knew it at the time, but that rotating assembly limit was how, before the actual CAD leaks happened on the new LT's for the c8 Z06 and ZR1, we knew the z06 was going to be flatplaned. The GTE ruleset that carried on GT2 ruleset rotating assembly weight window gave away the engine the second the C8R was spied testing.

One day, I will get to experience watching and hearing the Vette race in person. I'm closer to VIR than Lime Rock or Watkins Glen, but I am far away from VIR.

Thanks for checking in. ❤

Thank you!

I wish I got to experience that IRL. Is the C7.R louder in person than it is in video compliations?

Wym?

I can assure you you're not the only one, I love the C8.R, just that some miss the earth-shaking and thunder sound of the cross-plane V8 in the prior Corvette racecars or because they dislike the overall design and don't considerate it a Vette.

@@christheradar believe me I also miss the roar of the C7R, that thing could make Satan quiver in his boots, but the C8 gives this atmospheric like sound that can lull you into a trance

@Michael Butkus - I remember being at Lime Rock Park in 2019, the last year the Ford GT was raced by the factory team. I absolutely agree that the C7R had a great sound. I remember it coming on to the Sam Posey Straight and bellowing V8 power out of its exhausts, just as a comparatively quiet Ford GT V6 blew by it! The 2 GTs placed 1st and 3rd with the closest C7 in 5th. Great sounds don't win races.

Glad you loved it!

Thank you for the support! And yeah I'm down.
