Lol my friends used to ask me why I didnt listen to the radio. I always said I was too busy listening to exhaust and cam.

I won't even hear my radio if my LS1 if past 3.5k RPMs.....seeing how this LT2 can crank to 7k RPMs the radio would be the last thing I'd use in this machine !

Now going to channel stutututut

Oh the symphony of 8 cylinders that sound like a jet are quite lovely!!

I'm of that same mind. The stereo in something like a C8 is useless as far as I'm concerned. I pulled the stereo out of the Z28 way back when, and replaced its face with a gauge & switch panel. It's not like the stereo could be heard over the sound of the exhaust through the cutouts anyway.

Coz they hv business to run... Unlike car youtubers... Their income come from videos only

@@polong99 I know but it doesn't change the fact that they go straight to the point unlike most of other channels

They just clickbait. He Hennessy just kept quiet and did it first 1.

Which videos did you ever see that? All the ones I've seen says they are going to get twin turbos installed, nice have said they had them installed and gave you a video with nothing. So I'm guessing you're exaggerating a lot in this statement, you should be able to link to them easily right?!🤔

S why would I waste my time doing that ?

S and another thing there making a series out of putting the twin turbos on but Hennessy just puts out a video with it already installed

@@evilformerlys4704 both streetspeed717 and tjhunt have made videos saying "twin turbo build" and then do nothing about it. Check your attitude.

@Gossip Heart he means once they really get it dialed in

John said high 9’s with built motor, and turbo. Meanwhile they are already running low 10’s with a 100 shot.

@@sew04ss Has anyone cracked the ECU yet? Last I knew no.

@@hughjaskoch5456 I'm sure somebody has. Some people move in silence and don't tell their secrets

@@ChuckBeefOG I haven't seen that...link?

THATS THICCCCCC

Here’s a guy that drives whatever he wants and when he mashes the pedal and the power hits he still gets excited like it was his first time ever. That’s cool.

Not trying to make you mad how ever I love turbos can't get enough of that sound. However my instant reaction was nooooo it sounds like a old truck duel exhaust pickup truck that someone put turbos on. Guess I'm not a fan of this particular sound. Its absolutely an amazing butt kicking car though.

Jackson Fawbush while I still like this sound. I personally prefer the raspier sound the c7 engines had.

Jackson Fawbush probably still needs a little R&D to get the fit and finish nice. It’s still a prototype after all

I agree with both of you c7 is a proven example. I have no doubt this turbo system is clearly an actively advancing prototype that when finished will be all of our wish list items.

@@jacksonfawbush5439 thats prob bc the exhaust is quiet that cats are really restrictive

@Meta World Peace probably from people that have bought cars from him! I have never drove his cars and never spoken to anyone but alot of people have said he ripps people of! A real lot! And last video he said he is not driving this twin turbo as its a prototype but this video he drives it! If it was turbocharged a week ago why not drive it? Thats dodgy to me! Maybe it was just finished now ! Shorly after you finish something you immediately drive it to test it? Why wait a week? I could be wrong im not accusing him just commenting on what i notice! There is also alot of lies in comments so it could all be not true so dont take anything ive said as fact just an observation ive noticed!

At three times the price

I wouldn't trust anyone who ruins Raptors with cheap lift kits and big wheels

Sheepy c8!!! Any day

Doing what's right?

m - I saw that and that Vette was impressive. The driver did do a good job but it looked like he wasn’t hitting the apexes correctly. Maybe it was just the optics but either way, that Vette is an engineering marvel. Wish he had better tires on it.

I wouldn't care about this upgrade if I had a C8. The car is already fast enough. Wait WHO am I kidding?

@@WarriorsPhoto Depends on how much you want to spend over time. A turbo charged engine is under greater stress and tends to wear faster. The stock transmission may not be designed to handle the much greater load. The shift duration in this video seems to be much longer under hard acceleration.

Karl K The end part was to add a little bit of laughs. I don’t modify cars anymore. I may when time and dollars permit go get a 90’s era Japanese car or Corvette Z06. But other than that a modern car is more than capable for my daily needs.

Flextape can’t fix that

Gawd damn

Ryan Futch This guy gets it

Turbo be like come on

Gio Casillas exotic is just euphemism for low testosterone.

It whistles like a truck, I like it better than European sport cars

@Tanmay Jamwal the whistle is about the only thing soundig half-decent here, low revs are sounding like a damn diesel

Actually Audi RS6 sounds pretty close to this

RehsNahk exotic is just a euphemism for you can’t afford it lol

HOLD. MY. BEER.

Hold my Hennessy...

the weak point is the axles (check the nitrous c8 from tx2k20)

Anthony Whitford probably because the next breaking point is the diff or the trans! I can’t wait to watch people break it and rebuild it to withstand more power.

@@kentbremner7828 knowing chevy, it'll probably be the trans lol

FireNinja743 wait till 2022 or 2025

@@JPSquare272 :(

Definitely not 2022

Wouldn’t think the c8 zr1 will even need any more power than they will produce it from factory

@@reidmcpherson7654 Hehe that's the problem. It's never enough. Maybe HPE 1500

Paul Stockman isn’t tuned

@@robquin2460 Nope it's not even tuned yet, the engine platform has so much capability to be tuned easily.

Yeahh not sure how quick its gonna happen. Took a while till the huracan and r35 transmissions got mastered

Its rear wheel drive and then engine is in the middle now. So the transmission will be stressed less. Though I see awd zr1 and C?.R packages with 6cyl twin turbo engines

Tremec makes the transmission. They certainly can (and probably already have) build a C8 trans for most any power.

You realize there are plenty of other cars that are more refined than the C8 that put down nearly that much power? I don't think it'll make records on the track but maybe on the drag races.

Yesss I was just thinking the same thing! Bet it will sound wild going off launch control

Leroy 2.0

You know cleetus is a hell of a wheelman when it takes a DCT to make another corvette sound like him shifting

Hell yeah brother

it really does haha, great comparison

I had one as well, 96 red vr4 twin turbo...at 150 which is fast as I was willing to go, it drove unbelievably stable at that speed!

@HomesliceDrummer Nice! Great color. Did yours come with the "infinity" 👈spelling... sound system and equalizer under the passenger seat?

@@jternesto1981 I had me a 95 TT stealth/ 6-speed. black with tan leather interior, original chrome wheels..it was a beauty. with just bolt ons it was a fun car, that was way ahead of its time..built strong.

@@SrtKillz12345 Aww man you can't go wrong with black...yes you're right, they were way ahead of their time! I wonder if anyone ever modded one to the 2,000hp Mark. Official VR4/Stealth RT thread lol.

1993 3000GT VR4. Pearl white. Red leather interior. 185MPH On the dash. Realistically like 180MPH. I doubt any less. That car was wicked fast. Especially once past 55mph. It cuts off at redline. The needle hits the board past. But it cuts you off. You get back to 178.5mph. Then back to 185 plus... Hits the board. Fuel cut off. And back. You cam hold 185-190mph for about 10-15 seconds. You figure... Average has to be best of a few runs. So 185mph high. 180 mph low. Dash. So on the street. I think its 185mph all day. Given enough road. Good conditions. For about 12 seconds. Solid. With higher boost. Maybe dialed and tuned to 400bhp +. 200mph is available easy. The rumor is 205 mph limited to gearing. But I believe with 500bhp to 600bhp.... 215mph - 220 is possible. Any more power. It would top out the same. Just quicker to do so. Anything past 205 mph is aero dynamic restrictions. Not gearing. Of course me... I'd go Honda J series V6. Twin Turbo. Aem infinity. With a PPG dog box. And keep All Wheel Drive. Rock solid. Stable. 160 is a freeze. Then surge... Peaks... Full max everything. The engine hits the hood at top speed on the secondary banks. So cylinder.... 1, 2, and 3.... Calm ... Cylinders... 4, 5, and #6!!!!.. Hit the hood... Prunm... Prunmm .. Praunm.... Nnnnma... Lol. I still remember. I was braking motor mounts! With a pasanger !!!! * In Mexico of course.... Lmao!

Sadly the C8 isnt even the top 10 fastest Vettes of all time. Its quick not fast once you hit 110 the C8 vette stops pushing itself to the limit unlike the Older Vettes. Vette were monster off the roll while this one loses to Mustangs.

Already was now it's just overkill

ExpWars overkill for the street but NOT overkill doing rolling launches on a decommissioned airport runway vs exotics *drool*. But for me, a stock C8 or C8 W/ mild tune + exhaust is all I need/want.

@Trevon Adams LMAO.

Trevon Adams plus drag radials, 2 gallons race fuel, aggressive tune, and cool/dense outside temp.

@Trevon Adams Maybe a H/C C8. Probably not a bolt on one though.

🤣

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA he is talking about how affordable this car is compaired to these over rated European cars. I do not think that you can buy performance like this for this much over there. Unless you buy used then they break all the time. So yes the c8 did set the mark with affordable performance

Obliterated? Come on now, you are reaching. It is a fast car, but off the show room floor wont touch much in terms of supercar/hypercars.

Paul Bujold This kit will probably cost $50,000

The C7 vettes sounded like a Venom GT. This sounds more like a COPO Camaro

@@jaredchampagne2752 nah. Its Hennessy it's gonna be a extra 120k probably

AmericanGrizzly Christ

@@jaredchampagne2752 Yes ur right but its worth it i think. Power have a price and a car like this one with 800hp crank will be a supercar killer . Since not every one like flat plane crank like the z06 rumours announced, people are gonna buy stingrays like crazy and mods them, then .. cost will be lower on a mass produced . And again its my own opinion

Not really, but this does sound better with turbos than they do NA. NA sounds like every other truck on the road.

There's just no comparison between the two. C8 Corvette is on it and the new Supra is not

Silver Lion Media no you’re not stop lying c8s with nitrous are running mid 10s not seeing any Supra do that. Japanese performance cars aren’t good like they were in the 90s.

@@greenbullitt6999 And yet everyday, weather good or bad, the C8 is compared to the 2020-21 Supra. "Can't compare them" But yet have to.

A stock Mustang GT will spank the BMW Supra so shut up with your BS

It has awd🤦🏾‍♂️ Google it

Trevis Fletcher LoL no it doesn’t...

Relax ladies it was just a joke sheesh...

Trevis Fletcher no it wasn’t ur prob a 13 year old thinkin he knows cars lol

Trevis Fletcher oh jeez

He's not the one who has a certain reputation to fix. He gave his opinion and so far other than seeing the car with it installed, they don't even have a video up running the actual numbers. Hopefully no more horror stories about Hennessey, but you know it's hard to get rid of bad publicity you created yourself. 🤔

It’s not a supercar

@Gossip Heart A supercar is a high performance car that represents the pinnacle of a manufacturers engineering. All you C8 fanboys say the base model is a supercar just because it keeps up with them. Supercars are supposed to be rare also. If you C8 fanboys call the C8 stingray a supercar, then every corvette since the C5 was a supercar because all of them kept pace with supercars. However, they were too common to get excited about seeing one. A supercar needs to be rare as well as fast. And the C8 will likely be the best selling corvette ever made. So it doesn’t make the cut to be a supercar. However it and the base model Porsche 911 are way too fast to just be a sports car. That’s why I place the C8 and base 911 into a hybrid category called “super sports cars”. This category is good for cars that keep up with supercars but aren’t rare or special enough to be supercars. Now do you understand where I’m coming from? I adore the car but I simply don’t see how the C8 is a supercar because it’s mid engine.

@Gossip Heart You sound like another one of those damn fanboys. I never said the C8 stingray was a decline in engineering. I’m saying that the base model isn’t the best of the C8. The Z06 and ZR1 will be supercars because that’s when Chevy goes balls to the wall in their engineering and breaks some major records with them. “Anyone can buy a Lamborghini or Ferrari”. That was one of the stupidest sentences I have ever heard. Only people in the 1% can afford a Lamborghini or Ferrari. That’s why they are so rare. The truth is, about 50% of people can afford a C8 Corvette at one point or another and that makes the C8 not as special to see in person as something like a Ferrari or even a C7 Z06. That’s why the C8 isn’t a supercar. It’s a hybrid of a supercar and a sports car. It’s a SUPER SPORTS CAR. NOT A SUPERCAR. Stick to what you know. Video games

@@AzaanPD it is a super car, the C8.R is racing against Porsches, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis in IMSA?????

@@AzaanPD so if the C8 is sold in another country, it that'll makes it rare, so would you call it a supercar then?

The Mustang driver: What's gappening?!

I gaptize thee in the name of horsepower!

Mustang is not a competitor of the vette, we have gone over this numerous times!

Hennessey love twin turbo c8

I was watching the tires to.

Your not the only one they also need to put a wing on it

Chevy has NEVER put cool wheels on the Corvette for some reason.

ronald Arévalo *you're

Same, needs bbs wheels

@@coolguys2392 no

This isn't the first Corvette to have rear-mounted turbos

The stock internals csnt handle over 680. You woukd have to build the engine. It's very weak compared to some European manufacturers hence the price

@@freddiejones4598 its hennesey thel find a way lol but I get ya tho.

@@carlover2474 yeah of course they'll have to fully build the motor. But that's when things get expensive

Freddie Jones no it’s not, many American engines can handle over 1000hp on stock internals.

@@tristyn1124 i didn't say they couldn't i was referring to this engine. And to be fair 1000 is pushing it cery few if any could achieve that

Any sane person would

Nah they are designing a better kit and doing it right by not rushing it. I guess it's cool to be the first but I'd rather be the best. Greatness takes time. If you don't respect that rule of life then you have already lost the game.

@@Aron-ru5zk Depend's on which side you're sliding, a door can be really thin in those circumstances...

Can't stand that guy. I used to be a big fan but then he started dissing hennessey, saying it wasn't the "real" first twin turbo C8. Come on, grow up, congratulate your peers, and outdo them. Don't try to take their title.
