guy acts like we are hating but im just stating facts. i have driven the c8 and owned MANY vettes over the years...the king of vettes is still the C7Zr1 IMO.

now if he would have shown a c7zr1 gapping a gt500 i would believe it...lol
bro... are u fukin retarded? do u know how easy it is to get more power from an LS motor? its laughable. there are junkyard ls motors making 1000HP. what does a ZR1 make???? remind me. have u ever turned an actual wrench in your whole life? u act like a person has to buy a zr1 to get 800 hp. its crazy.

I get it's mid engine but even with modern transmissions it takes a certain amount of power to make a weight accelerate at a certain rate.

im not even gonna respond any further than this... ure right...... 500HP from a c8 is the absolute limit. no way to make it outrun a zr1. the tranny wont take it.... i have to join arabian oaks country club to be fast and get the good tranny thats in the C7zr1. got it. understood.

Never said that nor did anyone else. Argument was C8 is making more power then represented in the title.

power means nothing without the chassis, suspension, etc to set things up...i don't act that way, I am telling you that it is NOT POSSIBLE that a c8 with "bolt-ons" is beating a gt500 in a roll race.

Now go back to work and get that overtime in.

its a GREAT car just without the HP of the rest of the exotics... its a great car for me to fly through the hood lookin good in. it hooks like valcro. its light.... i dont have enough money to buy a ferrari or mclaren. this will have to do. i have a FAST bike. really fast... not an 8 second car...... really fast. 500 pound bike that makes over 600HP. scary fast. one of a hanfull of streetbikes that actually made 600hp and can prove it and idles and doesnt overheat or do any weird shit. LOTS of work gettuing that bike at 1000 percent and a years salary almost. Im very proud of that bike. If i had the money.. u can bet your ass i would have bought the ferrari though. no question, The truth is... I am lucky to even have the corvette. I feel blessed. I risked my life for a LONG time to be able to do this. 1000 hours of overtime. But i got there. Alot of people work very hard and for a long time and NEVER get to drive/own one of these cars. Some other people come from money and their dad owns a business or whatever and they get to live a certain type of life. I was born handsome....... NOT rich. So the corvette is as far as i go. And im ok with that. Im blessed. i have my health... some of my youth left and people that love me. I feel great. The c8 is a GREAT car. I have zero debt and 3 credit cards... lets see if i cant add 300HP in time...... I LOVE to tinker and modify stuff and its no secret how to really juice up an LS(now its called an LT motor)....PANTY DROPPER.
The C8 is a great car and you should be proud of what you have been able to accomplish. Just be careful about boasting too much. Let the car do the talking. Just know there is always someone who has more money and is faster.

tesla plaid will beat the c8 ANYWHERE you pick. i know it beat the c8 by a full 10 seconds at laguna seca.

the gt500 smokes the c8 at laguna too.

i know your impressed with the c8 but let's really call it what it really is...a copied mclaren 12c/ferrari 488 without turbos and without mclaren/ferrari racing tech.

i had my mclaren when the c8 came out and could not believe how much chevy copied the 12c in design etc.
The Plaid lap you are referring to was gutted on slicks with aero... and that'd be a one or maybe two lap wonder on the USA's most point and shoot track.

why bother? let him think what he wants. He is better than YOU... thats what u NEED to understand. internalize it. He owns or has owned SEVERAL supercars and a tesla plaid... he looks down any anyone who modifies a working mans car and manages to outrun something he bought., he thinks a tesla plaid outruns anything anywhere, he honestly believes this....... you are a pebble on this guys shoe. There are a couple of these guys in every group. One brainless twit said i brought "little dick" energy when i even mentioned racing a supercar or tesla plaid with a motorcycle... go figure. Gotta wonder ewho has the small dick now dontcha. But i kinda understand it... they look DOWN on motorcycle also. they think its unfair.... lol.. imagine that. its unfair!!!!!!

that C8 is for sure spraying. my lowly old 17yr old Benz pulls pretty soundly on a stock C8. stock GT500s trap 129-131 bone stock. C8s trap low 120-121. homie aint making up 10mph in trap on a car that can't be tuned.

I don't know if it is spraying or not but if it was a 200 shot, then I think it would have left the GT 500.

no shit... but the car cant be tuned yet via ecu. The female with the 1200HP c8 and the fuel tek car allll run like 2 or 3 standalone ECUs to lie to the ECU. The problem is that strategy isnt very efficient. There is NO WAY to pull timing or reduce engine torque between shifts the way we could if we had access to the ECU. As soon as someone can get into this ECU and make adjustemnts the RIGHT way... its gonna be a terror. Im looking for the prices of these goddam turbo kits to come down a LITTLE and tune it via ECU and make 750 HP or so. I would be content at that power level. I love the car though. its sharp as hell. its LIGHT(er) which always makes things easier. People already make upgraded clutches for it to hold power. I wouldnt want to pay for or trust ANY piggyback system in a car that im driving alot on the street. Itll happen eventually. Itg would also be nice to reduce weight even firther and end up at 3200 pounds. Maybe im dreaming about that weight reduction though... who knows.

lol.. thats probably the greatest compliment u could give the chevy. wow. it does have 6.2 liters to work with.......... imagine the thumping the mustang would take if the c8 had a turbo kit on it and a tunable ecu....... that day will feel like christmas to me.

Escort GT argument is dumb.

A stock gt500 traps what… 128mph? 130?

This “fastest NA Vette” might trap 125.

I trapped 125 with a e85 tune and cold air intake—literally nothing else on a 10 speed Mustang.

Video is much to do about nothing to be honest.
