      "weighs so much less" - and it's still an absolute TANK, ugh. My biggest qualm with that car, the design the most gnarly engine that the Corvette has ever gotten, but they don't put it in a package that has REAL weight reduction on par with that engine. The Z07 option gives a decent weight reduction, but I believe it's all just from the Carbon Revolution wheels, doesn't seem like they went after weight anywhere else. "The best Corvette ever" shouldn't weigh 3700lbs lol.

Auto journalists are required to run door panel psi recommendations which is 35psi, and it beads the tire to have safer traction in rain and the slick portion of the tire stays lifted off the surface.

    Before I get into the main subject here, let's give credit where credit is due: another most excellent video.
    Great camera placement, impeccable editing, great sound, entertaining (sometimes hilarious) comment, and a professional handling and delivery of a subject matter which is not easy to capture in video. Hats off to your entire team.
    On the actual subject, I must disclose I'm a hardcore GM guy: I have right now in my garage a 4gen FIREBIRD, a 5gen CAMARO and a CHEVY SUV.
    Having said that, while I'm elated and impressed by the CORVETTE demolishing performance and consistent results, I do acknowledge the victory of the pony car in this contest.
    True to its roots as an affordable high performance steed with a somewhat accesible price range; an authentic contact sport athlete which put up one serious fight; the contender punching above its weight class.
    The C8 Z06 VETTE is, in its own right, a legitimate world class, top tier super sports automobile. It delivered results according to its pedigree and exotic car status.
    For about half the price, and much lesser mechannical complexity, the MUSTANG SHELBY GT delivers above its price range and fulfills all the high and exacting expectations set up for it. Delivered stupendous results which, under other conditions, can be improved upon - that is the most impressive issue here: these results are not the absolute capabilities of the car.
    It's quite a car... no, it is a huge lot of high performance auto for the money.
    And that makes it a deserving winner in any objective and impartial contest or comparison.
    Again, thanks for an outstanding and entertaining presentation.

    In the C8 you can look back into the engine bay. I work part time in the service department of a Chevrolet dealership as a car runner. Yesterday was my 3rd time parking a C8. It’s basically a gokart with a body on it. Visibility is poor especially to the right and rear, your eyes aren’t much higher than the top of the front fenders but I’m sure it would fun on the road or a track. If I’m having a day in which I’m feeling stiff it’s a challenge to get into and out of.

      You're just making numbers up as you go along. I looked at the shelby when they first came out. Was $168k so $50k over sticker. I wouldn't pay over sticker for any car. The window sticker on the Z06 is under $130k. Fools wanna pay $200k for the Z06. Compare the window stickers. The Z06 beats the million dollar Ford GT to death. Explain that.

    I wanna see The E Ray go up against The C8 Z06! I think no one really shows this yet to keep the over inflated value up for the Z06 because the E Ray just may give the Z a spanking surprisingly, that extra 135 pound/feet of torque gotta go somewhere 😅😊
