metalhead2508 Thats a myth. I hate the prius as much as the next guy, but that "the batteries are worse for the environment than what they safe" is just not true and makes you sound like the climate change deniers.
LedKenji666 Are you an expert in industrial carbon footprints? Probability decides against it; If you were, you would have a more professionally decent conduct, not to mention something to contribute to the conversation, let alone society. So basically what I'm saying is: If you can't contribute positive and constructive thinking, then at least have the decency to filter your stupidity as so not to contaminate anybody else's intelligence... and stop being a troll - to become a troll on the internet is like being a piece of fecal matter in a sewage treatment facility; you are one of many, functionally like any other - just another P.O.S. And yes, the industrial methods to gain the required materials to manufacture a *single* battery bank outweigh the benefit to driving a hybrid after you take into effect: 1. The mining process - The combined affect the large machines (powered by immense internal combustion engines themselves) have on the atmosphere and on the land, strip mining millions of tons of landmass to acquire the raw minerals, which then need to be refined through... 2. The refining process - The use of highly caustic chemicals, which the reaction(s) with the minerals to separate and clean them release toxic and carcinogenic vapors into the atmosphere, to create a readily usable (albeit inefficient) alkaline metal, where it then gets sent to be manufactured through processes already applied to other batteries. And what's worse is the batteries are powering the vehicles under 40mph, which is fine until you account that the majority of travel in the US is on freeways and interstates, which the speed limits of which are higher than 40mph, So really, anybody is better off just using a standard vehicle. The only benefit to a Prius is: when *trying* be eco-friendly by driving under 40mph, you are in turn slowing other people down, and reducing *their* carbon footprint, just as Engineering Explained Jason was experiencing in the video! Cheers mate, Alaester Nikolai Modern.
Great review Jason, really well done! Looks like a ton of fun! If someone is spending this type of money they'd be crazy to not seriously consider one of these.
subaruwrxfan Thanks Matt, it's an awesome car for sure. Definitely bang for the buck, even if it is a bit expensive. Looking forward to your thoughts on the CTS V-Sport!
+Engineering Explained +subaruwrxfan +thatdudeinblue Big fan of you guys. I've been watching you for about more than two years now. I would like to meat you guys to talk everything cars.
subaruwrxfan some people are simply not interested in american muscle cars like the corvette... just like some people will only buy them and not German cars.
There are way too many Corvette haters out there. I think that it's because they don't understand what it stands for. The Corvette is an American Icon that represents the American Dream. This car is not some Eurotrash bi-turbo German-overengineered pretentious POS that leaks oil after 10,000 miles. This is a car with a legendary small block V8 that can thrill and corner well for around $60,000. Also, I can guarantee that most of the haters have never driven one (or any of the cars that they claim are better).
Engineering Explained Ok, so maybe the Germans do make wonderfully enjoyable cars, but I think my point still stands. The Corvette isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: A fun and relatively affordable thrill machine. My dislike of German cars stems from a series of problem-riddled BMWs, but the Germans do know how to make fun cars in general. Would you rather have the Corvette or a Cayman GTS?
+Shade Tree Giants When you buy a Porsche you will buy it because of the history and quality that is attached to it. You can't really compare these cars. The Corvette is a hot blooded sports car while the Porsche is more of a luxury item and a status symbol. Being from Germany, though, I have to say I'd rather get a Corvette for the massive V8, an engine that is very rare here.
OhMyKMPR I agree with you. Another person commented below that he would rather have the Porsche Cayman GTS, so that's why I asked the question. I agree that Porsche's are more luxurious and have more prestige. The Corvette is more of a working-class sports car (although they can be quite expensive when optioned out). I would rather have the Corvette as well, although I'm not wealthy enough to afford either, lol. I'm waiting for the Honda Civic Type R to hit the US.
Shade Tree Giants Not to be coy - but I wasn't aware that this specific car was listed as part of an overarching philosophical ideology of individual worth and success. :P But I will agree it's a good car. Big engines are not my cup of tea though
Jason you are beginning to need a track more and more.. I really can only suggest for u to look for a track in your area and possible deal you could do with them in order to try the cars a bit more... Its currently the biggest most needed thing on your reviews.. i like how u start to play with the words.. its getting really enjoyable to watch (not that it hasnt been untill now - all im saying is that I see the improvement - keep it up man!)
Mikee CZ Thanks! These are press cars and I'm prohibited from tracking them without approval. I'll have to wait until I'm a bit of a bigger fish in this world before getting that kind of gig going on, but the channel is growing fast so we can hope!
Maybe u should look into a racing licence :) i reckon id be much easier with it :) But whats thhe point after all, soon we. will discover that u r gonna have some new colleagues.. Some Jenson Button guy and Some Chris Evans or whoisit :)
+Engineering Explained You are in Oregon right? I recognize some of the scenery as I've been in the Portland and surrounding areas and if you do decide to go to a track, you've got Portland International Raceway which is a solid track.
I more meant, keep it the way as it is, and as addition to this, add some performance display too, i agree that with almost any road legal car people will buy for every day use, the every day use review matters.. but if there are many people who buy these things and never go for a track day, they re just missing out big one
I really liek this although my goal is buying a used Cayman. A bargain! My friend paid $30k for a Miata back in '09...which I did not think was gud enough when I can soon buy a used Stingray for $40k-$50k!
Awesome review. Did you ever do a c6? Vettes are the best performance value in the sports car market. And, they shift faster under full throttle as you found out.
I think it would be cool to see more of your technical side in the car reviews. There are a million reviewers out there but few who can accurately explain how the latest technology on these cars actually works, i.e. how the magnetic ride on a Corvette like this works or how the ATTESA E-TS works on a GT-R, etc.
I just cant bring myself to liking much less purchasing sports cars these days. Don't you just miss the ol' days of just a stick shift, gas, and brake pedal. None of these electronic crap that requires you to take your car to the dealer for every little issue. Also, this corvette stingray allow you to only run on 4 cylinders. WHY in the hell would anyone want this? Seriously? Takes the Sport outta Sports car if you ask me...
This is my DREAM car. But by the time I can afford one it will be outdated and probably have TONS of problems due to age. So in sum , I will NEVER be able to get this car :/
Z51 convertible in silver with red interior and automatic transmission... this is the setup that gives the vette that retired old man stereotype right? haha great car & review regardless. I'm curious how it's gonna hold up over the years & miles... I'm hoping to snag a Z06 in the future when\if it depreciates a bit
You didn't talk about the material the car was made of... I heard it was plastic. Can you confirm? If so, how much more would this car have cost in aluminum?
But what about driving in all kinds of weather with those slick racing tires; must be dangerous with rear wheel drive??? The tires are for summer usage only...
It has hella tuning potential though gm is known for making these iron block v8s and they last forever with more torque than hp besides its way better then Any v8 Germany can make lmao high revving = lower and torque and they are unreliable af and cost money to rebuild... the LT1 is a masterpiece
like ur videos! pricing and performance standpoint i still think ur subaru has great value, heheh! same as for this car to some beemers and merc out there. i saw two hondas on the highway in the 10 minute mark, honda civic and honda accord.. is there a lot of honda cars out there? hahaha!
Engineering Explained Your words were the most charitable I've ever heard about a Prius. In a similar situation, most of mine have been prefaced by expletives... quite a lot of them.
That camera by your shoulder makes your arms look like they are attached somewhere else, haha. It's not really a big deal, it just looks strange when you look at it. Great video though!
Jonathan Roberson the small block Chevy series engines work very well for GM, they're lighter than most 6 cylinders while having double the displacement. An LS engine with overhead cam would make on average 10% - 15% more power for the same displacement pushrod engine. So if you're in GM's position, why make an engine bigger and heavier when you can just add displacement to the OHV design and still make it lighter and smaller.
Jason, what is the reason for the "G force" gauge? Is it just a gimmick selling point or do they have it tied into what could be a potential traction loss in cornering?
Excellent Video as usual Please can you do one on the C7 Z51 with Muffler & Resonator Delete ? Would love to know how to do this on my car + fixing the check engine lights that most likely will appear because of removing it
You know what? you know what has to end? this nonsense, I´m sick of this! - Leather gaters on automatic shift levers, who you fooling? what? am I supposed to believe that this is stick? HOW DUM DO YOU THING I AM? - Mr. Regular
such a big engine with not so much power.... German engineers could get so much more power and more efficiently with that size displacement. underneath the car looks like it's 1995... no blind spot indicater on the side mirrors even with a giant blind spot. no finnese
I rather get a more affordable GT500 and smoke any Vette. And NO I do not mean on a track, I mean on a drag strip. So please don't pull the "track" excuse lol
you're gonna be able to buy gt350 with more power for less . nuff said. I work with vettes all day . I hate the car and most of the people who drive them .
I've always wondered. should American cars such as this be "Supercharged or Turbocharged" because turbos give a higher power output than superchargers...
+VISH_AZ Both :) Superchargers haven't got the lag that you experience with turbocharged cars because they are powered by the engine itself. On the other side, turbochargers don't need to be powered be the engine to charge the engine because they are powered by exhaust gas. There are VNT/VGT turbochargers (variable geometry) that reduce lag, multi-turbo lag-reducing configs (a little turbo to spin up quick and then power an additional bigger turbo (or more) for top end power) but there are also hybrid-charge configurations. In that scenario a supercharger is paired with a (big) turbo to completely get rid of the lag.
Haha wow bro you are so awesome! I'm so happy to see your channel getting bigger and bigger every year. Keep going and you'll host top gear or something in the future.
Yes It is! I'm a fan of your videos, from the white board until now, but this one is definitely a big improvement even when compared with your most recent uploads!
Why does this car at 0:20 have a clear and distinctive color separation and difference between the front fender and the door? The color change is cut along the door gap as if the front fender was wrecked and repainted poorly in a non matching shade? I discount any claim that its just the angle of view because any shade would not cut along the door jamb gap the way that does. What's up???
Stew2460 The panels are at different angles from one another, so they look like different shades from that camera angle. The exterior is nearly flawless.
Engineering Explained ... Well, the explanation of it is certainly not going to solve world hunger or anything really important, but I still cant see how any angle can produce such a defined "cut line" that ebbs and flows as it does and maintain that distinct color difference. Some of the darker panel would certainly bleed over from the fender to the door if it was just an angle. "Light" cannot be constrained and made to slam on brakes just because it's transferring from the fender to the door.
Engineering Explained I think your choice of words **dangerously** in describing it, also says a lot! Not just anyone should get behind the wheel of that car! You need to be a bit of a beast to operate such a Beast! haha
"There's a Prius in front of me. Offsetting my carbon footprint. Thank you Prius" - Brilliant
metalhead2508 I couldn't agree more, the Prius is the definition of automotive hypocrisy, but he was just being sarcastic in the video.

personally luv this trim except i am not a fan of the convertible
i like
I wish they used a more traditional design for the rear-end. Current one is pretty ugly. Too bad because rest of the car looks beatiful.
0:31 I like the digital instrumentation but not the analogue ones at the sides. They seem redundant.
When you are showcasing a sports car, get into the sports car performance before the cool features
Pretty crazy that Corvettes and Camaros are still using OHV engines, and getting great performance with them.
Jonathan Roberson the small block Chevy series engines work very well for GM, they're lighter than most 6 cylinders while having double the displacement.

What is the oil consumption rate on this engine? there is a noticeable amount of blue and black smoke exiting the exhaust pipes.
Jason, what is the reason for the "G force" gauge? Is it just a gimmick selling point or do they have it tied into what could be a potential traction loss in cornering?
Wow! In 2015 they still put OHV engines in sports cars... LOL

Jason, do you think you could do a video on wheel alignment and how it works?
the first and second gear it has so much torque, i hit 60 mph in my c7z in first gear at 5500 rpm !

"Weather happening"? You meant rain, right? Because weather is always happening, regardless of whether it's rainy, sunny or foggy. :-)

Oohh sorry man, I totally didn't get that! No offense! Have a good one
Literally the perfect car for a convertible
TheAutoHaven I'd prefer the hardtop, which you can remove actually.
Why does this car at 0:20 have a clear and distinctive color separation and difference between the front fender and the door? The color change is cut along the door gap as if the front fender was wrecked and repainted poorly in a non matching shade? I discount any claim that its just the angle of view because any shade would not cut along the door jamb gap the way that does. What's up???
Stew2460 The panels are at different angles from one another, so they look like different shades from that camera angle. The exterior is nearly flawless.
Engineering Explained ... Well, the explanation of it is certainly not going to solve world hunger or anything really important, but I still cant see how any angle can produce such a defined "cut line" that ebbs and flows as it does and maintain that distinct color difference. Some of the darker panel would certainly bleed over from the fender to the door if it was just an angle. "Light" cannot be constrained and made to slam on brakes just because it's transferring from the fender to the door.
sick review and always great info for a newbie like me! glad to see your doing good in life!
This and the Mustang are some of the only American cars I like.
+Dell0304 what about the Tesla P90D. 0-60 in 2.8sec and it looks really slick imo.
That too, yeah.
I don't like Chrysler in general.
Yeah I guess so. I'm really not a huge fan of muscle cars, more an import guy myself
for about 55k, awesome value. I spent same amount money on a 335i M package.
You had me dying from laughter when you said "weather, for when weather is happening"
nice review, big fan of vettes and Subaru awd cars here, when I grow up I wanna drive a c7 and an sti
I like that you do a review of the interior and ease of use, instead of just driving dynamics.
Whoa! There are two different tachometer styles?
5:01 Why didn't you wave back?
All's i know is that these corvettes have the most comfortable seats i've ever sat in!!!
Weather: for when weather is happening.
Excellent review! I would love to hear about rev-matching in the manual too.
What is the gas mileage for this car, maybe compared to others...?
cpawp 16/29, I believe I mentioned it in the video. :)
ew that electronic parking brake...
automatic seems sluggish at part throttle, but it rips shifts at full throttle
Probably in touring mode. Most cars will dull the throttle response in a touring/eco mode. Switch to sport and it'll react quicker.
For having the power it does, I was not expecting it to launch at 2,000 rpms
+Matt McLellan Anything higher results in a burnout.
+Engineering Explained all the torque
as always...fantastic review...thks..
Do you use a GoPro without an external mic for these reviews, by any chance?
***** I use a sony external mic, you can see it on my shirt. :)
Engineering Explained and the camera is a GoPro?
For the money 370 Z way better
Part of me wanted a cop to be just past the Off Ramp :) woulda been funny is all
I didn't speed!
like any officer would believe a young guy in a Vette? haha honestly id pull you over to look at it either way xD
lol I love the prius comment.
hey men where did you studied your engineering? thanks!
Smile factor went off the charts again, to a giggle/laugh! Says a lot! haha
StevenSWM Haha, this thing is dangerously fun.
Engineering Explained I think your choice of words **dangerously** in describing it, also says a lot! Not just anyone should get behind the wheel of that car! You need to be a bit of a beast to operate such a Beast! haha
