The thunderous roar of these is truly something to behold, in person you can feel it deep in your chest. Last time I was at long beach these were the loudest cars on the grid.
Thank you for saying this, you summed it up perfectly. There's just a deep bass roar that echoes for miles with these American cars that does not exist in any other cars on the grid.
GT racing is such a diverse category I’m surprised you’re surprised. The corvettes have always had a deep rumble until the C8, and the Aston Martins of the same era as the C7 had a very similar sound, except when they used v12s.
The c7.r just makes the ground rumble, it’s ridiculously loud. I’ve been to lime rock park and even from up on the infield hill you can feel the earth beneath you shake, it terrifying
@TEMPLE7D Muscle cars are usually about horsepower, straight line speed, and quarter mile times. The Demon and the Hellcat fit that description, the Corvette doesn't.
Allan Jr Fernandez Corvette never has and never will be a muscle car. It was meant to be America's direct competitor to the British sports cars GI's were bring back after the war, so it's been a sports car since the very beginning in '53. It's always had better weight distribution, coil springs and disc brakes front and rear since the early '60s and, in a lot of cases, had more powerful engines and better transmissions than it's 2-ton linebacker cousins. Sadly, the handling was alright and the build quality was sub-par from the late 70s until the end of the previous generation. The Stingray is a huge improvement over its predecessors. So much so that, in my honest opinion, the Corvette is now a proper sports car. It's not exactly America's GT-R, but it's pretty damn advanced compared to most other mass-produced American sports cars I know of and can actually go around a corner properly.
The C7R always sounded to my like a serene appeased beast, a machine that was contained due to regulations, that could do more but couldn't, thanks for the video! And C7R we will always miss you, the last true American muscle corvette!
Incredible LT V8 roar, as loud and proud as a lion and ready to tear the heads off the competition! The Corvette C7 is my personal favorite new car! Amazing shots of this American beauty!
I've watched your videos for a long time, and i just waited to comment till you put the best soundig car in motorsport today. Every time this car passes at night in Le Mans is just orgasmic. Thanks for that Bozzy.
Even the best microphone and headphones will never do this car justice. At Sebring the overall sound was drowned out up close by the Porsche’s top end scream but even when you could barely hear it, you could feel the sound in your bones, it was unreal. It’s just this low pitched extremely loud rumble that feels like it shakes you when you’re real close to the track, it’s amazing what they’ve done with that car, sound and performance-wise!
I've had the pleasure of attending many races where the Corvette C7.R has raced here in the U.S., and nothing is more intoxicating than hearing these cars roar by at wide open throttle. You can actually FEEL and hear it coming from way around the other side of a circuit long before you could actually see it. Truly breathtaking and I miss that sound. Thankfully we have the Mercedes AMG GT3 car's to carry on with that symphony, but just not as loud as the Corvettes.
I was never crazy for Corvettes, until I drove a 2002 C6 with a 6 speed, 350 hp with Borla exhaust system and I totally loved it. I can't imagine how awesome the the C7 is after 15 yrs of development.
Man, that Corvette sound is just incredible! To be honest, it's so loud that it doesn't matter if it's alone on the track or not :P Anyway, "Bozzy Style" may be even better :)
Here in Toronto, they brought Ron Fellows C7R for a demonstration. Good lord, when they turned that car on, all the windows were shaking on the buildings.
While the Ford GT is pretty loud it's sound is also rather bland whereas the Corvette simply sounds as if a primordial monster is coming your way and it intents to hurt you. The Corvette sounds so raw, untamed and intimidating, while the Ford GT gives seems more like a stealth plane: extremely fast and capable but doesn't try to attract your attention
Der Hausmeister, The Janitor They're working on a GTE-Pro deal for WEC. They couldn't get it done for this year so are only competing in a couple of events (so far), this season.
Hey Bozzy. Thank you for this video. I'm not a huge Corvette fan, but this one sounds so deep and manly.💪 LOL! Love that V8 rumble. It sounds like a big block Chevy with much more displacement than 5.5L. Whatever the engineering team did to get that, I like it.👍 I know you would like to record it coming and going with no distractions (to hear the full sound of this car), but as they say, that's racin'.😉 I enjoyed just the same! Great job, sir!👏
No problem mate! It sounds really good but I just need an empty track to appreciate it better. Hope to find it during a test day in the future, maybe here in Monza again. Have a great weekend!
The way to get that sound is to not have a crossover such as an X, H, or Y pipe in the exhaust, and it's called "Divorced Duals". People in the engine design community have argued about it for about 40 years now. The general agreement is that at part throttle, the divorced dual exhaust will "drone" and rumble the entire time. X , H, and Y - pipes remove the rumble and drone to make the raspy sound you get with street-driven corvettes and also Nascar. I've done a fair amount of analysis on this, and the crossover is worth about 1% more torque under the curve if your headers aren't designed for it. On these C7 race cars, the headers are special. They're full-length Tri-Y headers instead of symmetric 4-into-1 headers. With a Tri-Y header, you have the "Manometer physics" that you get at high RPM over the collector. Then you have the resonator physics that go through the primary tubes. Then you have the secondary manometer where the primaries Y-together. Long story short, you want headers, and two pipes that never come together. Bonus points for tri-Y style ones.
Lol. I tried to summarize it at the end. I hate getting on forums and being told what to do, cause this stuff is expensive for a tiny gain. If you research the junk I mentioned, you'll come to the same conclusion, without having to spend $1500 for an X-pipe exhaust that doesn't sound all awesome and rumbly. You'll pay $600 for mufflers and lead pipes, plus get the C7.R sound that's way more awesome!
Those who are disputing about whether Vette's are muscle cars, remember that cars can change. The Camaro and Mustang became pony cars, the Charger became a sports sedan, and the Corvette became one of the cars which people don't know whether it is a regular sports car or supercar. The next gen Corvette C8 Zora would be a rear mid engined supercar, so if you want a true present-day supercar, go to Dodge or Shelby, or just get a used one.
Is it the video or does this somehow sound different than the factory team cars? I've been at a race in person, Sebring, and they thunder past, you can feel it in your chest when they go by.
the beginning of this video is like: "niiiiiiaooooooooo......niiiiiiaooooooo.......niiiiiiiaaaaooooooooo......*C7 incoming*.....vrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
It sounds way better in person. You can actually feel them going by if you're close enough to the track.
Bruh u for real🤨
@@dion65 yes
Dion Jongbloed yep, you actually feel the floor tremble in the exit to the Ford Chicanes at Le Mans
Mario García Pérez thats sarcasm what I said but of course it’s true what he says thats so fucking logic but i shouldve said it on a different way
@@dion65 hard to tell sarcasm from stupidity sometimes. I've seen some dumb comments and yours could easily have been said by some idiot lol

Used to be the Corvette DP, but sadly the DPi doesn't have the same roar:(

The ford gtlm would beg to differ Weedr
eXozGaming ford gt is an American car
I was talking about the deep bass roar, the ford doesn't have a deep roar RehsNahk
That sound, it's visceral, a growl. Best sounding car ever.
u sure bro?
Yes I am, for having been at Le Mans once, it's the only car's sound that everyone that was with me remember.
By far the best sound of its class, but not best sound EVER
Yeah, that's what I think, that's my opinion. You may not agree, but that won't change anything :)
That was not my intention sorry.
Saw them at Lime Rock, the feeling you get in your chest when they roar by is unforgettable
Never have I ever thought the sound of classic V8 to appear from such a GT-looking car.
GT racing is such a diverse category I’m surprised you’re surprised. The corvettes have always had a deep rumble until the C8, and the Aston Martins of the same era as the C7 had a very similar sound, except when they used v12s.

Listening to this harmony helps me find peace
One of the best sounds in motorsport. Thanks Bozzy!
No problem!
American Muscle at its finest
Allan Jr Fernandez Corvettes are definitely sports cars. But yeah, the sound can for sure be classified as muscle.
Brandon Herrera dude, corvette is a muscle car lol
TEMPLE7D Nope.
@TEMPLE7D Muscle cars are usually about horsepower, straight line speed, and quarter mile times. The Demon and the Hellcat fit that description, the Corvette doesn't.

The sound of that brute force V8 pounding down a track, in a car that looks as good as the C7.R does... Love it
This is what a real American-made car sounds like! I love it!
R.I.P.
Zora Arkus-Duntov
The founding father of the legendary American sports car
CORVETTE
Best engine note on the entire WEC grid. Hands down.
I always amazed at how the corvette thumps the pavement and makes the ears shake. Very nice growl
This is my favorite engine sound on the racetracks of the world! Great - Thank you!!
No problem at all!
3:36 Rumbles your chest! Mean sounding racecar!
It sounds like the beast it is
Best. Sound. Ever. No other GT racer comes close to the heavenly roar of this thing, well maybe except the BMW Z4 GT3 or the Aston Martin Vantage GTE.
The C7R always sounded to my like a serene appeased beast, a machine that was contained due to regulations, that could do more but couldn't, thanks for the video! And C7R we will always miss you, the last true American muscle corvette!

No problem! Thank you so much for your support and the great comment! :D
Proof that an engine doesn't need to rev to the moon to have an iconic sound. So much character!
you know the car sounds perfect when it sends a chill down your spine from the growl
That's what I'd expect an American car to sound like perfection 🔥🔥🔥
V8 LS is so cool!!!! Mighty roaring sound....
Best looking and sounding Corvette ever..
The C7 is my favorite modern car, screw Ferrari and Lamborghini. The C7 has a man pedal and an American V8 inside a Supercar body.
Lamborghini is v10
no
@@mouti8995 so what america has answer to that - viper
@@realspeedghxst it also has a V12 got any answer to that?
@@KRMG99 Yeah. Our V8s. More cylinders doesn’t = better.
My favorite race car that I never had the chance to hear in real life
Such a good sounding car
That sound...best thing ever!
More of a Ferrari fan, but the C7 has one of the most iconic sounds in modern endurance racing
Great Video Bozzy! The C7R is just something else...
Thank you so much!
Awesome video,Keep it up!
Thanks!

THE best sound in racing bar NONE, utterly glorious.
Seeing the Vette in real life is nuts
Getting ready for Le Mans, gotta say I love the Ford GT sound but this is absolutely gorgeous

The Cadillac LMDh is much louder than the AMGs
One of my favorite videos from bozzy corvette and the sound of a v8 engine
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I enjoyed it bozzy
GLORIOUS!
good video thanks !
the sound is so good I love it.
one of the best race car sounds
Sounds great, I can tell you from being at Sebring in their day, it is an assault in person. You feel it in your chest. Magnificent!
So much action, such an angry lady. Awesome job Bozz, thanks! B.P.
I was never crazy for Corvettes, until I drove a 2002 C6 with a 6 speed, 350 hp with Borla exhaust system and I totally loved it. I can't imagine how awesome the the C7 is after 15 yrs of development.
This sound reminds me a lot of the Chevy 7-liter big block V8s the McLaren Can Am cars used to use
Almost as bad ass as a Can Am car nothing like a big V8
Man, that Corvette sound is just incredible! To be honest, it's so loud that it doesn't matter if it's alone on the track or not :P Anyway, "Bozzy Style" may be even better :)
This, vantage V8 and RSR sounded fantastic
At the motul petit le mans at Road Atlanta, you can feel and hear this car coming from the large straight. Its amazing
Love the sound from this car!!!
Ground pounding V8 muscle...great !!!!
3:00 the lawnmowers roll by and then the Vette just roars like a lion
Sure does sound great pleasure to listen to fantastic track keep the videos coming 😍
Thanks Bozzy Another Great Video Keep It Up!!
Thanks a lot for your comment!
Here in Toronto, they brought Ron Fellows C7R for a demonstration. Good lord, when they turned that car on, all the windows were shaking on the buildings.
Corvette and Aston Martin. Both can be heard in this video and without a doubt the best sounding cars at Le Mans.
Perfect racing sounds,and nothing compares to them,right?
Skip to 3:50 for the best clip of the whole video imo!
_rodc11o_ because of that V8 Vantage!
Fantastica Corvette!!! Fantastico sound!! Bel video!!!
Grazie!
nice vid Chevy sounds great 👌
Thanks!
I will never be onboard with the sound of the new flat-plane crank 'vettes
Same. Sounds to European
The Corvette and Ford GT are definitely 2 of th eloudest GT cars racing today
Javier Rosado Jr. and the new rsr
While the Ford GT is pretty loud it's sound is also rather bland whereas the Corvette simply sounds as if a primordial monster is coming your way and it intents to hurt you. The Corvette sounds so raw, untamed and intimidating, while the Ford GT gives seems more like a stealth plane: extremely fast and capable but doesn't try to attract your attention
Yeah you feel it in your chest !! 🚀
a world class sports. cars like the viperacr, mustang350r, ZL1 are great track cars
Go Larbre! Prettiest and meaniest car in GTE class!
Its like im watching days of thunder. Best sound ever
4:52 Corvette #1. Born in America; Raised in Europe. I love you, Europe.
Thinking about this sound being gone from LeMans makes me sad :(
El Corvette C7 es el bebé de mis sueños 🙌🙌😍😍
My favourite race track car ever.....
Interesting that Larbre Competition have decided to compete in the ELMS and not the WEC...
Der Hausmeister, The Janitor They're working on a GTE-Pro deal for WEC. They couldn't get it done for this year so are only competing in a couple of events (so far), this season.
More teams should use this car !
OK sounds as nasty as the Panoz GTR 1 and that IMO is the ultimate engine note of this kind
3:50 harmony!
2:44 and 2:50 are what's up.
Humanity struck gold when the V8 was born.

healing sound
sounds great, the only sound that beats it is from the ls7r c6r
PARAMITA GHOSAL there is no ls7 its the c7.r designated engine
jdr ok dude, she's talking about the old C6R
1. 7L GT1
2. 6.2L GT3
3. 5.5L GT2
Okay this car is BADASS!!!!

senza flangie nell'aspirazione e limitazioni varie, quanti cavalli potrebbe fare questa Corvette se "liberata"?
4:07 Aston Martin X Chevrolet = super growl V8
maravilloso!!
I can feel the torque through my phone screen
cool Vette =)
The 458 sounds great!
It sounds like a weed-whacker compared to the C7.R.
Those pushrods, just pushing.
Fantástico !
just can't imagine a Corvette with a flat plane crank
the beginning of this video is like: "niiiiiiaooooooooo......niiiiiiaooooooo.......niiiiiiiaaaaooooooooo......*C7 incoming*.....vrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
Is that the only C7.R on the grid? I noticed the video only showed the 50 car.
APACHESTRATHE140 yes it is
now was this car originally owned by the Corvette Racing and sold once they finished the season or something?
picsnics32 yeah they are one or two year old models sold to privateers.
goed bezig 👍 👍 👍 👍
Coolest car ever!
Sounds like a Nascar engine
beautiful sound.
hai filmato anche la 458? :)
Certamente
Louder than thunder irl
Wow
Wow! Is all that I've to say.
