@@filipjnc It's mostly pumped in but the combo sounds great. I bet you can hear the wine from the outside. I love the real electric whine sound of my Chevy Volt. No piped in sound for that, but when the gas engine is also on, it probably does drown out almost all of the motor sound.
Idk why anyone dislikes the electric whines combined with the gas engine. Basically sounds like some new-age supercharger, which is basically how the electric motor is used lol
With the E-ray it is like the Corvette has a model to compete with every 911. Base Corvette - Carrera Z51 - Carrera S E-ray - Turbo Z06 - GT3 Z07 - GT3 RS ZR1 - GT2 Now all Chevy needs is a variant for the Carrera T and GTS
Who cares what Porsche model is somewhat comparable? People with 200k to spend will buy whatever the hell they want and it doesn't have to make sense or be the most competitive car in the segment...
Corvette doesn't really have any RS competitor. Unfortunately. They teased a C6 Z06X concept about a decade ago that was close but apparently Corvette customers haven't asked for all-out track variant.
As someone that has ridden in one, this car is seriously no joke. If youv ever ridden the old top thrill dragster from Cedar point that’s the closest feeling.
I definitely love the Z06 and new ZR1 but if I had the money this is the one I would buy! There are already tuners that have stroked the 6.2 liter out to 7 liters with upgraded loping cams! That sounds like heaven!!!
1) you guys are great, all natural, no additives.. 2) one solid colour all day long, no tacky stripes no contrasting colour air scoops, contrasting grille and diffuser is just enough.. 3) great job of matching up the electric motors with a real engine.. full ev's might be temporarily fast and a few even handle but they're still baked tortilla chips (bland) with no salt (BLAND)...
I’ve been waiting for a direct axle hybrid for so long. Those Le Mans hybrid cars are so insane, I’m so unbelievably happy I could now see a car on the road this will switch its meaty v8 on mid pull
This is the corvette I will buy at some point. The Z06 is just sick but for the street, this is the car to have. Love the hybrid power system! It really seems to work together seamlessly. Chevrolet has really outdone themselves with the Z06 and the E-Ray! I'm not a huge fan of the regular C8 but these are amazing!
Corvette really did the interior sounds well. The electric/gas transition enhances the sound profile and gives character versus others in the industry just replacing sound entirely.
I completely forgot about that Cadillac Race car. It’s cool to see how the technology gets passed down from racing to production cars, even if it’s only available in higher trim performance cars
We have a Camry hybrid in the family and after 15 years and 425000km the hybrid battery needed replacement. We had to drive the car to Montana (better pricing) but we had a rebuilt battery installed into the car for like $2500. The car drives like it’s brand new again. That is the only item to fail on the vehicle with the exception of a set of rear suspension bushings which tend to fail prematurely maybe every 100000km or so.
Loved this car since it was introduced. Great power numbers with the electric/V8 combo. Love that crossover sound from hybrid to V8. And really cool design idea on those shirts!
0:54 Don't tell me that's the actual sound of the car outside when accelerating 🤯🤯 That's insane! I thought the electric sounds were only piped inside the cabin
I love that spec, absolutely perfect. Love that blue, so sweet with the white interior. Reverse from Uri I would actually like the back vents blacked out and even the side vent with the black trim just to cut the color up a little.
The e ray is my favorite of them all. That electric to gas is just awesome. I know it won’t have as much horsepower as the new one but who cares , it’s still fast and the torque is on point!
Not a fan of any electricification but this is exceptional. The V8 sounds like old school Koenigsegg. Jakub/Yuri, badges aside, would you take this over a 458?
4:31 Such a clever idea on the T-Shirts! If anyone steals this idea, I will personally hunt them down myself and sue them to oblivion. 💪🏼😂👍🏼 (“I’ve made it this far”)
Just want to say I’m a big fan of the these shirts! DESIGN REQUEST- can you put the big design logo on the back and a little design logo around the front pocket area
The Eray is a BEAST, I owned my c8 zo6 for a year and put 4k miles on it and loved it. I've owned my Eray for a few months now and put 2500 miles on it, I like the Eray more than the zo6. It does need a loud exhaust though, I went with AWE Track exhaust on mine and its perfection.
Eray is the better daily for sure. I had a C8Z for about 8 months and loved it, but it belongs on a track. My luck would only go so far trying to constantly hear that motor rev up and I would definitely wind up in jail haha. Eray is quicker and more practical for the street.
After 6 months of owning my c8, I’m looking to get a z06. That sound is just intoxicating. Maybe I need to do some research on the Eray before I make that jump
I think the zora will likely be the zo6 engine (no turbos) with the hybrid setup from the eray. It would be the perfect vette in my opinion, the instant torque and awd grip from the electric motor, coupled with the high revving and beautiful sounding N/A Z06 engine. Give the option to have the track aero kit from the zr1 installed and I think it might be the preferred choice for a lot of customers.
The crossover is a bit like going from impulse engines to warp drive. So, what roads were you on in Colorado? There are great roads around Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins but you have to avoid some of them because of the traffic.
I'm not "ripping" on the highway, i'm ripping on the "track". I want to see a track review of the ERay. My allocation is on restraint right now, but I have to make an order decision very soon. I want to know mostly about how the AWD handles in track conditions, what does it do in corners with the extra weight and how does the AWD work coming out of balance?
It sounds like there is "more" oversteer? Hrmmm... need a good track review. What about lowering? The eray appears to be lowered more in the front than the original C8 Z51.
One of my favorite videos was the Mclaren 720s videos straight pipes did. I think the 720s is now the best supercar value for the money on the used market AND likely very underrated out of fear of the mclaren reliability and depreciation. But the days of 3000lb cars are done and the fact they use an all carbon fiber chassis at the price point is a crazy value. I think the closest competitor that uses a carbon chassis is the Revuelto at 600 to 700K? For GM, the issue with their cars are the lack of steering feel. I think the ZR1 is gonna be amazing outside of the ZR1 steering and driver feel department. Traction will be an issue getting that power down so I expect it to be only slightly faster than a 720s at about 250K before mark ups.
Awesome car but if price is no object I would take a 911 Turbo over this. Compared to a base 911 at a similar price point the E-Ray becomes super compelling.
@dallasreed just won the LSFest East Grand Champion (Total score from AutoX, 3S Challenge, Drag) with a brand new ERay against some highly prepped cars and amazing drivers. Only mod was a fresh set of A052 tires. I can only imagine what a prepped car would do.
NEW MERCH! TSP15 for 15% off! thestraightpipes.creator-spring.com/
Amaaaazing! Can you do an NB1 Miata and/or MK6 GTI?!
pls make a f150 raptor, a ranger raptor, or a bronco raptor one. that would be sickkk!
Yes send me a photo of your car on insta @yuritereshyn and I’ll do whatever
I can do the Raptors, but the grill won’t see Ford so it may not look cool
Annual fleet update for Yuriy to include electric scooter. @@shieldsupscotty
That transition from electric to gas sounds like a spaceship 😮💨
The sound of that Hybrid to gas engine transition is becoming one of my favorite car sounds. The Cadillac racecar sounds superb.
Chevrolet KILLED it with the design and engineering of the C8… in all variations. Kudos to those engineers!
So copying a ferrari did it for u?
More like design overkill, and the factory wheel setup ruins it.
@@tfarrington I agree. First thing I did was get rid of factory wheels. Offset is terrible. All C8 wheels suck
@@G82WattsMaaan what??.. The mid engine Corvette has been Chevrolet's dream for decades...
@@G82Wattswhat model Ferrari do you own?
The combination of the gas engine and whine of the electric motor sounds amazing!
That's pumped in via the speakers. No e-motors of any power output are as loud in the interior.
@@filipjnc It's mostly pumped in but the combo sounds great. I bet you can hear the wine from the outside. I love the real electric whine sound of my Chevy Volt. No piped in sound for that, but when the gas engine is also on, it probably does drown out almost all of the motor sound.

Easily the most upbeat Jakub has been in a loooong time! Fantastic start to finish, and the shirts are great!
V8
With the E-ray it is like the Corvette has a model to compete with every 911.
Base Corvette - Carrera
Z51 - Carrera S
E-ray - Turbo
Z06 - GT3
Z07 - GT3 RS
ZR1 - GT2
Now all Chevy needs is a variant for the Carrera T and GTS
Wouldn't the ZR1 be the GT2RS?
ZR1 isnt gonna compete with a GT2 RS when it weighs almost 4k pounds . Z06 cant even compare to a GT3 RS.
No Turbo S competitor?🤔
Who cares what Porsche model is somewhat comparable? People with 200k to spend will buy whatever the hell they want and it doesn't have to make sense or be the most competitive car in the segment...
Corvette doesn't really have any RS competitor. Unfortunately. They teased a C6 Z06X concept about a decade ago that was close but apparently Corvette customers haven't asked for all-out track variant.
It’s brutal an AWD vette is wild and it’s stunning.
AWD is a bit of a stretch... its more like a FWD and a RWD at the same time... or... at separate times lol.
Finally! The AWD Corvette review!
For the second time lol
The C8 Corvette is the best American car ever made, period. Also I freaking want a shirt with my Mazdaspeed3 face on it!!!
Ok in red?
@@TheStraightPipes Oh yes please!
This is hands down one of the most fun videos you’ve ever done.
That transition is just like the Caddy hypercar, i love how they implement it perfectly on the vette
As someone that has ridden in one, this car is seriously no joke. If youv ever ridden the old top thrill dragster from Cedar point that’s the closest feeling.
We meet again boys, back on the throne with another vid
💩💩💩
😂
I forgot my playback speed was set to 1.5x when I started the video, and was like holy smokes that Vette is quick! It really is quick though haha.
I definitely love the Z06 and new ZR1 but if I had the money this is the one I would buy! There are already tuners that have stroked the 6.2 liter out to 7 liters with upgraded loping cams! That sounds like heaven!!!
Oh my gosh, that transition to engine is bloody fantastic! :O
1:47 YOUR WELCOME
YOU'RE*
Thank you
my welcome?
my welcome what? welcome mat?
I was gonna put the time of the video too but I seen your comment lol. It's sounds like the Cadillac race car.
This is the ultimate daily Corvette. I would ABSOLUTELY drive the shit out of this thing in the winter on broken Detroit roads lol.
I get mine in a couple weeks, can't wait!
Rip it
Do a street 1/4mile
Great👍
Strangely, this is the version of new Corvette that excites me the most. What a sound!
ZR1 HELLO?!?!
@@TheTyisawesome but the zr1 isnt awd
@@AnthonyDavis-zk8kj ahh that's true maybe the Zora they talking about will be?!
Love the retro synthwave music at the beginning of this video! LOVE the E-Ray's sound, performance, AWD...wow!! On my dream car list!! Stunning!!
1) you guys are great, all natural, no additives..
2) one solid colour all day long, no tacky stripes no contrasting colour air scoops, contrasting grille and diffuser is just enough..
3) great job of matching up the electric motors with a real engine.. full ev's might be temporarily fast and a few even handle but they're still baked tortilla chips (bland) with no salt (BLAND)...

Well, to answer you titled question, YES it definitely is !
The Corvette is fresher, more exciting overall and arguably performs even better!
I am trying to picture the Zora with the ZR1 twin turbos and the electric motor from the ERay. THAT will be NUTS!!!
Yuri and Jakub, car enthusiasts and fashion icons !
This is the corvette I will buy at some point. The Z06 is just sick but for the street, this is the car to have. Love the hybrid power system! It really seems to work together seamlessly. Chevrolet has really outdone themselves with the Z06 and the E-Ray! I'm not a huge fan of the regular C8 but these are amazing!
One of my neighbors just got a brand new Z06, and it sounds so good
The only Corvettes I would consider getting would be the Z06 or the ERay

I completely forgot about that Cadillac Race car. It’s cool to see how the technology gets passed down from racing to production cars, even if it’s only available in higher trim performance cars
As a GR Yaris owner in a crappy climate AWD is king. Only thing is this Corvette has 4 times more power and sounds fricking amazing!!!!!
We have a Camry hybrid in the family and after 15 years and 425000km the hybrid battery needed replacement.

Imagine if the Zora is an awd hybrid version of the C8 ZR1.
It’ll be pretty heavy, but I imagine still wicked fast
That's probably all it's going to be. ZR1ERay.
Yuri making videos in Deadpool costumes is funny lol. He drives super cars on the week days and is Deadpool on the weekends 😂
Loved this car since it was introduced. Great power numbers with the electric/V8 combo. Love that crossover sound from hybrid to V8. And really cool design idea on those shirts!

Love your graphic designs on your shirts Yuri… Oh, and Jacob, you sure are a perty model😂😂😂 Love our Canadian brothers ❤
Zora Arkus-Duntov’s original (‘54) Corvette was available *only* as a 2-speed torque converter automatic.
Damnnnnittttt
I love that spec, absolutely perfect. Love that blue, so sweet with the white interior. Reverse from Uri I would actually like the back vents blacked out and even the side vent with the black trim just to cut the color up a little.
Not even a chevy guy but this and the zr1 are insane
Very cool, but not sure the old school part of me wants more complexity, but the Z06 sounds is pretty amazing. GLWS of those shirts!
This car has soo much potential is insane . This is how the ZR1 should have been made a hybrid probably could have done 1,200
They can always do that for the zora if they ever make one
@@FlightX101 what’s that lol
Nah, that would weigh over 4,200lbs. No thanks
That is the rumored next Corvette called the Zora
It’s more of a flex for them to make more power off of pump gas. They definitely will do it with a performance car but I’m happy.
The e ray is my favorite of them all. That electric to gas is just awesome. I know it won’t have as much horsepower as the new one but who cares , it’s still fast and the torque is on point!
With such a fast charge and discharge rate, I wonder how long the battery will last before the system is toast.
That E-Ray is sweet in blue.
That quarter panel salmon has the biggest smile, ever, and rightfully so...
Is what Acura’s NSX should have been.
"DONT TURN OFF THE VIDEO" gives Tim Robinson yelling "HOLD THAT DOOR" 😂
The Corvette that has had me the most excited lately!!! 🇺🇸🎧💯
Not a fan of any electricification but this is exceptional. The V8 sounds like old school Koenigsegg.
Jakub/Yuri, badges aside, would you take this over a 458?
Money no object I’d take the 458. But since money is real and a used 458 is still double the price, I’d go for this - Jakub
@@TheStraightPipes when I release my emoji app and it takes off, I wouldn't mind an Aperta. $1.4M AUD 😢
If it only goes ok, Corvette it is..

That thing is so ridiculous. I'm happy cars like this still exist.
THERE SHE IS!!! MY FAVORITE CAR!!! 🚙❤️❤️❤️
I love love love this! The way it sounds honestly, could confuse some people to think its just crazy supercharged or something lol

Yuri - can you please (!!!) do a German sports car shirt?? Say maybe a 997.2??
Great video as usual!
The E Ray is massively underrated
You can't get a better car for the money. Chevy has been making the best value sports car for decades.
Man after seeing this thing with a supercharger and other mods, these are the perfect corvette
Excellent, gentlemen!! Buying one next week.
This car with a 7L lingenfelter eliminator motor would be a beast
Hey just a FYI you guys were mentioned on Joe Rogan’s Podcast with Tom Segura. They were talking cars and Tom briefly mentioned Straight Pipes.

LOVE the intro music!!!
Awesome review. Keep ’em coming!
Love the 80's vibe music!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ZORA!!!
I agree with the paint matching
The launch on this is wicked cool!
Awesome car but if price is no object I would take a 911 Turbo over this. Compared to a base 911 at a similar price point the E-Ray becomes super compelling.
Please do that shirt for the Cadillac CT5 and CT4
I love you guys vids 😭🌪️
Great platform I can see someone swapping electric motor & Twin Turbo rear motor to pass +1200HP AWD Beast!!
Having been in one the hybrid transition is quite smooth for not being directly connected to the engine.
Need S550 Mustang shirts Yuri! Let's get it done!
The blue color is awesome. I'd rather have a Z06.
Absolutely phenomenal
Yuri, can you make a Q60 RedSport shirt? I have a 2017 in Sunstone Red and I would love that.

When you put a CARB legal supercharger kit on this, it's pretty much better than everything out there.
Love the shirts! I’d buy a 1st gen BRZ and Mk8 Golf R.
I think the Zora will be the 800hp variant ... electric front axle + Z06 engine ... fit between ZR1 and Z06.
