I’m so tired of seeing 1000hp+ cars on freeway “racing” for 5-10 secs. Talking about how good that “race “ was, even though this is a track day, this kind of high performance driving is closer to racing than any roll race could hope to be.
That Ferrari guy needs to learn the rules of letting faster cars go by. I assume that is why you went off the track so you could push the car more, rather than wait on that Ferrari guy.
Absolutely pathetic. When a car continues to stay on your rear end, that means he's faster than you....let him by. This isn't a race, it's a track day. Sad thing is, he likely never heard a word about it from any of the organizers. They are so reticent to talk to people about that kind of stuff unless it's blatantly obvious or they have an armful of complaints.
The guy in the Ferrari had terrible lines and was blocking like he was racing for money of course the Ferrari is gonna hold its own on the straight but he was getting eaten up on braking and cornering sure speed could have forced the issue but the way that guy in the Ferrari was driving he did the right thing and pulled off to disconnect from that moron. Some people can’t let their bias go and just appreciate a good car on the track no matter the brand sad but that’s life.
J. Wesley Stevenson a lot of them are just testing their cars or getting in some practice laps because of inexperience. A well season track driver won’t let the corvette get close to it.
@@Expandacraftboats Wow man this is just some rich guys lucky son messing around in a corvette at a track day full of old people...You need to look at European F3 championship or R5 class in WRC if you want to see the best young drivers in the world.
This is such a refreshing video to watch. No 20 minute nonsensical intro, no 5 minute sponsor reel, and no artificial TH-cam drama. Great driving, period. I cannot reciprocate the complement to the F458, though. It is an open-track day, GTFO the racing line!
I drove the C8 at Laguna and its really great for the price but there's some suspension and chassis issues. This is what sets it apart from the higher up cars. Could easily take off a ton of time without even adding to the engine. But as of right now its lacking in a lot of departments (but still good for a $80k car).

Wow there was a LOT of high dollar machinery out there driving around like little old lady's ! We really enjoy seeing you pushing your car's full potential ! Great Video !
No where near the full potential. Needs to work on throttle application, entering and exiting corners, I see lots of braking in the apexes, etc. I assume this was just a fun day and was an amateur driver.
I would rather see people on the track staying safe and out of the way instead of driving above their abilities and spraying the track with debri making it unsafe. Also not everyone has the same amount of experience or skillset. At least they're on a track not wiping out a crowd at a car show.
This Young Man has it all together....His video's always give you that "in the seat feel". Not to mention his engaging narration.....I'm waiting for the ZO6, but now, I don't know if I can wait...
It will be worth the wait. I have a C7 Z06, and have driven the C8 on track, I’m waiting. I track often, and the base C8 will not come close to my current car. Let them fix all the nitty stuff, get a better engine in it, and you’ll have something very special compared to the base model.
@@615Z06 That C7 Z06 he passed was pushing hard and not up to the C8 in the corners. You can see him locking the brakes entering one corner and sliding in another. It could have just been the drivers lack of experience though.
@@mustang43058 I agree, that C7's rear end was getting loose on those corners. As his previous video with the GT, the C8 is balanced well for the corners and once the Z06 comes out with more horses for the straights.......whoa momma.

I must say after watching you drive to C8 on track it seems to be very well proportion for track use I highly salute you for pushing the car to its limits with perfection you are a very good driver Love your video highly encouraging keep up the good work and be safe enjoy God bless
You know what I love about your videos? 95% of the camera is on the car or the driving. With modern day "reviewers" or "vloggers" they can't show you the wheels of the car without squatting in front of them. It is all about them and not the car or what ever is the hook to get the click. Anyway keep doing what your doing! Great content. Oh and anyone that down votes your videos has a empty soul. Just saying.
Practice makes improvements in your driving ability. Good job. Hey kiddo, relish what you've got going, regardless of how it all came into being. I think its really wonderful that you have this opportunity to make your mark in life. I'll be cheering for you... Take care.
The baby faced killer! This guy can drive! Nice lines, very impressive performance from the Corvette as well. Great video work tracking the cars as you pass etc...
Awesome Video! ...Unbelievable car and great driving! Loved the roof top remote camera!.... Great camera angle inside.. feels like I'm right in it when I watch it on my 32" computer monitor! ....Can't wait for the z06!... Stay Safe and Keep the track vids coming! ....
Looks like the Vette is very well balanced. It looks super easy to drive through corners on a a versitile track like this. Looked like that Ferrari didn't want to let you by, I don't think he wanted to live with the fact of being whooped by a Vette
Your video shows a driving opportunity and not just a photo opportunity. You are there to drive your car and video is a bonus. Much better then donuts or 0 to 60 runs. You’re showing the C8 really in action. What a great Car!
Unlike all the other show and tells on youtube, this young man puts it out there, he is running the hell out of his car, and he can drive it. Any mechanical problems yet??
I agree, it's nice to see someone out there really driving it hard. I would assume we will see more of this kinda content with C8 owners. A Ferrari, Lamborghini, or pretty much any exotic car is very expensive to service or repair and driving them hard drastically increases those costs and hassles. If you don't live in a major city, then you can add on the hassle and expense of shipping said exotic car to a dealer for a $20,000 repair. Not to mention, most people with a Ferrari or Lamborghini don't want to put to many miles on them or have to many repairs in the service history. Of course there are exceptions but most exotic owners rarely go out and do what their car was designed to do. How often do you see a Ferrari with 100,000 miles on it? I find that amusing and sad at the same time. The C8 is going to be reliable, easy to service and affordable enough for people to take them out and really drive them. That's a beautiful thing.
Speed Phenom Awesome Video I think Awesome that you have such skills on the track and that 458 Should have moved since you were driving faster and that should do more racing videos with the roof view
JM M I also read where they reverse engineerd the 458, where they tore it down completely to the last nut and bolt!!...besides benchmarking it on the track and street...
People been hating on the C8 since it came out... Oh its not a super car... It isn't this or that... Watching this car.... The BASE MODEL do what it is doing on the track.... Makes my blood pump.. This car is a game changer. People need to watch out.. wow. respect.
Just when I thought you couldn’t out do the last c8 track day. Phuck I was holding my breath the majority of this video. I think you found your calling. Great job. INTENSE AND BREATH TAKING! Again I’m going to share this on DDE. YOU DESERVE ALL THY HYPE JUST LIKE THE C8!!
Once again Phenom tremendous video. Isn't a great feeling when you pass a car and see the rear of the next car. What a rush!! Then when you catch a glimpse of the next car an alarm in your brain housing assembly starts going off: "Catch up to that car so we can pass him also"; Like a hound chasing a fox. Lets go get him! Come on ZORA!
I'm living my C8 dream vicariously thru you. And you're doing a wonderful job for me. Thank you! Keep it bro!!! I watch a lot of C8 videos on TH-cam. Yours are the best!
Great observation. The reason is driver skill not the car capability. The vette driver was much more experienced than pretty much everyone on the track in this video and corners are where skill shows.
@@BlueDuck211 I've always been curious about this. What do you mean by "always accelerate through the turn"? I would have thought the quickest way through a corner would be to brake as late as possible until juuuuussst before the apex, then hit the accelerator as you're coming through the apex and stay pedal to the metal on the exit. Is that basically the same as what you mean by acceleratiung through the turn, or am I missing some of the finer details?
Got an hour behind the wheel yesterday and WOW the C8 is honestly really good! Punches way above it’s price and I agree...the Z06 has gonna be mental when it comes out!
This was well worth watching. It's nice to see cars being driven on track instead of sitting in a garage like an ornament. I liked the C7 that gave you a good hard run for a while. Nice job fellow Vetters!!!
Dude....you drive like a pro. You were all over those cars passing one after another. Totally enjoyed watch it. 👍👍 And you have the best camera set ups them after car youtuber 👍 Thanks for the ride!
Man this was soooooo exhilarating! I felt every brake, turn, acceleration...unbelievable. I was air-braking like I was your passenger lol. loved it! Keep'em coming dude!
I don't think I noticed a difference... From talking to the Corvette Chief Engineer, he told me the downforce is the same as the regular Z51 wing. The reason why is because they needed to match the original balance of downforce with regards to the front end. However, I believe he mentioned there is an impact on drag... I really like the way it turned out though!
Kid, you're getting faster and faster! Quick reaction at around 8:10, congrats! I love watching your videos - that Corvette C8 engine sounds like an unhinged demon!!! Keep up the good work! A lot of people on the track are letting you pass...they're like "Oh no! It's Speed Phenom, can't shake him!".
Very good job on the video, I could not imagine having a car like that when I was your age. Your vids are great, be careful in that thing and hope to see you in the sport professionally some day, I believe you have the talent. I'd be a fan!
I think the owners of those exotic "dust collectors" are going to trade them in on a C8 asap! Speed Phenom and the C8 are a very good match for each other.
Love your stuff on here and Instagram. Very analytical and information. You're one hell of a driver and it doesn't get old watching. Hopefully when my C8 arrives in the next few weeks I can learn a few more things from you. Great job! Keep it up!
Great video footage and editing! Your driving is good, and getting better especially taking and coming out of corners. Gotta say though that the only drivers who seemed to be pushing hard was the Ferrari's and the C7's. Everyone else was on their Sunday afternoon cruising mode :).
And no music except the sound of the cars! You win the internet today, sir! If GM is not helping finance your track time, they should. You single handedly increase C8 stock, in good fashion too. Viewers might enjoy seeing your Monroney sticker, displaying the options for your $80k+ sticker price. Compared to your C8 vs. GT500 Mustang video, your cornering in the C8 is smoother now that you have more track time on it. A+!
Speed Phenom, what I like about your vidoes, you purchase these cars and drive them like they should be driven, HARD CORE. Most of the youtube don't come close to driving there cars to get an accurate assessment of the vehicle, they all want it for show. Keep it up 👍🏼
You could have beat everyone in a Volkswagen. Great driving. Very enjoyable, I have never seen anything like this. Didn't even know tracks like this existed. Thanks for sharing.
I have a question the stingray c7 I have now no Cam but procharged sounds amazing, would the Cam chop on the mid engine be amplified in a way since a it’s like right behind ur face ? I’m debating if I should even try for this beast that sell it to me the Chop
I rather see this than any 1 2 3 roll racing or drag racing. Someone actually using the Corvette for what it was made to do on a track. Awesome 👍
Any moron can go fast in a straight line. Especially with an automatic.

Dude, much respect after watching you race on the track. You were passing people with nice cars and hitting over 130 on some sections!
It looked like the C8 was the fastest car out there! Very impressive! Thanks!
I think the owners of those exotic "dust collectors" are going to trade them in on a C8 asap! Speed Phenom and the C8 are a very good match for each other.
@U Tube Surfer ... If you don't want to push your exotic car, you don't take it to a race track! Your comment is illogical!
Love your stuff on here and Instagram. Very analytical and information. You're one hell of a driver and it doesn't get old watching. Hopefully when my C8 arrives in the next few weeks I can learn a few more things from you. Great job! Keep it up!
Great video footage and editing! Your driving is good, and getting better especially taking and coming out of corners.
Gotta say though that the only drivers who seemed to be pushing hard was the Ferrari's and the C7's. Everyone else was on their Sunday afternoon cruising mode :).
Nice work SP, thank you for the virtual ride along!
Nice driving skills!! looks like you had a blast!!
Finally first person who knows how to use a c8 corvette!! Keep up the content!!
Outstanding performance and thanks for sharing. I want 1. 💰
carrying some serious speed through the corners - you're the man!!
The ZO6 is going to be a MONSTER!
1dumpedviper Yes Lordy!!!..Lol!!... Insane!!
765LT will be a monster
And no music except the sound of the cars! You win the internet today, sir!
If GM is not helping finance your track time, they should. You single handedly increase C8 stock, in good fashion too. Viewers might enjoy seeing your Monroney sticker, displaying the options for your $80k+ sticker price. Compared to your C8 vs. GT500 Mustang video, your cornering in the C8 is smoother now that you have more track time on it. A+!
Hey there Speed Phen! I'm living my dreams thru YOU!! Keep it up thx!!! Maybe one day....... 🤔
Excellent driving skills. It is refreshing to see this car being driven the way it was meant to be driven.
There was a quick minute where i thought i was playing Forza, good shit hahahaha
I was thinking the same...looks just like.
@@nightmareedge657 right, i went and played about 20mins later hahaha
You guys should try Assetto Corsa on PC if you find a mod that’s highly detailed you can rip it around tracks like Willow springs
Loving your videos of the C8 in action. The car is fantastic but you are a pretty good driver too-patience is hard to learn. Keep the videos coming.
God damn this this is actually impressive. Thanks for the perspective.
Speed Phenom, what I like about your vidoes, you purchase these cars and drive them like they should be driven, HARD CORE. Most of the youtube don't come close to driving there cars to get an accurate assessment of the vehicle, they all want it for show. Keep it up 👍🏼
Your driving skills are fantastic ! Nice video
You could have beat everyone in a Volkswagen. Great driving. Very enjoyable, I have never seen anything like this. Didn't even know tracks like this existed. Thanks for sharing.
I said it previously, seems like you have some driving skills. Good job reeling them in.
what setting do you use for your camera? stabilization on or off? Thanks! trying to get a similar view with mine but hasn't been going so well
Go get em young fella,.....great job.
I am so envious! You are rocking that car man
And to think that we haven’t seen the ZO6 and ZR1 yet! Wow! I heard they may be awd too!
I wonder how the C8 compares to the Ford GT?
@@kevinschwinkendorf1504 we will see chevy is going to have twin turbo for sure even the supercharged version would whoop that gt
I have a question the stingray c7 I have now no Cam but procharged sounds amazing, would the Cam chop on the mid engine be amplified in a way since a it’s like right behind ur face ? I’m debating if I should even try for this beast that sell it to me the Chop
Why you don't have more subs....beyond me. Love the videos and am subscribed!
Do colabs when you can!
Thanks for the like Speed..
This guy is doing a good job at road racing hitting his apexes,,not pushing any limits...fun to watch..
Hey SpeedPhenom! Love the vids... can you do a GT350R and Corvette C8 comparison?
Do have a friend that you trust with the same skills to race one of your cars?
Well done, a measured assessment of what risks to take and what not to take on the track. I was surprised how great the Corvette sounded awesome.
