    The expectations for how the new 2020 Corvette C8 would drive on track were set very high, but let's find out whether it manages to meet them! Turns out the mid-engined setup works rather well for the Corvette...

      @@AlexTrain5249 back in the day a gap of quality had to exist. So Chevy was the lowest on the list, and then you had Pontiac that was also getting performance bonuses. then came the 80's and well let's face it they had not done gains in engines due to new fuels and emissions. and then some hope in the 1990's and finally GM was too heavy to keep the competition to high in its own class of cars. So now many brands where retired. some sold. And now we have a leaner a less of a class of living on cars. See once the old men let the new men in control. We now have cars that kids love again. but it will be Chevrolet/Cadillac/GMC why? simple no kid would buy an grandpa car Oldsmobile, or a old single man's cheaper Caddy disguised as a Buick.... Besides words like icky, have sealed its fate. Saturn was an experiment for small cars light weight. if it failed it could have been just a shadow. and then gone. So Chevy can now have leather dash, and premium brand stuff. Sad that we lost a few great names. like Trans-am/Grand Prix/SKY/GNX/GTO just to name a few. But we also use cars differently. many have city buses and or Ubber and that actually saves a lot on millage. So we do not buy cars as often and with more competition the world of cars has evolved. and so did Chevrolet Corvette....

But slot in any other car that costs $60,000 against the base Corvette,,, or $80,000 agAinst a decked out Z51,,,I think the new Vette comes out as The Supercar of that bunch!

    Can’t wait for James to get this but tbh the concept stingray back in 2010 still the best looking corvette concept never released

    Excellent video. You'd mention in the initial video of you trying out the C8 that you're thinking of purchasing one. Has the two day event given you an idea of what you'll do?

    Best video yet on this car. This track is perfect for the C8, this isnt VIR or Nurburgring, this track is not a pure hp track. Much like Thunderhill west or Watkins Glen. Blackhawk farms too.

    Shmee is still a Ford guy, you could tell in the end. For my money I'd still rather have the GT500 also but GM really hit it of of the park on this C8! When the aftermarket comes alive we're going to see some amazing C8's, can't wait.

    Shmee, you are mistaken; the C8 is not only a Supercar, it is the BEST REPRESENTATION OF WHAT A MODERN SUPERCAR IS and should be. Not only does it destroy its competition, it is attainable 🚗🚗🚗. You can't say that about a McLaren or a Vector 🛴

    It's going to be interesting to see what the ZR-1 will be like if this is their first crack at a mid engined Vette. I think a few European supercar manufacturers are going to be looking at this with some interest. If they build the thing from carbon fibre with over 800bhp then that'll be one seriously fast car.
