10 SECOND 1/4 MILE PASS IN MY STOCK 2020 C8 CORVETTE! (NO DRAG RADIALS OR MODS) 

Bud you should not ever take your car through the water box with street tires. That’s for cars with slicks my man. Love your content and great stuff by the way!

The fact that he can't buy a 🍺 or cigar or a firearm is complete nonsense. I am 49 and this "young man" is more mature than me sometimes surely.

Just loving these new videos of this wicked new Vette...Thank you

But you didn't run 10's at a track, your counting on a factory software from Chevy- I'd like to see you run 10's at the track. Make sure you are in the grove too to get max traction (its the none shiny part).

I wonder how long it would take to get a dragy through the mail so you could actually check 0-60 and quartermile accuracy.

Im guessing the launch control isn't optimized for a super sticky drag surface. But I think its probably more likely that the wetness of the track was the main factor as you've surmised. When a very stick surface gets wet, it will actually get more slick than if it were a regular road surface getting wet with the same amount of water. The purpose of the water is to actually slick up the tire so that you can burnouts more easily to warm it. But you have evaporate the water completely on your tires by the time you line up. If you don't then the water can build up on the track as well as any potential wetness from cars that have lined up before and after you.

Great video my friend and also a great question? You were right about the water box" when you line up pull a little to the left or a little to the right that's where it's going to be best prepped, don't forget dozens of racers front wheels run through the water as well as their rear wheels so they bring it right to the launch beam.🤔👋👋

Great stuff, young man! My 700hp/690tq Viper only does like 3.3 seconds to 60mph. Even with the 335s out back. Ancient front-engine layout!

To make a case for YOUR car.. you may have got a good one! I have had many a cars in my day and two that are identical. One would run a 13.1 or 13.2, 1/4 mike time and my buddies exact same car would be 2 tenths and sometimes 3 tenths faster (pissed me off because he had the faster car) but we went to the same gas station, same gas and everything.. we even changed drivers and his car was just 2/10’ths faster and would pull mine. He got a good one, just like yours.. clicking on all cylinders.. great content kid!

I wont believe anything onboard timing, I want to see draggy results..

I used to do track prepping at our local strip,i would apply the glue in the morning after it dried up from the night humidity,we would re-spray a few times in the day,the best 1/4 mile times were always by end of afternoon,the sun really activates that glue,night time could be an issue,you should try an afternoon run,see if its better,

Thank you for saying all these good things about this Corvette, you are the best commentator for this Corvette that I ever seen on RU-vid. I am not that much into this Corvette but u are making me want to go buy one.

One thing to test in the future is PDR vs an external data logger. I don’t think we know how accurate the Corvette data recorder is. Great video Austin!

You can tell he was getting pissed 😂

Such a pretty car.

Next time try dropping the psi in your tires and not rolling through the water box👍

Young guy learning the reality of marketing verse science 🤣

Maybe there's too much oil mixed in with the rubber on the track, hence the spinning all the way down it. Time they resurfaced that track. IMHO of course. Keep on with the great content man.

He got a butt hurting.... the track is keeping it real

Austin great video. My only thought te water box is that they are there for slicks. Water adhesion is strong! I believe you probably still have water in the treads. When dealing in seconds or less this might make difference.

Speed Phenom Great Video I'm glad you Drag raced your C8 Z51 Stingray for the first time at auto club famosa and I'm sorry to hear that track wasn't preped good enough I there was enough VHT or the rubber might not have been put down right and Congratulations on doing a 2.6s 0-6 and a 10.95 1/4 mile on an unpreped surface and for getting 130K subs

Interesting how that Vette works.

Base model non z51 , did you break the rings in early in the break in period?

Are you certain that was level ground?

Incredibly versatile sports car! Great video. If you had to just pick one to drive which one would you pick?

that is IMPRESSIVE!! I had no idea. Naturally aspirated can still crush it

I have the same problem, non prepped digs right in, at the drag strip spin the tires all the way down the track, that is with hp all season tires on my 90 Corvette.

its incredible how these cars are so cheap and has good performance

First, I absolutely love the C-8! " But ", a couple questions/comments, were others at the track having traction issues ? " And " I would double check the built in GM timer/software with a highly reputable system. I'm not doubting your times, if it was mine , and I wish, I would want to know myself. It shouldn't be hard to verify. Beautiful ride dude! Thanks

I talked with you at the track I had the c7 blue one . Street tires are really bad for track surface they don’t hook at all . Street tires work for you on the street because all the weight is on the rear tire it helps it transfer weight so the car can launch and stay planted to the ground

the c8 is a hyper supercar with 2.6s for 0-60mph. All for $60K. Amazing!

Don’t go threw the wet box the water from your front tires are makeing the back ones slip

Did you drop pressures at all? Also have to avoid the water box completely. No front or rear tires then just kind of launch up to the line so you get a little spin and dust the tires off

Hi Austin, you are great for the C8 community. What setting did you use for you run. Thanks

Dude started getting mad cause it was spinning 😂😂 THE CAR IS NOT BUILT FOR THE TRACK. The track is perfectly fine

The fact that the C8 is better on the street, and even with a stock tire......there's going to be a lot of butthurt out there. lol. Mild mod C8's are going to be nuts. I personally would want a white one with no wing. Make it look as base as I could. Then a few pounds of boost. 😂🤣

Cup tires are designed for old chip seald roads, ever seen a lap around nurburgring... put some drag radials on it and it will eat

Did you check the track temps and the humidity both are a huge factor on grip at the strip

Stock tires & prep don't mix well a lot of times... drag radials with a small burnout will dead hook...

Prepped track need drag radials. Street tires will spin like crazy, and you're lucky you didn't wreck. Non prepped surfaces, you use street tires. Prepped surfaces, you need drag radials. People that try to go all stock on drag strips are morons. Making sure you don't die, is not a mod. Change your tires on the strip. Forget that "all factory everything, including tires" crap when you go to the drag strip. It's the same with drag tires on the street. They will slip.

2:26 What is the deal with the SD card speed error?

Nice work in giving us your thrill!

Did you lower your tire pressure at all?

Corvette for life

Interesting...some stock ford gts run low tens, with upgraded exhaust, the can do high 9s...but the c8 is not. Even turbo-ed

Two words: BURNOUT MODE

bUt ThE mUStaNG iS bEtTer

What is da outro music?

If the track had traction issues I feel that 90s Camaro wouldn't have run in the mid 11s.

The new C8 is amazing for the how much it cost. You said name another American sports car that can do a 10 second 1/4 mile on the streets (unprepped), I say Ford GT. That car is definitely the most technologically advanced, American sports car. Granted it cost a lot more. Ford GT is also a track monster too, with an impressive resume against the world's best sports cars. Probably should use a Dragy to see if the C8 can repeat that 0-60mph and 1/4 mile. I question the onboard timer results.

You said early something about elevation. My guess is the air is thinner and less oxygen giving you decreased horsepower and torque. Just a guess since I wasn't there though so take that with a grain of salt.

Would have ran a good time if you would have done a burnout, i dont get why you would launch control out of the water box instead of holding both paddles in and dumping it to get wheel speed and do a good burnout

Come on man. You really don’t think the Chevy in car calibration favors those #’s. You need to get a clean run at the strip to see what it really runs for a time

"and with the car full of camera gear!". Yeah it may even do better if you go on an empty stomach lol

I don’t see the 10 second time slip

I know a guy that went low 11s on draggy and he's a low 13 second car lol he also claims the app time instead if the actual time

If you were heating the stock tires too much they will get slick and spin

Street tire are never good at a drag strip period. that track obviously has no prep down but get some good drag radials. Those bandaide tires are not condusive to hard drag launch's lots of factors ccome together to cause launch issues

Will it not do a burn out?

If the track is to hot it will be like butter off the line

Interesting to see the C8 eviscerated by an SS Camaro. LOL.

Street races are all that matter anyway. That’s most of the driving anyway and real races are on the street not the track.

Why did the car do so poorly at the drag strip?

2.6 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Get a Draggy my friend, and brace your self; you will be greatly disappointed. My estimate is 3.5, if that!!

I don't think your cars ever made a 10-second run that's the only time you went to the track. You can't trust the GPS app

Love the Channel, but a C8 Vette isn’t cut out for the drag strip. I would have rather seen the GT 500 out there.

Boom!!!!!!

The track is "crap", and you do need to stay out of the water.

good stuff

Here before 1,000 views

I think 100lbs is a .1 in the 1/4 mile

I'm curious how he affords this

Kid your data on your gm heads up is not accurate. Of course gm would program it to be bias and show best possible numbers.

wasted time watching spoiled kid bench race after he couldnt drive the car

Who cares if they do a burn out on street tires let them smoke Emm down and have fun can't do it on the street so do it legallyit would be funny if he put it in reverse thinking r is race mode lol nice pass man 10 secs nice. But great driving keeping her straight with all that spinning

"Unofficial" should be added somewhere in the Title. 🤔

Lower your tire pressure

Onboard timer. Lol.

Get a dragy!!

Because it was not spinning your rpms never jumped which indicates a wheel spin I own several vettes ant your track data recorder in the car is garbage

Your tires and it was night time

I would think with that car on a dragstrip you want to on your softest suspension settings not you stiffest.

Your timer is way off lol

I think it could make high 9's with a drag radial on.

Good vid and if you didn't know, the C8 Corvettes finished 1-2 at Sebring IMSA race in the GTLM Class this past Saturday.

I would be curious if your times match up using something like Dragy, instead of using the cars timer.

Also if the 0-60 timer is measuring based on the speedometer, it's inaccurate too since it's measuring wheel spin. You could probably turn your line lock on, do a burnout in the water box, and get an even quicker 0-60 time.

Poor surface conditions period point blank. You wouldn’t be slipping on adhesive.

See i do want the corvette c8, but every guy is just gonna end up having one. But this video made me not care

Is it possible that the C8 computer is not recording 0-60 times very accurately? You should get a dragy to see if you are really getting 2.6s

Runs 12's & 13's then claims it runs 10's lmao Why am I not shocked

Nice corvette Austin! Keep up the good content. By the way you passed through OOOOOOOklahoma where I live and went to a very small town and found a drag strip to run in your C8. I didn’t even know about that place until I saw it on your video. I love watching you launch your C8 from 0-60!

Love de c8 content buddy,

Great job on the C8. The team at GM should be very proud of all their hard (and very smart) work!!! The Corvette deserves to be a world class competitor now.

Love your content, but you cant claim 10 sec, if your not using an official timing system that is universally accepted. Go to a better drag strip and get a legit 10 sec time slip.

Love the C8, not a hater, but those times are inaccurate. It's measuring the wheel spin in reference to the speedometer, it's not actually measuring distance traveled. You're not going to get 10s on the track, even with stickies.

That car isn't a 10sec car dude!!!

Still I don’t believe that speedometer timer is accurate. Try using some advanced tech like draggy GPS.

my michelin 4s grip better on the strip, I dont understand they you dont get good traction, the strip is meant for traction. Very odd. I have more hp and torque, and I grip awesome, you must be at a crappy track that needs some work.

The built in timer isn’t remotely close to accurate. That car is not capable of 10 seconds completely stock on street tires. It is fast and it probably can do 11.1 seconds but it won’t do sub 11 stock on stock tires.
