Thomas and James finally get behind the wheel of the much anticipated 2020 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, with Z51 Package (performance exhaust, tightened suspension, larger Brembo brakes, and an electronic limited-slip differential) and a bunch of other added extras. At an MSRP of over 100K Canadian, could this be the best performance bargain on sale? Does it render a Supra useless? For that matter, is it a supercar killer? Watch to find out. Subscribe!

Because the majority of new Corvette buyers are still old retired dudes who baby them and play golf. That stereotype exists for a reason. The people who want manuals are enthusiasts many of whom are younger and cannot afford to buy a new C8. They want manual sports cars to be released so that in 3-5 years they'll pick them up at a good price used

When you have to mention many other cars to denigrate the C8, the C8 has certainly done the job right (for the most part). Understeer can be neutralized with camber adjustment and is mentioned in the owner's manual (for track use); understeer helps save the drivers that don't know how to drive (as well as they should).

@@tyler9703 OP did not specify "journalist" and Casey Putsch is a very well informed and well experienced individual when it comes to cars due to his racing background and his current work. So not being a "journalist" shouldn't be relevant. Also, his points about the (complete lack of) ergonomics of the C8 steering wheel are legitimate without having driven the car (hence why he hasn't talked about the car itself). He has seen and handled the steering wheel already and he explains very clearly why it's fucked. It's an extremely preventable and fixable problem but a serious downfall. But then, most supercar owners (corvettes included) are just old rich people who are just gonna flex and cruise around town, not push them around a track. He admitted such, so maybe making the best track experience car (even WITHOUT any compromise on other aspects) is not the most important.

I said it before, I’ll say it again: the new C8 Chevorlet Corvette is what the new *Acura NSX should have been,* an affordable light mid-engine supercar fighter with everyday daily luxury car amenities and comfort. They aren’t very comparable as they are now, no, but they _should_ have been. The C8 Corvette is slated to be a modern Toyota Supra and Nissan GT-R killer that could also hang with the Porsche Caymans/911’s and Ferrari’s on the track. Something of a spiritual successor to the road paved by the first 1990 Acura NSX and 2010 Lotus Evora. Always chasing the base Porsche 911’s tail. The Acura NSX didn’t need to become another $150,000 Hybrid Supercar like the BMW i8 because to be honest, nobody really wanted to buy one. The BMW i8 and Acura NSX became the choice for niche hybrid nerds that wanted expensive flashy cars that were unique and literally nobody else bought. The Audi R8, Porsche 911 Turbo, McLaren 570S/540C, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW i8, and Mercedes AMG GTR all compete with the Acura NSX in the supercar market at that price. A Honda produced V10, a V8, or a twin turbocharged V6 (or supercharged V6) built on a much lighter chassis without the hybrid electric batteries would have been sufficient. The Acura NSX looks good, and is technologically advanced like the BMW i8, but they can’t justify the $150,000 price tag. Starting price at $60,000-90,000 is good, just to undercut Porsche.

You cant really compare this to the NSX in my opinion. Both cars and companies are on two different levels. You pay $150k for virtually next to nothing maintance. But the c8 and Cheves rep in general with servicing. And when you say no one wanted to buy one, you should check the sales sheets again. Funny enough though, both companies are partnered together for future EV development. - a non honda fan

Mid-engine, low price, plenty of power. Yes, this car was designed to understeer on purpose. There will be so many people overdriving their ability in this car. If it was setup for track use, half of them would be in the hedge from power-on oversteer, or lift-off/snap oversteer. They'll probably come out later with a track package that fits a correctly tuned rear diff, and a more focused track mode.

understeer on roads can be dangerous, but I get your point for sure.. It might make people hold off on cornering if they feel like they are going to go into the guardrail... Or is it too late by then and you are in the guardrail? as soon as it starts sliding you hit the brakes, which in turn takes away from the cornering ability and you lose all traction... I guess you could learn to drift around all corners lol

So, I happened to surprise my wife with a 2022 C8 LT2 with the Z51 package. We both had corvettes when we first met in our twenties. So, it was a sentimental purchase. I've been a car enthusiast since I was a teen. Had muscle cars, then bought my first vette 1962 at 21. It was semi customized, and it was and still is beautiful. It was a great feel to own, just not a great drive. but a head turner! So, she took delivery of the C8 in March of 2022. She now has 11k miles on it (two long road trips attributed to half that mileage). She has no hesitation pushing the envelope with it. We do track it locally and even get it on a drag strip with some of the muscle cars. I am not a typical collector as we own them to use and really enjoy them. We've had several other corvettes, and the C8 is impressive as its unlike any of the previous generations. The mid engine dual 8 speed clutch and much more chevy implemented changed the game for the corvette. Now it's a far cry from the two Ferrari's. A 2020 F8 Tributo & 2019 Ferrari 488 GTB! You're also talking about a hugh sticker price difference. We have 7 adult children and our 5th grandchild due soon, but there is still room for another car. I always wanted a Z06, so I have one on order, but a 2023 delivery is questionable. The vettes are just in my blood, but lean towards the Italian super cars.

Willing to bet that understeer is 100% intentional to keep the typical corvette buyer out of the morgue. I would prefer it err on the side of oversteer, but the attorneys seem to prefer understeer. Mid engine / RWD cars have a tendency to give you snap oversteer, which is a blast, if you have fast hands....and will kill you if you don’t.

Chevy even said the understeer was intentionally built in because most buyers will never have driven a mid-engine car prior to owning one, and they wanted the performance to be safely approachable for those new to the drivetrain set up. It was also to not alienate their core base of buyers who likely wouldn't be familiar with the twitchy/ snap oversteer nature of a mid-engine car. Future performance models will rectify the problem without question.

The Z06 will have a 8-9k rpm DOHC screamer that you guys are looking for and they will fix the understeer problem. The C8 base is the Cars and Coffee boomer cruising spec. What you guys want is the Z06 then you will want the ZR1 then Zora. But you'll be talking $100k - $150k USD for those and not the $60k USD starting base. Ferrari just came out with the Stradale starting at $650k USD which is a 1000 hp hybrid entry level hyper car. Zora will be 1000 hp hybrid with similar hyper car performance but ~ $150k so will be quite impressive.

I thought the same, the review is fair and i can understand the critic about the understeering but as you say this is the car for the masses and lots of corvette owners coming from the C7 are not used to a middle motor, same for a lot of people who never drove anything with that power. If you want a good track car the Z06 was always one of the best options in the line.

And if you really want to drive a Z51 on the track you can always run a more aggresive alignement, Randy tested one with much more negative camber and the understeer was almost gone.

That is the perfect combination. A super car with a Hi Tech, reliable pushrod V8 (Lower center of mass for the engine, a lot of torque and almost perfect reliability. Sure it may not rev as high, but you also do not have large heads and heavy overhead cams atop the engine.

1betterthanyou1 you’re right, however they used to wait for mid cycle refresh to do that. The supra is a good example, before they would have waited a few years before releasing such an update. In this case alignement and rear sway bar is probably all that’s needed to cut that understeer.

Otherwise, the remaining dings are all subjective. Which, is fine because we all have our preferences. I would love to see you guys get some track time with the car to see if the understeer issue can be tuned out via suspension adjustments (if adjustments are possible on the car).

I got a solution to the oversteer problem. It’s either slow down (or not press on the gas pedal), or the manufacturer should remake the vehicle with the rear wheels turning the exact degree the front wheels are (although I disagree on doing so since it’s meant for racing often rather than any other purpose) due to the short length and less weight. Blind spots? Small cameras can be added so the panel can show where you want to look at (with the manufacturer deciding to so).
