All about the LT2 in the 2020 C8 Corvette 

Right on man cool. Thanks for your hard work bringing us the next gen of dominate small blocks. 🤘

@@ChuckBeefOG I really can't take much (if any) credit. All I did was run some tests and report the results to the engineers designing the components.

Do you know what a liar is, SR ?

@@dareisnogod5711 Yes, I know what a liar is. I also know what a hater is.

With a price tag under 100k i think GM will kill competition

Ivana Notyers thx

lmao

Background music is the most annoying feature in YT videos. Seems they just don‘t want us to listen to what they have to say.

Yes, fix the orange font with grey shadow background! Did you even review your video? That crap looks blurry on a white background. Also lose the obnxious hi-lo music background noise. Go with a simple bass track. Other than those two things, I enjoyed your video. Good work but you gotta fix those issues going forward.

You can hardly hear it

Totally agree! The sky is the limit and she will always be a great bang for the buck. Ah...no pun intended. Z06 ZR1 maybe a Zora or a mild hybrid/motor combo.

Dohc TT

This could crush the industry in all types of ways. That's the most exciting part about this c8. From the little sport compacts to the high and mighty supercars. We're looking at insanely inflated prices on brand new cars. GM listened and delivered big time. I hope this does damage on the streets and hopefully other manufacturers will reciprocate. Shame on Toyota, and shame on Ford. Shame on Chrysler/Dodge out of all.

Just wait until the ZR1! It'll roast that Z06!

Can’t wait for the zr1

yeah, my ls2 gained over 100 horsepower from cam, intake and headers. Cant wait to see what a fucking beast like this could pump out while staying NA, or even with a supercharger right there under the rear window

@@ImKittyCow people say it might be impossible to tune due to complex pcu and if u can it'll be costlllly

@@TheSprykilla i heard they already cracked the e99, why manufactures put any encryption at all is beyond me but once theyve been out a few months i cant imagine a shop charging an arm and a leg for it

@@ImKittyCow thats that fair but yeah these things will be pretty nasty then maybe not 720s speed for but 60k with 10k of mods yeav

$2000 just for the PCM crack and credits alone...crazy high but yep at least its possible

Robert Mizek this comment is gold

Just wait ten min

Mines are extremely dangerous and shouldn’t be planted near people

Adam Nelson that’s crazy, this is some snarky shit I would say. What a world.

As a JDM guy, all i can say is DAYUM SON

As a Dodge guy all I can say is MOPAR OR DAYUM

As a Rarri guy... Good job.

@@DevilDaRebel what the fuck is a rarri???

As a Chevy guy, all l can say is *WTF!*

I too love Mopar! The Viper without a doubt would still be in production had it not been for FIAT!

The Fat Cat better shape up.

Glenn Oropeza they’re bringing the Viper back. It’s going to powered by the aluminum V8 Hemi replacement from FCA. Word is it’s coming in a few trims from base model to race model. I’m hoping it comes to life.

@Ivana Notyers There should be a comma after "Dyed".

Ivana Notyers okay spell check police I didn’t notice it!

I've heard that the C8 Z06 Corvette will come out next year with a V8 4.2 litre twin turbo engine which will produce more power than the Stingray.

I can't wait for the recalls and bugs. I'd hold off on purchases. Who wants there new C8 in December anyways?

You bet, and more frequent visits to the gas station and tire store. Many new friends. Thanks for this fine report. Love the exhaust headers. Finally something that looks good and perhaps functions without after market. Who will be first to chrome these babies?

It will be super fun in stock form too.

@@s.reynolds3415 yea that new tranny and oil sump system is what im looking at lol

Ya the only problem with the dual injection set up is that it is patented technology. Right now Ford is being sued for stealing that tech. In time they will release that tech. but for now just dump some fuel system cleaner in every other oil change.

@@samduran5180 Lexus, Nissan, Porsche, VW, Toyota, Acura, and Subaru all use dual injection so Ford's lawsuit isn't because of that. It's

DirtDude117 it’s what?? Lol

@@jakebro5557 Lexus ISF and IS350 have been dual injected since 08. Nissan used due injection over seas. Porsche uses it in the 9A1 & Cayanne/Panamara. The Lambo/R8 V10 is dual injection. The EA888 overseas is dual injected in everything. Toyota even uses it in the Corolla, FRS, and Camry now. The BRZ, WRX, and Ascent are all Subaru dual injection. I believe the turbo engines non-STI all use it.

@@samduran5180 what are you talking about the zr1 had dual injectors (port & direct)

Would make any performance vehicle nasty

Those items an a free flowing exhaust.

Yup Nothing is uncrackable

love that you mention there's an overlap. im a cs major and am a car guy to the bone. guess im not alone lol

No doubt!

Coils are one of the most reliable parts though.

Why would you need to change out coil packs? Hell I never had an issue with any of mine on the LS motors and thats after going over 200k miles in some of them.

Stick the headers out the hood

You think it is better then Toyota???? You can buy a 1999 Corvett for $3000.00 Supra 1999 for $80.000????

Except...the new Supra is a rebadged BMW. Why don’t you give us some price information on 1999 BMW’s.

Giancarlo Cesari that shows how overpriced they are

my stage 3 (downpipe and injectors tune only old EJ motor) 2015 Sti w eurothane driveline mounts and springs/big rubber will out run and outhandle a new zupra w my kids in tha back lol. And its nothing near what my old Evo could do.. New cars hype machine. Kids need to get off the supra titty new one and the old 90s one that was same as a Lexus SC300 lol

@@carlocesari1 Who said anything about previous generation Supra? I'm talking about the new Supra.. With the BMW engine, and interior as well. The new Corvette is faster, nicer, and overall a better package..

timing belt 👎

If liter correlates to physical engine size and engine weight I guess it would matter.

Penny Lane, allow me to share with you where i was going with this. Lexus LFA has a 4.8 liter V10. A V10 thats smaller than a traditional V8 AND lighter than a V6. This “4.8 liter” pumps out 560ps which works out to 116hp per liter. Acura Integra Type R with its B18C5 engine pumps out 200ps, thats 111.11 hp per liter. Their S2000 makes 240 with its 2.2 liter, thats 109.1 hp per liter. Are you starting to see the picture? Yes, despite having more hp per liter doesnt mean itll beat it. It just goes to show the amount of engineering that was put into those motors is nothing compared to what any big american V8s or V10s and inline 4s put out- in natural aspirated form of course. Im saying, regardless of how big American muscle goes, the engineering on their engines is mediocre compared to other car manufacturers.

Doesn't really matter if the end result weighs the same or more, and has less torque lower in the rev range because of a lack of displacement. Forcing you to go with deeper gears in the axle to compensate for having less torque down low. Lighter than what V6? GMC had a V6 that was over 470ci, probably weighed the same as a chevrolet big block,smaller than what V8? You can have an LS block engine under the hood and have no idea if it displaces 293ci or 414ci with no descernible difference in physical engine size. You can have a V8 smaller in displacement and physical size than a 4 cylinder. I think I recall honda or nissan having a 1.6 litre V16, and Henry Ford built a car with an 18.9 liter 4 cylinder.There's no traditional sizes, it's not a very impressive feat of engineering if you have a high level of hp per ci, but to get there means the vehicle has to be saddle with extra weight on and to be made a larger size,kind of seems to defeat the purpose. If you had to choose between 2 engines, both weighed 475 lbs, both make 500 hp, but one is 300ci and the other is 400ci which would you choose? If you had any logic you would pick the 400ci. Why? It's because you would have more torque which means more hp down lower in the rpm. Which means you're not having to gear it as deep, which means you'll get better gas mileage. If it's not giving anything up to the 300 ci engine in terms of peak horsepower, engine weight, possible physical size, but makes more power down low and same power at their peaks, then what honestly does hp/ci matter? If 4.8 meant 480 lbs and 7.0 meant 700 lbs then ok, but it never did. If both weigh the same then what's the advantage in having less displacement? Better engineering? How about wasting brain power on something that has a simple solution? 2009 Honda S2000 curb weight 2,850 lbs 2.2 engine 237 hp 107.7 hp/liter mpg 18 city/25 highway 2018 Chevrolet Corvette curb weight 3,450 (600 lbs heavier) 6.2 engine (2.8 times more displacement) 455 hp (1.9 times the power) mpg 16 city/25 highway With all the differences shouldn't the Corvette be a lot worse in mpg? It's because the lack of torque in the S2000 forces the need for a 4.1 axle where the Corvette axle is either a 2.41 or a 2.73. Even Honda realized they messed up and added more displacement so the peak torque would come in about 700 rpm sooner.

@@Hakuna_My_Tatas yeah well that's just your opinion bro.

@@MrJimbo666 , hey fanboy, it's not MY opinion. It IS fact, out of 6.2 liters, this is ONLY putting out 79.8HP. Ok I'll round it up, 80hp per liter. Weak, if you ask me, bro. Big V8, Cuz Murica!!! That's why

@Matthew Gerhardt thank you sir you as well

@lenny 034 Yea, but I believe the LT1 in the GrandSport had that already.. It’s nothing really new..

Were you expecting something else? A pretty decent little bump from the LT1. Bigger power bumps than the LS2 gave over the LS1 back in the day.

@Chuck Beef No.. I love the car and everything about it..

Camaro_LT1 Oh. The double period thing.. had me thinking you were being sarcastic. Lol you’re right its looking to be a pretty great car.

lmao

The headers look like they're natural for speed boats too XD

Lt5 from the 90s was handbuilt by Mercury marine, who then proceeded to make an lt5 powered boat, towed by an lt5 powered Corvette. It was a funny and amazing thing to see.

Yeah bland econocar digital guages

@u aint bout it analog guages would've been better

They wanted the motor to look more pleasing through the glass canopy. They will be easily accessible under the car on a lift I'm sure.

Sure she slip right in....

Drive a dual clutch and you ll soon forget the manual.

I agree with everything you said about ohv vs ohc/dohc engines but these youngsters think ohc is the greatest thing since sliced bread i've made the same arguments that you have about the advantages of ohv vs ohc but to each their own

They are brainwashed victims of advanced marketing techniques and cannot think for themselves. Sadly they just little parrots.

dittos...hope the pushrod engine makes a comeback. Don't care about speed, power, economy...just want reliability, easy to repair and a roomy engine compartment

It does still have the AFM.

CAFE standards?

Sadly, all exotic/supercars are doing away with true manuals. Corvette was one of the last to do it, Lambo, Ferrari etc hasn't had a true manual in quite some time.

Paddle shifting is what the latest generation wants. I agree with you...manual shifting is more satisfying.

It is a double clutch transmission it does not have a torque converter so it behaves like a manual transmission but shifts much faster than a manual transmission.

A 10,000rpm 6.2 and a Duramax option? That's quite an imagination you've got there, Ted....

It can hold 2 sets of golf clubs or a set of 5 suitcases. Storage in front and enough room in back to store the targa top.

No shit?

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere they designed it to be able to do tune up with engine still in car.

@@joedmac78 That would be great and if changing the oil is easy then its win win

@@ShawZam yea it would be. GM has built many V8 engines that are surprisingly easy to work on . The first gen ls cam could be removed without removing the heads ... Not the newer v8s tho

Tune up??? You mean change spark plugs once in a lifetime? Air filters three or four times??

@@lard1892 I think it's every 100k miles they usually recommend you change plugs/ wires. Ignition coils can act up sometimes to when you get up in the miles. By looks of it those parts should be easy to get to with the relocated design

Working on that video. I will let you know how it'll most likely be done.

So u can't change anything because if some young kids dad buys him one you know he's gonna try to get more power out it with a hand held and he'll put around a tree and him and all that fiberglass and plastic will be in a million pieces

Its because of warranty reasons, they know how much peopke want to modify those cars. Btw, they always leave a small crack somewhere.

leoaleromm Once you make changes the warranty is void.

Jon Richardson People are going to modify them especially people who race them.

People are focusing only in the msrp. Everyone looks in love with a cheap supercar. And don't think about the maintenance costs of a powerful mid engined sports car. I think we will see the 2nd hand market full of these in some time, due to people that can't afford that manteinance. Specially on the future more powerful variants. The manteinance will be definitely a lot more expensive than in the previous gen car.

Plastic timing guides absolutely irk me.

Most manufacturers have went to plastic and yes a lot of the plastic doesn't make it past 100k

Because it's less costly to build plus weight savings ! It keeps the American push rod nostrogy. I think the only issue is valve spring fatigue and floati. Just replace them with high quality valve springs after a certain mileage.

I am willing to bet that as well. It's a known fact that when the LS1 first came out, manual cars were dynoing easily at 300-315rwhp. Which would mean the 345hp rating at the crank was definitely underrated.

Another immature Mustang-lover heard from. Oh joy, to the world !

Push rod Proven technology. Evey thing else is very very expensive

A lot has changed since the small block V8 was introduced in 1955! One thing that remains the same is it's still a pushrod engine! The rest has changed significantly!

@@glennoropeza3545 exactly. And common knowledge

Karl B. They already are & have been for years.

Brian Hunter not really the c7 generation

No, because they are upswept and for the mid engine Corvette.

Probably not.its a nid engine.so the manifolds are almost upside down.

I guess it depends on if it uses the same heads
