Chevy STOLE Ferrari's Engine To Destroy The Competition 

Hey are u guys doing a give away

I would buy this, mainly because ferrari is so stupidly strict with their cars you can get a cease and desist

Ferrari. The corvette will depreciate while the Ferrari will only gain value

That “lay” within, not “lied” within

Ferrari, and I did.

No shit man!!

Hybrid...

Holy shite, YOU'RE RIGHT!

Faster but not as high revving unfortunately

Supercharged

👍.

Until the dealerships mark them up $50k...

I would say a budget super car it's no longer a super car slayer it is a super car

I think using the term “budget” to refer to a vehicle which runs well up over $100k (over $150K with Z07) is kind of silly, that’s well into Mercedes S-Class territory. Cheap it isn’t!

@@markw9512 it depends on your budget

You mean Ferrari is not in the reliability market!🤣

Perhaps Lamborghini could use that GM pushrod truck engine to make a faster, more furious…tractor? Does Lamborghini even make tractors anymore? Probably not after the Miura…SVJ!

@@jeffscott3160 right? 🤣🤣🤣

@@jeffscott3160 Neither is GM, GM shit breaks constantly. It’s not a Toyota or Honda.

@@kronk9418 Don't think any of your beloved ricers are part of the supercar conversation but thanks for playing cupcake!

Ahh.. I really think that honor goes to the Dodge Viper

Cool story, bro. Pics or lies.

I think both Ford and GM can do some amazing things when they really want to. Glad to see some American exotics hitting the market!

Twice as much. Well almost. A Z06 is $110k and a C8 is only $65k, 70% more.

It looks extremely cheap.

@@kronk9418 lol it's literally plastic glued together

Mid engine GT 40 would be my first choice

Chevy should do what tesla is doing and terminate the dealerships and sell directly to the people

Supply and demand! Welcome to America

@@patrickr2686 my thoughts exactly.

MSRP dealers are many. Just needed to get in line 2-3years ago to get it soon. My deposit was put in early 2020. No extra fees and allocation coming any day…

​@@highpeaks6542 You should check out RacerX story and also C. W. Lemoine.

I seriously doubt any car manufacturer has any plans for rocket powered cars.

LT6 TT or supercharged

Its called a Tesla Model S Plaid.

@@m.m4982 Tesla Roadster might have cold gas thrusters. Its close.

One thing's for sure... the ZR1 will need forced induction, and a different engine, to top those numbers. Like the 7.0L that debuted in 2003... this engine simply won't tolerate much in the way of power adders. The fatigue life of titanium connecting rods, simply won't stand it for 100,000 miles. If they drop the rods, that means they'll have to revert to a crossplane crank, because the flat plane crack can't swing that much mass and survive. That also means less RPM, and more displacement, just to hit the LT's baseline. So it will definitely need forced induction for anything more. I'm more curious about the Z06. Traditionally, Z06 was basically just a road-legal lightening package... where they took the light body variant, ditched any unnecessary fluff, and gave it the best performing powerplant with a hotter cam. I doubt there's any headroom for a cam upgrade to the LT... and short of ditching the infotainment center and floormats... I don't think there's much they can do to make it lighter, and still pass safety requirements. So is this really a Z06 at all... or another fake play on an old nameplate?

nonsense...is like saying that using a turbo today means copying from who invented the turbo before 1900. Do you think there is much in common between early Cadillac flat planes and a 458 engine? There is definitely way more which GM learnt from opening up a 458 engine bought in Poland than the resemblance between a modern flat plane engine and GM's early designs. I dont think you want to start talking about patents from Otto, Benz and Daimer right? If today a z06 is using ESC do you say it copied Mercedes Benz from the 80s?

@@j7b890 GMs entire lineup is based on BENCHMARKING since restructuring. All Camaros and Cadillacs are based on BMWs design for its 3 series, but GM takes it further than anyone could have imagined. The actual chassis of a C8 is based on a 458, BUT ITS TEN TIMES BETTER. GM knows the consumer game very well.

@@j7b890 Ferrari stole GM’s magnetic shocks from them after licensing it from them for years. And this engine has a lot of innovations the 458 didn’t, including the lack of hugely expensive maintenance to keep it up and running.

@@markw9512 Ferrari is paying for that technology , as well as paying for multimatic ones on higher models. Guess your idea of stealing is a confused one. 458 engines are quite reliable. plenty of people race them. By the way, do you also say that all of Corvettes steal brakes from Brembo (which Ferrari uses since the 70's) ? Just to understand your thinking..

@@j7b890 Ferrari stole the magnetic shocks from GM, that’s a fact. Ferrari license to technology from GM for multiple years before finally, magically, inventing their own variation on the design. So you want to talk about benchmarking? They paid a lot of money for that benchmark. And How much does it cost to maintain a Ferrari 458? It needs to be have expensive maintenance performed ($thousands), the Z06 motor will not need to be opened up before 100,000 miles.

I just saw prices are falling big time and inventory is really going up. Please use that to get a good price

I saw a motor carrier FULL of c8s pull into my local dealership earlier this week. They all had the wraps on them unfortunately...

@@user-zx1ir7jt4c that just means those who want one can get one without having to pay over. They should be able to negotiate like any other car. I saw a corvette world ad where they were cutting prices on all their C8s. People don’t realize the C8 opportunity that’s available now. The Z06s are showing up people aren’t going to pay over anymore

@@user-zx1ir7jt4c I'm an intermodal truck driver, see them all the time going down the highway coming from Bowling Green.

It took me 8 months after ordering to arrival then sold it 6 months later.

The C8 actually rides on the same platform as three of its predecessors (C5, C6, and C7), just the engine layout changed. It's not an all-new design, nor is the Z06's 5.5L engine a clean-sheet like the video says. It's a short-stroked LT1 which in turn is an evolution of the LS3, which is an evolution of the LS2 and of the LS1

@@thatboringblenderguy what? It’s a complete ground up build. It does NOT share the same architecture with any of the previous cars at all. Also, the LT6 does not share any parts with any previous GM engine. No idea where you got that. Maybe you’re thinking of the LT2

@@APFSDS-DU Cadillac made a mid engine concept car don't forget about that

@@APFSDS-DU The LT6 is a slightly bored up, heavily stroked down LT2 to allow for a flat plane crank. You can convert a pushrod into a cammer (though not the other way around). Lotus helped GM with that back in the 80s. Even Ford did that. Only problem is it costs a lot of development $$$

@@APFSDS-DU The Corvette C8 is called Y2XX while C7 and earlier, dating back to C4 were called Y1XX (C5 got a heavily revised chassis and it continued on with C6 and C7). Corvette as a sub-brand (it really is its own brand since it has an assembly plant exclusive to Corvette, and it's Corvette's only assembly plant) made the C8 more complex than a traditional, semi-muscle quasi-grand tourer. Mid-engine and dual-clutch. Many front-engine cars got converted to rear-engine, like the Renault V6 Clio, but that's for another topic... (C8 is mid, but that's not far off). To be fair, C4 to C7 models are all front-MID

no, most of what he said was BS, see my other comments

Look up SBC Crossplane on YT. Somebody built one back in the '50's or '60's. The man that owns it now bought off of eBay 20 some years ago bur never put it together. He finally did and made a video of it on a Dyno. It's pretty dang wild. For what it is and the weight of the parts available at the time, it puts down respectable power.

Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying

Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?

@@hoshifuyo4494 Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?

Thanks for replying me, I've heard so many people talk about investment but none had said how to do it right.

Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments

I think the mid engine layout is.

@@nezabytes awesome they did but the rig is not impressive at all it has too much understeer and the c8 stingray is slower than a 2010 gtr with less power more weight and worse tires

That's my biggest issue as well. I have a 997 911 turbo and have been itching to get into a Z06 but every time I see it in person (the base) it just looks cheap and bolted on. The wing looks terrible too so I would consider a delete. Maybe I have to wait and see the ZO6 in person.

If that's what cheap looks like, sign me up for Z07 pack Z06 please!

Meanwhile you're 16

Try 38 and have the means to buy one, got the wife’s approval after a year of nagging and when I saw in person just was so let down. no test drives so I can’t comment on that but looks ugly it doesn’t flow well .

GM was well out of bankruptcy by 2014 and I am excited for what they think of next. One key lesson GM learned is that nobody wants the average car designed for an average person. Look for more interesting and unique cars from GM in the future for sure!

They said with c7 they were at the limits of what they could do with a front engine car.

I’m really tempted to put one in my c3 but I doubt it’ll fit

@@0xymfzzty0 While i enjoy some builds that rival the space shuttle in complexity, I would rather just go old school big block with a classic C3. Old school builds just seem to have more spirit and heart for me....

@@The_Hulkster Yeah that’s the main reason I stayed with my rebuilt (now 372) 350sbc, but pushing a measly ~400 hp is rookie territory 😂. I don’t really like the big blocks and force induction on an factory engines is illegal in my country, I’ll probably give in to my friends and stroke it

@@0xymfzzty0 wait a little longer, someone will eventually shoehorn that thing on a C3.

@@squidusn71 it will find its way into a miata eventually 😂

Don’t forget the new balance shoes 😁 all jokes aside yes they actually have something special there.

Agree with you and I’m also 52 and a Porsche owner! Seems like a great car!!

And the C5, C7, C8, and the cadillac prototypes.

Say it again!

Manual transmissions are dead in super cars. The only reason they exist is for the memes. Machines can do it better, faster, and more precise than a human can. They also have multiple engagement gears that have almost zero time between shifts. As someone who enjoys a manual transmission car and DDs a GD WRX. These cars are just on an entirely different level. F1 don't really usual manual transmission cars anymore either not really. Most race cars use inline shifters which isn't really all that manual. Sure you're controlling the time when gears engage, but they are doing almost zero clutch work.

@@seemlesslies The median age of Corvette buyers is 61 YEARS. As an older buyer, myself, my hips and knees are in no shape. I drove nothing but manual cars for over 40 years. But now my 6-speed Mazda 6 rarely leaves the driveway, and it's clutch is feather light compared to those in performance cars. Besides, neither my daughter nor her friends can even drive a manual -- half of them don't drive, period!

They can rev high but you lose power down low. What’s the highest revving production pushrod? The DOHC with cam phasers on each and variable lift on the cams can make an engine that makes power at a much wider rev range. I’d totally rock an LS7 or LS3 so I’m no hater.

@@kc510 You may argue production but Hennessy F5 6.6L TT is said to rev to around 8500 in vmax mode. As far as n/a can't really think of a any production model.

Yeah but no at that point the pushrod is useless for every day use and the high spring pressure would kill economy ohc is just better all the way

@@austinhowze6280 OHC makes the engine taller. That's why 5.5L is the biggest DOHC anyone's seen in a sports car, but there's a 10.4L big block with more HP than the DOHC that I believe could fit in the Corvette.

@@xxxYYZxxx theres 2000hp dohc honda based engines no need for displacement if the heads don't flow the air

@@sjb3460 I learned what a crankshaft is from the movie Tenet. It's a device that can make the world go backward through time. I'm assuming camshafts have something to do with time travel.

half of what the guy says are lies. It's like he doesn't even know anything about cars and is just some yoyo making vids.

@@lqr824 could have been straight out of Fast and Furious 😂🤣😂

@@lqr824 Yeah im still stuck on the click bate title of the video.

100 laps at a dirt track comes to some 50 miles or so, not exactly a testament to longevity.

@@uliwehner last one my old man built in 90’s for a friend of his is still running…

@@Thumper68 hat's off to your old man. did a little bit of math. if the car ran 50 miles every saturday for 30 years, that would make for 75,000 miles. Impressive but still less than what is expected of the average honda civic over the same period.

@@uliwehner the average civic not running wide open in awful conditions though lol. And not making near the power as well what 500 or so less hp…

@@Thumper68 my point is really that a pushrod SBC does not run at 8 grand like a say Porsche 911, and also last. i am an old aircooled VW guy, so pushrod engines are very dear to my heart, but they don't last if rev'd to 8 grand either.

To be honest dodges engines are the best in my opinion when it comes to raw power out of a factory engine.

GM is finally catching up with the rest of the world. Nearly all 2022 cars are 4v dohc vvt, and now in 2022, most are also turbo.

Apostrophe abuse. Is 'boundaries' so hard to type? (My Android suggested it, by the time I had typed 'bou... ') Apostrophes are for contractions or possessive form. (I know your teachers never stressed or enforced this.)

@@jamiebowles4588 Who cares man.

@@hb-ol9oc Anybody who cares about clarity in written communication. I admit that there are fewer & fewer of us, as time goes on. Welcome to Babel 2.0, dude. Punctuation matters.

I am scared for the engine supports. Videos I have seen of the engine flexing with gear shifting gives me pause, then the more powerful Z06, more engine flexing. By the time we get to a twin turbo 5.5 liter possibly 800+ HP the lightweight frame the supports are attached will be screaming for relief. Thats what full warranties are for, I guess.

As long as they get that power to the wheels..

Agreed

He probably talking about the Flat plane crank because that’s what Ferrari uses in the OEM engines this isn’t anything new a woman did swapped a set of flat plane cranks and twin turbocharged her LT1 when she first bought her new Corvette and converted it to a drag car breaking records when that car first came out, she was the first to create that mod on the new corvette but not the first to bring a heavy modified LT1, there’s a video on 1320 where a guy built a twin turbocharged LT1 doing 7’s as a daily with no plane crank

Agreed and many other intakes used similar designs I think they old hilborn could be included and the butterflys date back to the late 80s and early 90s too. In fact one of them was the 1989 Ford SHO had a 220 horse 3 liter six with 12 "tuned" intake runners. Six longer narrow set of primaries for low end torque and at about 4k rpm the butterflies opened up a second set of short fat tubes for high rpm volume. You could literally bury the 8k tach but the cable shifter was atrocious. Just saying there new tech has been around for awhile but pump it up for the buyers the drivers know what's what. Meh

1990 ZR1 LT5 DOHC motor, tuned runner length and 4 valves per cylinder.

@@Tehzii I remember when that car came out, it was a big load of holy cow for a 20 year old kid.

The engine still has to abide by epa mandates. Anybody tuning that can turn a blind eye to that. They might squeeze a couple more horses out.

@@victorcordova1508 Exactly. Even high flow cats and headers will probably net 15-20hp. It did on my cayman.

True. BMW got to that point with the straight 6 in the M3's. Had to force induction to get anything more out of them.

Its far from maxed out. But I'm just some hillbilly from Michigan.

Two bottles of NOSS, a stand alone computer for tuning, some head porting and Titanium valves for more RPM's.

I think all the rockets stamped on the engine allude also to the Rocket V-8s of the 1950 Oldsmobiles, which a thing in their day.

More like copying 😊👍❤️💯🔥🙏

@@ashookchandra8191 they have done that since the beginning of the company.

@@ashookchandra8191 bro is mad and salty

because the LT6 is a converted LT2, which in turn is an LT1 and an LS3

Australia my friend. they have a car scene greater than us based and it seems like the fucks given over there is minimal as far as cars go.

@@daltonsweeney2567 I know the car culture there is big, but not much more than that Im afraid. TIL

What??? Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ferrari, and Mercedes would like to have a word with you.

@@SuperSilvi1990 They’re all turbocharged these days. This is naturally aspirated, different ballgame.

@@SuperSilvi1990 now ask yourself why can this car be had for 90-130k and still mentioned with this level of performance

weird because buick was the first ever brand to use a ohc engine in a automobile.... And Cadillac was the first ever company to use a v8 in a automobile... Nothing close to ford is on this car. The lt5 in the 90s zr1 was also dohc and co developed by lotus and mercury again nothing like fords mod motors.

There's not any "old Ford technology" in the LT6...thank God! The Modular/Coyote/Voodoo engine designs are terrible from a performance standpoint, they have to use superchargers to get any HP. The basic design flaw is they kept the bore spacing of the OHV small block Ford engine. Once they made that decision in the '80s, all future engines were handicapped for performance applications. The Voodoo engine is horrible because the stroke is too long, a dimension driven by the decision to use the narrow bore centers of the old small block Ford OHV engine. They should have made the bore as large as possible within the bore center constraints and let the displacement be determined by the use of a stroke no longer than 3.1".

The love and admiration of enviroweinies everywhere!

They didn’t do anything for ten years… it just sounds cool.

Did Ford go racing with it?? Can't say performance and not put it to the test like GM did here.

Weren’t they the ones who started the magnetic ride control as well?

The question that I ask

Z06 options have always been about performance though. I'm in my mid 50s, ride Ducati superbikes and all my cars *(including my Corvette) are manual trans and pretty much as stripped down and light as I could order/build them. Hell, I don't even own a single pair of white new balances .😆

@CCH7540 I have a c5 z06, that is cammed and has a super heavy clutch. All class has been removed for performance. I went too far, it's like having a Ducati in my parking spot. I usually drive my miata. My body isn't what it used to be. If I had a base model automatic I'd probably have sold the miata by now.

@@norman1907 I can relate :) Broken back, neck surgeries, ribs, feet/toes, fingers, both collar bones, a sternum, right arm and left leg over the years. My C7 Grand sport M7 is probably the most civilized ride other than my wife's Grand Cherokee, but then I've got a old Mustang with a stroker motor, 6 point bar, fixed race buckets and a clutch that'd wear out a bodybuilder in traffic. Sometimes we just go too far :D

@@CCH7540 my surgery is in 8 days. Opening up the lumbar, under for 6 hours. I hope I come out of it still shooting flames from my tailpipe like you.

@@norman1907 I sincerely hope you do too sir. Best of luck! Only advice I have is to actually pay attention to and abide by their instructions on how to properly recover :) I've been known to not always be as patient as instructed and it usually comes back to bite me. I'm getting smarter as I age, but it's a crap shoot as to whether the increase in my wisdom will ever surpass my ability to injure myself 😆
