If you think these sound cool you need to be there to experience the feel of it! The note of the exhaust literally shakes the ground and makes your hair stand. It's incredible!!
You might want to compare the sound a bald can makes compared to this before making such a declaration in the future. These are more like saltwater crocodiles.
This car hurts you when it drives by, haha. Seeing them at Limerock park in CT, USA was such an experience! These and the Jaguar V8s just drowned everything else out.
James Gray aye lime rock The only reason to come to Connecticut I swear it’s the only “road” we have that isn’t in a bajillion broken pieces and full of holes. (Were #2 on states with terrible roads btw)
This is great video, but it just doesn't do justice of the effect of one of these monsters blasting past you. Indeed, words can't cover it adequately. Other than a race-engineered Mazda rotary engine, the Vettes are the most "sensory intensive" race cars I have ever been near at a circuit. It is something one must experience personally.
Yep, I wouldn't even say they sound good like many other cars do. But nothing I've ever heard has the presence that the Vette does. I love seeing them live.
Treetop64 I live near Road Atlanta and have experienced these type of big American V8s for years, and you are spot on. It isn't just the noise. The pounding in your chest. The ground vibrating your feet. It is sepctacular. You should experience vintage Can Am....
Very well put. They certainly sound fantastic; unlike any other high-pitched low displacement engined vehicle on the track. I’ve seen the C5R, C6R and C7R all at Laguna Seca in California and they never disappoint for the “sensory intensive” experience.
I keep coming back here to hear the incredible sound. There is just nothing that sounds like a big liter V8. Yeah, the C9 Sauber sounds great, don't get me wrong, but the deep throaty roar of those big Chevys just can't be matched. LOVE IT !
I was fortunate to see the C6.R race at the Petite LeMans in 2011, and the C7.R at Laguna Seca in 2019. The sound they made thundering down the straights was glorious, and ground shaking. I was at the 12 Hours of Sebring a couple of weeks ago, and was extremely disappointed in how neutered the C8 sounded.
@@potatoavacadonion1025 You are. The technology we have today allows the American cars to be much much more powerful and be able to handle just as good
Thanks for putting up the video of the "Ground Pounders". If you're ever at Road Atlanta, set up above the turn 11 bridge, they really boom as they go through...
The thing I always found most impressive about the C6.R and the LS7.R engine in them, is how low they rev them out during a race, essentially because they didn’t have to take them to redline to still make the car get up and go. It’s cool here hearing the engine being revved out, but man what a motor where it doesn’t even have to go near redline and can still keep pace and win races
It’s revving much higher than you think it is. True dual exhaust makes it sound lower than it is. I have a 71 firebird with an LS and true duals. It shifts at 6700 and sounds nowhere near that.
Quand on pense que certains veulent nous "vendre" des courses de voitures électriques !...V8 Corvette, V12 Matra ...les plus belles musiques auto au monde !!! Merci BOZZY, super vidéo et super son comme d'habitude !!!
You can tell this car is American for a few things one the noise when it rockets last sounds like literal rolling thunder but those downshifts sound like literal gun shots
For the rest of the world: these are basically just tuned up c6 z06's that you can find on Facebook marketplace for less than $40k. Goddamn I love this country.
I never actually heard the Corvette's in person because unfortunately neither the C5R or C6R ever raced in Australia. But the Holden Monaro's that won the two Bathurst 24 Hour races used a 7.0L LS6 427 engine (with C5R heads) and sounded awesome (especially at the Adelaide Street Circuit where the engine noise bounced off the walls) so I'd imagine IRL the Vette's were similar.
Powered by chev.....THUNDER I know there's louder cars with a high reving screaming notes but this is just brutal and when it drives by the ground feels like is shaking is scary.
