[@shieldsupscotty]

Amaaaazing! Can you do an NB1 Miata and/or MK6 GTI?!

[@unpackingsam]

pls make a f150 raptor, a ranger raptor, or a bronco raptor one. that would be sickkk!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes send me a photo of your car on insta @yuritereshyn and I’ll do whatever

[@TheStraightPipes]

I can do the Raptors, but the grill won’t see Ford so it may not look cool

[@Affalterbach1967]

Annual fleet update for Yuriy to include electric scooter. ​@@shieldsupscotty

[@osvaldomolina6602]

The sound of that Hybrid to gas engine transition is becoming one of my favorite car sounds. The Cadillac racecar sounds superb.

[@chadzz4]

That transition from electric to gas sounds like a spaceship 😮‍💨

[@amac8487]

Chevrolet KILLED it with the design and engineering of the C8… in all variations. Kudos to those engineers!

[@G82Watts]

So copying a ferrari did it for u?

[@tfarrington]

More like design overkill, and the factory wheel setup ruins it.

[@MLProductions.1]

​@@tfarrington I agree. First thing I did was get rid of factory wheels. Offset is terrible. All C8 wheels suck

[@TheTyisawesome]

​@@G82WattsMaaan what??.. The mid engine Corvette has been Chevrolet's dream for decades...

[@amac8487]

@@G82Wattswhat model Ferrari do you own?

[@hahamasala]

The combination of the gas engine and whine of the electric motor sounds amazing!

[@filipjnc]

That's pumped in via the speakers. No e-motors of any power output are as loud in the interior.

[@hahamasala]

@@filipjnc It's mostly pumped in but the combo sounds great. I bet you can hear the wine from the outside. I love the real electric whine sound of my Chevy Volt. No piped in sound for that, but when the gas engine is also on, it probably does drown out almost all of the motor sound.

[@Jamal-ub1ko]

With the E-ray it is like the Corvette has a model to compete with every 911. Base Corvette - Carrera Z51 - Carrera S E-ray - Turbo Z06 - GT3 Z07 - GT3 RS ZR1 - GT2 Now all Chevy needs is a variant for the Carrera T and GTS

[@snakeeyes9246]

Wouldn't the ZR1 be the GT2RS?

[@ihyln1]

ZR1 isnt gonna compete with a GT2 RS when it weighs almost 4k pounds . Z06 cant even compare to a GT3 RS.

[@gaara4667]

No Turbo S competitor?🤔

[@nicholasborrelli7544]

Who cares what Porsche model is somewhat comparable? People with 200k to spend will buy whatever the hell they want and it doesn't have to make sense or be the most competitive car in the segment...

[@BrokeAndSquare]

Corvette doesn't really have any RS competitor. Unfortunately. They teased a C6 Z06X concept about a decade ago that was close but apparently Corvette customers haven't asked for all-out track variant.

[@vahidvahidnia1643]

This is hands down one of the most fun videos you’ve ever done.

[@mattmanley7118]

It’s brutal an AWD vette is wild and it’s stunning.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

AWD is a bit of a stretch... its more like a FWD and a RWD at the same time... or... at separate times lol.

[@MichaelBertolino]

Finally! The AWD Corvette review!

[@TheStraightPipes]

For the second time lol

[@StinkyYamaLinky]

Easily the most upbeat Jakub has been in a loooong time! Fantastic start to finish, and the shirts are great!

[@TheStraightPipes]

V8

[@georgesanchez8051]

Idk why anyone dislikes the electric whines combined with the gas engine. Basically sounds like some new-age supercharger, which is basically how the electric motor is used lol

[@micpango]

We meet again boys, back on the throne with another vid

[@TheStraightPipes]

💩💩💩

[@legendbourne5098]

😂

[@WildShotZ14]

That transition is just like the Caddy hypercar, i love how they implement it perfectly on the vette

[@StarboiFloyd]

Thank you

my welcome what? welcome mat?

[@ItzJosephMendoza]

I was gonna put the time of the video too but I seen your comment lol. It's sounds like the Cadillac race car.

[@UndeaKnight]

Oh my gosh, that transition to engine is bloody fantastic! :O

[@maximeparent3004]

The C8 Corvette is the best American car ever made, period. Also I freaking want a shirt with my Mazdaspeed3 face on it!!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Ok in red?

[@maximeparent3004]

@@TheStraightPipes Oh yes please!

[@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980]

I definitely love the Z06 and new ZR1 but if I had the money this is the one I would buy! There are already tuners that have stroked the 6.2 liter out to 7 liters with upgraded loping cams! That sounds like heaven!!!

[@culloutoltec9111]

1) you guys are great, all natural, no additives.. 2) one solid colour all day long, no tacky stripes no contrasting colour air scoops, contrasting grille and diffuser is just enough.. 3) great job of matching up the electric motors with a real engine.. full ev's might be temporarily fast and a few even handle but they're still baked tortilla chips (bland) with no salt (BLAND)...

[@BrienAhern]

As someone that has ridden in one, this car is seriously no joke. If youv ever ridden the old top thrill dragster from Cedar point that’s the closest feeling.

[@therealskeeterjean]

I get mine in a couple weeks, can't wait!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Rip it

[@TheTyisawesome]

Do a street 1/4mile

[@ancientfinn3738]

Great👍

[@evanfrozone]

I’ve been waiting for a direct axle hybrid for so long. Those Le Mans hybrid cars are so insane, I’m so unbelievably happy I could now see a car on the road this will switch its meaty v8 on mid pull

[@vladpootin5973]

Well, to answer you titled question, YES it definitely is ! The Corvette is fresher, more exciting overall and arguably performs even better!

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

I forgot my playback speed was set to 1.5x when I started the video, and was like holy smokes that Vette is quick! It really is quick though haha.

[@rallyeo75]

Strangely, this is the version of new Corvette that excites me the most. What a sound!

[@TheTyisawesome]

ZR1 HELLO?!?!

[@AnthonyDavis-zk8kj]

@@TheTyisawesome but the zr1 isnt awd

[@TheTyisawesome]

@@AnthonyDavis-zk8kj ahh that's true maybe the Zora they talking about will be?!

[@greengabe5]

I completely forgot about that Cadillac Race car. It’s cool to see how the technology gets passed down from racing to production cars, even if it’s only available in higher trim performance cars

[@system87music]

Love the retro synthwave music at the beginning of this video! LOVE the E-Ray's sound, performance, AWD...wow!! On my dream car list!! Stunning!!

[@revelare_xvii6269]

Imagine if the Zora is an awd hybrid version of the C8 ZR1.

[@garnetcobragaming]

It’ll be pretty heavy, but I imagine still wicked fast

[@joelbaker2172]

That's probably all it's going to be. ZR1ERay.

[@alfa_guy09]

One of my neighbors just got a brand new Z06, and it sounds so good The only Corvettes I would consider getting would be the Z06 or the ERay

[@rayestefania3725]

This is the corvette I will buy at some point. The Z06 is just sick but for the street, this is the car to have. Love the hybrid power system! It really seems to work together seamlessly. Chevrolet has really outdone themselves with the Z06 and the E-Ray! I'm not a huge fan of the regular C8 but these are amazing!

[@GRfourfun]

As a GR Yaris owner in a crappy climate AWD is king. Only thing is this Corvette has 4 times more power and sounds fricking amazing!!!!!

[@christianboyd4635]

I love that spec, absolutely perfect. Love that blue, so sweet with the white interior. Reverse from Uri I would actually like the back vents blacked out and even the side vent with the black trim just to cut the color up a little.

[@Felixtheripper]

Yuri making videos in Deadpool costumes is funny lol. He drives super cars on the week days and is Deadpool on the weekends 😂

[@anirbano]

0:54 Don't tell me that's the actual sound of the car outside when accelerating 🤯🤯 That's insane! I thought the electric sounds were only piped inside the cabin

[@TonyCraig-o5v]

Yuri and Jakub, car enthusiasts and fashion icons !

[@sueddo2634]

Corvette really did the interior sounds well. The electric/gas transition enhances the sound profile and gives character versus others in the industry just replacing sound entirely.

[@DMSparky]

We have a Camry hybrid in the family and after 15 years and 425000km the hybrid battery needed replacement. We had to drive the car to Montana (better pricing) but we had a rebuilt battery installed into the car for like $2500. The car drives like it’s brand new again. That is the only item to fail on the vehicle with the exception of a set of rear suspension bushings which tend to fail prematurely maybe every 100000km or so.

[@beardown6574]

Loved this car since it was introduced. Great power numbers with the electric/V8 combo. Love that crossover sound from hybrid to V8. And really cool design idea on those shirts!

[@parkermedarb]

You guys do terrific stuff/reviews! Well done - always!

[@labigq]

That E-Ray is sweet in blue.

[@krubee416]

I am trying to picture the Zora with the ZR1 twin turbos and the electric motor from the ERay. THAT will be NUTS!!!

[@billhenley6605]

Zora Arkus-Duntov’s original (‘54) Corvette was available *only* as a 2-speed torque converter automatic.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Damnnnnittttt

[@josequinones2251]

Not even a chevy guy but this and the zr1 are insane

[@spdcrzy]

This is the ultimate daily Corvette. I would ABSOLUTELY drive the shit out of this thing in the winter on broken Detroit roads lol.

[@oscarmakavelli]

4:31 Such a clever idea on the T-Shirts! If anyone steals this idea, I will personally hunt them down myself and sue them to oblivion. 💪🏼😂👍🏼 (“I’ve made it this far”)

[@TheMightiestBungholio]

That quarter panel salmon has the biggest smile, ever, and rightfully so...

[@MoltenSamurai]

The transition sounds straight up haunted, gives chills!

[@clubracer6]

Very cool, but not sure the old school part of me wants more complexity, but the Z06 sounds is pretty amazing. GLWS of those shirts!

[@joshuabarrett7486]

The Corvette that has had me the most excited lately!!! 🇺🇸🎧💯

[@adamnarbeaux5898]

Excellent, gentlemen!! Buying one next week.

[@matthurleyV12]

The Eray is a BEAST, I owned my c8 zo6 for a year and put 4k miles on it and loved it. I've owned my Eray for a few months now and put 2500 miles on it, I like the Eray more than the zo6. It does need a loud exhaust though, I went with AWE Track exhaust on mine and its perfection.

[@bluebomber697]

Eray is the better daily for sure. I had a C8Z for about 8 months and loved it, but it belongs on a track. My luck would only go so far trying to constantly hear that motor rev up and I would definitely wind up in jail haha. Eray is quicker and more practical for the street.

[@livinglife3230]

After 6 months of owning my c8, I’m looking to get a z06. That sound is just intoxicating. Maybe I need to do some research on the Eray before I make that jump

[@gianniferrari1122]

The e ray is my favorite of them all. That electric to gas is just awesome. I know it won’t have as much horsepower as the new one but who cares , it’s still fast and the torque is on point!

[@michaellowery928]

Awesome review. Keep ’em coming!

[@doctorjules187]

holy shit that Cadillac LMP startup blast is insane

[@sp1pilot]

With such a fast charge and discharge rate, I wonder how long the battery will last before the system is toast.

[@matthewhawkins1472]

Love your graphic designs on your shirts Yuri… Oh, and Jacob, you sure are a perty model😂😂😂 Love our Canadian brothers ❤

[@TenTenthsCars]

"DONT TURN OFF THE VIDEO" gives Tim Robinson yelling "HOLD THAT DOOR" 😂

[@ProGamerLeague]

Just want to say I’m a big fan of the these shirts! DESIGN REQUEST- can you put the big design logo on the back and a little design logo around the front pocket area

[@7sixxofilms527]

Is what Acura’s NSX should have been.

[@dogdoc1]

I agree with the paint matching

[@Zub56o1]

I'd love that car! That electric nosie is so intoxicating! Combained with gasoline V8 Is just genius! :D

[@Mursedave]

This is the Corvette to get!!

[@FuzzyMeckGT]

I love love love this! The way it sounds honestly, could confuse some people to think its just crazy supercharged or something lol

[@ckchevrier3]

Love the 80's vibe music!

[@Ivg98]

This F22 design is killing it

[@somerandomfella]

Not a fan of any electricification but this is exceptional. The V8 sounds like old school Koenigsegg. Jakub/Yuri, badges aside, would you take this over a 458?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Money no object I’d take the 458. But since money is real and a used 458 is still double the price, I’d go for this - Jakub

[@somerandomfella]

@@TheStraightPipes when I release my emoji app and it takes off, I wouldn't mind an Aperta. $1.4M AUD 😢 If it only goes ok, Corvette it is..

[@TheStraightPipes]

I’ll always take a Ferrari over a Corvette until I own my first Ferrari and get bored of it -yuri

[@charbelyounes5815]

Honestly, this may be my new favorite sounding car 😅 very unique

[@destroyerofwourlds]

im so happy they put the Cadillac Le man car when this thing first came out that Caddi was all i could thing of

[@bigchungus8037]

I think the zora will likely be the zo6 engine (no turbos) with the hybrid setup from the eray. It would be the perfect vette in my opinion, the instant torque and awd grip from the electric motor, coupled with the high revving and beautiful sounding N/A Z06 engine. Give the option to have the track aero kit from the zr1 installed and I think it might be the preferred choice for a lot of customers.

[@YouFoundNick]

Please do that shirt for the Cadillac CT5 and CT4

[@keegan809]

Love the new shirts

[@cingkole7893]

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ZORA!!!

[@RepEvox]

When you put a CARB legal supercharger kit on this, it's pretty much better than everything out there.

[@crazedhumanoid]

Man after seeing this thing with a supercharger and other mods, these are the perfect corvette

[@mustang8206]

The E Ray is massively underrated

[@Crosbyfan8709]

I haven't been like "shut up and take my money" on any vehicles in a long time. Wow chevy, this is killer!

[@the_batmobile0.4]

That's pretty cool, the electric soun then that v8 kicks in

[@adrianageone]

Great platform I can see someone swapping electric motor & Twin Turbo rear motor to pass +1200HP AWD Beast!!

[@scottbowers7248]

This car with a 7L lingenfelter eliminator motor would be a beast

[@Dapowerranger]

That transition 👌🏾 😍

[@stevenhernandez2108]

Speak it into existence! A corvette gran touring manual transmission mid engine … I would buy one asap

[@aaron-fauth]

Having been in one the hybrid transition is quite smooth for not being directly connected to the engine.

[@neo4102]

this body style looks WAYYY better than the base C8 - they fixed the fugliness of the rear w the wide body and low profile spoiler

[@davidrpriest]

The blue color is awesome. I'd rather have a Z06.

[@MarcusTurner-b5p]

Nice video keep up the good work

[@daltonnko9901]

[@ishmamnaveel2198]

That sounds godly 💯

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

You can't get a better car for the money. Chevy has been making the best value sports car for decades.

[@maddog2622]

[@drh0d3s]

Love the shirts! I’d buy a 1st gen BRZ and Mk8 Golf R.

[@derekpederson1202]

Yuri - can you please (!!!) do a German sports car shirt?? Say maybe a 997.2?? Great video as usual!

[@tomw485]

Awesome car but if price is no object I would take a 911 Turbo over this. Compared to a base 911 at a similar price point the E-Ray becomes super compelling.

[@chrisp1733]

Blue TLX Type S and I’ll buy two!
