You know, a lot of fuss was made about Ford and Le Mans with the 50th Anniversary of their historic win, and it deserves recognition. But I wonder when more people are gonna acknowledge the absolute dominance of PM Corvettes? 8 ALMS championships in a row, 7 24 hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring class wins in 10 years. No matter who you are that’s incredibly impressive.

[@brianwilkins9573]

Ford who? ......I'm with ya Brendon, Corvette is dominate and will be for years to come! Let's Go Brendon!

[@spdcrzy]

The crazy part is it achieved those numbers at freaking 5400RPM WITH restrictors. Pulled like a fucking diesel out of corners at 2500RPM. Sheer INSANITY. Unrestricted supposedly these motors would have made 750 hp / 750 lb-ft of torque at 6500+ RPM, and would probably sound even more insane.

[@toddthezondalover645]

Not to mention the mufflers on these old GT1s were huge.

[@apancher]

I spoke to Jim Miller (of Pratt Miller) in 2006 about the C6R and was basically told that without any restrictiors on airflow or rpm, the engine was good for about 900hp, reliably!

[@andrelima5124]

THUNDER 4:27 at this point this is no longer a race car It's a summoned creature fom another world.

[@joaquingonzalez834]

though i must say, the Ferrari F430 GTC was a GT2 car, which explains the difference in pace here

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

When this car passes, you can feel your entire body shake. The car at 1:00 is a C6 ZR1 GT2 chassis with the engine of the C6.R GT1.

[@derkommentar5095]

Imagine this passes through at the Nordschleife, your gonna kind of jump i think :D

[@nielhekkens]

So true! My first visit to a circuit was the FIA GT race at Zolder. It was amazing to feel the car pass 1 or 2 meters from you at the gate on the back straight (behind the pits).

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

@@nielhekkens yes, I know that spot. It's one of my favorites at Zolder.

[@evanlashway329]

What about the black and white C6R does that seem louder then the rest? Because it definitely sounded like it… how well did it rattle your cage at 0:12 and 4:27 (it’s funny that I went to 427 time stamp totally on accident)

[@GeraArg]

[@michelcoutu6332]

As a Former Owner of a C6Z06, Glad to see THESE GT1s Thundering all over Europe : Without air restrictions, using a compression ratio 14:1 and burning E85, the LS7R would cause pants stains to any driver with 800 hp / 800 ft-lbs NA.

[@JaredR1996]

Lovely V8 rumble ❤️❤️❤️

[@LS1424]

I've spend many years at RA listening to the roar of the C6R and C7R. At some longer races, I would close my eyes and guess which one was the Corvette. I was correct just about everytime. The roar of the Corvettes V8 was very unique!

[@Itscastlebravo]

Yes me too haha, only car to have a big v8 so easy to hear in person ;)

[@landonsewell81]

I'm a Washington DC firefighter and in 2003 the Cadillac grand prix of American LeMans series raced there, I was lucky enough to work the pits of Team Corvette of Pratt and Miller, let me just say this if you had a weak bladder back when this beast ran, you would have needed Depends. To most it was just loud but to racing fans and Corvette lovers this was a music to our ears.

[@alfonsootanes6653]

The design of this car is ahead of it's time. One of the best and fastest. My favorite American sports car.

[@togera77]

only ONE car is louder than this monster: Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT 2003-2007. and one of my favourite drivers drove that C6.R GT1: Mike Hezemans. 2000-2011 GT1 FTW

[@slipngrip]

A man of taste and culture I see

[@ashleykennedy3982]

There's a Camaro that Reiter makes, omg loud as hell!!

[@togera77]

@@ashleykennedy3982 yeah but the Camaro is a GT3 spec. something that is not as loud as a GT1 car ;) besides, they stopped making it a while ago. they've also made the KTM X-Bow GT4. I don't think they've made anything else after that

[@fxnr1r]

The crazy part is, the engine actually made close to 700hp but they had to detune it to under 600hp for regulations but still manages pull wins

[@colevanjonack1322]

i think the gt1 7 liter made close to 800 actually

[@houseking9211]

3:42 to the right there's a guy walking down the pit lane who covers his hears when it goes past, if that doesn't tell you how insanely loud these are in person idk what will

[@rennleiter]

So glad ive had the chance to hear these monsters in real life 2007 in the GT1 race in germany

[@ediblepinevideos]

You should do the c7r next because this is the last year that they have the 5.5L V8. In 2020, the mid-engine Corvette racecar will have a flat-plane v8

[@TestHellFighter]

I thought the mid-engine corvette was going to have a v10

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

I already have a video of the C7 GTE. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6LSZn1pmcSaf80

[@kingster3835]

don´t know why but those chevy V8 engines always sound much more nasty than any other V8 - - - - - - any ideas how´s that possible?

[@ImmortanDan]

Chevy uses a pushrod (Overhead Valve, OHV) valvetrain on its V8s. This design, which most other manufacturers consider archaic, doesn't allow very high RPMs and typically only lets you have 2 valves per cylinder, but it takes up much less space and is lighter than dual overhead cams (as used on Mercedes and Ford V8s) - and this means you can stuff a higher displacement engine under the same hood. The V8 in this particular car is 7 liters or 427 cubic inches, and revs only to 6200 RPM - as such it produces a sound that is higher in intensity (because with every combustion stroke you use more air-fuel mixture, so the explosion is louder) but lower in frequency (less RPM). Or at least that's why I think it sounds like that, I haven't studied it too much.

[@gen1c8rs88]

I've seen 639 ft.lbs. and 640 ft.lbs. of torque with the 590 HP.

[@4kpingu]

1:13 what a growl

[@alsmith7270]

God, I hope Chevy never does away with the big inch push rod V8, it's just a better engine.

4:26 why does it make a sound like that? Scared shit outta me

[@DroneStrike1776]

If that exhaust could talk, it'll say Colt 45 and Whiskey. Murica.

[@poly_g6068]

This is the most overpowered, most slippery and aerodynamic Corvette they ever made. It cut through the air like the wing wasn't there. No canards on the front either, so they risked much more lift, which probably could understeer the car more when needed. It definitely had enough torque to break free if you looked at the pedal wrong. Imagine giving a 427-powered bar of soap the grip of european racing slicks. Bad decision as many competitors quickly found.
