Chevrolet Corvette C7R Brutal V8 Sound Compilation !

Since I noticed in the comments of my videos that you guys love the C7R as much as I do I decided to make a compilation of that wonderful american car ! In this video there are clips I filmed in 2014, 2015 and 2016. If you liked the video, feel free to share it with your friends ;) Let me know in the comment section if you want an other compilation of a specific car, I'll be glad to make it !
Enjoy that loud V8 symphony !

People watching this video trust me you have to hear this car in person the video can’t do it’s justice. This is by far the craziest sounding car on the track, sounds like an avalanche is approaching when it’s drives by.

[@Loulovesspeed]

If you stand on the short (15" high) overlook by the bridge at Lime Rock Park, you'll need ear plugs if you stay there too many laps when the Corvette is on the track, and blasts out from under the bridge. It redefines the word loud!

[@ST1NG_Auto77]

I also witnessed this car during the WeatherTech championship at Lime Rock. Boy let me tell you, this thing would vibrate your chest and rattle your ears as it drives by! To bad the new C8.r sounds like a mosquito. But now preformance is key.

I started watching vetts back in 1960 at Sebring 12 hrs, and have been in love with them since. They have such a great sound from those big V8s that they distinguish themselves from everything else on the track nowdays. However back in the 60s, The Ford Cobras also had a really great sound as well as the GT40s. Those days are gone, and I understand that the C8 performance engines will be an overhead cam which will change the sound considerably. But I,m sure that they will sound good in their own merits.

Times are a changing and I have no idea when V8 Cars will no longer race in Australia nor whether they will cancel the Bathurst 1000 too ! Besides any other V8 Super Car Races Australia Wide , etc ! One can buy Chevy Corvettes in Australia but they are NOT used for Racing here , not in the V8 Class ! Google it !

I so love listening to the many comments regarding the sounds of a V8 versus the V6. Many are from the younger fans today, but also from old farts like myself, who date back to the powerful and exciting V8 sounds of the 60s muscle cars. Let's face it though, the sound a car makes is but one measure of its overall appeal, and no measure at all of its capabilities, particularly on a race track. Sound is great, but it doesn't win races. There is no one on this planet that loves the sound of a strong American V8 any more than I do! That said, everything in life is subject to change, and automobiles are no exception. It's very clear that the internal combustion engine is not long for this world. I get a kick out of those who proclaim that they will NEVER own an electric vehicle. My response is, "well, I'll be sure and waive to you walking or bicycling along the roadways as I go by in my high performance, yes, I said high performance, electric car with 460 HP and 600 lb. ft. of torque - the 2021 Mustang Mach E GT. Back to the V8/V6 discussion, the 2019 IMSA GTLM Class saw the Porsche 911 RSR and the Ford GT take first and second place in the championship - ahead of the Corvette C7R, the BMW M8 GTE and the Ferrari 488 GTE. Two 6 cylinder cars kicked ass over the three 8 cylinder cars. I rest my case!
