Corvette C8 Z06 (Z07) vs Ferrari 458 Italia | Did Chevrolet Beat the Benchmark?

[@greebuh]

458 uses Magna Ride developed by Delphi which was owned by General Motors Corp.

[@WindyCity1992]

@greebuh Yet they call corvettes unrefined. You can never beat the status quo. Magnaride still the most Advanced Suspension ever on a production car

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

GM still controls Delphi through shares, they have a controlling stake and they also design GM suspension under contract, the suspension technology is a GM invention and has been refined ever since

[@crypto_que]

When I tell people GM developed this suspension for Ferrari they can't cope.

[@Danlovestrivium]

@@saltyfloridaman7163 Yep. Even the Ford Mustang GT-350 and GT-500s use the MagneRide suspensions, as do the Lamborghini Aventador and Huracan. If you can't beat them, join them.

I don’t understand why these reviewers keep saying the C8 Z06 is a $180k car? A base C8 Z06 starts at $112k. The LZ2 package gets you to $120k and add carbon ceramic brakes for $7k. Still sub $130k. Yes you can add the Z07 package for a stiffer ride. And you can add carbon fiber accents for looks? Doesn’t make the car any faster. And the ridiculous over MSRP days are long gone. Fact soon you’ll start seeing discounts below MSRP on the new Z06. Compare the 458 to the new C8 ZR1 and I suspect Ferrari will pale in comparison. As will a lot of exotics.

difference is that the 458 looks nice and elegant the Corvette looks like an american Honda Civic type R (the new, ugly versions) Corvettes looked good in the past.. but this one is so ugly. Looks like it was drawn by a child. id rather have an slower Corvette with front engines then a fast one that looks like a cheap italien copy of a supercar. performance is not everything. Sometimes a nice crossplane V8 that rumbles deeply and a slick design with long hood and an analog gear shifter is WAY more enjoyable then a rear engine track weapon.

[@makstone]

200 and 340 treadwear vs the carbon wheels and MPS 2r's at 150tw. WHY dumping size of rim? That throws the suspension geometry off from 1" to 2 "'s . You said, " close " to the 458 lol. The 458 is lowered, does it have springs? That is not stock height and rims are not stock. C8's came from the factor with specific settings for the suspension as we saw with the standard C8. its has a around town and track alignment/camber settings.

[@yeetusdeletus9]

The owner lowered the rim size but upped the tire sidewall size so they work out to be the same diameter as stock. The owner either tracks the car often or lives in an area with a ton of bumpy roads so the extra sidewall would help in both situations. The owner mentions in a comment that hes waiting for the right tire sizes to come into stock, so that explains the mismatched tires front to back

Wait, what? In Z Mode you can change the C8 individual performance settings in real time while driving using the sliders on the touch screen?!!! I've never used Z Mode because it's so easy to use the center-console mode selection wheel to simply go between Track Mode when I want to hit it, or back to Tour Mode when I'm downtown or in a residential neighborhood with speed limits no more than 30 mph. So, not having used Z Mode, now that I've seen this video, I realize I incorrectly thought the individual settings in Z Mode needed to be preset prior to entering Z Mode. Even if I would have considered it before watching this video, I would have thought it would be a four-step, three-step, or at least two-step process to change individual settings in Z Mode while driving, such as going to Settings, opening Z Mode settings, changing the individual performance settings with the sliders, and then saving those settings before hitting the Z Mode button. But, now seeing this video, it looks like you can have the Z Mode settings open on the touch screen and use the sliders for each individual performance setting and that each individual setting you change takes effect on the C8 (virtually) immediately in real time when you change the slider? I'm taking my car up the canyon right now! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm anxious to play around with this feature, which I previously didn't even realize was available, to see how it actually works in real life.

They really need to make upper limit upshifts automatic even in manual mode. In my ZL1 A10 after adjusting the tcm, I can never accidentally hit the rev limiter.

A 2017 up Dodge Viper will pull as hard as the ZO6 if not more so and it's naturally aspirated as well.

I don't know why but I much prefer the vision inside the Vette than the 458 , just seems less scary around the corners and overall .

[@mannygarcia1810]

Love the TE-37, just not on a 458...

Says a lot when you compared a brand new car against an old out dated car....and feel like it's a fare comparison😅😅😅

[@markw9512]

A lot of parroting of this point going on in this thread. Ferrari used the same chassis in the two successors to the 458, 488 and the F8, and have only slightly modified it since. So it’s not exactly a horse and buggy is it?

[@MMAmachinhead92]

They're comparing engine specs since they're similar

Jubbal will never experience more satisfying steering outside his Emira. Lotus has ruined all other steering 😂

[@jubbalandcars]

750S is #1 steering in my book, followed by Elise and Evora GT, with Emira trailing not too far behind

@@jubbalandcars The convertible weight is 100 lbs heavier than the Targa(if there was a true Coupe there would be a 150lbs difference, because of additional reinforcements). Really wish the C8 Z06 had 5lbs per HP, was 5.6L(103.75mm×83mm) with 700hp at 8600rpm/480ft.lbs at 6100rpm, a 9000rpm redline(a GM engineer said the valvetrain is durable up to 9000rpm and said GM wanted as much low end torque as possible), have better steering and break communication, have a 395mm front rotor diameter with 285/35r19 on 10.5's and 345/30r20 on 13's(taller sidewall allows for stiffer spring rates), front quarter vents/more prominent rear defuser/and active aero for the Z07 package. But... I realize the base C8 would had started at 80K in 2020 and be 95k by the end of C8 production, making the Z06 start at 135K in 2023 and 145K in 2027, making the ZR1 start at 210K in 2025 and 215K in 2027.

I just can't get excited about a car you can't shift. Without a manual transmission it's just a boring ride. 😢

[@edgelord_5second713]

The only mistake in the video is, using a convertible instead of a coupe, aside from that great video

[@leswinegar4734]

The simple design FLOWS on the Ferrari and the Corvette....Not so Much. And that Corvette interior...OUCH!
