Mid-Engine C8 Corvette | Why Did It Take SO LONG? | WheelHouse

[@Donut]

So I really like the new C8, obviously. I think it will have the same effect the GTR did back in 2007: sending the big boy exotics back to the drawing board by making them all look foolish at half the cost. But beyond that I'm just really stoked for Chevy & GM, showing that the US CAN produce a true European style sports car. Hopefully the racing version kicks some serious butt!

@blackandgold51 Simply existing is harmful to the environment. It's all a question of how harmful relative to extent of existence. With the li-po batteries and all the exotic processes needed to produce them, yes electric cars have a larger impact upon creation than a Corvette. Daily driving a Tesla however it's eventually much greener than a gasoline car after a few years, assuming you plug it into an electrical source powered by coal (so sooner if it's a cleaner source). That said if you just leave the 'vette garaged most of the time and don't drive it aside from on nice weekends in the summer (like most Corvette owners) its easily one of the greenest +600 hp cars on the market.

is the same to say that the next Bugatti will bury the next golf GTI, both are two different cars with different purpose behind, and don't call it bmw Supra, you look dumb as fuck

[@joebond2099]

visuals calling it what it is

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

First in long time i learnd something i didnt known from you guys, kudos to you!

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

You wanted to get under my skin , you call yourself a friend. I got more friends like you, what do I do? Hell yeah, I saw Pantera five times in my teens and twenties. R.I.P Dimebag Darrel and Vinny Paul.

I am really excited about the next Corvette... That look+V8+mid-engine layout... Always liked import cars more than our german sleepers (not like a nice sleeper that burns rubber faster than you can say "Mo powa babeh!" but like a car that makes you fall asleep at 6k rpm...) Anyway - greetings from Germany love your videos ❤️

Look Nolan it’s been 3 months and I know you’ve listened to Periphery IV by now and that’s what you have been waiting for. Not the C8🤫🤫🤫🤥

I agree with you about this being a long time coming. I am excited for this Corvette. Even more than, I am for the C5 Z06 Corvette that I am still lusting after. (:

[@JuanAntonEgo]

0:09 "It's gonna be successful?" According to GM they have sold almost all of this year's production cars... 0:49 Oh boy! I feel you bro.... Oh man!!! The Astro II looks totally badass...

[@geryz7549]

Dude, just imagine a 4-Rotor, Mid-Engine, Gullwing-Door Corvette! That would've been AWESOME!!

[@sunnyrogue27]

[@kingblax6779]

Donut always makes my mondays better! Thank you donut media!!

[@melvinmcfly4498]

Some day I want to make a replica or something like those older concepts, because they were really cool, will update in 10-20 years.

[@alklazaris3741]

I work at a Chevy dealership. I took a Vette out once for a drive and it's power was truly terrifying to me. I had never driven anything with over 300hp and was not ready for such torque. Having access to a Vette that's a lot more stable for the "novice" drivers should increase sales.

[@beeter3588]

Donut Media: why won’t Ford make a corvette competitor Chevy: *makes the Corvette a GT competitor*

[@3.2Carrera]

Dave McLellan talks about the mid engine Corvette it in his book. Corvette from the Inside. Don't forget he took over from Duntov in 1975 so the decisions that resulted in the C4 were made in the late 70's. The C4 team seemed to like Porsches like the 914 for club racing and strongly considered mid engine, but the aging C3 started to increase in sales and they didn't want to rock the boat. McLellan mentioned that the traditionalists when asked insisted the Corvette was a front engine, rear wheel drive car and that's what customers expected. Also the fact that the very existence of the Corvette was possible because of the shared drive-trains with the truck division and the economies of scale that went with that. It's very bold that the C8 is what it is. It had a lot going against it.

[@jonnyb2532]

Good review. I remember (but had forgotten) most of these cars. Dunno why GM never put the Toro's engine/transaxle in a car (like say a Covair or Fiero).

[@dirxee3545]

I've got a c3 with a swapped 454 v8 and it now makes around 470-490hp

[@MotorDetroit]

Wow. Great job guys. Very informative and entertaining as always.
