2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R | Best sounding modern GT3 ?

[@atomev8]

People are screaming "ew flat plane v8", guys, be happy that it's not another turbo v6, or even worse, they could have put a 4 banger in it

[@streetfighter4006]

Ehhhhh, my issue is that it's not a great-sounding flatplane V8 imo

[@johncarl5505]

​@@streetfighter4006The problem with flatplane V8s is they sound flat when they rev low. They only sound good at higher rpms.

[@TJMeggs890]

Yup

[@nickb5580]

@@streetfighter4006they sound a lot better in person but they’re pretty quiet for such a large engine you think they’d be deafening

[@still_guns]

A 4 banger would sound better. Also the fact that this... thing is mid engine. They should have built a Corvette, not a Ferrari.

[@spikespeak918]

Okay i can Understand People hate the Z06 GT3 R or C8 GTE because it's not a Crossplane V8 like the C7R But honestly i love this car, sound like a 458 GT3, and it's very loud, BIG 3 of GT3 with the Mustang and 720S ^^

[@felipescheibel5217]

Hear, hear!!!

[@Itscastlebravo]

I wouldn’t say very loud when you used to hear the old C7r back in the days 🤣

[@TJMeggs890]

AND the AMG GT3, Audi/lambo GT3, 911 GT3R. But props for mentioning the 720s aswell among them it's an unsung hero in terms of engine note. It's been good since the 12c chassis it was just not as noticeable with the 458, Z4, SLS, Gallardo, V12 vantage and 997 GT3 cars also making heavenly noises.

We got it, you are not masculine enough. Beta male.

[@nuckels188]

@@Itscastlebravo that thing was GNARLY. That, lexuses and bimmers made me cringe in a good way like when you hear a good metal song. Porsche was awesome too especially in 2017

[@Gelatinous_Behemoth]

I love the rev limiter sound

[@gunlyrics]

AMG, Mustang, R8 and 911 GT3.R are still my favs. I don't really like this sound but if anyone else does, I ain't got no complains

[@mrhrobinson]

Sounds wonderful, but I miss the sound of that 7.0 liter c6 gtlm vette

[@BLeongRC]

its a 5.5

[@SSGAidxn]

That limiter sound at 1:33🥵🥵

[@smartmind1345]

The New flatplane Chevy sounds amazing❤

[@goodtimeblimp]

As someone who’s heard it in person. Yes. Only the new Mustang and the Lambo give it a run for its money.

[@casscroute8706]

Long live NA engines !

[@jeffreyfinney6930]

Can listen to it all day long.

[@jlalbee]

Nice! The fact that the USA would make a car that sounds like this is, well, strange. But I love it!

[@hypezzyy]

Honestly, I love the ZO6 qnd it's probably in my top 5 best sounding modern GT3 cars. The only 4 I'd pick over it are the Lexus (oddly slept on), the Vantage GT3 Evo (sounds so soothing and futuristic, but it also has the deep AMG growl), the mustang (🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲), the 296 when you can actually hear it, and the AMG. I personally just love the sound of all the current GT3 cars, but those are my top 5

[@TJMeggs890]

Not gonna lie, AM did a great job making that Mercedes engine sound in the Vantage GT3 unique. But yeah like you alluded to, it's softer but definitely has the amg growl

[@sergio-ng4pz]

The most beautiful sound of all

[@Hermann_58]

Das frühere V8 Bollern vermisse ich doch sehr...

[@still_guns]

Dieser Motor war der Beste. Es ist wirklich schade, dass Corvettes nicht mehr hergestellt werden.

[@mrmike4496]

C8 for the win ‼️💯🏁🤌🏾

[@WynnDo-yt2oe]

That pit exit sounds like an alien war horn

[@chopper5371]

Loud and in your ears, long after you can't see it... AMERICAN MUSCLE!! 💪🇺🇸

[@AXIDNT66]

I very much prefer the sound of the C7R. As a big Corvette GT fan since the GT1 days, I'm really struggling to develop any sense of attachment to C8, and personally I think the blend of American thunder with the mid-engine platform would give it a more unique character, as now it just feels like it's trying to be like all the other mid-engine supercars. Reminds me a bit of a younger brother trying to imitate their older brother instead of being their own person.

[@arivette2010]

My sense of attachment came after I saw it in road Atlanta. The Cadillacs, 911 and the C8R would over power everything.

[@adrianprado5040]

Same, I’ve been watching racing since 2014 and I started with corvette at lemans

[@TJMeggs890]

Idk if that's the right analogy, it's older siblings did have the traditional v8 layout. It is it's own car because it's going against the grain with the cross plane layout it has.

[@TheDowntownLights]

I still think the GT3R is the best sounding GT3, but this one does seem to be the loudest

[@Vergil20000]

The thing is that the Corvette finally have a low fuel consumption which allow it to have the fuel efficiency needed for the WEC. Crossplane V8 drinks a lot of fuel, V8 flatplane on the other hand doesn't drink much fuel. Yes, It doesn't sound American, but it helps American cars be more competitive.

[@Cityboy_countrystar1]

I wonder if GM has it in another Lemans Blue Commemorative edition

[@gabrielbarcellos1036]

Que ronco ❤

[@MotorsportMeister]

Looking forward to seeing this car in person. I wasn't a huge fan of the GTE version, but I think the GT3 looks better. The yellow fronted livery looks great.

[@floppa933]

The GTE is louder

[@JoeFiddle-ls5jh]

Only thing making people proud to be American ❤

[@emreunal407]

Very Nice:))

No, stop commenting repeatedly, bro. Not everyone shares your opinion.

Is the sound similar to old dtm v8?

[@idkwhatowritehere-p3m]

It looks and sounds badass, i don't get the complains of the people

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

Most people just miss the old sound.

[@still_guns]

I miss Corvette's. What they made here is a Ferrari.

[@0mniVerse777]

street speeds straigh pipe c8 z06 sounds 10x better and has a much higher pitch. They should take notes...

[@felps_duprat]

I saw this monster in interlagos WEC race and omg. When they turned on the engine i was like "YOOOOOOOO THATS SO CRAZY🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵"

[@AD1911.]

C'est vrai que la C7 le son c étaient quelques choses toutes ma vie je m'en souviendrai de ce V8 au mans hurlé

[@alistairfannell6694]

Sounds like the old DTM series

[@benchaggaresmusic]

I don't think it sounds great on camera but I think it might sound better in person, it doesn't do it for me. I used to hear the C6R and C7R testing at Mosport a while back and this really pales in comparison to those cars.

[@floppa933]

Definitely sounds better in person but not anything like the C7.R

[@skks6165]

nice😍🥰

[@GoldMonkeyGamer]

Better V8 sound than the new Ferrari. Puts the 296 GT3 to Shame.

[@goodtimeblimp]

So true man

[@still_guns]

The 296 sounds better than this fart machine. It shares the engine with the 499P too, so it actually sounds decent.

[@goodtimeblimp]

@@still_guns hilarious. This sounds 100x better than the 296.

[@still_guns]

​@@goodtimeblimp You need your hearing checked then, because this thing sounds like a wet fart.

[@still_guns]

@@goodtimeblimp The 296 sounds way batter than this fart machine. Even a fecking Renault Clio sounds better.

[@aristoadricaprio6759]

Sound like Supercar, well it is!

[@fza6159]

GT3R still takes it for me. But I'll have to admit it sounds much better than what I had anticipated

[@04boogie-t14]

I heard both in real life and the c8 sounds better and louder.

[@BrandonPearson-mi3mw]

🤙🤖🙏

[@toms5oh]

Nah, the Lexus, Mercedes, and the Mustang sound better. But I still like the way the Vette sounds.

[@goodtimeblimp]

Lexus and Mercedes are way quieter though.

[@TimothyAhn-r2j]

I hate that I don’t like the sound 😭

[@th3orist]

Unfortunatelly sounds like a vacuum cleaner due to that flat plane crank. The NA nature of the engine is absent ☹️. Best sounding modern gt3s are the na Porsche, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Lexus.

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

This car looks evil enough to be used by Ravenwest

[@AD1911.]

Mais comme dit par un camarade c'est un V8 encore et rien que pour ça on doit se réjouir

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

C8 lost the Chevy Thunder. C8 is a great car but doesn't vibrate you and the ground like the previous Gens.

[@Eklectic1]

I want to see the Chevrolet Corvette dominant. However, this version's exhaust note is forgettable to me.

[@Raven_A5]

The best? Naa that goes to the Mustang, I put the Porsche second and the Z06 third.

[@The-fs5wn]

See, flat plane V8s need to have a good exhaust on them to really sound great. These cars do not have good exhausts. A cross-plane V8 does not have this problem.

[@revelare_xvii6269]

To be fair, the Ferrari 488 GT3 sounded exactly the same.

[@lemans_fan]

Not at all mate They are both completely different... The 488 GT3 sounds a bit like the 488 GTE, both turbo V8 so it can't sound the same as the Corvette

[@raymondchapman5990]

That Ferrari sounds like shit....

[@misegades]

I mean it's not bad, but sounds like a 4-cylinder
