Hey brotha, great video and beautiful vettes😍 Just wanted to share my opinion on the transmission issues. So I believe it is the tuning on the tremec dct. We both share the same transmission, GT500 for me, overall except the extra gear and transaxle design. I do not believe they are weak because we, on the GT500 side, have 200 pounds of more torque and have seen them handle 1100 pounds of torque with no issues. The only major mechanical problem we have is a bad designed connector for the oil cooler line that tends to leak. I daily my GT500 since new and have 15k miles with zero issues. Now maybe the 8th gear could be a problem because the more gears they add, the smaller the gears have to be. But like I said I really think it is tuning. Anyways, I hope you never experience any trans problems and again beautiful vettes. One day I hope to add a c8z to my collection. Used to have a c5z and absolutely loved it. Great video and I hope to see more of both beauties! P.S. we also share the same supercharger🤣 I guess the Shelby has some of the best parts from both c7 and c8 vettes🤣🤣

Love all your videos as always Justin, a lot of your comparisons are things that I hit in a similar video that I did comparing the two generations. In which case I would love your opinion. When it comes to the transmissions the simple fact of the matter is automatics are faster but manuals are more fun, period, end of story. Although I do wish that the c7 came with the TR6060 instead of the TR6070. As far as the DCT goes I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you. With the exception of the clutch packs themselves, that transmission itself is actually unbelievably strong and can easily handle four digit numbers. But just like any transmission there are growing pains with it. Yes there have been some problems but the internet always exaggerates things also. Remember when the 8L90 came out and how many problems that had? It was easily rectified with a fluid exchange. I truly believe they will work all of the kinks out for the DCT. Although I do agree and they should have been worked out at this point. And as far as your headlights on the c7 goes, you know that there is a way to convert them (easily) to LED right? I did it on mine and here is a link for you to be able to do it with yours. www.amazon.com/s?k=d3s+d3r+d3c+led&crid=2Y9AXSJMT32ZG&sprefix=d3s+d3r+d3c+led%2Caps%2C165&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

They don't have upgraded clutches you can buy? My Rs3 has dct 1300HD clutches and can handle 1300hp with just a tune and the upgraded clutches using the stock gear set which is almost unheard of. It is a benefit factor to also know how to set the ecu properly to ease off the power slightly during shifts through proper tuning otherwise i'm sure I could get a few runs in and if i'm lucky not break a gear without having the brain cut power slightly during shifts. Roll racing and normal driving though the DQ500 has been a very solid DCT proven to be very strong from factory. What is the issue with your C8? I'm sure this can be fixed as it is probably the mechatronics having issues or tcu software issue.. That is a problem with some DQ250 owners out there. I hate the DQ250 over my Rs3's DQ500.

I will have a c8zo6. And driven both at the track. The zo6 is far superior period. Lap after lap the c8zo6 ran faster. Zo6 is a track weapon. My buddy sold his zr1 and just bought the zo6.

No comp seats in the ZR1? Sorely missed option.

Agreed. Sucks. I’m working on adding them though.

The C8 is infinitely better for tall people. I'm 6'5" and can wear a helmet in the C8 while at the track. I can't fit in a C7 even without a helmet. Moving the engine to the back gave a lot more room in the foot well for tall people.

C8Z looks sexy, the sound kills it for me though. Don’t get me wrong, it sounds good. Just not a sound I’d expect or want from a Corvette. I think even the OHC LT5 on the C4 ZR1 sounds better to me. Then again, just stating my opinion for shits and giggles since this video is for public view. Not that I can afford either! 😂. 2 sweet rides at the end of the day!

Shame you never addressed what was listed in your video title but I think I know why. I don't have the funds or the garage to match your lineup but I do own a few. I dumped my C8 back in 2022 for a couple of C6's, a 2010 GS Convertible and a 2009 Z06. When it comes to Corvettes I feel the topic of interior is null and void, if "Interior" quality and comfort is a discussion point that I feel nothing at the price point can come close to a Lexus LC500. Favorite car? when one is fortunate enough to own several, I would say a favorite really depends on the driving scenario. Weekend, top-down duty with wife, The GS of course. HPDE and track days, the C6 Z06 wins hands down, even over the C8 I used to own. Daily driving and long road trips, the LC500 always. Have to mention my F250 SP, without her, boat and RV don't go anywhere. ;)

I did talk about it at the end. Each is my favorite at different times.
