POV Drive - Corvette C7 Stingray Z51 8 Speed Automatic

I thought I'd make another windy road POV driving video, this time with the Corvette C7 Stingray Z51. I also mounted a separate mic by the exhaust, you're welcome ;) Thanks for watching everyone!

I loved this car as soon as you started driving it. The sound is great and i believe that no engine sounds as good as the American V8 sounds and that's including the Shelby GT350 too. Actually, the Lexus RC F v8 sounds good too but the American V8 still is the best sounding car to me.

Review is very helpful I'm looking to buy a c7 like that seems like it shifts fast enough I bet it's smoother then a 10 speed I drive a 2020 10 speed gt they shift fas but they do shift rough

[@mattpeters6224]

That's the car turning on the radio whenever it feels like it. Really weird. My 2016 does the same thing.

[@MARK8088]

I used to have a Muncie 4-speed in my '67 Camaro. Got tired of working the heavy-duty clutch in rush-hour traffic. So, when I ordered my 2017 Grand Sport, I opted for the auto trans. I think the paddles are rather useless and more of a gimmick. I mean the computer in Drive mode is most efficient and best at judging as to when to shift gears. That's why the auto trans is slightly quicker than the manual in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. BTW, 80% of 2017 Corvettes produced have the auto trans.

[@anthonyphillips6962]

My 2015 camaro has paddels and they do actually serve a purpose. In drive you gotta rely on the computer to change gears. That computer cant account for your planned path. What i mean by this is that if you were instead using the paddles on a road or circuit course with lots of sharp corners and elevation changing turns etc etc. the paddles would allow you to select a gear lower then what the cpu would shift to. Thus allowing you to stay high in the rpms. Its all comfort though. I feel confident that i would lay down a faster time on a backroad with the paddles then a computer. However c7 have better tech and in track mode it may do what i do with the paddles. Just my 2 cents.

[@redactedrider7606]

You shouldn't base new cars off of your experience in older cars. I can press the clutch in on my cars with my pinkie finger if i wanted... Okay that might a bit of an exaggeration. But a 67 Camaro is light years away from the tech we have now. Hell a car 2 or 3 years old is considered pretty outdated now a days considering every year cars are getting better and more advanced. A car with 1000hp can have a clutch as light as a feather now a days.

[@thepenguin6547]

I am a new viewer and I wanted to know if you prefer the BRZ or the sexy C7. Also, loved the video keep it up

[@TexasRevving]

Thanks for watching! And you might assume I'd take the Corvette over the BRZ in all cases but really, it depends on the road and the type of driving. Mostly because this Vette is an automatic. For daily driving, I'd much rather drive the Corvette. For bombing down the freeway, Corvette again. For windy road driving, depends on the mood i guess haha. Sometime I want to really step on it for longer, heel toe rev match, etc. I enjoy the BRZ more for that. Then again, the C7 is just as enjoyable because of the exhaust note alone haha ;D

[@915nortonstdt3]

What’s the Exhaust on that

[@ms3ben]

I HATE slow responding paddles. The A8 paddles were slow in my Camaro ss, I traded for a manual after 3 months. The C7 is cool but not a fan of the direct injection and you need deep pockets if you want to heavily mod the LT1.

Im a little late to the party but I drive a 2007 saab 93 fwd with about 200 hp. Had the opportunity to drive a friends 2019 c7, power was easily manageable.

auto tyranny doesn't miss shifts, and it can shift faster then you.

Right, but what if someone just prefers the manual for the engagement? That's something numbers can't explain.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Not only is it faster than him, the 8L90 does shift faster than the PDK.

[@ZX6R2KGT]

It is technically faster going from one gear to the next but there is a longer delay before that shift happens and after you flap that paddle. However, there are companies now that can change the pressures in the transmission to make the delay shorter and the shifts even faster. There will always be people that prefer the good ol' manual trans just because they feel it is more a more engaging experience, to each their own.

[@dantton1987]

So you are saying it is not as good as a PDK but that's ok because it costs less? Sorry bud, that is not an excuse, ZF's 8 speed auto is way better than GM's and can be found in cars ranging from a lowly BMW 328 to a F-Type SVR. GM fucked up with this gearbox.

[@TexasRevving]

Better than GM isn't saying much. Plus, the 328 is nowhere near as good as a PDK and the SVR is nearly 2-3x the price of a Vette... bud. Plus, anybody looking into a Vette should probably just get a manual and problem solved. Anybody who doesn't care, is fine on automatic mode.

[@dantton1987]

Exoticars19 No need to be upset, man. First you say that the 328 is not as good as the PDK (comparing a car to a transmission), and then say the F-Type is more expensive than the Corvette. That does not make sense. The point is, ZF's 8 speed transmission is just way better (more responsive), than GM's 8 speed or even the 10 speed. I am only stating that the same tranny can be found in a wide range of cars. Even the Hellcats have one (ZF8HP90). I get that the 8 speed in the Corvette is nice, but nice is not good enough for a sportscar.

[@TexasRevving]

How doesn't that makes sense? I just stated facts. I said that the corvette shouldn't be expected to be as good as a PDK because it's a much cheaper car. Then you say that's not a good excuse and bring up the 328 & SVR as examples. Which I don't understand because the 328 is not as good as the PDK and the SVR is in a totally different price range. (2-3x the price of a Corvette) I don't know where that got lost in translation. Also, those 10 seeds are pretty good, but also not as good as PDK. Remember, this started off a comparison with PDK...

[@dantton1987]

Exoticars19 Ok, I will try to be as clear as I can. You compared, in your video, the Corvette's tranny with Porsche's and concluded something like "it isn't as good but it will do because it is cheaper". MY point was: GM auto is not ok, even considering price difference, since a transmission that is around since 2008 and can be found EVEN in a 328, is better. The transmission in a 328, is better than a transmission in a Vette. The same ZF transmission (with some changes) can be found in the Audi RS6, Dodge Challenger 394 T/A, and the Rolls Royce Wraith. See? I am strictly comparing gearboxes. I am merely pointing out the the same 8 speed from ZF can be found in cars that are both cheaper than the vette(like the challenger), and more expensive than a porsche (the RR). YOU said the 328 was nowhere near as good as the PDK. I said it is damn nearer to the PDK than GM's 8speed. To put it simply, the Corvette should be able to hold its own agains Porsche's best, in every aspect, including its gearbox, while being cheaper, that is the car selling point. Saying it is ok if it sucks because it is cheaper, won't do.

[@TexasRevving]

Ok, I have no clue where you stand but my opinions haven't changed. Either way, neither of us have a say in the automotive industry as to what tranny they decide to put in their next car so this isn't going anywhere.
