What They Hid On The C8 Corvette!

[@a.c.e.7568]

The C8 needs that center channel for strength because it really isn't a coupe. A coupe uses the roof as a structural member to stiffen the chassis.

[@CarGuy11]

Makes sense thanks for watching!

[@byates59]

Yep, as I mentioned a while back in one of your live streams, the C8 still has a tunnel for structure, thus the door rockers can be lower allowing easier entry and exit! Thanks!

[@CarGuy11]

Yeah and fortunately the center console & cup holders are a little deeper than C7 as shown in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i521k6OFhMqJb6M

[@Greg_Chase]

The Lotus Esprit's excellent handling came from just such a tunnel/backbone running down the center of the car. GM owned Lotus for awhile. This chassis reminds me of the Esprit.

[@martinmccomb5462]

Would this also lend itself to the possibility of an all wheel drive system of some type? Either space for a drive shaft, or batteries for a front mounted electric motor?

[@CarGuy11]

Martin McComb Yes that is a possibility.

[@InTheZone85]

not a fan of vettes, but I love looking at exoskeletons of vehicles. One question I have, how easy is maintenance going to be on the engine/transmission? It looks like it's going to be buried like hell with everything installed.

[@CarGuy11]

Well front engine was pretty buried too but yeah won’t be easy.

[@aseriesguy]

Would be nice if CG11 kind of knew anything about what he was trying to describe. Nice color valve covers. The center tunnel chassis design goes back to Colin Chapman's '60s Lotus Elan.

Magnesium has been used on previous Corvettes. The rear bumper on the C8 is carbon fibre also.

[@CLNracing]

When you begin to fry the brakes with a Brake-By-Wire e-booster system, the smell is your really your only feedback, even if their pad temperature model is spot on (which would be impossible). If the brake temperatures are neglected for long enough (for example on track) and the fluid actually boils (rare but does happen) then the system will most likely (should) set a leak detection fault. Once a leak detection is set, we get nice things like circuit isolation and no boost. Cheers!

[@CarGuy11]

Yeah they will have to have a dash warning light when brakes get overheated.

[@peppinoesposito5465]

vaccuum boost was the same way. this system is being sold as a brake by wire, but that's really untrue. it's simply an electric over hydraulic assisted accumultator instead of a vaccuum accumulator.

Man, do you know anything about Corvettes? I don't know if I misunderstood you or you just don't know what you are talking about. The ONLY Corvettes that did not have a high center console is the C1 & C2! The C8 console is right on par with the last few generations! The only big difference is the climate control bar, whatever you want to call it. FYI the center exhaust started on the C5. Why would the side exhaust be controversial? Up until you, I've not heard or seen anything talking about the location of the exhaust exit. How does it look like the engine is hooked around 180 degrees from the C7? If it were, it would be a transverse mounted engine. Meaning the engine exhaust and cylinders would be lined up left to right. It looks like and it is a longitudinal mounted engine as all Corvettes have been.

Sadly the composite body panel material used is not "repair friendly" if damaged. Replacement of individual panels is necessary in cases when damage occurs. And those individual panels are all quite "Pricey". (They sure don't build 'em like they used to. They're not fiberglass or carbon fiber that "Can" be effectively and somewhat easily repaired) So don't "hurt" them. By the way the Corvette is not the only vehicle using this material. Pretty much all composite panels on most models use the same materials. And the prices reflect the same thing. Pricy and non-repairable. Or better said, not cost effective to try and repair. Prepare to "Bite the Bullet" and buy complete replacement panels because you can't fix them and expect a satisfactory long-term repair.

The new tranny weighs in close to 350 lbs! Or about 100 less than the engine....Crazy!....However, you can't deny the 'magical' acceleration. And a base C8 with only the Z51 will set you back $65K while at the same time only being matched by a $122K 911 Carrera S (w/out power seats!) . The C8 tested in the article below is a heavy-optioned 3LT Z51, meaning that a lighter, basic 1LT with the Z51 should do a tick better, plus it has power seats!.

What mid engine 😂?

[@franknowakowski3103]

I curse the video feature on cell phones. Now anyone can post crap videos on YT and have their own channel. All sorts of background noise. Lousy audio overall. You have little idea what You are looking at or talking about. Yet another worthless video on the C8. It's all about the clicks. Quality be damned.

[@johnb2005]

Awesome 👏🇺🇸

[@CarGuy11]

👍

[@chrisr4815]

Recorded with a patato.

[@lay1back]

You need to invest in a good microphone

[@CarGuy11]

Yep already on it lol. Tough with all the background noise.

[@Greg_Chase]

Amazing that a 2-valves per cylinder engine allows this car to do 0 to 60mph in just 2.8 seconds. Two freaking valves per cylinder. And only one cam. Amazing. . . .

[@CarGuy11]

Well DCT is a huge help.

[@nicholaslandolina]

New microphone needed ASAP

[@CarGuy11]

Yep done.

[@samuelbillups804]

Insurance is going to skyrocket compared to a top spec C7... Chevy price with Porche insurance premium.. not bad thing though

[@CarGuy11]

Perhaps but very little carbon fiber in C8 compared to C7.

[@johnmichaelsaraceno7339]

Love the car, but the big question is...Can I fit my golf clubs or SCUBA gear in it?

[@CarGuy11]

Less room than C7 but still should be able to fit it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i521k6OFhMqJb6M

[@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA]

golf clubs? Get a truck for fuck's sake and leave the performance cars for people who will use them for what they were designed for. Not being parked at stupid country clubs with elitists douchenozzles.

[@7071t6]

Not sure not sure not sure, mate upload a real good disruption of what you know for sure and not for sure, LMFAO. :)

[@hemipower3308]

Where are the cup holders ?

[@CarGuy11]

I show them in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i521k6OFhMqJb6M

[@daviddowling9830]

Nice mic

[@CarGuy11]

Already ordered a new one.

[@ralphsmallblock4367]

Wow similar to a fiero good work gm👍🏻

[@CarGuy11]

👌

[@darrinwatts9229]

That's no shit. Look what happen to that. 4 years gone

[@lesliehorwinkle]

@@darrinwatts9229 But it shouldn't have left and didn't because of poor design. It had just gotten sorted suspension wise over parts bin construction. All it needed was a correct powerplant. THAT is typical GM of the time.

[@TheEdshemery]

Do yourself a favor and watch this with the sound muted.

[@madmotorcyclist]

That mid-engine design looks to be a bitch to work on.

[@CarGuy11]

Yep

[@darrinwatts9229]

Look at that Ferrari

[@CarGuy11]

Lol

[@ryanevans604]

Take my money

[@CarGuy11]

It’s available to order now.

[@brandonlamondin6228]

horrible audio dude

[@CarGuy11]

Yeah I already bought a new mic.

[@ridermak4111]

Talking into a two dollar microphone, But that’s ok, nothing is really being said. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

[@CarGuy11]

It’s a Bluetooth mic but already bought a different one.

[@Roadrunner-g3e]

C4

[@unknown1creature]

Doesn't know what a radiator is... mmkay

[@CornFedZ06]
