Hmm…how is the c8 tuned?
Nice kill for the GT-500!!!
I have trouble giving this one full credit...we are talking about 2 cars with at LEAST 10mph between them in the 1/4 mile roll racing and it's that close? FBO on an NA car will not explain it.
I smell some juice flowing in this one...spray on the vette is my guess.

lol.. thats probably the greatest compliment u could give the chevy. wow. it does have 6.2 liters to work with.......... imagine the thumping the mustang would take if the c8 had a turbo kit on it and a tunable ecu....... that day will feel like christmas to me.

FBO, weight reduction, and E85 is what is claimed.
the c8 is the perfect BASE for something crazy. the 3400 pound car is light enough to be nimble. the motor is right over the tires and this almost eliminates traction issues completely... on almost any surface. With 1000HP this car would be the most fun you EVER had in a car... tuning through the ECU opens up possibilities that dont exist right now. Reducing torque between shifts to save the tranny would be possible with ECU tuning... much more effectively than with the fueltek or motec piggybacks they are currently using for high HP turbo cars. Be nice to outrun a tesla plaid in a straight line.. be COMICAl to see the tesla try to keep up at any racetrack with it 4800 pound weight... yes.. u read that correctly.... 4 8 0 0 POUNDS. the tesla is that chubby PRETTY girl in high school that ALOT of people wanna screw just ONCE. and then never mention it again.

I feel the same way. He actually started gaining in the first one...doesn't add up.
I'd get it from a dig sure, but not the roll.
Reminds me of a video where a 350 kept up or beat a C7 Z06 auto and there's just no way the vette didn't have an issue. If you've been in both of those cars you know who'd win
I disagree...here's why...stock times for each

As you can see the GT500 is nearly 8 full seconds ahead by 160. Bolt on's or not that vette has something hidden. I guess 150-200 shot of spray.
tesla plaid will beat the c8 ANYWHERE you pick. i know it beat the c8 by a full 10 seconds at laguna seca.
the gt500 smokes the c8 at laguna too.
i know your impressed with the c8 but let's really call it what it really is...a copied mclaren 12c/ferrari 488 without turbos and without mclaren/ferrari racing tech.
i had my mclaren when the c8 came out and could not believe how much chevy copied the 12c in design etc.
its a GREAT car just without the HP of the rest of the exotics... its a great car for me to fly through the hood lookin good in. it hooks like valcro. its light.... i dont have enough money to buy a ferrari or mclaren. this will have to do. i have a FAST bike. really fast... not an 8 second car...... really fast. 500 pound bike that makes over 600HP. scary fast. one of a hanfull of streetbikes that actually made 600hp and can prove it and idles and doesnt overheat or do any weird shit. LOTS of work gettuing that bike at 1000 percent and a years salary almost. Im very proud of that bike. If i had the money.. u can bet your ass i would have bought the ferrari though. no question, The truth is... I am lucky to even have the corvette. I feel blessed. I risked my life for a LONG time to be able to do this. 1000 hours of overtime. But i got there. Alot of people work very hard and for a long time and NEVER get to drive/own one of these cars. Some other people come from money and their dad owns a business or whatever and they get to live a certain type of life. I was born handsome....... NOT rich. So the corvette is as far as i go. And im ok with that. Im blessed. i have my health... some of my youth left and people that love me. I feel great. The c8 is a GREAT car. I have zero debt and 3 credit cards... lets see if i cant add 300HP in time...... I LOVE to tinker and modify stuff and its no secret how to really juice up an LS(now its called an LT motor)....PANTY DROPPER.

I got oceanfront property in Uzbekistan i wanna cut u a deal on. just for YOU. nobody else. this deal is solely for YOU. Because i LIKE you. NO other reason. interested? Its a good investment opportunity for you and your husband.
He's right. Sorry you have a hard on for the C8. I'd suggest joining a Chevy forum. Fan boys are annoying.
Looks like the car isn’t the only thinking shooting nitrous.
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug"
guy acts like we are hating but im just stating facts. i have driven the c8 and owned MANY vettes over the years...the king of vettes is still the C7Zr1 IMO.
now if he would have shown a c7zr1 gapping a gt500 i would believe it...lol
