Good on-track video with a 911 GT3 RS

Not saying either driver was brilliant or driving to the car's limit, but it shows that the C8 is no slouch.

On paper, they should be fairly close on track...

Cant focus on anything other than the ugly steering wheel

The interior is fantastic, reminds me of a modern FD3S cockpit, does look like a fighter jet, I actually like the steering wheel reminds of an F1 steering wheel. C8 kept up with GT3 costing 3x times as much, impressive.

Not sure how hard the Porsche was trying. If he had a GPS onboard he might have found an apex or two! Certainly, he did not appear to use the full effect of the brakes on that car.

The video description made it clear that this was not a race or head-to-head comparison. That said, the Vette performed well, and did not seem to exhibit any issues on track (mechanically or in terms of grip or braking - admittedly, I didn't watch the whole thing - just bits of it). It looked very competent out there, though.

I'm not going to come to any conclusions on this battle until i see someone like Randy Pobst drive both.

I've ran down Z06s, M3s, GTRs, and other stuff on the track, but got the doors blown off by a S2000

^ This.
Preferably a driver who hasn't already made up his mind before hand (or had the people sponsoring the test do it for him).

Ditto on the experiences. I've chased down and passed a GT3-RS, and been lapped by others. You cannot tell unless you know the driver.

Those stealthy well trained drivers in 'slower cars' like a Lotus Elise/S2000 do make others look somewhat 'amateur' at times. Have certainly endured that myself!!

Training is amazing!

Once again, I can't focus on anything except the the steering wheel. The interior could be covered in gold for all I care. The steering wheel reminds me of a giant full diaper from the back.

Is that Mirror digital? I'm still trying to find something that clear for the Z

cossie1600 04-07-2020 02:29 PM

I don’t think digital mirror are legal in the us yet

Got this win out here in Daytona, brother. I don't want to hear lip from you European "sports car" snobs. GM is about to take back that GTLM class title in the WT Sports Car Championship. You haven't seen what this middle engine technology can do.

2022 corvette z06

The flat plane crank sounds like a McLaren or Koenigsegg. Krazy!!!

I wonder how much?
This car seems to be getting way more treatments than past Z06's. Must come with a heavy price tag?

UNKNOWN_370 08-19-2020 06:56 PM

Haters gonna Hate! Lol.
The corvette is not being obliterated. But for 60k n/a. Its doing a good job. Let's see what happens with that Zed 06
