Proof that Porsche doesn't need to build bigger engines bc they're just insanely good.

To auto-lock the Corvette, it's done through the infotainment screen. Settings -> Vehicle -> Remote Lock, Unlock, and Start -> Passive Door Lock -> On.

You guys were keeping this one in your back pocket for a bit lol…there’s not even any leaves on the trees!

[russ]

So the slowest mode available in the Corvette is Yuri mode. 🤣

[frtorres]

I’m very impressed with that Porsche Boxster

[JohnSandovalesq]

I’d choose the Porsche, I think the looks are more classic and I imagine the car will hold up better over time. Plus you can get one with a manual transmission.

[Armen]

Both awesome cars. I think I’d take the C8 just because it looks so wild and is an all around great performer. But a Boxster in a manual is probably the most pure driving experience.

[Mike.W.Dasher]

Honestly, as much as I've always loved Corvettes, the fact that you can get that 4L Boxster with a manual seals the deal. There will be plenty of time to drive cars where you don't have to do any manual shifting when everything is electric. The only thing better than an amazing sounding NA engine, is an amazing sounding NA engine bolted to an excellent manual gearbox. Gotta go Boxster GTS.

I’m a yellow corvette convertible guy in my heart, but a used white Chrysler 300 in my wallet.

It's crazy to think in 2 weeks it'll be 2 years since the C8 was released. Still feels new like it was 6 months ago lol. ig now the Mach E helms the most controversial sports car.

[ACCELERTV]

That camera tracking angle though on the launches 😍

[Braintrainz]

That GTS Boxster is amazingly good ! I did a Porsche driving experience event at Pikes Peak Raceway in Colorado and that was one of the cars we drove on the track it was so excellent. I'm really impressed how far the Corvette has come, this is the base model convertible with options that in many ways is neck and neck with the Porsche which is excellent in it's own right.

[oopopp]

I like how it comes off as the C8 biggest fault in this vid is the bright yellow color... lol... you can change the color of the car...

[capybarasaresick]

Love the exterior colour of the C8. Love the interior colour of the Boxster…

[BoCObeats]

This was great seeing back to back races with different modes engaged, fine work

[truebras]

Nobody knows how to put power on the ground like Porsche.

[rmpph]

Hated when MT cancelled Head 2 Head but with content like this I don't miss it anymore.

[chrispurdy]

After driving a Porsche on the track, I would go with the Boxster

[tango_oscar]

The Corvette always catches me off guard on the streets
