Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how this video gets straight to the point. Intro clip of the 2 cars racing with no shitty music, immediately into the first run, great camera work. Hard to find these kinds of videos any more.

Never mind the cars performance.
Whoever was in charge of cameras and editing deserves a round off applause 👏👏👏

If the stock C8 is that fast, imaging how fast a twin-turbo tuned version or the ZO6 & ZR-1 variants will be!

Corvettes were one of the first performance cars to really put focus on power to weight ratios over pure horsepower. Proof in the pudding to this day

[axle]

I love how GM demonstrates that building a proper performance car isn't just about shoving the most amount of power under the hood. Traction, weight distribution, hugely important obviously.

[binostunts]

Horsepower doesn’t matter if you can’t put the power down...

[samuelsotodiaz]

Once again, Chevrolet and all the Corvette engineers have done a spectacular job with this car. I'm excited to see what the ZR1 version of this car is like.

[yriyahyriyahs]

Soo the zo6 and zr1 won’t even be fair to race against. The vette has leveled up 3 classes above muscle cars.

[mattpatterson]

Charger may have lost, but that is one of the best sounding cars I’ve heard

[BurtReynolds.]

That Corvette is going to be sick when they release the faster models. Omg

[TheFamilyCarGuy]

This goes to show you how much traction and weight makes a difference. The C8 is benefitting hugely with the new midengine configuration. It also goes to show you that you need to immediately purchase drag radials when you buy a hellcat lol

[johnsrandomness]

I’m going to remind everybody once more that this is only the BASE MODEL this thing is going to kick so much ass

[mitchellferre]

This video confirms what I initially thought about the C8. I need one !

[jaredp]

Wow. I expected the C-8 to win from a dig cause of the mid-engine, but I thought it would get smoked from a rolling start of 40 MPH with the dodge having 707hp. Very impressive C-8.

[chrisdwyer]

That Vette chassis has much more potential. The hellcat is all ready overwhelmed.

[hpls]

Who else scrolls all the way down for the comment section but forgets it's changed 😕

[BBT]

I like the fact that you guys are putting that C8 up to some real competition.

[ragingskeptic]

This is what I like - videos that skip all the talking and get right to the action. Neither of these cars needs any hype. Either you know, or you don't. Kudos.

[BMWROYAL]

The funny part is the C8 is cheaper lol

[GizmoMaltese]

Me: I think I can finally afford a supercar
