Awesome video!
I second how bored I’m getting waiting for the Z06…. I’m sure it will be amazing though just as the Stingray was and still is.

Towards the end, you mentioned that the Lotus has an eng... Oh, you started the C8R and blipped the throttle. Never mind!

I'm a fan of driving light weight RWD cars too. AWD always feels pushy to me. Keep it simple. I want to drive the car not the car drive me.

Excellent video. Several valid points I hadn’t thought of.

[chevyman]

In my humble opinion there’s NO other car made today that looks better then the Corvette and not just the 2022 but ANY year..I’m not biased I just have a point blank vision….

Great and super informative video as always!

Austin you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

Austin,
Love your approach to the upcoming cars on the C8 platform! I don't have a lot of track experience, but I did track both the Acura NSX and the C8 at Speed Vegas. My track times were better in the NSX, so if GM can add a little weight to the front for overall balance and have some decent front motors, then it should handle/perform really well!

A great assessment as usual, I appreciate your point of view, thank you.

[ronaldsmith]

Great insight and analysis. Very interesting "Geek" or not!

[philmannino]

I’ll stick with the gas powered ones as long as possible

[kareemrichards]

Thanks for furthering my education on the matter. I think the new AWD vette will be a good daily driver especially in any weather condition. Thanks for sharing.

[arlieriefer]

I lived with an A4 Audi Quattro for about 3 years and AWD had handling that let the car punch well above it’s weight! AWD delivers when ever it is applied!

If they film on any surface besides snow they would need a high speed camera to catch the behavior of a Hybrid C8 Corvette AWD.

We got punked by GM. The full EV Corvette WILL BE A SUV WITH A CORVETTE BADGE. Autoline just broke the news. They also explained Ultiums cooling system for constant power.

[msshelby]

Think your right on. Great analysis!!!

[driverbear]

Very well said! Bravo…..a great synopsis!!

[lawrenceh.]

First, GM must keep the Corvette relevant, better cutting edge, as far as technology goes. Second, GM must retain all the driver feedback and experience as they iterate the Corvette. Third, GM must keep the price down for mass market access to the Corvette. I love the Corvette and I had one a long time ago...a 40th Anniversary model. I'm so happy that GM finally went mid-engine. With all that GM does to improve the Corvette, they hopefully will never sacrifice fit and finish, but actually further improve on it. Love your take on the pros & cons of AWD. Right now, I'm very much enjoying my GT350.

Wow! this shows how much we are moving forword!

The E Ray will have mind boggling acceleration, and the Zora will take that awd formula to another level.
