@daftcow706 3 роки тому
its called a power slide. drifting is when you use the handbreak to loose traction
@GlassStatus 3 роки тому
@@daftcow706 "a drift starts before the apex, while a powerslide starts after the apex. With a powerslide, you keep things tidy up until you hit the apex. Once there, you put the power down-which, in a rear-drive car with good power, can make the back end step out to varying degrees. In a drift, the slide starts much earlier. Your goal is to induce oversteer going into the corner, not on your way out-sometimes using a clutch kick or a tug on the handbrake to get the car sideways ahead of the apex. Any time you're oversteering before the apex, it's a drift." Doesn't have to be just the handbrake

@vomErsten 3 роки тому
It looks pretty good when you are standing over it and looking at it from the front quarter or the side, but then you walk around to the rear and wonder why they didn't finish designing it. I'm a bit unhappy to hear that this car does not have that raw feeling; this is a sports car, it should not drive like a GT. That aside, the work that went into this car is the work GM needs to put into ALL of their cars.
@ace-lo1nq 3 роки тому
This is an excellent starting point because the gran sport/ Z06 models is where the racing enthusiasts flock too. This model is more of a chill ride have some fun in a relax way. Even the exhaust note is too quiet but easily the best base model corvette in history. Im glad Chevrolet basically took a pdk transmission and outfitted for a c8 which was a great move as its very similar in shifting response

I wish people would stop talking about what a great car this is for the money. This would be a great car at $120,000. My C8 LT3 is so much better than the $140,000 (probably $160,000+ today) 2016 AMG GTS if had. Faster, quieter, smoother, and the interior fit/finish and level of luxury is much more. The GTS was crude in comparison.

yeah Z51 is a must + aggressive alignment; Pretty sad if my nearly stock suspension / slightly stock alignment in my 370z has less under-steer. BEAUTIFUL car though! Saw a white one at the store yesterday, def. grabbed my attention! BTW, the POV videos are nice, but the audio is even better as I have dual subs going, so it's nice to hear the nuances and gives the viewer a better idea of what to expect. Thank you!

The corvette looks beautiful and great for its budget for a super car but i believe the gps map built into the tablet of the car could be a bit more accurate with its refresh rate incase of missing a turn in a place your not to sure of where you are at. Perhaps is just a fast car for the reason of the gps not being able to keep up 🤔

rcf interior will outlast the corvettes, the engines themselves are probably about on par in regards to reliability. tq converter gearbox on the rcf is likely to be more reliable and definitely cheaper to maintain than the dual clutch on the c8 down the line. c8 is far faster in nearly every aspect. rcf is better built, engine is a lot more modern and sounds quite a bit better imo. it really comes down to what you would rather live with, a chevy or a toyota? at the price ithe lc500 is a good option too, and will be worth quite a bit more than the vette down the line.
