.............................................................
It’s time for another first for Mat and the carwow team - We’ve got our hands on a Corvette! But it’s not just any Corvette… It’s the all-new Corvette C8, and it’s the first mid-engine Corvette since the original model was released back in 1953!
It was first revealed back in Summer 2019, and when you look at the specs, it’s no surprise we’ve been dying to get our hands on one! With a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8, the Corvette will be able to put down 496hp and 637Nm!
Sounds pretty good, right? But that’s not all… It’ll only cost $62,000 - less than an AMG A45 S!! So what do you think - is this all-new sports car worth the ‘cheap’ price? Keep watching to find out!
Thanks to Clive Sutton for lending us the Corvette for this review - www.clivesutton.co.uk/

Lots of misconceptions and misinformation going on here. Here's the facts: 1. The car tested had less than 500 miles 2. C8s under 500 miles are still in the "break-in" period 3. While in "break-in," torque is electronically reduced by up to 30 percent in 1st and 2nd gear. Launch control does not override this. 4. The break-in period is not the same as limp mode. 5. Also while in "break-in," the visual redline of the tach is reduced. However, there is no reduced hard rev limiter, you can rev all the way to 6600rpms Due mostly to #3 above, it is pointless to record 0-60 times before 500 miles. You are not getting full torque in 1st and 2nd gear. Keep calm and carry on.

American 0-60 numbers are often lower because of some inches of distance before starting the actual measurement to get the car rolling. Not a rolling start but enough to reduce the measured times drastically.

I have a C8, 0-60 in less than 3 on the street is extremely difficult, I have measured countless times with a Dragy box. I'm guessing under 3 with a one foot rollout, mine is not a convertible and Dyno'd 17bhp than advertised. It's a phenomenal car for the price, so so cheap for what you get.

It can do a faster 0-60 but only after the 500 miles beak in, I was complaining to the dealer about it, so they informed me after the 500 miles break in the torque will be increased by 30%, so yes indeed it can reach sub 3 secs preferably not in bad roads, so check after the 500 miles initial break in period then try better roads "cleaner roads" good luck 🤞

It’s noticeable carwow obsess over drag races with increasingly ridiculous grinning and fake laughter.
