Does this count as a clickbait? Pls tell me!

Phew... I was expecting a money shift.

The "no money" missed shift! You could tell the owner was enjoying himself, he was alternating between the "omg we're going to die!" and "this is amazing, how are we managing to remain on the road at these speeds?" look. Great lap and a really nice, well-sorted car!

Congrats for confidently "having made it", Misha. Subs skyrocketing, total channel views going up like 10 million every what, 2 weeks? 100% deserved. I wish it could go on forever, and already dread the moment you'll decide to "settle down" 😭 But at the same time I (we all I think) appreciate what we have right now. Awesome car with sensible mods. Big props to the owner! And awesome lap / driving Misha (as always 😃)!

I really want to see Misha's reaction to the C8 ZO6. If anyone who is watching wants to let Misha drive one, please do! I'm sure they are a rare sighting just like any Corvette in Europe.

These are ridiculously capable cars with the proper suspension and brake upgrades. Heck, even stock ain't that bad.

The emotional rollercoaster of the owner's face was priceless! 😄 You could tell he was torn between "Should I start drafting my will?" and "This is the greatest day of my life!" Also, kudos for defying the laws of physics with your driving. About that 'missed shift,' let's just call it a 'calculated risk,' shall we? 😅

I love the c7,GM nailed it perfectly.Minor correction;this engine is an LT, not an LS.Other than that,fantastic driving as usual.

The C7 is my favorite Corvette. Love the design, beautiful, aerodinamic, 7 speed Manual transmission. Love it!

Fun fact for you, the C7 actually has a slight rear weight bias, thanks to its transaxle layout and surprisingly light engine. As for the gears, it wouldn't surprise me if 4th was that long to help with the 1/4 mile time, though it seems more likely that it's just as short as they could make it while keeping the drop to 5th manageable. With the C6, you hit top speed in 5th, so it might be the same here, just with an extra overdrive gear in between.

This is the only channel that I never miss a single video, and I can say it worth it 100%, congratulations Misha, you deserve the best! Btw: Always nice to see those american cars at nurburgring showing that they are capable!

Now THAT is a properly setup Vette. Too many owners here in the states turn these cars into chromed out garbage bags that spend more time parked than being driven. Well done to the owner and great drive Misha. 🤘

The gear box is like never ending 🤣 almost 260 in 4th damn, that's impressive, Nice lap Misha ;) i was expecting money shift but hopefully it's not phews.

Sold my C7 a few months ago to make room for my G87 because I need back seats. Miss that car so much. An absolutely incredible driving experience and a bargain here in the states. Great sound, great torque, nice shift feel. A proper front-engine rear drive sports car.

Man this car is amazing, even at low RPM it was pushing very hard and you could barely feel the speeds, at some point it felt like you were going at 100km/h but you were above 200.

passenger was legit terrified. funny how the corvette is deemed as hard to drive but seems controlled compared to the lambo

Wow, that is next level. So fast and composed and seems so chilled while doing it. The gear ratios are moonshot! It makes the car seem almost gutless until you look at the speed at realise the speed is so high for the revs.

started watching this king 4-5 weeks ago, life has been better since...

Man I love the small block sound!! Great driving, never see these cars driven like this (how their supposed to be) here in the US!:(

Long gearing is mainly for it to pass emissions. But it’s easily fixable by changing the final drive ratio to something like a 4.10 instead of 3.90, which this comes in.

Loved to see this ride! Especially after the Lambo video. Uncle Sam does a good job with these Vette’s 👌

3000 rpm at 250 km/h? Sick!

This thing is crazy sharp, probably my favorite out of any other Vet you've posted. The engine sound is sex to the ears!

Reverse money shift if thats a thing🤭 I'd say better to miss into a higher gear than lower .

It's amazing how a pushrod V8 can sound so exotic. For such a low revving engine, it sounds like its revving to 7, 8 or 9,000 rpm not 6. TORQUE everywhere, low center of gravity with no cams on top of the engine... just a wonderful motor.

love seeing your content man! it does put a smile on my face. keep it up man I hope to be there in the Nürburgring one day!

Your ability to drive every style of car is so awesome!

I was worried for a sec(thought u shifted it to REVERSE 💀😂)

What an amazing experience 😊❤ I was always curious how these cars handle. Thank you for the video 💯

That tachometer is very cool, I love that it briefly leaves a faint blue line to show where you lifted or shifted gears.

I think one of the most entertaining things about you doing laps in people's cars is that, most of them don't "know" the ring turn by turn so you can see it on their face in blind corners that they're scared. I LOVE IT!!

Been watching your videos a ton lately, amazing content Misha!

I owned a C7 G.S. 7 Speed. I have made that mistake many times. Actually, it's a very difficult manual to row, consistently!

Was looking for a c7 video on this channel just recently, nice to see

I'm a new subscriber. I'm amazed how Misha can hop into a car he's never seen before and crank out unbelievable laps at the ring. A true test for any sports car. Much continued success Misha! 👍🏁

this videos make my morning each day. THANK YOU MISHA!

Great car and good, mild mods. Nice owner! He must be a legend in his country with such a unique car.

I daily drive 2019 C7 Grand Sport. It's absolutely amazing. Every morning is a special event.

A great video mate love your honesty about the cars with flaws and design compromises. As being relatively new to your channel I’m wondering how many laps have you driven of the ring?

You could be in a Geo Metro and still be passing people on the left. Impressive driving good sir.

Great video! As a Canadian I love seeing you drive American cars especially corvettes as they're great platforms.

Love it! Weird gear ratios as said! 4th is super long in particular.

I'm glad the issue of cooling is finally being addressed. Most people just slap on 2 million boosted horsepower and scratch their head when the rear end gears melt and oil sprays all over the track. Keep it cool and you can do more.

Misha i binge watched almost every video and every car but i couldn't find a single one with a Koenigsegg its one of my favourite cars especially the agera r if you can ever do a lap or even go along as passenger that would be an epic video

I look forward to the daily video, appreciate the contant effort and quality is amazing for everyday content. Big respect Pray you keep making content for ever and always 😂

"We can brake tomorrow and the car will stop yesterday." Impressive! I worked for a company that build automated factory equipment. I still remember the gauge cluster programming and test station we built that would watch 40 or 50 at a time to ensure the screens had no dead pixels or other faults. Just before shipping we got the final software for the gauges. When that Corvette logo appeared for the first time, we were all very surprised! We went on to make a bunch of machines for different parts of the interior, hood, the grille, etc. It was usually kinda hard to tell what vehicle stuff was for because there are so many supplier companies...except Ford. You always knew a Ford because there would be design changes every other week and then it was a mad dash to get the machines installed at the factory. Stuff for the Transit vans were in a state of build, scrap and remachine parts for a new design and repeat for 3 years. For the S550 mustang, they had to send workers to run production on our assembly floor to complete press and car show vehicles and for the Fiesta, one of our project managers wound up running the machine to assemble a bunch of bumpers which I, the purchasing, shipping and receiving agent, had to drive 8.5 hours to Canada to run some cars! 😂😂

The owner is the coolest guy ever!

I mention your name to coworkers, everybody loves watching your skill and knowledge no matter the vehicle. So fun to watch. Like a video game but real life.

When misha drives the track looks like a video game ❤

Awesome video. The C7's are absolute weapons with the magnetic suspension if optioned, tires and pads/fluid and can keep up with basically anything in it's class if not pass them.

Спасибо, Миша, за Ваши видео. Всегда смотрю с удовольствием. Надеюсь как-нибудь приехать и прокатиться вместе с Вами)Удачи и всех благ!

As an Ex Corvette owner I‘m really happy to see one, please more of them 👍

What an Emotion The Melodic Full Sound of this Fantastic 🔥C7 Vette🔥...this is called Pure V8 sound🇺🇸😍...as always Great MISHA 👏

American Muscle 🇺🇸🦅💪🏼

Brilliant drive and car. Unfortunately witnessed this crash probably not long after your video.

Best Vette ever IMO, the C7.... this one is perfect, great color combination, great supporting mods.... just needs a shorter final drive gearing (at least a 3.90 if not 4.10 compared to the stock, if Z51 package equipped, 3.42 with manual) and definitely a higher lift and duration camshaft....its so easy to gain an easy 100hp and shift the powerband up 1k RPM with a decent cam(and then a remap to lift the rev limiter higher to make use of the cam, could also grab a Fast intake and 103mm throttle body to round it out), hopefully these two are on his list for next upgrades.... awesome Vette otherwise 👌

handles super how it looks like it goes realy safe and superfast in corners like on rails

Sounds sooo good!

mishas foot work is incredible

Love the corvette content!

I love this car. So beautiful and so good sounding😊

Chevy makes interesting choices with gear ratios sometimes. Not really a sports car but I have an express van 5.3 and there’s so little torque in third gear it loses speed while towing up a gentle hill at highway speeds and requires a downshift to second. weird choices for vehicles where power delivery is desired/needed.

Finally a C7 Video! Misha see if you can find a C7 Z06 to try out. Tighter ratios in the gearbox and more power, so you avoid that drop in torque between 3-4 shifts. This was a huge factor in why I didn’t opt for the C7 grand sport, despite its NA engine and lighter weight being better suited to track duty. Cheers carmrade

always love a vette video! the gearing in these cars truly is insane, top of 2nd gear in my c6 is almost 90 mph. great for getting 30mpg out of it lol. the C7 automatic has better gearing but not the C6's and they're meh torque converter autos until you get to the C8. ideally you'd get an RPM transmission with ZR1 ratios and 4.10s but that's a lot of money and work

Love the C7. Had one in Z51 trim and 8 speed auto with the hopes the transmission would be a bit as good as the ZF units, but it was a disappointment. It worked great on upshits at WOT, but downshifts were slow and it overall sucked for daily driving. I really wish they would've gone with the 6MT instead of the odd 7 speed. Overall an amazing car that didn't get the best transmission choices.

The look on his face when you said the lap could have been more spicy - oh no no no 😨 - was hilarious 😂

I knew it was gonna be 4th to 7th once I saw the Corvette 😂😂😂

Fantastic car and driving Misha. The car has the same problem like my CTS-V has. The oil temp is getting really high.

Man I love this channel.

That 4-7 rpm drop was brutal! Just like a 3-4 of a 4L60E with 2.73 final ratio.😂

Curious, did you change the stabilization settings on the main GoPro? Seems like it was more wobbly than usual... Still amazing content though! :)

For me the "base" C7 is the most beautiful of all the corvettes to date, the red/black color combo makes it perfect. Switching to a rear-mid-engine layout with the C8 might have been a good decision regarding performance, but at the cost of giving up perfect proportions.

Amazing how you managed the breaking with your left foot . Everytime I tried it, I landed in the windshield 😂

Such a beautiful and well mannered car! Would love to see you get your hands on a C7 Z06 or ZR1!

Thank you Misha for running the C7. Super cool, Over here in the states the Corvette is king, but I know the Vettes are very well respected in Germany as well I lived in Germany for many years and i go back and forth between Porsche and Corvettes, and I love them both and i am always torn between the two. But please more Corvettes are welcome so keep em coming and drive em like ya stole em... Faaaaasssssst!

How did you downshift near beginning of lap without bliping the throttle?

GM suspension engineers are one of the best!

Finally I’ve been waiting for you to drive a C7 🎉🎉🎉

I forgot C7 has auto rev match …. For a moment I assumed you’re so good that you made it happen telepathically!! Seemed to be functioning smoothly.

I love this channel allways great content allways so authentic and by the way what a amazing car HP below 500 was it ? and still the way it accelerates is so impressive

The owner looks precisely as “I am a little bit into martial arts by myself…” guy from “ Shang Chi”. Just this one is a little bit in Corvette 😂

One of my cars is a C7GS 7MT. Love it but I have the same complaint on the gearing. IMO I’d length 1st gear and shorten the rest. Then leave 7th for the highway.

nice vid, need a C8 Z06 with Z07 pack next please 🙏

Very nice and fast stable car ... like it - it has a lot of emotions and the owner really enjoyed it 🙂

Your footwork and miss shift reminds me of the Dire Straits song The Bug...'Standing on the throttle, Standing on the brake, in the groove till you make a mistake. ' 🙂🇦🇺

This guy looks like a system administrator in every company. Ours is the same, but he drives a VW Lupo 😄 Congrat on this wonderful car, you are amazing! 👍

I noticed when you're downshifting you don't have to press the gas pedal with this car. That's a genius option to have👍

The C7s with the PD blowers solve the long gearing with torque. The NA cars enjoy a shorter rear end. My V8 swapped RX7 had the 4.10 and it was awesome.

Genuine question: do people have to sign a waiver with you before you drive their cars?

I would absolutely love to see you drive a C6 Z06. Best all around Vette IMO.

Save the manual folks Red looks awesome on a corvette

That accelerater tap you did before changing gear which disturbed you. And it was the first time doing it since the lap started

Misha, you should start a "track score" chart....kinda like the "doug score."

Great car, great drive, chill owner. Fantastic

Misha, drive a Grand Sport or Z06 / wide body, even better! Also 4th gear is 1:1, very tall gearbox yes like you say but all you really need. Like having one cam shaft! Simple is better. Quantity has a quality of all its own, and that's a winning strategy right? You'll love it.

Sounds glorious 😈😈😈😂🤣🤣 props to the owner eyes on the road 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Definitely would like to see you do some laps with a C7 Z06

I'm glad Im not the only one that has though gm's gear spacing is backward. They've been doing that since the c5 zo6. The bace model first 4 gears were actually better spaced.

“Little red Corvette” 🎶

I have a sweet spot for c6's specially the ZR1, so when it comes to vette's only the c6 comes to my mind lol.. But this one in my opinion is great! Also very surprised about the manual gearbox as I was expecting dual clutch
