True, they all look far better in person. (Ive seen all 4 at the Chicago Auto Show).. But the Stingray might as well not even be related. The Z06/Z07 is on a whole different planet. Wider, WAYYY more aggressive, sexier & and far more gorgeous. The Z06 is what the c8 was always supposed to be. And imo its the better looking car vs the GT. The GT is awesome & more exotic.. But its more sleek & elegant, but I prefer the sharper angles, aggressive body lines/splitter/aero, and the chiseled look of the Z06. And for the price difference, (and the fact the Vette is the do-it-all daily, supercar, track beast), I think its the best car under $250k

GTs are just garage queens at this point. I do feel the c8 z06 are gonna be no exception, the people who can afford them are gonna try to keep them in pristine condition

The production quality of this episode is just unbelieveably good!

As James said, the 458 Speciale is really the metaphorical father of both the C8 Z06 and the GT. In a way, that makes the GT and the Z06 brothers, which to me is a really beautiful thought.

You two gents are good at this. Great video

Those are 2 very special cars. I'd love to see this revisited when the Corvette ZR1 comes out.

ZR1, and the GT MK 4. I doubt they will be able to get their hands on the latter, I don’t know if anyone will for a long time, and they aren’t really in the same class. But still.

Nice quote.

When James was going around the curve with Willow Springs in the background... It just hits you. So well done gents.

We don’t have the C8 Z06 in Australia yet but having tracked the C8 a few times, it’s hugely impressive for a car that can be bought for under $200k (in Oz dollars).

The Z06 is a miracle in an age where V8's are being considered obsolete. It's crazy that this thing even exists. Love the review guys and Merry Christmas!

I’m so incredibly happy you guys got your hand in a new GT. I was cheering so loudly on that drag race. Beautiful job.

you guys make ART, much love from Florida my dudes!

The GT is a race car made street legal. The Z06 is a street car from the ground up. The fact that the Z06 can keep up with the GT at 1/4 the price is amazing. I can’t wait to see what the ZR-1 can do.

They are both beautiful cars. I think the OG GT40 really did a lot for the Vette and Viper in terms of future race endeavors and goals. Much respect to the Corvette, and by default the T-Bird, then the AC/Shelby Cobra to the GT-40 and the Viper. Absolutely the best America had to offer. I wish we would have gotten through GT90.

This new corvette is to the auto industry what the Nissan GTR was back when it was released to the states. For the money it was beating super cars everywhere and it prompted all the car manufacturers to step it up. I say this is a win for all of us regardless of the brand you like, because it’s only going to cause more passion and determination within the car engineering industry. And it will be us who benefit from it all. Awesome vid! 👍🏼

In theory, even if they wont do it, GM can develop a big block pushrod V8 with even more HP than the new Z06. The already sell an aftermarket big block with over 700 HP on pump gas. Another prospect is hybrid power, with an additional 200HP+ to the front wheels.

This was a nice holiday treat. As a Ford GT owner I agree with James said. It really does feel special and the lack of sound deadening in the carbon tub truly makes it feel like a pure racecar for the street. It NEVER gets old. Mine is definitely a keeper. Unlike most owners, I drive it often so I constantly get the thrill they describe in this video. As for the Z06, it's great to see GM out-Ferrari Ferrari's current offerings. It gives me hope that the minority of enthusiasts at GM still have a voice.

I am waiting..... dont say the z06 because its not even close. The truth is what Ferrari ia doing now Gm will do too in some years. U just cannot every year make faster cars with lower emissions without resorting to tt or hybrid, and Ferrari draws inspiration from f1 where these changes have been implemented. One should ask...if the 458 has been benchmarked for the experience amd the gt2 rs for performance why not a single review is comparing the z06 side to side with a turbo s (since the gt2 rs is out of production)? Maybe because it puts down 10s flat for the 1/4mile every single time, let alone winning roll races with ease.

@@j7b890 my man, not everything is about "keeping up". Speed is great, but some cars are bought because of the way they make you feel, not how fast they get you from A to B. NA cars, like the 458, have a FEEL and SOUND to them that forced induction cars to do not. Its why there was such a hissy fit when Porsche originally thought it might stop making the GT3, and why the current GT3's are selling for 2x MSRP. (even higher for the ones that come with a stick shift, which in no way keep up with the performance of the PDKs).

The shots of the Ford were stunning especially loved the shot at 9:16
