The only guy on YT with a C8 that actually drives it like it was meant to be and hasn’t twin turboed, nitroused, changed the cats, headers, put a bunch of his channel stickers on it, wrapped it, etc...awesome driving too. Keep it coming!

I wish GM would set something up for you like free tires and a truck to take the car around to several tracks around the US...You as of right now are the best salesman for the car! You are the only one showing what the car is capable of! Maybe they can fast track you into a Z06?

"Whoa....you can't even SEE the bottom of it!" That right there is why I LOVE the Corkscrew...except that time I spun in the middle and stopped backwards facing UP the track with cars coming around the corner unsighted right at me...LOL!

When the C8 Zo6, Grand Sport and ZR1 arrive ,they are going to hurt some feelings!! They should be absolute TRACK MONSTERS!!🏁🏁

Soon it won't make sense for companies to spend money on developing internal combustion cars. The c8 is perfection of a technology and I hope they keep making as at it's price and performance it will be great for people wanting an old school gas car. Here's to a long life for the c8.

Great DRIVING (and editing) ! You are going to sell a lot of C8s for Chevy. Keep these coming please.

As usual, the best C8 content on KZread. I watched these videos several times because I enjoy them so much. Much better than some silly cold start. Or loud exhaust. I can’t wait for the Zeos six to come out and I’ll get to play on the track.

Dude, I've wanted to run this track ever since playing it in gran turismo, I'm mad jelly lol Slick driver mods too btw

Great footage Austin, keep up the good work & looking forward to more videos...ride on!

FYI, in the real world where you are not slowing down to 0MPH, a MR car will have better braking and more consistent braking performance than a FR car. Better weight distribution on a MR, the rear brakes end up contributing a lot more.

Another great and entertaining vid my man. Never get tired of watching them. The brakes seem ridiculously capable on that thing and you are certainly not afraid to late brake. I'm by no means a racing guru but I do track a fair bit, couldn't help but notice you are turning in a tad early, I reckon if you tried a later line you would have taken that McLaren. Just my 2 cents anyway

You might be the proud owner of 1 of the few c8's that actually got delivered. We might not see any c8 production until the 2021 model. You might have a rare vette

Your track videos are really entertaining, I don’t care which or your cars you’re driving!

good shit! you lines look cleaner and smoother in this video.

I can imagine the mods you can add to make this C8 even faster around Laguna Seca. Great driving by the way. Love your track contents!

Really nice job out there. You were hustling that thing.

That corkscrew line is admirable, as well as how you handled getting a little squirrelly on the last turn. Excellent work my man!

Bad ASS!! I had a lot of fun just riding along...nice save BTW!!

Nice to share your enjoyment with you. Thank you so much. Wouldn't be nearly so enjoyable if you were cocky. Appreciate the way you are. Good luck. Always watching for more.

Good Job Phenom as always. Are you having fun "YET"!!

Really enjoyable video

Great Job !

Nice save! Cat like reflexes!!

Great video,great driving, I think you have shown today the speed of the C8 is up there with Porsche and McLaren. Second point would be the maintenance on the car, feel free to keep us up to speed on the tyre, brake pads and other costs you encounter. My favorite US trackday channel!

Great Track!!! Great Driving!!!

When you got this one , I recall you mentioning it was a base model. Did not mention the Z51 package. My friend is still waiting for delivery of his , but with CVID19 , he may actually get a 2021, even though his order was placed a while back. Fantastic driving. Thanks for sharing

You are a very good driver! Congrats.

GREAT video and just a small comment I heard from a very fast racer who said that, "Smooth is not necessarily faster, faster is faster." Again great video. HA just now noticed the GT3 RS in your rear view. Awesome.

Would be amazing to see you get your hands on the future C8 Z06 or ZR1. I already feel and can tell you'd turn one of those into an amazing track weapon

Great driving again and the McLaren pushed you to the new level. You outhandled him and out drove him in the corners you just couldnt stay with him on the straights. GREAT DRIVER + GREAT CAR='s GREAT TRACK TIMES

Those up shifts👌🏽👌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽

You've got the touch. How many driving schools have you attended?

Wow! Great performance! It’s amazing how the C8 can hang with such exotics! I rode shotgun in a McLaren 600 LT in the Nurburgring last year and it’s so incredibly fast and agile. But I think that with a simple stg 2 tuning ( remap, exhaust and intake),the C8 can be as fast as the Porsche GT3 RS on the straights! Go get them! The C8 Z06 will probably take more than a year to launch.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was there yesterday for the first time in my Porsche 991.1 what a track holy cow!!! The new C8 is awesome! So so so much car for the dollar. On my short list for next car. Way to go Chevrolet 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good going! Are you on the stock pads, and if so how are they holding up?

wheelin' that thing like a champ! fun factor X10. can't decide what color or trim but making room in the garage for a C8.

great review, good deep braking on some of the corners ! In the beginning you were shifting down to 2nd when you did not have to, allowing the car to stay a gear up keeps the car settled and acts like a TCS out of middle speed corners. Remember fast laps are about shedding a little time off each corner not devastating a single corner or braking point trying to get it all at once.

Everytime i see this race track it brings me back to 1997, playstation, gran turismo, 6 hours on endurance mode 250 laps with the Suzuki Escuedo AWD 660 hp. Beer nuts, mountain dew and Ash "lose control" playing the entire time lmao anyway, really cool vid, you're doing it for real, that'll never happen for me, im jelly❤👍✌

More great track work

You have the best C8 track content. I always look forward to your videos. The C8 didn't have the legs for the other on track rivals, but that's ok. I think next time you should try running more serious track rubber to see what the difference the times would be. Also, if you don't have the front lift, adjust ride height for a better stance.

Wow just image how good the new C8 ZO6 is going to be. That’s things probably going to be a monster on the track

This is just a base model C8 with no engine mods and it does very well with exotic cars 3 to 4 times more its value. I can’t wait to see what the C8 Z06 is going to be capable of.

Yep, Chevrolet really out did themselves with this new Corvette! Thanks!
