Just loved how the people move to the right for faster traffic.. God I wish America would follow that model on our highway. 160mph during the day! In traffic.. safe clear distance from cars in front of you.. seriously love that!
Most American drivers get their licenses from K Mart.
Been there... the Germans know a few things about driving etiquette.
@@audieconrad8995 until you realise that alot of times people dont care about them and stick to the left anyway
It's the law.
American highway is dangerous to drive over 100mph tho.. road surface is ..😬😬
That exhaust note. Superb.
And the lane discipline there is so freaking awesome.
I'd have to agree!. Here in the states I think they're filing their nails in the left lane. Move the F over, Ilike my 85+ mph, 140 kph on Texas roads.
Just saying...
Great video.
yeah, in Cali at least, maybe other states, it is illegal to drive in the fast lane if passing but nobody enforces it.
Just imagine an electronic Corvette
Can't wait for the C8 Z06 to hit the autobahn
And ZR1 after it comes out. Also looking forward to cars from other brands such as Ferrari 296GTB, Mclaren Artura and Lamborghini Revuelto
Yeah!! Can't wait to see it
Me too but with very high downforce and aero dont expect high topspeed
old zr1 is much faster in a straight line
Same here!
I've watched so many of these videos and it's impressive how stable and controlled this felt in the Corvette.
Damn ugly color though makes it look cheap compared to a GT3
I've heard sterile too
Mag ride is king!
Funny, it actually looked unstable to me
@@kalgstol yeah moved around a bit at speed, I thought so to.
What a car! With AMG and other manufacturers moving to 4 banger hybrids, I'm glad GM is still making glorious V8 sports cars.
With pushrods to boot! Can't beat the low end torque of a pushrod V8. That flat plane crank sound is bad ass.
Not for long in the direction we're heading.
Well, they finally ditched a manual transmission option. It would have been nice to still have a manual transmission as an option.
@William Arrington I realize manual transmissions are slower these days, not in the old days. But the fun of a manual transmission is hard to beat.
@William Arrington I enjoyed my modified 6 speed manual 94 Supra. I definitely didn't want an auto transmission. You might be younger than me, I'm 51 and car guys wanted manual transmissions. Now if I wanted to win a race I'd go with these new transmissions. Other manual cars that I owned where a 1991 Trans Am, and I think it was 1991 for a Camaro, 1993 Mustang 5.0. A 1998change the cluth in an hour Mustang, 94 Supra and a fuel sipping VW Jetta TDI. It was the thing to own back then. Not so much these days. The new performance cars with auto transmissions are quite a bit faster. I used to work on my own cars from the late 80's until about 10 years ago. I burned out the clutch on my supercharged Mustang so many times, that I could put the car on a lift and change the clutch and flywheel in about an hour. New Mustangs are crazy powerful compared to the Mustangs back then.
The autobahns are so well maintained, it is crazy. This type of driving would not be possible if the roads were bad. Credit also goes to other drivers who are mindful of such cars and don't hog the fast lane like it happens in the US. Great video and a very cool car!
finally a C8 in the channel. I like the interior with yellow stitching
Yellow stiching with a blue car?? Those colors really clash!
@@stevesmith6236 I don't remember saying I liked the color of the car, I just liked the black interior with carbon fiber and yellow stitching
@@Luke-cb3ly So, you think the bright yellow accents work well with a bright blue car?
@@stevesmith6236 why do people like to make things difficult? no, I don't like the color and I didn't mention the color. I just talked about the interior, at no point did I say it goes well with blue, just that the interior with yellow stitching is nice. stop assuming things, I'm just talking about the inside of the car, I don't care if it matches the outside color or not, because that's beside the point
@@stevesmith6236 In the C8 Vettes, the buyer chooses what color combination they want right down to the seat belts.
2:14 it kicked down from 8th to 3rd almost instantly! what an insane car!
The C6 ZO6 runs 320+ km/h on the autobahn, the C6 ZR1 330 km/h - limited by 5.500 rpm of 6.400. Imagine how fast the ZR1 really is without limiter !! Greetings from Germany.
DAMN HE ONLY GOT AS FAST AS A CRUISE IN MY BIMMER.. 268KM/H (SLIGHT DOWNGRADE TO BEAT 265, 275 ON DASH MINUS 7 MY AVERAGE FOR DIFFERENCE). FRESH PREP FOR TRACK, TEST RUN. PERFECT WEATHER, HOT TIRES. STOCK. N55 MSPORT SUV 😂 SMOOTH AF)
@@MurderBong cool story kid.
Jack Speed Imagine that it would be the same speed. What vehicle redlines at top speed? None, because it would be a stupid design. Overdrive (highest gear) is meant to get better gas mileage and a quieter ride when cruising. In other words it is geared higher than the power of the engine can reach max RPM. You can't just keep adding higher gears and go faster than the HP can supply. Top gear is purposely limited in RPM, limited by the power of the engine.
@@gordthor5351 On a long straight highway with a tail wind, wouldn't the car go faster without the limiter?
@@raconteur5195 Considering that the RPM limiter is a gear ratio higher than the motor has power to reach max RPM, the opposite would be true. If we assume a car has 5 gears and it was designed to redline in 4th gear at max speed (flat ground and no wind), then it can't go any faster down hill or with a tailwind. 5th gear would be able to go considerably faster downhill or with a tailwind, because it still has more RPM in the bank. Thus it can take advantage of the added power from gravity, or wind.
Everything is a trade off with gearing and HP, so it's up to the driver to use the most optimum gear for the current situation.
i love american cars - but the c8 really has the first interior that is on european level in design and finish/quality.
Good Job.
Idk about that😂 you probably just haven’t seen enough American cars and looks and actually being inside of them is 2 different things.
@@diangelo6686 i have, and OP is right...
It may not be as sophisticated and exotic as the Z06, but I still love the sound of the old pushrod Chev small block revving.
Oh contra my friend.
@@advicemaster1365 huh?
Sounds beautiful and it's been Chevrolet's iconic sound for decades, can't replace it.
LT4 would do wonders for this car's top end power though.
I thought the new Vette came with the 5.5 dual overhead cam engine , or can you still get the pushrod engine also .
There are 3 versions of the C8...
The base C8 has an LT1 pushrod 6.2l with OHV heads you'll find in the C7 or the Camaro SS with power bumped from 455 to 495hp.
While the C8 Z-06 uses a flat-plane crank dual throttle body DOHC 5.5l with 670hp.
While latest C8 E-Ray has the widebody of the Z-06 minus the spoiler with the same 495hp Small Block the base C8 has plus a 160hp battery for the front axles for a total of 655hp with AWD.
Hope this helps.
I lived in Germany for several years, and bought a new ‘85 Vette during those years. I topped out at 155mph, which was scary in that vehicle…140 or less and it was pretty solid. But what a great Autobahn car it was! Thanks for posting this video!
Compared to Porsche American cars are rubbish 😂😂
@@pleun315 Complete BS, Corvette's can hang with any 911.
@@ryanl1782 shure........
911 looks like a VW bug with a wing. Hideous design.
I took a ‘94 Vette down the back straight at Sebring at 130mph during an open track day and thought it was about to blow apart. Boy have Vettes improved since then.
That C8 is smooth at 250kph, like butter. 🤩🤩🤩
It always makes me want to stand up and cheer. I'm so glad Chevrolet put the engineers in charge for the most part, but everyone on the Corvette Team should be proud of all the work, from the interior to the hair-raising sound of that big V8. It's an honest-to-God supercar right off the showroom floor that your grandmother could drive to the bakery while you go autocrossing on the weekend. And your local Chevy dealer can service it. I grew up (teenage years) in the 80s and I remember how incredible the 1984 Corvette seemed at the time. It couldn't hold a candle to this machine. It's really one of the few bright spots in America over the past several years and I salute everyone involved with it.
You summed it up perfectly. It's a Ferrari at a 3rd of the price. WHAT A CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was surprisingly awesome. Good pov perspective and gauges shown 👍 love corvettes
I rented one of these C8s for 3 days in California. It is a F##$ awesome car. That happened one year ago and I still can't stop smiling when I think about it. I can only hope that I will legit own one some day in the future.
Got used 2023 HTC 2LT Z51 about 2 months ago and can't stop driving it. 😁
You better get one before you retire, or you never will.
I remember being stationed in Germany while in the Army. First got there in 2002. Had a red 1987 firebird 😆 shipped there from home. It was nothing compared to what's out now, but back then man it was so fun to just go rip it on the Autobahn as a 23 year old kid lol
Went 170mph on the autobahn a few years ago was definitely crazy doing it legally
LOVED the video! Drove in Germany last summer and the Fast lane is the FAST LANE, I absolutely loved it!!! In town the restrictions are crazy 3 small tickets in 1 Week!
The cockpit is Awesome !
No, it itsn't, dude!
The Corvette "cockpit" is already outdated bullshit design, period!
Vette ➡️🔥
How fun this looks. I've driven on the autobahn but I had a $500 car that maxed out at 100 km. So I was always in the far right lane.
Terrific transmission in the C8. Doesn't need to hang out in a low gear when you're in and out of throttle. It can shift so quick by the time you mash the pedal it's already downshifted and ready to go.
Right until the transmission completely breaks. They have a serious transmission problem.
ah, so you really do get the "exotic car" experience with this. Terrific. @@tbrown965
@@tbrown965 I would assume with the cranky responses and timing it would break quickly, I never understood not allowing customers to choose between manual and automatic, I would hate to pay a fortune for a super car with no manual transmission, where's the fun?
Terrific transmission 😂...many are breaking with low miles, class action lawsuit in the works.... Its the Alibaba Lambo 😂
I love your videos keep it up!
Too bad there was a lot of traffic when you were trying to ring out this C8, thanks for doing these videos
It's awesome people there still consider this "a lot of traffic", makes me very hopeful for the future.
That is crazy insane speeds with that vehicle. You have to be a very trusting driver that no one in the right lanes decides to get in your lane to pass someone.
@@Jesus_is_Truthon the autobahn it’s normal to leave the left lane open and check for people hauling ass. The risk is still there but way less than in countries such as America.
Absolutely. Can you imagine doing 180mph on I -95? It probably would not end well. Even if it were legal. People over there take their driving very seriously. @@bawhbeeuhveenee
I lived there for 14 years and it still amazes me how fast you can go. Get in the left lane and flash those light. They get out of your way
I love how people move out so quickly here in Italy too, you can go fast without minding the idiots on the road!
@@filgiupo4853 Dude, in Italy there are rather loww speed limits on the Autostrada. At least there were about 6 days go. When I was on two of them. Why, did they lift the speedl limits in Italia? So now you can go at 400 KPH and not have to worry about getting a fine? Great.
It's the law.
@@frankfarago2825 the thing is that, yes the speed limit is low, but the auto velox are not many, at least one every 20 or some kilometes
In America somebody would be running 60 mph in left lane 100%
Beautiful video. Felt like I was behind the wheel.. Thanks for posting
That exhaust note. Superb.
I can count the fps on that speedometer lmao
I noticed that too :) but they had to keep the price down somehow.
@@audriusbaranauskas6227 If they cheaped out on the visible stuff, just imagine what they cheaped out on the stuff you can't see....
Dude it’s a screen. What is this even supposed to mean?
@@audriusbaranauskas6227 bro wtf it would cost like 1 euro more to give this a normal refresh rate
Just bring back old tachos
When I was in the army in the early 80's stationed with the 11th ACR in Fulda, Germany, I used to drive to Frankfurt on the A66 at 160 kmh. But even at that speed I'd get passed like I was half steppin by low flying Mercedes! Ah, those were the days!
Was right down the road in Hanau. I know the highway, my favorite was south out of Frankfurt to Darmstadt.
great soundtrack. cool car. thanks!
Have to love those sounds!
What a beautiful car and colour.
pushin it to the max
Woooooooow!! Many thnaks for this video!!! the Beast in action!!! 😃😃😃😃😃👍💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you that was very nice.
Gorgeous C8!!! The best color too (Rapid Blue). Man that car is FAST. I saw 266 km/hr at one point. That Vette didn't even break a sweat.💙✌🏻🇺🇸
That's 166.25 mph
That is absolutely not the best color my friends are in the Corvette club that's not a top color
@@thomasvelazquez9789 who cares about your friends club? Nobody.
@@thomasvelazquez9789wow thats so cringe
Wow thanks for sharing. Looked like the car was being buffeted at high speed but was so stable, no steering inputs needed. Love the looks, sound and performance of this car. Baseline model does 26mpg and at $79k thats a supercar with an SUV pricetag you can drive to work.
really? seemed like it needs tons of inputs and looked unstable tbh
@@hkfan4596looked stable at 160 mph to me tbh. Especially for a 80K car
Sounds so good!
no talk what we need nice video bro
Hele vette video zoals altijd Max !! ❤❤
Zeker ! Maar voor een sportwagen met een v8 is dit niet echt iets bijzonders 😂
One of my favourite cars 😮❤
Great video now let us see the full POV experience! explained in detail!
Early Sunday morning much less traffic. The 5 is a good one to try this car on 😊
This dude can drive, I'll tell you that. 165mph is fast on a track, on a highway its crazy. One wrong move by any of the vehicles and there will be blue Corvette pieces for over a mile.
165 km/h
266 km/h is 165 mph.
Most cars this channel takes on the Autobahn travel much faster than this Chevy.
As an American who regularly has to suffer the tragedy that is I95, this makes me so jealous. Conscientious, courteous, aware drivers who KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS!
I feel your pain man.
They only go out of your way when you have a fast car, but they sure don't get out of the way when you just have a regular car.
I have a sprinter van and i drive 140kmh with it and i have to "push" those left lane tourist to the right all the time, so it's not that
great when there's alot of trafic. And keep right as much as possible is a basic rule here in europe, so you may only drive on the left lanes to overtake, and when you're done you must keep right again, but alot of people wipe their azz with that rule and drive like americans, so in a lane that suits them best and don't give a damn who's behind them. And it's also not alowed to overtake on the right, so when a sucker doesn't move to the right, then you just have to wait until he does, and they never get fined for that is the most worse part, because the cops don't see it as a priority.
@@ronniedoorzon1576 Is it true that you have to get certified on your license to drive on the Autobahn? Or just the unrestricted speed section? Cheers from Syracuse, NY Bob
@@rvnmedic1968 No, everyone with a normal license may drive on the autobahn. It's just a normal highway, only with alot of pieces where there's no speedlimit.
Try I695 in Maryland after 11pm on a weekend. It's just like Talladega.
Love the sound of that V8
Nice performance and nice driving.
Good to see some corners !
I own one 2022 convertible and for the price, the car is really amazing!!!
What price?
@@totalsuper4169 $100k in USA
When I lived in Frankfurt many years ago I had a C6 and it was awesome on the Autobahns, but the French loved the left lane. LOL. Thumbs up and stay safe.
Lol, that audi at 1:30 is like: "Are you gonna pass or what? I'm late"
Much slower than expected, a Porsche 911 turbo reach 335km/h or 207 miles/h and feels stable on the road still!
Great comparison, award of the year for you ! The P-car is only 3 times as much
in cost, it better be faster. I would take a Turbo any day over a C8 if cost is the same, but it is not. There are dozens of people that can afford a C8 as compared to one that can buy a Turbo, C8 within reach of many more, to enjoy an amazing car. Most idiotic comparison ever….
Niceee now its turn to the Z06🚀🚀
Ahh, Sunday morning drives on the Autobahn, I miss them, even with a '90 Ford Scorpio
Sounds GLORIOUS
The speedo frame rate is ridiculous. How could anyone in charge accept it as it is?
Why
@@dbzviper rewatch the video with open eyes, the speedo has like 15 fps
@@dbzviper for a super car every single digit should be viewed. Not skipping around as it is here.

Really nice Vette! 💪
American V8 sound ❤️❤️
At least we can do one this right lol
Definitely sounds better from the outside
That fake engine noise lol
@@EJleon96 Bruh what
@@wravager it literally has fake engine noise lol it’s a thing nowadays for a lot of car companies, sounds terrible
@@EJleon96 I have a C8, sounds perfectly fine to me 🤨
The Z06 sounds way better
That looks to be pure joy
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while.
i am hugely impressed, i must say. this is one of the most unreal car vids i have ever seen. very futuristic, i got the feeling - because of how fast you went from zero to ... what seemed like light speed (sticking with the futuristic theme), to a speed which was the max for the autobahn - which is basically the max for planet earth. ... anyways, yeah - super impressed. way to represent American muscle.
P.S. I hope you were respectful to BMW's :P
That is the A3 from Frankfurt to Würzburg, there are some really nice sections on it but seems like he took a busy day...
Holidays/ Easter perhaps...
Especially between Frankfurt Flughafen and Aschaffenburg
That stereo sounds amazing
American muscle! A thing of beauty.
If I was on the Autobahn and a C8 flew by me at 170 I'd be saying "That was badass!". The best bang for your buck and glad the Germans appreciate that. You could buy 3 C8's for the price of a Ferrari and have 2 left overs in case you wreck the 1st one getting used to it, lol. The American roadways and the left lane campers would make this car not as much fun to drive.
It really just goes to show you how overpriced Ferrari's really are. Waaaay overpriced. I'll pass and get the Vette. Won't cost $10,000 to have the brakes replaced too. :)
Can’t wait them driving C8 Z06 on autobahn 🎉
Very impressive
That beautiful v8 sound now thats the sound of a big v8 that pulls hard
This is the V8 sound!
thank you Cpt Obvious
Will there be a 18-20 minute review on this anytime soon?
Nope. A 8.17 minute review.
Wow that took no time , sweet ride.
Nice launch
It's a good thing Germans are so well disciplined....
My son drove this car earlier this year at a GMAC Finance Conference at the Charlotte Motor Speedway .. Said it was amazing !!
250 KHM 155. 38 my 4 cyl Jetta would go 145 mph had to back down thought it would come off the ground!
The screen are so laggy, they can make it better. Cmon Chevy
Still better than in c7
I’ve got the 2023 C8 HTC Z51 and can regularly get under 3.2 sec 0-60 using launch control. If I don’t use launch control it takes about 3.4 to 3.6 seconds. Best thing about this car is the chassis and mag ride suspension. I’ve had several BMW M cars over the years and none of them are as sophisticated in the chassis/suspension department. I wouldn’t mind dropping the BMW S58 engine into my C8 though. That would be sweet!
Literally just picked mine up today. Same exact car as you! Too bad he only gets the detuned one in Europe 😅
on warm tires and a good surface you can get that below 3 seconds. I've seen as low as 2.4 at the strip

Definitely modified. @@dcsteve7869
I love the "left lane campers" comment. So true in the good old USA. LOL.
So relaxing... I didn't see ONE pothole. On the road or driving on the road....
BTW, I'm telling your dad you posted another video of you driving in his vette Luke!
Like the way he keeps his distance from cars ahead. Not like some aho' tailgaters we get here.
This is the reason I love European cars.
ik geef je volkomen gelijk
Lol why?
Si bo me equivoco es estadounidense
Love all of the random wagons in the background; we don't see that here in TX 🤩
Wow that’s really moving for us in the USA that was about 165 mph pretty fast looked like was handling great too
Just out for a 165mph run real quick. Be home soon!!!!
That car makes my pants tight!!
... then you'll lose it if you tried out my GT-R.
Would love to see the 2018 Dodge Demon on the Autobahn
The Demon's gearing is very low, the only dodge that breaks 200 MPH is the hellcat redeye and the viper
I've owned each of these. You're wrong. Neither would hit 200MPH. Viper was good for 180 max. Learn before you post.
Stunning colour.
I love that the C8 has a DCT, fast shifts every time 👍
a 6.2L os struggling like that after 250 km/h ? What
European restrictions
@@billbmsn only opf and 10hp less. It should be faster than that with that big engine.
You had me snapping my neck with this angle.
Yeahh! After the start on the autobahn entry, the Audi thought it would overtake you in the inside lane. Then came the surprise.:D
Audi was clearly just giving space for him to pull out.
@@nomansland120 In this case, he did a great job👍
Talking about putting a speed limit on all highways in Germany is like talking about getting rid of the second amendment in America.
Atleast the arguments for a speed limit on the Autobahn are all fake and lies. There is zero benefit of getting a tempolimit.
Both are considered freedoms but one has real consequences while the other is already happening in literally every country that has roads regardless of speeds allowed.
They're kind of the same but they really aren't.
Love the wheel
Loved the interiors, with this vehicle I have the confidence of going over 200 excellent braking ability, I won't dare above 140 generally
Not much grunt after 200kph it seems
Not much grunt anywhere..
@@MyRealName I'm not sure how a car with 495 hp peak, and peak torque of 470 ft lbs with a very flat torque band stretching all the way to idle can be considered "not much grunt anywhere" 😆, but I guess its all relative.
@@lorddoosworth8175 Have you been watching this channel :D
@@lorddoosworth8175 Those numbers sound solid but the resulting performance is a lackluster and in modern standards this is not much grunt.

Not such a great value for money in Europe. I mean an M340i with a tune is quicker
Yeah,yeah,yeah……
My goat 🐐 could be faster than a horse 🐴 if “tinned”.
Whatever, dude…..
The exhaust note alone is worth the $$$. Nice driving you lucky bastard.
I have the same one. Track or z mode might be better. Even just for the positive steering at higher speeds…
