After nearly 60 years, the @Chevrolet #Corvette has FINALLY gone mid-engine for 2020. The all-new #C8Corvette broke the internet when it was announced last year and with a completely new chassis, quick-shifting 8-speed DCT, nearly 500 HP, and 0-60 in 2.9 seconds with the Z51 performance package, it will go down in history as the most impressive #ChevroletCorvette in history. The exotic car looks will get you attention everywhere and for those of you who want even more speed, Z06 and ZR1 versions are on the way in the next couple years.

The day has FINALLY arrived! Our comprehensive review on the most hyped car of 2020 is here and we were absolutely blown away! Incase you guys are interested in just seeing the launch reaction, skip to 22:04 to see Sofyan's reaction to the quickest accelerating car that he's ever driven this year! Believe the hype online, the new C8 Vette is a game changing sports car. We can't wait to drive the upcoming Z06 and ZR1 models!
Savagegeese said the C7 was undoubtedly more fun to drive. With the lack of steering feedback I'm sure it's true.
I'm sure the acceleration in your Model3 was more swift & brutal.
You might be the last to review it
But you reviewed it the best!!!
Hi, I want to see the BMW X6 COMPETITION please made This one
Sofyan, my dad has been on the waiting list for several months for the 2020. Best of luck, I hope you're able to get your hands on one.
I work at the Bowling Green Assembly where we build this car. I remember having to keep this a secret for so long. Feels good seeing people enjoy this car
Thank you for building these great cars at BGA!
Awesome car!!🏁🏁
Thanks Aquann, you guys and gals in BG really rock!
Glad you kept it secret, until time to unveil!😀😁
Thank you for building amazing American made cars #BuyUSA
I don't think I've ever seen Sofyan this excited in a car before. :D
Like a kid on Christmas Day!
The first time you did the launch control your facial expression was a combination of joy and fear!
When a car tickles the driver that drives a bazillion cars , u know it’s good.
It’s called “acting”
Nathan “sponsored” 😂
@@FunTimeStudios82 @ he not acting I watch a lot of videos on him he has been honest and fair on them all. he is a genuine car guy and give honest feedback you can tell he's being honest. he is an asian if he was going to be biased he would be pointing you towards asian car makers not American made.
@@FunTimeStudios82 yea i guess everyone who actually bought it with their own money is acting too right ?
@@hacklaurent9412 My oldest sons got his C8 last week (same color as the one in this video) and it is an amazing car. He had a C7 and I loved it as well but the C8 is like nothing I have ever driven.
Sofyan's excitement on the first launch alone will help Chevy sell a few thousand additional C8's, no doubt. True expressions of awe and pleasure! Thanks for the thrill Sofyan!
You were the last you tuber to review this corvette because GM saved the best for last.
the other reviewers weren't selling Vette's so they said, "Let's give Sofyan one" then they started selling a bunch...
I genuinely enjoy watching his excitement to speedy cars. Wouldn’t mind watching like a compilation video of all his reactions. Good one!
What makes his reactions like this so special is that he's normally so even keel during his reviews...almost monotonous...that when he displays such exuberant emotion like this it's awesome!
@Furious_DC I would venture to say that most people are not used to going 0-60 in 3.0 seconds. Heck, we see all the cars he reviews so we know most of them aren't that fast either.
Slapp Yet you’re here in the comment section commenting, and are probably subscribed. You’re an idiot.
His reviews are the best.
@Slapp you seem to like his vids too. I can see your comments on his other vids too now. Remember CZcams made that change😂
His reaction during launch control was worth the price of admission. Best response I've seen yet and like many of us, I guess, I've seen most of them. Great review.
His enthusiasm made me really happy. I hope the people who were part of building the c8 feel very proud.
When the reviewer is having a good time, the audience is having a good time.
He laughs like Mario 64
He does hahahaha
26:30
You think he has all 120 stars?
@@300zxkid LMAOOOO
@@300zxkid you made my night dude lol
21:30 THIS IS WHY I'M BUYING A VETTE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Transit 8 Same here!
Going by Sofyan's reaction to launch mode, it seems as if the C8 Corvette is not the only thing leaving skid marks. 😀
Lol
oh yeah.... he shit his pants for sure lol
OMG !
🤣🤣😂
@@danielcoroado3063 thats why he sat there speechless for so long?
Even though you might’ve been the last youtuber to review it imho you did the absolute best review of all of them yet.👏👏
Exxxxaaccly what I was thinking!!! Best Corvette review evvvvv'rrr!
No question
I've never seen Sofyan so hype about a car before lol. I literally bursted out laughing when he said it was faster than a McLaren GT, this car really is a huge slap in the face to every exotic manufacturer in the business right now. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most successful Corvette models in the history of the brand. Very good job.
This is a slap in the face to McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini. It also makes the Ford gt completely irrelevant.
@@svpracer98 Let's not get crazy now. Raw performance numbers aren't everything. I'm a HUGE Corvette fan and always have been, but the GT is a very, very, very special car. There's room for both! Actually, there's room for as many amazing mid-engine cars as the automakers can turn out. :-)
Matt Kothe the GT is way too damn expensive
@@VetteZ06 it was too expensive, built in limited numbers and had a v6. WHY!? FOR WHAT REASON!? It doesn't sound as good, doesn't preform any better and is no more ecological than a v8. For the amount of hype that car got, ford gave us an goose egg.
Spencer Peat When did you drive the GT?
Your reaction when you took off with launch control was priceless!!
The thumb nail sold me.
Turn down your volume after 21:10 guys 😁 because Sofyan is in hypebeast mode after that lol.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing Redline Review!
Absolutely Love your reviews! I subscribed to your channel over a year ago and this the best review (in my view) you have ever done! I'm a native Detroiter with a Engineering background from the College For Creative Studies (shown in the latest Transformers movie) major Industrial & Automotive Design, I will be ordering a C8 next year. Check out my my concept custom moded 1996 Z28 (code name Project Red Alert) I guarantee you have never seen anything like it! Keep up your Amazing reviews!! God Bless!!
Your reaction to the 0-60 made my day.
Thank you so much for mentioning sound system, 14 way adjustable seats, the interior quality and headlights. Because most of the bloggers don't talk about these things. I really appreciate!!!
I concur with your opinion on the long row of buttons. At first I was aestheticly repelled. But they've really begun to grow on me to the point that I actually see the genius behind the design. I am totally in love with this car. Well done, GM. Great review, by the way 👍
I love the way you said you get more attention in the C8 Corvette than you did in a $260k McLaren GT. There was so much passion in your voice. 30:20
That was the best first person perspective of showing the car launching that I have seen! It really shows how fast it really is! Awesome!
Honestly if I was going to spend up to a $100000 on a car it would be between the Corvette C8 and the Lexus LC 500. I know totally different cars but I love them both
Make more money and buy them both. The LC 500 will probably be worth more in the long run because of the extremely limited amounts. I think they're both desirable.
You can get a slightly used lc500 for 60k now and wait year or two get one these for 60k have both
I don't know based off of some of the reviews. The new C8 is a fairly comfortable car even in its most harshest ride mode. So the ride could be GT like, kind of like the LC500. But like what the other guys said, save up and get both, both will get looks and both will be fun to drive.
it will just have to be a little lust and looksies for now. unless the lottery finds me, then both are mine.
I agree I'm looking at the LC500 convertible, the Corvette looks like more fun but the LC has more class and reliability
this might be redline's best car review ever
I am German but for the next five years I will be living and working in the United States.
At home I drive a Porsche 911.
But while I am living in the United States I will be driving a Corvette.
Placed my order a couple weeks ago.
I have been waiting for you C8 review since it was announced. You car reviews are one of few that I value. You are genuine in your analysis of vehicles and reactions are amazing 😂. Keep it up Sofyan!
Finally! A Redline Review on the Corvette C8. Been searching for a full Redline Review on this car for months! Yep. Months.
Thanks for being so patient! Hopefully it was worth the wait :)
@@theredline Well worth it. It's a Redline Review. 😍
Maybe find a hobby.
That genuine joy of laughter after each launch control made me smile with joy too!!
Love 🇺🇸.Muscle 🚗!!
Mclaren Gt video: It's an insult to say this looks like a corvette
Corvette video: It looks a lot like a Mclaren 😂😂😂😂
"in terms of fuel economy... Who cares?" YES! LOL
By far one of your best car reviews Sofyan!!! I felt like I was right there with you the whole time you were driving! That launch control reaction of yours was priceless! Thank you! 😉👍
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE NEXT REDLINE CAR
Your launch control reactions remind me of your older videos of the GTR, the NSX, and the Jeep trackhawk which would always make me laugh 🤣
Richard Favreau that joke wasn’t funny the first time.What makes you think repeating it will make it funny?
Richard Favreau it’s obvious that I make more money in a month than you make in A year pal. Keep on fantasizing that your Toyota is in a class other than dull!
Richard Favreau you can’t be taken seriously and I certainly couldn’t care less what you think about me.
Sofyan best reactions ever... love his passion , not just for this car, but all his reviews!
Did you have a Cargasm with that launch? You actually squealed! Great review as always.
love it my boss has one and it is all and more i thought it would be . FYI these new cars dont need old time fog lights. with led headlamps , there is NO NEED FOR FOG LIGHTS as far as i am aware. i love that it comes in a hard top convertible. JOY you showed while driving the car (the 2 octave higher change in your voice )is exactly what the experience should be with this Vette ! party on Wayne
That was truly an amazing review! Best review I've seen yet! And your reaction to launch control was spot on lol! Love it well done Sofyan
I feel like a lot of ppl forget that’s this is only a stingray imagine the ZO6 😳
and the ZR1
There is no more zo6. Its zr1 now
And the Zora
I love your launch control test reactions
Got to love how small that engine looks, for being a 6.2L. One of the best advantages of a pushrod design, dimensionally it's a small engine.
I honestly waited for your review before I watched anything regarding the C8. Pretty bad ass car, great video!
Thanks for this review, I want to get a C8 now! Especially after his reaction when nailing the throttle!!
I haven’t watched the video yet. Just wanted to let you know that I found myself looking forward to this review from you. Always feels like a nice, even, honest opinion on your experience with the car. Thanks for all the great content!
When you said you want to by one, it makes me want to buy one. Fantastic review as always. :)
This is the first actual review for this car that I watch. Great Job!
17:00 I see you with the Freek-A-Leek Sofyan 👀
Shamika, keisha, Tara
lmfaooooo how tf did you notice that??! 😭😭
How you like it daddy?! Lol..I had to pull that joint up!
An outstanding detailed review, very enjoyable! I have watched many video profiles on the new C-8 Stingray & yours is the best & most comprehensive, thank you my friend!
It looks like a go cart. All jokes aside I work for G.M. Arlington Texas and I have to admit this is one striking monster.
How's GM's quality control in your opinion?
Gm Quality is okay
@@darrylwatley no it isn't lol
That would be an insane looking go cart
It definitely depends on the model and where it's built.
I wanted this exact car before it ever existed, this is been my Dream car since I was 7
The amount of bleeps in this video made me realize that you REALLY liked it hehe. Amazing car and amazing review like always!
Wow first time I ever seen you get so excited about acceleration!! Awesome!
When he grunted at the start of the launch control 😂 this car looks amazing!
Clearly this car is too damn fun 😂
I beg to differ on the wheels, they are gorgeous! To each his own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. After market wheels often don’t have the quality of OEM wheels also unless I am mistaken.
They can have way better quality or way worse, but balancing them is harder. The OEM wheels are made specifically for the car and balancing them isn't a problem, but sometimes after markets have a problem.
Other than that, depends on the wheels for the quality
TrashBandit 24 , thank you for the clarification!
@@sachemrock only the cheap wheels would have balancing problems sub 100 dollar alluminum wheels. I am assuming that the base C8 wheels are flow formed so a 500 dollar wheel would be of equivalent quality.
For 1/4 of the price, you could get the performance that will beat 95% of supercars!
*95% of cars at its price.
Wouldn't agree with "supercars" in general.
Beat supercars? LOL
Richard Favreau just for you I changed my profile pic so you could see my X3 M Competition.
Rusty Shackleford that’s my house jack hole!
Great video. I like this format where the driving is the last part of the video.
Thanks for your review!!!! I love the detail you put in to reviewing the interior and the gadgets! It helps me think about getting a C8 soon. 😬
Gotta love when the reviewer is talking louder than the cars exhaust.
Excellent review detail as you always do. Thank you
22:12 When she keeps going after you're finished.
Wish I knew how that feel.
@@optimusprime5166 practice makes perfect.
That's hilarious. It is!
@@optimusprime5166 You start trembling, your legs start spazzing, and you feel like an empty bottle of water having last remaining droplets sucked out by a straw creating that "whoosh" sound.
@@xFlared wft??? 🤣
Great video and you make it very fun to watch! Excellent videography!
The engine sounds deadly!!!
Not too deadly. Most people are paying for an upgraded C8 that will cost the same as a GT500. And the Chevy small-block is really a 1954 engine. Cam in block, non-crossflow two-valve heads, pushrods.While fast to 0-60, slower than the GT500 in the quarter and quarter mile by a lot. If you take the supercharged version in the Zl1-1LE compared with the GT500, the Camaro is slower in the quarter, and from 0-160, the Chevy is FIVE seconds slower than the GT500. It's all breathing. You can't get high flows through those heads, supercharged or not.
@@amazoidal You realize that you are comparing the fastest Mustang in existence to a base model Corvette right? Obviously the GT500 is faster because it has 250 more horsepower than the C8 and 100 more over the ZL1. You went on that whole diatribe to say nothing just because you dislike pushrod engines. And that's fine because the Z06 and ZR1 versions of this car will be faster than the GT500 with DOHC flat plane crank V8s.
Yes the GT500 is in the same price bracket as a C8 but it's a still a Mustang. It's much heavier, not mid-engined, and doesn't look as nice on the outside or inside. The Mustang isn't a true competitor to the Corvette and it never was. And this is coming from 2017 Mustang GT owner.
C8 z51 is a hell of a sports car. Interesting as this was the first review of a z51 without mrc shocks.
@@amazoidalStop please!! This review has nothing to do with Ford or the GT500 Mustang!! LoL!! The C8 is a two seat Sport Car that's a game changer in the Automotive Industry! The Mustang is not a C8 competitor. It is a Pony Car/ GT tourer that competes with the likes of the Camaro and Challengers.
Until the flat plane 5.5 arrives, it still has an ancient engine design. That's how you can buy one for 60k.
26:31 it's a me, Mario!
OH MY LORD SOFYAN 🤣🤣 love this guy and his reviews‼️‼️
Very well shot! The angles highlight a lot of details I missed in other reviews. Well done as always, Sofyan 👋
By far one of the best an fun reviews of the c8 yet. 👍👍🔥🔥👊I hope you get one and I love that color. 💙
30:03 the 2nd rider looked as well. Awesome review, you seen more impressed than the Acura nsx launch. This and the gtr are your best reviews.
The sounds of someone loving their job!
Great review as always
I've been patiently waiting on your review and it was definitely worth it. I'm even more excited to get one now. Your review of the 4th gen TL SH-AWD sold me and that's what I've been driving for 2 years.
Great review, your the best. Can't wait for the Z06 C8, and holy cow the ZR-1 C8 !!!!!
"Under 3 seconds? Oh, hell yeah!"
Yo. This is the most exciting car review I've seen lmao
I have seen a bunch of your reviews on cars but I have never seen you so enthusiastic about a car like you were about the Corvette. Great Job! Great Review!
Exceptional Review - I have watched MANY MANY C8 reviews and your attention to detail here was fantastic!
Love this car. Everything was well thought out by Chevy. I could even over look the lack of wireless car play. Lol. Wheels are gorgeous, so glad they are not black.
AWESOME review and AWESOME car! Thanks!
Thank you for your expressions of surprise, joy and enthusiasm in this C8 Corvette review. Right now was the perfect time for your review. With all of the negative distractors and life threatening pandemoneum, its good to see you happy.
This must be the umpteenth C8 video that I've watched 😭🤣. I have zero reason to want this car, but I do. I'm not a Corvette guy, or even a sports car guy, but this is an amazing car. Every video I see in the comments where someone is nitpicking about the engine, or something else. If zero to 60 in under 3 seconds isn't fast enough for you, the problem isn't the car, the problem is you. Lol! I'm anxious to see how Chevy improves on this in the next few model years.
Awesome 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 review.
This is much nicer than the BMW M8 Competition.
Very nice review.
Thanks for sharing this review.
Hmmm . . . I'm not sure if he likes the C8 or not. 🤔 😁
Great (and thorough) review, as always! 👍
Great review! It's fun to see what it is like when doing 0-60 in 2.8!
waiting since the Auto show for you to review this car has definately been worth the wait great Job
Blue collar Americans? Thanks for the review. Glad to hear your positive review excitement. That's always fun for us as viewers
Right!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sofyan, take that to the track and have at it!
great video! i love your reaction xD ive been waiting for this review for a while
Great video. Recently sold our C7 and this makes me miss the Corvette. Enjoy your in depth reviews.
FINALLY!!! Imagine how much more deadly the C8 will be when they release the ZO6 and ZR1
That's because those will have the DOHC 5.5 liter, with flat plane crank. But they will be expensive.
Stanny1 maybe.
yeah GM just made a widowmaker! not because it's bad because its cheap, accessible and hellion fast and everyone knows all customers are not skillet enough to drive this beast dawn the roads
Problem is the Z51 wieghes 3700 lbs. The hybrid Zora will break 4500 lbs, so it'll need 1200 HP to stay relevant. And it won't turn, ever.
@@135iN55
It won't be 4500 pounds.
All I can think of it " HVAC HAPPY TRAIL ".
Awesome review man ! Your excitement is priceless
OMG I have seen so many videos from your channel and after seeing your reaction in the C8 I was blown away😃 I now must get a test drive on it.
I’m guessing a flat plane crank in 2022 or 2023 and then you’ll have an 8,000 redline. Or higher.
I bet he's tingling in more than just his hands.
I love how this channel reviews my little 2020 180hp Sonata and then there’s this!
I really enjoyed your reviews bro, keep the good work bro!
That really is a beautiful car!!
I though I was watching a Avenger trailer with that intro music
my guy those black bars disappearing into the video in the beginning with the music and everything was SO CLEAN
This was a great video!! Great job!!
