C8 Corvette or Used Exotic?

[Flyn]

Were you expecting some quick article on which is better? A brand new C8 or a used exotic? Maybe a few pics or a short video?

Oh, no no no no no...

This is corona season when finding something to do that will kill a couple hours is gold.

Enjoy Tavarish, Hoovie and VinWiki as they buy three used exotics for less than the price of a C8 and then try to keep them running through several days of track and dyno experiments. Winner gets to keep their car.

C8 > All.

Itll cost less to own and get parts for too.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I'd rather just have a C8.

C8

I love the C8, but there is just something about a gated shifter in an exotic that tickles my fancy.

 

[RICH17]

these were unbearable to watch. They tried WAY to hard to be like top gear. Even if intentional, it was cringe fest

I have a soft spot for a Ferrari 360. The C8 is the smarter buy, but I would kick tires hard on a 360 if I had the cash to buy another toy in that price range.

The guys are definitely not used to working with each other. Each has their own distinctive style and watching them together is something like a DC Superhero crossover week.

if i had really deep pockets a used 458 / gt3 / hurcan would be fun. but the cost of ownership on these cars are ridiculous

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, look how hard it is for the guys to keep these cars running through a day of racing and a dyno. Frigging clutches are $6K.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

No such thing as a cheap exotic. You'll pay for it one way or another.

 

[Bru]

None of the above. C7 Grand Sport.

The Gallardos have come down in price. But still not sure I'd want to buy one of the cheaper ones. If I did I'd definitely rather have a manual version than the single E-Clutch.

FYI, I do NOT bring Trump into every thread.

In this new episode, the guys take their hoopties to... Mar A Lago. Yeah. Where Trump lives. ?

You leave out Trump but you bring in shitty content from people that normally do okay with their own channels but when sponsored to do this shit completely fail. This is terrible.

 

[Flyn]

I try to add content. You bitch a lot. Start your own threads if you don't like mine. Nobody's forcing you to click in.

 

[guspech750]

Strangely I saw a new C8 sitting out front at D&M Motorsports the other day. Burnt orange color. Looked damn nice.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, a $60K-$90K sports car that looks good and has the internals to make it as good or better than exotics that cost 3-4 times as much.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Will own a C8. Just not for a few years. Pay off RS, settle a house, no debts, then pull trigger on either Z51 or maybe Grand Sport if the model exists and is in range.

That whole series just showed these guys are clueless. At one point the guy with the lambo said a huge issues with all of them is you can't fill them with fuel quickly. That the pump shuts off all the time. That it takes 30 minutes to fill up a tank of gas. What the fuck are you talking about?

Turns out to "cheat" the the rules he bought a flood damage car to get a "better" exotic for the c8 money limit. Turns out the fuel tank vent filter was clogged with mud due to the flood. Not a surprise to any car guy.

So they clean the vent and go to fill it with fuel so they can hit the road. Then just after just a couple gallons they said the car wouldn't accept fuel and the pump shits off. So they kept filling it a couple of onces at a time as the pump would allow.

These fucking geniuses couldn't figure out the car that they just filled up with gas the night before had a full tank and are trying to shove more fuel into a full tank. They figured it out when the filler neck had fuel over flowing out of it. Are you kidding me? Fucking amazed. No basic knowledge of cars, of common sense, and yet these guys make a ton of cash releasing videos about cars. Where did I go wrong in life? haha









Anyways, anyone that says c8 in this thread should be ashamed of themselves. A hypothetical question of a dream car exotic or a cookie cutter vette? Ya right!

I watched 5 seconds of the first video but the guy with the skinny jeans and douchey voice is painful to watch. But based on that 5 second viewing, plus the comments, this is further proof that youtubers are all braindead and the fact that they make ridiculous money can only be attributed to a glitch in the matrix

The first vid alone is 30 minutes long. Who the fuck can watch these idiots talk for 30 minutes.

 

[Yaj Yak]

None of the above. C7 Grand Sport.

im listening

 

[LikeABauce302]

I watched the first video. It was pretty painful. I like the idea of this video series, but would be better if it was done by someone with even half a clue.
