Moral of the video : GTR is still stupid fast even after 12 years, C8 Vette punches way above it's weight and is the best value, and the GT63 is one of if not the fastest sedan on sale.

[u/digistil]

I cannot believe the GTR is still so fast.

I wished they would have done a couple of runs just to let us really see some balanced testing. Any number of things can change from run to run. I'm not saying the outcome would change but that's what I do appreciate about Carwow... the let's try it again aspect. Still love these guys though. One of the best channels out there.

Impressive the Corvette is able to keep up with awd cars that have 100 more hp. Not to mention being $40k less than the next cheapest. The Z06 can't come out soon enough.

Corvette Still best bang for the buck for me and the GTR still a monster (beautifully engineered).....

[u/[deleted]]

I'd have the AMG in a heartbeat. Damn that car is absolutely stunning from the outside and has one of the best interior's I have ever sat in.

The comment section in the video:

:GTR is still a beast even Today.

:C8 is falf the price and C8Z06 will destroy GTR.

[u/blue_bomber697]

Great race guys! Actually way closer than I thought it would be between these cars. For being underpowered, the C8 does so well.

[u/ricerking13]

Great video, short to the point and AWESOME.

Want a new vette badly.
