C8 2020 CORVETTE REVIEW & REVEAL - RICK CONTI @ COUGHLIN OHIO & A HIDDEN MYSTERY

The less I can let people be at ease with that system in case it fails, so we call it a boost. We've had eBoost brakes here on other Chevrolet products, like some of our new Silverados, they even have that technology and people don't. I'm even really aware that basically, instead of stepping on an old fashioned brake pedal, you're stepping on an electric actuator. , so you would like to have the benefit of it allowing you to digitally adjust the brake pedal, feeling like there has to be. Safety devices on all electric drivers help, whether it's power steering, braking, all that kind of stuff , so in the event of power loss you can still brake, you still have power in the car, this gives you a little more customization in your driving feel.

Basically, all of that is in the front of the car, if the brake fluid reservoir is right here behind us, right in front of the driver's side, next to the washer fluid reservoir, and everything is underneath, basically, so that it has the master cylinder aspiration lines, all of those. that's not all that my name is Richard I'm the Corvette specialist here on the road with this war it's a pre-production and a prototype we'll give you a quick tour of the card it's kind of a design some of the design features of the new CA and also first of all explain why the vehicle is presented as a myth, it is important to realize the lies, not only how the vehicle does and what it does, first of all the good news, if any of you have a second rz6, it The only thing that is different from the new one, this unit is absolutely everything, so starting from the front of the car, looking at the start of the annual hero at 11 o'clock, this is one of the thinnest production vehicles I have ever seen and What I mean by this is that I would trust the body cams to always be set on the underlying botanicals, starting from the front of the car and working towards the nose, just below the headlights, here he is playing on the front part. of the cars and look right under here if your primary radiators under each of the fronts also have their air cooling under the trim piece that we have here so far, today I don't, regardless of the case, it was cut only in the border where the amount of the plate goes, right there, also the vehicle that you are looking at here explaining what you like again, this is the 3 liter interior z51 with magnetic control and also the hydraulic one, it costs more than 84 thousand dollars while I grabbed the The physical form in which you tell them is the z51.

The only ways to tell it apart from the outside are this chin spoiler on the front - this is the black finish right here or it's exclusive to the C-51 - as well as the tailgate spoiler on the rear, which is also on a completely new architecture that we'll get back to there in a moment and technically each of the spoilers in the center and then the wings centered on each side, adding the 400+ pounds of active downforce, will be back here and will be the only badge on the car that says 31 on the brake calipers, you have four piston Brembo calipers around this, now moving to the front row, you have a

hidden

flasher just below the driver's side and it illuminates you halfway to the rear .

I heard you turn and grab it. feel where it is, opens up to the front trunk, we lovingly call it trunk here, pretty deep in the front, you can fit a hard one over an airplane bag in there, sock puppets are very friendly if you're trying to optimize the amount of space that you have and you have three large mechanical components traveling in the front of the vehicle with you now in the new minute starting in the center here right in the front we have our battery and all of your electronic components so if you are carrying a turtle and you have a cigarette lighter right here at Sabich's, it's the 70's with the battery protection package located about on Fox 25 nearby, you don't even have to touch the battery, you have the brake fluid reservoir right here, you have the setup of eBoost brakes right on top there you also have the windshield wiper fluid on the right side, so those are the favorite food comments left on the front of the car and when you build a mid-engine sports car without two schools of thought, or you have a lot of chassis. or a center rail chassis, this is a center rail chassis and it has a couple of benefits, so the main architecture of our chassis here has an aluminum main strut across the center and six different highly compressed aluminum wings or the manufacturing of the The rest of the chassis around it is actually ten percent stiffer than the chassis that doesn't fill the C7 and opens up a lot of space from the center side we're using.

We're running electronic coolant systems throughout the vehicle, so it opens up. lots of room in terms of that, I like the texture there on the front as well, this is a double latch so you can see it opens up there and down there once, just enough room for your travel charger to fit underneath and down again and it's really close you've got LED lights on all four sides and now we're going to move to the back of the car where Mike has a short leash just trying to point things out here so you can see him on the beach all over the side scoop. on the cooling side, that's the main engine breathing space that doesn't have a radiator behind it and that channel splits into multiple ducts halfway down, so that's the main engine breathing space.

It also has active airflow in play at the rear pushing. hot air comes out of the engine compartment or the rear of the car and on the top of the parts you have perforated vents as well as an overhanging edge on the back of the glass, all of that is for heat dispersion, basically you want to get out the hot air. from the engine compartment as quickly as possible so that it can affect the temperature in the least amount in the cabin and also in the rear trunk, so the engine breather on this side divides the rear channel for active air dispersion and also Partially the brake cooling ducts, either black. can turn this way here this is a brand new engine brand new transmission there is a shared part from our outgoing c7 on the new c8 and is anyone know the part is not finished because the hatch latch inner door latch of the terrier on either side the rectangular square of the classic which is the only part of the carryover port that we have, so it is a completely new engine completely new transmission all new mechanics on board the vehicle it is a 6.2 liter v8 It's the LT locking hood that's all new that the LT1 is standard on its LT trim level and gets active dry sump lubrication.

There are a couple of benefits to this: it has three scavenger pumps, number one makes the engine much shallower, so we can mount it lower in the chassis for better weight distribution. and drive components number two that added heat dispersion, it's just better lubrication all the way around, so it actually also reduces heat from having a network that's paired with a new 8" dual clutch transaxle DCT transmission speeds built in conjunction with Tremec. There's no manual transmission anymore, you have automatic shifters or paddle shifters and this is actually another really interesting conversation piece every time you get a chance to sit inside the car.

Here we have a completely new shifter, its attack does not push or pull to drive or reverse to put it in gear, you pull it towards you for neutral and manual, you press it to make it okay, you can feel that while it's sitting here in mode shell, it will activate anything right in front of that inside your drive mode cavity. Select button similar to the one we had on See Stephanie four modes, sport track, touring and weather, depending on how your fire is equipped, you have dual mode exhaust if you have nine suspension controls that could adjust everything from your ride, suspension settings. digital suspension Exhaust noise, even the feel of the brakes, with our new wrench also increases the brakes on board.

This is the 3L interior, so we start at the top and work our way down in terms of the 30 LT interior, what you're really paying for is the interior. creature countries, everything from the dash down is wrapped in leather, you get the gt2 seats as standard and that's quality nappa leather, everything from the dash to the eight Miller's B-pillars, even the interior of your removable roof is all suede, that's what you need. get with all three LTs - LT everything digital and mechanical comes standard so you get your side blind zone alert rear cross traffic alert performance data recorder front display dual front camera dual rear camera everything good comes in the trim level 2lt you are just starting with the GT one, not the gt2.

You can get the GT two-seat upgrade for $1,500 now in the two-seat upgrade, which is also the standard heated and ventilated seats, so you haven't done much. for your money, 1lt I said, sorry, less than $60,000 59 995, we will get the GT 1 seats, you will get one behind Cameron, you have your airbags on board and that's it in terms of safety content, no When you reach a side blind zone or a rear junction, you would have an audio system with 10 Bose speakers; With the 1 LT, 2 LC and 3 LT comes the new audio system with Bose high-performance speakers, 14 speakers packed into this cabin, which is quite surprising because it also has an active noise cancellation system, look, talking about noise , I've had a lot of this.

The window directly behind you is 90 millimeters thick in comparison, most normal windshields are 50 millimeters, so it's incredibly thick now it's heat tempered and it's also for acoustic purposes. which sits right above your firewall, which also has plenty of sound insulation in addition to its active noise cancellation, so you can hear the engine, know it's behind you, but it's not as deafening as a lot of people might think. They're not as familiar with the technology of the mid-engine, the trunk in the front, what else Richard is here in a second to point out where the 14 speakers are when he moves up to the 2 and 3 LT package.

Now remember this is a mid-engined car so you don't have that open hatch area, you have that glass and as Richard was talking about before it's almost twice as thick as your windshield so think about the gig you're going to have. inside this car with 14 speakers and a new performance series. from Bose, okay Richard, I'll give you the microphone, sir, if you would be so kind, tell us where these 14 speakers are in this car, so basically everywhere in the car there are speakers, everyone asks where 14 fit and so on. You've got in-dash speakers here in the front, if you see that S-shaped cutout that's part of that active system, the most beautiful in my opinion, you've got stainless steel speaker grills that cover the speakers between the seats, you'll see.

It has the Corvette flags with edges in the stainless steel between the center, there are two, it has speakers behind this driver and passenger seat, it also has two in the driver's door and in the passenger door and under the seat, as well which are sort of Throughout the cabin now, most of the big speakers hide two to three speakers inside each one, so that's pretty much where everyone is. Sounds great. I listened to the Bose 10 speaker system in the one-ounce standard. He and I thought it sounded cool and said. How can you justify anything better and then I heard this and I was like, yeah, okay, I get it now, you can have a soda, justify that, so the Bose Performance Series speaker system debuts in the new mid-engined Corvette, okay , the only reason I changed the segment?

What happens is telling the story I just told you. I was going to tell you guys anyway, but there's no time like the present, so remember I was talking about competitive seats earlier. I'll see this. I would not do it. I'll never be able. To achieve this now I asked the boys, yes, I am going to have a lot of problems for this. I just know I am, so I asked the guys last night. I told them: Hello, can I sit down? Can I get on that little thing and sit down? in the competition seat Oh no, and give me the GM company and bah bah bah blah, okay, I get it, that's great, I'm like a big stupid kid when they left last night.

I'm looking around to make sure no one's there and you see the screen seats what we've been showing you so far today is on a stand so I'm like oh my gosh so I push my weight onto the stands Like, let me see, yeah, I'm going for it. But I should have filmed it last night, which is why I was telling these guys, by the way, Fred andI was using the camera light that trailed all over the car. One of the guys knocking down a screen says: What are you doing? I said: I'm looking for Zora's head.

Because come on, are you serious? I trust Richard. We've been talking to him today on the vlog. He says no because Rick. They told me there's one there if we can find it. Harlan said to give him an email. Harlan. I have your email and if I find out I'll let you know, but I'm disappointed. I really thought if anyone can find that damn thing, I could, but it's quick, these guys over there laugh if you're laughing. Yo, weren't they just obsessed? I guess he was really determined to get that for you, so that's his new mission.

Corvette Community. Find me Zora hiding outside the CA

It already came up. long day, I'm tired, but that's what we're doing, we're tearing down, talking about Azure, go ahead, I'm glad it's there, if so, I trust Richard, he says yes and if Harlan told him to did. contact them then I feel even more confident that there is one there, but man I am looking everywhere at the meshes and the screens and the LED lights and the LED taillights of the patterns. I'm looking at all those little squares, talk to you. soon well I hope you enjoyed today's upload man we had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the car and how about that
