How fast is the Corvette E-Ray? Versus Ferrari F8 & Lamborghini Huracan Evo: Jason Cammisa Drag Race

That's a Corvette, the first hybrid electrified Corvette and it has all-wheel drive, so does that mean the Corvette is becoming the American Lamborghini? Well, let's let Lamborghini answer that question in the meantime, that's a Corvette Z06, the first Corvette with a blueprint. Start the V8 and everyone will say it's an American Ferrari. Do we believe them well? Let Ferrari answer that question. The C8 switching to a mid-engine layout did more than give the Corvette outrageous rear-end traction for ridiculous acceleration. It also opened the door to a Porsche 911 as a palette of models, each with a very different Focus, the Z06 is the Corvette for the

race

tracks, big, huge and sticky tires, and the lt6, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8, 670 horsepower from 5.5 liters thanks to a flat-plane crankshaft and 8,600 RPM.

Redline sounds and drives like a

race

car. It's a very different type of Corvette. It combines the wide body of the z06 with the stingrays lt2 V8, which is a 6.2 liter Porsche Rod single cam V8 that only revs to 6600 RPM, making 175 less horsepower. than the Z06, but GM's small block is among the best-sounding and most charismatic V8s on the planet, so before we continue, I think we should let these two cars argue so we can decide which sounds better. Oh, you can decide. yourself which one sounds better and then explain why it is the Z06, however the e-ray has another engine and it sounds like church bells, hear that is the sound of electrons because the Corvette crew has installed an electric motor 160 horsepower. for front wheel drive motors up to 45 miles per hour, but that's not the point, the battery is small, only 1.9 kilowatt hours, so it can really only go a couple of miles on electric power, the point is that it not only increases the total.

System power is 655 horsepower down 15 from the Z06, but it gives the e-ray all-wheel drive When you're talking about this level of power, getting it all to the ground is a real challenge. We had a lot of time to get the Z06 hooked once it did, holy Zora, was it

fast

? Remember we are not on a prepared surface, there is no vht and the z06's Michelin cup 2R tires hate the surface at Willow Springs, when we got it right the Corvette managed an amazing 10.5 second run. The quarter mile puts it in Italian supercar territory, so what's up with the e-rays?

Can it keep up with an Italian supercar? Unfortunately, Ferrari refused to participate if there were cars from any other manufacturer because Ferrari believes it lives in a world of its own and has no right to compete and then Lamborghini refused to participate because, quote, our customers don't care about speed. in a straight line and they don't care. The two Italian cars in this episode are here with a huge thank you to Falcon Car Rental. in Los Angeles, visit them on the web and use coupon code Haggerty to save up to a generous $35 on an exotic car rental.

The details in the description below are fine, as everything we have heard from all the Italian car companies in this episode has been comprehensive. another horse I think it's only fair that I start the race in Italian, so there you go, did you miss me? It's a 10-4, meaning the e-rays beat the Italian supercars. It also means that the e-rays beat the Corvette Z06 so what. I think the most interesting thing is how different it was to get that 10.4 versus the z06's 10-5 at launch. The e-ray is a model of consistency. Engage launch control and 60 is yours in just 2.4 seconds with so much rearward weight transfer.

The front wiper motor is approaching the traction limit of the front tires as the power increases on the road, it peaks at about 40 miles per hour and stays there until about 110. Quarter mile. Dial when the e-beam is traveling just two miles per hour slower than the Z06, its front-engine power has been reduced to well below 100 horsepower; In other words, at these speeds, the lighter, more powerful Z06 is significantly

fast

er, but the e-ray launch is crazy enough to hit the line a tenth sooner than the Z06, making them both faster than our Italian supercars. Here's a very fast Italian supercar that ate a lot of nasty wheel hops and the pig accelerates in 2.7 seconds from 0 to 60, which is unheard of for a two-wheel drive car.

Here's the thing at 30 or 40 miles per hour this thing pulls a car in the Lamborghini we're exhausted from here on out it's just violence the 710 horsepower Ferrari doesn't keep pulling the lambo, it's already wobbling in all-wheel drive e-rate when it reaches the school zone accelerates enough to catch the Corvette at the end of the quarter mile, but the turbocharged Ferrari is different. Rapid League that travels eight miles per hour faster than the e-ray The fact that the two-wheel drive F8 is even in the mix is ​​a testament to how fundamentally good and outrageously powerful it is because the crux of the The point is that in a rolling race it wouldn't even be a competition, the Ferrari would just walk fine, you might be thinking.

Where did everyone go? But that's not a slow car. This 602-horsepower Lamborghini has a boost mode that makes the clutch put on a dramatic wheel-spin show, so it takes this Evo almost three and a half seconds to reach almost 60 miles per hour. a full second behind the more powerful all-wheel drive Huracan Evo, we ask Lamborghini for sure, it has a bit of a hard time getting off the line, but all of the Lamborghini's horses are present and accounted for and we know it because its speed trap is identical to that of the e-rays even though it is five cars behind oh, in all-wheel drive, Evo probably would have overtaken the Ferrari but not the Corvette and although this rear-wheel drive Huracan had no chance of getting off the line , it weighs 250 pounds less than the e-ray so it's not slower once it's finally connected a quarter mile is a quarter mile in fairness, that's fair, you saw it here first.

The e-ray is not just an American version of the Italian supercar, it is a faster version of the supercar and, by the way. You know it's not the end of the road for the Corvette. You know the Z06 engine will end up there with twin turbos and then we'll be back here racing Bugatti Mistral or something. I think these Twitter people are right guys, this is a racetrack I've ever seen, stay tuned.
