It did from a roll. And I admit to being shocked the C8 won the 1/4 race.

But maybe you are think about 5/16 mile drag race where ultimately the 300 HP would have won out.

But the morons were only driving the Demon, but the not the C8??

Throttle House is hardly hosted by morons. But, you have to take into the situation the context of what this race and this test showcased. This was not on a prepped surface. Thomas was clear about the fact that this was not ideal for the Demon. This was on an unprepped street surface, which would greatly favor the Corvette.

However, the only moronic thing(s) that I see here, is people not understanding the difference and, snubbing the Corvette in this instance because the one-trick-pony-under-specific-circumstances didn't win this particular battle in a way that satisfied those who don't understand the aforementioned issues.

And even from a roll it was pretty close. I was impressed. Faster to 60, a thousand times better looking, handles like a supercar, and costs 25+k less. Just wait till the Z06 and Zr1 come out . Chevy FTMFW

I'm pretty tired of all the over-produced stuff on youtube. If you're gonna have a race, just film the settings on the cars, discuss statistics of each car, race and don't add stupid banter. Don't turn it into a wannabe episode of whatever the latest over-dramatized car show is. Most of this stuff is made for 5 year olds. I turned it off about 5 seconds in.

Youtube is just like television now. There was a time when youtube wasn't full of garbage.

I'm pretty tired of people complaining about free content on YT, especially when the complaints have nothing to do with the actual content, only the presentation. You and thegoat need to have a contest to see who is the biggest moron.

Oh according to many I know I'm quite the moron.

Just like everything, YT started out as a free avenue for amateurs and pretty much anyone and everyone to put a video about anything they wanted, and anyone could watch it for free without ads, overproduction, and nonsense.

Of course, just like everything, the bean counters take over and it's all garbage with little substance now.

Flame me away, I would expect nothing less.
