Thanks to Andy for joining us with his 458: bit.ly/Car-Film-Safety-Guy
Who’s ready for a USA vs Italy showdown?!
We’ve got Mat in the Corvette C8 Stingray, and he’s lining up against one of the most valuable Ferraris around - the 458 Speciale!
So let’s see how they compare. Starting with the Corvette, it’s packing a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 which can deliver 482hp & 612Nm of torque. The engine’s mid-mounted, and altogether the C8 tips the scales at 1,655kg.
Then we have the Ferrari. It’s housing a 4.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 at the rear, which can deliver 605hp & 540Nm. Naturally, it’s lighter than the Corvette, weighing in at around 1,500kg.
So, they’re relatively even, apart from one key stat… While the C8 is worth around £77,000, the Ferrari will easily set you back £400,000!! The question is, will it prove its worth over the quarter-mile? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

I like the addition of drone shots. Please do more of them in future drag races.
It's incredible fast, maybe they should do a drag race against the drone?
@@Pro09video yes. Do also a drag race against an Red Bull Air Plane.
@@Pro09video I think they already have a video on their channel where they race a drone.
@@slesperado its possible.
my favorite ferrari and top comment is my fav nfl team. lets go rarri
Loving that new drone shot!
Indeed, love it too!
Yeah, it was faster that the cars.
The only thing is they need to hire a pro to get the shots these were kinda amateur
Yeaa
Shit footage that was really
Considering the hp and weight difference, on top of the price, I think the Corvette did pretty crazily good.
The Italians are known for their "optimism" when it comes to car weights. They probably actually weigh about the same.
That’s the point of buying one affordable performance that gets close to a Ferrari.
Rari is overrated
@@guycha0s380 bruh... it's from 2009😭. The tech advantages aren't comparable
@@yee3953 Ferrari 458 speciale 2015
155kg heavier and 123hp down and the race was that close every time. Corvette really put that car together well.
You might want to rethink that hp number a bit. Mat is way off here. For starters, he quotes PS for the Ferrari and bhp for the Corvette. Secondly, the bhp number for the Z51 which this is, is 495, not 482. So we are looking at 495 vs. 597, so 102 bhp of difference. Secondly it well documented that the 458 was slightly overrated on power, and it is equally well documented that the C8 is a bit underrated. So you can be quite sure that it's more like an 85-90 bhp difference if not less. Thirdly, let's look at weight. It is more like 125 kg difference in the real world. All that said, the C8 does well for what it is for sure, but one should not be surprised that the 458 is not THAT much better, especially considering the 8 speed trans in the C8 and the frankly abysmal launch control system in the 458's,
@AB-80X even if what u r saying could be possible which tho i dont agree , it's still almost 100 HP less and 125KG heavier and still only lost by a .1 of a second but remember that the C8 is $131,000 less which makes everything you said a waste of your time.
@@AB-80X no, export c8 hp is 482 due to Euro emissions.
@@rudymcrudy964 The C8 is also over 10 years younger. Not really boastworthy, is it, your brand new car being almost as good as a 10 year old (based on a 15 year old) Ferrari, 2 generations behind, in the only sort of race the vette would be competitive in
@@dylanburston7453 Physics don't have a time frame.
Cant wait to see what the ZO6 version of the Corvette will do. Also, love the drone shots.
This! I was looking for this comment.
The Z06 is gonna be insane and can’t wait for ZR1 too 😃

This car was a masterpiece created by Ferrari, practically all magazines who testedthis car archieved 10,9 seconds in 1/4 mile, 3,2 seconds in 0-100 Km/h and 6 seconds in 100 to 200 Km/h, in 2013 this are truly impressive numbers, especially for a 4,5L N/A engine!
one of the most beautiful cars ever too, the standard 458 was better looking imo
The last great Ferrari V8...
And that 9000 rpm redline... Absolutely crazy
6 seconds 100 to 200? Not a chance LMAO. That's new Ford GT territory.
@@DizzyMan24 That is slow today lol... Are you reading in mph?!?
Never underestimate a Corvette. I was in Newport Beach for a job interview once. Center lane in my S2000. On my left pull a Ferrari 430. On my right pulls a C6 Z06 Vette. I just kinda hunkered a bit lower in my seat as they started revving. Light turns green, and the Ferrari got dusted like it was standing still.
I love how they will do a re-race if something happens or it isn’t a clean race. Very nice! Awesome video!
Can we take a sec to appreciate the drone shots and it’s speed!
Yeah, what was the drone? It was fast!
They need a proper drone pilot.
@@TucsonDude Probably the Dji FPV Drone. 0 to 100kmh in 2 seconds and top speed is like 150kmh.
@@TucsonDude Which it is doesn't really matter, these days just about any mid range hobbyist grade quadcopter in that size class is quicker than just about any car. They don't typically top out much above 130mph but they can pull off several G of acceleration. It isn't the DJI FPV quad though, looks wrong for that.
@@yucannthahvitt251 I am not sure about that. Maybe initial acceleration, but not top speed. I have one of the later DJI drones (DJI Mavic 2) and it tops out at 50 mph. Which ones are you referring to that can go that fast? Plus, why do people keep saying "FPV quad"? The FPV is the goggle accessory (first person view). I know because I have them.
Holy crap, the base model vette was able to trade some blows with 100hp and 100kg wieght disadvantage! The Corvette team really pulled off some witchery with those gear ratios and overall engineering. Can't wait to see what the Z06 and eventually ZR1 can do!
NO - the Ferrari is nowhere close to 600 hp. Plenty of 458 dynos to prove that.
@@cptnsx so how much does it make
@@HFSIR most customer cars show 430 - 470 to the rear wheels with the avg around 450-460.
@@cptnsx Even more of a rip off then.
@@cptnsx Sounds like Ferarri is measuring crank horse power (engine only), not HP at the wheels, then (which is always less than crank HP). C8 is also still in break-in, thus power is reduced by 30%, until 500 miles is reached.
Wow I did not expect the Vett to do so well. Incredibly impressive against the Ferrari especially since you could buy 2 Vetts and have a lot change leftover lol
The Vette seems to punch way above it's weight class. It's pretty impressive for what it can do. Still out of the budget of a lot of the car buying public but amazing value for those who can afford it. Unless you're me and don't fit in those cars then it's moot regardless of price.
@@bmstylee Vetts were always one of the very few fast cars I could fit in lol, but haven’t sat in a C8 yet. Honestly I don’t like it at all I’d buy a C7, but it’s a very impressive car for the money and especially for what it’s holding it’s own against.
@@2wheelobsessed I'm not huge but the seats are incredibly uncomfortable. I have a wide mid and upper back from 20+ years training as a powerlifters and the bolsters smash my ribcage. I'll stick with my trucks. More room and definitely more practical. And with the right mods can be pretty quick as well.
You can buy 5.2 Corvettes for what the 458 costs.
Well, it's not fair to compare the price of a mass-produced car against a limited edition handbuilt car which has grown so much because of car collectors. Is it? That said, the Vette is a lot of a car for the money.
Really felt that Ferrari’s license plate 2:20
What that mean?
@@RedRocketRR-xc5hk he has adhd as fuck

You know Chevys doing something right when a base model corvette is being compared to not too old special edition Ferraris
For a fraction of the price too, crazy how you get a mid engined car competing with ferraris for 77k
Wait till the zo6 comes out. Then lets see how the pista
@@AA-kf3by that doesnt mean anything the rarri is just expansive bc its a special model but if you go by price the f8 would be closer and maybe even better performing
Its an 8 years old car agains a 2 years old car and its still lost, now imagine what an Ferrari F8 from 2019 will do with that Corvette.
Totally bogus. The 458 was benchmarked, and normally a Stingray COULD NOT BE BEATEN by a 458 in the quarter mile.

They will sandbag it like they did with the c8.
Suggestion: Putting all the cars horsepower , torque and other specifications on one screen side by side so we can compare them easily
they usually do
that's in every video
@@theweeknd2725 must videos don't have them and i know because i watched like hundred of them.
@@BetterWarrior their newer videos have it
For that big price difference, the vette did incredibly well
yes but the Ferrari is really old in comparison and a limited car
That Ferrari is old tho lol
An old Ferrari is still a Ferrari though and it's still a modern car. The Vette still did very well considering the Ferrari is 5 times the price.
I can see you don't understand anything... That's about as intelligent as saying, "The muscular Romanian cook in our canteen is stronger than the boss's sharp secretary." For this reason you take the Romanian cook... Good for you..
@@xdxangeloxbx the old C6 ZR1 has a quarter mile time of 11.2 seconds and is much older than this Ferrari
Good video. The C8 needs to be in Track mode with the traction button pushed twice. This takes the nannies off and THEN you get the full output of the engine. The Ferrari will still be faster with the HP advantage, but the Vette will be closer. The Chevrolet engineers wanted to keep the car stable and safe for it's average driver so the performance is only full at the Track race 2 settings.
Yep. I’ve learned his to go full beast mode and it’s pretty impressive.
So can we do the same race but with the new z06??? Might be a little better with the higher revs so longer power band
For the difference in the price, weight and power I'd say the vette done good against the 458
GM generally undercams their engines. A bigger cam and some tuning will wipe the smile off the Ferrari. Those engines will handle 1000 hp easily.
Also with the price difference imagine taking your vette to Hennessy Performance I bet it’ll still cost less and that Ferrari would know very well what the C8 tail end looks like as it pulls away.
The ferrari is almost 10 years old the reason it gets so expensive is the beautiful engine sound that na v8 revving up to 9k rpm is just unbeatable also its timeless design. Also the very simple but pretty interior with high quality materials. The car is also very nicely balanced and is perfect for circuit days its all about driving experience no one would notice the .5 s launch time difference from 0-60 in normal driving conditions.
@@bmstylee That is such a lame statement. First off, those engines will need one hell of a huffer to make 1000 hp. Secondly, GM does not "undercam" their engines, that's a stupid comment. They build their engines to last, to be comfortable to drive and to meet emissions, plain and simple. Sure you can but some BTR cam and shove it in there and make more power, and you will then also wave goodbye to your warranty, the reliability and the street friendly manners. I have built plenty of LS engines and a few LT1 engines, so I know what they can and can't do. If you think you can just add a lot of power without sacrificing some of the things that make the car as nice to drive as it is, you are sorely mistaken. By that account you might as well throw a pair of turbos on the 458. People do that too and they live as well, so it is what it is. Apples to apples, stock vs. stock. That's the name of the game.
are we forgetting how the 458 is 10 or 11 years old.. like fam it came at 2010 mate, the c8 came at 2020, PLUS that was ferraris old flagship model and GMS flagship is the c8 so what i am trying to say is if you want to compare a flagship with another flagship then the newest ferrari flagship i am pretty sure is the f8, and yeh the 458 is more expensive but like first of all its a ferrari, second it sounds better ( opinion ) third it is beautiful and lastly it is exotic, the c8 is not exotic it is a supercar but not exotic
I saw the c8 z51 beat 3 feraris and 2 porches at mays landing nj around the track. The handling is where the c8 excels past the others.
Love the drone shot

Good video! Would be cool to see the new Corvette ZR1 against the 458….think the ZR1 has 800+ bhp and it’s still “only” about $130-150k.
my favorite thing about this is you can see the case for both of these. the c8 is such an insane value but the 458 is rightfully like the whole experience perfected at of course a massive premium. either way glad they both exist

All in all the drag races are very fun to watch! But it would be much better when you can display the times of the cars (0-100, 100-200, 1/4-mile,…) and decide the races according to the times. So when someone misses the start and loses because he reaches the line as the second one but have all in all better times it doesn’t matter. I hope you understand my criticism and I am not the only one who wants this. Have a great weekend ✌️

Try that power figure again. That's actually a 102 bhp difference. The imported C8's are the 495 bhp variant, and the Speciale is 597. Add to that the fact that the C8 is slightly underrated and the 458 was slightly overrated. That difference will probably be 90 bhp at best.

Nice race !
Mat we need more drag races with Andy and his insane cars like this 458
YES!
That car plate tho....ADHD AF 😅
Thanks, I’ve got a few more to bring long next time.
Love the 458 but that C8 is a performance bargain, as you can see in this video. The c8 is heavier and down on hp but kept up with the 458 in the drag race, very impressive. The Chevy engineers did a good job with having the c8 put the power down. I would love to see a race between the 458 and the c8 z06, i think the results would be a lot different but that probably goes without saying.
Let's see how the Z06 does against the Pista!!!!
The Corvette in this video also only had 98 miles on the odometer, which means 30% of its torque is limited until 500 miles, which is for engine break in period. In the US, the C8 Corvette gets low 11s unprepped and high 10s prepped. I've ridden shotgun in a c8 vette at Gainesville drag strip and it did an 11.47. I weigh 200lbs and the driver weighed 180lbs
Digital watches measure time the same way or better than a Rolex, yet people desire the Rolex still. Performance is cheap. Craftsmanship, artistry and exclusivity are not.
@@nightdriver7216 Most people cannot afford a Rolex comfortably, but most people can easily afford a functional, accurate Casio. Of course Ferrari is still nice to own if one can comfortably afford it, but then someone who owns a Porsche 918 should laugh at the one who owns a 458 and claim they should give up on it since it's not a 918? Of course not. There are good things in every orice range. That is how they should be judged. Price / Performance ratio is the key. Heavy weight boxers are not thought of as the best boxers. They are only judged by who is the best boxer in the heavy weight division. Everyone doesn't just ignore every other division. They look at who is the best in each division. Corvette C8 is amazing when it comes to *Price / Performance* ratio.
@@saltyfloridaman7163 Wow. Do you think they intentionally did that (drove the C8 underpowered) because if the Corvette just romped the Ferrari, then Ferrari would call them up and complain? 🤣

Kinda. The launch control system of the 458's are shockingly poor, and those Cup 2 tyres aren't helping either.
For a 2014 car? That is an exceptional performance!
Excellent race! 458 is gorgeous, C8 is very impressive. You'll have to test the new Z06 later this year with the new flat plane V8 making 670HP. It should take the 458 for about 1/3 the price.

@@Clayson000 ?? I had my F430 spider manual since new in 2007. Only in the shop once. I'm not sure it's less reliable than a Chevy. However, the Chevy looks... odd. It looks like a cheap toy robot, and the body is weirdly long-looking. I like ALL the previous Corvettes' appearance, but this one is just too randomly styled. Speed doesn't really matter to me pas a certain point, but I traded a four month old R35 GT-R for the Ferrari. I expected it to be slower but the Ferrari on a roll could actually slightly gain on the first-generation R35, by like a half a car-length in 10 sec, according to "tests" on empty Japanese highways. And the cost of an item like a car isn't the purchase price, but rather the depreciation. My Ferrari took a big hit when the 458 came out then a little hit when the 488 came out, but it's value's inching upwards now. I grant some Corvette models appreciate but most don't. Basically by comparing purchase price, not depreciation, you're showing yourself to be a poor person, and stupid enough that you'll remain poor.
@@lqr824 1. how often do you drive the car, if not a lot that would explain the lack of service you have had to do. 2. the f430 only wins at rolls because it had decent power and low weight, (good job on watching a video of a gtr and 430 racing from a roll, the half a car length was spot on). 3. how would wanting the cheaper and better car make me poor, it shows that I know what to do with my money if I ever wanted to buy a sports car, which would be the stupid thing to do. I you want to get a fast daily driver just get a motorcycle, I could walk your f430 with a 6k bike.
@@Clayson000 > good job on watching a video of a gtr and 430 racing from a roll, the half a car length was spot on While driving from Tokyo to Fukuoka there was about 15 min where there were no other cars in sight, when a GT-R entered the highway right next to me. I had just sold my GT-R and since I had RHD and he had LHD, we could actually converse at sort of 50mph and decided to try a roll. I was surprised as the GT-R is so mind-bendingly quick off the line thx to 4WD and having VERY close gears low down. But from say 30MPH to 130MPH the top-down spider had the tiniest tiniest advantage. I didn't speed-shift but started at like 5800RPM and shifted at redline. (Manual.) Yeah, you still don't seem to understand the difference between purchase price and appreciation. I have trouble imagining what it must be like to be so dumb.
You should do a rematch between this 458 and the new Z06 if you get a chance.
That’s insane performance from the US Corvette. Bit like USA v England in WC2022. Wow very impressive. Can you say VALUE for money. Wow. Very impressed vet.
Love the new camera angles
It's amazing how cars get better over the years. A 150kg heavier and 100hp less powerful Vette gave the Ferrari a run for its money after being released just a few years later. Impressive
And the speciale was released in 2013, almost a decade old?
Just a few year? Its a decade between those cars…
@@mirane.630 No way... The Ferrari 458 came out in 2014, while the Vette C8 did it in 2019.
@@sergioferrero46 bro dont talk shit go and google before u talk shit.. the 458 came 2009 and the c8 mid 2020
@@sergioferrero46 Speciale is a 2013 car… the one in the video is a 2014 but the Speciale was unveiled in 2013, at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
I agree the corvette did very well as everyone else stated with its disadvantages of heavier weight and less horsepower but I must add that the corvette is like six years newer. newer technology and the benefit of studying the competition before debut of your product makes a major difference what if they came out the same year the outcome could very well be different.
I wasn't going to subscribe. Have 2 many already. Then I watched. Subscribed. Good job
The Corvette has 495 HP on this side of the pond. Great comparison, and quality video as always. I wonder why they would de tune them to 480 ? History will show that they always fudged the HP #s to get around legalities lol
Most likely has to do with reliability. American models of cars usually have poorer reliability
@@-SP. that is NOT why lol. Removing 15hp wouldn’t increase reliability. And the LS/LT engines are very stout…hence why they’re swapped into basically every other platform. And they’re definitely more reliable than most anything from Europe. I’m sure the reason for the detune is emissions or sound related.
@@-SP. you didn’t think this comment out?
I think they have more restrictive emissions and noise rules that lower hp in most models over there. For example, their AMG cars all sound pretty shit compared to ours here in the states.
@@-SP. Nope it's because of emissions standards in the EU.
This drag is awesome! The videos from the drones made it look like a game and it's absolutely insane
Okith, this drag race deserved a 97 on score.
Love to see this again with a Z07 packaged Z06. As close as this was I think the Ferrari might get surprised.
Same price and a very beautifull design i think that the difference is the same to chose from an Giorgio Armani suit between Calvin Klein suit. Hard choise... Ferrari on Monday and Corvette on Tuesday ? 😉😊
Can't wait for the same head to head with the C8 Z06, which I believe owes a lot to the 458.
It does. However, for a matched power fight, it would have to be the 488 vs. Z06.
@@AB-80X True, but then we are not going NA only, but that opens a whole new discussion, either way, we all win.
Honestly props to the C8, because that’s a base corvette. And of course the speciale isn’t a baseline Ferrari.
Is the Stingray a base model?
@@curbyourshi1056 yeah for the c8
@@curbyourshi1056 Apparently the Z06 is supposed to have almost 200 more hp. But that's not until "2023"
@@curbyourshi1056 I'm pretty sure the Stingray is nothing more than a cosmetic package

Need to get the z06 then try this.
Just imagine what the Z06 is gonna do in a race like this. 😉
To be fair, with the price difference, you can choose the highest level C8 with every possible available performance upgrade, making it very possible to match or even surpass the Ferrari and still have enough money left over to send it off to Lingenfelter if it doesn’t……and probably STILL have money left over!
ones a rari tho bro,
New z06 will definitely walk the 458, but the 458 is my dream car. I'd still take the 458
Well, these 2 cars are not at the same level brother by any means. If you have that much money, the last thing on your mind would be the highest level C8 Corvette, trust me.
@@joshlmullinix well the z06 would get walked by a pista or even better a f8

ferrari is dated. its not bad looking, but I guarantee about half the female population is gona say "nice corvette" to you when you pull up to starbucks looking to show how hard you are
That vett is so ugly. Will not age well
@@dustovshio nah, the ferrari has a timeless style that's all it's own. the vette is copying the ferrari, how could anyone mistake a ferrari for a vette?
@@dustovshio you should see them in person, big difference, no one is going to mistake the Italian exotic for a kit car looking Vette. Again, in person there is no comparison.
It's easy to mistake them if you're not a car guy. Now the rest of us will know but the average person won't.
Surprised how well the Vette could brake versus CC brakes on the 458
Should do the same comparison with the z06 c8
My dream ferrari.. last one with that glorious NA V8..
The ZO6 version is the same thing
2 of my favorite cars in 1 video!!! this is amazing
would love to see this again when the z06 is released
The C8 Stingray can get with the 458 off the line which is AMAZING! The C8 ZO6 smoked the hell out of the 458 and the Lamborghini Huracan for a quarter of the price ($150,000 US.) Wait until the C8 ZR1 comes out. Smoking McLarens won't be a problem at all unless they are electric👍💯
The new c8 looks amazing and it's a good value for money they should do it again when the z06 comes out
Exactly waiting for the Z06 of mine if ever we get allocation and such 😂

Try the Z06 against whatever you decide. When it's available. Interesting to see what the extra power will be like
