By choice I haven’t had a beer since September of ‘20. Topher is a dude I’d happily have a beer with. He appreciates all he gets to do, makes the most of it, and makes you feel like your own hands are on the wheel. Such an underrated reviewer.

@@TheTopher my dollar store calculator from the 90's has a better refresh rate than than this cars speedometer. It's... Honestly extremely shameful. Not sure how car designers thought it was a good idea to shift from a very precise instrument cluster with analog gauges to really crappy screens and just sell it like that. It really doesn't make sense to me. I am not against the shift to digital screens replacing analog gauges. Yes, I do prefer the analog gauges. But if car makers actually made these new interfaces with digital readouts on screens precise, easily readable, and fast... I wouldn't have anything to complain about. I wish they would either up their game, or go back to analog gauges. Sadly I don't really see many influencers complain about it.

they do this because when you're at high speeds and you look at the speedometer it's better to see an exact number than a bunch of numbers at the same time.

Really nice review. The sport cup 2's are so much better than the pilot 4s however we recently switched to the Goodyear Supercar 3r's and wow it is like glue. We put some Castrol high temp brake fluid and upgraded track pads (we switch back to OEM after), added 2 quarts of trans fluid and the track alignment and it is just a great car on and off the track! Love the C8 great!!! For years your channel never popped up I am so glad I found it!

Saw the C8 for the first time at a car show on Memorial Day. To be honest it could be one of the ugliest cars i have ever seen, it looks so disproportionate and none of body lines make any sense. Looks like they just slapped lines on it for the sake of it. Weirdly it looks better on camera and at a far distance, but up close... yikes.
