That's Savage Geese, on YouTube. Most certainly not your average content creator. He's got some rather nice in-depth reviews on cars with near-cinematic quality content where it makes sense. He doesn't just scream on his videos or use click-bait titles to lure in views. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised if you checked out his channel.

His video should be pretty good. I don’t watch them all, but they are usually pretty in depth and he doesn’t come off as a biased fanboy of any particular brand.

Except he does admittedly have a relatively overt bias against Corvettes. Now, he's warmed up to them a lot over the years so, perhaps this will be an unbiased review.

The rumor is that the Z06 media day is being held at Pittrace on October 3rd. I was there tracking my C8 for 2 days this past weekend and an Orange Z06/Z07 "strutted" through the pits revving that FPC engine.

Now that you mention it, I remember that being mentioned in one of their C8 reviews. If I remember right the other guy is a Corvette fan and kind of balanced it out.

Either way should be a good video.

Never heard of him but if he has a rep for being anti-Corvette and his Z06 review is very good then that says a lot. Looking forward to it.

Savage geese will most likely say:

- Sounds amazing, unlike any car in the market in today’s world with the exception of GT3.
- Feels very emotional and connected
- Size is big
- Too wide
- Steering is better than C8 but not like GT3
- Under/oversteer characteristic that wont be neutral
- Lots and lots of comparisons against GT3

Nice to see GM sent out some non Z07 cars for evaluation as well...I still love the wing, but not for $18k and the extra wait,

Never watched his videos as they're boring but i know he's one of the top car reviewers.

I can't wait to see his video only because it'll be new footage. Hopefully he really drives the car and doesn't talk as much.

Awesome! And ONLY ~5 months before the "rest" of us can expect at the earliest to get our cars. [SARCASM] Yeah, I'm not angry at all.

I do enjoy his videos when he puts the cars on the rack. Doubt he can do that at the track, though. He typically doesn't like Corvettes, but his son does.

Can’t wait, hopefully it’s one of their lengthy, in depth reviews. It’ll be interesting to hear their comments, both good and bad.





Edit: With this comment, I’m expecting a very thorough review. Can’t wait.
