Thanks we all have YouTube.

Please post your thoughts or at least a summary of what is in the video.

Two amazing cars. That's a terrific video. That Lamborghini is about as perfect as you can get. Great styling, great color, great sound. If it was manual it would be the perfect car.

Here’s a video with Austin and an STO owner, getting both of their takes and comments with an on the road comparison of both vehicles.

Part two will focus on the on track comparison with both of these, which will be interesting to see for sure.

Austin should talk about 25% as much as he does currently… STFU kid.

I have not been waiting for this. I really don't care. I only care what the Z06 is like. So far I like what I see....

The Lambo is better looking but that's not a reason to dislike the Z06. Its still attractive.

I like the lower look of the Huracan but overall it has a pretty awkward egg like appearance... Something about them seems Off the more I look at them... If you saw half as many Huracan's running around as you do C8's the Huracan look would get old pretty quick... I prefer the look of the Ferrari's... The C8 looks better all the time to me...

Fun video. I always enjoy Speed Phenom. So far, it's really looking like the Z06 is going to be my ideal car. More engaging and exciting than the Stingray but not as uncompromising as the exotic track weapons.

No idea, I’m guessing in a few days to edit the video. I’m assuming they filmed all in one day.

I thought it was funny when Austin let this guy drive the Z06 and the guy asked him if he was scared in the passenger seat. Austin’s reaction made me laugh, like he couldn’t believe he would ask him such a stupid question

As amazing as the LT6 sounds, hard to beat an NA Lamborghini V10.

The passenger seat is always more scary than the drivers seat, especially with some drivers! Maybe some of you must have never driven with new teenage drivers.

I can't watch Austin's videos. Is there a summary of the feedback?

Gearing seems a lot more ideal in the Lambo. The Z winds for days while the Hurcan bangs off shifts near redline in seconds.

This was the first thing I noticed.... Z06 is waaaaaah.... waaaaaahhhh... forever. Lambo is brap, brap, brap through the gears. It's got a proper gearbox whereas Z06 is done 4th and up.

Where's the "battle" ?

This is just a comparison of cars that have nothing to do with each other.
