If you want a mid-engined performance car you can enjoy on a racetrack and drive on a daily basis that won’t break the bank, it is hard to go past the C8 Corvette Stingray.

The automotive community’s interest on the latest-generation Corvette was high from the moment it was unveiled last year – and for good reason. Not only is it affordable, but it is also very easy and enjoyable to drive. Plus it’s quick. Very quick.

YouTuber Speed Phenom is the proud owner of a red C8 Corvette Stingray and recently headed to Laguna Seca for a track day with the sports car. He was joined by a plethora of other impressive machines at the circuit, including a McLaren P1, Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo, a Ferrari 488 GT3 race car, and a Ford Mustang GT4. There were also a host of other high-performance European supercars on the circuit.

With quite a bit of experience behind the wheel of the C8 Corvette at Laguna Seca, the YouTuber was able to set a best time of 1 minute and 38 seconds. He also comments on how confidence-inspiring the car is.

When first launched, some complained about the pronounced understeer of the new Corvette. However, the YouTuber says there is virtually no understeer, and after watching the video, we think he seems to be right. We have an inkling his car is rocking the ‘track alignment’ settings that help provide it with greater handling balance.
