Definitely not a quality video but it does seem like the car is having trouble getting in gear or something.

Seeing them side by side I am leaning towards no spoiler. I think it’s a good look but I guess I’ll have to see it in person to be sure.

Sounds like the video is useless so I won't watch it. Can someone post a synopsis of the issue?

video could have been shortened a lot, but I hope its a one-off fault and not a sign of bigger issues.
Im not a C8 fan myself, but I hope those who are can buy a trouble free car to enjoy

We're basing the C8's reliability off of sh*tty videos now? Holy sh*t. GM is in for a world of hurt.

It's because of some people that can't afford it and need any excuse to bash it and convince themselves that it's a bad car somehow and they should hold off until the C10 comes out!
These guys make it sound like they were running to their local Chevy dealer to put a deposit and now because of a useless video on Utube
they are holding off now!!!

I am am not sure if you are referring to me as the person who can’t afford it and is bashing the car.

I just posted a link to a video that I did not take and thought others might find it interesting that there was some sort of issue with the car.

My deposit has been made a long time ago and that hasn’t changed.

Okay, my synopsis. Both went to Subway. Person in the White C8 decided they wanted McDs and left. Dude in Black C8 was sitting in the car munching on a delicious steak and cheese sub and liked hearing the startup roar of the engine. Eventually, Whtie C8 comes back after eating a McRib and is just commenting on how good the car sounds while dude in black C8 continues chowing down and enjoying the revs of the engine. I don't know, could be wrong. And yeah, the videographer is a goon commenting the guy can't drive a stick.
