WhistlinDiesel decided to find out, but a normal road test was never going to be enough.
The C8 gets thrown into an outrageous durability test that starts with damage before the real testing has even begun. From there, it races a Chevy Silverado, gets pushed on a dyno, and is driven straight into a massive storm with the roof off.
Then things get even worse.
The Corvette goes through an automatic car wash topless, gets its mirrors and trim manhandled by hand, and has its doors repeatedly slammed to see what breaks first.
And because apparently none of that was enough, they attach a horse trailer to the Corvette and try to use it like a pickup truck.
That is when the stress on the car, particularly around its aluminum structure, starts becoming much more obvious.
It is chaotic, destructive, and somehow gets more ridiculous as the video goes on.
Watch the full video to see just how much punishment the C8 survives, and what finally starts giving way.
