Corvette vs. Nissan Versa: Practicality Challenge

[phillypwner]

Matt - Saw this video when it first came out, but just watched it again and noticed the guitars on your wall. Are you in to Martin Guitar? I can hook it up. Lemme know

[PattyManZ28]

Haha thats exactly why I took my back seats out of my Z28

[OddballVette]

That is exactly how I talk about and defend my c5 haha

[BlackGT45th]

Vettes are pretty practical. Can you drive your family/friends around? No, but why the hell would you want to?

[ThPresidentsays]

South Carolina plates. No shit that is awesome. Love TheSmokingTire and Drive! From a USC Gamecock.

[couar351]

./..................i'm buying a VERSA

[banddude121]

Why not just nail the planks and flat piece of the ramp together?

[bobbybob3680]

also, whoever edited this video is a jack ass fucker. cant even be bothered with muting the clip where you stick the camera out the top? fuck tard.

[Acidicheartburn]

@bobbybob3680 I think he was showing how quiet the car is with the top down on the highway.

[bobbybob3680]

what the mother fuck are you talking about fat ass? fuel economy? my black ass on a runny day.

[mikekazik1]

Lol, the Nissan Versa is more practical, that's what it comes down to. the corvette is a toy that is more about showing off than being a car that most people would use because it's simple and practical.

[turbo311]

"I like this level bc it makes a cool noise when you pull it," hahaha. HOly shit Matt I love your Corvette.

[ozy18708]

Everything's dirtier in the south

[thatvermontkid13]

is that the corvette at 6:22?

[xterra43]

thats a nasty Vette..but. the ramp setup must get old real quick



[Sptsmn700]

Hahaha did anyone else crack up about this little handle they put in the middle and he just rips the e-brake!?

[yourmomisthestig]

Whats the blue bike in the garage at 2:29?

[MikSane]

@yourmomisthestig suzuki sv650

[yournamehere832]

This is why I drive a souped up pickup truck. 4wd, and can carry as many people/stuff that I can fit in the bed.

[WhenWeRide666]

dudee i invy or car im only 14 but i know more about cars then most people in my city. corvettes have been my favorite car since i was 5 i wish to own a zr1 some day unless that idea is changed by future corvettes. how much is your corvette worth?

[bartsomething]

matt is fucken awesome

[chris000089]

the versa must be a rental

[rioross]

The Nissan guys also knocked him for the way his driveway is built. That's just stupid. It's like calling a Ferrari slow because you pass by it on the freeway going 80 mph when its only cruising at 60.

[rioross]

So... the Nissan guys says that the car isn't practical because it was parked too close to the wall?

it swallowed up two golf bags, a large suitcase and another bag! far more than the versa did.

[mrantis]

You may have 6 sex positions is the Versa, but there is no way a girl would ever get into your car in the first place.

[eightycc]

Haha "I've got peace of mind"

[Transane]

hahahah.... "this lever makes a cool sound when you pull it"

[rainmikamuraishot]

oh cool a toolish car for a tool to drive (corvette)

[hmnieu]

messing up the rental car lol

[SuzukiKid400]

6:05 "one of my favourite features in the car" LMFAO!

[thatguy123444]

where was the location this was filmed, I think I reconize the area

[yochickwantsme]

The corvette attracts more women, hence family, then equals practicality. There is nothing practical about being single with no friends in a Versa. No use for the extra seats and trunk space...

[dbracr27]

@yochickwantsme but with the family and friends you gain from a corvette. 1.. how are you going to drive your family around assuming you have a wife and 1 or more kids. and 2.. you wouldnt be able to drive all your friends at the same time assuming you actualy do make more than 1 friend..

[notecages25]

@dbracr27 that's easy, you tell them all to go screw themselves and drive their own cars. easy.

[dbracr27]

@notecages25 and then they realize your a dick friend and then.. are no longer your friend?

[notecages25]

@dbracr27 LOL, dick friends are made for each other? BBC Top Gear is prime example.

[whodat1791]

"One of my favorite features in this car is this handle right here in the middle. The car makes a really cool sound if you pull it." ***SREEEAAAACCCHHH!!!!!***

[69mrbrightside691]

haha i have to do the same thing for my corvette

[FabergeApple]

why didnt u move the plywood LOL

[rikkilambo]

the Versa is less practical than i had thought

[Vitaminous]

@rikkilambo bit irrelevant given that this is the sedan.

[12emeirs]

dont you dare insult the corvettes design!!!!

[TexasNova]

I drive an 07 as a daily driver. It is just me and is very practical. 05 to present have automatic trunk latches

[JustinLuuuuu]

This is the real Top Gear USA...

[bobbybob3680]

@JustinLuuuuu oh yeah. a youtube channel totally has presence over top gear. lawl.

[pballer2005]

@JustinLuuuuu i feel like im watching james may and jeremy clarkson argue it out over one of their challenges

[odysseybmx17]

turn volume up at 9:30 for awesome corvette engine

[tinandac]

who freaking cares!!!!!! everyone's definition of practical is different from one another. the question is....is your car under lease, payments(what interest rate) or paid in full?????? that is the question.

[RacMyCoon]

SEXUAL POSITIONS TEST ! This show just made me say ...FUCK TOP GEAR !

[katanamast279]

Your corvette has a surprising big amount of trunk space.

[osito010493]

this is the most stupid and pointless video i've ever ever seen!! -_-'

[chevyrules3]

his corvette sounds amazing

I would just make a ramp and leave it there.

the fact that it is so air tight means no possibilities of leaks?

also. is that his only car? I'd think he would have a truck or something.

[trollsALWAYSneedmeds]

LMFAO why compare muscle to jap crap?

[TiceMinistries]

this is great.. it  show me the cons of a vette..(behind the scense)

but ta.. the vette is still on the dream list. and Farah's right that sound is worth it.

[troutman747]

Haha, that was excellent guys! You have a new fan.

[PaulNat360]

here's a bizarre idea:

have the Versa converted to RWD and replace its engine with a V8! =)

[neerredd]

@PaulNat360 or just buy a vette, instead of driving an ugly ass econobox

[dannnysk8ts]

another question: first one to lose the cops!! lol

[dryan2]

What gear did you do that burnout in?

[xGUNxBUNNYx]

And then you start the car and that makes it all worth it. LOL Geat!

[jabba12000]

Nice vette man! Me and my buddy have a similar argument. I have a 400+rwhp 300zx tt and he has an altima coupe 3.5SE and we always argue on which is better to own. In my opinon all the ramp building and only haveing two seats is well worth it for that vette over the versa.

[theguy1224]

I wonder if matt knew his door wasnt entirely closed just as he was leaving for the in and out burger at 8:47..

[iSOBigD]

The Corvette is a great car, but practical it is not, lol. The driveway part made me laugh though, I thought it was a joke. Matt, you can afford a nice modified Corvette but you can't afford some cement and 3 minutes of work? Come on!

[tuugfo]

@iSOBigD the trunk is huge

[Eggdude16]

the C5 Corvette has 1 cupholder........

[PaulNat360]

dude, i think you need to add a permanent ramp made of cement/concrete on your driveway so you won't have to put those pieces of wood there all the time.

this video really made me laugh so hard i almost had cardiac arrest.

[VetteAholicZ06]

Awesome C5 Bro!!! WOOO!!

[myirocz1989]

Can u please respond how many miles your corvette has as of today??

[Lebanesefinest]

farah is lebanese

[timg455]

Corvette would be perfect for a clam bake, its air tight!

[AlexDrums25]

Do more stuff like this, reminds me of the "cocking about" stuff on Top Gear, but with more American flare

[21fretsalute]

How do you get onto other driveways?

[ghettopettingzoo]

Its funny to me because i had a versa while my corvette was in the shop and it couldn't even do a burn out it would just drag the rear tires.

[peterjg001]

hey mike im 18, looking for a sports car as a first car and i really like the c5, i was wondering how much power do you think I could get with just a cat back exhaust and a cold air intake because I dont want to spend to much money

[TSmitt00]

filming with a gopro?

[Andreaslillfreakact]

What make are those wheels?

[HarrymanGR]

o kagouras me to versa xD

[musicofthesoul85]

Hey Matt, at my old home I had the same problem with the car scrapping the driveway. Instead of building the ramp every time you want to leave the house, why not run down to home depot and pick up a bag of quikrete concrete. They are about $5/bag and its a small job that you can do on your own. It's an inexpensive investment that will save you tons of time and energy from building the ramp every time.

[satanicrawrofdoom]

can you fit your head in the vette with the top down?

[slim5391]

aBSOLUTELY THE GAYEST VIDEO HANDS DOWN!

[wideopen704]

@slim5391 you are absolutely the gayest person hands down.

[toddlerlou]

what mods are done to that car

[streetracingrazvan]

nice

[THEARMEDLIFE]

hey matt have you ever heard of a way to fix that whole open the door to close the hatch thing ? also could you do a review of your vette there are no good C5 reviews on youtube and i'm intersted in what upgrades you've done to make 421hp i'm a bolt ons only kinda guy and i wanna hit 400whp cheap and easy but keeping it reliable is most important

[chris14091975]

At 6min 13 sec lol

[bond1011]

I LOVE my corvette, i have a 1991 ZR1, and i upgraded it to pump out 450 HP! and i agree with farah, practicality depends on the car, if my friends need a ride, ill tell one to get in the passanger while the girl sits on my lap! XD

[LiLTMac123]

thats your corvette in front of the versa at 6:22 lol

[witchdoctor88]

I approve of these challenges. Was gonna buy a Prius, but bought a C5 just because of Matt's Prius-vs-C5 comparison video.

[vetteburna]

Did you ever run it on a dyno after all these upgrades?

[TheSmokingTire]

@vetteburna yes, the car makes 421 hp at the wheels

[85funnyguy]

you can stack things you have bubble

[mattbhill]

corvette is totally a more practical car, but the ramp should not count as time.

you need to get a steel plate instead of 2x4's and plywood, then you wouldnt have to move it all the time.

I have to say 500 hp sounds a little high unless thats at the crank

[cozzey05]

@mattbhill its at the crank, not wheels

[MrChompenstein]

Oh ya, and those proformance industries wheels still look fantastic.

[MrChompenstein]

I don't think this video is fair, the corvette is more practical than matt makes it look. Putting the case in the passenger seat would be difficult for any car parked like that. The driveway thing is matts fault, he obviously should have bought a better driveway, you can't blame the car. Probably should have left the normal seat belt in (is it legal not to?). He had 2.7 miles in a racing seat and stiff suspension to realize his wallet was in his pocket. Also, was his door open when he drove off?

[sgtGrif]

"one of my favorite features in this car is uhh this handle right here...it makes a really cool sound when you pull it..." ...lol...i bet the vette will make a few more sounds though

[GetRichOrDieTrying33]

That is a Dream car men ! It's freaking nice !

[cars300sl]

matt is that actually ur corvett

[terryrouge]

lol 6:05

[KeepingModern]

Couldn't help but to say "are you fu**ing serious" when I saw the ramp being built. LOL But for fun factor I can't disagree with the Vette.

[ujusgotownd]

versa killed it in the burnout

[MrSpartan117fan]

why is farah in front when they are pulling the handbreak?

[raceguy514]

@MrSpartan117fan

I know I saw that.

[TheSmokingTire]

@MrSpartan117fan we shot some of the rolling shots after the challenge was completed, just to fill in the gaps. continuity fail on our part.

[TheGiraffe19]

@TheSmokingTire Hey Matt how come no new videos?

[jamestaggreen2]

A nissan versa i mean wow i would personally nvr drive it. Its reliable yeah but like idk its deff not a car that i would drive lol its soo weird

[JayPaulie]

lol.... sponsored by Tropicana 1:17

[roi432]

fuck the versa and hello to the vette

[Dearayne]

Fresca.

[guitarshredda2]

definitely one of the coolest channels on youtube

thanks for the awesome vids and i love the corvette!

[SUBLIMEfan111]

Hey Matt,

I just turned 20,

I had a B5 Audi S4 when I was 16, but I had to sell to pay for school.

Now I saved my money, and I want two cars.

Any Ideas one what I should buy? I would very much appreciate your advice.

[RodmanArtest91]

Awesome show! One of the most bad-ass vettes I've ever seen

[n9athan]

nice bike and car

[Speciestimmy1990]

ya tell me that's practical after one buffalo winter lol

[zdeckich]

What rims are those and what racing harness is that? and is it held by a cage or harness bar?

[sammyd976]

funny ass shit guys.  great show!!!

[maddbikerboy]

how much hp in your vette its nice

[rcnacura]

your dick must be extremely small since your not very "practical" with your brain.

[BAflyer12]

HAve you ever had your Vette on the dyno if so how much power is it putting out?

[redrider123463]

easier way to get your vette out of the drive way is to get 2 peices of somewhat wide wood and cut them a bit, and leave the one near the garage there and use it onto the street. make that process much fast

[thecitysitsinflames]

Dude, your burnout makes me think of this one time i was doing a burnout in a parking lot, and a cop pulls up and wants to give me a ticket. i thought quickly and told the cop it was my first time driving a stick. he somehow believed me and let me go!

[55js]

so far this is the nicest c5 corvette i've ever seen!

[spongebob773]

ramps!? Holy crap matt. I would of never thought that would help. I should try it with my Camaro. haha thanks for the idea.

[wickedstick3]

hahahaha I agree with the guy in the vette, thats why I took of my back seats on my firebird. So no one could ask for rides :P Who needs friends who need to be driven around everwere.

[lainsixfo]

if only they got a hb versa they would have fit all that stuff in the trunk np.

[atown701]

Thats probably one of the nicest vettes though

[NARbrobra]

hahaha building ramps to get out!!

[EvilKratos89]

@a0987312245 Yes

[SagaraSouske]

@TheSmokingTire I believe there are smaller aftermarket seats offered by sparco and corbeau that are similar in size to stock corvette seats that also offer thicker side bolsters for racing purposes.

[SagaraSouske]

I wonder if this is shot in California, if so I wonder how did you get you exhaust modifications to pass smog?

[nopstnz8]

SAF dude! Love this show. You have one sick Vette, and i'm usually not a fan of C5's all that much.

[harrylook]

A car you don't want to drive b/c it's boring isn't practical, imho. I will sacrifice space and mpg for thrills and happiness.

[lamontrene]

why not do an episode on matt's corvette?

[DeadlyDre]

Corvette practicality challange = FAIL! (though the trunk space was pretty nice :)

[danblackracing]

This is funny!! LOL I have a Nissan Versa that will get the Impul supercharger AND we will begetting a 1999-2002 vetee :D

[IcemanEntertainment]

gotta love the way that vett sound!! i love it

[ronspersonalfitness]

LOL at building the ramp and the 7 positions possible in the versa.

[nenjalj]

I wanna work for TheSmokingTire!

[Necroman666]

corvette is way more fun

[blaziankhmer]

wtf lmao with the ramp, matt with the money you making why don't you add some concrete to level that part of the driveway????!?!!

[Darkdragon5091]

Love to be the cameraman with matts vette

[TomJackson986]

the build quality is better LMAO

[TommyM818]

hey how low is yur car when it was in the video?? cuz im planning on getting a 370z and im worried about humps and driveways like those and i dont want to be scraping the car. do you think the 370z's short wheelbase would help?

[jmicm13]

what size rims and tires are on that vette? they look good

[TheSmokingTire]

@jmicm13 the front wheels are 19x10.5, the rears are 20x12. The front width tires are 285's, the rear 315's.

[slurpy911]

i like ur videos there quite interesting

[leotllz]

Nice Vette! What type of exhaust do you have?

[TheSmokingTire]

@leotllz kooks long tubes, trick flow x-pipe, GHL race catback

[Greendude33]

@TheSmokingTire Damn Matt your Vette is amazing, that sound from the exhaust is insane. I never really liked the C5 but the work you did on this one is impressive.

[PaintballOO7]

Corvettes Rule!!! Its practical but more importantly its FUN!!! I use mine as a daily driver no problem!

[rhody2442]

ummmm yeah.... f*ck practicality lol, live the dream.

[RaNdY04gt]

dude i love your car. what have you done to it???

[TheSmokingTire]

@RaNdY04gt lots of things. Suspension, brakes, engine, interior, wheels, lighting, everything you can do without forced induction.

[Darkdragon5091]

nice corvette,lol the ramp is funny good ep

[gsaini100]

hey look its matt's corvette 11:43

[dk038967]

that versa is a hertz rental hahahahaha no woder they dont care and pull the e brake hahahahaha

[Ichliebegermany]

not gonna lie if i had alot of money id buy the corvette. it does have power and speed, but the versa is a really good car. ive driven my sisters versa, handles nicely. sure you cant go 120 like a vette can, but its a very good and practical car

[vabeachbully]

@a0987312245 those headlights make it look like a nsx..kinda

[TheSmokingTire]

@vabeachbully I changed the headlights because the aerodynamics at night were terrible with the pop-ups

[krocialblack]

@TheSmokingTire Well actually the vette has enough room for 4 people. One time I told my friends if they wanted to ride with me they'd have to get into the back, they got at pillow and some sheets and they did lol XD they told me that was the most confertble ride they've ever took. And they told me it was more confertble than a Prius lmao. So vette wins everytime. Not only it goes up against supercars, but it also knock heads with pratical cars... I love being a 19 year old corvette owner =)

[MiKePaRkEr235]

dude, best episode ever haha

[brannyK051]

Matt Farah is awesome and so is The Smoking Tire! Keep up the good work guys!

[johncarson9115]

GetOutAndSkate,

Actually, it's not me. As you can see, Matt the Fugly Bald Jew Fuckface has no life. All this fugly Jew does is, go around auto tracks or trade shows and bum off cars from people who are really dedicated for improving their cars.

This baldy Jew is like a parasite, as almost all cheesy jews do: he feeds off of others' fortunes.

[xxMafia101]

@johncarson9115 . You are fucking pathetic. Matt the fuglu bald jew fuckface? How long did it take for you to think that one up? You don't know shit about cars. And from what I can see, you have an unhealthly obsession with Matt. Just end your life know kid. Save yourself the suffering.

[ratmtbola]

@johncarson9115

Talk about racism ...? Idiot

[johncarson9115]

This fat, ugly bald fucking Jew doesn't know shit about cars. All this motherfucker does is take along a couple of his Jew slaves and a shitty camera and bum off of people who are really into cars.

What a fucking loser, this motherfucker is!

[GetOutAndSkateNDL]

@johncarson9115 you have no life.

[carguy53]

Where's your car? Post something up. Prove Matt wrong rather than running your mouth.

[dude486]

That vette is a straight beast Matt!!!

[sosotightt]

this bald head dude is an idiot

[4jiggy1]

i love this episode !
