Did you catch this one?
A stock C8 Corvette just launched 110 feet over a dirt ramp - and yes, it was as insane as it sounds. With Travis Pastrana guiding the chaos and Jim York behind the wheel, this stunt was less “commuter car” and more "Muscle Car Mayhem Meets Evel Knievel."
The Jump Heard 'Round the Gearhead World
Pastrana and York didn’t waste time with simulations. At 68 mph, the C8 hit the ramp and soared over 110 feet - landing nose-first, blowing the airbags, and still driving away. That’s GM engineering holding its own against gravity and stupidity (the fun kind).

No Mods. No Cage. No Mercy.
This wasn’t a show car with aftermarket upgrades - it was a stock LT2 6.2L V8 C8 with the Tremec 8-speed DCT. No lift kits, no roll cage, just guts and grit. Pastrana tested the ramp with his dirt bike first (because of course he did) and then gave the Corvette the green light to fly.
What’s Playing After a Jump Like That?
We cue up Mötley Crüe – “Kickstart My Heart.”
That opening riff? Hits just like a ramp launch: fast, loud, and unapologetic. Add it to your drive playlist now.
Ooh, are you ready now? Whoa yeah, kickstart my heart, give it a start...
Why This Matters (Besides Being Awesome)
This stunt isn’t just for clicks. It shows the C8 isn’t a fragile sports car- it’s a muscle missile built to take a beating. Chassis? Solid. Alignment? Barely flinched. Driveaway? Affirmative.
