How many times can you say safety net?

Exhaust can be set up where it isn't connect to drive mode.

Just got my 2019 C7 Grand Sport, so thank you, very informative!!!

Gold on black is ace, think 1978 Darmah 900.

Red taillights? Every car has them. Even exotics. Kinda cool GM decided those should be stock for Z

Lighter wheels should reduce the difference between crank HP and wheel HP. AI search gave a rough estimate that each pound of unsprung weight saved is 0.9-1.3 HP. If willing to spend $21k for a 230 HP TT boost, spending $11k for CF wheels to save roughly 37-53 HP (for 41 pound reduction) isn't as great of a value but it helps.

do rocks bounce off and prevent from chips when installing PPF ?

Z06 extra HP over the GS has exponentially high losses at high speed due to air resistance and is useless at low speed because it can't get the power down. The GS will literally be just a car length behind the Z06 at any speed or acceleration. The Z06 was built for those guys with more money than brain cells. GM knows their audience. 😆 For all you clowns out there, both cars are identical. Its the engines that are different. Can literally install a supercharger on a GS and call it a Z06.

Any plans of doing a long term review on your GS? LOVE the corvette content!! This POV was great!

You’re awesome brother. I am new to the Vette world. Have the same GSport Admiral Blue. Learning a lot from your content. #mikey from Rhode Island

Sorry to hear about your mishap Fred! I currently own my 58th bike since age 11. It's a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. Well balanced and moderately priced. I bought it on clearance last year. You can get a new one for around $15k now... She's a beast. I think you'd like the bike.

Dang, that was a scary story on the bike. Glad you came out of it relatively unscathed. BTW, my Eray finally got here. Unlike others, we get mild winters so I'll be able to drive it a bit over the winter. I'm very much looking forward to your Lemons racing stories to come. What an obscure problem to find and fix on that car. Was the ECU cutting off fuel or spark or both due to the failed interlock?

Glad that you are OK and the bike can be fixed. Amazing crash story (sorry, but I had to laugh at how you told the story). Looking forward to future vids.

Fred. What happened to your plan to get a C8 Z06?

I’m glad to see you’re looking well today. That feeling of not being able to breathe is one of the worst feelings you can ever have!!! Mother and others used to say, if you have a bike and ride it long enough, eventually, you’ll have an incident like yours. Fell Better My Friend!!!

Hey Fred!

Hey Fred

I don't at all get the desire for the engine (actually the plastic engine cover) to be visible. It is kind of like walking around with your zipper down. I find the HTC to be much cleaner looking.

Oh Lord, 🙏🏾✝️☝🏽 Please, let mine be sooner rather than later. TY It's been 7 years since I had to sell my baby, 2006 M-B E55, due to a cycling accident... Serious accident🤕😴😢 But God☝🏽✝️🙌🏾 is good and I'm alive to🥰✝️💪🏽 tell the tale. 63 orbits and after the fire, the❤️‍🔥 fire still burns, the❤ grows older but never even learns... Son directing me to C7 GS Vette. As an ex MX racer and future kart raceri can tell you that if HP overrides handing you'll go slower than in a more powerful car. If you can't drive a slow car really fast then you have no business driving a fast car because what ends up happening is a fast card gets to the terminal velocity really really quick and it will catch you off guard whether on the street or on the racetrack. I've watched many videos of the different types of Corvettes and almost all the pro drivers come back stay in the grand sport is the best overall package to allow you more speed. A faster machine is always harder to manage, like a 500cc dirt bike. Those are the biggest gnarliest most powerful motocross bike and yet there are times on the 125cc dirt bikes turn faster lap times because the writer is able to bless through the irregularities on the track and carry more corner speed. Truth be told unless you're a drag racer corner speed is everything. I think the ZR1 and the Z06 are better drag race weapons than they are road truck weapons. I'm way old enough to remember when Kawasaki's had unbelievable horsepower and because the handling was so far behind those things kept hurting people. You're less likely to get hurt on four wheels and on two but the concept is exactly the same, if the horsepower overrides the handling you better make them sure you are a pro or guardrails and grass spinning off the track will be the rest of your day.

cant wait to see the bimmer on track at a future track day event

Great coverage 🎉👏🏽

I’ve been buying Corvettes my whole life and on more than one occasion Ijust left the top panels (2 back in the day) in my garage. I actually had some serious regrets over this decision more than once, removing the seats and carpet to dry out after being caught a considerable distance from home in some very heavy rain.

Looking to pick one up, or owned of course. Not paying 50k for a car. That's just me. David this video for when i get the NEW love of my life. Thx 4da 411. Safe on the road bruh. 💪🏻😎😎💪🏾

I like that someone can't see any of the engine mods on the HTC. Also, if it starts to rain when you have the top down/removed, you can simply slow down and put the top up without stopping. The big one for me is the looks, I just think the HTC looks much nicer, and even more so with the black top option.

I ordered mine the exact same way. What colour did you pick

Bless me with a one wheel

Fuel, Air, Compression, Spark

Race mode for launch control ?

FRED!!! GREAT TO SEE YOU!!! Hope you get your Starting Issue worked out. Is the FUEL FILTER “Good” & Properly Installed in the Right Direction? I had a 1973 Cuda that the Voltage Regulator was giving me problems. I know it was replaced 3 times. What was worse, I had terrible luck with the Bypass Hose. It went out at least 4 times. I ended up carrying Duct Tape, Tools, Hose Clamps and an Extra Bypass Hose and a gallon jug of Antifreeze. After the 3rd replacement, I needed a dependable car, so I got an Off the Showroom Floor 1975 Silver Trans Am. That car got me faithfully back and forth to Main Campus at Penn State. But I did get pulled over by a State Cop for passing an 18 wheeler at about 15-20 mph over the speed limit. He was nice and gave me a warning. Wish I could have kept that 1973 Lemon! I got an email today from MacMulkin advising me they had some allocations and I should submit my build to them. I’m at 403 on their Wait List, but I’m really not in any hurry to get a ZO6. I’d like to see the pricing on the ZR1. I’m still Number One at my local Dealership on their Wait List for both the ZO6 and the ZR1. The chance they will get a ZR1 is pretty slim. Again, great you had some time to do a Video. Looks like that racing would be fun, but as I recall you are around 6’ 4” or better, so you’d be a tight fit. Take care and enjoy the weather while it lasts. I’m off to Aruba for a week pretty soon. Nice place to vacation! You should try it sometime in the future.

Good to hear from you. Love your stories!

So excited to see that you are back! I'm particularly intrigued by your "next fast car" project. As for me, I'm pretty jazzed about the Eray now in my garage and getting it ready for autocrossing in '25. 🙂

Welcome back Fred!

Fred - We missed you! Your car build issues are a pain, but I am sure you will get it sorted. Next race season will be a blast. Looking forward to you future vids.

Freddy…. Let’s go… looking good. Any kind of car or plane project I just add 2 years.

heeeessssss back!

To the cheeps to the expensive that generation of corvette is just kind of perfect. And 400hp is good enough to enjoy it and have fun.

Nice work Fred, hope you remember me (Rashid) 💻

They are similar priced right now and im also leaning towards the grand sport. I dont need the extra 200hp for a car that corners exactly the same

Sure coming from a guy who does this for a living . Haahaa

I dont see no one here mentioned how much depreciation Grand Sport has over any Z06. Waste of money overall. Z06 carries value and doesnt depreciate as much.

Got xpel on my Ranger’s hood instead of an ugly looking, leaf catching, needs holes made, stone deflector.

Listening to this video with $20k worth of debt is depressing

Fords ppf is 400 before install fees. it’s not the whole car but it’s several portions so I’m wondering what kind of crap they are using lol

The only con is price. I’ve had several 911 GT3s. The Z07 Z06 package in tour mode is a much more comfortable ride than the GT3. The tour mode is pure heaven for riding

I noticed you had your Corvette delivered to your residence. Do you recall what they charged? You said you were a couple of states away. I am in Vermont. Just curious what the charge was. Thanks in advance.

I was just watching your video on how you could afford your Corvette. I was wondering if they charged you for the delivery? And if they did, what did they charge? And what state did they deliver it to? Thanks in advance.

I’m just wondering what did they charge you for delivery? And what state did they deliver it to?

I owned the Stingray coupe and traded for HTC. Aside from all pros for HTC, the biggest difference for me was 'injector ticking noise'. HTC eliminates it with the plastic cover and the lid on top of the engine! I also hear the exhaust better by lowering the rear window compared to coupe. Wonder if this is the case for Z06 too, appreciate Z06 coupe owners comments⁉

good to see you back!!

Do you know what each seat weighs?
