Procharcher has 100 ft./lb. torque more than the ZO6 as well.
ProCharged C8 for me easily.
Why?
@@703SpeedI'm highly considering both these options plus Lingenfelters 2650 kit w/upgraded valve train, drive shafts to get the 3 yr warranty. Or do their new 700 NA package which is heads cam & 95mm throttle body add AR headers, high flow cats & AWE touring exhaust to get over 600 hp & 535 tq per Lingenfelter.
Its a VERY HARD decision as traction plays a huge role from here. My 16 ATSV w/501 hp & tq at the wheels just murders the tires. I have PS4S on and they break loose all the time. I love the Z06 sound and exclusivity ❤!! The pure rarity makes it unobtainium and that much more special. I love Forced induction ad my last 2 cars Tuned Mk7.5 Golf R tuned to 400hp/380tq & the ATSV. The turbo punch is an Adrenaline ride! However kills tires quickly. The heads & cam package for $15k is $10k cheaper than the 2650 & 4k than the procharger kit or about these #s.
The heads cam has enough ho & tq to do the job but not enough to have to worry about excessive throttle control & killing the tires.
Thanks for this great content Ken!
:)
I like your video and coverage is pretty dang good! One thing I was missing in your comments was the TORQUE you felt at low-end on the two cars? Thank you for YOUR VIDEOS! :)
I wish you would have used each car's internal PDR timings to get 0-60 and 0-100 times. Thats what we all want to know.
Aint nobody gettin a Zo6 for 170k.... I betcha 200k for anything but black.
Was at the dealership this morning; they wanted $189k; $50k mark up 😣
Oh and it didn’t have the Z07 package smh
Man that Z06 sounds amazing
Indeed
I paid MSRP for my 2LZ coupe. Front lift, machined face wheels and premium color. Cost was $126k, less the $5k rebate after 6mo ownership.
My 3LZ/Z07 is literally being built tomorrow.
Matte black because of Stealth PPF with Adrenaline Red dipped interior and every piece of carbon fiber money could buy including the Rims. I currently have a 2020 3LT/Z51 Stingray that will live right next to the Blk Z ✌🏼 ❤ProCharger❤
I REALLY, REALLY wish someone would do an all-out supercharger/turbo 0-60 and 1/4 mile testing for the C8s. Before I spend any money to put on a power adder, I want to know ALL the numbers. Horsepower is one thing, but how does it really perform?!?@🧐 by the numbers...
Hmm. I just don’t want to break someone else’s car on a launch. Lol
@@703Speed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is a REALLY good joke. Its not like Emilia or Lingenfelter have EVER done thaaaaaat before. Or Jason C from Hagerty has done ANY Z06 1/4 mile runs vs exotics or Eray vs Z06.
No, shucks Jim Bob were u born yesterday? R u new to the Innerweb compooter thingaboob?
@boywonderrr71 👋🏽 hi Boy Wonder goberville.... just to give back to your niceties slim, you obviously aren't well versed on the standard power adders put on stock cars. The people you mentioned are all out when it comes to hopped up C8s. Not your average persons cars. Many companies have provided turbos and superchargers for the C8, but I believe that the real-world daily numbers over base ARE NOT there. (0-60 mph, mpg, top speed...) Prove me wrong, Cleatus... I've done my homework, go do yours junior.
I watched a video, turbo Stingray vs Z06 on a drag strip. The Stingray won. The video is here on RUclips.
C8Z06 all the way which is what I did. No voided warranty, better suspension/handling, better sounding, reliability, exterior styling, resale value & N/A.
Resale value is unproven at this point, esp considering stealers still demand $30K+, and you can't sell for 6 months.
@@shoobidyboop8634 resale value will definitely be better than a stock or modded Stingray
@@kaylak1275 Remains to be seen, esp if the seller paid $100K over MSRP originally. That's what I'm waiting for, sellers to come out of the 6-month flip restriction.
Reliability? The LT6 has been blowing up all over the place sadly, whereas the good ol push rod American muscle will handle boost no issues
Rather have the z06. Which is what i did. My z06 is in production now!
Congrats! I have another year to go. I hope.
Awesome! Did you get it at MSRP? What options did you go with?
@@703Speed Yes i got it at MSRP from macmulkin. I didn't get any options lol. Just a base model 1LZ in ceramic matrix gray with adrenline red interior and black wheels. I can't wait!
My 3LZ/Z07 is literally being built tmrw. Matte Blk because of “Stealth PPF”with Adrenaline Red dipped interior and every piece of carbon fiber $$ could buy including the rims..
Hell yeah. Sounds sick@@2020matrix8
Imagine how psychotic the C8 ZR1 will be.💀
It’s going to be INSANE lol. I’d expect it to be as fast as a mclaren 720
Loaded c8 is slightly over $100k
Love that you love it!
It was badass! Y’all have any other cool pro charged cars I could do a video with?
That red interior has major glare. how bad is it driving with it?
I would get the zo6 . Make it a bad ass n/a build , full ti exhaust, headers , ported tb’s , flex fuel e85, cid or frank max effort heads and some custom spec cams . Easy 700+ whp n/a!!!!
That would be nuts
Would definitely rather have the base model Procharged. Can't wait to see prochargers slapped onto the Z06 motor, wild that they're making 670hp out of a 5.5 liter stock
That would be sick. I wonder how the Z06 motors hold up to boost
@703Speed honestly never thought of it, haven't even checked to see what compression is on the zo6 motor, might be a tad high compression for boost, didn't think about even checking that out
@@703SpeedGM dropped the compression & went to cross plane crank for the turbo turbo ZR1. Rumors has it theyre olaying with different displacement mules from 4.2L and up. When I visited Ruck Corvette Conti he said theres a new engine setup coming before the ZR1 was announced and there will be a LONG build run for C8 with the Grand Sport coming soon before C9 models are introduced in 2030 or later as they want all the $$$ they can get out of C8 and to get the production #s to where they should be 40k Stingrays, 15k Erays 15k Z06, 4k-7k ZR1
Was this shot on a "closed to wildlife" road course? I'd be a little apprehensive about hitting Bambi or Rocky or Bullwinkle or one of the TMNT out there.
I'm getting a Magnuson LPE TVS2650 for my C8 Z51
Badass!
Did you get the 2650 Lingenfelter kit installed? Did you get the Warranty? What tires do you have and are they good enough or need Cup2s or R?
I wonder if you can ProCharged an E-Ray and how it will stack up?
Paragon just teamed up with Lingenfelter in Eray 2650 build.
Nice review. Why do you blur the gauge clusters?
🚨👮🏻♂️
What he said lol
You gotta upgrade the Procharged C8's exhaust. I had my c8's stock exhaust 2 years before I got the Borla ATAK. I regret not doing it day one.
Hope you retuned your car as youll gain hp & tq. If you did headers too thats another 30- 40 tq if American Racing per Steve @ LMR
No way i’d spend $30k for a Pro Charger lol = $120k, & pass up a base C8ZO6 at $111k … whoever would do that doesn’t know Corvette
I'll bet that $30k includes more than just the procharger. There was work done to the DCT and clutches to handle the extra power.
Where you finding a base ZO6 for $111k at? Especially 5 months ago?
I need the 3LT/Z packages and there are many items that are needed such as the front lift & GT2 seats, PDR. The 1LZ is base no rear view cameras no blind side monitoring which is much needed. Plus the front cameras only on the 2LZ and up.
BAD PRICE ON THE ZO6 LITTLE LITE ON THE PRICE
@@whatta7793dudes a moron
ProCharger Z06 needed! 😛
Now that is what we call the C8 ZR1 😂
Sadly the compression is too high & the engine is a race engine with crazy tolerances. Make sure to warm up your Z06 or you'll nuke your engine.
I would rather have the supercharged Stingray but not at the cost. To supercharge C7 was 3.5K-$5K and now they want 25K for C8 ?!?
Yeah, crazy right
It’ll drop with more production
@@703Speeddude I own a LT3 Z51 C7 outright and they almost got me for that Z06. They wanted 155K for LZ3 Z07. Black Rims, big wing and all black interior. They wanted to give me 43K for mine but when I thought about that car note... I passed.
Interest rates still insane and I'm basically 800 credit score at 33. I can't justify paying a higher car note than a mortgage when I own a Vette already lol. I wanted it so bad tho.
Keep in mind my Vette is a 15 and I didn't even have 20k miles on it yet!
Just got a follow from a fellow member of NOVA
Thanks brother 🙏🏼
My E Ray will ease on by that Z06 for a lot less money and 3LT loaded 122k OH can I get that super procharger on the E Ray? hum?
I was thinking the same. Supercharge the E-Ray.
OOO, this is it.. Procharged E-Ray.. We would need to set up a race for all 3
@@703Speed all in
sounds like a prius.........LOL
A lot less money? Literally 3k difference in MSRP than a z06
Z06 all day. Better stance, NA, wider body, and much better sound.
and you drive what? …a Toyota Tercel….you don’t even have any experience with either - admit it
Next time do a few 0 to 60 and quater mile pulls so we can see whats truly faster. The z06 starts at 106k and the stingray starts at 67k so does the 30k for the procharger make it faster then the zo6 which costs about 40k more then the stingray.
Hmm.. Good idea. I think we need to line them up at a drag strip
They’re not drag cars lol…
Procharger shouldn't be 30k..if you pay anything near that your getting ripped off.
Procharger for $30k? Lmao.
Get a used one, cheap kit and pay someone cool to fab/weld everything then find a tuner. If you pay 10k you overpaid like crazy.
I know this is a Vette channel but you should do a S550 Gt500 vs C8 Stingray or Z06 I'd prefer a F350 6.7 or an S550 Gt500 but the C8 gen of Vette is nice just not something I'd ever own especially since I'm not a GM/Chevy guy, the only Chevy/GM product I'd ever own would be an LBZ/LB7 or L5P Duramax
The LBZ Duramax is a truck I’d like to get I think. Maybe do a build series with eventually. Just a thought
no one wants to see a s550 vs a vette 😂
Does the ProCharger void the warranty?
I would assume so, yes
Of course it does.
Yessir, In 4 more years I’m going all out 😅
Would be interesting to have a GoPro for a few 0-60 runs and perhaps 0-100. I see you blocked out MPH so the police don't come after you so all of us understand the problem. I also see on RUclips SEVERAL dealers willing to sell Z06's at MSRP and even at $1000 under! That was NOT the case a month or 2 ago! Also compare the cars with ALL WEATHER tires and not the performance tires and $11,000+++ carbon fiber wheels! That alone is a significant performance difference! I don't know about Procharger but s Magnuson supercharger comes with a 3 year, 32,000 mile warranty! Chack around for best deal!!!
Please stop telling ppl you can get a base z06 for 120k its not true dude please do your research.
But you can…
I live in nj..can you please tell me where I can get a z06 for 120k..I will trade my c8 the moment u send me the dealership.
@@bighin1 I've been on the Z06 list for over a yr and they probably won't get to me for 3 more years. You shld have been put dwn your deposit if you wanted one at msrp. I dont even know if anyone will let you get on a list this late in the game. I'll sell you my allocation so save your pennies, you got 3 yrs🤣....
@@bighin1 the owner of this Z06 was one of the first few people to get the Z06/Z07 and he got it for MSRP..
@@bighin1 The 2023 C8 Z06 starts at $106,695 MSRP, And the 3LZ convertible is $127,545 MSRP. That is of course before dealer markups.
@victorlopez2997 I just priced one you’re right the price went up real quick. The 1LT is deceiving
I will take the zo6. Keep ur c8. I got twins on my mustang making 1380 rw I still rather drive my zo6.
🤘🤘
You guys have any other cool procharged cars I could do a video with??
This may be rhetorical but is the Z06 a NA V8?
Yes
Bespoke 😙🤌
Yes. All C8's so far are NA. And it appears as though some, if not many future models, will be EV, which I'm not a fan of. Btw I have a C7 ZR1 ZTK. And I like the fact I can fill it with fuel much faster than I can charge an EV. BTW, My neighbor had a Tesla Model S plaid and made some runs on a 1/4 track. Drove home. Parked it and connected it to the Tesla charging system. Next day it wouldn't turn on (didn't take a charge and fried the battery). Tesla refused to warranty it since he 'raced' it and subsequently charged it which overheated the battery. He said they complimented his ET's however.
Race them
I should have. Maybe I’ll line em up in the future
Price
You can get a Z06 C8 for a low price if the first buyer sells it and voids warranty. Corvette tells you to keep the c8 for 6 months to keep the warranty.
Gotta see e85 tuned procharged c8 1/4 mile and 60-130? That's the real question
That would be cool
Seems like if you super charge your Stingray your warranty will be void.
No talk about torque.
I'd still rather have the z06 with twin turbo boosted to about 800-870 hp .
Yes, that would be cool. I wonder how well the Z engines take boost
@@703Speed all I know is higher rpm engines love making hp . It's Nascar engine's secret 😉
Smokey mountains?
Appalachian Mountains in Virginia
@@703Speed right on. Same thing lol 🤷♂️
Love it there. Hit Tail of the Dragon and Cherahola Parkway on my bike a few years ago. Amazing scenery
Why didn’t you do a side by side drag race…….not one on RUclips anywhere…..must be a problem no one wants to talk about…
c8 base 495 c8 z06 670
Good luck getting a z06 for $120K....stealers still want 30k+ markup.
At least $30k markup.. This guy was lucky enough to get his Z at MSRP
MacMulkin does MSRP and are awesome to work with. Theyre # 1 dealership in USA. 2-3 yr wait for Z06 as of today. $5k down needed. C8 Stingray no wait time just build time same dealership $2k down. I was told by God to wait until Sept to put my 5k down for my Z06.
@@boywonderrr71 It'll be interesting to see where used sales are by then. BAT's all over the place; some are bid under MSRP, most a bit over still.
First 10 seconds of video tells you everything you need to know lol.
Lol
Yup, it does not sound like the beast ZO6 😢😢😢
Yup, it does not sound like the Beast ZO6 😢😢
Yust forget the price just put it in drag race
All that money for that power
In Reality It Doesn't Make Any Sense Just Get A C7 or c6 or 5
People like the newer body style
If you guys were to get Z06... Would you go LZ1 or higher on the package? I priced a maxed out Z07 and it was 155K. I can afford LZ1 but man i would feel skimped on options.😭😭🤣
Yes I'm retarded!
So I just twin my Z06 then what?
That’s the cheat code.. Lol
The resale on the blown car will be trash. The zo6 will have way better resale.
Turbo Whistle??? Lol
The pro charger is essentially a belt driven turbo
🤬 Dealer mark-ups!
neither one
A New Z06 will cost you more than 120k
The z will be quicker all the way around, due it being lighter. Adding FI will adds weight.
Yes it does. But the Procharger sounds soo good while driving
Z06 isn't quicker, faster around a track... but in a street race or a drag strip, shorter races favor the supercharged c8. My S/C C8 has almost 650whp, the Z06 has 670 at the crank.
They did a horrible job on the body style of the z06 look s like a pumpkin face....
I have no idea why anyone would brag about any car (especially a sportscar) being “loaded to the max”…. All options will add weight (except CF wheels)… the worst you can do to a sportscar is to add weight. If you want fast, you want C8 1LT or ZO6 with Z07 and CF wheels and no other options… especially not HTC
It's "loaded to the max" because that's what I prefer, the car is daily driven with weekend trips to the dragstrip or autocross so maybe 1 of each 100 miles is spent on the racetrack, hardy worth giving up 50 lb of luxury. In the 1/4 mile 100 lb will cost you about a 1/10 of a second.
@@dickabbott9946 agreed
Some people want no compromise. I always like a fully loaded car with full luxury and style plus performance over a s box stripped down to gain 3/10s on a 1/4 mile.
Bro, have you ever stop and thought not everyone thinks like you. Your way of thinking isn't the only way. Crazy. I know. LOLOLOL
"The worst you can do to a sports car is to add weight" ABSOLUTELY! Hence: "If you want to go fast, add lightness."
