- Welcome to my 2009 Corvette C6 Z06. In this series we're going to get to know this sports car, from it's design, its 7 liter LS7 engine, it's TR6060 transmission and everything else everyone loves and hates. We're putting it up against the Camaro ZL1 1LE, the Honda S2000 and we'll compare it to other cars like the Viper, the Porsche 911 and more.

I'd keep it. but I maybe biased since I own a 07 z06 lol.
Congrats on the new car! Seats - Go with Sparco Sprint Seats or a Recaro. Use Amsoil 75w90 for Differential (along with Slip Lock). Use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w40 for oil.
Peace, if you don't need to sell it, I'd keep it like it is. You don't have to track it, you have the FL5 for that 🙂
👍💪✌
I have a ‘15 ZL1 Vert M6 and an ‘09 Z06. This February I bought the Z06 with 17k km. I brought it in to correct the valve issues and I did a BTR 2 cam, header s, high flow cats, CAI and a tune and I would keep the vette if pressed to choose one.
I'm just here for the Corvette videos. Sorry, but if you sell it, I'm gone.
I would keep your Corvette and give it some love. The fact that you have a small block 427 is one thing. That is a very sought after engine next to the 427 big block. Just the engine in your car, in good to great condition can fetch close to 3 to 5 thousand dollars. GM is not longer making 427 crate motors.
The other thing you should do is go with a coil over suspension. It does make a difference. BIG TIME
Been interested in the C6Z06 for awhile now and have done alot of lurking on the forum. the ls7 kinda makes me lean toward the GS oe even a 08+ base. too many guys drop big coins having them foxed only to see failure down the road. stock cars go at 30-40k and hci cars have been reported failing not even 20k after its been performed by a reputable shop. perhaps all horror stories. still, a solid 10-15k fix once you become victim.
theres another guy on youtube ... has a yellow z06.. dubbed the gtr killer. he bought his to track... soon thereafter, VALVE DROP
had to get a new alternator and fuses for my 2006 z06 cause the car tends to die on me more than my other cars. also got the heads and everything done at ahp and it even gained 80hp from that which was nice
Nice Vette, congratulations! Do you have plans to inspect the valve guides? I'm sure you're aware of this issue with the C6 Z06; will be expensive if they fail, just curious😊
Really nice car!!
The cylinder heads are a problem area, Ktech can fix them or replace them with ARF
Just saw you're video on this topic...Question answered...😊
Your upper control arm looks like it was used for a hammer.....that big hole might be an issue.
I work for a GM dealer Love the c6,c7 and c8 but I've got a quick question about my FK8 type R what transmission fluid do you suggest I used Acdelco at 30k miles I'm currently at 56k milesand going to change the trans fluid by 60k miles what brand or fluid do you suggest stick with Acdelco or something else?
GM synchromesh FM is the best
@@FlyinGato Thank you
You left it out in the rain? It’s totalled now.😜
The C6 Z06 is great, but it's not better than a 6th gen ZL1 1le.
Silver is the best color, just like mine!
"less desirable color" there is no undesirable color for this car, except maybe for silver.
Bull shit my sunset orange is breathtaking absolutely stunning color change of colors throughout the day it was an option at that time and looks better in person. There's not too many of them in that color.
@@richardcerritelli9657 As I said, the only undesirable color is maybe Silver.All the other colors look great.
Hi there - I hear a lot of whatever everyone already knows. Bottom line is you got an awesome car that is over a decade old. What's the problem? its a drivers car. Perhaps sell it as you may not deserve it ;) Stop complaining - Live life and enjoy the car. Other enthusiasts would be more than happy to have this car. "engine blow up on you" lol just get the heads done to replace the exhaust valve guides. and ENJOY! peace out.
Why do you post a video with this title and then ramble for 15 minutes just to convey that you're replacing tires and dampers? And then give advice on oil change intervals without consulting the manual without any real evidence on why you should stray from what the manual says? Also, what makes you think that driving carefully at low oil temperatures is going to prevent engine damage caused by potentially bad valve guides?? This was so frustrating to watch.
Either way, amazing car! I'm in the market for one but unfortunately haven't had much luck finding many '09 or later models in my area.
Change trans and diff fluid for 100$………
