I have a C6Z and LOVE IT! My friend and I built it. Ported the MSD myself. Had the heads ported and milled. Approximately 12:1 compression. I ended up making 637/569 and LOVE IT.
These cars are a beast, even stock, they weigh about 3100 hundred pounds, and now all of the new cars are at least 36 to 4400 hundred pounds, a platform like this with the horsepower from Steve and the guys make this thing a rocket, 427 cubic inches and a redline of over 7,000 rpm and the specific gear ratios for the 6-speed transmission makes this car a hot rodders dream, this platform C6 ZO6 was running in the 11s when they came out years ago, and some may be bias about the interior and other things, but this is raw power, non of all that traction control and computers literally driving the car for you, this is 3 pedals of pure American performance 😊
The most common complaint about the C6 is the interior but I couldn't care less about that. I'm old school and not interested in pushing a bunch of buttons to do stuff. It's still the GOAT Corvette platform in terms of performance.
Long live the C6Z! These cars were absolutely monsters 12 years ago and still pretty damn relevant even today. 600 wheel at 3100 pounds with great gears and amazing sound, super fun street car.
C6 Z06, less than 3200 pounds, 50/50 weight bias, no steel frame to rust. The best. My 11 has rebuilt stock heads (BTR Platinum .660 lift dual springs) Ti retainers, solid stem exhaust valves (trust me on this, DO NOT install any brand hollow stem ex valves on a street car that is supposed to run for tens of thousand of miles) stock cam and a Maggie HB blower. 615 peak SAE WHP, 500 WTQ from 2500 RPM to redline. FUN AS HELL.
Wow love what you do with the LS7 engine. I have a 2013 C6 427 60th anniversary car. The “427 model” was only built for 1 year (2013). It only came in a Tremec 6-Speed and in convertible only. It is a Z06 convertible with the ZR-1 suspension, and carbon fiber front end/hood and brakes. GM built 2013 cars. I wanna send my car to LMR to have this package added. I just turned 30K miles yesterday. It is stock except I have a Callaway short-shifter installed. I have had 2 previous C6 Z06 Corvettes but this “427 Model” is more fun because I can put the top down. It only weighs 65 pounds more than the Z06 due to the power top. I personally think the car looks better with the soft top! There isn’t any other Corvette that looks like the 427. Most non-Corvette owners don’t recognize the name; they think that I mean the Z06 but they would be wrong!!! I will call your shop in a few days after Christmas!!! Cheers‼️ Merry Christmas!!! 👍👊💪😎
@LateModelRacecraft It's been my experience that Ferrari fan boys are exceptionally critical of Corvettes. I shut them down with 1 question: "How many championships has Ferrari won in the last 20 years?".
We usually make right at 500rwhp with heads/cam LS3 setups. Again, depends on customer for cam selection and compression which can add additional 20-40hp. 👍
AMP will actually talk to you about your build they won’t be rude and just tell you what they think you should do to your car , if you want RUclips content and want to learn this is the channel … but if you want your car built and want to be a PART of your own build this ain’t your shop This shop is for old rich people , ain’t for the young man find another shop not no boring ride good ole boy “I’m better then the customer “ atmosphere , When you can’t even ask a humbled question then take your business elsewhere , I did speak with one LMR employee he was super nice he was the one to convince me to pick LMR , we talked for a good 20 minutes but when I called the next day to confirm our build I got some rude salesman lol F LMR lol 😂 AMP for the win and I’m glad I choose them
Request. Can you please do me a huge favor?? I want you to take the c8 heads and cam package, C8 stage 1 Twin Turbo and your Stage one Supercharged c8 to the dragstrip. We want to see the times for the given kits. You do not have to take them all at the same time. Just overtime. I also want you to Run the same setup on the street using Draggy. Having the prep times and street times of each kit would be badass. Yes i know it can vary by track , temps etc but you get the point. Its a base and it shows us which kit is better for the street or better for the strip etc. Then you could do the same test on a road course track comparing lap times say at like barber motorsports or a track closer to your home. It could also show us which kit is better overall for both street and strip. Keep up the Amazing work.
No mention of this being a z07 car? Not the basic z06 which 27000 built In 12/13 Chevy did z07 in the z06 PDE in the ZR1 Both high performance packages on a high performance car Super rare and the holy grail of the c6 imo Only 375 ZR1 PDE in existence Not sure on the z06 but not many
Why do LS7's sound so distinct? Corvettes in general sound distinct. Is it the stock Y type exhaust manifolds or the pipe exits being close together? Why why why?😁
I have a C6Z and LOVE IT! My friend and I built it. Ported the MSD myself. Had the heads ported and milled. Approximately 12:1 compression. I ended up making 637/569 and LOVE IT.
Perfect setup! 600rwhp with these platforms are SO much fun the drive!
Any tips for someone in the market for a c6z/things to be on the look for? 🙏🏼
I agree..puts a smile on my face. Like girls do.
Whenver I see an LMR video I have to click! Another awesome C6 .
Huge fan of the C6 Z06. They have ages extremely well!
Love my C6 Z06. Made 587whp/537wtq on 91 pump. Just keep running into issues with it but when it works, it’s a dream.
Less reliable than a boosted and cam/heads ls3 vette?
@@mikehogan5087 I'm running into valvetrain issues. I'd say an H/C LS3 is for sure more reliable.
These cars are a beast, even stock, they weigh about 3100 hundred pounds, and now all of the new cars are at least 36 to 4400 hundred pounds, a platform like this with the horsepower from Steve and the guys make this thing a rocket, 427 cubic inches and a redline of over 7,000 rpm and the specific gear ratios for the 6-speed transmission makes this car a hot rodders dream, this platform C6 ZO6 was running in the 11s when they came out years ago, and some may be bias about the interior and other things, but this is raw power, non of all that traction control and computers literally driving the car for you, this is 3 pedals of pure American performance 😊
They must be busy. Can’t get anyone to return my emails or phone calls

The C6 Corvette was my brother's dream car. Hopefully, I can buy it one day
Long live the C6Z! These cars were absolutely monsters 12 years ago and still pretty damn relevant even today.
600 wheel at 3100 pounds with great gears and amazing sound, super fun street car.
Awesome Z06! Great job on the build! You guys know what you’re doing!
In 2025 the C6 Z06 is an incredible buy! that LS7 is a crazy engine! This corvette aged like fine wine.
Thanks for all the videos and great information. I will be looking to do a build with my C6 Z06 and I really like your platform! Happy New Year!!
C6 Z06, less than 3200 pounds, 50/50 weight bias, no steel frame to rust. The best.

FUN AS HELL.
Interesting route you went with the stock cam and a supercharger instead.
Yep, these are solid cars. H/C/I setup with full exhaust and a good tune is a monster, lots of fun.
My brother has a base C6 with 155k miles on it.
Still drives like a beast
Love the c6 platform! They are still very competitive today against more hp modern vehicles.

👍👊💪😎
We would be honored to build it! Look forward to speaking with you soon!
Sweet sweet c6 z06. Thanks 😊
I am a dreamer, a Chevy fan, i will have one!!!
Christmas red c6, still a very valid platform, especially after its been lmr performanced, great video!!
Thank you very much!
Amazing platform I really took the C6 for granted growing up
The Mighty LS7 🇺🇸🦅🫡
I really enjoy the platform. Purchased mine new in 2006. She’s a 2007 Z06. I went a bit on the wild side and love the sounds she makes.
Need a C6Z in my life, awesome build.
Awesome build! LMR Leads the Way!
C6 FOR THE WIN !!!
What a beautiful car. That thing is incredibly rare being a Z07 optioned build. Absolute perfection 😎
C6 zo6 still one of my dream cars!!
The C6 it's a great platform, amazing car, sound awesome👍
Thank you
Such a beast of a car! Great work guys!
Nice Santa Red c6, banging gears!
Have one myself with a similar set up. Went 10.18 @ 137.5. Takes a shit load more power from any other platform to get those numbers.
Congrats on the awesome time!
Great budget build. Good looking car.
Giving away a t-shirt would be nice but giving away an 800hp build would be really nice!
Let me talk to Mr Fereday about that!
I wish I would have held off on my 2006 Z06 and bought a newer one I love that updated interior.
What a nice sounding engine…what a great 👍🏻 package… the tune is spot on.. nice job….😎
Beautiful car and beautiful build
Super awesome !!
C5 and C6 are far too often overlooked. Such a killer job Chevorlet did with those cars
Love NA builds!
Nice I need to take my Z06 to y’all
Best shop ever bro
We will get you taken care of whenever you are ready! 👌
I want to get my C7 Z51 to Texas as soon as my warranty is up.
We will be glad to get you taken care of when the time is right for you!
The C6 Z06/ZR1(especially) is perhaps the best Vette that Chevy ever made. It's light in weight, attractive in appearance, & won on the race track.
Hard to disagree with that!
@LateModelRacecraft It's been my experience that Ferrari fan boys are exceptionally critical of Corvettes. I shut them down with 1 question:
"How many championships has Ferrari won in the last 20 years?".
1 Bad Ass Z 👍🏽🔥🔥
C6Z06/LS7 FTW
My number one dream car in the world is a 2011 carbon z06 max effort NA
I watch this channel so much I dream I built one of these corvettes,😂
Keep envisioning, it can happen!
One day Hopefully 🤞
Awesome as always. If you're giving away a build for Christmas, please put me on the list. Merry Christmas my LMR "family."
Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you enjoy the video.
Love to have c6 zr1
Hard platform to beat period.
My '10 C6 GS manual ragtop with 14,000 miles needs some attention.
I’m just here for the ride along with Steve
C6z with a big NA build will be the new c8 zr1 in a roll
C6 Z06, all forged internals, twin turbo.
How much hp can you make with an ls3 with a package like this?
We usually make right at 500rwhp with heads/cam LS3 setups. Again, depends on customer for cam selection and compression which can add additional 20-40hp. 👍
Would love to see this car vs a stock zr1
AMP will actually talk to you about your build they won’t be rude and just tell you what they think you should do to your car , if you want RUclips content and want to learn this is the channel … but if you want your car built and want to be a PART of your own build this ain’t your shop
This shop is for old rich people , ain’t for the young man find another shop not no boring ride good ole boy “I’m better then the customer “ atmosphere ,
When you can’t even ask a humbled question then take your business elsewhere ,
I did speak with one LMR employee he was super nice he was the one to convince me to pick LMR , we talked for a good 20 minutes but when I called the next day to confirm our build I got some rude salesman lol F LMR lol 😂
AMP for the win and I’m glad I choose them
I can hear those valves from here ticking like hell. Both of mine do it.

Whats faster a stock C6 ZR1 or a LMR 700 package on a C6Z? Merry xmas, appreciate another video.
Would love to know what this would run in the 1/4 with street tires.
10sec passes all day. Really just depends on what rear wheel/tire combo is on it and who is driving.
@LateModelRacecraft Thanks.
No mention of this being a z07 car?
Not the basic z06 which 27000 built
In 12/13 Chevy did z07 in the z06
PDE in the ZR1
Both high performance packages on a high performance car
Super rare and the holy grail of the c6 imo
Only 375 ZR1 PDE in existence
Not sure on the z06 but not many
Top 3 best domestic cars made
My dream car is take this over the ZR1
Why do LS7's sound so distinct? Corvettes in general sound distinct. Is it the stock Y type exhaust manifolds or the pipe exits being close together? Why why why?😁
The C6 is the pinnacle for Corvette. In several ways down hill from there.
👍
Show a few more C8 builds with the 60 to 130 times
I have a 2013 427 convertible ,and I am interested in 700 horsepower package.
But can the car put that power down? Or it just spins the wheel every turn
No draggy?
DO MY TERMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did he (Steven) say the C6Z06 is not a daily?
Gorgeous car. Hauls glutes too...
Should’ve gave my buisness to you guys my car is currently still in Houston for a h/c/i since September……
Multiple attempts to contact LMR. Left email and spoke with employee who was going to talk to Steven. No return call
Far better looking vs the C8 in my book
Pure gap machine.
I bet you could still beat a heads/cam c8
I race
59k to many miles for cam and heads
$20k to stay NA?? Sheesh
Looking for a C6? Try Corvette Warehouse in Dallas.
beutiful but sticks are slower,,,,fact...............and a pain in the @ss.....autos are sooooooooooooooooooo much faster......fact...
giveaway tshirt. OMG !
