At 56 years old I'm mature, and that didn't stop me from getting a speeding ticket in my Z06. Probably the first ticket in 15 years, and I owned a CTS-V for the last 5 years. The Z06 compels you to drive hard.
My 2017 3LZZ06 manual is absolutely phenomenal.I did full p p f x pipe ported throttle body air intake that's it . This car is sooooo bad ass and I absolutely love not hearing the supercharger wine like the dodges . I perfer na sounding . It's true I giggle when I drive it .
You are right the Z06 sounds better than those Dodges to me. There is some kind of shreaking howl that the engine/intake/exhaust has... it's just beautiful
This car is an insane daily. In love with mine. Have a handful of issues I had to fix like a rattling targa top, replaced the shifter with MGW, and small stuff but I got a 2017+ model so I have the additional radiator and taller supercharger bricks+lid that 15/16 didn’t get. Paid $57k in 2024. Mods already arrived for it too. Good vid!
Also great job being objective with the car. It’s not perfect but it’s a riot and very serviceable. Most issues are easily fixable or don’t cost an arm and a leg. The biggest flaw is the DOD hardware but even that can be removed + added power for only $4k
May, 2023 I bought a 2016 Z06, 3LZ, convertible, A8, in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic, with Kalahari interior. It is a beast. I have owned two C4s, a 1988 Z51 manual, and a 1991 ZR-1 manual. I like rowing the gears, but as I've aged I'm more suited to the faster automatic. Thanks for the video!
I love mine i have a m7 I daily it and it’s so comfortable and fun when you want to goof off, but I haven’t heard any of the clutch related things you talk about
No wayyyyyyy. Bro I understand... I figured something was off. She was saying that your "internet was down for 2 days", and I was like uhhhh idk about all that. I'm sad to hear that, but whatever is best for you is most important. Do you know what you wanna do next?
Don’t sit at a light in first gear just adding to the wear of the clutch for no reason put it in first when you see other light turn yellow or yours green
@@teddydavid2816 not really? plenty of fun cars i’ve been in have it. this 135i i drove once had it, feels like your starting up a race car and not a normal car 🤷🏼♂️but if u think it’s lame get a tesla or something😂 or a mopar
Look, the performance numbers of both cars are known. Outlets like Car and Driver beat the hell out of these cars in their testing, they show the transmissions and clutches no mercy, so they tend to be a good benchmark of what cars can do when you don't give a shit about repairs. So, silly anecdotes about beating randos on the street is more a discussion about you and the other guy than the two cars.
Its a fucking race car, who cares about clutch sounds. Go drive a true track car and a drag car, those clutches chatter if you dont ride them properly. And manuals are better than autos, they show whose the better driver, not who rides on D all day!
For $80000? I can literally build a Mustang that's faster for half that price. Really nice car but you can definitely build a car that's way faster for a lot less.

The c7 looks so much better than the current generation. That even applies to the z06.
c8 looks like an downgrade, c7 is way better if you just talk about design
@@surensi facts
Yeah nah, that C8 is incredible. No need to hate on a great design just for the sake of being edgy and different.
@@Part-TimePro that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Nobody was hating and nobody was being edgy. You should pick up a dictionary.
Channel has been criminally underrated for a while now

My favorite car channel for a lil minute now keep going.
You provide very high quality content. I enjoy these videos more than some larger known channels.

Awesome drive. I have a C7 Grand Sport Manual, and the downshift sounds never ever get old. So much fun to drive

Dang 57 is a deal
gained a new subcriber man, excellent review

excellant-coverage!!!
Absolutely loved this POV man, just subbed! 🔥

I need to experience this 😍 sounds so good
The manual is better once it’s warmed up. Same for the tires 😂
Bro your channel is slept on big time, keep up the good work!!
You should try and review a grand sport next! Awesome vid thanks
I would arguethat this car sounds better than the C8Z. Sounds way more aggressive and brutal. Plus those downshifts with the red match sound amazing
Still a great looking car and awesome to drive .
my buddy just bought one and oh my god it just doesn’t stop pulling its insane
Nice vid mah man...Which exhaust u have by the way?
SICKKKKK!!! I want one!
How do you get the audio to sound so good?
I can’t afford these cars yet but this was a great video
Ride quality is really good if your not in track mode
Agreed, enter Touring Mode and its very soft.
I love mine i have a m7 I daily it and it’s so comfortable and fun when you want to goof off, but I haven’t heard any of the clutch related things you talk about
any chance at anybody knowing what exact aftermarket wheels this guy is running on this Z06?
I would love to drive that car
Hey man! This is Stanley (ex. LPL). I couldn’t take anymore. I was literally starting to have nightmares about that lady’s voice lol.
No wayyyyyyy. Bro I understand... I figured something was off. She was saying that your "internet was down for 2 days", and I was like uhhhh idk about all that. I'm sad to hear that, but whatever is best for you is most important. Do you know what you wanna do next?
@@ProfessorDrives Back on the job market. I have an interview on Monday. Honestly I’d rather be broke and homeless than hear that lady’s voice again
@@stanleynwador2326 LMAO!!!! That's fair. I'm glad you escaped the suffering. All those talks, it had to happen.
@@ProfessorDrives HR reached out to me yesterday and I told them everything. So hopefully things will be changing for you soon 🤞🏾
Is it normal for the coolant temp gauge to jump all the way up?
That’s the boost gauge.
@@francistrombley8813you’re right!
Im here to say that I love my corrolla and gas mileage ❤
Crazy how long first gear is
When I bought my 2018 Z51, there was one newer (2019) and cheaper but it was auto, so I picked the 2018 and more expensive because it was a stick.
bros posting faster than usain bolt
these do beat s550 gt500s which ran a 7:39 at the nurburgring c7 z06 ran a 7:13
Don't buy one with a auto transmission without warranty. My c7 stingray trans went around 50k. Luckily I did my hw and got the warranty
man roads in america are hell...
Don’t sit at a light in first gear just adding to the wear of the clutch for no reason put it in first when you see other light turn yellow or yours green
my 19 z06...has had no issues wit..anything...mn..it has 33-k on it!!!
Blurring the speedo while on 1st gear says it all
The C7 was GM's first "nicer" interior. Everything else has been shit in sport cars from them lol
You have to put a key in it and then press a start button wth!? Dang that might be a deal breaker that is not slick at all...
that’s a deal breaker 😂😂😂
@@coachtreyston yes lol that's Lame as hell I can't do it
@@teddydavid2816 not really? plenty of fun cars i’ve been in have it. this 135i i drove once had it, feels like your starting up a race car and not a normal car 🤷🏼♂️but if u think it’s lame get a tesla or something😂 or a mopar
This or zl1 1le
This all day long
it beats gt 500s. i have beaten 2 in mine

@@opmike343 the numbers are known. Z06 beats gt500 any day of the week. 500 0 60 is 3.4, z06 is 2.8
Fake or fictional, unless I see it in real life in my human eyes
This cars been abused.
nothing that can’t be fixed, seems to me your scared to drive your cars
@coachtreyston I drove my car hard everyday.

said no one, ever. Not even in the same league.
Be a man, turn auto rev match off.
you're funny
C8z06 isnt 180k lmao and ur in track mode its gonna be bumpy
Is this totally stock? Specifically the exhaust?
Yep, Corvettes really scream….that the guy driving qualifies for AARP discounts and probably has a calcium deficiency.
