@@StreetSpeed717Mike why did you make the zr1 stock again I like gtr but you can't beat the zr1 with full cam and exhaust id love to see like a full drag car build on the channel I'm really gonna miss the zr1 maybe one day if you get rid of the gtr then you can go full on crazy with the zr1 and put a fully built motor in it and actually drag race it
@@GameOver321 I understand his reasoning for it but come on. A 2000+ whp c7 ZR1 is something at least I have never seen. He’d be the only dude to ever do it lol. He’s saying it wants it to be a collector car but with 13k I believe he’s past that point
Every C6 owner knows you have to bleed the clutch. Google Ranger clutch bleed method. Every C6 needs to have this done. Its easy. You basically suck out the clutch fluid with a turkey baster from under the hood where you fill it, then fill it up with new fluid. Then start it and work the clutch in and out and redo. over and over and over and over. Like once every 6 months you need to do this.
Has a car channel for 5 years and just now learns about how transmissions and clutches work. “Doesn’t like how a procharger drives” -he’s never fucking driven a procharger car. Lol.
While many are probably sad about the ZR1, I actually really like that you've done this. As you said, the car has a great legacy. But, I just really like the stock sound. Today was really cold. I went to the Ambler Cars and Coffee and froze. We took my son's ZL1 1LE and really had a good time. It was my first time seeing a GT4 RS in person. Very cool! Think spring!
Mike you gotta keep the zr1 in the collection. She’s a staple of the channel forever and I actually like that you’re returning her to stock for retirement.
@@StreetSpeed717are ever gonna see like a full drag car build one day I'm gonna miss the zr1 not racing anymore maybe one day you'll have it upgraded again with the old motor in it who knows
@@StreetSpeed717please keep the zr1 id love to see it in full race mode again and race the gtr I wouldn't mind it being twin turbo car either that would've made it even nastier with two big twin turbos on it
The Vette, like many other manuals has a hydraulic clutch as many have stated. I had a 1998 Ford Falcon XR6 6cyl with manual. One night I hit the clutch, something broke and the pedal hit the floor, but it didn't pop back like Mike did with the Vette. Turns out it was a clutch clevis - a part that held the pedal end of the clutch cable (mechanical clutch). So a part worth a $5-$10, brought the car to a halt. I got it replaced and carried a spare.
It’s sad that the ZR1 is retiring but the GTR is fast for sure and I hope the ZR1 atleast stays on the channel as a collectors item 👍 gonna miss the chop tho 😊
Same thing happens to me in a truck at work while driving. Put on a masterclass for the new guys who couldn’t drive stick getting it back to the shop up shifting and down shifting without a clutch. Had to shut it off at stop lights, put it in gear and use the starter to get going every time. Turns out it was just the linkage broke.
It's called floating gears all us manual truck drivers do it all day it does not hurt the clutch it actually makes the clutch last longer less wear and tear on it but remember when down shifting you have to bring the rpms up to get it in gear
At 1:36....NOW THATS HOW YOU AERATE YOUR GRASS! My Corvette identifies as EXTREME LAWNCARE equipment! LOL. I KNOW you had BLAST with that, Mike! Blue or Black, Stock or LMR set-up.... I would welcome the ZR1 with open arms!
Street Speed 717 Awesome Video I'm sorry to hear your Absolutely Incredible Off-road built C6 Stingray Clutch Paddle broke while have fun and it's great to see your now stock but still Absolutely Incredible and Gorgeous C7 ZR1 back on the channel and I definitely understand why you made the decision to revert it back stock and I can't wait to what you've end up doing with it
The ZR1 just didn’t want to leave you Mike, might as well let it retire. I always love going through my Hell’s Kitchen phases. I tried making beef Wellington a few times, we don’t have the best mushroom options around here. I put my race rubber on for the year. Hopefully we’re done with snow but I’ve had some birthdays in April that were snow covered so we aren’t out of the woods yet.
SOOO Sad! I LOVE THIS CAR! This car is the reason the C7 ZR1 is my dream car. The sound, the speed, the color, the journey. I'm really gonna miss this car racing. I want to get a ZR 1 and wrap it in memory of this amazing machine. Thanks Mike for the amazing content. This car should be in the corvette museum with its highest HP numbers listed.
Mike brother you are one cool dood man living the dream 😎, don't forget about God brotha 🙏 this life is only a drop in the bucket compared to eternity 🙏!!!
Please keep the c7. It keeps coming back to you so it’s truly your car Mike. Once you get a bigger shop keep it there with whatever classic vette you settle with like a “ street speed show room “
Me for years during certain races: Mike’s ZR1 makes 1050-1100+ whp and has a non stock bottom end. Mike directly replies: nope its stock and makes 950. Me: Nope, not sure why a RUclipsr is sandbaggin if its not to just save the builders and his own face when it doesnt perform well (like Plaid beating you). Years later… sweet vindication :)
I drove a 1998 Honda CRV from Raleigh North Carolina to Carlisle Pennsylvania with no clutch pedal. It's a little over 400 mi one way. Wasn't too bad because most of it was highway but once in a while I had to stop or use the bathroom so just had to plan out my stops so that I could get it moving again having to start it in first gear.
It's for the best, Corvettes are not meant for racing. They are meant for sitting, and being talked about how rare they are. In all seriousness I'm going to miss that ZR1's beast mode. And keep the battle damage, it makes for a great story. The Charger threw itself on a grenade to win.
This weather is bipolar brother. I was working on my wife's X5 and just start to see flakes and then heavy windy snow. Thank God I was finishing up.. crazy we weather Frfr. Vette looks nice and that trx needs to be in my driveway.. woohoooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"My Zr1 went back to stock"....That's what a built GTR will do to you. PS. It's 89 degrees down here in south texas. I'm in sandals at the beach typing this on my phone as we speak. hahahaha
Yeah it’s called floating gears. You do that in a semi truck when you don’t want double clutch, get the RPM levels up and just shift. I never tried it in a car before though.🤔
Sad to see the end of an era with the C7 ZR1. It really sucks that it’s not going to be the race car anymore. I think we all know you’re planning on selling it or giving it away
The C7 ZR1 is an epic sports car for sure. But there's signs of another on the horizon in the new C8 ZR1. Since the older C7 Z is now back to stock, it should hold a ton more value as a solid trade in for the new C8 Z. Will be sad to see it go either way.
Keep the ZR1 as your collector car it's been my favorite car on your channel. I've tried to win it a couple of times. I was going to become a RUclipsr if I won it it's a real badass car
Can we get a GTR vs ZR1? We already know the outcome but want to see how bad of a gap it will be😂
You don't want to see that...
@@StreetSpeed717give the ZR1 the hit maybe?…plus a 1/8 mile headstart 😂
@@StreetSpeed717😂
DO IT! 😂
It's stock again.. it would have got the Gap nasty when it was 1200 horsepower lol
Wtf mike you hit 30. And the c7 is stock damn your getting old lol 😆
For sale
7:30 Altimas sure do make that vett look slow LOL

As someone that works in a body shop, the bumper and fender repair are child's play. No replacement necessary

It's a giveaway Ofc 😉
He’s already given this car away twice with the full build why would he now give it away stock
@@tomgardiner4329 It's more realistic to give away a stock car than a 1000+ hp car. The majority of people can't handle that much power

He had a procharged c7 Z06

Please organize them 😊
Master cylinder for your clutch went out. Had it happen to my wrx.
It’s sad that the ZR1 is retiring but the GTR is fast for sure and I hope the ZR1 atleast stays on the channel as a collectors item 👍 gonna miss the chop tho 😊
Clutch is a common issue when the fluid isn’t changed often enough. Cheap and easy fix. Hardest part is bleeding it after you swap the slave.
Same thing happens to me in a truck at work while driving. Put on a masterclass for the new guys who couldn’t drive stick getting it back to the shop up shifting and down shifting without a clutch. Had to shut it off at stop lights, put it in gear and use the starter to get going every time. Turns out it was just the linkage broke.
I already knew where you were going with the whole clutch thing before you ever said it lol it could also be the slave and master
It's called floating gears all us manual truck drivers do it all day it does not hurt the clutch it actually makes the clutch last longer less wear and tear on it but remember when down shifting you have to bring the rpms up to get it in gear
I wanted to see the ZR1 making over 2000WHP.
Did you ever have the motor fully built , like pistons and rods ? If so did you take them out to?
At 1:36....NOW THATS HOW YOU AERATE YOUR GRASS! My Corvette identifies as EXTREME LAWNCARE equipment! LOL. I KNOW you had BLAST with that, Mike! Blue or Black, Stock or LMR set-up.... I would welcome the ZR1 with open arms!

Zr1 Give away number two coming soon
The wheel cleaner does work great. And I'm always skeptical
Phk the car content, do more merch plugs and giveaways! DO MORE!!
That’s how we shift big trucks. Clutch only once to take off .
Not gonna lie the offroad vette is probably one of my new fav cars on the channel looks like a blast to drive.

That ZR1 is a classic, I wouldn't have messed with it to begin with but enjoyed the content!
As a man who's waiting for the 1000 from suing woman who smashed into my car, hearing "only $800" is crazy
That stop sign scene would have been ideal with the Cleveland brown bathroom skit from family guy

The ZR1 Was what got me to subscribe R.I.P Randy SavageGarage
The promo for the Trx at the end was top notch. The editing was insane. 👍👍👍👍👍
Would love to see mike build a corvette drift car and learn to drift, just a random thought i had watching him sliding around on the grass
I get bringing it back to stock, but I would leave the lights the way they are
Please keep the c7. It keeps coming back to you so it’s truly your car Mike. Once you get a bigger shop keep it there with whatever classic vette you settle with like a “ street speed show room “

Do the ranger method on the c6. Change the fluid in other words. That fluid gets contaminated easily when your giving them hell.

I could watch the Corvette in a field all day!
The clutch is like a frightened turtle.
God that car will never get old. Love the blue
Itsjusta6 just got his 720s and I think he’s gonna boost it up and come for the GTR 👀
He’ll blow it up in a week just like every car he owns😂
Mike how about doing something different with the ZR1 like use it this time for what it was actually built for… the race track
Addicted to Vettes!!
"My Zr1 went back to stock"....That's what a built GTR will do to you. PS. It's 89 degrees down here in south texas. I'm in sandals at the beach typing this on my phone as we speak. hahahaha
Sad to see the zr1 era come to an end.. by far my favorite car on the channel, hopefully it stays in your hands and maayyybbbeeee give it away again?😅
Never took a loss to stang mode💪🔥😂. I love the Vette!
The ZR1 is by far… My Favorite of the fleet! What a beauty 😮
Same it’s my favorite too it’s sad that it’s going completely back to stock though 😭😭
@@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC not if he keeps it as the collector! That car totally stock is worth upwards of $170,000 stock with those miles.
I feel like I never had a chance 2 win the ZR1 when I entered.
You love this car and never was going to give it away.
The off-roader need some motor work. Like Texas speed style. Nice cam you know all the goodies
Put the gtr on off-road set up 😮 if you do this you're insane 😂 just a couple spacers 🥶
Hit the throttle a little while shifting, it will fall into gear without grinding. You won’t have to force it into gear 💪🏻🦅🇺🇸
Yeah it’s called floating gears. You do that in a semi truck when you don’t want double clutch, get the RPM levels up and just shift. I never tried it in a car before though.🤔
Same on motorcycles..........😀😀😀
That Explosion was Insane! Ohhh The Humanity!😢
I’m sitting here thinking my C7 Grand Sport felt quick. Hahahaha
I bet the slave cylinder went out on the clutch. Happened to me recently.
Mike was that the mini ram!? 🤯🤯🤯it looked sooo amazing!
It’s cool to see the ZR1 back
I am watching chef Ramsey too! Lol it's literally the next video suggestion!
It's called rev matching. We do it in big rigs
I would like to see u do a street race class at the 1/4 track
So glad to see the ZR1 back!! AGAIN !!! but i LOVE that car...
Expensive decision, but all the nitrous come back explosion was cool until the sad blown up face :( lol was very cool to watch though
😢😢 I'm sad no more chomp chomp chomp chomp,I am sure gonna miss that sound, that's the first thing I looked for wen your videos start lol.

The zr1 is not really a collector car anymore if it DOESN'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR.....not having the original motor depreciates the value... oh well
Keep the ZR1 as your collector car it's been my favorite car on your channel. I've tried to win it a couple of times. I was going to become a RUclipsr if I won it it's a real badass car
Lost my clutch in my Supra back in the day! Turned out to be the slave cylinder in the transmission
I love it my boy Mike keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍
Darth Vader noises: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
exhaust burbels
Charger owner here.
Let me know when you’re ready for me to retire the gtr too. I won’t blow up this time. 😂
you should have keep the zr1 how it was and keep it
So the ZR-1 is the next giveaway Car 😁
TRACK DAYS WITH THE ZR1! HPDE, Time Attack, Time Trials with SCCA
That looks so fucking fun Mike that has to be the funnest Corvette now
That vette is still bad ass!!!
