What do you guys think of these 2 cars? It has been a while since they were side by side and I thought I'd answer this question since I get asked all the time which one is my favorite!
ZR1 is my favorite C7 & C8 Z06 is my favorite C8 within all models Z51-Zora!
Love them both equally. I would be the exact same if I had them.
c6 ZO6>C8 ZO6 and c7ZR1
C7 ZR1 Corvette is the BEST CORVETTE EVER
Nah that's the C6 ZR1
@@itshiho no c6 zr1 is the second greatest corvette
@@keemerbecks3941 C6zr1 beats C7zri HP to HP and it takes a real driver.
@@itshiho The Blue Devil C6 ZR1 is incredibly beautiful!
@@itshihono it doesn’t lol
The rev on the Z06 sounds like an F1 car 🤤
💯
Id take the c7zr1 with the 7 speed standard over the c8zo6 all day long!
Agreed 💯💯👍👍
The ZR1 will always remain rarer over a Z06 regardless of year.
obviously, its the higher trim, and the c8 zr1 will be rarer still, and feature twin turbos
C7 for you, C8 for wife.
I wouldn't let my wife drive either one but now that I think of it I don't have a wife lol
@BadBusiness.357 😂😂😂
That C8 Z06 looks killer man! What a beast and that ZR1 is beautiful
Both are such great machines!
Can't go wrong either way but I would probably pick the c8 but it's super close love both amazing cars
7- Speeds RULE!! We need more TRX Content.
I just put out a TRX video the other day! I have more coming soon though!
I’d take a C7 ZR1 over a C8 z06 any day of the week
Only around 3,000 ZR1s built and less than that with a manual. C8 Z06 who knows but I say at least 25,000 to 30,000. Manual verse dct auto. Its a no brainer for me. ZZZZzRRRRRRrr1.
You might move to a new house with a 6 car garage (man cave)
I'd love that!!
Me too
That’s the dream
💯
Wouldn't that be great.
The Z06 looks so much better than the standard C8. That thing looked aweful. Shows how much a wider and lower stance can change the entire look of a car.
I totally agree. The Z06 fixed everything I didn’t like about the stingray.
When you revved the C8 Z06, it reminded me a lot of this video of the C8.R revving when it first came out in October 2019.
Right?! Thing is a monster!!
Great video, great cars! I think a top pro for the ZR1 is the resale value. It's truly the last of its kind. In the same way, a con for the ZR1 is the lack of ability to raise the front end in order to avoid curb damage. You have to be very skilled to get the car into some driveways, etc.
Don’t I know that! Man I’ve learned a lot about driveways with my ZR1 lol
@@HorsePowerObsessed always and without fail I have to come in on an angle and so that makes it hard when I am coming into a parking Andre’s with deep areas between the road way and the parking area. I see them often here in Texas due to the possibility of flooding rains.
Low n nasty, mean, the way its intended to be. Zr1 is 👑 with all due respect to c8 z06
Thank you Justin really enjoyed this video !
I appreciate that, my friend!
ZR1 all day.
I have both. Great cars. My Favorite is the Zr1. That’s just me. But my C8 z07 is a beast.
Great video and content as always and keep up the great work Justin.
Thanks! Will do!
Appreciated this video comparison, Justin. Very impressive.
Thank you, my friend!
Nicely done with the video. Cars look great as always.
Thank you! 👍 That means a lot coming from the guy who has some of the nicest cars I’ve ever seen!
Man that awe w high flow cats sounds insane . Def wins in the sounds department . I went into the video thinking you were gonna say zr1 for sure. Either one u drive tho , man what an experience !
💯 they are both so good it’s hard to say one is better than the other!
love your videos !! keep em coming bro !!!
zr-1 by far !!!!!
I appreciate it, my friend! Thank you!!
C8 is a step up in every cathegory over the C7...but man..that ZR1 is mind blowing! Lucky u Justin..you don't have to choose 😂
at first, I was like C’mon man ZR1 all day long…
then you fired up that Z06 . damn!!!!
So I get it how it’s very difficult to choose which one but if I had both of those I would always keep ZR1 obv as well.
I love first world problems. That’s why we work so hard.!
100% right! Both great cars!
If the question is manual or...the answer is always manual. C7 ZR1 FTW
Both are crazy awesome. Super jealous man - thanks for the comparison video!
No problem! Thank YOU for watching!
Solid comparison between the two! 😎🤘
I appreciate it, man!
Justin you make great case for both vehicles. Great job pointing out all pros and cons. However I’m bit biased loving the interior of my 2024 convertible Z06 and latest technology. Definitely two great Corvettes.👍👍
100% right! Both great but the C8 interior definitely edges out the C7.
Justin i have been waiting for this video. Thank you - -🎉
You’re very welcome! Sorry it took so long!!
I would take the ZR1!
Awesome video! Both cars look actually INSANE and perfect. The way you customized them is PERFECT man. I haven’t seen a better looking one imo ever. And the exhaust of the c8 zo6 you showed was CRAZY 😭😮💨😍 that sound was amazing dude. Enjoy it and stay safe!
Thanks a ton! I appreciate the kind words man!!
ZR1 is the best
Yeah, I don't know if I could just choose 1. Both are just beautiful, but I love all cars😂
I fully agree!
Thats the best answer, Both. they are both different and both unique. I couldn't pick neither if I had both. They both are beautiful especially in the black which in my opinion is the best for both of these cars. Great video.
Thanks! They are really awesome vehicles for different reasons.
Love both, my dream garage
Same here!
Very well done, brother🤘🏻💪🏻🤘🏻🥃
Thank you!!
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!!
Driving a car with a short front end feels like you are driving a bus.........got rid of my porsche 911 because of it and got a c7 Z06......could not be happier.
I've always been a fan of naturally aspirated power, but the C7 ZR1 can be had with a manual. Those two things are what I've always liked about the Viper: a naturally aspirated engine, no automatic option, and no bullshit.
I digress. I am a lifelong Corvette fan and if I had to choose between these two, I would go with the ZR1.
Manual transmission.... That is insane!!!! That would be my choice.
If zr1 is manual than that's my pick. If not I'm going for c8 z06.
Very good review of both vettes and I appreciate the honest opinion of both awesome cars. I like the look of th ZR1 slightly better👍
Thank you! I appreciate the input.
ZR1 is the top Vette to own 2nd Z06
The C8 z06 for me all day, wait until they can tune it!
Now you just need the C8 ZR1 in your garage!
If it is a flat plane crank AND under 220k fully loaded, it will be.
Dope video
I appreciate you!
I remember seeing the C7 ZR1 for the first time and instantly falling in love. It was my dream car until the C8 Z06 came out. The engine alone on the C8 is why it ranks higher for me. I’ve always wanted an engine that has a flat plane crank sound. Maybe down the line I’ll be able to own both of them like you do. You really have the best Corvettes in your garage. I hope to have what you have one day!
The c8 z06 is definitely the first corvette since the c7 ZR1 that really caught my eye!
FPCs sound great but there is just something about an old school pushrod V8 with that classic muscle car sound that makes me prefer it more
Love zr 1
I luv both too. But I bet the ZR1 has more ‘punch u in the face’ torque. And supercharger whine is fun.
The torque is definitely more evident in the ZR1.
Which one is more comfortable to drive when it comes to interior room? I would love to own both of them, but I'm a tall guy and I don't fit very well in either of them. The C8 platform was touted as having a huge increase in legroom, but I'm calling bs on that.
Honestly, the C7 has more leg/head room.
Appreciate the comparison of these two cars. I have a 2018 manual Z06 and I’m looking for a ‘24 or maybe order a ‘25 Z06. Definitely will keep my 2018 car. As a manual, with 650 hp, is so much fun. Excited about the new one too.
Good choice! That’s the way to enjoy it to the max!
I think I was one of the first to have asked the question - which do you like more. I'm pretty sure I asked you in writing about a week or two after you had the C8Z. I like your answer and would probably have given the same response. They are both great in their own way!
You may have been one of the first for sure! My answer has not changed, they really are both great machines!
Totally agree Justin. Traded my C7, Z06 manual for the C8 70th SR. Dropped off one, drove away with the other, back to back. Totally different vehicles, both awesome & unique. In a perfect world would have kept both. 😊
Absolutely the best way, but of course understandably not the easiest or cheapest way.
I’d take the ZR1 every day and twice on Sunday.
I didn’t know you had still the ZR1. Now that you are in Florida keep me in mind-over the next year i want to get a c7 ZR1 so I’ll be looking. I’m dead serious. Plz keep me in mind I’d like a chance at getting it. It’s my favorite car. I own 3 different Hellcat vehicles right now.
Yes sir! I have trouble thinking about selling it. It’s such a good car.
Justin. Great info! Great VLOG. Yes, you are a blessed man. You have all the toys. Congratulations!
PS you didn’t mention the C7 does not have front lift as a con? Why did that not make the list?
That DID make the list originally as a “bonus #6 con” but I thought mentioning ground clearance twice was redundant
Great video!! I like BOTH but not equally! 🤭🤣
Fair enough!
Team C7 🫡
🤘
Love all your videos as always Justin, a lot of your comparisons are things that I hit in a similar video that I did comparing the two generations. In which case I would love your opinion. When it comes to the transmissions the simple fact of the matter is automatics are faster but manuals are more fun, period, end of story. Although I do wish that the c7 came with the TR6060 instead of the TR6070. As far as the DCT goes I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you. With the exception of the clutch packs themselves, that transmission itself is actually unbelievably strong and can easily handle four digit numbers. But just like any transmission there are growing pains with it. Yes there have been some problems but the internet always exaggerates things also. Remember when the 8L90 came out and how many problems that had? It was easily rectified with a fluid exchange. I truly believe they will work all of the kinks out for the DCT. Although I do agree and they should have been worked out at this point.
And as far as your headlights on the c7 goes, you know that there is a way to convert them (easily) to LED right? I did it on mine and here is a link for you to be able to do it with yours.

The ZR1 is a beast
💯
We don’t get a manual for shifting faster, we get it for the experience and fun factor.
Correct.
Both great cars depending on your focus and goals. Wanna go fast c7. Want the sound and a one of a kind driving experience.... c8
Damn Justin, the AWE setup on your C8 Z06 sounds insane! Some of these differences are interesting as they can only be discovered by owning and modifying both cars (e.g. lowering clearance). I will always love the C7, but each car satisfies separate needs.
Edit : I was looking at purchasing a used 2016 manual C7 Z06, but here in Australia 🇦🇺 the asking price is AUD $250,000 + govt. charges! 😱
Thanks man! Those prices are insane!! The C7 is a great platform but I don’t think I’d spend that much for one! 🤯
@@HorsePowerObsessed I know right? Over here your C8 Z06 begins at AUD $350,000. We have import tax, but the luxury car tax on top amounts to 33% of every dollar spent over $76,950 … if you can believe it.
@Virvum_Juggernaut I’ve heard that before and that’s just insane!! If you ever find yourself in the states I’ll gladly take you for a ride in mine!
The non ztk package zr1s look so much better and a lot more rare
The burgh! Let’s go.
You know it!!
I love the looks of the C8, but having owned 5 Vettes over 40 years, must have a manual trans to be a sports car!
My buddy has a c7 and we park at the mall. The c8 gets the most attention. I can’t go nowhere without people stopping me. 😂😂😂😂. I have the convertible 3lt with the carbon fiber.
FACTS!
You forgot to list a con of both vette. That has to be the color black. They look best if wax and sit at a show car. But get dirty quickly once it’s driven and very hard to keep clean. Plus black get really hot 😅
Without XPEL and ceramic coating I would agree but the way I have my cars done, it’s no harder to maintain than any other color. Anyone who has seen my cars in person will confirm this.
The C8 is infinitely better for tall people. I'm 6'5" and can wear a helmet in the C8 while at the track. I can't fit in a C7 even without a helmet. Moving the engine to the back gave a lot more room in the foot well for tall people.
"VS": We need to see a side by side roll race. And have you ever thought about attending(entering) some of those roll race events?
I already did a roll race with these and Street Speed a few months ago. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/EzTqOAZ1Ufo/видео.htmlsi=JA_AxcxuBlnsNy2F
I have a 23 ZO6 and enjoy it. However the engine heat that is delivered to the frunk and trunk is troublesome. The factory does not have a fix for the heat. It is hard to keep the ice cream from melting on the drive home from the store.
That is definitely an issue. I'm surprised they let it get that bad. It was an issue on the Stingray too, but not as much.
C8 Z06 Corvette so😂AMAZING
💯
No brainer Z06
Which is his favorite? Which one is stored away? The one he's driving is his favorite.
I will have a c8zo6. And driven both at the track. The zo6 is far superior period. Lap after lap the c8zo6 ran faster. Zo6 is a track weapon. My buddy sold his zr1 and just bought the zo6.
'16 viper acr, c7 zr1, or c8 zo6 if you had to pick one?
Just as hard. They are all good and have different strong points.
Saying the interior is a small step up from the c7 interior is a huge understatement.
I disagree. The C7 interior is already pretty good. The C8 is better for sure but not by leaps and bounds.
HPO, I see you changed to the factory X brace for the Z06. What was wrong with the tubular one?? (I remember you said it was stiffer than factory)
Just trying something different. Not sure which way I’m going yet. One is more performance and one is more so aesthetic.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I vote performance.
I usually do too but we’re talking 2% difference
@@HorsePowerObsessed Those 2%s add up......
@Hanover_Fist absolutely does!
Do you know if there is a nurburing time for the C8 Corvette Z07 or Z06
None that I’ve heard yet…
If the ZR1 was automatic it would cost a lot less, you can give me the details of the camera you use it has a good quality
💯 the camera I have is a Panasonic s5iix with a 18mm lens.
I’m on the side of “Sell them and get the C8 ZR1!”
I don't think I can sell the C7 ZR1....
@@HorsePowerObsessed - I have a feeling the C8 ZR1 is gonna eat the C7 ZR1’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
It may, but the c7 is still the last manual front engine. That makes it special.
You can’t replace the ZR1.
It can’t be replaced like the Z06 can.. ZR1’s value is up to $250,000 and probably rising.. It’s a collectible.
@2020matrix8 💯
Like 2 Black Mambas 🐍
💯 🐍🐍
Compare 24 zr1& 24 z06?
The c8 is way better to me. More comfortable also.
C8Z looks sexy, the sound kills it for me though. Don’t get me wrong, it sounds good. Just not a sound I’d expect or want from a Corvette. I think even the OHC LT5 on the C4 ZR1 sounds better to me. Then again, just stating my opinion for shits and giggles since this video is for public view. Not that I can afford either! 😂. 2 sweet rides at the end of the day!
C8 Z06 for the win,
hands down!
It’s such a good car!
To very, very bad a** rides.I like them both
I absolutely agree!
Great comparison video, but the C8 Z06 is actually wider than the C7 ZR1.
I just read that but believe it or not in person it does not look that way. The ZR1 looks considerably wider… weird.
Well passenger is just that a passenger..sit down hold on and be quiet.. I am Driver. No con...Justin lol
😂😂😂 I agree!!
I choose the c7 before watching
Which car wins a roll race?
ZR1 by a hair. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/EzTqOAZ1Ufo/видео.htmlsi=JA_AxcxuBlnsNy2F
C7 Auto Z06!
Shame you never addressed what was listed in your video title but I think I know why. I don't have the funds or the garage to match your lineup but I do own a few. I dumped my C8 back in 2022 for a couple of C6's, a 2010 GS Convertible and a 2009 Z06. When it comes to Corvettes I feel the topic of interior is null and void, if "Interior" quality and comfort is a discussion point that I feel nothing at the price point can come close to a Lexus LC500. Favorite car? when one is fortunate enough to own several, I would say a favorite really depends on the driving scenario. Weekend, top-down duty with wife, The GS of course. HPDE and track days, the C6 Z06 wins hands down, even over the C8 I used to own. Daily driving and long road trips, the LC500 always. Have to mention my F250 SP, without her, boat and RV don't go anywhere. ;)
I did talk about it at the end. Each is my favorite at different times.
Good vidio
I appreciate it!
No comp seats in the ZR1? Sorely missed option.
Agreed. Sucks. I’m working on adding them though.
I can, C7 ZR1 Corvette is the KING Corvette, and it's still better than the C8 Corvette Z07
Zr1 and I don’t even need to say why
C7 ALL DAY
Manual is the _only_ way to go IF you actually enjoy to drive.
C7zr1 ….. if I went a dohc motor I’ll buy my Shelby back …
