Letting a rare car as such sit so long is not good. When the market becomes stable, these cars value will most likely be absurd with this car being the ultimate expression of the front engine Corvette. People are not treating it as such, but actual series ending cars are USUALLY the collector car. Keeping all the bearings and reciprocating metal surfaces in working order requires driving them to operating temperature every few months. Leno has a full time dude that does nothing but keep rotation of his collection in pristine condition by driving them. He only puts a few miles on every year, but buyers of his cars know its in premium condition.

I’m sorry I think the C7 is more beautiful than the C8. The C8 just don’t look like a Corvette. now with that being said, I have drove a C8 a few times and it is amazing on the inside, but there’s nothing like a C7
Oh man, I freakin' LOOOOOOVE the ZR-1... it looks so good! That battery is impressive but I'm not rushing out to buy one, though. I'll just continue to disconnect the negative battery cable on my cars that don't get driven that often.
It offers a lot of benefits outside of shelf life like saving 20 pounds off the stock one, far longer life (12+ years), etc but I get it. It isn't for everyone.
Many of those same folks know that it isn't wise to put a "car cover" on a dirty car. If the car was clean when it was put away, I would have used a cover.

Understandable. I've been speaking with a lot of people recently with brand new cars having battery issues. I think GM uses a pretty weak battery which is causing problems.

That was amazing! My '14 Stingray and '24 Z-06 and my '55 Bel Air are all on Battery tender! However when the '14 Stingray needs a battery i would love to purchase an Anti Gravity Battery!👍😊
I don’t have an issue with it. I was just trying to cut time as much as possible in that segment. Same reason why I didn’t film the entire part of the car backing out.
No. I have the cover from GM I just never put it on because the car was dirty whenever I parked it in there. Putting a car cover on a dirty car is definitely asking for trouble.
I appreciate it! My black cars with XPEL ppf and ceramic coating have been pretty easy to maintain I just had to put this one away in a hurry and didn’t have a chance to clean it up or put the car cover on it but in the future it will be different.

I agree. I’m happy to have it home.
You should’ve filmed the moment that Amber came home and kicked one of the cars out of the garage! 🤣

I can’t believe she was gone for a year!!
Almost!
I could almost cry watching you cold start it after 8 months without at least cranking it and getting the oil pressure up before actually starting it.
Folks that are obsessed with their new toys always neglect their old toys.
As a C7 Z06 owner I'm more than happy with my toy.
Not anymore!
the wife just needs to sacrifice that's why she has remote start on her vehicle lol. my wife Parks her x5m outside so the toys are inside
It is just a mean machine. I dont care about these hypercars...this is the real deal. I will have the ACS fins installed on mine next week😊! Have fun!

Always appreciate it, my man!!

Talking about the shine between both Z06 & ZR1…. do you have PPF on one or both?
Both are fully PPF'd and ceramic coated. The ONLY way I'd own black cars.
A year ! Shame on you lol
Great battery !
Right?! I feel like an idiot. Especially after I got in it and all of the reasons why I keep this car came flooding back to me!
That Pontiac 6000 though….❤️ 😂😂😂
The REAL star of the show!
I think this just shows how amazing the Z06 is. Being able to go that long without wanting it out is an indication.
Yes and no. I always forget how great this car is to drive until I drive it. Now I'm addicted again lol
I've had several, yes it will start
As nice as that Z06 is, the ZR1 is just insane. The pinnacle of front engined Corvettes
Couldn't agree more. This car is really THE car for me.
You should do a demo of the AI box to the C8 , I would be interested
I will be doing that next!
Ok, where do I purchase this battery? I had a battery go 9 years on my '98 Pace Car keeping it on battery tender. 😊

Yea, my battery is brand new now. I can’t just shed 1k to replace a perfectly good battery. I will switch to Antigravity in another 3 years or so.
Understandable. I've been speaking with a lot of people recently with brand new cars having battery issues. I think GM uses a pretty weak battery which is causing problems.
@@HorsePowerObsessed
Not just GM… all batteries are not what they used to be. The battery companies are using recycled lead to build new batteries.
@McIntosh1006 True.
Gas has a shelf life , octane degrades , ethonol collects moisture.
Correct. That’s why you should use something like stabil to keep it fresh longer.

You guys must keep a battery tender on the new Z06’s. So simple to plug in.
Car cover?
Normally, yes, but you don't put a cover on a dirty car.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I mean cover it when you put it in storage a year ago. (Hindsight)
You need to move to Florida
I'm considering it!

@@HorsePowerObsessed Thanks for the response.
No problem!
Would this AI box work on 2015 Z06?
Unfortunately, no. Only 16 and up because the 15's didn't have anything for carplay.
@@HorsePowerObsessed do you have any recommendations for 2015 Z that kinda act like apple car play?
There is a unit out there you can buy to swap out the 2015 setup to a 2016+ setup but it isn't cheap.
Is c8 zr1 come with right hand drive?
No word on that yet but they have been sending C8 Corvettes overseas in the past so probably.
Actually... Looks like they won't be... www.corvetteblogger.com/2024/09/26/europe-will-not-be-selling-the-new-c8-corvette-zr1/
So the question then begs to be asked, why did you let it sit for 8 months? 🤔
I’ve been super busy with things going on in the South Florida shop, as well as the whole out of sight out of mind thing…
Just keep a cover on it.
I would do that but it was dirty when I put it away. Putting a cover on a dirty car is a bad idea.
It shows Full tank of gas ⛽️ Is that gas bad ?
No. I use Stabil anytime a car is going to be sitting for a while. I will however, use it up and replace it asap.
Isn't the car designed to not lock with the keys inside?
Yes, but my battery was dying on the key fob so it wasn't maintaining a good connection.
It's been a year?!?!
Almost... Insane.
No, not without a battery tender. Ok, back to the video. Will I be shocked?🤷
I think you will be!!
That was amazing! My '14 Stingray and '24 Z-06 and my '55 Bel Air are all on Battery tender!

Oh. I don’t struggle but it’s not the easiest car to get into.

I like the zo6 but the Zr1 is way better
Are you afraid that a car cover will scratch it?
No. I have the cover from GM I just never put it on because the car was dirty whenever I parked it in there. Putting a car cover on a dirty car is definitely asking for trouble.
Absolutely! I had a black c6 z06 with all the carbon fiber trim and it was definitely a challenge to keep clean!

Why would you park that beauty I'm an outside garage and not drive it when u love that car so much ? Just doesn't make any sense
Outside garage? It was kept in a temperature controlled indoor garage…
It starts (my guess)
I honestly didn't think it was going to without hitting the jump start button on the Antigravity battery but it started right up no issues.
@@HorsePowerObsessedIt could be because the car wasn’t exposed to the weather for the last year.
It would never be. It's always garage kept even at my house.

i hate to say this brother but you might wanna sell the zr1 if you letter sit like that.
That won't be happening again.
