Ok 👍👍👍
The JD award for sure.
Nice review keep up the good work Jacob and Yuri
🔥
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!
We need a TH & TSP crossover after that 2:28 cameo!!! 😁🙏
That was the crossover. We have been planning it for year
@@TheStraightPipes very well executed!
@@TheStraightPipes Maybe in a few years you will do a full episode if both teams can forgive one another and if there are lots of money to be made from the video :D
@@TheStraightPipes Could both groups put aside their pride and squash the beef and just make a collab already… I watch both for very different reasons.
I'll take a full Netflix series to compete with that "Prime Video car guy show" where these four are pulling shenanigans across Canada (or the globe)
2:28 That TH cameo was funny
I really hope they do an collab in the future
Didn’t they have beef?
@@drevato2861 yes
We ate breakfast with them and Parker. Top Gear North America confirmed
@@TheStraightPipes hope the friction you guys had is water under the fridge now!
This sounds like 458 Italia and looks like it behaves also quite similar. Fantastic because it was probably best ferrari v8 ever.
Exactly like I was thinking
Yes, flat crank V8 engines.
@@vladimirdorta6692 yes
Chevy tested it alongside 458s and even bought a 458 engine online to directly benchmark it
Thissssssssssssssssssssss!
I'mma call it right now, this is probably the car of the year just because of that engine, it sounds SO great! ❤️
Gonna be hard to beat the boxer engines in the Porsche GT3/GT4RS, 9k rev is nuts in a flat 6.
Enter 911gt3rs
Easily COTY winner.
I agree.
Lets goooo! This is probably gonna receive the car of the year award!
Lets goooo!Ford who is involved in children trafficking and peoph1lia just made another super car to make more money they can't use because they basically have all the money in the world!Lets goooooo!
Or the GT4RS…
They seem biased to US cars
@@blackcatvibing I disagree, they get excited over imports too. It's hard to not be hyped about this car, it's dope
@@blackcatvibing This is the most european US car in history
Loved that view of Thomas and James! Great moment. The Z06 is such an amazing car.
It’s nice to see that the new Z06 Z07 is actually living up to the hype as expected when it was during testing. The sound is familiar to the old Ferrari game. I know Ferrari has had flat plane cranks themselves in real life… but the audio reminds of the old Ferrari Racing game commonly found at arcade arenas. I’m talking like 15-20 years ago. It’s all good.
F355 Challenge! Love that game, audio was dope as, and using a clutch in an arcade game was so innovative!
@@GottaBeAbstract YES! That’s the one i am talking about. Thanks!
I always thought the C8 was ugly but they nailed it with the wider and lower Z06/Z07s. Beautiful machines, and absolutely love that they added the flat plane crank. Huge step forward for GM.
This car looks nice, I agree. I'm just not sure why I would buy one. 620 HP is a pretty much useless where I live. I have 328 HP and it's overkill for my area. But if you live out in the sticks, this Vette could be a lot of fun.
@@cdsersd2d that’s what im starting to realize about all my dream cars, where am I gonna drive them? 😂
@@jameshumphrey3425 Can you delete the spoiler? Looks like it was designed by an 8 year old boy with crayons while he was overdue for a nap.
@@BezmenovDisciple Yes you can, specifically by not ordering the Z07 track performance package. Instead of the purpose built high downforce rear wing, the Z06 comes with a very tasteful looking (and still functional) ducktail spoiler.
Pulled up alongside a Z-07 at a light the other day. Looked like a space ship, with carbon fiber wheels. Could feel the vibration of ITS engine in MY steering wheel.
Thought I found a half-million dollar Italian hyper-car in rural IL (somehow).
Then I saw the twin flags, and thought "Oh my. Corvette, what kind of monster have you made?"
Was it blue?
Was it blue!?
@@TheStraightPipes Red actually.
And dear god does that engine sound good.
It was the car in front of the car in front of me. I pulled around where the road widened for a stoplight (was gonna pass the 2 cars in front of me), but when i saw the vette, I was like "well no, i'm probably not gonna pass THAT". I guess it was brand new, and the driver was pampering it, breaking it in. They were pretty slow.
I didn't even try to pass. Just watched it go when the light changed.
@@kathrynck now i get why you confused it with a ferrari 😆
@@lolheads579r I hadn't really been keeping up with the C8 design. It looked very itallian at a glance ;)
Just imagine how insane the C8 ZR1 is gonna be...
I think they are going to pay homage to Arkus-Duntov by calling it the Zora, hopefully. If he had his way the C3 Corvette and onward would have been mid engine.
Hybrid
@@AntilleanConfederation God I hope not.
@@chrisc3731 Can't you see the writing on the wall?
@@anydaynow01 The ZR-1 is projected to push 850 horses and The Zora 1000 hp, AWD, Twin Turbo with an electric engine upfront.
That orange is the best color for this car I have seen so far, fits great.
It rhymes with the orange Koenigsegg Jeskó in my opinion.
It’s a sad state of affairs when corny creamsicle orange is the “best” color 🤮
The green looks too Lambo, the red looks too Ferrari. The orange is just right and matches the car perfectly. It’s very unique even though it’s so similar to every other supercar.
@@markm0000 I'll take the red to make people think it's a Ferrari from the side until I fly by them and show the rear.
@@HawkSea Nice 👍
Loved seeing that launch in the rain. GM does a really, really fantastic job with their traction control
I literally watched the first 40 seconds and I’m already happy. The looks, the sound, it’s incredible.
Sounds like a 458 and that is my all time dream car. This is gonna be so amazing
Incredible. If you’re an engine guy like myself, you realize this engine is very special (for a factory GM engineespecually). Nailed it! Can’t wait for some forced induction on this amazing piece.
Just plain sounds like the way a race car should! Amazing great American engineering. (Full disclosure: I'm a former GM engineer and marketer.)
I have so many questions about past GM endeavors. 😭
@@NFSBeast2365 Well I can tell you, that as far as an exotic engine goes. GM wanted to do it for a long time. But didn't like how it would suit a front engine car. So they waited till they made their mid engine chassis, before doing it.
@@NFSBeast2365 Feel free to ask. I left in 2005, so it's been a while.
@@hahamasala I was curious as to why Pontiac was killed off back in 2008-2009. I also heard from somebody that Pontiac was initially planning on stopping production on all their “non-sporty” vehicles (minivans and SUVs) and focus on their more sporty offerings.
@@iTrinityPlays I thought it was the GT rules that forced them to a 5.5l engine displacement so they pulled out all the stops to get the most power from it, then used that tech for the Z06 to recoupe some of the development costs, not to mention with the Z07 track package you get überbeetle GT3 RS performance for near Carrera money.
Don't let the old "get off my grass" guys fool you... THIS corvette is amazing
Favourite way to start a monday morning! Awesome review guys!
I LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT EXHAUST!!! GREAT REVIEW GUYS!!!
Great job guys!!! Your reactions and facial expressions are always a hoot!!!
With the style, performance as well as cost. This thing is undeniably a supercar
It's the fact that pretty much the whole car-tuber community has uploaded a c8 z06 review at the same time today.. pretty cool tho 😄
Embargo
@@TheStraightPipes Embargo
Hey! Nice to see the throttle house z06 review is being made, I like those guys quite a bit, throttle house and straight pipes are my main car channels at this point.
Saw one of these in the same spec with manufacturer plates driving around the suburbs of Detroit. The sound in person is intoxicating!
Of always loved Corvettes but this one is special. It literally sounds like a rocket taking off. It sounds so good I’m so jealous of you guys. I keep up the good work.
Love you guys and love Throttle House. Glad yal dont beef...theres a place for you both fr fr no cap. (I watch yal more
ofc they don't beef, they Canadian
My brother's company buys a lot of GM trucks so he was able to order a Z06 from GM with no mark-up. They told him it will be ready early next year.
They’ve really upped their game on the interiors. Massive
Hi 👋🏻 Thomas & Hi 👋🏻 James. Happy to see Straight Pipes and Throttle House getting to play with the good stuff together 🏁‼️
That's definitely a sweet ride! I don't care for red interiors myself but I really like all the interior & exterior color options! It should keep them somewhat unique but they are already going to be pretty trendy. The startup animation was really cool also. Looked like a lot of fun on the track! You guys are so lucky.
Great video guys. Awesome car. I love that the three car channels I follow each show a different car in their thumbnails.
You guys did a fine review of what is certainly one of the most important cars in history 😀 its incredible 👏
I can't wait to see the ZR1. The Z06 is crazy and it's going to be interesting to see how they go from there.
i heard they are making a Zora thats twin turbo and has an electric motor with like 1000 hp. i that is true it will be fucking insane.
Ashame you got the classic Pittsburgh weather, but it's awesome that it handled itself so well under the conditions.
I was getting strong gran turismo replay vibes watching the opening with the white/blue stripe Z06 rip around the track with that rock music!
Loved seeing the Throttle House guys! Need to see a video where all you guys team up on a review!
I love how like 5 different youtubers all released a corvette video at the same time. This must have been planned
Review embargo lifted
This has to win some awards! I’ll just take the first generation Z51 because that’s all I need.
The C8R has been cleaning up in racing so far, I can only imagine the online track battles between the Corvette Z07 package and überbeetle GT3 RS.
never thought I'd hear a corvette sounding like a ferrari...what a time to live
Well done guys! Amazing car.
Luckies. I actually had a deposit in on a rumoured “ZR1” or Zora. But I dropped out when it became super obvious I was never getting an allocation.
Find a better dealer, you'll find one somewhere. If not, when the ZR1 is announced. Be super annoying about it to your local dealer. They'll take you serious with cash waving around in their face. Something tells me that the ZR1 is going to be absolutely filthy.
@@iTrinityPlays this was Canadas largest Volume Corvette dealer. I had a deposit in.
@@2THPWR Damn, unfortunately honestly. Hey, same here in good ol' Ohio! Lol If anything then, good luck with a ZR1 allocation! Hope you get one.
Wuling owner here, proud of GM!!!
Shows how Good value it is (at retail) when $40'000 odd of extras and packs still leaves it looking a bargin😀
$140,000 for a super car is an amazing bargain
@@Cj-qk7il But $140,000 for one Corevette is really too much
@@s1lv3rr no it’s not when it has the same performance as cars $300,000+
@@Cj-qk7il
True ... if it always goes straight he beats everyone. 😂😂
The problem for this car is that the real roads also have curves and braking..
@@s1lv3rr bro this car is literally a track car… it’s built almost specifically for the track and will have a sub 7 minute nurburgring time. you clearly know nothing ab the car🤣
Imagine the sound of this car with aftermarket exhausts 😵💫
This is pretty much ferrari 458 on steroids. Same recipe, just much much much better
@@Bijiketapang001 I wouldn’t say much better. The gearbox in the 458 may not be as quick but it definitely adds to the excitement.
@@Bijiketapang001 correct indeed
Gintani needs to get their hands on one asap
@@Bijiketapang001 lol. It’s not much much better. The 458 weighs significantly less and is more raw and visceral.
I sure hope GM has taken into account maintainability for this incredible engine! No $1,000 oil changes ;-)
The first time one of these is in an HPDE at VIR is going to be crazy!
My God....I've never been a huge corvette fan but damn they made it sound amazing on top of the great looks. That noise sold me 🤝🏼
FINALLY!!! After years of debate. The corvette is finally a super car!!!
I love it because it encapsulates exactly what Chevrolet dreamed about his company becoming
Wow, finally getting real hands on reviews of the Z06. God I want one so bad.
The good news is unlike a Lamborghini or Ferrari these will actually be attainable, in the distant future, in a used car lot 😅.
You guys was in my state!!!
Nice guys!!! That was subtle!
Amazing all around, Was hoping they will have the redesigned 7 speed manual gearbox option too
Congratulations to GM for producing this.
Jakub seems stoked to be driving this 😃
Fast loud car good
@@TheStraightPipes Oh yes...... 🙂
The day they make this AWD will be game-over for the competition 😮
👍 wow great video thanks for all your effort
We live in strange times, where Chevy of all manufacturers, makes a N/A V8 super sports car that sounds more like an oldschool Ferrari, than an actual modern Ferrari. Can't wait to see what they gonna do with the ''Zora''.
It took them an eternity and notes taken from an actual 458 to produce the sound Ferrari made famous in the 80-90s.
But they got there!!!
@@JV8901 Yep the engineers finally won over the management, it only took a federal government bailout and a change in international racing engine rules to do it. GM has always had amazing engineers, they were just hamstrung from the business side of the house. Kind of like how VW bailed out their Porsche and Audi brands by forcing them to badge engineer SUVs.
@@anydaynow01 Hopefully with the profits they’re making now they can weather a economic collapse and keep going with engineers in power.
@@JV8901 What are you talking about? Do _you_ even know? GM been had the engineers to compete on this level, many of them who worked on the C8 project have been with the company for decades. Ferrari and GM’s relationship also goes back at least a decade back when they were borrowing GM’s MRC technology - licensing it to implement their engineering into some of their own products.
@@anydaynow01 the clown mentioning a bailout from over a decade ago that was paid back *early.* 🤡
Now for the dealerships to charge double msrp for it 😂.
Seriously tho, one of the coolest cars on the market atm
WOW! That sounds exotic smooth 👌🏼👌🏼
Obsessed! Great video guys. Like the details you included on the Z07 pak
Thanks Howard
Yes I put my money down on a ZO6 in April of 2020 (before the car was announced)
The dealership told me they'd be selling it at MSRP. Then last week they told me they were jacking up the price (market increase) of $50k after 2+ years of telling me i'd be getting it for MSRP (Which I can only afford due to a big down payment I've been saving up for a while). Yes, other dealerships are doing worse, but that was enough to take me out of the market and too late to get on another dealerships list.
So I'm getting a Stingray now and keeping it until I can get an allocation for another ZO6 at MSRP.
damn, sorry to hear that
That is horrible. Make sure you tell everybody about their bad practices, maybe post it on corvette forums, greedy dealerships like that do not deserve our business.
This is horrible. Leave them a bad review for sure. GM should shut them down.
Should have got that in writing bud. Sorry they are screwing you.
Sorry to hear that. In the future, get it in writing of a dealer commitment to sell at msrp. I did this with mine.
it sounds like a 488 almost. I like it. C5 Z06 Is My Favorite Still
That red interior is simply fan-bloody-tastic!! I love it!
Click and hold the shift pedal while in Manual Mode, instead of clicking down over and over. The ECU will automatically and aggressively quick shift to the exact gear and RPM needed. Quite the rush!
This car is a certified beast the engine sounds very loud awesome
Amazing car! Love the fact that this engine exists in a brand new 2023 model vehicle.
I was really looking forward to the red steering wheel being offered with the red interior. There is the aftermarket though!
Finally a really good and informative video of the z06
Watch savegegeese video
Nice catch Yuri!
…can you guys move somewhere where it isn’t raining or snowing? Lol. Love the channel, guys! 🙏🏾🫡
We don’t even live in Pittsburgh
Needs a manual transmission option. DSG for the track guys. Manual for the those looking for smiles more than seconds.
I'm not a GM fan but that exhaust note is pure music.
Yuri, good work straightening things out. You didn't freeze.
Yuri never freeze
The sound!! That's totally a Ferrari V8 sound now😮
Yeah that was shocking, the high revs was very European V8 which I think suits it really well considering it’s now a mid engine car like those European supercars!
Now let’s get ready to see a bunch of these with an 80 year old straight driving it around with a completely silent exhaust. So excited!!
In Germany it is the same 80 year old driving completely silent and unexciting, but with a Porsche instead. Every Porsche you see, 9 out of 10 times it is an old man or women.
YURI👏👏👏 NICE JOB ON THE WING IN THE THUMBNAIL
Jarmel!!!
I did the Stingray launch in NV. So awesome
Thing is an absolute rocket and already sounds badass, the exhaust seems pretty heavily engineered as is, I wonder if it will experience problems with an aftermarket exhaust and a tune.
The way it sounds, I don’t think you will need a aftermarket exhaust… it has one that rips!
Great review guys. Obviously you love this car and say how significant it is. How would you compare it to the CT5V Blackwing in significance? Which would be car of the year if you rated them in the same year?
Thanks!
Good question, they should make a video comparing them
Both serve different purposes. Both amazing. Z06 car of the year. The Z06 is also more significant but it might not be the one we'd take at the end of the day depending how many cars you already own and how much you like manual 🤔
CT5 Blackwing? I WISH I HAD ONE 😢
Sick ride! Want one!!!
GREAT JOB GUYS 👏👏👏👏👏👏 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE
TheStraightPipes❤️
Throttle House ❤️
I been seeing 40k-90k mark up depending on the spec. The mark up is crazy for them. I thought I was going to get on until I started looking. I'm like nah that's a lamb or Ferrari price then
Bought it. Delivery in about a month. Can't wait!!
this car is always under rated and is truly a bad ass car for sure. i would love to own one
I love how the corvette was created to compete with European sports cars, and now it’s supercar territory baby! God bless GM
🤣🤣 OMG
The CorvetteZO6 such amazing sound already 😎👍
Nice road test, this is a heck of a value
I just love this thing. Proper automobile.
Can’t wait to see Misha drive this on the Nurburgring
They knocked this out of the park, “not that I didn’t expect them not to” - wow triple negative! I can’t even think that fast to say that.
I'm basically a rapper
@@TheStraightPipes I will watch many Z06 videos but yours will always be the first!
The beginning
music was awesome
I spec'd the off road tires. Army green w/ camo interior and 8tracktape player.
can’t wait to see these at dealers with a 100k “market adjustment”
Im in England, and theres no other way to say it. This car is great. Id rather have this than a Porsche or Ferrari. Well done Corvette. Brilliant.
Life is so much better when I'm subscribed to TheStraightPipes AND ThrottleHouse.
Thanks for the explanation about the different steering calibration with CF wheels vs. with standard wheels. Is there a way to get GM to program the other steering calibration even with the heavier wheels? I would like to have that mode switchable on the fly for non Z07.
Possibly if the dealer knows what they're doing. But it won't be on the fly. You either have the CF wheel calibration or you have the non CF calibration programmed
The gt350's flat plane crank is only "sort of" a flat plane crank. They made changes so that it wouldn't sound like the typical flat plane.
Pretty dumb move, but it produced a monster sounding car!
The sad part is, this generation of Corvette is a shift away from the "poor man's race car" - dealer mark ups are going to kill a generation of car enthusiasts
This generation of Corvette is a shift away from being a real Corvette to being just a real life Gran Turismo car
Just give it a few years the prices will come down significantly when the C9 is released. The same thing happened with the C7 at launch.
@@markm0000 along with GM's quality which wasn't high to begin with
The looks 🥱
Machine 🔥
