The 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Is Ferrari's Worst Nightmare
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2022
- The 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 could possibly be the most anticipated sports car of the year. From the very moment you step in the C8 Z06 your mind says "this...can't be a Corvette."
That's exactly what Chevrolet wanted you to think and what they have accomplished is astounding. They built a flat plane crank V8 completely from scratch with none of the drawbacks of a high revving engine. The Z06 actually in fact became the first car in years to have me sit back and ask myself "what time do we live in?" Ferrari better watch out - the Corvette is coming for you.
So what makes the Corvette Z06 so astonishing? Let's go for a drive and let me tell you all about it.

"Am I in the wrong car?"
Now that we know its this good, imagine them one upping it with a ZR1 🤯
Ima just waiting for someone to supercharger on it because f it right t
Tdib review of the new z06- "GOD!!!!!!"
Can you say the same when comparing the GR Corolla Core to Circuit/Morizo?
@@adriancandelaria531 It'll most likely be a hybrid with the trend of things.
My biggest worry will be the intended group of people it's supposed to be accessible for. Chevy said they're going to punish dealers who mark it up past MSRP. (Already videos circulating about 90k+ mark ups) If they don't actually slam the hammer down on these clowns, joe everyman won't ever see one. It'll just end up as another ultra-wealthy toy instead of the super car killer at the 100k price point.
How many average Joes can afford $100K performance cars though?
@@MisterMikeTexas That isn't the point, the point is, for it's extreme level of performance it performs at a weight class that extremely few can afford, while having a price tag WAY more people can manage. $100k~ is way more doable than you think verses 250-500k. I know that sounds insane but it really isn't.
We don't need greedy cunts, marking up these 'affordable' supercars so only the ultra-elite can afford them.
@@MisterMikeTexas construction joes got money to blow on vettes
@@MisterMikeTexas I can name off a bunch of guys making 35hr+ plus OT who have toys at this price range
actually the dealers are already stating $200k markups. So you're buying a $350k+ Chevy Corvette, that has as fast of a 40-80mph time than my modified MK7 GTI...
It’s a shame they’re being marked up so much. Uncle of mine was set on getting one, (he has a C8 stingray right now,) but was hit with a 25k dealer markup. Needless to say it’s not happening now lol
Problem is, if he doesnt pay the 25k, there's 10 people in line behind him who absolutely will.
Mightaswell pay because in the long run the car will triple in price by 2030, the 19 ZR1 now is worth a GT3RS while being sold for $120k
First world problems:(
Car manufacturers need to work out a new deal with the government so they can sell direct to customers. Dealers are ruining this for everyone.
That's ridiculous .. different world we're living in now
The C8 Z06 has definitely become a dream car for me, and I didnt even care for the Z07 package until hearing you talk about it. Im super excited it stayed a NA V8, and Chevy is definitely letting them go out with a bang before hybrids and electrics take over.
Fuck hybrids and electrics
Jim has been absolute garbage since the 90s, if you're in the Auto world you know this, just remember you're going to drop a buck 30 probably on one of these maybe a little more, it's like buying a Renault or a Fiat dude! I'd rather buy a 2-year-old recent NSX surgical machine! I drive American trucks and Japanese cars just saying, LOL. Toyota and Honda just make better s*** man! All the way around consumer to the company to the way they run their company the way their machines work and the factories the customer service is way Superior! And my dad taught me this in the early '70s and they're still winning. C8 cool car yes, is it worth the money? No.. at 60 Grand yes. ✌️🇺🇸
@@bsellman6881 a c8 is a cool car, the Z06 is something else entirely. I dont want a 2 year old NSX, I want American muscle while it still exists. You don't know me but I daily drive a Camaro which has been flawless, and I'm big in the auto world. Every car has its problems, some are worth the price tag, some aren't. Z06 seems fine by me but I'll be on the look out for some 6 month owner reviews.
@@RideWithDanger but it's not American muscle that term came from an era that actually defines a front engine high performance power plant, it could be rear engine for example the Shelby GT40 even though that's a difference story, that's a car that Chevy looked at and they're so cheap and government funded that, it's easier to cheat let's buy a Ferrari, but it's the same kind of unreliable garbage, with the different flavor you know it's not lemon it's lime but it's citrus LOL, I don't think this error is over and in fact the money is in the old cars there's a couple components you can't replace new technology with, if you know what I mean, it's real simple I love the co6 I have bad dreams about selling mine, LOL tuned trackworthy, beast, I could run with modern cars all day, had her 07. All mustangs are going to be made for at least 5 or 10 or maybe 15 more years or better, all the hoorah about global warming and we're going to battery Man this is going to be over pretty soon!
@@bsellman6881 I'm not sure what world you are living in, but enjoy it. I'm going to work hard and hopefully buy a Z06 because I want one. Sorry the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in a corvette isn't enough American muscle for you.
This sound is to die for.
I think I have another one on my dream car list.
U can die if u can’t drive it properly and lack common sense
It is like getting the most expensive car in a video game. That sound
Uff
With the trend toward hybridization and electrification, I have a feeling the C8 Z06 is going to hold its value extremely well for the foreseeable future. The only way it could be any better would be the option for a manual but I dont think that's ever going to happen.
The biggest mistake GM made with the C8 (well, that and the styling). Oh well, a few wrecked Z06s later, and we'll probably start seeing them in C7s.
i think the c8 z06 might just be too fast for a manual lol
@@ryanzhang4897 I would gladly sacrifice a a few seconds on the 0-100 to be able to manually row through the gears, they would have to make or source new transaxle manual for it, not to mention the the linkage, shifter etc. Lotta R&D for an afterthought, would be cool though.
@@ryanzhang4897 There is no such thing as too fast for a manual
@@samuelbonorden429 Facts. Just look at Group C cars! They could have easily made the C8 a Manual 6 speed
I think the sound of this car fits that body/chassis so much better than the LT2. We rented a base C8 in Cali for a few days and it was a blast to drive, but the sound doesn't match the look very much.
Yep. The flat plane car is the one to have.
It's bullshit, electric isn't the future at all, car companies are just comspiring to make it that way because it causes everything to cost more
Sounds exotic!
The C8 is such a winning platform, congrats to GM for making the Corvette name truly special
they ruined the corvette legacy with the c8, it's a good car, if a little ugly, but why make a completely new style of car that will never live up to the c5 and c6
@@houseking9211 "live up to the c5" 😂🤡🤡🤡
@@papa_pt the c5 is a legendary corvette than had tons of success in motorsport, which the c8 clearly will not have, it isn't a good enough car to compete with porsche or ferrari
@@houseking9211 why is it clear that the C8 won't have that? This is the most motorsport esque engine they've ever produced. 670hp NA starting at 106k vs. 500hp GT3 at 160k (assuming no options or markup)
@@papa_pt motorsport has very little to do with the roadcar, pratt and miller do their best work with front mid cars, not with whatever ugly 458 clone they're working with now. Plus gte is going to be dead soon and GM has never tried gt3 before which has even more competition
Whenever I'm hard driving, I always have a small bag of candied ginger. It helps a LOT if you're doing hard turns, or hitting small rollers all day! It only started happening to me in my mid 20's and it stopped around mid 30's. I still take candied ginger to the track (and trails) though!😋
The way I see it, other than the new Z06, the C4 Zr1 was the last great experimental production Corvette. That all aluminum, Lotus designed DOHC 5.7 was absolutely nuts. Especially after it went from 375 horsepower to 405 in 1993. Having a car go 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, a quarter mile in 12.70 and a top speed of over 180 in 1993 and not having to buy a big nameplate like Ferrari or Lamborghini was insane. Chevy really knows what they're doing when it comes to designing ground breaking performance cars. As a Mopar guy I give them hella respect.
Lotus did a wonderful job with the C4 engine. I was really hoping the engine that powers the Emira would be of Lotus design.
C6 w the ls7 should be on the list too. Because with only 8k in mods you can get it to be a reliable 600+whp NA z06. Actual bang for your buck before dealer markups like today's were a thing lol
@@GetShrektMrKrabs that is true. The LS7 is legendary. And retiring it out of the Corvette and slapping it in the Z28 Camaro was a good move on Chevrolet's part
They did the same with icons like the 1986 Grand National GNX and 1991 GMC Syclone AWD turbo S15 truck.
@@GetShrektMrKrabs The LS7 like this new motor was a proper race-bred engine. The LS7 is without a doubt my favorite pushrod V8 ever produced.
Nissan Z, Z06, S650, WRX, GR86/BRZ and Manual Supra, it’s a good time to be a car guy/girl.🤭
Um... not when these same cars are marked up 30-40k
@@EddieStixx what can you do, it’s part of the game🤷🏾♂️markups were inevitable idk why everyone is acting surprised now lol, just give it time, prices will come down.
Maybe the BEST time!
I say this as an owner of an STI. Meh, maybe the WRX shouldn't be on this list...
@@carlosmoreno9987 I felt I should include it for the WRX community, I mean Ik it wasn’t the most well received drop this year, but aye..I mean they tried lol, wish they would’ve just modernized the last Gen model, but they went a completely different route…..
way to go, chevy....thats a straight up race car, and even more impressive that they kept it NA
Just like you said you did when you first got out on the track when I heard that thing just said wtf! That thing sounds wicked such a unique exhaust note sounds like a mix between a v10 Lamborghini and a Mclaren
Eww mclarens sound like ass in comparison with there weak turbo v8s
@@Sideways_Singh tell me how you've never driven a McLaren, without telling me...
@@JacesOwnWorld tell me how uve never driven any performance car in real life and are a fake car enthusiast. How u comparing one of the weakest sounding cars to a n.a v10? Not a soul on the planet found mclarens too sound special. There not bad sounding, just boring compared to legendary n.a cars. Go play some more forza junior 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the same. I was like damn that sounds like a lambo or McLaren. Got a bit of a beefy note to it. Sounds purely insane!
Yeah everything’s was stolen from Ferrari 458
i LOVE that they had that red on LT3 full red interior one for people to test, thats how id spec one personally but i never thought id see a real life example since its too flashy for most people to go with. wish i went through the trouble of getting on a list after seeing these vids
Agreed. I had not seen this color combo yet.
Absolutely beautiful car. Nice review! The intro was amazing lol
Love your content man! Keep up the great work. 👍
DAMN...it sounds good . Love what there doing with the platform and as far as them being marked up hell we already knew that was gonna happen. I'd love to switch jobs with you lol 🤙
Between the intro, music and different camera angles I thought I was watching an I trio cinematic for the next Forza game. The from cam view with the HUD really sealed the deal. Great video TDIB.
@ThatDudeinBlue
Great video! Never seen anything from your channel before. Impressed. Subscribed.
Damnit!!!!!! I was at Pitt Race for the champcar event so bummed I missed these out on track. Wish I would've been able to see you and the car.
The new c8 z06 is awesome. Thanks for the review
If this thing is THIS wild, just imagine what the ZR1 is gonna be like. That thing is gonna be absolutely monstrous.
its going to be electric
You could be right. The price will probably be monstrous as well!
There won’t be a ZR1 get your head out of the toilet!!
@@Bbc418 Why won't there be a ZR1, there was a ZR1 for the C6 and C7 why won't there be one for the C8?
@@sprite1086 why would there be, needs to be a end sometime! Z06 is more then enough!!
BLUEE!!! I’m from Pittsburgh Pa, Haven’t missed one of your videos in 2 years absolutely love them bro & wouldn’t take anyone else’s advice/reviews on a car, You are the man & would absolutely love to get together & rip in my fbo Wrx or Fbo Focus ST, As always wonderful review on the new 23” z06 & z07, Would love to see you do the new 2022 2.4L Wrx.
Awesome intro man! Great music choice and cinematics.
And this is isn’t even the C8’s final form. We still have the ZR1 and the alleged Zora to go.
You are correct. We haven't reached the middle of the C8 lineup of cars.
I've also heard about an ERay version
True but I don't think those will be track focused like the Z06. The E-Ray will be too front heavy for tight corners, most likely even the most understeer prone of the lineup. As for the "Zora" it will be positioned as the straight line awd twin turbo monster. Faster than the Z06 on track? Possibly. As visceral as the Z06? No.
Also I don't think there will be a ZR1 of the C8. GM patented E-Ray and Zora two years ago, and Stingray and Z06 with the new fonts in 2018 and 2019.
I would consider the Zora as the ZR1 replacement, it would make sense after all seeing as ZR stands for Zora Racer.
I wanna see what Hennessey does with one.
I love that race track. I've been around it in a viper acr gtsr, GT40 Mark 1 and Mark 3 and an original Shelby gt350r. Pittsburgh international race complex has to be one of the most underrated tracks in the US. Their cart track is also a lot of fun.
It’s such a great track!! I agree, very underrated. The new back half it’s so fun
No doubt. I can't wait to get around it myself. I need to get another fun car. I'm thinking about picking up miata NA or NB. Not crazy fast or anything but fun enough in the corners out there in Western PA
Corvettes have been on my bucket list of dream cars for a while and I would love to have a c8
First time I saw one. It struck me that they basically took a 458 and made a few changes and slapped a bow tie badge on it.
I know I will never own one IRL, but I am all kinds of excited for what this means for future installments of Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon. Some of my best work has been done with the C2, C4 ZR-1, C5, and C7 across multiple events, and I foresee the C8 Z06 being a natural extension of that success.
I just bought a c8 htc. Hoping that in 2-3 years prices on the z06 will be some what normal and I can upgrade. The Z looks so amazing.
You are the smart one. I sold my C8 to make room for the ZO6. The jokes on me. My reservation number for the ZO6 won't come up until late next year.
@@ronretired282 Yeah, I knew even if I tried to get on a list that it would be at least a year anyway. My c6 is full blown race car now so I was looking for a fun date night car for me and the wife so decided to just get the stingray for now. hoping they'll produce the z06 faster than expected and you'll get yours quick and I can start looking at them sooner than later.
@@wasispeeding1021 good luck, everyone and their moms know that the Z06 will gain value the same way the C7ZR1 did. You shouldn’t have bought the stingray 🤷🏻♂️
Great review, David! I love that you’re wearing the American Flag 1320 hoodie while driving the American icon! ‘Merica! 🇺🇸
I’m happy with my 1991 300zx twin turbo! After all these years, it still turns Heads! Black on black😎
THE ENGINEERING THAT WENT INTO THAT ENGINE ARE REMARKABLE..THE FACT THAT ITS ABLE TO ESSENTIALLY CREATE "BOOST" BC OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ETC. IS NEXT LEVEL COOL.
Ferrari F12 entered the chat. 🙃
Excited to see the next step with them building off the c07 with a big ol blower and roof scoop and much wider stance needing to fit an even fatter tire to contain the 800-900 hp
Oh man the sound... that's just yes
The sound is doing my head in. It's glorious and nothing like a Corvette.
Phenomenal sound, almost like a Ferrari V8. The looks have grown on me a lot. Epic review
Its 1 million times better then the disgusting ferrari turbo v8s they sell now. This is what ferrari wishes they had and could still sound like.
@@Sideways_Singh LOl I guess you haven't heard Ferrari V12 that red lines at 9k they still currently produce. and keep in mind GM model this entire car from a Ferrari that's 12 years old.
@@ahmadflemming9041 🤣🤣 of course I know of the v12s but those arent rear-mid engine cars there front-mid engine GT cars. There heavier and not as track focused. What do u mean they modeled this car from a car thats 12 years old? Its a modern chassis, modern engine, all GM made. Ferrari wished they still had naturally aspirated v8s in there rear-mid engine cars
@@Sideways_Singh smh Ferrari just released the SP3 rear mid engine V12 what are you talking about all their V12s are front engine cars? Secondly did GM not say they purchased a Ferrari 458 and broke it down to its last bolt to understand its chassis and engine from a engineering stand point. GM is not setting the bar heat lol.
@@Sideways_Singh oh yeah almost forgot, the New Ferrari SP3 V12 red lines at 9500 rpm
I can’t wait to hear some exhausts on this thing
With the valves open it’s basically straight pipes from the short distance from the cats to exhaust tips. If you remove the cats, that’s another story.
That thing is so beautiful, I could see someone buying one, not to drive but for a metal sculptured piece of art.
Sheeesh, that engine sound gives me goosebumps, it sounds insane!
The last hurray of the combustion engine sure sounds good.
Not so fast. Ice isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Your music choice is always so perfect. So many Forza vibes.
What's the name of the sound
@@samgome01 it's "Industrial Strain" by Koven. The genre is drum and bass. Other dnb artists I recommend are Grafix and Dimension.
@@ItsBabaEro love you homie
I think the flatplane fits the c8 like a glove, both with its body lines and its mid-engine setup.
I think the 2023 C8 Z07 is going to sell like hotcakes. I saw Emelia Hartford's video first and was blown away by what she said about the Z07, now seeing this video I'm like double wow.
Oh, they will sell every one they make. Of course, you and I can't get one, but never mind that.
@@ToyKingWonder You and I can't get one yet, but 5-10 years is a different story. I can wait that long for a car this good.
As soon as I heard the exhaust on the C8 Z06 for the first time and saw the MSRP, I knew that it'd be my next car. That said, with the current chip shortage, insane dealer markups, and generally crazy used and new car market, I doubt that I'll be able to get one for even remotely close to MSRP for a very long time, but I refuse to pay these insane markups. The main selling point of the car is that it's an absolute bargain at MSRP for what you're getting, but when the dealers are trying to charge $90k over MSRP (if you can even find one), it defeats the point of the car.
My understanding is that they are having a harder time moving at least the C8s so who knows, you might be lucky
@@thehonesttruth8808 Not sure where you heard that, but a local dealer still has a waiting list 150 deep for the C8
Nice presentation..
Totally Pro..
Thanks!
Another great video! Chevy gang!
I can't wait for people to get their hands on just the engine, maybe drop it into the C4 ZR1 to put the newest DOHC V8 by GM to continue the legacy. It would also be cool to swap the twin turbo V8 out of the previous gen CT6-V into the old ZR1 too.
That black wing motor is so incredibly rare though
@@vexed_con Oh they totally are, which makes it just that much more interesting if you get one and figure out how to manage it.

Daaaaaaaaam David! Awesome intro!
Wow it sounds almost exactly like a 458, that’s so cool
They actually benchmarked it against the 458 Italia, same with the Shelby GT350 engine. I wouldn't call it "Ferrari's worst nightmare" when the car is based on something they made in 2009, but it is pretty good for an American sports car
@@SangheiliSpecOp Considering that 458’s especially the Speciale hold their value and Z06 being half the value it kinda is a nightmare. Granted dealer markups are gonna be what hurts the car.
@@MrWoods98 The people that want and can afford their Ferrari dream car, will buy the Ferrari. Regardless of how good this Z06 is. And it´s indeed VERY good. Ferrari is almost like a cult. And almost no one will cross shop them with money not being a problem. Corvette is best as a cost effective proposition, and that will be the main reason of buying one among the competitors. If markups are high, it will become a lot less appealing.
@@pokest225 I agree. Dealer markups and Ferrari’s brand recognition is what’s gonna hurt the Corvette.
@@MrWoods98 - I don't think it will hurt the Z06 - they likely won't be able to make enough to meet demand. I doubt we will see any of these sitting around on the lot waiting for a buyer.
I can't wait to see these modified. I'm curious to know how high it can rev past its factory limiter and if it would make more power. Also curious to see how the engine responds and holds up with boost. Twin turbo kits on these are probably going to make a nasty combo!
Hennessy probably already building one lol
Can't
I think forced induction won’t go far on these motors. It’s got high compression and that aint good for boost
@@vexed_con its 12.5:1...absolutely perfectly acceptable for boost
@@vexed_con modern motor, most likely has direct injection. Even without direct injection, it's nothing meth injection can't handle
Thanks for the video and I can't see myself buying anything but the C8 Z06 to replace my current Z06...
Such an awesome machine. Hood to one day be able to afford one.
Imagine the zr1 trim level with boost 😬😬😬🔥🔥🔥🔥
i dont think the zr1 will be boosted. i think it will be AWD with an electric front end. This will give them the MPG and emissions regulations they have to meet while also making a monster of a car.
The real question is what the ZR1 would have to be to top this
I see 1000 hp in the future...
Hybrid system like nsx

You can do this to any LS motor or LT slap a flat plane crankshaft kit in it and off to the races !
My whole life, the Lamborghini (diablo specifically, yeah, i'm that old) was my dream car. Then 12 years ago I became disabled so gave up that dream. Then, Chevrolet came out with the mid engine Corvette, and IT became my dream car. So much better than ANY Lambo ever. Everything i seen about them just fits ME. Still beyond anything I could afford at the moment, but atleast I can dream again. I'll get a base model used some day atleast. I don't race, or even speed so that would be just fine :)
Sorry about the disability Rob. Lamborghini and Ferrari are two of my favorite car brands. I can only afford used and that is ok by me. The C8 ZO6 will be purchased late next year to take the place of our C8 Stingray. And yes. I haven't used the full capabilities associated with the Stingray (7/10). So why a ZO6. Simple answer: I just want it! Rob, if you get lucky pick-up the C7 Grand Sport. That thing rocks on the track and street.
@@ronretired282 Thanks brother. I thought about getting a 70's or early 80's stingray and restoring it. But checked out the C7 you listed and think it's beautiful. But I still think Mid-engine is the sexiest.

Great job David you nailed this review. I watched almost all today. Yours was my favourite by far. Still, I’d rather own a Viper. Though I highly doubt we’ll ever see a gen 6
It's so weird to see a track on your channel that is less than 30 minutes away from me. Even more weird to see landmarks that I have seen in person on your video. Pittsburgh represent!!
@5:41 good to see that this thing spits flames naturally stock
Those orange things were cones.
To this day the only stock cars I know that spit flames are the original Aventador and Murcialago SV (see Top Gear reviews of both cars to find flames)
Can’t wait till i can get my hands on one.amazing machine!
Hey that looks Like Pittrace, such a fun track to drive when they do track days!
That's a badass ride 😎
That car is so sick!! Nice job GM
never driven any corvette but I see them all the time including the C8 so fingers crossed I'll at least get to listen to the engine sound of a Z06/Z07
That engine note is so delicious.
Love the information and the enthusiasm. With my dealer’s market adjustment I had pretty much “settled” for the 3LZ Z06 HTC without the Z07 package. But after watching your video as well as a few others, I really feel like I’d be missing something significant without the Z07. Caught in a quandary. In reality, I won’t be tracking the car that much. Currently have a 2021 C8 and am 10th on my dealer’s list for Z06 so could be quite a wait. Just feel if I make the jump to the Z06 from the C8 and don’t get the Z07 package, I really didn’t make the full jump. Just wish the market adjustment would disappear. I know i contribute to the problem by agreeing to purchase a car with the racket adjustment.
Of course. you contribute to it...but I can't blame you, that's the market as it is right now. My only complaint is that it is not a free market. You bought what you wanted.
What I do find appalling is that I can go the the Corvette website, build the car that I want at a $65k price, and then find out that such a car is not available. Period. Car companies hide behind the "we can't tell dealers what to sell cars for", and they are right. But GM is telling me that such a car is available. If they wanted to be fair, their would be no pricing on the websites, just in big letters to see your dealer for price and availability.
It may not be illegal, but it is extremely unethical to tell me such cars are available at a price, and they simply are not. I would be ok that this went on for a new model and was temporary, but come on, it's been years.
That intro was 🔥!!!!!
As much as I would like one of these, I can't get one. I'd STAY in trouble with this BEAST!
I heard there were many hurdles against corporate to make this happen. I’m happy for the gm engineers this is a celebration for them!
It' truly ironic! The other day, a car was pulling-out of the gas station in front of me at the light, and when I looked at it, I thought it was an older 'Vette at first glance, until I saw the Ferrari emblem on the back as it pulled in front of me. I just laughed to myself. Shortly thereafter, I saw a white 'vette and thought it was new Ferrari. Laughed to myself once again when I noticed the badging.
Corvette has truly arrived and is seriously bada$$. I'm not a 'vette fan, nor am I a super-/hyper-car guy at ALL, but I'm damn sure going to give the Corvette two HUGE thumbs up for their overall design transformation(s) over the past several years. Pretty dang cool, in my opinion!
Best vette chevy/gm made was 89 zr1 with the lt5. Quad cammed, lotus designed and mariner company built thing is beast and was beating almost all cars on the road. I think that was our "first" supercar
@ThatDudeinBlue I see you nailed the @1320video merch plug lol
That intro was so good.
Can’t argue with the performance, sound, looks etc
But - no option of a manual. Takes away a key part of enthusiast fun
Good Lord, it is stunning and powerful to see and hear!
I bought my C8 Z06 last week and I RARELY put the pedal to the floor. That's how f#@king scary the car is. I can sum up the Z06 in one word. Violent.
Love the flat crank sounds
Two things that make me nervous:
1) First generation
2) New engine design
An absolute dream! I hope to be able to afford one one day
Ohh that's an amazing car. Love that exhaust note.
My favorite still tho is a 2012 zr1 and I like the interior. I love the gauges in zr1. My opinion but it’s my dream car I’ll never get 😀
Go Pedder here too!!! ✌🏽🔥
