Thank you for doing this video on my C8 Z06! I had a fun time there with the group! 🎉🎉
I immensely enjoyed your commentary on the lap. I wish you the very best with your racing team!
@@videomakville thank you!
Thank you for allowing AutoTrader and Rory to use your car for the video. You were phenomenal in talking us through Willow Springs, and your driving of course.
I’m a fan!
Brother, you are so impressive. Amazing.
God bless you. All the best of successes to you, your family, and your loved ones.
That was a KICK-AZS video! Especially since I'm familiar with that track! It's an easy track to learn, but hard to get perfect! Turn 8 always tests my nerve! (I go in at 135, but go out much slower! )
Ok we need part two of Rory and the Pro driver 😂😂…Talking us through the drive was something else.
Haha glad you loved it! ❤
@@jesse_iwuji You're an impressive guy. Keep up the good work.
@@romulus_ thank you sir!
@@jesse_iwuji hey Jesse, great job. Curious why you didn't go for the Z07 package?
Racing drivers are something else! How is Jesse Iwuji driving so fast and giving such a detailed breakdown in real time!!
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Because he’s not going that fast. If he was he would need a helmet.
Did you not watch the video? Lol
@@davidwilliams8728 go back to bed Davido
@@davidwilliams8728 There's always one of you
After listening to that pro driver talk us through the lap, I’m pretty sure I could set a record lap at Willow Springs.
😂😂 I hope you do!
@@jesse_iwuji The man himself!
Lololol was just thinking this is the best race commentary I've ever heard!
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 Love that statement
I will try with Gran Turismo 7 until I get my ZO6. If you see this Jesse you have another fan
Jesse Iwuji talking through that lap was so bloody fun to watch.
Haha thank you! I wanted to keep it entertaining
@@jesse_iwuji and you did. That was amazing! Thank you so much.
The way Jessie is able to partition his focus like that to drive, teach and be relatable - all at speed, is sorcery. Love it!
Thank you 🙌🏾
It reminds me of when the Blue Angels take reporters or civilians up for demonstration flights and they are having calm conversations while tossing the jet around and the person in the backseat is either passed out from Gs or puking. lol Training... training.. training... and then working out.. working out... working out.
After watching Jessie convey such a comprehensive around-the-track commentary; while pushing the ZO6 near its performance limits. I think I can speculate this chap has a chance in the announcer's booth when he's done racing...
Haha who knows!?
Jesse! Been watching you do the rounds on RUclips… thanks for allowing your car to be used to make awesome content… im a huge fan of you now man!
Rory, please never stop hosting these videos!
It was a good time!
Big fan of Jesse, salute you for your service as well
I agree
Rory is the best presenter since Jeremy Clarkson
Honestly, I think Jesse's track lap talk through is the most exciting one I've ever listened to!
Thank you good sir!
Fantastic presentation Rory. You and Jessie make a great team and are an inspiration to many. Love this car !
We should do more vids together 👏🏾
Jesse is awesome… he should be the Auto Trader Stig
😂😂 that would be epic 🙏🏾
Great Idea
Black Stig
Jesse, you are the coolest and most humble guy out there that owns a Z06 💪🏼
Thank you 🙏🏾
Hopefully this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. And a partnership at least as good on this channel, too. Excellent job, gentlemen 👌👋
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes! Not only is the car stellar but so is the Host. Way to go Rory.
He could’ve been the host himself 😂 really enjoyed listening to him
Thank you for bringing in the racing driver who, very well, talked about the difference between this and the previous generations of the Corvettes!
What a masterpiece of a car!
Thank you so much
FYI, the Z06 has been top tier in performance since the C5 Z06. All the lightweighting, suspension/chassis, gearing, and power effort on the C5 Z06 Corvette was worth it in the end as it had one of the fastest Nürburgring times and lap times of any production car at the time. "When the C5 Corvette Z06 clocked its 7:56 Ring time (remember this was 20+ years ago), it was a pretty big deal. GM claimed it was the first true stock/production car to break past the eight-minute mark."
They even went so far as to put titanium exhaust on the car from the factory; the first true production car to do so, thinned the window glass, removed sound deadening, lighter weight Speedline wheels from Italy, stiffer and lighter body compared to the base C5 hatchback, stiffer suspension, etc. etc.
Oh, and this was also during the era of the C5-R dominating GT racing, including multiple 24 Hours of Le Mans wins.
Well noted sir. Racing Vettes so dominated its' class in GT racing that they eliminated the class!
Also, checking "Vette" hot lap times at Laguna Seca in the hands of Randy Pobst, over the years, shows that euro "supercars" had nothing on the previous front-engined Vettes!
I've been really thinking about getting a C5 Z06. I got a little kid's electric motorized Corvette C5-R for my 6th birthday in 2005, so getting a C5 Z06 would be getting my childhood racecar back. It's extremely great to know it's the 1st production car to go sub-8 minutes at Nurburgring. If I get it back, it'll be like having a street-legal C5-R with all that racing history and of course the high performance.
I daily drive a C5 Z06 and it’s probably the most performance for the money right now in the world. $20K to $25K will get you one.
@@craigthescott5074 You daily drive something that has the performance of a Ferrari 360.
@@elijahprasad7884 actually my C5 Z06 has a built 402 cubic inch LS2 with 600 HP so it’s much more HP than stock but yes I daily drive it and it gets 20 mpg in the city.
That pro driver just challenged my whole Cars and Coffee senior leadership 😂
Love to see it
😂😂😂😂 bring it on!
One thing you have to remember with Corvette.. despite what its gained going mid engine, its previous front engine layout in racing form had dominated various GT endurance racing series for decades.
People should stop saying c8 zo6 has a "FERRARI" engine. That type of flat plane crank v8 is not ferrari's patent.
Now that's a daring challenge.
Bring any car under 300k to track and see what happens.
This man surely knows his game.
7:29 "GRIPS AND RIPS" 🔥
Yeaaaa!!!
This guy would make such an amazing commentaor!!!!
🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@jesse_iwuji Great video, great ride, and I love the wheels!
Do you have any opinion on the upcoming E-Ray? I'm on a waiting list for one - my main use will be road trips with an occasional track outing. I think I want the ZER package to get the Pilot Sport 4 S ZP tires, and CF wheels to compensate for battery weight.
Finally, I was at the annual "Bash" at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green last month, a fun and educational long weekend. All the Corvette brass attend - Tadge, Harlan, Josh, etc.. It would be great to see you there next year!
Would you pick the Z06 over a Ferrari?
Yes 😊
Who pick ls a fake Ferrari over a Real Ferrari
And the worst thing is that it's not even a Corvette
Never
For the kind of performance, especially in Z07 guise, and amenities I would get in the Vette over a significantly more expensive Ferrari? Yes sir! It would have to be a 458 Speciale or 488 Pista to make me feel otherwise in terms of comparable mid engine cars.
Ferrari all the way
Perfect commentary from Jesse
Thank you 🙏🏾🎉
This Z06 is one of the best cars of our era, when Ferraris are turbo charged, the Corvette has one of the sweetest engines out there, to me this is up there with the GT3 ❤️
I agree!
It's quicker around some tracks than the GT3 RS. Both are great
8:41 yo, my man’s brain functions at a crazy high level to be able to call these moves out with this level of detail, while driving like a maniac. Goddamn.
If Jessie is saying so much about the Z06, I totally go with his words.
Thank you sir 🎉
LoL ... 15K views in 3 hours only!!!!
Man ..... That's what the heck is going on. 😂😂😂🤣🤣😅
Oh yeah, been waiting for Rory to get his hands on a Z06! And it’s Jesse’s? This is gonna be good!
👌🏾👌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Those ForgedLite MC5 wheels look amazing on the z06.
Amen!
That is no Ferrari engine! That's American muscle! Chevy did that, not Ferrari! I know you don't mean it literally, but give Chevy their credit! 💪💪
AMURICA
@hagerty did a really amazing video on the some track with a professional racing driver and the Porsche GT 3 RS beat the Z06
corvette corvette
❤ Toyota Corolla GR ❤️
Would love to see that Z06 engine in a Camaro. America's 250 GTO.
I was there I am a paid actor I was the wheels on the Z06 and I can confirm what he is saying is true 😂
😂😂😂
That, was a cool video Mr Reid! When that prodriver retires, he's going to wnd up calling races somewhere!
Hahaha thank you
Dammit Rory, seeing as the fans love you a possible meet up for the faithful when you're on our side of the pond would be amazing!
It's ZED Oh six. Not Zee. Come onnnn man, you're British :)
But he's America...lol zeee
Wow what a lap this guy Jessie is awesome chatting through the lap like that well done
I love the orange and the black trim. Quite a car!
It's amazing to see how far Chevy has come with their engineering.
Just wait when Hennessey get there hands on make there performance pack for it 😅
Jesse Iwuji needs to be a regular on this channel as the channel's track test driver.
I wouldn't mind that at all 😄
His commentary through the lap actually raised my heartrate I felt like I was in the car with you guys haha!!
Thank you! Everyone has been loving that
Absolutely Awesome!!!! I remember my first ride in C4 and I thought that was nuts, then I drove a C6 and I was amazed. This thing is amazing!
Yea the first time I drove a car with a V8 was the C7, and I fell in love with vettes. (coming from a 5.0 fanatic)
Bro could be a commentator for his own race
😂😂
Never been a corvette fan but the c8's are doing it for me. Very impressed!
You should test one!
@Jesse Iwuji definitely plan on it. And if I like it I'm seriously gonna buy one! Huge fan btw! You're an amazing driver!
@@jesse_iwuji I was able to get to check out the E-Ray and damn if I don't love that thing, my favorite of all the C8s. That's the one I will probably buy.
@@venom5809 c8 ZR1 next for me!
@@jesse_iwuji My friend could neither confirm or deny to me the existence of the Zora so I assume it's a yes. I just love the E-Ray though.
'Incredible grip'?
'10" wide front tyres'?
Yeah, not surprised. The Europeans do it better with far less tyre requirements
Did you say Zee?😂
Even a 300k 2023 gt3 Porsche is only a couple 10ths faster around willow...thats incredible value.
Nascar & high level racing in the same breath😅
Yes sir
Ive never heard the red tailed hawk cry used like this before, lol. Loud as hell and the first audio element. Should be an award for it
Epic Rory! I'll start saving now...
Okay… that Tee is killer… where on Earth did you get that Epic UCB Cali tee… please, please, puh-leeze… tell, share….
Some tourist screen printers in LA did it. Just added the "i" to Cal. You can get em in any color you want on Venice Beach and Chinatown.
Somebody give this man a show!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 The adventures of Rory & Jesse 😅
I love how he mentioned in the beginning that the C8 Z06 is a car that you can get at a 1/3 the price as it's rivals. Good luck at even getting a used stingray C8 for less than $90K when Chevrolet announced they were going to be available for under $60K brand new! Absolutely, FUK the whole car industry!!!
I think Jesse could have another career as a car reviewer. That was fun.
Perhaps one day!
Get these two guys together again for another car video…ANY car video!!!!
I have a few cars to choose from! 🎉🎉
C6 Z06 is the Best Looking and Sounding Corvette Ever Made
That racing driver is an amazing guy. Giving us a breakdown of the whole lap while he's driving. Formula 1 should hire him both as a racing driver as well as commentator. He got the talent for both
Thank you sir 🎉
I like the enthusiasm in your comment but F1 is an entirely different planet. This brother, although very talented, is driving well within his own limits in his Vette.
this thing is just amazing. over a Ferrari? anytime
Rory and Jesse are a terrific pairing. Way to go Autotrader UK
It's actually AutoTrader UK, but yeah, a good duo.
Thank you! Autotrader made it happen!
@@tomamberg5361 thank you for the clarification
😑 Chevy did what now .. British people always find a way to hate on American made cars
THE BEST 👨🏻❤️👍🏼‼️
It really has that oldschool "Ferrari sound" , hell it sounds more like an oldschool Ferrari then actual, modern Ferrari models.
Amazing guys, great work!!
👏🏾👏🏾
That was a fun video to watch. B ring any car uner 300K to race against the Z06, sounds like a challenge Car and Driver should follow up on.
Or Autotrader UK😮
OMG this has to be the best review ever. Many journalists have reviewed the C8 Z06 but none have captured the excitement, the exhilaration, and the sheer joy of this magnificent car the way Rory and Jesse have in this video. Well done ,guys. I’ve got a regular C8 which I absolutely love and I thought the Z06 unnecessary (and bloody hard to get at the moment) but after this video, I may need to rethink that position.
Not a Ferrari engine, Chevy did benchmark the 458 engine and made something better ,
prefer this wing
So a 992 GT3 RS is going about $175,000-$320,000 USD over sticker in the USA market and Porsche corporate is totally on-board with the price gouging = $600,000 USD price point. The new C8 Z06 is such a better buy!!!
This engine is more Ferrari than a Ferrari engine 🔥
As a Ferrari owner, I would agree for the price. Had put money down for the Z06 but postponed. Waiting for the 3rd year run on it to squeeze out first run problems. Hopefully they’ll still have Z06’s in 2025.
Great video. Great car! A masterpiece of American ingenuity. ..I would love to own and drive one of these as a daily driver, as I'm not a race driver, even though I'm a Mustang owner and fan.
That lap breakdown was impressive 👌🏾
Thank you 🎉
Never knew Orange w/ Gold wheels would look so good.
They are incredible, thank you
I’d have this over any Ferrari tbh it’s just so good
Props to Jesse cuz he wasn't funding his dream and passion no way would a person of colour be allowed in NASCAR
🙏🏾🙏🏾
What a beautiful car. Especially in that orange.
Well done Chevrolet!
Dammit, now i want one.
This just made me realise how tough racing and setting laps really is compared to driving. Bless the pros and protect them every millisecond that anything could go wrong.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@jesse_iwuji always remember what Uncle Ben said "with great horsepower comes great responsibility"🤣🙏🙏🙏
The 458 speciale from Kentucky.
Amazing production work! Thank you for bringing Jesse in this video. I would love to see him race a few more cars in the future. Super entertaining to watch you two. I had to replay this video a couple of times, it was pretty epic.
Awesome car, is it better than a Ferrari NO, is it a bargain YES. Is it better than a Porsche absolutely not, it just has more hp.
Pls get this gentleman more involved guys :)
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
Love the wheels on it
Jesses a cool vette owner and good to see his Z06 in this review. An excellent auto trader review. Thank you. I especially enjoyed the track portion of the video as Jesse shared his insights as well as the auto trader review on the track too.
Great video !
Thank you!
Thanks once again. Great content, amazing drivers.
that was a freaking great video the way he was describing the turns and the throttling up at the end was so cool
Incredible content, as always and wonder, amazing narration on-board…. Love this….
Thank you 🙌🏾
An example of an automotive company giving the people what they WANT. Chevrolet could have easily created a 700-750+ horsepower car that was faster... But they made a car that would go down in the books not just a pure numbers car. This car is for the people. The Rocky of modern cars.
I like it but I also used to like the front-engine classic Corvette.
I would have loved if they could produce them both... 😇🤩
Older vetted had the pushrod V8 crosspplane engines
@@yusufgta4341 I know. They could have change or modernize it. I'm missing the classic Corvette shape. 🚙
Chevy continues to outdo themselves with the C8, especially now with the Z06 and probably the ERay. Excited for what they'll do with the ZR1/Zora.
🧡🧡🧡
I like to see race car drivers, and most importantly black men who like me doing great things.
🎉🎉🎉
I love the look of Jesse's car and how he explains it. If I could afford one I would get one now.
Under 300k vs Z06 should be a new series
I agree!
Great treat for having the driver help on the video
Great insight on a real driver
Thank you sir 🎉
(To Jesse’ last comment) : GT3RS enters chat
😮😮
Thanks for the content. Jesse is a stand up guy too!
Thank you 🎉🎉
Rory in the States!
