- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- You can see my review of the new Corvette Z06 over on /DRIVE, but what if you don't need all that? What if you want a regular Corvette, but with 100 extra horsepower and 100 extra lb/ft of torque at the wheels? Magnuson has the kit for you.

who are the 105 idiots who give a thumbs down to a person who makes a video of canyon carving a blown c7 corvette? why did they even click on this video
I thought the video was highly erotic, but what do I know? ;)
Renaldo Nelson why do you care? Who are you to decide what people vote on videos?
NoOneImportant556 Agree that everyone is entitled to their opinions but it just seems like if you clicked on a video like this, you know what you are getting into. To click it and then not like it just seems weird...because why are they searching or clicking on Corvette vids in the first place ?
Renaldo Nelson I didn't like it because it was clearly more of a paid commercial than a real raw one take. I didn't rate it but that's one reason people probably didn't like it.
NoOneImportant556 Yeah I kind of get what you are sayin' ....
All people do is bitch about the transmission in the comments, huh? Haven't driven one but somehow know that it sucks. Only YT...
I've noticed that many people will go to great lengths to convince themselves that a car superior to theirs isn't actually as good. Just plain insecurity.
NikoBell12 You don't need to drive that car to know that the gearbox is shit. There's a good delay between clicking the paddle and the car actually shifting. Matt even says the gearbox isn't as good in the video.
Hear That? He says it isn't as good as the PDK. He never said it was bad. In fact, he said it was quite good. There's nothing wrong with this transmission; Porsche is just on another level.
Hear That? Your comment shows that you are a clown. Good job idiot
Driven an Automatic C7. I will never do it again.
never really paid much attention to paddle shifter noise in a vid before, damn they sound sooo cheesy and cheap...
KiwiXT id say when he shut the door it sounded cheap lol
KiwiXT They look cheap as well
Seriously! The click noise was so annoying!
KiwiXT
They ARE cheap
KiwiXT Wouldn't notice it driving though. You would hate mechanical keyboards!
paddle shifters works realy bad, ~1.5 sec and only then car changes gear? wtf
Alberts Roze It shifts slower when not on WOT. When its under load and WOT it shifts fast.
But regardless...autos and sports cars. ugh.
That's called American innovation...lol.
2011LS3SS
He means the time it takes to shift after pressing the paddle. There is delay.
JECZ Said delay is nowhere close to 1.5 seconds at WOT.
It's instant at high throttle. it has to modulate and make lower speed shifts smoother or it makes for an awful jerky ride. But nah people just bitch anyways.
14 was actually a 6spd auto in a C7 that must be a 15.
cbzo6 yes i misspoke it was a 15
TheSmokingTire Matt would you ever buy a selfie stick?????? LOL if you would
Agent Orange I have the urge to rip people's selfie sticks out of their hand.
TheSmokingTire Hahahahahaha I have the same urges, just thought it'd be interesting to find out if you had any inclination to buy one.
Agent Orange Selfie sticks aren't useless. It's how people use them. The extendable handle is a bluetooth remote. You can set up your phone in a room and descretely (from your pocket) activate recording. And the part that holds the phone, allows you to mount the phone onto a tripod. Which is incredibly useful for taking sharp pictures. Plus you can use your phone as a mounted camera.
literally the craziest smoking tires keep coming on my feed im so thankful
GM never said this transmission was as good as the PDK, they said that it upshifted as fast as the PDK, when in auto mode.
@@6.2litersofnoise41 behold...the c8. good call!
oh god that sound the paddle shifters make is disgusting
sounds like knuckles cracking
Matt, next time your in Dubai, I'm treating you to a middle-tier steak.
You best agree.
TheSmokingTire Awesome content you've been uploading brother!
Keep up the good work!
Cheers from Ontario Canada!
P.s. Are we going to get a Fox Body update anytime soon!?
Why would you buy a brand new C7, spend the money to supercharge it, lose your warranty, and only make 505whp? I do recall that's what the C6 Z06 makes which is much cheaper and you can find them with warranty. Just saying.
Aidan red
I agree completely, its a light car with a giant V8 I don't think lack of power is a problem. I would rather have the stock reliability and grunty sound.
Jeff K wait which has lack of power?
Richard Harrow oh right
Aidan red C6Z's usually make ~450 RWHP and ~430 RWTQ stock. This car made 505 RWHP, and probably makes a ton more torque under the curve. Keep in mind this C7 blower is a low-boost (likely warrantied and smog legal) setup with room to grow. A pulley swap and some custom tuning can be worth quite a bit of power. Besides the flat torque curve, that's one of the best features of a supercharger kit like this.
sounds insane when it gets up in the revs. I love the sound of vettes. But the auto, not so much.
except the auto transmission is faster than the manual sooo...
@@elitewarrior0076 id rather the engagement and enjoyment of a manual over being half a second faster.
@@DorDor400 true but you cant tell me that you wouldnt have fun with a 600hp C7 just because its an auto. Manual or auto, thats gonna be a fun ass car to drive.
@@elitewarrior0076 well yes not denying that haha.
it shifts kinda slow. . . might aswell get the manual then.
Behemothokun It shifts fast.It just responds slower to the paddle inputs.
Экспертное Подразделение Диванных Войск! That could be just because the two videos are not synced properly.
NZXcel I don't think Matt records multiple audio tracks though; you can hear the click and then 0.5-1 second later hear the actual gear change. So I think it's actually this slow to react for whatever reason. Clearly not comparable to the PDK, as GM would have liked.
Behemothokun Good point. We get enough lag playing online games here, don't need that shit in our car.
Behemothokun get a manual... i dont car how fast an auto shifts... either manual or dual clutch for me... torque converters suck
That clicking noise the paddles makes is making me irritated, LOL
Personally I would only get a Manual sports car for the driving experience. But each to their own. Then again I can't say anything because I can't afford one of these...yet.
Matt you haven't done a C7 in a year...why don't you get a fairly light modified manual C7 with a procharger installed and go have some fun.
im about to get a c7 and the automatic sounds good to me, since my rx8 is manual and its a pain in the ass when you get stuck on traffic, auto is a lot more relaxing so you can enjoy, and if you want high rpm you just play manual with those paddle shifters. i think i will get the auto for sure. thank you for showing the car so now i have a much better idea
you can quickly full throttle and let off and it will put u in "performance shift mode" and it rips ass just like the paddle shifters. try it out
really? that's sounds awesome, thanx to letting me know one more good thing to do, soon as I get rid of my rx8 im getting the c7
robson risso
yeh personally i never use the paddle shifters its dumb to think u could manually shift the transmission better than the computer is programed to do. My bro has same exact car he uses shifters always I dont, i always start pulling ahead on shifts
yrs I thing the same way, but sometimes I like to drive in high revs and I dont like the computer shifting at 4k rpm or i like to down shift to hear a nice sound. after a while you might get tired of it and just wanna drive and relax and step on throttle when you want to feel the car is fast lol
I would get the 7 speed manual instead of the 8 speed I don't see the joy driving a automatic Corvette
Engine makes 600 (?) and wheels 505 thats a loss of almost 20% from engine to the wheels, that seems like alot to me.
Error Creator and the supercharger it self just produce 100 more HP ?!
510 hp and 505 torque
Error Creator Parasitic charger draw, drivetrain loss esp it's a heaver auto with torque converter. And overall inefficient cooling. Should've at least made more than 170hp considering high compression on 6 psi. Goes to show GM V8s still hasn't evolve as far as it should
Billy Bevan Sorry to break it to you buddy, but I build and and tune cars as a job. Unfortunately it does. I also graduated with a Mechanical Engineering Degree. Anything that is crank driven draws from the engine itself that's why turbocharging is more efficient at making power and torque.
danturbo316 high capacity TT V8s don't have noticeable lag if you size up turbo properly or you can use an antilag setup or dual quick spool valves. I run a 9 sec TT Ls3 300zx with a dry nos to spool 2 gt35rs. No lag whatsoever. Dynos at 1400hp just shy off 22pounds of boost.
does anybody recugnize this car from gta v?
damnit not again
does anybody have those moments where you just forget to spell a certain word?
Thanks for doing this vid. It adds value to a crowded marketplace. I'm considering a Magnuson for my 2016 C7 Z51 Stingray. Mid range power production is what I'm looking for, and street use is my primary objective. I'd like to to see some street driving with the Magnuson as well. In any case, this video was beneficial for me. Thanks.
now there is a new 10 speed auto that should change things. Helps the new camaros alot
I'm a big fan of the CA-33. I hope it stays desolate. DANGER!!! Everyone stay away.
Lingenfelter's N/A upgrade promises 630 HP and 530 lb-ft for 12 Grand. Although you won't get as much torque or the wide torque band of the Magnuson's supercharger, I still prefer the naturally aspirated version. Plus you won't gain as much weight as putting a supercharger since most of the engine parts are replaced with lighter, stronger alternatives.
Still feel that way?
the paddles sound like a snapple cap...
Stick with the stick
That sound of the new LT engines is amazing...
Escape for Mankind What's your point..
"Let's see" Followed by best sound ever produced by man made thing.
I might be late or whatever, but what camera do you use at the beginning of the videos? Is it a gopro?? If so, which one??
***** GoPro Hero 4 Silver
Route 33 is a beautiful road--the best kept secret in SoCal! I remember stopping for a break where you started your video (I was blasting my 135i on the road that day)
Not much of a secret anymore after this and the comment section. Lol
Matt, didn't MY14 have the 6 speed auto, and wasn't the 8L90 was introduced for MY15?
Don't flick the paddles please, it sounds much better when you don't flick it like that. And works just as well. Besides that, great video!
Bone stock except supercharger....... dont mess with the english language like that
Which sound is worse... door shut noise or shift paddle clicking? Tough one.
Menuda preciosidad de coche, da igual que tenga un kit de prestaciones, que tenga 100 CV más pero lo que nadie duda es de su esencia y conducción magnificas :)
What a delay on those shifts. Dual clutch time Chevy
What a great road! I'm not really a Chevy guy but I can't not like the C7.
The Batman I agree Corvettes seem to always be the exception for non GM guys (coming from a diehard ford guy) I would rock a C7 if I could get the wife to believe it was an economy car and let me buy one.
That wind noise is unreal. Had to skip the first couple minutes.
I'm pretty sure the stock C7 is plenty fast.
I shut the video off when I heard the blower cost $8000
***** That's the average price for most superchargers out there.
***** That price sounds about right. What? Did you think it cost the same as a cam kit?
+jarjarlol Hahahahaaa, try getting a stage 2+ kit for a luxury import (I use my S5 as my prime example). 8k, in relativity to the price of the car, really isn't bad.
It’s 7000 but 2k to install it
i dont get why people are buying this mag superchargers when a properly tuned cam can give you the same HP at less than half the cost of the mag
85 digree ! That cold !
I cam back from work to find it 112 ,thats 46 digree centgrated in the sun , wich is much hutter ! Walking!in iraq ! , ask Old solders abot our sun !
Heheheheheheheheheh
I really like the idea of a sleeper stock c7 that would beat on z06's for only 8k more than base price, this is a steal
fucking awesome road
That clicking plastic paddle shift would drive me crazy!
Dont accelerate on the Wheeler Gorge straight though. Camp site right there so you want to be careful. I always drop the clutch there and coast.
Holy Snapple caps I would rather have the manual if the paddle shifters sound like that lol
Finnegen and Fryburger need to look in their rear view. ONE TAKES ARE THE SHIT! You are a true gentleman..... YOU need a raise! I appreciate your take and honesty on what you drive. You're WELL on your way to being one of the best canyon riders of all time. You're the shit right now...... Keep up the great work! Ps fnf might see this, so be on your p's and q's..... and SMASH! God bless, be safe👍
Mixed feelings about the transmission. Gear changes themselves are pretty quick, which is pretty good for a torque converter auto, but the time it takes from when you hit the paddle to when the actual shift happens is painfully long.
Shawn Carson is that the same with the 2014 transmission
Car and Driver had two C7s blow-up on them, including their long-termer at 7500 miles. Oil filter issues? LMAO....Same old story, no GM pushrod has ever been remotely reliable in reality.
Awesome! BTW, you couldn't get the 8-speed in 2014. That car MUST be a 2015.
Was wondering if I can make it past 100K miles with this upgrade? Really want to do it but not sure about longevity.
How does he still have a drivers licence or not in jail? He is obviously on open public roads trashing cars at 100mph+ every week. I'm all for having a fun time on the twisty roads but there are 441,375 subscribers. None of them are cops?
RUNnGUN556 cops come up to me in the canyons all the time. The last one said "hey, when are you going to do a stock Camaro SS? I'm thinking about buying one."
I'm not saying you don't get away with it and I enjoy your videos greatly. I'm just saying I'm surprised that you do.
Nice camara upgrade Matt 60fps looks really good keep the vids coming they're great
Couple of notes:
1) this car sounds fan-fucking-tastic. Probably the best Corvette I've heard, and that includes that race-cammed LS7 that you reviewed earlier. And that's saying something.
2) that aside, this kit seems completely unnecessary. You don't need 600hp for the street basically ever (at least not unless it's in a great pig of a car like the Hellcats), so if it's not practical at the track because heating issues, then just... leave it stock. 460hp should be plenty.
I mean unless you're going drag racing of course. I'm not a fan because it's basically a horsepower pissing contest about little else other than ridiculous numbers, but if you're into that you do need huge hp. But that's the only real application I can think of for this kit.
Shift speed at full or near full throttle seems very quick, but the actual response of the gearbox from when the paddle is clicked to the cogs actually swapping seems slow by PDK standards. But definitely an improvement on the 6 speed nonetheless.
anotherone10 its slow cuz the padel goes to the EC first.
the trans isnt shifting slow.
acually beats the DCT on upshifts.
sage sokol DCT do to the trans first.
This 8 speed shifts fastee, but the paddels need work yes
"it's a very hot day today. It's 85 degrees" seriously? come to Texas.
Former C7 owner here. I hated it and sold it.
Wait - if it's a 2014 it has a 6-speed auto, not the new 8-speed. The 8-speed didn't become available until the 2015 model year.
I have a Maggied C5 FRC running on 8lbs with a bunch of other goodies and nothing beats a loud V8 with that blower whine!!!
85 degrees is a very hot day!? Lol, it's pushin a 100 degrees in south Texas and it's not even August yet haha.
That C7 sounds amazing in those higher rpms. Great review as always Matt!
Matt you said this is a 14. The 14 came with the 6sp auto not the new 8 sp. Is it a 14 or 15?
Andy C7/SRT I fucked up there. It's a 2015 with the 8-speed.
TheSmokingTire Matt, have you tested the C7 8 speed with the Edelbrock supercharger? If so, how does it compare to this one?
supercharger whine is a horrible thing.
saratov99 I'd rather listen to a supercharger whine than someone whining about supercharger whine.
I like the part where Matt says it's a very hot day, 85 degrees while us NorCal people are fending off 100+ degree weather. No worries Matt, just pulling your chain! Hehe!
Please no more videos on highway 33. People may start going there more and creating traffic.
Alvaro Giron Yes, It's good and bad. It's nice to show people such a beautiful road; however, I don't want people clogging 33 whenever I drive it. I don't want it becoming the West Coast version of the Tail of the Dragon (great road that was ruined by hype and traffic).
Alvaro Giron That road is like an hour from anything resembling civilization. I wouldn't worry about it.
That was one cool intro! It was like in your face but surprisingly cool lol
Just get a stick.
Loving the 60fps vid Matt, super smooth!
So glad I live in Germany! ;)
Thats firs , second , there is an engineer called armand who bought the first corvett c7 in iraq , bagdad , with pro pack from east costumes , with z41 package supercharger masking +600 bhp
Are yiu brave enough to come and see it
thx for that nice vid.
i drove the stock C7 and i can clearly hear in your vid a very nice little supercharger whine .....love it !
And i noticed the 8speed shifts very quick when using track mode and manual shifting mode together.
the shift is very very fast, the problem (usually) is the paddle imput. Trasmission in this car is ok, shift software no.
+TheRaceWriter it depends in which mode you are driving ! In track mode it "calculates" faster or perhaps it shortens the tolerances for shifting for the price of some roughness or more coupling wearing or something.
But still than the downshifts have more lag than upshifts.
I hate that so many is finding things to complain about the Corvette C7.
Its not an really ''expansive'' car, and you actually get really much for the money!
And the people that is complaining cant probably even buy this car.
niklas981000 If it was a 370Z, I'd complain about the same things.
MrNicholg the 370z is slower at the track and drag strip and gets similar MPG lol
SANIC Dude ...you really think he is comparing them?
Nice job with the sound at the beginning of the video. Very umm..."ambient." Lol.
I would liked to have known your speed .
Would it void the warranty?
Thats my road! Feel free to use it whenever. ;)
Ahhh that stupid annoying click sound on shifts FAIL....could I suggest 8, 9, 10,11,12mph system again.
wow..those shifts around 2:30 are soooo slow
So the Z06 seems to have heat problems at the track - this one would too. Cool setup, but if it has heat problems it's not that useful IMO :-\.
seems like a finished product if on street driving it overheats....
I would love to see a tuner do some work on a stingray and see how much track work you can get out of the modified chassis.
The car sounds like a sexual climax (and I think it's giving me one too), but I'd rather leave it naturally aspirated.
why the wind noise! could only watch 5 seconds
Damn it sounds good. But i agree with the rest of the comments, the automatic seems to be really slow, I mean its slower than what most family wagons shifts lol
he wasnt in track mode thats why. if you put it in track mode that transmission shifts faster than the manual and the car is physically faster with an auto vs the manual
This video makes me glad I got a manual haha
This is a Monster car!
I find beyond lame the fact that this thing overheats when going spiritedly DOWNHILL. Let me emphasize DOWNHILL and SPIRITEDLY. I mean,it's not like you were driving at the limit,maybe you were at 7/10. The stock car without a supercharger does the same on the track and you are very lucky if you can do 3 laps with the Z06 before the ECU sends it in limp mode. That,if it doesn't throw a rod thru the side of the case 60 miles after leaving the dealership. Do your research if you don't know what I'm talking about.
what camera is that in the beginining? it looks really wide and really stable.....unless you used a stabilizer.
2cool0 gyro stabilized gopro 4 with a polarizer
Is that the road going out to Big Bear?
So they not only added the supercharger but replaced the stock A6 with an A8 transmission, because the 2014 didn't come with an 8spd. Bone stock? Hmm? I wish I thought 85 degrees was really hot. lol
I have this car the paddles do not sound like that. The mic must be like right next to the paddles because in the car you do not hear that.
Now in other news, I totally plan to put this particular supercharger on my 2015 Z51. Potenza RE71R tires will be part of that setup.
I fucking love tuner cars but fucking hate tuner exhaust notes. I WANT MY SLEEPER CAR TO SOUND SLEEPY GODAMNIT.
I put a Vortech S-trim on my brand new 93 Mustang gt and back then it was a little over 5,000. 15,000 on a BMW which is what I drive, that's like buying a whole M3 right now?
The reaction time on the paddle flick to the actual shift seems atrocious. Do you find that you have to anticipate your downshift points and hit the paddle early for the shift to come in on time? I would go nuts if I hit the paddle in a short braking zone and the downshift didn't come in until after turn-in. That would be unacceptable and downright dangerous.
prototype...but 100 percent production lol. Personally I don't think 8000 dollars for an extra 100 hp at the wheels is worth it but I guess if you have the money to buy one of these cars/blower kits you don't care about that.
Sure does sound good though!
Would love to hear your take on my C7 Grand Sport M7 with a DIY installed Stage 1 Edelbrock Supercharger with canned tune? Dyno'd at 500hp/500 TQ. No other mods
Supercharged LT series are suffering from heat sink from the Factory on the Zo6 unfortunately, seems like it's also the case with the aftermarket supercharging on the LT1. Shame.
I hate California because alot of people from there are moving to idaho, so traffic now is a bitch. Anyway..lol beautiful car. Looks like a pretty area to take me 19 grandsport on a ride🤙🤙
completely stock except for the supercharger and it costs $8k?! and overheats after driving for 10 minutes? Ehhh. Spend that in bolt on mods and an e85 tune and you have the same amount of hp
I know the C7 is a solid car but those paddle shifters sounds sooo bad. They sound cheaply made the and the worst paddle shifters I've heard on any car period. Good thing the engine sounds good but those paddles would annoy me so bad. Hopefully they will make aftermarket shifters for this car.
