What amazes me is how courteous, all, the drivers seem to be. They use turn signals, move over after passing, and, give adequate space to the vehicle ahead.
@GD 02 Yupp. 4:07 pretty much shows the average situation. Switches to the fast lane while a faster car is coming through endangering himself and others AND hits the brakes after switching lanes. That guy really should get his license revoked for the sake of safety.
well the education level is higher and the process of getting a Driver's license is strict, not like U.S. ..in California getting a DL only takes like 2 to 3 days....Writing test, Training, Road Test, Done.
It must be so nice to have a highway systems that people can really use and respect. The closest thing I can think of here in the States might be the state of Montana. The only time I visited Germany, the Autobahn was gridlocked. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
+robbo ando Haha, let's start one in Russia - half that nation would be dead in a year :) It wouldn't work in the US either.....but I just make my own Autobahns at night in the US :D
My squad leader had a 2004 BMW M3,we got on the Autobahn and got to 156 mph a 911 Porsche Turbo passed us it was goldish brown. The next day saw it parked where our motor pool was i finally found the owner a prior service vet. I asked was it him he said yes,he was in a hurry he was going to the red light district in Frankfurt...how fast he was going he said bout 178 or so ..the avg speed was about 85 my Ford Explorer couldn't handle it..lol.. Germany was alot of fun you youngster join the military and see the world...
I was stationed in Nellingen which is very close to Stuttgart, Germany. I was there in 74, back when things were really nice, no terror shit going on back then, Vietnam troops were being pulled out. Got to travel all over Europe and of coarse driving was really something, I heard about the autobahn so I had to try it. And yes I had a porsche turbo pass me probably going over 150 mph, truly amazing!!
The funny thing is, if you look at some of the cars hes waiting to pass, they're still usually at 200-230 kph... (assuming his speedo is correct) that's still a cool 120 - 140+ mph for those of us in the states. Crazy.
I don't think his speed is accurate, at the end he enters those curves with 90-100 km/h , as tight those curves are there should have been some tyre screeching.
I really admire Germany as they let you responsibly take your vehicle to the speeds it was designed for. Great VID, thanks for turning on the heads-up display. I would love to pick some Sunday morning with nobody around to attain Vmax like Michael here!
Not with straight-line acceleration. Oil starvation occurs during long massive cornering where the most G's can be produced. Luckily and like Murray says, C6 Z06', ZR1s and the late C6 GS' have dry-sumps so they won't have this issue on the track.
They also have "grown up" with the Autobahn. This has allowed people to learn how to use it. If they did allow this in The US it would take a few years & deaths before people would figure out unless you want to ROLL stay out of the left lane. But in any event you are 100% on.
I would say it would turns more heads than say a basic F430 or a 360, for example due to the "wtf is that?" factor of people who are not into cars like when i mention the corvette in a café talk, only half of the people knew what a corvette was and i'm sure everyone knows what a most of the times red car with an yellow logo picturing a black prancing horse in it is ;)
@@uwezink until they lose tribal bias then realise the ls7 is magnificent and the C6 z06 can still challenge modern supercars due to its low weight . Some tuning and you have a monster.
Europe needs more V8's, I have daily driven American cars since 2009 and there is no way getting back to European cars. If the maintenance would not be so ridiculous I would get a V12 Mercedes-Benz. I miss my time living in Germany and how well folk drove on the Autobahn, here in Finland the highways are like a circus....
Yes, they are limited. 205 mph limit, just as David says. The ZR1 definitely hits it. A strong Z06 might, usually a little short of that. Official drag-limited top speed of the Z06 is 198. The electronic limit at 205 also exists.
Your Autobahn video rocks Michael! Now if I can only convince my government to build such a superhighway across the USA. . . and issue special permits and license to those that are skilled can qualify!
Hi Michael! Congratz zu Deinem Video und Deiner Z06! Sehr beeindruckend und ein super cooler sound! Power pur! So ne Z0 das wär was! ;-) Corvette rulez! Bin wenigstens virtuell mitgefahren! LOL Greets from Switzerland! :-)
It's sad that it doesn't as I believe many of our interstates could handle this. The problem is our drivers are not trained well and pull out in front of people. That would lead to too many accidents. I would say the average speed on most of our interstates today is about 70 to 75. And I would say you can safely drive about 85 to 90 on them but much beyond that you risk getting in an accident from someone pulling out on you. Traffic/lack of driver training in the US will always be an issue.
If someone could fund a private road, with strict licensing, and camera's all over the place, and smart people enforcing the strict laws. Just a dream though. I drive back and forth from TN to FL a couple times a year, and people don't seem to understand the whole stay right unless you're passing idea. And everyone thinks the center lane is for god damn cruise control. Yes, I completely understand why we don't have one.
bin die C7 Z51 gefahren aber die ist bestimmt über 100 kilo schwerer, und mehr der cruiser) und das merkste bei den alten Stößelstangenmotoren schon weil die oben raus eben nicht so drehfreudig sind. Außerdem bremst das Aeropackage doch etwas ab und bei 280 ist schluß bzw. der 6te und 7te Gang zu lange übersetzt. Die hat aber noch mal ne Ecke mehr Hubraum soweit ich weiß ;-)
habe die C6 noch nie gefahren aber zumindest die C6 Z06 ist natürlich Leistungsmäßig schonmal stärker als die C7; man muss halt die richtigen VErsionen miteinander Vergleichen ;-) Aber ich habe schon inner C6 dringesessen und nja ich war halt von der C7 verwöhnt.....bin gleich wieder raus ;-) Für mich C7 egal ob etwas langsamer aber tolles Auto.
I think its because it would be expensive as FUCK to build a whole other interstate capable of handling hundreds of thousands of drivers doing 100+mph all at once when we already have a perfectly good interstate system.
I live in the US. And I agree with you 100%. There is nothing that this is me off more than an idiot driving in the fast Lane the same speed as the guy next to him in the center lane!
Most of our drivers (not all but most) wouldn't be skilled enough to handle it here in the states. Constantly we would have soccer moms in mini vans still talking on the phone in the left lane and 18 wheelers trying to sneak in a pass over another truck. It would be nice, but I feel like the states will never become open to the idea.
If they implemented a similar highway system in my city (Vancouver) our population would drop by at least 35% in the first day due to incompetent drivers...
Lol trucks don't ever pass each other, its a nightmare to be infront, while the other trucks tailgate you to drive through a vacuum with no air resistance and save so much gas.
+Zagatto Ryearth Wrong, didn't you see the cars you talk about were BMWs mostly or other German luxury sedans, they can do 250km/h you know....fact is even minivans often go 160-190km/h over there as well.
+Zagatto Ryearth I thought so too at first, but if you slow the video down and stop the time it takes for those black/white posts on the side of the road to pass by you can calculate the speed he's traveling at and it pretty much matches the HUD :)
EXATLY correct just do the math this is real The perception of speed greatly depends on camera zoomDo real wide angle and it will look like 450 kmh Its not rocket science The poles are 50 meters apart here in Germany in case anyone wants to do the math and check.
I know man. I drive from Tennessee to Florida a few times a year. It's fucking horrible. I wish someone could privately fund a road for only "qualified" drivers.
Hi Michael :) Glückwunsch zur Z06, super Auto. Bei mir dauerts noch 2 Jahre, dann steht hoffentlich eine in Velocity Yellow bei mir in der Einfahrt :P kannst du vielleicht mal ne kleine owners perspective geben, also wie das Auto aus deiner Sicht von den Kosten, dem Triebstrang, der Fahrbarkeit etc. ist??

Nice vid, 300kph club sweet, i aim to get there one day when i have a worthy steed 😀 Hey i live pretty near you, in Ebersberg, those roads look familiar. I drive an e46 m3, we should go for a cruise sometime. I am contemplating getting a C6z06 vette for a track car. Ps my m3 is delimited but i have managed only 280ish so you'll have to go easy on my lol.
Am I the only one that thinks the temp is wrong or is unusually high. I mean even if the driver let her warm up to operating temperature, it shouldn't be 100°C right when he takes off. idk I'm only an apprentice mechanic
I see dumb slow drivers in the fast lane cutting in front of fast drivers isn't a uniquely American phenomenon. Must be an amazing feeling to drive a Vette WOT without any fear of police. I don't think I'd want to be that close to the wall with my crappy Goodyear F1 G2's though, as they like to follow cracks and lines in the road.
Sad the fast racetrack is its natural habitat and the country that provides this car can't do it justice. The U.S needs to build an autobahn either by East to West or North to South
What amazes me is how courteous, all, the drivers seem to be. They use turn signals, move over after passing, and, give adequate space to the vehicle ahead.
Yup

It’s called driver discipline
@@Cash2112 4:07 switches to left lane without using indicators and hits the brakes. Yeah, so much discipline right there.

Those drivers polite AF
This is actually a good example of good fast, and safe driving. No running up someones ass to get a pass, or dangerous lane changes.
just normal in Germany. the people who fck it up are those not watching mirrors. 🤷♂️
Yeah, where I live in USA forget it. People are assholes on the road.

What for a nice Ride! Emotions in this Car, makes you Garantie Happy! !!!!
What the hell is wrong with these morons!? They were turning into your lane as you were coming up on them at like 175 mph!
For the metrically challenged, he's going up to about 190MPH. Veeeeery impressive!

Pretty much. It's Autobahn. No speed limit there.
great vid dude, cheers from Chicago
I hate to say it, but most of us ont his side of the pond can barely handle the 55 MPH limit.
But in all seriousness, I would love to see one too!
I'm a fan of Ferrari & Lamborghini,but much respect for the Z06 very good & fast car.
got sweaty palms just watching that
More pushing , more cooling...
Definitly made to floor it.
Your Autobahn video rocks Michael! Now if I can only convince my government to build such a superhighway across the USA. . . and issue special permits and license to those that are skilled can qualify!
No. His HUD speedometer is in KMH and it hits around 304. Which translates to roughly 185 MPH.
The revs on the left dropping when u got closer to redline fucked with me a little bit but good video
Awesome sound! Look here: Corvette loud sound! DRIFT!
hey he is actually driving on the correct side of the also .
Als der Abschnitt noch "offen" war. Jetzt ist von Sulzemoos bis hinterm Berg nach Dachau/FFB 120. Schade.

In the US, doesn't the speed limit apply on all lanes without exception?
gotta wonder if those other motorists know there are versions of that vette in the US that have not 505hp, but that times 3,4, 5 etc.
