Hello everyone and welcome back to Brink of Speed! I hope you enjoy this video about the 3 Z06's that I had the pleasure of owning and I hope it helps you if you are wanting a Z06, decide which one is the right one for you. Everyone have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you out on the road!
I was driving my bone stock c6z06 and a c7z06 pulled up next to me on the fwy, we did a few pulls and he couldnt manage to pull but half car length on me... we ended up taking the same exit and talked for bit, he couldn't believe how fast my c6z06 was! Truth be told i was more surprised that my car was able to keep up with his c7z06! Definitely made my night!
I presently own these same cars,c5 z06,c6 z06 and c7 z06. I'd just like to say this to all the people who complained about the seats in the c5 and c6,they may have cheaply made in comparison to the the c7,but to me they were 1000 times more comfortable and know someone out agrees with this
Daniel Slone That’s so cool that own all those cars right now! I for one like the comfort of my C7 seats way more than the C6 or C5 seats! Thank you for your feedback sir!
Hello Mike, thank your for sharing your experience and compassion of the last 3 generation ZO6's. You are one lucky and blessed guy to have experienced this caliber of car. Good on ya! Blue skies, Jg
Hi Mike this is my second comment on this video what happened to the first is beyond me, I fell in love with Corvettes 1954 when I was 14 now 64 years later I still hope to one day have a Corvette I have not given up thanks for the video really enjoyed it keep up the good work
Bob Cohen That’s Awesome, I totally understand falling in love with the Corvette at a young age! I fell in love with them in about 1986, when I was only 6!!! Thank you for your kind words and your feedback!
Hey Mike, wanted to thank you for sending me to World of Corvettes in Dallas; awesome place with awesome people! I ended up buying a 2019 Grand Sport from another dealer but wanted to tell you that, partly, because of your videos....I am a first time Vette owner. You also inspired me to create my own channel. I hope to meet you one day at a rally or something like that. Thank you for always putting out great videos!
Blazing 903 Hey there bro, you’re welcome! WOW 😮, I cant wait to see pictures of that beautiful Grand Sport! Thank you for the kind and inspirational words bro, I’m super excited for you that you started your own channel! Best of luck with it, and heck yeah, I can’t wait to meet you in person! 😊
Thanks for your great video. I own almost the twin to your 2015 ZO6. Mine is a ZO6 Laguna Blue 2016 and it doesn't have the ZO7 package. My first Vette was a 2008 C6 convertible that was also a fantastic car.
nice video, I assume you will be waiting for the Z06 version of the C8? Used like you purch is the way to go. So looks like you won't be getting the C8 for several years. That is of course that they release a Z06 version.
Theclassiccarnut Thank you! Actually no, this will be the first time that I buy a brand new Corvette and I'm going to do my best to buy the first model that comes out! It is the only smart move for this channel!
Theclassiccarnut Yes sir, and I absolutely do think it’s going to be there. I can’t wait to hear confirmation on it, cause as soon as I do, I’m buying my ticket to go! 😊
Holy Cow Mike! You bought a C5 Z06 Cash at 25????????????? Then you traded that one for the c6 at age 36, and at age 38 you bought the c7 z06 3lz with z07. that's really cool, how do I start? I'm only 18 and in college lol! what age should be ideal? and should I start with a stingray and move up? Thxsss
Ivan Franco Actually I didn’t buy them with cash and I got rid of my first one after 3.5 years. If you have the money to buy one, I recommend getting one as soon as you can. As far as what model you should get, that is completely up to you. Some don’t care if they have a Z06 or not, they just want a Corvette period. Again though if you have the money, get what you like best! 😊
Just save till you have enough man that's what I'm doing. then getting a loan to buy the car and using the money I saved to pay off said loan to build credit. You're gonna pay hell on insurance too when I was 17 my Camaros insurance was like 200 something and it was PLPD. Not even full coverage, which I'm sure ur gonna want for the Corvette.
Excellent, excellent comparison video Mike. But wait just a gull darn minute. Hold the phone, stop the music! You're saying we should purchase one of these ZO6's "and never look back?" And right after I spent hours adjusting my rear view mirrors, test driving, re-adjusting and re-test driving multiple times in order to get my rear view mirrors adjusted perfectly, in accordance with your video of November 3rd, so that I COULD LOOK BACK!??? What's next? Telling us to wait and buy a C8 where all the rear view mirrors are fully automated and totally computerized for "perfect rear view viewing with just the touch of button?" Sorry, but I can't afford this channel anymore. I'm going to "How Doyougo in a Hugo" channel. The Hugo only has one rear-view mirror, so it's one and done! No time wasted so that I can get behind the wheel and enjoy the absolutely blistering 0 to 60 speed in 32.5 seconds. If that's not fast enough, they recommend I remove the passenger seat, rear seat, heater, hood, trunk lid and spare tire which will give me a 0 to 60 speed in a flat 32.0 seconds. Not THAT is what I call being on the Brink of Speed!
Hey Mike, I too have a 2015 Laguna blue Z06 Z07 but its an M7 convertible. Recently a friend did a RUclips video on it. ruclips.net/video/xB8v0oc2TGc/видео.html

Yeah, the C6 Z is super fast because it's so lite! Thank you for sharing this with us Armando!

Terry Mertz Yeah me, it was an amazing car to drive! Thank you sir!
Nice vid...looking for my first vette...preferably a Z06, so this was perfect. Thank you!
Thank you Christopher, that is awesome! I'm so glad this helped you and good luck with your hunt for an amazing Corvette Z06!

@@BrinkofSpeed That's right, you did mention that already. Do you think it will be launched at the Detroit auto show?
