  • The C6 Z06 is one of the best cars General Motors has ever made, bar none. With 505 Naturally Aspirated horsepower, a rigid chassis, and great balance, youre a set of brake pads and tires away from being the fastest car at any given track day. This Z06 has been cranked all the way up to 800 horsepower thanks to the addition of a Vortech centrifugal supercharger package from RPM Motors in Santa Clarita, CA. Big surprise: it's real fast.
    Check out this Z06 on Wheelwell!

    The C6 ZO6 and ZR1 have to be even today still some of the best performance bargains money can buy.

    • @CadillaccJ
      @CadillaccJ 7 лет назад +19

      it's not a performance bargain, they are some of the best performance cars ever made. a performance bargain would be a Camaro SS 1LE or any car of that price range doing quick lap times.

    • @dannyllerenatv8635
      @dannyllerenatv8635 7 лет назад +11

      Yes but also keep in mind, these cars offer the power and performance of vehicles that costs more than double of what these do especially now on the used market.

    • @steven-fury
      @steven-fury 7 лет назад +8

      honestly just the base or grandsport with the ls3 to me is the best bang for buck, costs less than both of those cars and the ls3 is boost friendly and mod friend with a good chassis

      I've had my 09 z06 for 16 months and every time I park it and get out I smile.. All stock, driving this car provides experience unlike any other, i could thank the 6 speed for that. Call me crazy but this car has curves I don't see on the new z06 (ofcourse its a beautiful machine) I also believe the value will stay up their as long as the condition is maintained.

      loveburningaway Yeah but you don't get the aluminum frame, flared fenders, carbon fiber bits (on the ZR1) etc etc. Plus, with the current prices of the Z06 and ZR1's it just makes sense to skip the base model if money allows.

      We're All Thieves a reason they are cheap, and probably why the guy swapped the motor is because the factory heads on the LS7 have a defect, so you need to spend at the very least $2k the moment you buy it to fix that. Most guys end up spending close to 7-10k tho and do heads cam.

    • @zenithskull
      @zenithskull 7 лет назад +36

      Chris Cahill they have a geometry problem, which was never fixed. But not every ls7 will drop a valve, I had a 06 from 7k miles to 88k miles with no issues at all. But yea it is a problem that should be dealt with when bought. But for 2k you have a reliable car that can run 10's bone stock and run with supercars on the track.

      ​@nyplantingsgardendesigners5645 it will gain pretty good man. My 700+ whp 07 gt500 jumped 15 whp and 40 wtq peak to peak but was up 25-30 hp thru most of the curve and 40 tq through most of the curve. It was very noticeable and the car already had a full exhaust after the headers it was literally just the headers I changed. Has a 2650 tvs at 20 psi on a stock long block. It made a big difference on sound too sounds alot different and better much more so than I expected from just headers. Even if the stock headers are good long tubes are a game changer on boosted applications. It isn't just about peak to peak gains. Mine picked up a ton of torque and lots of power across the entire rec range. It didn't gain as much up top it was nosing over but the overall curve gains were very good and big torque.

    I really don't like the sounds this car makes. From the idle that never settles at the beginning of the video, over the steam engine sounds from the drive by shots, to the drone the finally settled idle produces at the end (i do suspect the latter is a matter of placement of recording equipment though).
    That said the owner seems likable, and i do have a lot of respect for people who do things the way they feel is right, instead of finding the cheap workaround like most of us usually end up feeling we have to. So; Not a car for me, but respect none the less.

    Have been noticing this car in background shots for a few videos now, was really looking forward to it. Very interesting approach ditch the ls7 and go vortech ls9. Admittedly the ls7 is not a very good boost platform so this makes a lot of sense. Although frankly for only 715whp it doesn't seem worth it. He could have had a pretty bullet proof 620whp NA with not all that many mods to the ls7! Now if you wanted north of say 800 I can see how this would make a lot of sense.

      Everybody has a different tolerance for hp. I wasn't necessarily talking about the amount not being enough, more so it not being worth it in relation to the type of engine used. As in if your going to go that route might as well go for more than 715. J. Moore81 agreed, have an ERL 443 in an 08 z06 and it is a killer set up.

    • @BrisLS1
      @BrisLS1 7 лет назад +1

      My only "tolerance for hp" problem is not enough or not enough torque. I hate pressing the pedal and getting no response, or getting the tach revved all up and still not really moving up the speedometer. Maybe it's a certain flavor of laziness, but there is not car in existence that would be too much power for me, especially in a stick, because I can always choose not to use it. 370 translated out into day-to-day is nothing. You won't have 1/4 that when cruising at low rpm, and depending on gearing, it usually means you're plenty fast in 1st gear but not any other time.

    • @dawgmanfat
      @dawgmanfat 7 лет назад +17

      Why? Because the owner took out the core essence of the z06, the ls7 for the zr1 motor. If he wanted a pure track focused car he could have done it with the ls7 At the end of the day its his money and he can do whatever but it seems sorta pointless because he is not only losing resale value (if planning on selling eventually) but a zr1 will be worth a lot more down the road then a z06

      You don't get nearly as much as a car is worth trading it in. Plus the ZR1s bottomed out in price and they're starting to go back up again.

    The first time you drive a Z06, and I don't mean old-man drive the car but really drive the car fast, you realize that it's something on another level. It's a step above normal "fast" cars like M3s, Golf Rs, etc. Even stock. That's just my opinion and you won't know unless you get to see the difference for yourself. 2011+ Z06's with the Z07 package is where it's at.

    Just out of curiosity, do these people have to sign waivers before you get in their cars? What would be the legal implications if you were to wreck a car during a one take for example? You're obviously an incredibly skilled driver, but accidents happen.

    Matt: "its like a belt driven turbo." Yes Matt, that is exactly what centrifugal superchargers are. Though after owning a car with a Vortech V1, and now owning a car with a turbo, they are completely different. My turbo Volvo makes all its power between 2000-5500 rpm. My old VW with a Vortech (MK3 VR6) made all its boost (maxed out at 12.5psi) above 5000rpm.

      Ya, it really does. You can even hear it inside the car around the ~5:00 mark. Every time MF lets off the accelerator, you can hear that noise. It sounds broken. I've never heard a centrifugal unit that sounds like that.

    • @2008ryanb
      @2008ryanb 7 лет назад +20

      Brian Heiden the procharger is constantly making boost, so once you let off the gas the blow off valve stays open which is why it sounds like that

    • @brianheiden6623
      @brianheiden6623 7 лет назад +1

      I no bro im a mechanic and have a tuned twin turbo Z just sounds horrible on this car. I no the motor is fine and sounds cool in the car just that flutter is horrible almost prefer a blow off I guess. Still a sick car dont get me wrong.

    • @993ts
      @993ts 7 лет назад +15

      ro63rto In the US we use the AKI system of octane rating. AKI is (RON+MON)/2, or the average of both. Because of the way octane measured in the US and Canada it appears as though it has a much lower octane than if it were measured in RON. In addition California has crappy gas meaning meaning if it were measured in RON it would be anywhere from 95-97 octane In most of the United States we have 97-99 octane if measured in RON.
