Love how he actually tracks his cars and not just drags them!!
Dam rights. Using the car what it was designed for.
Thank you! On track you go fast in a straight line more than once and you get NON stop adrenaline!
@@SpeedPhenom exactly. A quarter mile is over in well, 10 seconds. Doing 20 minute sessions of non stop adrenaline is where it’s at!
Since he was 16 years old in the GT350 passing all sort of European Exotics
Lol. It’s only for the channel.
This is what we’ve been waiting for Austin. Thanks for sharing the journey getting here! Sick looking car and glad to see it preforms as great as it looks!
The sound of it and watching you blow past some of those other cars made my morning!
Unlike any other exhaust...
Man, when he's holding at low rpm thru a corner, hits the apex, And then floors it..
..that screaming engine note & instant throttle response is so damn satisfying😍🔥🙌
No lag, no delay, instant
@@SpeedPhenom I could tell, this car continues to impress🤘
It was awesome to meet you at this event and wow the ZO6 in person and on track was just incredible the sound and power!! Paired with a great driver like yourself excellent combination…looking forward to more !
I think this might be a Z07, I say that because of the carbon fiber package on it.
@@jetindersingh9223 they're all z06 cars. You can add the z07 package and yeah his has it.
Thank you so much! It was great to meet you too and congrats on again on your C8!
@@SpeedPhenom your videos are really cool man. Watching them makes me want to track my mustang gt haha. Keep it up brotha
When are you coming to COTA?
Respect to the Z06 for always keeping the other manufacturers on their toes! Absolute beast of a car, best bang for your buck out there right now.
So good out there!
I know right. I wasn't too impressed by the regular C8 corvette to be totally honest, but the Z06 with a flat plane crank and a naturally aspirated 670hp V8 absolutely blows my mind.
As an owner of a C6 corvette, it's so amazing to see the evolution of the Corvette and to see it really is hanging in there with the exotics and even surpassing them. What a great driver you are Austin. I'm surprised you haven't talked to a racing team about becoming a pro driver and getting a ride. Learning from and enjoying all of your adventures.
Wow thank you so much! You're too kind! I enjoy testing new cars out. Used to race a while back. SCCA
POS
That thing looks like a monster! Great job, man!
It is! Think you'd really enjoy it!!
did trans/clutch slip @ 7:30 min in?
Great job and content Austin! I really appreciate how you truly DRIVE your cars. Your skill is obvious and your eagerness/willingness to share your experiences is awesome! Thanks, and keep up the great channel and content!!
Wow you're too kind!
Awesome seeing this thing rip around the track in person, sounds amazing.
Thank you so much!
Austin, there are a lot of things (all good) that I would attribute to you, but SPEECHLESS is NOT one of them! We all get to live vicariously through you, and you do not disappoint! Keep the track days coming. Unfortunately, Laguna Seca will be closed for some time, and when resurfaced, lap times will be comparing apples to oranges. My Streets of Willow times dropped by 4-5 seconds with the new surface. Congrats on the 1:45 at AC Speedway. There's lots more time out there for you!
Ever since you picked up the car, I've been waiting for this video. Needless to say, the wait was worth it! Great Track Day! And here's to hoping for many more!
This is just the start. Our first feel for it. Now the legit tracking starts
Goddamn listen to that thing! I don't care how fast EV's are nothing will ever replicate this visceral experience
The C8Z just doing it’s thing. Awesome machine. Keep up with the great videos!
Will do! Thanks!
What a post..thanks SP.that was nuts. That sound..car is dialed in.
Dude, thank you so much for showing us this. I love seeing you track these cars.
I love watching drag racing but these cars are meant to for tracking.
Indeed they are! Thank you!
I wish Prince was alive to see what his “Little Red Corvette” has actually become!
GM hit the ball out of park. Also I am so glad you got yours first!
Great video, great driving, great enthusiasm.... you were the exactly right young man for GM to deliver the first ZO6!
Enjoyed watching your trip back from picking the car up. Love that you're already running it on the track. It's what it's made for! Thanks for the videos.
Great job finding the sweet spot! Got in the groove, all systems warmed up, and pushed it! Takes a steady hand, and a lot of balls!👍
Now this is a horse of an entirely different color, but I did 185 mph repeatedly, down the front straight in an Indy Car trainer! One gear, no mirrors, follow the line of the instructor. Maxed out at 185, wouldn't go any faster!
They had these C8 Z06`s at Indy in the spring and they topped out at 164 at the end of the back straight I think the 4-5 gearing is too long for the torque curve.IMO
Cool thing about this video - You do it 1st, for everyone else its like - been there seen it before..... Great Content !!!!
I LOVE watching you race the C8's (lol, not a Ford fan), you got talent brother!
It’s incredible to watch Corvette put out these types of numbers!
Stock too!
@@SpeedPhenom So pumped on these new Corvette’s and your testing is putting it on full display for everyone to see!
Can we get this man a Michelin sponsorship so he can keep this thing rolling on track. Whoever can sponsor him for brakes also, just do it.
AGREE!!
Is this a rich kid? Sicking
@@randyreneau2086 Just because your not doesn't give you the right to be a jerk about anything....
He made his own money. Do some research before you make yourself look like an ass.
@@randyreneau2086 if you’re broke just say that 🤷🏻♂️
Happy for you Austin! Keep it coming!
Amazing video!! Honestly did not want it to end. Can't wait to see what this car can really do. Thank you for the great content and showing us exactly what that car is meant for.
Oh man Austin your having too much fun! Great video seeing your Z06 on track as I know every inch of the Roval there. I was surprised that camber still had to be adjusted for the track as I thought the Z06 was track ready but perhaps the street setting makes sense since many will not track the car. COTA should be a blast!
LOVE YOUR ZO6/7
Love watching your journey with the Z06, but this video got me as hooked as the Z06 around that track! Keep the vids coming!!!
Great meeting you out there bud. Thanks for showing me the line on this track. Had a ton of fun bringing my cousin as a ride a long and pushing her g force tolerances to the limit haha 😂
That was epic! Randy pobst Jr! Your mad driving skills are better and better every time I watch! That car is perfect! Can't wait for the next one!
No way I live like right next to the speedway track would love to see the corvette that day ugh
Amazing video! Carrying some crazy speeds into those turns.
Thank you! Car had a ton more in it... the downforce is very apparent
I know the cars phenomenal. But this cat can drive.
the sound of that car is amazing!!! Great driving, put it to the test Bro.
Austin, great seeing you at the track! Was a blast watching in person. Thanks for sharing the journey. BTW, kinda cool I'm in your video.
In a way it's good that these are so hard to get right now. Temptation might get the better of me.... Really strong driving! The car looks absolutely flat in cornering and I could listen to that sound all day. This is what the new gen of corvettes should have been from the beginning. Not that the base model is bad, but this engine just seems to be more proper for a mid-engine exotic.
that was awesome really great video and I want this so bad now
Awesome time for the third lap.
Really good Content so far from your whole C8 Z06 Journey !!!
I like that you actually track these cars to unleash their potential. Thank you. To me, it's not about the straight line performance but how the car behaves around corners.
If you make this way, I’m in San Antonio. I am hoping to have my z in January.
This has been a longtime coming. Keep the track videos coming!
Be blessed buddy!
Ohhh they are coming rapid fire!
It's been a while since you've made one of these videos... Just you, the car and track... Screaming silence... What an adrenaline rush. I could feel every turn and shift. Loved every minute. Congrats!
Blew by that C7 Z06 like it was standing still. That Flat Plane Crank V8 engine, is amazing.
So happy for you, what a journey its been. Delivery to now finally on the track! Enjoy in good health.
Can't wait for Willow Springs and Laguna Seca.
You really do motivate people to get the most out of their Corvettes, thanks for the great video.
I love how the backfire perfect syncs with the shift up
The shifting sounds absolutely amazing.
Absolute awesome video Austin! Just like everyone else, was waiting for this particular vid to show what the Z06 can do. Needless to say this was exactly what we were expecting from that beast! Your track skills are amazing man, best RUclipsr driver for sure! Keep up the great content and look forward to the next one!
WOW, your very good on the track, well done captain. Thanks for flexing that Z06. Thanks for sharing.
Finally! What I've been waiting to see/hear. We need people like Austin, to show us how reliable this car is going to be. Of course I'm on a list for one, but I've been so apprehensive about the reliability of this new engine.
We could see Austin gradually speeding up over the minutes. He's only going to get faster. LOVE IT!!
Excellent video Austin, love the track videos, keep them coming.
Finally some track time. Looking forward to more track comparisons. Especially if you can drive another car and the Z06 on the track on the same day and compare your seat of the pants feel and actual times.
I’ve been waiting for this video 😁 this is such an amazing car I absolutely love it. By far the best corvette ever produced even tho at first I had doubts ab the C8 but it’s grown on me so much and the Z06 only solidified it. I can’t wait to see what they do with the ZR1 👀 I can only imagine how that 5.5L is gonna be when supercharged I mean it already makes 670 stock so it’s def goin into the high 900’s to 1,000’s I’m sure of it
I read an article saying a twin turbo is coming next year with 1000+ hp!
They’ll def TT it given the type of powertrain instead of a SC. It’ll be a beast
@@MStrange88 yeah that does make sense but either way I think 1,000whp could be a very realistic possibility. And for a production vehicle that’s absolutely insane
@@michaelmaas5544 I wouldn’t doubt it it’ll be insane
@@michaelmaas5544 I thought the 825/850 HP was going to be the next car after the hybrid.
Thank you for straight sending it at the track giving us knowledge of the C8 Z06
You are welcome!
Awesome vid Austin. Glad that you took her to the track. Keep up the great content!
I got chills watching this. So cool, lets see the track video's continue daily haha
Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but it’s clear how much of a track war machine the Z06 is lol. Absolutely ridiculous car, paired with an incredibly skilled driver!
YOU ARE BRILLIANT
Looks like the Z has ton of grip exiting the corners. You def left some time out there. Little late back on the throttle exiting a few of them.
Great job young man. That thing sounds sick.
haha thanks!
Awesome run Austin, this is my favorite track! What octane fuel did you run?? We know you'll be down a little power if it was just 91. So was 1:45 your best time so far? With my Modded C7 Z06 on scrubs, I've been 1:46.1, but that was pushing it VERY hard, GREAT job, can't wait to get mine, put deposit down over 3 years ago...
Austin, you’re the only RUclipsr knows how to drive these cars. You should be getting at least 500,000 subs. Awesome man…
0:57 the Vette looks so happy to be free of its license plate!
I've driven that track... so long and turn 3 has an impressive bank the first time you see it. I'm jealous...
I’m not gonna lie, I’ve never been a big fan of the channel but I loved this content. You’re not just out doing pulls and burnouts. You’re getting out and driving it in anger on a racetrack. I track a c5z and love it. Obviously c8z is leaps and bounds better, just love seeing the track content. Get that thing to Sonoma! Such a fun track
Corvette Team knock it out of the park with this car.
This car is a real race car.
Got into sim racing and even though it's nothing like the real thing, makes me appreciate the in car view here more
I love this car, glad he tracks it. Gonna pick one up
Speed Phenom Absolutely Incredible Video I'm so glad your First official track day in your Absolutely Incredible C8 Z06 Z07 and I'm so glad it went very well and I can't wait to see more Track Content
Epic on track! I almost can't wait to see what the ZR1 will do!!!
me too!
Your giggle was hilarious.
Love the track vids so much! Thanks man
Nice 1:45 very fast lap. Good job thanks for the video.
that svj really put #666 on his car haha
Magnifique!!! What a ride! And what a nice sound
Austin,
Great video and content on the track! Really looking forward to seeing more track time for the Z07!
Be well
-Shane
I really appreciate it Shane
@@SpeedPhenom Austin, how did the comp seats feel during your long journey home? Comfortable during the trip or uncomfortable after long periods? I'm ordering a set of comp seats for mine and will be doing long drive adventure's with it!
This is a blast!! Looking forward to time comparisons with the McClaren! Congratulations
Thank you!
awesome job of driving as per usual! Its sad that the vast majority of these magnificent cars will end up in some collectors warehouse collecting dust or flippers trying to make a buck. I live in the snow belt where we don't have any tracks worthy of such a machine so I'll live vicariously through you. Thanks for taking us along
Nice job tracking it! I'm sure you're just warming up to the track and getting comfortable but Through the big bank you should be able to enter at over 160, and hold at a bare minimum 140+ through it with this car. I rented a V6 Camaro once because my C6Z was down and I was holding 135 through the bank, so I know your C8Z will be far better. My best time back before I knew what I was doing was 1:48 in my C6Z, when I get my C8Z I'll see what it'll do at ACS, WSIR, BW. Either way, keep up the great videos 🎉
I noticed that are you talking about the final turn before hitting the straight that bends around? I have a 26k sim so I no a little but I think he could have foot floored around that last turn to the straight! Just my opinion but I don't have real life experience as you guys do!
@@mareewalker1096 no not final corner, I'm talking about the BIG banked corner. NASCAR Turn 1 & 2 at that track
Austin..there is no doubt why GM got you first ZO7. You are the car's best salesman. Your driving skills and knowledge, plus your personality makes people want to own one. Track time is always my favorite part. Since you took your mclaren to the track day...does that mean you got a trailer??? You also set the best lap time for a NA. Great job. I really enjoy the review and the car. New tires on order yet???? Ps....did the track prep papers help you set the car up.??
VERY NICE...can't wait to get back on track myself....what a feeling!
Can’t wait for Laguna and COTA lap times
That's awesome good racing.
Sick! Great job Austin!
Just found this channel. Love the enthusiasm. Will continue to watch.
Been waiting and FINALLY. Loved it Austin.
I’m alil under the weather but you made my day
Wow, you’re the man.
Love the way you drive the car, can’t wait to see when you really get hooked up👍
Thank you so much Anthony!
This is so awesome!! Keep the Z06 track content coming Austin!!! Tons of interest here.
Thank you so much Jack! Will do!!
Way more car than the average Joe can handle💪👍
Austin, I was very impressed with the Z06 and your driving skills. You and the car will continue to get better. What happened to the Lambo SVJ?
Thank you! Chris was giving rides. Such an awesome guy
Great drive man! 11:13 laugh after a great performance 😂
Hahaha!
That thing rips! Outstanding driving 👍👍
nice to see ya using it as meant and glad to hear it is as good as the lt on track can you feel weight difference on track between the 2?
Great vid it sounds like a pack of Hayabusa's and builds speed like a bike too..Insane car🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow, the Z06 continues to blow our minds with it's phenomenal performance! Obviously, having you behind the wheel, adds a huge advantage to its performance! Keep up the great content Austin!
What a car!!! So much of everything. Just as good as other supercars for less money. Love it.
Crazy to think about!
Brawn beauty and grace. It's such an ideal Corvette.
Austin
Awesome video today
Wow 🤩 you did a great job driving the Z06
Thank you for sharing with us
It left me in awe
Happy you enjoyed it!
