Amen. I never understood why they don’t drive there dream cars and I finally got a real answer from someone that don’t drive his car. He told me that the reason he don’t drive his car is because he was scared something is going to happen to it while driving it. Sounds crazy as hell to me. But hey!
@@coreyc7547 Bro I’m still scratching my head on y they buy them. Hey but if I understood then more then likely I must think just like them and I drive the piss out of mine.
Mike is a great guy, all i asked was to sit in his car to see if it was comfortable, he sat in the passenger seat and said lets go for a ride! Very cool guy
This was one of THE BEST overviews on the C7 Z06 I have ever seen. You touched on all of the things that matter and potential buyers are curious about. Thank you
My dreams have been set on a Z06 for sooooo long. I've loved Corvettes since a child, but I love how much you enjoy your ride, and ride it with so much pride. I'll get mine one day sir! Keep riding!
Great looking VETTE!! I had a C5 Z for 12 years and loved it. In August, I bought an 09 Z with a Lingenfelter 660 build with a few extra goodies to make 700. All Z06's are beasts right out of the shoot. They are pretty much endless on aftermarket builds and maintain reliability. Can't ask for more!
Have a 2017 2LZ not a single rattle, runs great, but always something to work on or refine. Enjoy it! Beautiful and like what you said about the cam wanting smaller think that also helps with supercharged engines as well. Nice to hear the CHOP though!! Stay Strong!
had a 2016 z06 about 5 years ago, and had it built damn near exactly like this mod wise. white with red interior. watching this made me miss it a bit lol but im a c8 owner now and waiting to get my hands on a new z06, toys just get bigger !
I'm recently ( May 2023) back into a Corvette. I have owned a 1988 Z-51, a 1991 ZR-1, and for the last 6 years a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. I now own a 2016 Z06 convertible in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. I love it. It's nice to be back in a Corvette. Thanks for the video!
I have a 2011 Ctsv coupe now. First had a mustang gt, ctsv , always wanted a z06. Is it a big difference going from The V to the Z06? I’m at 530 wheel HP now
I congratulate you on this car and the choice of daily driving it . I think when it comes to American muscle cars the z06 and the ford Gt 500 are my to go cars
Glad there are other people who enjoy their Cars, my Z06 C7 i drive everywhere, its a daily grocery getter, and dropping of my recycle, people give me strange look as remove trash from my car, also i had 76 trans am bought new at 22, now 69, and currently working on 79 for friend black and Gold, continue to enjoy life with the Z06👍🏿😎 Real men do triple digits.
Experienced beyond clutch chatter in my GS #416 sounded like metal on metal Cadillac brakes. NOBODY would fix it crazy I see it now and then on some poor dealers lot. Sad beautiful car. Had a 2002 electron blue Z06 best vet and a 2017 Z06 convertable great car. Kinda building other stuff but Sir once you have this great life Corvette will always be like you say. Thank you.
Wow I too flew to Missouri and bought my 16 Z06 with 3800 miles! And drove back 14 hours. Surprised I never got pulled over because man it was loads of fun 😂
Once you have a corvette you will always have a corvette, facts! Bought my first once back in 2011 or 12 I believe, c5z, traded that for a c6z about 6 months later which I still have today. Picked up my third one about a year ago, another c5z and now looking at c7z lol
i am going to be like this guy ... always wanted the zL3 z06 2017 in black and do all the basic mods possible while driving it as a daily. I think the owner in this video and I would get along lol
Salute to you sir! You drive it like its meant to be! Someday I'll be a z06 guy. If i can get one before gas goes to $8 a gallon. How many sets of tires have you gone thru in all that mileage?
@@TreadDepthChannelEvery five years, I met a couple from South Carolina in Concord, N.C. in 2019 he had a 2019 ZR1 and she had convertible Z06. She said she had a down payment on a C8.
Transmission shudder are the cylinder dropping to v-4 Mode i thought we bought a damage transmission Car 7k miles until i found a guy who bought a cylinder Range module, that keeps the car in V-8 mode 24-7 eco mode, touring, so on, i promise you our Z06 is a totally new car with that module, and GM know that engine design good in some areas but horrible, who wants a high performance Car that drop to a four cylinders, which is going to eventually do damage to engine.
I can clearly hear the supercharger during the pull at the end. Do you know how he did that? Or which of his bolt-ons made that louder? You can't hear the supercharger even a little bit stock.
Another thing man! How is the whine so noticeable, I can’t hear shit on mine. It is still stock and I know the cover ontop of the super charger is a silencer for some dumb reason. But other than that what else did you do to make it sound so much more noticeable
Lol interesting. You had the Smoky and the Bandit TA. I was gifted the next gen TA as a senior. I had a 1989 Flame Red GTA. Then you replaced it with a Mustang GT. I was thinking about that until Ford pissed me off. I left the lot and never again tried to buy a Ford. Years later I bought a 2003 Z06 new. You ended up buying a C6 Z06. We both now own 2017 Z06. I have an Arctic White Z06 with 3LZ package. Black leather. No dash problems on mine yet. If one of the rattle problems you are mentioning is the targa roof when in place just look it up on youtube. They have a gasket fix for that.
Hi, not the owner here, but it's cool to hear, im sure you and mike could probably sit down and talk forever. You know what they say about great minds lol
Авто/Мото
Glad he actually drives his car, you don’t have to save your car like you save money. Tomorrow not promise enjoy life!!
Mike is the very definition of drive it like it owes YOU money

Mike tried to live fast and die young, hes just having trouble dying young

Yeah he is, not really a selfish bone in his body
This was one of THE BEST overviews on the C7 Z06 I have ever seen. You touched on all of the things that matter and potential buyers are curious about. Thank you
the whole video is asking questions and having the owner answer them as if they were informing, i try to ask the questions that are popular FAQs
My dreams have been set on a Z06 for sooooo long. I've loved Corvettes since a child, but I love how much you enjoy your ride, and ride it with so much pride. I'll get mine one day sir!
Keep riding!
Chase your dreams
@@TreadDepthChannel I greatly appreciate your comment! You already know that I will! 🙏🏾
This is the perfect review! Answered every question I had! Love the honesty and realness
It's not like I'm getting flooded with comments might as well answer what I can

I like having a Corvette because if its got any problems someone else has guaranteed the same problem and theres a fix for it
@@TreadDepthChannel 👍🏿Yep😄
Respect to this guy! 80k+ miles!!!! 👍🏾🫡🫡🫡

He certainly is dedicated to the z
I have a 2017 M7 ZO6 2LZ And love it. So fun to drive. Way impressed with you driving the tires off of it.
Mikes plan was to live fast and die young, he just never died
every time i feel demotivated to make videos, i watch videos like this to remind me of the goal
Thanks! but i dont even this this is my best work lol
I fell in love with the Z06 when i was a kid and now,as a teen, i still dream to drive one a day...maybe in the future i will...🖤
Owning a z06 is a dream, but i realized that a base is all i need
My first impressions.. Like this guy!👍 And the cars not too shabby....
When you absolutely have to go as fast as possible for the least amount of money... Corvette

Z06’s are fast from the factory,but everything can be made to go faster,of course
Some things are easier to make go faster than others

Mikes the goat
Wow I too flew to Missouri and bought my 16 Z06 with 3800 miles! And drove back 14 hours. Surprised I never got pulled over because man it was loads of fun 😂
The only good reason to go to Missouri!
THANKS BRO. GREAT JOB !!
Thanks!
I thought you would be a manual transmission guy. Every day driving I can understand. I enjoy my stick Z06. So much fun.
He used to be, but the auto doesn't miss a shift
My 2019 Z06, stage 3 aero black on black coupe. Is fresh 👌 ❤😎
So QUICK 👍!
The intro is awesome
I wanna make it different for everyone, im bummed i didn't think about it for your video
The only thing yours is missing is the rear air diffuser. Overall a beautiful Z06.
Beautiful
Once you have a corvette you will always have a corvette, facts! Bought my first once back in 2011 or 12 I believe, c5z, traded that for a c6z about 6 months later which I still have today. Picked up my third one about a year ago, another c5z and now looking at c7z lol
Im on number 6 myself
@TreadDepthChannel nice, hopefully I can jump on a c7z by end of year. Prices seem to be coming down all across used and new cars
@@jazamora7521 interest rate be slapping
Love seeing high mile cars #drive your car
Hes probably over 100k now
I’ve been looking and they have some nice ones with not a lot of miles on em in between 60-70k. No too bad
The stiffness is what comes with a sports car
i am going to be like this guy ... always wanted the zL3 z06 2017 in black and do all the basic mods possible while driving it as a daily. I think the owner in this video and I would get along lol
Hes pretty easy to get along with
Salute to you sir! You drive it like its meant to be! Someday I'll be a z06 guy. If i can get one before gas goes to $8 a gallon. How many sets of tires have you gone thru in all that mileage?
Bro goes through tires like every other oil change
It has more supercharger whine than mine. Looks great
Upper and lower pulleys will do that to a mfer
Why daily that car ? I love mine cause I drive it as a treat. I love my manual z06 3Lz and love the stage 3 areo amazing car
Definitely my next vehicle! 😭
Do it
Are you going to Bowling Green, Kentucky this fall? I am going with the Va, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland Caravan.
Mike doesnt really participate in all that

I can answer your question with two words: a blast!

Oh yeah, hes got a bigger lower pulley and a smaller upper pulley. That supercharger is TURNIN
Thanks for the replies my friend@@TreadDepthChannel
My targa top is nearly NEVER on the car. I'm thinkin about selling it (the targa top)!
When its nice out, mines off consecutively
That’s stupid lol don’t do that
Another thing man! How is the whine so noticeable, I can’t hear shit on mine. It is still stock and I know the cover ontop of the super charger is a silencer for some dumb reason. But other than that what else did you do to make it sound so much more noticeable
With a smaller upper and bigger lower pully the supercharger is being spun much faster
Did porting the blower help increase the volume of the supercharger whine ?
I'm not sure if anything it should lower because it's lowering the restriction
Nice😂😂😂😅
Do you know if the person he bought it from just happened to have both the carbon and clear top and threw in the clear with the sale of the car?
I believe he bought it from a dealer in Missouri, i think he only got a carbon roof
Thanks, his c7z is identical to mine and I'm just so curious about another owner experience. Thanks for the replies.@@TreadDepthChannel
He said the car isn’t fast now? Or is he saying it isn’t fast even after he got it to 760whp?
Hes pretty humble about how its not faster than say 1300 hp lambos lol
lol the drone falling
For a drone with object detection it sure likes to run into everything
Plz tell me what did you do to make it whine that loud
Smaller upper bigger lower pulleys, the secret to all superchargers
@@TreadDepthChannelcan you give me the link for the pulleys to make the supercharger louder
@@HamesJapl www.gscreations.com/c7-z06-corvette-lt4-balancer-and-supercharger-pulley-kit/ i dont think its this, but something similar
idc what anyone says but Corvette's are sick Af.
Especially 800+ hp ones lmao
Any issues with crack wheels?
Yes hes had a few bent/cracked wheels
What tires are you running ? I have a 2018 CMG Z on blk wheels stock
Looking to get a 2015 z06 anything I should know before buying ?
How to drive it 😂 it might have some torque converter shudder that a transmission flush will fix but other than that; hang on
Overheating in that year model?
@@YarMobile you askin me or him lol
Only the automatics have the overheating problem. Manuals don’t have the problem.
I have a 2015 Z06 manual and I live in Phoenix and I’ve never had a overheating problem even in the summer driving it hard.
How the hell you put almost 50k miles on a car in one year especially on a Corvette?!?!
mike is a wild guy
i am welling to buy if he is welling to sell it
Hes gonna take it to the grave
ive had my 19 zo6 for almost 2years..manuel...why wood a guy want any-more power...u a proff. race car driver??..i-dunno????
Mike is actually insane
how does he like it versus the c6
His particular c6z was awful to him
fckn sick. all blacked out. someday someday
mike has a thing for black on black on black
Who the hell pays $70,000 dollars for an AUTOMATIC!?!?! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!
