Still after all these years still a very capable car amongst the top contenders truly a fan....the power to weight ratio and platform is still among the top
It is a real pleasure to watch someone that knows how to drive. Great hand position on the wheel, both hands on wheel, keeping it in the right rpm range. Good work.
Jesus, just riding that wave of torque!!! Those Bimmers and Minis you blew past must’ve thought an F16 flew by them! And this C6 was really buttoned down, nice setup. 👍💪🦅🇺🇸
Best driving I have ever seen here. Muscles remind me of a younger me, and of course the car matches the one sitting in my driveway without any of the mods. There was a ZL1 video put out by Chevy some years ago that was just bone chilling. This reminded me of that one. Totally told all those other drivers to "hold my beer" with one hand while just making that LS7 sing with the other. Thanks.
that car is dialed in.. stable and planted the whole lap. Blowing by all those german and euro cars like they were standing still lol Great job. that LS7 is a beast, sounds soo good.
I am not a road course guy, but this Z06 is really impressive, as is the driver. One thing, if I could drive as well and as fast...FAST... as he can, I believe I would want a full cage.
This car was build together with the C6.R, the car that literally kick anyone else from the American Le Mans. Beat so hard on the Aston DBR9, Viper, Saleen, etc... that all quit. Literally a race car for the street dressing civilian clothes. Funny thing this car is even fuel efficient 😂
There was a race with the Porsche for about 60 seconds, and then it was over. and if I’m gonna take a car on that track in those conditions I am figuring out a way to put flashing high beams switch on my steering wheel telling people I’m passing That was obviously the hardest thing to deal with
Passing everything , hawoo!! Excellent driving skills and a great platform to squeeze the rush you get from racing at the near limits. Great video clarity through the audio and video. Thanks for the cruise !
Awesome video buddy and great driving. I'm looking at getting a c6 Z06. I currently have a 2nd gen CTS-V and my wife wants to do some lapping. So I'll let her play with the V while I take on the Z :)
Very nice driving! Did you change the rear axle ratio to a shorter one? Looks more fun to drive than the stock long gears. Regards from yellow C6Z from Munich!
Well done, nice driving skills. Looks almost easy what you are doing, but looking at your steering wheel i can tell its hard work. 👍 American muscle sounds so good. 😊
One day my ls3 c6 will handle somewhere as good as this z06 I have a carbon fiber hood on it. I think canards are in the works with suspension and wheels/ tires and brakes.
Great lap and super tidy driving 👌. I’m gagging to take my Z over to the ring soon (based in uk). What’s your setup mods wise? Engine/chassis? I’m currently HCI, full exhaust etc etc but stock suspension. Debating whether to go the coilover route or just change the dampers
A Z in the UK! 🇬🇧💪 My car is HCI and full exhaust too. A lot of weight reduction. Now I 'm on coilovers but it was because of the wing. Stock suspension is great, before I had stock leaf with DRM bilstein and was very happy.
Oh that’s good to know. I was looking at those dampers as well. I use it a lot on the road so I’ll go the damper route for now : ) Yeah it’s a rare sight in the U.K. loving it ; )
Great driving!. I also have a modded '06 C6 Z06, 650hp, same Sparkco seats. Handling and power are so easy to drive. Blows off my buddy's Porsche GT3 in the canyons. One of the best sports cars in the world, at the most affordable price. I'm not too disapointed that the new C8 Z06 is too difficult to get right now.
This driver sure as hell can drive this car! Way past impressive; I don't even know what you call what hes doing in this damn C6!!! Unthinkable? Unimaginable? WoW! Impressed. Very. Respect 😎!
Very good driving, fast but not being to harsh on the car👍 I love the C6 Z06. What tires is it on? You have some high corneringspeeds bit no tire skid noise
@@Joey856721 Not sure what size wheel Pierre is running. But on my c6 z06 on the factory wheel rims also on nangkang AR1's the tire sizes are 275/35/r18 fronts, 325/30/r19 back. Ran them at phillip island at a track day here in Aus, great track tires for the money.

After the video was filmed, the Z06 driver got out, crushed the GT3 MR into a ball with his bare hands, and punted it to Austria.
🤣🤣

Great run and very competent driving , would love to go there with my C6 GS , hopefully later this year.
Thank you. I hope for you, it's a great experience!
I thought the channel was called ‘muscle driver’ because he only drives muscle cars then i noticed his forearms
You handle that vette flawlessly. Beautiful video.
Man knows his machine. Hell of a run. 💪🏻

It sucks that they don't let you guys use the straightaway

So many German cars in the way.. move over bish!
2 absolute legends. My goodness Everytime I hear the C6.
One of the last raw American supercars before all the technology bs took away from the driving experience 💯
Exactly!
That and the Viper, don't forget about it 😏
And the 05-06 Ford GT. The last of the best! The Vette, Viper, and GT.

Excellent! Just unbelievably Fast! Great driving! Fast C6!

Nice run, the 427 sounds great.
Thank you!
I have the same nervous or adrenaline tick when driving on the trick, always moving my fingers and readjusting my grip :)

Title should be "C6 ZO6 vs the rest" Nice video!!
Very nice driving! Did you change the rear axle ratio to a shorter one? Looks more fun to drive than the stock long gears. Regards from yellow C6Z from Munich!
Great thing about a big cubed v8 is it has all the tq and doesn’t need to shift as much
Smoooth!
Well done, nice driving skills. Looks almost easy what you are doing, but looking at your steering wheel i can tell its hard work. 👍
American muscle sounds so good. 😊
Well, the GT3 didn't hang around very long.
Does your auto insurance cover a wreck on the race track?
pas facile de piloter et chopper les appels de phares lol
🤣Oui comme si j'avais pas déjà assez de boulot au volant !
7:21 lap time is no joke, even for modern cars! And all yours for the average price of $44k! A seriously bad ass deal
One day my ls3 c6 will handle somewhere as good as this z06 I have a carbon fiber hood on it. I think canards are in the works with suspension and wheels/ tires and brakes.
I suppose he could be even faster if he lift e-brake down)))
Damn, that Corvette and driving skill eats other cars for lunch. Nice.
This makes me love my car so much more . Might actually keep it a while . I'd need some time to have the stones to drive like this guy though lol.
Thumbs down for shifting at only 6000.
This was super exciting to watch 👏🏿
Question, was it easy to do the steering wheel and not have the srs light come on?
Thank you!
Steering wheel change is easy but I have just hidden the airbag light.
Très beau pilotage propre et secure. L'auto marche de folie également tant châssis que moteur. Très agréable à regarder. Bravo !
Merci pour ce commentaire de qualité ! 👍🏻
Beautiful you running any headers or exhaust sounds like a beast!
Thank you!
Stock exhaust with muffler mod and kooks headers.
The forearms on this driver belong on Popeye! C6 STILL POTENT.
OK OK RUclips... I'll watch it finally
I could barely keep up with a C6 in my PROCHARGED C7. This truly is the fastest of all the Vettes!
Idk if it’s the camera fish lense but my lord is that a fast car
Nice driving. Get some of them nice driving gloves.
Never gets old this driver wow control and dialed in car . Naturally aspirated LS7 is a beast .

Stock suspensions are too soft for big aero. Without aero DRM are great. Depends on your setup and use.

Manual. As nature intended.
Do the Euros think the Ring is a good place for a family drive on a Sunday? It appears so.
Yes and sometimes it's very dangerous because of that. They are slow, they don't look in there mirrors and they have stupid lines...
Am I trippin or is the emergency / parking brake still up?

why it's so empty and which app are you using for time track?
