The Z and the hellcat are both amazing! The Z will dust the Cat in every respect as far as acceleration and of course handling. Emilia Hartford got 0-60 in 2.4 seconds stock. Stingrays can do 2.9 with the Z51 package. However, the Cat has this feeling of guttural torque and absolute Chaos under acceleration that puts a smile on your face every time. The Z is more composed but is an absolute Beast! The Supercharger on the Cat is intoxicating! The flat plane crank in the Z is otherworldly! IMO Hellcat is the Greatest Muscle Car and ZO6 Best Sports Car under 200k.
I’ve got a Challenger 🐈 & a c8, best of both worlds. Got my c8 in Feb, the amount of attention it gets is unreal. Thinkin of upgrading to the z06 after a year. U spot on the 🐈 (Challenger) is the best muscle car & c8 z06 is best under I’d say $150k
Love the zo6 it makes you feel like you made it in life when you drive it. Can't get enough. I find myself going in the garage just to stare at it. I have a twin turbo 2018 gt also but the zo6 is my love
If the only thing you hear in all these reviews on ZO6, is the grown men giggling while getting on it, it should be all you need to make a choice on whether or not to get one.....all i needed to hear 🤘 Btw, I can't speak on everywhere, but dealer mark ups arent bad, atleast where I live, both dealers I asked were at 5k markup. There's still a wait though 🤷
Great review, nice job. I agree with your low end torque point as a Z owner. I wish it was slightly better but tough to complain when u still get to 60 in 2.6s……the goal is to own all these amazing machines…..
Great review. Making me want to seriously get One. I have the 18 Widebody HC Challenger 6sp, rear seat delete. I do like the Vette. American muscle! Waiting C8 Zr1 to check power range and performance. Thanks for Sharing Sir.💯💥
I jus got a c8 in Feb. Had my Challenger 🐈 for 3 years now, best of both worlds. Took me 10 months to get me c8. Even though I daily the Cat, I get twice as many compliments on the c8
I have a 2024 Stingray convertible. Love it! The Z06 is more power than I need,especially considering that it would be about $40k higher. I really like the exotic,aerodynamic look of the C8.
I'm going to have to order that new ZR1 for 2025. I have a 2005 first year of the C6 conversation, which was also the first year of the electric top. It has 15k miles on it. I know that is crazy but it is what it is. I think I'm going to keep it forever and give it to my youngest daughter when I leave. Until then, drive safe everyone. Thanks for sharing the video.
@@livinglife3230 Expand your search to dealers outside of your immediate area. I saw plenty of dealers posting on facebook groups offering allocations from this past ordering round for MSRP( even if you wanted the Z07 package). Any dealer asking for an ADM today is hoping for a buyer that hasn't kept up with the market the past 2 months and still thinks it is last year. This is coming from someone who did pay $10K over for an allocation in January thinking that would have carried the market through the fall to then have it go lower than that quicker than I thought. I don't necessarily regret it and I love the car, but can see where my impatience got me. I always expected to never recover the $10K.
@@livinglife3230I just bought a 24’ Z06 at msrp of 116K. It’s a 1lz but I traded I’m a 16’ Z that was a 3LZ and didn’t use half the features. Palm Chevy in central FL
@@robsoto6340 Congrats bruh! The ‘24 c8 I ordered was a 1LT, I’m not a bells & whistles guy & they all have the SAME hp. The 1LZ would be fine for me. Haven’t seen or drove a z06 but I can only imagine how much better it is than the c8
Thats why you get the E-ray to get that punch. 600+ TQ. Even more then claimed and AWD. If your willing to forgo the FPC sound you will have a quicker C8 (till the zr-1 comes) , save more money and get better milage.
@PatrickFugate-qk7ev GM said the battery is covered by an 8 year warranty. I think they did that for their other hybrid and EVs. After that who knows but I would assume 2-5k. It's a small battery. Nit like 100kwh tesla. I would be more worried about the DCT for all Corvettes. Lol
The Z06 is a hard pass for me I just can’t deal with the sound of that exhaust noise it got old the second time i heard it when it debut, I plan to buy the AWD ERAY instead , after driving my 2018 ZL1 for the past 5 years I just can’t do the Z06 strictly just because of the exhaust, I’ve never really cared for the sound of an exotic/crotch rocket
Driving a legit mid engine rear wheel drive naturally aspirated two seater around in auto kills me. Great video , good presentation from a guy who likes sports cars but may not actually be into learning appreciating how to operate these cars or care about the engineering behind the car.

Very well said, I completely agree
I have the stingray. I can't even imagine a Z06. Excellent video man.
I appreciate the support, I’m hoping to be able to own a C8 myself one day.
When you opened the door I was like he playing chopped & screwed ⁉️🔥🔥🤣
😂😂😂
I own the convertible. Being able to drop the top with the push of a button was well worth the added cost. Plus its kool as heck to see it convert!

Yessir, it’s great news.

I couldn’t agree more. I drive my HC, and get a few looks here and there, but the C8… it gets crazy attention! 💯🔥

Bro that car is a straight beast
The color is called Red Mist same color as my ZO6 the car is quick
The car was shifting as high as 9000 during testing no problem chevy limited it to 8600 for production
That’s insane!!! Can’t wait for tuning to be available!!

More and more Z06's are popping up for MSRP in stock and allocations. The day of mark ups for the Z06 is over.
That’s definitely a plus 💯💯
Hopefully it gets better, I definitely haven’t seen ANY under 130k in my area
