From what I understood the Naturally Aspirated 458 was a bench mark for how a high revving flat plane crank car should be...its possible the power output goal and smooth like butter 458 is what we should expect the new C8 variant to be like ..with the GT2 RS being the handling benchmark..that's what i heard maybe that's just rumor.
Question, could the ones with the outer exhaust be the "GrandSport" just doing the test at the same time, as they do release them at the same time or just before the Z06.
HorsePower Obsessed I feel in love with them in 1991 When my older brother bought a 1988. However I liked before that because my grandfather had two. A red ‘63 split window and a ‘64, or ‘66 silver convertible with side pipes and a big block. Then my brother bought a brand new vette the 1st year without the flip up headlights. My father and I bought a ‘04 C-5. We are in the middle of swapping out the trans from the auto to a custom built T-56. We just got done building a LS6 with a twin turbo setup. Nothing to crazy daily driver with A/C around 675 to 685hp on pump gas. CANT WAIT. LOL Love your channel man keep up the great content 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm more excited about the flat plane crank engine on the coming Z06 C8 than about a center exit exhaust. I've always thought the center exit exhaust design on the C7 are cheap and gimmicky looking. Although I do like the way the center exit exhaust tips were designed into the Ferrari 458. Hoping GM does a better job of designing a center exit exhaust into the C8 Z06 than they did with the C7.
It is actually the same muffler, they just ran the pipes out the center instead of the sides. Also the side exhaust holes are still there, they didn't bother camouflaging that part because that is not the rear diffuser that will be on the car.
Vettesweetnos hey i notice you always post some info answering our questions about the zo6 whenever a video comes out. By any chance are you close with GM?
@@preauzalam3483 I'm no insider but I don't live far from the plant. I'm coming from an engineer perspective and I've seen a cad that was legit and I've seen a fraud engine spec sheet that someone typed up. My deposit was made a couple months ago so I'm on the wait list.
PLEASE let the Z06 look like the C8-R..... That car is beautiful!!! I'm liking what they are doing with it and I'm beginning to wonder if that rear spoiler on the last video is the active aero wing stuck in the up position for aerodynamic testing.... Very exciting stuff 😁
Center exit exhaust will probably only be on the upgraded Z07 package. I dont think they will remove the trunk. It just takes up the same space people are currently using for their turbos.
Can't wait to see the zo6. But I would never give up that beautiful zr1 you have my God that car so sick . The way you have that car set up best one ever . Please don't change the wheels its just sits perfect with your car .
First off I think you were the first to show a new second video of a c8 Z06 accelerating that's cool. 2nd, car sounds like your average speed bike accelerating, which is awesome! Not sure if it's in the loudest setting though. But we certainly don't want obnoxious. If someone wants that go aftermarket. I believe the car can safely/ reliable 600 to 650 BHP but torque probably 480 up to 550 but if 600 hey who's gonna complain. I bet gearing will be aggressive
This is very exciting. Especially considering the younger crowd are enthusiastic about this car.the old heads may not be too happy about the mid engine layout but GM had to do something revolutionary by moving to mid engine,and taking this car into the future
@@LT4POWERED I loved the circle taillights but i agree rather not have the same thing everytime they make a corvette do hope someday they bring them back it was one of the reasons i loved corvettes when i was a kid still my favorite car even with the camaro lights
@@gaddyify I agree, a car with pop up headlights now would really stand out. Plus, sports cars look more bad ass with no visible headlights. Take a look at the old NSX, they refreshed it and one of the changes was going away from pop up headlights. The original NSX was much better looking than the refresh. I have heard that pop ups are not used due to aero issues and mileage ratings (I could be wrong on this). They could get the same affect by hiding the headlights behind the front grill or just incorporating really small lights at the front. LED's are so small now I don't see why this cant be done. If you look on current sportbikes, the headlights on many are tiny. Or have headlights that mechanically hide themselves at the front fascia, like a first gen camaro.
HorsePower Obsessed it’s funny looking at other videos showing the Demon Ford GT 500 racing the C8 their fans happy when they win but you racing the base model wait to those big dogs come then the excuses are going to come
I hate google they keep makin youtube worse i used to be able to click on the description to see the full title but know i have to find the video flip my phone screen to see a super long title like wth if it aint broke dont fix it 😤
@@TroutButter don't care. either way is fine with me. but if we know that the motor and trans can hold a 1000 hp build and rev to the sky? OMG. Game is over. I can't even imagine what the zora is gonna be like. $200k. Take my money.
I know the feeling, I saw a 1989 Lamborghini Countach pulling out of a parking lot and my phone completely froze while opening up the camera app. Feels bad man.
I know a lot of people will probably hate on me for this. I'm a well rounded car guy. I love vintage Toyota cars and trucks, I love ALMOST every Ferrari ever made, I dig all American muscle cars, Especially Cobras and real GT 40's, and I've loved Corvettes all my life except for a short period in the late 80's and early 90's until I saw the Callaway Sledgehammer Reach speeds near 255 mph. Now for the part that a lot of people wont like. I really believe Chevrolet has been researching mid engine stuff behind the scenes for 50+ years. But in my humble opinion I feel they still have SO MUCH to learn about the mid engine game. We'll see what happens.
I think the center exhaust gripe, stems from the fact a lot of people don't embrace change since it was featured on the outgoing. C7, just like they bitched about the headlight set up on the C6, opposed to pop-up headlights on the older Vettes, and the four-round tail lights issue or the fact they shouldn't have gone with a mid-engine setup, some people struggle, I never understood the whole exhaust issue either, but they're gonna bitch but eventually except it.
To be honest I don't really care where the exhaust is mounted... Of course it would be nice to have them in the middle to help resemble the older generations of the Corvette. But to me if it sounds good and does the job that's what I care the most, this car I can see being a monster!!!
Justin, informative video. I like you having a center exhaust with an aero rear spoiler would be the icing on the cake. Cruising the desert highways this weekend. Blue skies, Jg
Two different tube diameters? I think it looks like a twin turbo bypass system. It also seems like the exhaust note has a "covered" sound like a turbo system would produce. Could this be a test mule for for the ZR1??
The exhaust is the way they test the emissions on the testing unit , they at that GM uses they use a center mounted sensor unit so it was their test bed not confirmed center exit variation but let's hope
Thanks for the video. Question about Shrinking-up the rear and changing the Z06 shape. Is the C8-R differently shaped that the case C8 on the rear and over all body shape? Any smaller? Will the Z06 likely be trimmer than the C8-R?
It would be an absolute wonder if they do the Z06 as a track car with a modern high revving naturally aspirated engine and leave the power display to the ZR1!
@@Jessersadler true but you get valve float with pushrod motors. Sure u can upgrade to stiffer springs but it then takes more force/energy to compress them so imo DOHC is the better option.
"Center exhaust was obviously oddly missing" in the earlier uploads. NOW a center exhaust appears ""oddly" in it's appearance.🤔😁 I have to wonder if it's something "new" in the way of a tuned exhaust header/exhaust system. Not a fan of the looks, but if it's truly functional, so be it. It would not be a deal breaker, just like the rear wing would not be a deal breaker. Save the Wave.🙋🏼♂️
That son of gun sound good. I am happy with the center pipes ...yesyesyeyseyyes!!!! let me see how I am going sale my c6 or keep it. my c7 aint going nowhere. but the new Zo6 is going to be outstanding.
Love the new intro Justin. The center stack of exhaust tips looked a bit funky on the test mule. Hope its clean on the production car. Great information as usual J. Thx man 👍👊😉
Idk, I think if I was to buy a C8, I'd rather have a pushrod than a flat plane only for longevity. I wouldn't sacrifice longevity for exhaust sound. But that's my view on things being a mechanic lol
The zo6 is more of a track car. Id assume the zora would prbably more of a top speed or hypercar oriented model. Still probably bot like a jesko but more of a hybrid track car like the laferrari, p1 and 918. More to compete with higher end supercars like the sf90, the zo6 will probably compete with the huracan, 570s. Possibly verge onto the 488 and f8 tributo. I would like to say mclaren 720s but that thing is out of this world fast so probably not.
Man the Horsepower number needs to be a lot better than 650 horse , this car should come with no less than 800 -850 HP. Come on GM the power needs to be bumped like something seriously it’s a shame to have this wicked mid engine layout with the HP rating from like 10 years ago. If a GT2 pulls on side he’d better think twice if he knows that Vette is packing 8 to 850 horse leet alone a Lamborghini Hurcan .
If they remove the rear trunk (which I doubt), the car will look much better. Right now the rear look too BIG. It's like a sexy girl with slim front but with a BIG trunk.. LOL
I agree. I don't think they're going to remove it either but it could be changed up in depth/dimensions to fit the center exhaust. It probably won't change the size of the car from the outside though even though I wish it would.
Not sure if anyone said this, but that rear trunk is mostly a roof panel storage area. The ZO6 will probably be a fixed-roof so is won't need a roof stow area.
Not a chance in hell they ditch or shrink the trunk. Some may think it’s ridiculous, but A very significant percentage of corvette owners golf. The clubs have to go somewhere. I’ve got a jag XK8 convertible and one of the absolute design requirements given to the engineers was that the trunk HAD to fit 2 sets of clubs and 2 duffel bags for weekend trips. Same with the Vette. I intend to buy a Z06 convertible and if it doesn’t fit golf clubs I’m not interested. I go on extended trips quite a bit and it’s critical to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Sounds beautiful and with that mid exhaust!! Sounds definetley like a real and ultamite super car...cant wait till this baby hits the road...and no i cant buy it but just seeing and hearing it ... ill be good...i think😁😁😒😒
what do I think as you asked- I think you are too hung up on the trunk the trunk is not just for golf clubs, If you want to take a road trip you will need more storage than the trunk. But if all you do is go for coffee trips to meet up with Street Speed then you are fine.
No one's going to be taking a Z07 packaged car on any road trips. There are other cars for that kind of stuff. Performance is more important for this kind of car in my opinion.

Could the one with the side exhausts be the Grand Sport, and the one with the center exhausts the Z06 ??
Not likely. The one pictured with the spoiler had the Sport Cup 2R tires which were rumored for use only with the Z06 and possibly ZR1/Zora.
neither are a zr1, those come at the end of a generation like c6 & c7 did
LOVE the sound, however I cannot STAND center mount exhaust. Looks utterly hideous. Much prefer split dual tips.
Same, idk what the big deal is with center exhaust.
Center exhaust looks so much better than the regular exhaust setup on the C8. Glad the Z06 is getting center mount
I think the center exhaust gripe, stems from the fact a lot of people don't embrace change since it was featured on the outgoing. C7, just like they bitched about the headlight set up on the C6, opposed to pop-up headlights on the older Vettes, and the four-round tail lights issue or the fact they shouldn't have gone with a mid-engine setup, some people struggle, I never understood the whole exhaust issue either, but they're gonna bitch but eventually except it.
Get rid of the trunk, slap in a supercharged Aluminum 427.
@SSG Live Pissant Bitch... Go play some video games...
Your channel is pathetic...

I think the center mounted exhaust is the prototype Z06 and the side exhaust with the wing is the Grand Sport.

Thanks, John! I think the Z06 is likely to be a beast. Seeing it all come together now..
Two different tube diameters? I think it looks like a twin turbo bypass system. It also seems like the exhaust note has a "covered" sound like a turbo system would produce. Could this be a test mule for for the ZR1??
zr1 always comes at the end if a generation, we are nowhere near that. these are Z06 for sure
Vettesweetnos Zora will be the end of this generation not the zr1!
@@jameyturner7097 maybe maybe not, could he an anniversary model year. My point was these aren't zr1s, Zoras, or even grand sports

The exhaust is the way they test the emissions on the testing unit , they at that GM uses they use a center mounted sensor unit so it was their test bed not confirmed center exit variation but let's hope
Let the Z06 live up to its Racecar name and get rid of that useless trunk. You can throw twin turbos without that space or stiffen up the chassis.

Quad centre exhaust pipes...cool. Yes the sound is cool.
FLAT PLANE CRANK (in my Homer voice)😌
Not sure if anyone said this, but that rear trunk is mostly a roof panel storage area. The ZO6 will probably be a fixed-roof so is won't need a roof stow area.
Very possible!
one c8 Z06 testing is a hard top vert tho
The center exhaust car may be a convertible since there wont be a targa top to be in the rear......That may be why they are covering the rear glass.
Man, that flat plane crank engine sounds wicked good! I WANT ONE!!! 😛
You and me both!
Not a chance in hell they ditch or shrink the trunk. Some may think it’s ridiculous, but A very significant percentage of corvette owners golf. The clubs have to go somewhere. I’ve got a jag XK8 convertible and one of the absolute design requirements given to the engineers was that the trunk HAD to fit 2 sets of clubs and 2 duffel bags for weekend trips. Same with the Vette. I intend to buy a Z06 convertible and if it doesn’t fit golf clubs I’m not interested. I go on extended trips quite a bit and it’s critical to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
One is the grand sport
Sounds beautiful and with that mid exhaust!! Sounds definetley like a real and ultamite super car...cant wait till this baby hits the road...and no i cant buy it but just seeing and hearing it ... ill be good...i think😁😁😒😒
Wonder where this thing will redline....? Seems like it would be around 8,300rpm....like the GT350
1:30 looks like the new 2021 Tahoe driving opposite direction.
Yes it sure does! Good eye.
1:29 I want it gone so bad. My only dislike with the car is that trunk. That and I think top exit exhaust would be great.
I want that silver f-150!!!
what do I think as you asked- I think you are too hung up on the trunk the trunk is not just for golf clubs, If you want to take a road trip you will need more storage than the trunk. But if all you do is go for coffee trips to meet up with Street Speed then you are fine.
No one's going to be taking a Z07 packaged car on any road trips. There are other cars for that kind of stuff. Performance is more important for this kind of car in my opinion.
@@HorsePowerObsessed thats my take as well screw the trunk buy clothes when you get there ship them back lol
Lol yes!
The C8 ZO6 is setting up to be a track MONSTER not a Grand Touring car!!..Lol!!
@@HorsePowerObsessed lol you can laugh all you want but I've done it 😆 🤣 😂 I dont care I live in the moment not the past nor the future
