I bought a Z06 for my father and he loved it. The sound and the way it drives are amazing.
Can I be your dad?
American Muscle #1 ⚡️🇺🇸
Sound is everything in a car 💪
@@larryc1616the zo6 isn't a muscle car anymore
@@Forza_Geek.Never was a muscle car, its a sportscar
I’ve never thought I would watch 28 min of this! Super entertaining! Thx
Best comprehensive detail of the interior.
This car is fire! It like a jet plane.
I love seeing Brooks living his best life!
Haven’t seen a practical vette video like this. Thanks for the effort and pov.
That's my favorite color scheme in the Z06- the contrast between the black and yellow looks completely bad ass.
Ha, never noticed that big ol' gear for the folding window mechanism. Kinda unapologetic, love it!
I really appreciate the fact you have several nice houses in different locations vs. 1 massive house. GREAT CONTENT TOO
Super cool Brooks, good to see you out having some fun man!
Brooks, just got back from Colorado and was checking out a buddies GT just like yours. What an amazing machine!
man the car looks so brutally good, like a rocket thanks for the video
Love the detailed video Brooks and the car is amazing!!!
my goodness that car is beautiful and it’s green my favorite
It's yellow. 😅
Gotta love driving in those beautiful mountains in the fall! I absolutely love the north GA mountains up where I’m at. Enjoy that ZO6!
How could I not give a thumbs up . Awesome video
Dragtimes Awesome Video I think it's awesome that you explained how to drive a C8 Z06 Convertible for that need to know and I can't wait to see what's next
Beautiful Z06 AND A FANTASTIC DESCRIPTION of Everything! Love your Shoes, Brooks!!! Not sure if I'm upto the Name Change!!! lol.
Brooks, enjoy every mile safely and in the best of health, My Friend!!
Really appreciate the cockpit view onto the road as you drive, not enough ytbers do that.. Would have loved to see you get on it more tho!
Excellent video man!
thx, I just got my Z06 and am figuring it all out.
Don’t put it into a hedge! 😅 read the manual.
Lucky man. Our ZO6 will be a 2024 model. Late August 2024 (I hope).
Look into the Valvetronic exhaust system upgrade. The sound is amazing...
Love how you got the matching shoes
Great video Brooks.
Great car man, thanks for sharing. This thing is an absolute weapon on the track, nice to see it seems to be pretty pleasant for cruising as well
Saving this video for the day I’m able to afford one.
Love the zo6 you have, looks so beautiful
Hey Brooks! Just a couple of notes on your great video. PTM stands for Performance Traction Management. Basically different levels of traction control intervention. Also, you can also get into Launch Control by double tapping the TC button in Sport Mode (Competitive Mode) or Track Mode (Brings up full PTM options). Great video and can't wait for more Z06 content as an owner myself!
Thanks! So you have to have PTM all the way to the right to launch in any mode?
@@DragTimes Nope! So if you double tap TC in Sport Mode, it will bring up Competitive mode. Thats a different version of PTM with no options but allows for Launch Control. I prefer to launch in this set up as it softens up the rear suspension a bit. If you are in track mode and double tap TC (or hit Z twice like you did) you enter PTM mode which has 5 levels of traction management inside track mode. Launch control works in all 5 of these PTM modes.
@@bluebomber697that’s preposterous! Why did Chevy make it so difficult? Just do it like Porsche… any mode, hard press on the brake, launch mode activated, say goodnight Z06. 😂
@@TML34 Difficult? You have to double tap the TC button that’s it. That’s pretty simple lol. Also, this dusts any Porsche that isn’t a Turbo/GT2RS lol. Not exactly a surprise losing to those two cars.
@@bluebomber697 maybe not difficult, but just unnecessary complication with the PTM options. The Chevy sales guys don’t know all the things you stated! Lol
that cold start really is close to a 458
I mean GM did invent the flat plane crank engine.
now thats the sound you want!
Brooks we have to do something with this youtube algorithm.. Your videos should be seeing way more views! Great stuff 💪🏼
Brooks your Z06 is GORGOUS !!!!
thanks!
The ZR1 model is going to be nuts
Beautiful car and spec.👍💪😍
Thank you for covering all the features but, I think you left out the PDR can be set to turn on automatically when the car is started, and it has a valet mode. Failed to mention nice video.
I know it's not a use case for everyone but I'm glad Chevy allows you to connect two phones fully through Bluetooth. Love that the system is also smart enough to do seamless switching between both devices whether it's me getting a call or playing music.
That's actually a use case for me and i like those features. Fantastic in my opinion.
Great Video Brooks
Great video
Just got ours in red mist. We’ve named it the Red Dragon. Wanna race? 😂🤣😂. Nice video…agree with other guy to slow down a bit. You have some great nuggets of info in here. We’re still learning about ours. Your video helped with a few new bits of info. My hubby LOVES his new toy.
Just picked the same spec today with my dad holy hell it’s a beast
Brooks great video!! Thorough review while being entertaining. Would love to know how you compare the ZO6 to your other cars.
Beautiful body color!
Cool video. Jammin that ice cube I see. I have a c8 with the z51 package. Black with red interior.
Ice Cube Today was a good day is a great song to ride around in a C8 Z06 in 😎😎😎😎
I learned more about the car watching your video that I did at the dealership
that stealth mode is a must on subdivisions specially here in thailand
Great video!
Thanks!
Mr Brooks. a true Car Guys Car Guy.
Great spec! My C8 looked exactly like this. Sold it now waiting for my Z06 order. Only thing you should have gotten the clear engine cover and painted the engine cover yellow. Would have been perfect...
The area you are in is beautiful
Congratulations on the high rating of 1204👍
The automatic c6 corvette paddle shifters are like the McLaren upshift and down shift on each paddle on each side. I wonder why they didn't do that with the c8?
A lot of big brother in this car.
Now imagine how bad a Tesla is
what does that mean?
Wtf?
That car beautiful you so lucky
It was a good day 😊
Shoes to match the car…. I like this dude.
Hello sir great videos as always. Quick question is Alcantara still an option on the 2024 ZO6
Brooks you need a front splitter and the bigger side skirts ASAP!! 😳😂😂🤷🏽♂️
The best sounding vette was wild but it is a beautiful car
Dragy is accurate. Built in timer is not. Everyone likes to post built in timer results but almost no one posts stock C8 Corvette times on Dragy. There is a good reason why that is.😉
I’ve posted up dragy results publicly on my C8Z from the street. 10.8 @130 on the street consistently, 7.7 60-130. Ran consistent 10.7’s at the dragstrip but dragy wiped all my data from the track day before I could even look at it properly. Stupid app was having major problems.
@@bluebomber697 Dragy definitely had problems before. I think they fixed it this weekend. At least it is working for me now. I bet your built in timer says the car is a lot quicker than Dragy, right?
@@LearningFast I didn’t even use the built in timer tbh. I know for a fact it’s quite inaccurate so I didn’t even bother with it. I fully agree though, built in timer typically reports faster times than real life.
Plese tell us you are kidding right. RUclips is your friend.
This almost seems like an instructional video for your friends who you're probably gonna rent your cabin to, with the C8 as part of the package deal😂
Corvettes went from a sports car to a full on supercar, beating huracans and Ferraris
Huracan is a 10 years old platform. And this thing for sure doesn't beat an F8 Tributo, except in a rigged race of course.
@@artansadiki3244 10 year old platform, the Corvette was never meant to be as fast as supercars and I know the c8 only beats the f8 from a dig not from a roll, but it beats the huracan from a roll aswell, and that's amazing considering the cars is way cheaper then most supercars, your getting more for your buck. And either if the huracan is a ten year old platform it still improved over the years
@@artansadiki3244 It’s a faster track car than the F8 Tributo. And in a drag race, only loses marginally on the top end. And the Huracan being old isn’t Corvette’s problem lol. The Z06 is the better car.
@@artansadiki3244 corvettes have always been labeled supercar killers. now it is a supercar that kills supercars. GM and Ford will always build faster cars, they started the automotive industry and make the affordable cars.
@@bluebomber697exactly that means lamborghini has had a decade to perfect the huracan.
This is the ultimate car from Corvette. It's a shame that Chevy corporate didn't rein in the unscrupulous dealers.
Lucky for me I found Leach Wilson Chevrolet in Shelbyville IL. they are selling their corvettes at MSRP. Yes, even the mighty Z06 is at MSRP. I've been dealing with Aaron, but everyone at the dealership is just fantastic. Chevy should reward these dealers by providing them more cars, as they could sell them and make Chevy corporate look like they want buyers to have the cars.
I did have conversations with other dealers and one wanted to sell me a used Z06 for 218K. Golf Mill was the worst and the person I talked to was the most arrogant. I would never go back there.
@DragTimes
Chevy finish work on this Z06, but on the seats, i think it should be optional electronic or manual controlled racing seats.
If the weight saving is substantial it sure makes sense especially w/ the track version.
They should make a full track version with a carbon fiber monocoque
Brooke's slumming it in a Z06. 👍
I have owned 18 Corvettes in my life since 1969 returning from Nam
I have kept my 2019 ZO6, with 3,330 miles after the Dealership was asking an insane $90,000 difference for a new C8 ZO6, just took $46,000 to Hennessey and now with 1,050 hp I outrun even the 2019 ZR1 thats even fadter than the C8 ZO6. Believe me NOTHING BETTER OR FASTER! Look into this route for a much better looking and faster than this Video 😊
Best Color Combo spec... But I'm biased... LOL
Ayo that’s Johns Porsche :)
Brooks shoes are the best
Can you also set the PDR as an automatic record constant dash camera? Great video thanks great car
There is an auto record option
Yes. Car still has valet mode as well.
OK, B . I'm old and tired of watching 35min of hype / production. You're review of the Z06 covered the next 7 hrs of time I now get back by not watching over produced, assumed prediction. Again, I don't comment. Did I win? The amount of time writing this with appreciation for you just being real should be an testament to you. You are like most of us on screen. Thanks for all the extra time you allow. See you in Bradenton when kids are self sufficient........
Maybe when the Plaid is Plaid ++++. Kids done with education.
I dont have Vette :( but i really want it :( hope 1 day I will have much money to buy it , go to USA etc :)
Which do you like better overall, this or the Tecnica? I own a Z06 currently and my dealer is trying to get me into a Tecnica
We definitely do have some great roads here in Tennessee. I live about 30 minutes from where you got on the parkway. It’s plenty of other fun roads if you explore around a little bit more. Also, I’ll gladly come drive your car while you’re not in Tennessee 😂
I watch Everything Autos from around Gatlinburg & some of them MT roads are only good for one vehicle. I'd be uncomfortable driving a nice vehicle around what I see there.
@@richardmorris7063 there’s so many good roads that aren’t necessarily in the mountains though. Most of the roads in the mountains are boring because of all the traffic.
👍
Flat-cranks sounds like a couple of four cylinder engines at the exact same rpm.
They got to fiddle with the header-lengths to make it sound like a V8, but then it will loose some power...
Amazing car. Truly it is amazing all you get for the money. Even more features than other much more expensive Supercars. This is truly an excellent Supercar now above others.
wants to save weight but he bought a convertible lol
exactly, even more reason to save weight....
Nice to see you parking like a true Corvette owner! 😊 Love the Z06! How do you like it compared to your McLarens?
Can you please rate this against your technica? I'd love to know your opinion of a comparison 😊
we have a race coming very soon between the two...
Brooks, ask your neighbours when they leave for an hour and use that exhaust as a leafblower. Don’t forget to setup a camera…. Warn headphone users….
indeed, I had thought about that.... :)
Great video. One suggestion: slow down, take your time, give people time to absorb what you’re saying before moving from topic to topic. We have the time.
where are you ? smokey mountains ? looks familiar !!
yep....
Drag race with the new Ludicrous Model 3, after it ships of course. Horsepower sounds very close to the Z06.
I’m about to pick up my 2024 Z06, at MSRP, you have owned many super cars is this new Z06 close to any of your previous supercars?
You got it for $105k? How did you do that? The dealer markups are in sane.
@@samspade8830 I paid MSRP Not $105, my msrp is like $136k. I had my deposit for almost 3years. My dealership has always been MSRP no mark ups.
@@samspade8830 plenty of dealers selling at MSRP.
Yea, it destroyed a Huracan and and an f8 from a dig
It’s a better performance car than most entry level supercars such as the Huracan, R8, 570S. Interior is on par with those as well (better than 570S), not to mention much more reliable and easier to maintain.
How much is the monthly payment👴
Ford gt still my favorite of your cars
Ford GT is just a beautiful design however, the basic interior (first released version) with no AC makes you scratch your head.
Is that exhaust standard ?
yes, as the car came from the factory.
I dont think you need an exhaust for that car. Sounds so good from the factory!
Best spec! Corvette engineers really did an amazing job. As much hype the Z06 got, I think its underrated. I would bet Brooks agrees.
I wish the c8 corvette had a bit bigger info screen. Too much black bezels
I've yet to see one in UK. But it looks good on the screen. Nice spec.
Instruction unclear, can't get pass Step 1...
Badass
Porsche, Lambo,Ferrari, McLaren yes great cars put some RESPECT on GM's name!
I don't think respect is needed Kawzx. The Stingray started in 1953 and is the longest running sports car brand in history. Number two behind Corvette is Porsche. Porsche with the 911 started around 1963.
Don't get the On Star. GM sells your driving habbits to insurance companies. National Corvette Museum Insurance does not do this.
A supercar in all but the price. 😎👍
C7 Z06 please. The C8 is a computer with 670hp.
Needs boost
This is my first Z after a few base Z51 C6 and C7’s. I pick it up next week. I am a bit nervous with this much power, and keeping it under control as I learn how to drive it.
It’s actually safer to drive than the C7’s you are used to probably. Low torque, not like a C7Z, big wide tires and practically unlimited grip thanks to mid-engine. It’s very confidence inspiring.
