The Japanese have legends like the Supra,Evo,STI, NSX and more. The Europeans have the Italian supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan,Ferrari 488 GTB, and much more. However, in the American corner is the brute force of legends like the Ford GT,Dodge Hellcat, Dodge Demon, and Shelby GT350R. Out of the darkness in it's orange coat of paint is the brand new 2019 Corvette ZR1 - a car that literally melts your face off with it's acceleration and g forces. When it comes to being in depth with Corvettes, they have an incredible history. However this is not like any other Corvette ever made. Let's go on a ride. Thanks for watching!

I think the term “widow maker” still belongs to the first gen Viper, after driving one for the first time last year, holy shit. If you do not respect that car, it will kill you.
Actually it belongs to the first 911 turbo (964 I think) from the late 70s to late 80s cause it killed like a quarter of its drivers lol
@@n55Robthat was definitely the OG widow maker, hence the "American" qualifier
Been working hard my whole life to get a Corvette. I know many don't think of it as a dream car but I have always wanted one since I seen the bright yellow ones in the early 90s when I was around 4 years old. Now I am at the point where I can buy a Z06 or wait a couple more years for a Zr1. But by that time the mid engine corvette will be out lol. My family is mostly a mustang and challenger fan, but the base model of both cars are not rare here. Everyone seems to have one in my area
Buy the mid-engine. You'll be happy you did.
This ZR1 is a dream car and in a manual it is a dream perfected. Sadly you will not see the C8 in a manual so when you get your C7 ZR1 it will be a future classic. Enjoy it!
Don’t worry what other people think, if it’s your dream car that’s all that Matters!! ✊👍👍
Soooo you get it?
what u enbd up getting
Manual wins high school girls? High school girls don't even know a manual transmission is a thing lol

Thanks for watching guys?
What’s your favorite Vette?
the c1 will always be my favorite vette body
ThatDudeinBlue the 1983 one, very best..
C6, but as a kid I wanted a yellow C5 Z06
ThatDudeinBlue 1965, thee only year Corvette that came with a 396. 😊
ThatDudeinBlue ...but then there's always the '70 LT-1. Ahh, so many options.
Once you realize that there will always be someone with a faster car, you understand that the manual transmission is the way to go. There's no way to match it for pure driving enjoyment.
Correct.
Nah auto all the way bud
@@chrisphillips5747 No way. Autos are terrible to drive. Zero passion.
I've commented something similar on other videos about these new super cars that only come with those stupid paddle shifters. You're eliminating so much of the driving involved in driving fast.
@@243wayne1 so with this statement you are saying every Ferrari and Lamborghini after 2011 is terrible to drive with zero passion. Sure... Got it LOL
Made in USA my friends. Rock N Roll....
Magnet for the Po-Po..... Officer, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Me, "Because I let you."
This has to be one of the best Corvettes ever made. The color, performance, sounds, feeling, everything is top notch for Chevy. I saw one once in real life and videos/photos could never do it justice. It definitely rivals the Challenger SRT Demon.
Prius Killer demon is faster from a dig and a roll
Unless that video I saw was rigged (also driver makes a difference)
Demon makes 100 hp more which is enough to be very noticeable.
Sparkle Dust yeah the demon beats it in a straight line, but it's got 100 more hp and has drag slicks. you can't compare the zr1, a track car, to the demon, a drag car.
Not really a competitor to the demon, this is more of a competitor to cars like the AMG GT-R and such. This is a sports car, not a muscle car like the demon.
What I meant by comparing the ZR1 to the Demon is what they did in their respective fields. The ZR1 is a supercar slayer in terms of value while the Demon is the ultimate production drag machine. It's not like anyone is taking the Demon on a track day or the ZR1 out to the local drag strip. I could see how the misinterpretation occurred and I should have clarified more. But still, we can all agree the ZR1 is an insane and unexpected car from Chevrolet and is one of the best Corvettes we have seen since the C2.
I had no idea this car was even a thing, but it's so cool and probably my favorite corvette of all time. I've always been a fan of Vette's but this thing is just crazy.
My Uncle purchased a 1969 LT1 4spd 375 BHP Stingray and it was awesome! That was about 1972.
But this is just a different Universe! Unbelievable!
I had never been in one until I just recently bought one, and, just, wow. I had a C7 Z06 and there is absolutely no comparison. The ZR1 is so much smoother in everything it does than my Z06 was. The one I just bought two months ago was a one owner clean Carfax with 3145 miles and is mint. I will keep this car forever. Sometimes I go out into the garage in the middle of the night just to look at it…and giggle like a school girl. By the way, I bought my C7 Z06 new and had Vengeance do a stage 3 build on it. They do awesome work there. I had 888s on the back of the Z06 because they were necessary after the build. They are louder and not as smooth but damn they are sticky and get the job done. Great video, man!
This is exactly what your channel needed!
Jesus Rivera Zr1 needed it more;)
TheManInBlack Please, ZR1 needs no YT advertisement. They're selling like hot cakes. Don't he foolish now.
MOST H8D just a joke relax
It needs a ford gt
For sure
What an enjoyable review...the reviewer's joy in the car makes you feel like you are there with him. As fantastic as this "ultimate" Vette is, I can't wait to see what the mid-engine ZR1 will be like. We are talking hypercar, I’m sure. I've been loving Vettes since 1959 when I was a kid, and it's amazing to think how far the iconic American car has come.
The ZR1 is amazingly built and Chevy has shown what they're capable of in building. Now let's see how well the mid engine c8 will do when it comes out
That vette would really make me feel 25 again.....oh my.
I owned a "collectors edition" it was a excellent ride. I am surprised I lived thru that part of my life. Drove it like a mad chick.
The new ZR1 is awesome!!❤
I got it, love it and so does anyone who sees this tiger in person. For the money, best value super car in the world.
Mike Cosculluela damn straight Mike!
Are they really a super car tho? Not knocking seriously asking.
@@jp81platow I'd say so, it has the looks, speed, and rarity.
James Tobias if u one of those ppl considering cause it’s not European and not mid engine ur blind asl it’s definitely a American super car
@@darkskinddon Agreed top speed of 215 mph and handling for days it definitely is a bargen
"I'm not even gonna tell you how fast that speedo says..." 🤣
Most amazing car currently being produced!🤩🤩🤩
Hell yeah it is!
Great video i love your enthusiasm. I’ve owned my ZR1 since last November so almost a year now and have loved every minute of it. It’s the high light to my work week to get into her. More refined then my 15 Zo6 and the extra power is 100% usable and after the two day experience they send you to in Nevada you feel like a race car driver it’s truly an awesome experience that Chevrolet does that for its customers.
Yowza... What comment can i make that already has not been said? Chevy coming strong... This is MY DREAM CAR.
I want to see it break the world 24 hour endurance speed record, currently owned by the 1990 ZR-1, wicked ride no doubt. I'm about 30 years behind the times just bought a 1990 ZR-1, they are both badass in their own right. 👍👍🏁
Smiles Per Gallon♿
Leahcim Nameldner most definitely!
It's so nice to see how American cars have evolved. They have made great improvements in handling and aesthetics. The engines were ever strong. The best part is that they now have an automatic gearbox that gives them a great advantage in speeding up faster and writing better times in a quarter of a mile
I’m gonna get a 2019 zr1 just because of that intro
Okay the intro of the video to introduce the car, the awesome B role, and the sick music gave me chills. Awesome editing work David!
Awesome vid bro! Can't wait for you to hit 1mil!
Carlyle thank you man!
or the billion dollar lottery LOL
Your review was great but the total validation of how great that Corvette is in the "Giddiness" and overall crazy amount of happiness you are projecting.
I think the ZR1 is amazing and it's become one of my new dream cars! I have to say though I prefer the look of it with the standard wing personally. The car is just ridiculous and I would give anything to drive one. This is coming from a Mopar guy too.
This video is amazing man I feel like it’s a milestone for you and has shown how much you’ve grown. So proud of what you’ve done with the channel and how you’ve evolved and perfected the format!
Best bang for the buck hands down GM rules
Sure, if you like Death Traps
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson This whole review he talked about how everything was amazing on this car including handling and braking. This coming from a guy who tends to like fords. It is a great car. Fords mustang gt350r hangs with the camaro zl1 but nothing they make hangs with the zr1. And you can not say the gt cause it is not a real car anyone can buy and was insanely expensive. And honestly the zr1 could still probably beat it at the track. And for sure in the 1/4

We all gonna die anyways. Might as well enjoy the process before you go.
Im not a big GM fan but the drive train in them is properly well built. Their automatic transmissions are the best you can get in a factory car. that is indeed a beautiful paint color on it as well

, I'm very happy to see you watching the road while driving and NOT looking at the camera. nice ride.
A manual transmission isn't about impressing anyone. It's not about speed. If you think that I feel sorry for you. Driving a manual is about a stronger connection between man and machine.
Stronger connection? Why are you trying to be poetic about it? Lol
You're right it nvr was about impressing or speed, at first it was the only way they knew how to make a reliable trans. Then it was all about being a cheaper alternative for those who couldn't afford the extra cost of the auto trans option. Now apparently it's all about douchebags trying to inflate themselves by trying to convince everybody that unless you use sub-par equipment your not a real driver.
M M couldn’t said it better I had 2 manual evos then I got a v8 auto felt like a woman lol
I tip my hat to you MM my good Man:P
Lazy clueless possing highway racer kids. Impress girls?? With the transmission of your car??? They are clearly running out of arguments. If you don't appreciate a manual transmission I definitely support you get the automatic... And brake assist, and parking sensors, and hydraulic handbrake, and all the sensors and traction controls available ^^
Ford fan-boy here - and credit where credits due - God DAMN thats beautiful! WOW!
What a gorgeous car. I just love this car
I just installed a LT5 crate in my 70 Chevelle.Cant wait to drive it😎
The sounds the corvette makes while it shifts it one of a kind
It's funny how all the guys that create a bad comment or criticize this car. are usually the guys that can't afford them. I'm so glad I'm not one of them🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Agree
Wish I could afford one. I think it's the best sports car America has ever made. Thanks for the video. It's as close as I'll ever get to driving one.
Best way to end the front engine corvette ❤️ I’m ready for gm to tear apart Europe with the c8
I doubt it will be a rear engine.
Isaiah Wring the next corvette has been confirmed to be mid-engine, it’s going to be unveiled is this July 2019 and should be out at the end of 2019 or early 2020
Isaiah Wring boy were you wrong
Lee Games you were wrong lol
@@IsaiahWring well that aged terribly
What a nice looking car not to mention if it is the last year of the front engine this car is beautiful it's amazing how far they've come with the Corvette interior and the ZR1 the way it shifts and the motor just keeps going amazing I'm sure the car has a top speed of 220 depending on gears who knows
Every time I hear the rpm climbing..the hair on my head ..legs feet arms hands fingers toes STAND 😯
This is the ultimate Corvette.
The front end is absolutely mean and fucking gorgeous, the wheels are fire, and just the side profile everything about this car is amazing!
Automatic might win races, but manual is more fun and enjoyable lol
mexalkid exactly my 04 2v might be slow but there's nothing like a manual v8 😎
Truth
If you think a manual is more fun, you've never been in a fast enough car to need paddles.
EMF Audio I've been in srts that are not slow mustangs and others. Sure they were fun but not as fun as a stick. Nothing beats feeling the gear change in your hand or rev matching and getting nothing but pops and crackles. Sure you can do that with paddle shifters but it's not the same. Plus if you live in the us 90% of people can't steal it haha.
If you drive the kind of things I'm talking about people can't figure out how to open the door LOL. I know where you're coming from, and I hear you, I have manual transmission too, but I'm not shifting a stick in a corner or shifting anywhere near as fast as I am a DCT. However, I don't need to shift those as fast as a DCT because I'm not doing 100 MPH in 5 seconds like I am with the DCT. My E55 AMG has a slow automatic and it's still faster than Hellcat's in a standing half mile so I wouldn't say anything you listed is fast LOL. I'm telling you, driving something truly fast, you have tunnel vision, you aren't thinking about shifting more than a button tap.
Absolutely amazing beast. I think I take the Stingray and cruise and still be fast enough for me. But any version of a Vette C7 is beautiful piece of art, wish they don’t stop making C7s.
I just purchased #2027 loaded orange convertible!
I own 2072
@@alanwoodruff7185cool, what color did you get?
Beautiful C7 Vette ZR1 !
I think it looks better than the new C8 Mid-engine ZR1.
If I ever win the lottery this is the ZR1 I'm buying!
Corvettes are the only new muscle car that I am absolutely infatuated with. The mustangs are actually okay but the vettes are just crazy beautiful and powerful
Lane Browning
Corvettes are Sports Car my dude they were never Muscle Cars, the only Muscle Cars today are the Charger and Challenger and no the Camaro and Mustang aren't Muscle Cars but are Pony Cars and in this modern era are Sports Cars as well.
Samuel Jones Actually the challenger is the only muscle car. Muscle cars have 2 doors not 4 the charger is a sports car.
Karl Hopkins
A Muscle car is a 2+2 with a Massive engine, the original Charger was a Coupe and Saloon and was one of the earliest muscle cars the Hudson Hornet was also a Coupe and Saloon and is also one of the earliest muscle cars, the term Muscle Cars is basically a Big Car with an even bigger engine which both the Challenger and Charger fit.
Lane Browning the demon is a muscle car. This is no muscle car. The mustang and camaro is no muscle car either.
corvettes are not muscle cars. the zr1 also costs $119,000.
When I first learned to drive, in the late 70s . My father made sure my sister & I needed to learn to drive a manual trans . When I bought my 2014 Camaro, I couldn’t believe how tough it was to even find a manual trans !
What's the vengeful part of the car, what did we do to it
Arnav Dhir ha. Funny.......
Its competitor, the dodge viper, was discontinued
Oh my jesus I think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen I am vette lover anyway but this!! Hats off to CHEVROLET they nailed it in my opinion
Funny you uploaded this today, I saw a 2019 ZR1 in this same color today.
I am so excited i finally have a car that is worth keeping clean and detailing. 2019 wrx. Finally able to support your detail company! Will be making a purchase very soon
Wicked looking car. Yeah not really feeling what your friend said about autos win races and manuals impress high school girls. Some of us don't care about winning every race and rather actually drive their car instead of having the car do all the work
jrvbamafan1 you can win races with manual too just don’t granny shift
Blah Blah trust me I know. Every car I've owned over the past 15 years has been a manual, and I've probably won 85% of the races I was in. I was referring to how people think just because autos are so fast now that manuals must be bad or incapable, when they aren't at all.
jrvbamafan1 true
Yeah my car has a manual and it's never had a high school girl in it. Manuals are just more fun. Sounds like the guy who owns the car doesn't know what fun is.
jrvbamafan1 modern autos are better faster keep both hands on the wheel with this hp i would want both hands on the wheel
Great review, TDIB - your enthusiasm is telling... and entertaining.
David is coming up on RUclips again! Keep grinding man!
That Vette
looks absolutely sick in that colour 🔥
I bought a new 2010 Z06 back in Oct 2009.
$ 101,730.81CDN
(with taxes & a few extras like racing pedals, deluxe carpets, car cover, etc)
I had to use my house as colateral to pay the car cash.
Now you tell me close to $ 140,000 USD.
For me that would be $ 186,200 CDN PLUS TAXES
Roughly $ 214,083.45 plus interests on 96 months...
+/- 53000 $
To end up with $ 267,000 CDN all in all.
8 years commited to $ 2,781.25 / month.
At 53 years old, i will NEVER be able to AFFORD one, even a used in 10 years which i would have to pay probably $ 90,000 cash.
Let's stop dreaming and wait a few years so this insane HP may become base model entry HP.
I can always modify mine to 1000 HP, but still it costs close to $ 69,000 CDN which is non-financeable.
Denis, owner of 15 great collectible cars.
Sorry, i'm sad, but really can't afford it.
At some point you have to cut on expenses if you prefer early retirement with less work and less income.
Will it be just a car for the millionnaire, like the supercars ?
You just simply cannot use that as a daily driver, unless you are Prince of Saudi Arabia !
The cost/benefit would be simply way too expensive.
Tag, insurance, maintenance, storage, tickets, etc...
My wish is that regular ordinary people can afford nice cars like we saw on this video.
It's not impossible, you must be ready to do monetary sacrifices on all other aspects of your life.
Eat sandwiches ?
Once you do... The BUYING MOVE, you're commited to your car for the rest of your life.
Can't forfeit the payments, can't sell (you loose big, the first 30 years, anyway), got to sacrifice an interior garage for the next 30 years... And... Fear the police ! (All the time)
It's like a marriage !!!!
You can't divorce, do.
And...
IMPOSSIBLE to respect the speed limits on the highway... 😀
All this sounds like a YOU problem. Not everyone is poor
Got one on assembly line right now! Can’t wait!
Love the new zr1. Still think the front looks like a Pokémon though.

I agree its a little too basic / awkward
The 8 speed trans in these cars are amazing, no lambos here, im gunning for one of these. Yes and super comfortable, Its the only car I want to drive now. We did 1200 miles in one in So Cal.

Grats on 900k Dude, you deserve them all and more!
It's the American supercar it has strived to be. Lower cost, better performance, and competitve looks to many other foreign supercars, all from a middle class American manufacturer. You can't walk into any other supercar dealership and buy a commuter car, or a pick up truck, as well as the supercar. It's heritage is pedestrian, but it will proudly kick some ass while wearing its workboots.
Absolutely love this car. Cant wait to see all the other lap records it is going break while costing far less than the competition. Only wish they wernt going to mid-engine. I'm sure it's going to be a huge price jump and no longer the affordable insane car that it once was.
Congrats on 900k bud and that 1 mil because you know it's coming so I might as well say it now 😁🤣
Ahh yeah the Blue Devil is now a complete track package and it’s out for blood on track 👑👑👑🏁🏁🏁
$150,000 busted my bubble.
yep. especially with the price of the C6 zr1s dropping and the c8 right around the corner you'd be better off buying a c6 zr1 and STILL kicking supercar ass.
!!!! So close to 1,000,000 subs! Brb gonna share this everywhere and help you out! Your content helps keep my love for cars going STRONG 💙
Shift delay is the reason for the smooth shifts, I imagine. The transmission probably responds instantaneously, but instead of slamming the trans into the next position, it feathers into position.
I know dick about transmissions, but that much shift lag in a modern car is stupid so there must be a reason behind it.
Awesome that you got to drive one of these! This car is just crazy looking.
Beautiful beast
Hey, I'd like to ask, with a ZR1 w/750HP RWD, what speed do you need to be going in order to go full throttle? Like, how usable is 750HP RWD? Why not make an AWD Corvette? Tradition?
Amazing car
U are by far the best at testing cars and appreciate all ur reviews.

Best car out there..looks are amazing.. makes porsches look crap..(never been good looking anyway)..lambos ford gt gtrs etc. Performance quality for the money..theres nothing to touch it.ow that V8..wow!!! Corvette ALMS top of the leader board as well..not a brilliant season..but still top..lets hope its 3 years on the run winning the title.
After watching Matt Farrah’s video with giggling from start to finish. I knew this is a very special car, but as much as I’d want one I can’t afford it. After a deployment I’m gonna pick up a c5 due to it being affordable and was my childhood dream car.
I feel like the Corvette ZR1 is really over-styled. Almost like the Civic Type-R
UpperRobin29 it it's too gaudy for my taste. The civic too but hey, it's a civic. Dodge did a great job not overstyling their higher trims challengers. Though it REALLY needs an update.
remytv this stuff isnt really “style”. All this aero is needed and helps. And to me it’s mean 😈
Cameron Kinkade I dont like how chevy made the Camaro and corvetter have similar taillights. I would also never get a c7 just cuz wven the manual card have gay ass paddle shifters
The new front end is actually needed. This car doesn't overheat like the zo6, despite making 105 more horsepower.
jdmnsxr 6 those aren’t paddle shifters in the manual. It’s for the rev match
A very auspicious vehicle. Very Americana! Love it! What a super toy!
I personally don't really like the new front grill, to me it doesn't work well with the shapes and lines if the car
Good to see one with the auto, absolute track monster.
Outside of drag strips autos have onlu been good for the last 10 years.
The transmission looks slow to change, from the time you flicked the paddle to change looked slow ?
People say auto wins races but what about the viper acr that's a manual and will eat most things on a track
Adam Davies track vs straight line is a big difference.
Thats not an apples to apples comparing. You cant compare auto vs manual by simply stating theres a manual car out there that can beat an automatic car. No sht sherlock lol. Fair comparison would be Manual Viper ACR vs Auto Viper ACR (obviously if it existed). Auto would win. Our brains wont beat a computer.
Randy Pobst ran both c7 z06 auto and manual and the auto beat the stick by a over a second which is a lot, and that was the older auto which wasn't even very good compared the auto in the ZR1. He is a pro driver that hold several production car lap records, i believe he set a few of the viper acr records as well so thats a really good indicator that auto's are faster. And don't give me that crap that auto's aren't fun because if you ever drove a 755hp car around a high speed sweeper at 150mph you'd know grabbing a gear is a matter of life and death, at that speed once you commit to a turn you have to follow through, just easing off the gas is enough to cause the weight to transfer off the back wheels and send you into a wall backwards so the possibility messing up a shift is more fun then any driver in a car that fast. Now in 200hp BMW and Honda's yea manual or its boring but not in a 755hp monster
Don't Tread on Me, you are actually wrong. Randy Pobst ran the auto about 3/4 sec SLOWER than the manual at Willow Springs.

Don't Tread On Me o
The only Corvette I want. Damn gorgeous car!
The paddles are so delayed
william Strachan you just need to get use to it a press it early
It’s actually really fast when you consider it’s still a torque converter automatic.
Not a dual clutch.
rvasideways ik it’s a fast transmission. Probably the fastest traditional automatic. But I mean the delay from when you press the paddle to when the car actually shifts
I was just looking to see if anyone else noticed
