😂..... they already have that. Literally every one on the market are 100k over. They list it for whatever b.s price, but when you can in....... it's 100k over.
I've seen these tested on the Nürburgring here in Germany quite a while ago and with cameo. Too bad they cost almost double the Price here in Europe than what they cost in the USA. That said, the sound of the V8 is spectacular, it sounds more like an Italian V8 from a Ferrari than the typical deep growling Muscle Car V8 you're used to from American Cars. And i think it fits the Car much better than the normal deep rumbling V8. Glad to see the USA in general building more Supercars, now i hope also that Dodge brings the Viper back. Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
It sounds decent, but just like the Mustang V8, sounds like it's running on gravel at higher rpm. It just doesn't have the silky smoothness of the Ferrari V8's.
Yes because they bought 3 Ferraris when they developed this Corvette. They styled it to make people wonder ifits a Ferrari from a distance. And they tried to make it sound like one. The engine in the back, the Italian suspension, all the tech. Corvette has always copied Ferrari, but now they are openly bragging about it. And yeah I have seen the Corvette on the Ring many times. But if they had managed to set some good lap time in testing, they would have launched the car with a Nurburgring lap time. They are not doing that, which means the car did not do great on the Ring. And also this new engine is a flat-plane crank like a Ferrari. There is almost no American heritage or brand identity left... Which is what I do. People often pay me good money to say these things.
I think Corvette has been a legit option ever since C5 came out - but only the cheaper variants really. This model is priced like a 911, is maybe a bit too much, 100-150k is no "mainstream sporty car" pricetag... But yes, this version really is nice, and basic models are priced around the same as Porsche Boxter or BMW M-models. For that price, Corvette is the (only) "entry level exotic car" option. Is best US sports car for sure!
When launching the zo6 you have to dial Up or down the amount of clutch slip the computer allows. It sounds like in the video they have it on the higher setting . Dial it down and it will lock up harder
@@CallMeByMyMatingName um yes? Brutal means it is really really good. Dont know how it sounds in rl and i doubt i will have a chance to hear it but from video it sounds awesome
That C8 looks great in orange I must admit same with that engine sound. Very much the American V8 way, 670hp as well from a smaller engine! Looking forward to seeing this in a drag race in the near future.
@TobiasOliveira685übertreib halt, you know that this car is N/A and just can't deliver that boost in the rev range others, like the 911 turbo S can, do U?
The wheel and tire issue is with the optional carbon fiber wheels. They were getting damaged so most dealers stopped dealing g with them. Dealers had to buy a special attachment or some even had to buy a new machine all together. The carbon fiber wheels are the only ones they are charging more for.
I'm happy this car was featured on the channel ,they did great with it ,sounds so good and looks gorgeous ,many said they'd love to own it .Usually I don't give a damn but I followed Jesse on ig ,he's a nascar driver ,awesome dude .
perhaps at least part of the reason the 0 to 60 was disappointing had to do with Jesse certainly has the track settings dialed in which is -2 degrees of camber in the rear, and while that helps cornering it also definitely hinders straight line acceleration.
It didn't look like traction was the problem Matt. It felt like the car was hanging in low revs for a second or more before really getting going on every run. I'd be interested in seeing someone get 2.6 seconds . Thanks for the review as always.
Yeah sounded to me like it needed at least 1000 rpm more on the launch, was well down in the revs. Clutch engage time also sounded quite long. My guess is the claimed time was done with revised s/w.
@@jessicadion6109 ruclips.net/video/3LsYzgKwx68/видео.html Bro they almost ran down mount everest lmao. That is not a legit way to measure acceleration. Also they only displayed numbers god knows if they are even right instead of showing a draggy or some sort of gps acceleration meter device.
I am in no way saying the C8 Z06 is a crappy car, but I have always thought it looked a bit "slow" compared to its spreadsheet of specs. This video proves me right...
In my personal opinion that's got to be one of the best sounding engines of all time! Not sure about the rear of the car though, and with how fast it is it's likely the only side I'll end up seeing..😂
No. Hear the engine reving and shifting, just no way near 2.6. With the quick boost help from e motors, E ray might be able to achieve the claimed time.
Pretty sure the big thing hindering his 0-60 is the fact that the offset was changed, and then he has run flats as well which have a hard sidewall, making it more difficult to launch.
Mat seems to launch the cars pretty damn well. I would love to see that Z06 on a prepped surface and see if it could get any closer to its claimed 0-60mph time.
With that being said, that was a very poor surface to try and launch on. There's been many videos launching much harder, and quicker than this, not on prepped surfaces. That road looked very dusty, being in the desert. Not a great place, for sure.

Thrilled when I heard Jesse's name, cool dude with skills... It pretty cool to know if I pull up to a C8 Z06 at a stoplight, my G80CX will take it off the line. I tried getting the Z06 before my M3 but with GM dealers playing games, having a family, and a new house I settled for the G80 which I do love. With that said, I'd trade my G80CX in a second for that Z06... Great video as usual CarWow...
Im in Ohio, and before this was released, one was being tested by a local dealership in this color, and I got on the freeway and this car zipped past me so fast and was out of view in about 5 seconds...and I was going 80 mph...it was incredible to watch it disappear before you knew it. And Matt, watch yourself...youre doing illegal double yellow line passes on the highway.Only pass on dotted yellow lines on your side of the double lines.

Thanks @carwow for having @jesse_iwuji featured on the your channel. Jesse is a great brand ambassador and all around awesome guy that is a real racecar driver. Awesome job, keep up the great work!!
I'd be curious to know the mileage on the car? I'm pretty sure we did this with the base C8 where Matt tried to launch one but it wasnt out of the engine break in period yet.
I got on a list with my dealer for the Z06 and ended up around #33, then they dropped it on my that after getting their first one in, they were only getting 1 per year. So now I’m on a list to get a ZR1, which I’m #3 for :)
I have a C8 and I am able to remove the roof by myself very quickly and get it in place no issue. Also there are a large number of dealerships in the us that sell them a MSRP.
Thank you for having me on the show and using my C8 Z06! It was a fun day!!

The Corvette is the greatest American supercar of all time. Best heritage, best engines ever produced, and the best V8 sounding engine of all time.
It reaches 0-60 in 3.6. I think the car was not 0-60, it was 5-60 in 2.6
No there is one mode where it can measure your 0-60 time and it gives you best power ratio
Yeah.... but let's be real, even if it was 5 to 60 measurement, it's a full second off pace.....
has bigger aftermarket wheels which probably affected grip and weight. also could be a slippery surface.
@danca444 the on-board measurement is highly inaccurate cause it's not gps
I'm starting to think now that the 0-60 times of these american sports cars are measured without roll-out, which is why the Demon 170 got 1.66 sec

Question - wouldn’t the car be faster from 0-60 if it had the roof on ?
I was thinking the same thing
Not that much dif. More than 1 sec. Over 2,6 sec. Never ever.
0-60 not really, but if you are at higher speeds, then it might come into consideration
No. Hear the engine reving and shifting, just no way near 2.6. With the quick boost help from e motors, E ray might be able to achieve the claimed time.
Pretty sure the big thing hindering his 0-60 is the fact that the offset was changed, and then he has run flats as well which have a hard sidewall, making it more difficult to launch.
Wouldn't the 0-60 time be quicker with the roof on?
Mat seems to launch the cars pretty damn well. I would love to see that Z06 on a prepped surface and see if it could get any closer to its claimed 0-60mph time.
Prepped surface is a glued bitumen surface. A bullsheet unrealistic surface.
With that being said, that was a very poor surface to try and launch on. There's been many videos launching much harder, and quicker than this, not on prepped surfaces. That road looked very dusty, being in the desert. Not a great place, for sure.

I usually love having the z06 having the wing, I hated it when I found out, but now that I think about it, it’s pretty clean
Thrilled when I heard Jesse's name, cool dude with skills... It pretty cool to know if I pull up to a C8 Z06 at a stoplight, my G80CX will take it off the line. I tried getting the Z06 before my M3 but with GM dealers playing games, having a family, and a new house I settled for the G80 which I do love. With that said, I'd trade my G80CX in a second for that Z06... Great video as usual CarWow...
Mat you are doing a great job you deserve a promotion ❤
He deserved notice.
Yes, promote yourself Matt. 😂😂
Im in Ohio, and before this was released, one was being tested by a local dealership in this color, and I got on the freeway and this car zipped past me so fast and was out of view in about 5 seconds...and I was going 80 mph...it was incredible to watch it disappear before you knew it. And Matt, watch yourself...youre doing illegal double yellow line passes on the highway.Only pass on dotted yellow lines on your side of the double lines.
In Tampa Bay also.
Oh shut up
When a German manufacturer says 2.6 s, it's actually 1.9 s.
Same especially bmw. If 160hp actually it's 200hp++
And when usa say 2.6 they mean 3.6
@TobiasOliveira685Stop with all the bs! The US is literally the most powerful country in the world and almost everything you're using has come from the US, including this YT and your iPhone (most likely you're holding). 🤣 And remember WW2? 😏 😂
They also start to fall to bits as soon as the warranty expires
You're lucky Germany surrendered in May 1945; otherwise it would have eaten a few atomic bombs too. 😂
Matt. You are showing what the beautiful west coast is about 😍. I love traveling that way
Thanks @carwow for having @jesse_iwuji featured on the your channel. Jesse is a great brand ambassador and all around awesome guy that is a real racecar driver. Awesome job, keep up the great work!!
For the price and performance, this is the Car of the decade. Just wish it was available globally.
I'd be curious to know the mileage on the car? I'm pretty sure we did this with the base C8 where Matt tried to launch one but it wasnt out of the engine break in period yet.
"Ferrari killer" is a wild statement 💀
It's really not that hard to remove the roof by yourself, I've never had issues with it myself
@AlexanderChristopher-qg4kl🤢
I was laughing when they took the roof off. A one person procedure turned into a three person production! Hahahaha @@ant8834
yeah those custom wheels look absolutely mint
Agreed the ForgedLite wheels look amazing!
0:49 overseas VC❤ not only great car but also great watch
I got on a list with my dealer for the Z06 and ended up around #33, then they dropped it on my that after getting their first one in, they were only getting 1 per year. So now I’m on a list to get a ZR1, which I’m #3 for :)
Heck yea even better! Congrats! All the Z06 people are going to be sad when they start seeing ZR1’s being delivered.
@@James_Edward59the C8 ZR1 Corvette may have 1000bhp.
@@James_Edward59ZR1 won’t be NA tho, so Z06 would still be my choice
How was this monkey owner ever a nascar driver. He can barely drive😂😂
@@purwantiallan5089 the zr1 will have over 800hp. the zora will have 1000
would the 0-60 time be different if the roof was on?
SO much better looking than the standard car! And I'm guessing... fat chance we'll get it in RHD.
Why not, I saw someone drive this in Thailand with RHD
@@ahha6304 Not the Z06. Just the standard C8.
Those wide archs make this look soooo much better than the standard C8, hope they bring it to the UK (and i win the lottery 😅)
That is probably the best car America ever made.
DragTimes got 2.7/2.9 seconds to 60, you can play with launch rpm(which was too low here) and clutch slip.
They use 1 foot Rollout. That's pretty much irrelevant.
@@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel Yeah might be that, it would still help a bit tho.
Yeah that ain’t saving a second. When it’s a roll out isn’t even worth mentioning.
@@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel why even measure a 0-60 with a roll out, because then it’s not even a 0-60 😂
@@Lucas-m11 don't ask me, ask US folks. They love dat shit😂
Should have used the double paddle trick for launching it 😄
I don’t like the base c8 but this Z06 looks really good I love it
I have the same opinion. The standard C8 is ugly. This on the other hand looks awesome.
I've seen Jesse in a few vids now, seems a good sport and a good laugh.
I have a C8 and I am able to remove the roof by myself very quickly and get it in place no issue. Also there are a large number of dealerships in the us that sell them a MSRP.
