I've been considering a C7 Z06. I currently own a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V with a cold air intake. The supercharger on my LSA engine make a lot of supercharger whine. I love it. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! And yes, the higher mileage ones are staring to come down a bit to some decent pricing.. but low mileage manual transmission versions are still up there.
I just watched your video on the fox body too. Now your Z06 and you have two absolutely badass ride's!! The parking situation with idiots having the entire parking lot to choose from and it never fails a suv will park right next to me!! Florida, Arizona? Same driver's lol!! Again two awesome car's you have!!!
Awesome car!! Looked like a truck stop you did your sound check at...theyre there to sleep. Situational awareness man.. Love your car and I'm a follower.
I have many truck driver buddies and totally checked it out to make sure that was not the case. But I really appreciate the awareness of that. Thank you brother! Much respect!
11:08 well if she said that, my guess is she also cares about her SUV just as much as your car, so parking next to you, she doesn’t have to worry about her car getting hit either etc
Beautiful car. I wish I had bought one before The Great Money Grab. I totally agree with the sound; it sounds great like no other car on the market sans the ZL1 and they don't even sound the same. Truth be told, the ZL1 sounds a little better if they are both in stock trim.
I have a heavily modified z06 at 830 wheel. If you have e85 near you that's going to give you solid power and the engine loves it. If you pulley down be sure to swap out the heat exhanger to control the heat. If you want more whine look into the DSX lid. If you do any of the above you'll want to put toyo r888r on the rear if you want to hook.
@@adamrileycarchannel the addiction is real LOL started with an intake in a tune. Then a griptec 2.3 pulley and a heat exchanger. Then put the Toyo r888r which is honestly like adding horsepower because they hook so well. Then still wanted more power so did Frankenstein ported heads, 2-inch headers and a Brian Tooley stage 2 cam with flex fuel. Then one day a little bit more power so ported the blower, and a bigger intake and a 103 throttle body. Next would be a Maggie 2650 but I would need to go port injection for fueling. The horsepower gets much more expensive as you start maxing things out
Nice cars or newly painted cars are magnets 🧲 for bungholes. I had 2 cars newly painted. In less than 1 month 1 was a hit n run side swiped by bunghole. Number 2 car was totaled by drag racing bungoles in the same month. Haven't painted shyt since.
Have this exact car only thing mine is also a manual 1LZ 2019 but has all the 3LZ spoilers and yes interior which is strange...I bought it new but didn't order the car it was one someone special ordered with these options then backed out of the deal so I picked it up as I wanted the last of the manuals...I will be doing some mild mods much like you have so going to follow your progress and see how you fair out...I do like the sound so may go with that X pipe I just don't want it obnoxiously loud...Thanks for the video just one thing while making a vid close your window it's tough hearing you at times...Don't you have a back up camera in yours ?...I use mine always and it makes backing up anywhere so easy.
Thanks! And Yes, the double helix x pipe definitely opens it up - I do have a back up camera, but still hard to see the sides. Oh will def keep the windows closed more on the next videos. For the car reviews I do on other medias, I use wireless audio. But I just want to keep these videos more raw… plus I wanted to hear the exhaust! Hahha!😂
@@adamrileycarchannel lol...I hear ya love the sound for sure also...I see you lowered yours and may do it to mine but like you don't like it real low I find the way you have it the stance is perfect...did you go 26 1/2 inch on all 4 corners ?...thanks for your info in advance glad you made these vids.
Where are you located? Looks like Fla? I’m in SW Fla Cape Coral. I love the C7 Z06 platform. I love them so much I have had 8 of them. Waiting for my allocation for the C8 Z06. Nice looking ride.
@@adamrileycarchannel I'm almost certain the cameras front/rear & the tilting mirrors were part of the 2LT pkg. Without them, you have no idea where the front/rear of the car happen to be. The car looks & sounds great.
Hi, I think they’re going to maintain their value very well. Especially if the mileage is low and is a manual transmission. Plus, The C7 was the last of the front engine Corvettes, and technologically, the C7 was the “pinnacle” of the front engine platform. Lastly, I have met many C8 owners, that state they wish had not sold their C7 and had that car back.
@@adamrileycarchannel that’s kinda where I’m stuck. I personally like the C7 ZO6 over the new ones. I just don’t know where the value will go on them so it scares me to drop 75 k on one lol
No, the gear indicator is blank in neutral. Also in don’t believe the Corsa Double Helix is available anymore, but Extreme corvettes online makes one that is 100% identical.

@@adamrileycarchannel Ok, cool. As a Vette/Buick(GN) nut I love their mods/knowledge on the Vette platform. Look forward tome more of your videos! Take care!
Yes, there is! Just seeing out the sides is nearly impossible. BUT, I was just informed there is a setting to active automative side mirrors. (what the heck?). Apparently it's a hidden setting, located in some random sub setting.
Thanks brother! Also i have a c7 grandsport with magnetic ride is this the same way i would lower it? And how is the reliabilityon the z06? im thinking of trading in the GS
Hi, yes. Lowering would be the same process. And the reliability on the Z06 is amazing. No complaints here or from those I know who own them. It’s worth the horsepower upgrade. 😉
Oh boy!! You must have experience with these cars! hahahah Yes, the heat soak on Prior '17 models, and 17+ with autos are an issue. The Manual 17+ models not soo much.
That’s why I a 3LT that the mirrors come down and plus I have the backup camera and front. Beautiful car and sounds awesome 👏🏿
Thank you! And yes, I didn't realize that was one of the differences of a 3LT :(
We live and learn, still a awesome car sounds great.

You gotta love the whine!! Thanks -- and happy motoring!
Nice video ! I’ve seen some nice c7 z06’s starting in the mid 60k range with decent mileage. Definitely a steal right now

Late Model Racecraft wants 42k for 250hp on a C6 GS!!! Thanks for this video!!
No problem! And that sounds pretty nuts for the price. 😳
They wanted 24k to upgrade my C7 Grandsport to make Z06 power. I just went and traded it in for a Z06 instead
11:08 well if she said that, my guess is she also cares about her SUV just as much as your car, so parking next to you, she doesn’t have to worry about her car getting hit either etc
I would have to agree. Thanks for the comment!
I bought my 2015 manual for 67k with 20k miles. Love it
Great to hear!!
you can adjust the mirrors to turn down when you're backing up in the settings on the radio
Hi! Apparently my level of model does not offer that feature. Unfortunately found out about this after I made the video. :(

Bro i own a grand sport and that parking away from everyone shit is so true happens to me all the time 😂😂
Hahaha. True story!! 😂
Hey great looking car! You also did a great job making this video!
Thank you! Really appreciate it!!
You need to get the blower ported then you'll here the sound your looking for along with more ponies!
I have been told that. Think that has to be next in the list!! Thanks!!
Beautiful car , I own a stingray on my way to a ZO6
Thank you! And very cool - you'll enjoy it!
I wish mine sounded like that but with the LTH im scared of swapping the X pipe for the dual helix
Thank you, and yeah. I don’t know how much difference that would make with your long tubes.
There is a back up option for reverse tilting mirrors in your settings
Actually yes, on some models. But not mine. I believe it may have been a special order "Convenience package" option.

Carbon flash is cheaper and looks way better than carbon fiber …
This car looks better than any c8 period !!
Hi, yes sometimes the carbon fiber is great, but definitely like the carbon flash look. And thank you, yes C7’s are a pinnacle design for Corvette!
They do tilt she probably didn’t change in the settin mines does it every time not sure it maybe a feature u dont have
Apparently it’s an added “convinience” feature
Where are you located? Looks like Fla? I’m in SW Fla Cape Coral. I love the C7 Z06 platform. I love them so much I have had 8 of them. Waiting for my allocation for the C8 Z06. Nice looking ride.
You have eight? Oh wow! That's awesome. I need to up my game. hahah. And yes, in the Sarasota area.
@@adamrileycarchannel No I have owned 8 different C7 Z06s. I would trade it sell one for something else and comeback for another one.
I installed a new stereo with a backup camera.
I have a back up camera, that is standard, seeing out the sides are the difficulty
I did the paint correction and ceramic coating.but let me stop by this dumpy car wash and rub some sand around on the paint. 😂
LOL. I never touched the car during the wash. It has a sprayer
A video about a corvette, but has the camera pointed on him the whole time.
I have a 16 2LT Stingray. The side mirrors dip when I put it in reverse.
Unfortunately mine does not. SO for any one reading this... it must be a special order option, or not on the 1LT's.
@@adamrileycarchannel I'm almost certain the cameras front/rear & the tilting mirrors were part of the 2LT pkg. Without them, you have no idea where the front/rear of the car happen to be. The car looks & sounds great.
@@longrider50 You're right. I have a 1LZ package. :( So yes, I have no idea where my car is. LOL!!!! But thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated!
Do you expect the c7 zo6 to hold its value or go down after the c8?
Hi, I think they’re going to maintain their value very well. Especially if the mileage is low and is a manual transmission. Plus, The C7 was the last of the front engine Corvettes, and technologically, the C7 was the “pinnacle” of the front engine platform.

Great Z. Stupid question. Does the trans read "N" when you have it in neutral or only when in gear? Also, any idea if you can still get that x pipe?
No, the gear indicator is blank in neutral. Also in don’t believe the Corsa Double Helix is available anymore, but Extreme corvettes online makes one that is 100% identical.

800 hp wit the lower pulley?
Oh yes, very close for those numbers at the crank … of course with upgraded exhaust, CAI, Pulley and some good tuning!
Grab you a Maggie 2650 and it will rip
Future mods list! :D
I guess I’m in the right place. I have the same 1LZ black 19 Z. It desperately needs a paint correction too.
Dang! Bring it on down. Riley Brothers Hot Rods will make it right 😄
No reverse camera?
