Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Also for some reason this car just screamed stranger things to me, so thats where the random Upsidedown easteregg came from!
Gotta give Joe props on the film quality of his videos. Not only are the reviews excellent, but the color grading, music, camera angles, etc. are always so on point!
I would do it lol but I live in Canada lol... But I really love your channel, and I originally subbed because of the outstanding shooting/editing skills. Keep it up, and I'm excited to see those exterior shots yo!!!
I've hit the like button because it is genuine feeling. On the other hand, z06s are notorious for heat soaking so I really would not be comfortable tracking it. If you take it to a track, on avg you get about 4 laps... Then the car goes to limp mode because it has overheated. Customers are actually suing chevy because of this right now. I could find barely used Porsches all day for a brand new z06 price tag, have a great interior with none of the mechanical issues. Hellcat chassis is the same as an 06 chrysler 300 SRT8 which is the same as the 1980s Merc E Class...
I wanna see more of your profession as I’m going to school for computer science and it really interests me, and looking back on your videos, it seems like the most viewed videos you have are about your work
MrOptimisticc i hear you man. I'm 5'5" barefoot. 5'5.5" on a good day. Would love to be 6'5". But hey atleast we'll never have a problem fitting in sports cars.
Thoroughly impressed with your channel Joe......Redline Reviews, Matt Maran Motoring and your channels are the best on RUclips. Keep up the great content!!!
Well done Sir, refreshing honesty and I enjoyed how you have a certain down to earthiness demeanor, not arrogant like of lot of reviewers I see on you tube. Keeping it real, keep up the good work. Definite thumbs up !!!!!!!
Never get tired of hearing an ls/lt engine sing. Just saw from GMs papers the mid engine vette is getting two 32v dohc engines. A 4.2L & 5.5L. It'll be very interesting how capable they will be. Their performance, weights, sizes & if either has force induction for the vette. (The 4.2L is also going into the ct6 & unknown Cadillac "sports car" )
Joe my man! Fantastic review! So glad to see you back doing a review! Best edit guy on the internet! Side note, my 2018 Raptor I ordered 3 months ago just arrived over weekend, it really is nice and IMO is more luxurious than 2017 my C63S AMG.. Great truck!
Man who ever owns that Z06 must not give a shit about their paint because its got an insane amount of micro-scratches. Troy Sowers would shit himself seeing a car like this haha.
That's the beauty of owning a black car you can see EVERYTHING. I take care of my c7 z06 torch red. On camera the paint looks perfect. But unfortunately I do have a few stone chips. You just can't avoid them. 🤷♂️ The car is very low to the ground.
There are bump stops behind the seats to prevent it from rubbing, you can take those out and get another couple inches of room or so. I’m 6’6 and have drove a couple with no issues
I’m a ford owner I own a 13 Shelby let me tell you I will have one of those !!!!!!!!!!! The z06 looks sick it’s fast !!! It’s so stealthy looking what a killer design the c7 is
Thanks for the review Joe. I’m 6’2 200 lbs so Ive been struggling to find a car that’s big, fast, and feels comfortable. At first I was going to go with the hell cat but then changed my mind to the corvette since it’s faster and has a more sleek meaner look to it for the same dollar amounts. So thank you for doing this review it means a lot hearing your honest from a 6’5 car enthusiast.
Just a tip, Joe: if you wanna do widescreen, now's the time to start editing in a 2:1 timeline! With most phones going to a wider aspect ratio, it'll fit flawlessly on there! :)
Looking forward to it! Great review of the car, by the way. Drove one not too long ago, and had similar thoughts on the sub-par interior. Ended up going with a Maxima and saving the larger purchase for next year!
I really enjoyed the review and don't want to argue or challenge anything you said, BUT haha... The majority of people buying these cars don't give a shit about handling for the most part because the car will never see a track with the exception of maybe a drag strip.. The average car guy buys a hellcat because it looks and sounds amazing (at a fairly affordable price 70-80K) and they are faster than 99% of the cars you'll come in contact with in an every day driving situation.
Stumbled on you're videos a while ago...have been watching all the other automotive youtubers also...gotta say other than JWW I'm even getting sick of his shit, I gotta say that you're really enjoyable to watch man..simply just because you just do this for fun on the side and you can tell...sick of getting clickbaited and watching useless shit just cuz they're trying to earn if it...I ride with you man..keep it simple and real...hopefully more people will catch on..no need to force content and make a video every day....pump the vids out when you can/want and we'll keep coming back eeertime
I’m 6’7” & have zero issues with comfort in my C7. Also 265 pounds, because I’m a Slavic big boy - still no issues. OK, it’s not a cross-country car ... won’t try to say otherwise, but I have driven from SF to LA for 6+ hours & it’s no drama. Good video otherwise sir! 👍🏻
Really enjoyed your video. The blower you are showing is not from a 2017 minor point but this is part of the upgrades from the 2016 to the 2017, the supercharger is taller to allow more airflow.
It is definitely the best bang for the buck. Overall, good review. Very honest comments about the Hellcat and the Mustang GT350. I like that you can own GTRs and still appreciate something other than JDM. I've got an STi and Honda S2000, but also a '17 Z06/07 and a '13 Gen V Viper GTS. If it's good...........it's good.......... Subscribed. Cheers.
Great video looking at buying one of these bad boys will be my first car that has serious power and is a serious driver track race car.. still looking at other options but this is getting more and more appealing by the day.. thanks Joe
What mods does it have to be making 50 horsepower over stock? Other than the corsa exhaust which shouldn't make much more than the stock exhaust which is already a performance exhaust.
I can only imagine what the ZR1 will be like. I’m buying the new M5 once it’s available. Wouldn’t mind handing over the keys to Joe just to get a sick video of my car on the channel (and as a keepsake 😇).
Hey joe. I’m in the market for the z06 and the bmw m6 gran coupe. I have seen both of ur videos. I wonder which one is better in ur opinion? I kno they r both great cars. Thanks.
Man be hating on the GT350, I own one and love it. But I completely understand what he is saying, im here cuz I wanna buy a C7 Z06 for a second vehicle 😁
💥🤘🏾💥well done. I JUST got done throwing shade on your rs5 video bc you called corvettes shitty lol. I take it back, @JoeKnowsBest.. turns out... You really do know best.
Yet a nice video - thanks a million. Just something I came to think of ... what are the odds of you doing some Old vs New videos? ... like old Firebird vs new Firebird etc - just to check how they compare to their roots?
Thank you, I love it when facts trump hate. By the way the 2019 Z06 goes from 0-60 in 2.85 seconds not 3.+ which is squarely in the time frame of the McLaren Senna and the Lamborghini Huracán cars costing 3-6 times as much. So unless you solely base your criteria for a car being a Supercar because of price and exclusivity, then the Corvette Z06 and ZR1 are truly Supercars. No they don’t have the interior quality of Lamborghini and no they are not as Rare, but that should not bare them from the title of Supercar. Exotics? No they are not Exotics because they are massed produced and anyone can purchase them. But they are most definitely Supercars and I think an adjustment in Automotive terms should be made, to quantify the difference between cars with Supercar performance (performance far above normal daily drivers Honda Civics, Toyota Camry,) I.E Vettes, 350GT, Hellcat Twins 👯 BMW M series and Exotics Lamborghini Ferrari McLaren
Nice and accurate review (I own a 2016 Z06 (M7).....Best all around performance car for the $ Drag Racing \ street racing with the Dodge Demon or Hellcat (Own a 6 speed till my Demon comes in) is fun!!..... Drag racers don't care if it cant handle like a sports car on the track.
Did u say a gt or a gt350 chassis wasn't set up right. I can understand the gt, but the shelby is built to track and every bit as good as a zo6 for that purpose. The z is just faster in a straight line
Hey brother very good video. I've looked at alot of videos of this car because I planned to buy one this time this year in 2018. I'm curious here this is a 2017 Z-06 correct. I've haven't seen those style of CORVETTE wheels on most so I'm guessing those wheels are special line up from Chevrolet.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Also for some reason this car just screamed stranger things to me, so thats where the random Upsidedown easteregg came from!
How did you do those upside down flakes!?
Joe Knows Best what about the demon?
Joe Knows Best have you sat inside of a masserati?
Joe Knows Best I
Gotta give Joe props on the film quality of his videos. Not only are the reviews excellent, but the color grading, music, camera angles, etc. are always so on point!
Simply Car Things I would like to see more exterior shots tho.
Just need to get a camera man so i can get some more exterior/rolling shots!
I would do it lol but I live in Canada lol... But I really love your channel, and I originally subbed because of the outstanding shooting/editing skills. Keep it up, and I'm excited to see those exterior shots yo!!!
Simply Car Things ikr, I had to steal a couple songs from his videos in mine
Joe Knows Best lol I’d be your camera man but I’m here in South Carolina
“I’m not that tall”........bro, you’re like 9 inches above the national average.
Christian Little lol yeah that was certainly an odd statement.
Dollar for dollar, you just can't go wrong with a Corvette 👍

Dude, hats off for a strait up to the point video without all the BS. Great video...............Subbed! I'd like to see a video on the ZL1.
I wanna see more of your profession as I’m going to school for computer science and it really interests me, and looking back on your videos, it seems like the most viewed videos you have are about your work
Yessss. I’ve been waiting for the Hellcat review for forever!
Im only 6 foot 5
Bruh. Im ONLY 5 foot 5. Imagine the struggles
MrOptimisticc how'd you end up losing your foot?
Same lmao
techmaster777 he meant to say
"I'm only 6 foot 5"
Bruh. I'm 5 foot 5
Imagine the struggle
MrOptimisticc i hear you man. I'm 5'5" barefoot. 5'5.5" on a good day. Would love to be 6'5". But hey atleast we'll never have a problem fitting in sports cars.
drepop803 Only thing I can tell that sucks about being short is not being able to flat foot most motorcycles lol.
Thanks for all the great content man. Really enjoy your channel
Thank you for this Vid my favorite so far how can anyone not like this car.
Thoroughly impressed with your channel Joe......Redline Reviews, Matt Maran Motoring and your channels are the best on RUclips. Keep up the great content!!!
Well done Sir, refreshing honesty and I enjoyed how you have a certain down to earthiness demeanor, not arrogant like of lot of reviewers I see on you tube. Keeping it real, keep up the good work. Definite thumbs up !!!!!!!
When you just got home and there's a new Joe video. Fuck yea
Never get tired of hearing an ls/lt engine sing. Just saw from GMs papers the mid engine vette is getting two 32v dohc engines. A 4.2L & 5.5L. It'll be very interesting how capable they will be.

Seems like a legit superb long-range cruiser,if not an outright GT.
Something serious when he says in the first 20seconds this is the car I’m going to go to jail in… 😂😂 got me wanting one now.
I'm happy with my C7 GS. I love that I can push through the gears a little longer before I could potentially kill myself.
Thank you for this video. I have asked you to make it a while ago. This is my favorite car, really. I am a huge fan of the Corvette.
For the next review can it be one of these cars : Nissan GTR, E63 amg, Panamera Turbo, X5M, Audi R8? Anyways lit review as always 🔥
“Not that tall” “Right around 6ft5”...
The new Zr1 is King 👑💯
Bottom line, I've watched about 49 vids on Z06s ...and I think overall this is the best...just flat out good shit. Thanks dude...nice shades.
There are bump stops behind the seats to prevent it from rubbing, you can take those out and get another couple inches of room or so. I’m 6’6 and have drove a couple with no issues
I’m a ford owner I own a 13 Shelby let me tell you I will have one of those !!!!!!!!!!! The z06 looks sick it’s fast !!! It’s so stealthy looking what a killer design the c7 is
Did you miss a shift at 4:19? Sounds like you went from 2nd to 5th...
Jacob Griesbaum granny shifting not double clutching 😂
75,000 subs good shit homie
Love that it was a manual. Last few corvettes I've seen have been auto
Thanks for the review Joe. I’m 6’2 200 lbs so Ive been struggling to find a car that’s big, fast, and feels comfortable. At first I was going to go with the hell cat but then changed my mind to the corvette since it’s faster and has a more sleek meaner look to it for the same dollar amounts. So thank you for doing this review it means a lot hearing your honest from a 6’5 car enthusiast.
I can vouch that I saw a 6'5 man fit into the C8 zo6 (pre production) comfortably the other day
The paper plate says its a 2015...
Nicolas D yeah I saw that too :/ what’s up with that Joe?
Didn't catch that, was going off of a manual i found in the glove box. Either way the cars really haven't changed from 15-17!
Plate says 2015, but could be a early 2016?
I was just about to say......... 😂
Nicolas D I know right😕😕
Just a tip, Joe: if you wanna do widescreen, now's the time to start editing in a 2:1 timeline! With most phones going to a wider aspect ratio, it'll fit flawlessly on there! :)
I started this video in it but wanted to knock it out and premier was doing some weird things while editing it in 21:9. Next one tho!
Looking forward to it! Great review of the car, by the way. Drove one not too long ago, and had similar thoughts on the sub-par interior. Ended up going with a Maxima and saving the larger purchase for next year!
+Kevin How the fuck did you go from a Corvette to a maxima?
I really enjoyed the review and don't want to argue or challenge anything you said, BUT haha... The majority of people buying these cars don't give a shit about handling for the most part because the car will never see a track with the exception of maybe a drag strip..

Not faster than this, and this is a track car...it's not even close...
Upside down at 5:13 haha that’s awesome
The Stranger Things effect on the IG stories got me hyped for this vid
IDK man, new Maseratis are pretty shit as far as overall quality goes.
Great video brutality honest and right on
you need to find a viper and if possible a viper acr to review. Cant wait to see the hellcat !
Stumbled on you're videos a while ago...have been watching all the other automotive youtubers also...gotta say other than JWW I'm even getting sick of his shit, I gotta say that you're really enjoyable to watch man..simply just because you just do this for fun on the side and you can tell...sick of getting clickbaited and watching useless shit just cuz they're trying to earn if it...I ride with you man..keep it simple and real...hopefully more people will catch on..no need to force content and make a video every day....pump the vids out when you can/want and we'll keep coming back eeertime
Honestly, the Z06 is my favorite car. Best bang per buck, even if I had 100 million dollars I would still choose the Z06.
I’m 6’7” & have zero issues with comfort in my C7. Also 265 pounds, because I’m a Slavic big boy - still no issues. OK, it’s not a cross-country car ... won’t try to say otherwise, but I have driven from SF to LA for 6+ hours & it’s no drama. Good video otherwise sir! 👍🏻
one of my favorite colors, swirl mark black.
Really enjoyed your video. The blower you are showing is not from a 2017 minor point but this is part of the upgrades from the 2016 to the 2017, the supercharger is taller to allow more airflow.
Joe awesome video as always. I love the Zo6.. one thing. is it me or does this video seem a little darker than ur normal videos?
Joe thanks for making me want this car even more
Just when you start slackin.. you hit us with a sick review 👍👍👍
I’ve been waiting 🙌🏼
Great honest review of a great sports car.
It is definitely the best bang for the buck. Overall, good review. Very honest comments about the Hellcat and the Mustang GT350. I like that you can own GTRs and still appreciate something other than JDM. I've got an STi and Honda S2000, but also a '17 Z06/07 and a '13 Gen V Viper GTS. If it's good...........it's good.......... Subscribed. Cheers.
This is a cool video. Thanks a lot. Happy Thanksgiving!
This will be my next car...maybe not Z06 but there's always upgrades!
Another great video, thanks Joe
Are still going to review that m3 e92 with the carbon fiber trunk?
The LS2 in the 2005-2007 C6 Corvettes had 400hp/400 lb.ft. of torque. So yes, equal parts hp and torque existed at least 13 years ago.
Music is actually coldskin Koven Remix, perfect soundtrack for this video 👌🏻
Great video looking at buying one of these bad boys will be my first car that has serious power and is a serious driver track race car.. still looking at other options but this is getting more and more appealing by the day.. thanks Joe
What mods does it have to be making 50 horsepower over stock? Other than the corsa exhaust which shouldn't make much more than the stock exhaust which is already a performance exhaust.
awesome video keep it up joe!
Dope review as always
I can only imagine what the ZR1 will be like. I’m buying the new M5 once it’s available. Wouldn’t mind handing over the keys to Joe just to get a sick video of my car on the channel (and as a keepsake 😇).
Hey joe. I’m in the market for the z06 and the bmw m6 gran coupe. I have seen both of ur videos. I wonder which one is better in ur opinion? I kno they r both great cars. Thanks.
Video on the Rolex would be cool
Man be hating on the GT350, I own one and love it. But I completely understand what he is saying, im here cuz I wanna buy a C7 Z06 for a second vehicle 😁
Joe's video quality is so good that i can see so many imperfections in that black paint lol. Awesome vid and car though!
such a dope car and edit!
The upside down part was pretty bad ass
You should try a Jaguar F-Type definitely worth the money in every way
BADASS.
Content is on fire bruh
that cinematic though
My car is older, but it also had 1/1 ratio hp and tourqe. 390/390. "2003 mustang cobra" and it also had a supercharger on it.
I'd like to see test drive more affordable cars like a Civic Type -R. I want to see if you still show the same excitement.
Dope video bro!
Car has magnetic ride control that’s the best of the best of the best !
Why are your videos just 1min long? ...oh wait 😮😂👌
have you played with the Dodge 8.4inch infotainment system at all?? I personally love it, and think it bets all competitors
Joe, curious, if you had to own a used z06 or the current f80 M3, which would you pick? Or would you rather own a 991.2 gts
+Wahhaj Ali GTS all day 😎. But I’d take the Z over the 3 if it was between the two.
Your the best Joe!!
💥🤘🏾💥well done. I JUST got done throwing shade on your rs5 video bc you called corvettes shitty lol. I take it back, @JoeKnowsBest.. turns out... You really do know best.
Yet a nice video - thanks a million.
Just something I came to think of ... what are the odds of you doing some Old vs New videos? ... like old Firebird vs new Firebird etc - just to check how they compare to their roots?

Lamborghini
Ferrari
McLaren
Do you want to make an r8 review? Because thats my all time favourite and I'm curious what would you tell about it :D awesome video as always
I have changed my mind about vettes after this video... they are freakin awesome!
Josiah Larocque you almost got me with that thumbnail!!!
Lol i still get myself with it xD
You NEED to come to the UK, London, Birmingham and Manchester are all about cars, I’d like to get in contact with you personally if possible bro
happy thanksgiving!
Nice and accurate review (I own a 2016 Z06 (M7).....Best all around performance car for the $
Drag Racing \ street racing with the Dodge Demon or Hellcat (Own a 6 speed till my Demon comes in) is fun!!.....
Drag racers don't care if it cant handle like a sports car on the track.
very good thank you for that info.
Loved the Stranger Things Reference! Joe gets it! :D
This car was born to run, its a shame it cant be done on public roadways, this is more a luxury than a neccesity.
There is now an option pack that allows you to replace the interior plastic with carbon fiber
There’s bump stops behind the seat so it doesn’t rub and you can get 2” more room
Thank you for an American car review
It's pretty sick for sure Joe! Isn't the Camaro SS 1LE faster than it though? Also doesn't it have better too?
Can you do a review on the Jaguar F-Type R.
Did u say a gt or a gt350 chassis wasn't set up right. I can understand the gt, but the shelby is built to track and every bit as good as a zo6 for that purpose. The z is just faster in a straight line
jrvbamafan1 i agree as a owner of a gt350. If they took 300 lbs out of this shelby it wld be perfect. Shes a fat girl
Hey brother very good video. I've looked at alot of videos of this car because I planned to buy one this time this year in 2018. I'm curious here this is a 2017 Z-06 correct. I've haven't seen those style of CORVETTE wheels on most so I'm guessing those wheels are special line up from Chevrolet.
It’s amazing how little people know about cars they call themselves experts.
Love the edit Joe. As far as performance bang for the buck, probably the model S p100d takes the cake or the new tesla roadster.
I agree with you're rev matching comment and the paddles...not a good design. I've got the A8, so it's all good.
