I agree with you 100%! I’d buy my Z06 again without hesitation. The cars are so fast and so much fun. Great video and I appreciate the honest feedback about your ownership.
If the ZR1 is not available at MSRP (my dealer says they will honor MSRP) I may even buy another one with the mid run refresh in Sebring Orange. I’m glad you enjoy yours as much as. I do Gordon!! Thanks friend
@@fred8050 thank you! When you get it you’ll NEVER regret one minute of ownership. It’s the most amazing car I’ve ever owned and even driven to this point!
I don't own a Z06... but I do own a C8 Stingray. I too would buy a C8 again, without hesitation. The Z06 has to be all the C8 & more... Either car is a treasure. I know I have no regrets for my choices with my Stingray. Great video.
@@randalltom9750 I have driven the stingray and it’s unbelievable good as well…. Best “base” Corvette model…. EVER! The Z06 just takes everything to the next level but I would certainly own a Stingray without even having to think about it. They are so good
i love my 7 and 8th gen z06's. I traded in my previous hellcat an some money down for the order. People cant really tell but the new c8 z06 really makes you respect how much work went into the overall design for the experience while the others are all going v4 hybrids and or full electric. Just had Vengeance Racing do some performance work to mines the other month.
Awesome!!! Yah the engineering is really NEXT LEVEL to build this car on all levels! If you’re close enough to use Vengeance Racing you’re not too far from us. We are metro Atlanta! Thanks for watching video!
@@vthomas2313 thank you very much! Check out all the content on the channel…. We have been doing some cool stuff and have some amazing content coming up! Welcome!
Def agree with all points David. Infotainment is my main gripe. Otherwise amazing vehicles tho and Chevrolet definitely hit it so far out of the park with this car!!! Great video!
If you were local to Atlanta metro could make that happen……. I absolutely LOVE the C6 Z06 cars! And engine light on because it was only power on and not running 😊. Thanks for watching and commenting
Yeah.. wish I was closer.. beautiful car that c8Z.. you can see mine if you click on my name.. the power of the c6 z is crazy also.. I've had mine 13yrs now.. can't give it up.. 😊
@@driven555 you are correct! That LS7 and the low weight make those C6 Z06’s s car that is still faster than many newer cars. I will own a C6 Z06 one day. Those wide body C6 cars are tied for my favorite looking Corvette of all time
GM Has got to ditch the HVAC controls on the rail with tiny buttons & put better instruments! The gauges are terrible. Copy Porsche or Honda if the designers are clueless!
If you are considering it…… do it! It’s the most amazing car I’ve ever experienced and it’s so much car for the money! If you’re considering museum delivery (which I feel is a must) I can set you up with dealer at MSRP. Just contact me
What a great value for the money and a great value at twice the price! GM hit it out of the park with the C8 and then followed up with another with the Z06….grand slam with the ZR1?
All three will punch WAY above the price. The Z06 is so good I can’t imagine how amazing the ZR1 will be! It’s something I can’t wrap my head around at the moment experiencing how good the Z06 is!! I love your products and videos radiator grille store!
Hey David, love the video and love the car!! I live in Georgia as well. I’m not a Chevy owner however I am very much a car enthusiast. I have a 20’ GT350. Do you guys ever have meetups? I’m always looking to connect with people who enjoy cars as much as I do.
Yes we do! I love the GT500! I owned a 2009 one for years! I would love to actually get your car on the channel……. Email me and we can exchange information. We are always doing something. dbmracing2019@gmail.com
Thank you for nice video ,I have a question about gas millage, if you full tank usually what is the range and how many miles can drive? Because I have AMG GTR 220 miles range 190 miles can drive how about z06?
Nice video! Does the front trunk get hot enough to cause any problems carrying a cooler with ice? Motortrend said the frunk on the Z06 gets too hot for groceries.
A car that literally ERADICATED THE ENTIRE LAMBORGHINI HURACAN SERIES as anything but a substandard option for a car purchase at ANY price is very hard to hate on.
@@LOCKHIMUP2024 I encourage you to watch my video of roll racing the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. I also encourage you to go to Google and search Car and Drives’s Lightning Lap All Results and see that the C8 Z06 is the 6th fastest car ALL TIME and the fastest NA car they have ever run on the track. It’s a good read and the lap time chart they have has every single car with every single lap time and there are a TON of Lambos and Ferraris and Porsches slower than the Z06. In fact….. not one Lambo they had in any of the Lightning laps is faster. Don’t take my word for it. Go to google and check it out. It’s so impressive what this car is capable of.
If you are cruising and just loafing it…… this car will actually get 20-21 MPG! Real world around town is more in the mid teens MPG 15-16…. If you can’t stay out of the fun pedal it’ll drop fast 😊. It’s really crazy that you can get 21 MPG on the highway with this thing! Thanks for watching
Yah they make BEAUTIFUL music!! And I love I mean LOVE the widebody C7 and C6 looks! Love them both and will own those generations one day as well. Life goals HAHA
No sir. The Z06 doesn’t have AFM. I have friends who have Z51 stingrays that have the same complaint. I believe several companies now offer ways to permanently delete that but I am unsure. Thanks for the question and stopping by the channel!
You will LOVE IT! Amazing car. I also highly recommend museum delivery. See our delivery video on the channel. It was one of the best experiences for sure
Man that’s a great question I should have included that in my video because it’s actually quite impressive. On long road trips and when cruising around town this car will get just over 20 MPG… obviously MUCH less if you are running it hard. But it’s been super impressive to get 20+ MPG. Multiple Z06 owners I’ve talked with or know also report the same results! Thanks for that question!
sorry but that color is just not right...the strong metallic makes it look constantly dusty/dirty/cloudy whatever....doesn't ever look clean. Standard black looks much nicer
Never again! One of the worst cars on the street... it is pointless. A miata setup for the track is way more fun! If i still lived in Germany, it would be different... no place to drive the z06 except the track, and a better track car is.... the MIATA, lol... slow it is, but way fun.
I’m currently looking for competition seats that have the red/grey accent trims on the CF seat. I like the red but know some folks do not….. thanks for watching and commenting 😊
