Some of these comments from people that have no experience with either is quite entertaining! 😂 I’m fortunate to own both. 2022 R8 and 2023 Z06. Z06 is definitely more race car compared to the R8. It sounds unbelievable straight from the factory. My R8 is straight piped and is louder than the Z06, but I still think the Z06 has a more exotic tone. To me, the R8 is more special due to the rarity and the V10 is retired. It’s more of a forever car. I had the opportunity to order both cars and I matched the colors. R8 is Suzuka Grey Metallic with red interior and Z06 is Ceramic Matrix Gray with red interior. Asking me which one I like better is like asking which daughter I love more. There is no wrong decision between these two. Both are fantastic.
I have a 2016 Z06, 650 HP, 650 TQ. Supercharged, I know. I would love to have the new Z06 and I'm an Audi guy. I had a 2001 S8, and currently own a 2013 S5 cabriolet prestige. I love my Audi, but my Z06 is phenomenal. Thanks for the video!
honestly I agree. even as a former r8 owner, I think I would go vette in this one. the z06 is the first vette I would actually consider and they def corrected the ugly looks of the base model with the wider fenders. still the back needs work.

I def would NOT have a base c8 but if I had to choose between a stock r8 or stock z06 I'd slightly lean the vette even tho its not exotic. the z06 is faster and sounds really good, and looks a lot better than the base. its a cheap 458. and probably bc I already owned a new R8... I wouldn't want to keep the car stock tho so the R8 would be the pick in the real world. In fact, Im actually looking into picking up another r8 and turbo charging it.
I’ll take both. A guy in my area has a Bugatti Veyron. He likes to run the interstates late at night I have been told it’s a retired professional race car driver. I tried playing with him one night, I have never seen something that moves that fast on the street.
I think it's cool that they used the engine from the Z06, but I bet it's gonna be super problematic. Massive turbos on an engine that's already pushing the limits sounds like a recipe for unreliability
I would take the ZO6 Corvette. It is like driving a weapon. I have a C4 GS and it feels like driving a fighter jet. Can only imagine the feel of that new ZO6.
My uncle has a base model ‘17-‘18 R8 w/ v10.. it seems to handle & run out pretty damn well, also! imo 💨💯 ..I’d love to push that z06 just abit too! 🦅💨
I've owned a supercharged C7 Z51 A8 and now currently have a C6. Id take R8 but Id want the V10 Plus version with 602 hp with the wing though. I like to try new things. I've never had a Audi let alone its supercar. I just came from having a BMW F10 M5 and Jaguar F Type R at the same time

@@batreview9600 How did they ruin the c8 when it outperforms so many cars in it's class? So you don't like they way it looks? womp womp ain't no one forcing you to buy one.
C8 Z06 is a much better performance car all the way around. Makes sense though: newer chassis, and its the higher trim model vs the RWD Base R8. But if factor buying a used Gen 2 Performance can be had for much less than a brand new C8 Z06, its more evenly matched. Just depends on what you're looking for. The Z06 will obliterate any R8 on track in terms of lap times. I still think the R8 will turn more heads than a C8 and has more of the exotic car vibe since they are more exclusive. You just don't see many R8s on the road so they feel more special. You can't go wrong with either!
It's obvious that the Z06 offers the best bang for your buck but seeing them both on the road, the R8 gives you that presence where the Z06 and other muscle cars just can't replicate!
My money is on the Corvette. It's going to break down far less often. 🤣 What good is an Audi if it's always in the shop, draining your pocketbook? 🤣Great video Racer X!
Over 12 years I had two Audi 4.2 V8’s, which are cousins of this v10. Both cars were my daily drivers bought used and had over 100k miles on them when I moved on. Maintenance and repairs were easy and not that expensive. I love both of these cars for different reasons so it’d be a hard choice. Having a screaming v10 at least once should be on every car guys list though.
Owned my R8 2 years. Oil change only. Some of the earlier models had suspension and ac compressor issues, but that’s really it. Look at Z06 transmission issues. I own one of those too and luckily no issues yet. Also own a Range Rover that’s had zero issues. Point is all manufacturers have problems, maybe I’ve been lucky.
@@seashackf1 Yup. I have owned 2 Audis. An A6 and a Q7. No major issues with either after 7-8 years of ownership respectively. Just keep up on the maintenance (which admittedly is pricy). Good enough that I want to continue being an Audi owner have an RS6 on the way, whoop whoop! Oh, and I currently own a C8 Z06 too :D
@@bdiesel563 maintenance is definitely pricey if you go to the dealer. Parts aren’t that bad when you get them and do the work yourself. Wow, that’s a dream garage right there. Both cars are beasts in different ways. RS6 may not handle like a Z06, but It can do so much. Supercar performance that can make trips to Home Depot and be a beast in the snow. One of the most capable all around daily drivers ever. I had a B6 S4 Avant, with the V8. Absolutely loved that car and everything it could do. Enjoy.
I love both of these cars for different reasons so it’d be a hard choice. Very different, but equally fun driving experiences. Having a screaming v10 and a flat plain crank V8 at least once should be on every car guys list though.
Nice review on those 2 two seaters! None are in my budget but if i could pick one, id find a dealer to special order a corvette at msrp. Theres a dealer just a few miles away. The audi dealer is 30 miles away.......no good for any of the overpriced service they charge.

That Audi was nice during its time, but that thing is outdated. I believe they have discontinued it, but I won’t be surprised if they bring it back at some point.
I just picked up my Z06 about a week ago, and honestly if they just tear down the wall of climate controls, would make the interior feel drastically better, especially for the passenger. If they ever decide to refresh (probably not unfortunately) they could make the screen a bit larger, and put the c.c buttons to the side of the gear selector
Great video.....this particular R8 would probably be better compared to just a Stingray instead of the Z06.....horsepower would be very close, etc. And then we could all laugh that you can get a 60k Stingray that outperforms an R8 that costs more than double. Bottomline...GM gave the middle finger to every supercar manufacturer out there when they made the C8.....and I love it.
I am really thinking about adding a Z06 to my R8 but not sure about having 2 2 seaters. It would replace my M8 coupe which I do use the back seats sometimes. Tough decisions.
The Audi transmission doesn't keep needing to go in for a warranty claim though. And yeah the R8 is a tired platform from 2016. A C8 competitor is coming out with the new baby lambo.
The vette is a boomer car. I’m taking the R8 it’s a car you don’t see everyday. Plus the sound of the V10 is a sound you don’t get bored of. Plus the V10 is way more reliable than that V8 of the corvette. They had so many issues with that V8 especially with cars with low mileage.

The Audi transmission doesn't keep needing to go in for a warranty claim though. And yeah the R8 is a tired platform from 2016. A C8 competitor is coming out with the new baby lambo.
Laughed my ass off about the fuel consumption stats 😂
Z06 by a mile
The c8 z06 all day 👍🏼, I own a 2018 z06 with a lot done to it, makes 750 wheel, would love to see you do a c7 z06 build 👍🏼🇺🇸
The vette is a boomer car. I’m taking the R8 it’s a car you don’t see everyday. Plus the sound of the V10 is a sound you don’t get bored of. Plus the V10 is way more reliable than that V8 of the corvette. They had so many issues with that V8 especially with cars with low mileage.
The vette looks like a batmobile, idk what a boomer car is but it sounds stupid. Not to mention Z06 c8's are also something u don't see everyday + the flat plane v8 definitely sounds better imo
@@blazesmooth5573 It’s a certain Generation look it up everyone knows what a boomer is. That tells me how stupid you’re not knowing something that everyone with a brain knows.😂 Perfect example of the people that call a C8 a super car.😂 Corvettes were never meant to be a super car. That’s coming from someone that owned a C5, C6, and C7 those were the true corvettes. I also see multiple C8 Z06s on the road everyday it’s all the same crap. I want something exotic and unique now of days. You never see R8s on the road and when you see one you’re like man I don’t see those everyday.
I'd take the corvette every time
Audi for me 💪👍
Good video....keep it up.
Compare the lamborghini hurucan sto or tecnica to a z06. Not a base r8
R8 all week and twice on sunday.
R8 obviously. No one cares about Vettes outside the US
I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a day in my life when I can look at a Corvette and call it a supercar.. I would say the R8 would be the supercar between the two. Love the upload man. 👊
yall just blatantly hating at this point
@@Howdy762 am I not allowed to have my own opinion? Maybe not in your world Howdy
@@Howdy762fiberglass temu Ferrari. If you think a vette is a supercar you've never driven a supercar.
@@dilgaf It's far more than just a sports car, but it's not a hyper car. And it's not a muscle car. So what other category is there??
@@Howdy762 No it looks like a kit car like legit. It’s absolutely hideous. It’s no super car.
Audi interior very basic but high quality. I'm surprised no screen even in a 2021.
It’s a driver focused car that’s why.
classic gm engine light is on!
