I was always a Ford guy and had a 16 Mustang GT that was supercharged and drove it for 7 years (loved it). After 5 Mustangs, finally decided to get a Corvette (C7 Stingray) and fell in love with how it drove. After a few months, missed the punch of the horsepower and traded it in on a C7 Z06 (couldn't find a manual so mine is A8). Still the best move I ever made - I absolutely love it. Hard to see myself ever driving anything else. I live in Kentucky, so I will be taking it to the Corvette Museum and hit their track. Can't wait.
I’m old , I’ve been into cars for over 30 years. All types imports, domestics,sbc,bbc,ls, c5, etc I own a 17 m7 z06 and everything you’re saying is true. These things RIPPP
I had a red 1988 Z51 Corvette, a black 1991 Corvette ZR-1, and a silver 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. They were all great cars. I am now on my third Corvette. It's a 2016 Z06, 3LZ, convertible A8, in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. It has body colored vents and exposed carbon hood. Mine has a G meter on the HUD. Best sports car I've owned. I love it. Thanks for the video!
Paid $65k last weekend for 2016 z06 M7 with 35k miles clean title one owner. I also have a 2023 C8 stingray htc and the z is a lot more exciting for sure. Don’t get me wrong, the C8 is a weapon, but the c7z is a batshit crazy frantic monster
Just bought a red 2016 love it most powerful vette I have ever had. I agree on responsible enough driving it. My wife is always with me or I would be in trouble or dead.😂
I currently have a Z06 manual and have had 3 others in the past…. 2 autos and 1 manual…… without a doubt manual is waaaay more fun driving. My wife has a Stingray with 7 speed manual as well….. her rev matching sounds good…. But that rev match on that LT4 is just intoxicating! Plus the autos have all kinds of issues…..
Red is a terrible color for a sports car. But as you said, that's all subjective. The dark grey looks nice for sure. Whatever color ya get, its a dream 😊
This car is honestly great I love how it sounds and the power it has, but it seems to me like there’s too much unnecessary technology, auto rev match or any sort of assistance even for hills shouldn’t be present in a manual vehicle, I would at least want it to be automatically off unless it’s turned on but sometimes they make it the opposite in the modern cars
That's the hardest question in the world... But I'm going to have to say GT500. Working on getting my hands on another one to really push hard and compare the 2.
I have the shark gray/red interior, and it is diabolical. Sure, you can't use it, but then again can you with any car over 600 bhp? But it is nice , when you roll into it, to be smacked in the head with this car. Shreiks like a banshee, and with a stick, a unicorn. Just oil and gas after 8 years...and tires
I’ve owned this car. It was good, but not great. So much power you can’t floor it without risking going straight to jail. And the driving dynamics were boring unless going 9/10ths. Sure a test drive is fun, but live with it for a few months and you’ll get it. You HAVE to drive this car at 4-5 10ths almost always and thats not as fun as driving something with 400-500 HP that you can actually use the upper limits of a bit more. If there were a world with no police and no one on the road, this would be the perfect car
I say this all the time but the new car scene is all about having 1k hp. young dudes are destroying their 60k supras and bmws just to push numbers that they dont even use. meanwhile a 400hp civic type r driver is having more fun than them

criminally underrated. need u to blow up so I can watch you review every car ever!!!!
One day ;)
The sound of the C7 Z06 is just ANGRY! Honestly I think it sounds better than any of the C8s. I said what I said. 😁
Zl1s and z06 on top
I agree ☝️
U ain't wrong rick
The pure exhaust audio when you're not talking is phenomenal. Absolutely loving this editing style.
Nothing beats this for me honestly 💪
Bought mine a month ago. I absolutely love mine, it’s crazy fast and comfortable!

awesome seeing your reaction, mine was almost the exact same. Imagining this in person im so jealous

I have a 2023 HTC as well…… and just bought a yellow 2015 Z06 3LZ with 24,000 miles. We are fortunate to have one of each 😊
selling my '18 BMW M2 for one of these soon, 7-speed manual trying to find a nice low mileage shark grey one. Awesome video man

My dream Car!!
C7ZO6 Torch Red!💪🔥🔥
Gosh yours looks AMAZING
Love the grey colour id go for the ground kit paint matched . Mine is black on black and it looks fabulous 👌
The C6 was the first Corvette to offer a G Meter so I am sure the C7 has it.
It does have a g meter
Tyler’s correct, it has e.
there is a g-force meter deep in the performance section of the dash
Has anyone tried LAUNCHING the C7 ZO6…MANUAL.
I like the grey, 100%!
I think I would go with the automatic for the better 0-60 but your video is causing me to question my preference. 😁
0-60 dont matter when u got 3 pedals
Buy an electric car if that's what you're after lol
Said no one ever everulyone says they wish they got the manual and resale value for manual is way higher
Don’t waste the car with an auto. The 7speed is definitely the way to go.

it does have a g meter you gotta f w the settings to find it

Stock exhaust?
There is definitely a g-force meter in the car. Go through the menus in the dash next time
Will do
Would love to own a c7 Z06, i have a base c5
C7z or 2021 gt500?
That's the hardest question in the world... But I'm going to have to say GT500. Working on getting my hands on another one to really push hard and compare the 2.
Yall should I get a gt350 or c7 zo6
C7 Z06 without a doubt. Unless you just really love mustangs and want to save some money on the purchase price

@@ibrahimelmi210 truth
what would you recommend? currently looking at an f-type r
The only reason I don't drive mine is because I'm going to get in trouble I'm 40 years old
🥺🥺👍
Red
You can go 0-60 mph in first gear chief..
I wanted white
Really great vids man, cant wait to see this channel blow up 🫡
You need to learn how to shift faster
Why would you downshift to 1st gear , feel bad for the owner of the car , learn to drive a bit better is my advice
What is wrong with downshifting into 1st? How else are you supposed to do a 20-30 roll in the best powerband lmao
@@1upjd365who does a 20-30 roll in a Z , you’re a muroon
Noted, do you really think 2 mid-range 1st gear downshifts are that bad for the car?
@@1upjd365please show me someone with a Z doing a 20-30 roll 😂😂😂😂😂
