I have a 3lz Z06 HTC 2024. Driving it "spirited" like this causes you to become silent and lose the ability to express it in words. The only thing that happens with me is the occasional giggle like a little kid!!
FYI- if you have a SD card you can use the PDR to record at 1080 and add telemetry if u like, I never add it in case of accident but I have my camera recording 24x7 in my 16 ATSV
Great video and like the Z06. What are your thoughts on the claimed acceleration numbers. 60 in 2.6 and 1/4 in 10.5. Are they obtainable on normal roads?
Great gear winding on those roads. Most ppl wouldn't do that. Stingray would need a new camshaft, intake manifold and throttle body to get that upper rpm "pull". Watch the winter temps for tire traction. Can get real slippery!
It’s Different experience. My old C63 AMG wanted to put the rear wheels in front of the front wheels but it was scary/fun in its own way like it tired to kill you. The fact the Z06 hooks the road so well and carries so much speed throughout the corners is scary in its own way.
That was alot of driveways...ie alot of ways to stop what appears to be an awesome life. That shiny new car keeps a record for the police and the lawyer's to turn your life upside-down
The car was so exciting I couldn't even form sentences! Acceleration is endless as it runs through the rev band, you feel this shove in your stomach as the tach sweeps pass the 5,000 RPM mark and it doesn't let off until you change gears and start the exhilarating process over again. The sheer shriek from the engine is music to my ears and it feels like it’s trying to propel you into oblivion. As you enter the curve, the amount of g-forces it pulls in the corners makes you feel like the tires are made of glue. I could never never explore its full potential on the street based on the amount of corner speed it can carry through. You’d have to be traveling incredibly fast to exceed it's limitations. However the car does remind you that you have to respect it as you exit the curve and the shifts are so quick and seem less sometimes the tail of the car will twitch slightly between the gear changes but it always manages to find the traction and launch out of the next corner due to the engine placement over the rear tires, almost unbelievable how much power it can deliver.
Hey @EddieMCars, be more careful with posting streets near your home. It's not hard to find your spot when you leave that info in your videos. Trust me. FYI Nice home tho
Love your car but I wouldn’t be speeding around residential areas. Keep it on the racetrack or the expressway or long straights with less people driving on it. It only takes that kid riding a bike or that senior citizen walking on the road or that other driver texting driving into your lane. U will not have enough time to react with that speed. Drive safely
I worry about that kid riding his bike or that senior citizen walking on the street. Hopefully he will realize it and pick a long straight less traveled road or just take it to the track
Always wonder why people take the time blur out their license plate. it's public info, and anyway anyone can see it every time you drive. It's not a SS number or some PPI. LOL!!!
That's a great point-though it’s also a clever way to engage viewers. When the license plate is briefly revealed (like in the 6-8 second mark where the mask flickers off and on), it grabs attention. Viewers are likely to react immediately and comment on it, which helps boost RUclips analytics-a win-win situation. That said, you're absolutely right: it’s illegal to obscure your license plate while driving, so why hide it in a video? I think many people do it for a sense of privacy. While most wouldn’t bother looking up random plates, a famous person’s plate might spark curiosity, leading some to investigate further. Fame, after all, often amplifies curiosity.
Wish it had a stick. Auto makes even fun cars boring. EV's are even faster but even more boring. Any car with a stick is exponentially more fun to drive even if slower
@cs.8821 I've driven plenty of dual clutch cars. I only purchase cars with stick. At least the c8 has a dct whereas Chevy should be ashamed of themselves for the auto in the C7. In 10 years there probably won't be any stick shift cars left. C7 z06 might be the last you can own in the Vette family
what is frightening about a c8 Z06? The C7 Z06 is much more visceral to me than the c8 z06. To me the c8 Z06 is a disappointment. I am sure the ZR1 will more than make up for it.
??? C8 is faster, louder, stickier, has one of the most insane launch controls ever on a production car. I genuinely fail to see how a car with an outdated design that barely even measures up to the c8 stingray is more visceral than one of the most mental production NA race cars ever created
@@slayer-stevkan5430it’s called being broke. Broke ppl love hating on newer and better things for the simple fact that they cannot afford it. Little chihuahuas they are
The C8 Z06 is literally one of the fastest production cars on whatever track it has set an official lap on, and has the same engine that is found in the C8.R GT3 car. It can turn in 1.5Gs consistently, per Misha Charoudin’s ring video, has beaten/matched the 992 GT3 RS on more than one occasion, and was Motor Trend, Road and Track, and Throttle House’s car of the year. Yet… Somehow it’s disappointing? It makes 670hp, of course it’s gonna be a little intimidating to someone who may not be used to that level of power.
I CHOSE the 2019 7 speed Manuel Z06 and haven't regretted the choice. I'll stay put with what I have until GM puts a true Manuel in the C8 Z06.There is NO doubt the C8 Z06 looks nice, but for now I'm good.
What a great way to unlive someone by driving like a clown. Anyone could of pulled off or a deer could of ran out. Lets hope the right person sees this and you get fined.

I donr have the car yet so i live vicariously though you! Thanks for the video. I felt like I was driving it 😂
Bro your face is cracking me up.... relax and enjoy.... you look hell stressed out. Good video
Music to my ears!!!
I envy you sooooo much!!!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Nice Riptide blue HTC. Im saving up for mine, have $30k saved up.
That spec is incredibly awesome
Definitely not rapid blue . Either lake elkhart or Riptide metallic blue.
Riptide blue
Definitely not riptide blue
Yeah, I realized my mistake. I knew it was Riptide blue but for some reason I favorite color was (Rapid Blue) was on my mind facepalm 🤦🏽♂️
@@eddiemcars All good! Keep up the excellent work & work outs! Your arms are huge & body fat around 9-11% or less. That is very difficult.
@eddiemcars why are u not using z mode?
Fantastic driving!
He was gentle imo. Drive it like you stole it and before anyone ask yes I own a c3 and C6 Z0. I beat the stuffing out of both.
Nice video, I had headphones 🎧 on so the engine was sounding good 👍 👌
Headphones engaged!
I’m in Aww of these sexy beasts Z06s. 😮

Fucking sick man. I'm a bigger jdm fan but the corvette and the mustangs with a Whipple on it are ridiculous. Love the car man
Did you add it to your cars? Or a test drive? Looks great!
No, I didn't buy this one. This was a test drive. Maybe in the future I could see myself adding one.
C8 in Z06 form reminds me a lot of the Ferrari 458
looks incomplete without the full cf aero kit
I'm mixed towards the Z07 aero.
@@eddiemcars z07 > z06
Great video and like the Z06. What are your thoughts on the claimed acceleration numbers. 60 in 2.6 and 1/4 in 10.5. Are they obtainable on normal roads?
C7 z06 sounds so much better
Is the ride in the Z06 noticeably stiffer than the stingray?
Not really noticed compared to Z51. Unless you really push the car.
Very. The “base” Z06 is noticeably stiffer than a Stingray, Z51 or not, and a Z07 is stiffer still.
@@danieldickerson4838 So you think the Z06 in touring mode is definitely stiffer than a Z51 in touring mode.
@ It is stiffer, yes.
@@danieldickerson4838 Makes sense.

Thanks, I agree, this car is really special!
I agree. The rear tires would break traction slightly in between the 2-3 gear change 😯
I would like to see a road with less curves . Hiway maybe.
Nice car..you act like you are afraid to drive it…I know you have to respect the horsepower..
Yeah, I was scared.
This is one of those cars where the track is best to explore its full potential.
I
Frightening??? My fox body in 1990 was more Frightening. This car hooks up and always go straight.
Dude that's right this thing hooks and is gone while your fox body is still sitting there 20 cars behind.

Was the size of the car an issue on the roads? Here in East TN the roads are tight.
no lol

Why do you look scared to drive 😅
I came to the comments just for this.. 🤣 I see now that it's not his so maybe that's why he's puckered up while driving?
@ndurant3 😂
No idea. I was going pretty quick but It was one of those scary but yet addictive feelings makes the car exciting.
@eddiemcars I feel you hopefully one day I get a chance to experience it
If you're going to make videos try more narration (descriptive narration). Being speechless doesn't get your point across

Definitely has magride, just the springs are set stiffer in the Z06
Thanks for the confirmation!
6:41 - Snow down MKBHD - it’s a 45MPH zone!
The world is my race track!! If you dont like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalks!
At 6"1 will I fit comfortable in this z06
Yes

Just wait till you drive the ZR1.
u cant drive one unless u buy one duh
Trying the "track mode" on a residential road is crazy!
Are you a vegan bud ?

thats riptide blue not rapid blue

All z06s have mag ride in c8
