The 2017 Chevy Corvette Z06 is a crazy sports car with incredible performance numbers -- but is it a supercar? Today I'm reviewing a Corvette Z06, and I'm going to show you all the cool features of the Z06 -- and I'll tell you whether I think the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a supercar.

Fact: although the Chevy Z06 is a car, the Chevy Z00 was an experimental giraffe enclosure.

Doug DeMuro I see you’re in Arizona, I’m here with a 2012 Mercedes CLS63 AMG if you’d like to take a look.
I like the charger hellcat more!

61 out of 50??
Heh heh
Doug. The type of guy to lick his finger before turning the page on his iPad.
I've seen this comment at least 5 different times, so no.
In just spit soda out my mouth lol.
I liked this one.
doug the type of guy to wash his hands after a shower

Doug is the type of guy to review a $90K white corvette on a dirt road. 😂
My z06 is fine in the dirt so is my all wheel drive lincoln continental.
And then put the top on the damn dirt road. Wow the disrespect.

You really need to rethink the styling score when you give a corvette a 6 tying most SUVs on your list...
Yup it only looks as good as a Cadillac elr 06 range Rover plymoth prowler and a Chevy ss. But of course you can't deny that obviously a e46 m3 and a 97 viper look better than it
The C7 corvette was designed by the same guy who designed the Pontiac Aztek, and it shows. How that guy is still getting work I have no idea. A 6 for styling is very generous IMO. The C5 and C6 models looked good, the C7 looks like a constipated brick.
Coming from a c7 Z06 owner I completely agree with Doug's score. Unless you know what you're looking at, it is just a regular Corvette
@Jonathan Sefcik; Well you’re comment really proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. I Love the looks of the C7 and it’s holding up well as the years go by. With the C8 just months away from hitting the streets for a starting price point of $60K makes this video completely irrelevant.

the door handles are designed specifically for less drag!!!
Drag queens 👸
doug is now getting annoying when he says stupid shit like this
Has anyone actually done the science on whether or not Corvettes perform worse with door handles stuck on?
And more important.
They still work after the car has rolled.
No door handle has been knocked off if the car flips over in a crash so people can open from the outside.
They can make manually operated door handles that sit flush with the body like that. They could make it look basically exactly the same but manually operated. It could potentially be equally aerodynamic, lighter, and cheaper to produce
61 out of 50! You can't argue with that
I agree
I can. The score is too high. Should have been in the high 50s.
Like around 57 or 58.
Don’t worry, none of you could afford it anyway
@@stacia6678 out of 50, not out of 100 is the joke. Re-read, re-listen, and then preferably re-comment
Edit, I just saw 1 year ago, eh I'll leave it
22:00 61 out of 50? See me after class, Douglas.
What, you want accuracy? This isn't Motor Week from 1996.
I wanted Senpai to notice me, which actually worked
Doug DeMuro lol true
nah, the corvette is just that good
Lol douglas
Corevette owner here: you can open the rear lift gate by pressing a button just above the license plate. The driver can take over the passenger air control from the center stack by pushing Sync which slaves it to theirs.
Hillslam How fun is the C7?
Yes indeed to both...wanted to reply the same.
Wouldn't Sync turn off if the passenger adjusts their temp?
Its an amazing car, full stop. No qualifiers.
Now, don't go confusing the reviewer with FACTS...
I hate how biased this video is. If this was a Ferrari Doug would be drooling over this, but because it's a Chevy, it always comes with that stigma. Guarantee you if there was a Ferrari with doors that you push a button to open and close, and the badge right on the info center, Doug would be like "Wow how neat is that, such a super cool thing to do to add the horsepower." But since it's not a Mercedes it will automatically be 10 points less on the Doug score.
Edit: Bet you if Chevy did what Lamborghini did and put the numbers of which order the pistons fired off when the car started, Doug would call it "unnecessary"
I love how a simple review like this where he does in fact not actually trash the car, get all the Corvette fans having their underwear in a knot.
You obviously missed these positive comments
"It's shockingly roomy" He liked the boot space.
"Cool logo" Giddily said over and over.
"Very nice well boltered grippy seats" Like those.
"Center console is very usable" Liked it except for the hinging which IS idiotic.
He likes the rev matching
He likes the heads-up display, a lot.
Poking fun of the ECO mode in such a car. Who wouldn't.
He really like the performance display and how it displays info.
He likes the Performance date recorder.
He comments the fact that the car changes the drivers opinion of "fast".
He praises the engine for being excellent, excellent , excellent.
Steering is called AMAZING and then he raves on about how great it is.
He then says "This car is just incredible".
He simply just points out some of the flaws of the car, but he likes it for what it is,
Don't be so overly sensitive just because all of us don't share your vision of what the Z06 is.
@@AB-80X nah i think he's pretty much on point, never noticed it really doug really does drool over anything Ferrari and Lamborghini and puts way too much emphasis on brand names, he starts with drilling home what company made the car and lets it kinda drive his opinion through out the review
This is why I literally have NEVER watched even one Doug score. Why in the hell would I care about that. He just got through explaining everything about the vehicle. I'm intelligent enough to know where it stands. I don't care what some nancy rates his favorite vehicles. I barely ever watch him drive the car either.
Well it is a Chevy.. and there’s a big difference between a Chevy and Ferrari/Lamborghini. Not saying that’s a bad thing..
I’ll gladly take this ZO6 over any Ferrari any day
I would have given the Z06 a higher score than 61/100
So much plastic... I agree with his score...nothing new about the style.
61/100 for a Z06 is another proof if more was needed that "Doug score" as well as his opinion are irrelevant. This is a sports car AND a supercar.
@@mustangsupersnake7848 Check out the CZcams channel DragTimes. The ZL1 (which is faster than the Z06) get it's ass kicked by exotics with less horsepower every time. I'd say it's a sports car, not a supercar
Mustang SuperSnake it’s NOT a supercar. It doesn’t have the performance or quality. It doesn’t get close to any new mclaren, Lamborghini or Ferrari

Doug, did you just put the fucking roof on the dusty desert sand?
Doug, the type of dude to...
Just no respect. I thought the same thing.
Exactly ffs!
As a corvette owner (who had to replace the targa roof once and knows how damn expensive they are), the amount of pain I felt as he put that thing on the gravel. Doug... why.
I was gunna ask, is there room in the trunk for it???

Worth noting that the horsepower and torque plaque on the interior is a nod to the plaques in the C3 that displayed horsepower, torque, cubic inches, and the compression ratio. It’s a heritage thing and not just a gimmick.
A gimmick that's repeated over and over does not make for a heritage that is worth preserving.

"I haven't gotten any tickets yet, but... well, the day is young."
THAT'S the attitude!
what happens if you rent your car out via Tauro and the one lending it gets into a speeding ticket, or worse, uses it for drug running, crashes it, etc? You might be able to proof your innocence but I can’t imagine the legal battle will be pleasant, nor the misery trying to get some money from the insurance.
Speeding ticket won't be a problem, you pay it and all is good. The others, well. That don't really happen that much.
why would I pay for someone else speeding in my car??
You don't.

Did anybody else notice that this car's best fuel consumption average was almost 27 mpg? I'm assuming with eco mode activated and keeping your foot out of it. Dude, seriously. That's pretty damn impressive for a 650 HP sports car.
The ZO6 uses 4 cylinders when cruising on the highway in eco mode.💯
my dad's '92 C4 got upwards of 50 mpg in sixth gear on the highway. 300-ish hp, but no cylinder deactivation

This guy still uploads Minecraft videos that already tells you a lot about him
As an owner of a 2017 Z06, I can tell you there is a lot wrong about this review. It handles incredibly well and corners with ease at high speeds. The performance is amazing and it is shown on his face when he actually drives it. (and it does have the same exterior trunk release as most cars, it’s just hidden a bit better, plus it’s a self closing hatch as well.) It is an amazing car with racing history that should be respected more than a 61.
People just love hating on the Z06 because it's literally a supercar but people just don't wanna admit it because their nismo is "better"
@@Pretzel829 people can't handle the fact that an American company can make a better performing sports car for 2-3x less than the Europeans.
Competition stands for the type of seat. It has nothing to do with the car you own. Come on Doug...
He loves the C5 Z06 which was way less nice but craps all over this one... makes no sense
@@evocati6523 he likes the C5 Z06 because it's a bargain and still performs well, but still barely in the lines if not too much to get into big trouble. He doesn't seem to like this car because, idk?

Nick Karsten but they’re not super cars
Corvette has been making supercars since the original GrandSport back in the 60's. They are so underrated no one outside of the 50 states care about them.
jusbus777 because they’re plastic pieces of junk, don’t even put it in the same category as real Supercars. Anyone who’s sat in both will laugh at you if you call a C7 a supercar
Wrong. But rarity and exclusivity is part of a car being a supercar. Add to that is has to be more than the sum of its parts. The Corvette does what you expect of it, but nothing more. And when the car is compromised in all the wrong ways, that does not help either. It's not a supercar, deal with it.

I have no idea what roads you were driving the car on, but I have a 2016 Z06 M7 in Florida, and it most definitely does not have a “harsh” ride even in sport mode. In tour mode, the car’s ride is very smooth. Pretty good combo when you consider that of all the cars Car and Driver tested in 2019, the Z06 was numero uno on the skid pad, @ 1.19 g’s, and in braking. And yes, that included the Ferraris, McLarens, and Porsche’s and the like. Most certainly it is not “behind the supercars in handling.” Compare it’s Nurburgring time of 7:13 (7:10 with 100 octane tune) to so-called supercars, and you’ll find it’s right up there with the best of them. It is quite capable of being purely docile if you like around town, or reverting to pure, unadulterated, animalistic fury in an instant. Supercar? If you learn the car and how to properly drive it it is. I could absolutely convince you of an affirmative answer in less than 5 seconds with just a relatively short straight followed by a tight s curve. You do have to know how to drive the car properly, however. Just sayin.’ Maybe prior renters beat your example to a pulp. Your review is inaccurate in numerous respects, and reflects an obvious bias rather than objectivity. Sad effort.

There are some definitions that are not subjective. The most important two things are these. It has to be exclusive and rare, and it has to be more than the sum of its parts. You can walk straight across LA on Corvette roof tops and you know exactly what you get in one without a lot of surprise.

I drove one today at work loved it
did he really put that roof on the dirt? #respectthecar
this guy fucks cars' exhausts
Danny Tran And it literally has a spot it the trunk where it snaps in, specifically designed for the roof
Calm down and don't jump to conclusions. You didn't see what he put it down on. There was probably a blanket or something on the ground to catch the roof.
Jacob Frey it’s abit late but he put it on a suitcase
Sounded like it...
Doug the type of guy to go over every trivial quirk in excruciating detail, but ignore the important fact that the targa top can be stored in the hatch.
That seems so obvious that it does not deserve mention.
He just threw it on the ground . If I was the owner I would open a claim with Turo.
+Ruzaanyt Guerrero He didn't throw it on the ground, he set it on the ground so I doubt there was any damage to open a claim over.
modsurgeon He wouldn't need to mention it, he could just show himself putting the top in the correct spot instead of on the ground.
he did noticed that cupholders were rubbish, so give him credit just for that

Doug is the type of dude to read the WHOLE owners manual in every car he drives. Lmao wtf
The most underrated supercar of our time!
Doug is the type of guy to have a comment section explaining what type of guy Doug is
I'm sure the owner of that Z06 you rented is going to be SUPER stoked you brought it out to some dusty unpaved field to film this in. If he's not perturbed by that, then he will certainly find himself chuckling when he watches you lay the roof on that presumably fine sand/gravel.
Thinking the same think… but who the hell would rent their Corvette?
Really. Look at the top lap times at Nurburgring. It outran all but 16 cars ever tested. It outran Italian supercar. It outran German super cars. It outran English super cars. It outran Japanese supercars. If that doesn’t qualify it for “supercar” what would? Anyone that would say this isn’t a supercar, is a biased dufus. The base corvette is a supercar.
Rev match, cammon...
Chevrolet Corvette C8 and I hope they make a Z06 and ZR1 versions of the C8
chriscat85 you’re an idiot. GM took it there and set a time with engineers and many attempts. It doesn’t even come close to any new supercar that was taken there by their manufactures like the GT3RS/GT2RS/huracan performante/aventador SV ect. Ferrari has never set an official lap time. All the lap times are set by journalists and usually in traffic, meaning not even close to 100% of the car has been extracted.
In any independent test the Z06 gets beat every time..
chriscat85 any reply you “ biased Dufus”? You’re the one using bias for the corvette by comparing a manufacture set lap time against journalist times.. if you look at actual times set by Porsche or Lamborghini the Z06 isn’t even close. In any independent test it gets beat by real Supercars every time
Steve Smith Which Porsche? Which Lambo? I never said the vette beat all comers. I said it easily smoked lots of exotic cars considered “super cars” and costing orders of magnitude more. Sure, there are a handful faster. About 15. And your assertion that the times were “set by journalists” is bogus as hell. The lap times lists the drivers. Of the 15 faster than the Vette, 10 were factory tests. Porsche, Lamborghini, lexas, Nissan. The rest were driver by Christian Gebhardt. Professional driver. Neither a journalist nor an amateur. There are no amateur drivers in the top tier. And none of these times were set in traffic. It’s against the rules. Nothing in your post is accurate of factual. Nothing. But that’s OK. Sit in your room looking at internet car porn of multi million dollar cars, you’ll never own, and probably never even see in person. I’ve got my deposit down on 2020 vette. And by the way, if you had actually looked at the ring times, you would have noticed, the Vette time was actually posted by a magazine, with Gebhardt driving. One of the minority NOT set my a factory team.
It's such a sexy looking car and it sounds so beautiful.
At 22:00 Doug accidentally said 61 out of 50. Apparently, the Z06 gets a 122 on the DougScore lol.
Linesiderr® haha but I think the Agera RS will hit the logical maximum which is less than 100.
61/50 would drive again
No accident. The Z06 is the greatest car ever made I'll tell you what

Couple things
-Hes reviewing the “base” Z06. No carbon fiber, colored hood scoop, or aero package/perf package.
-There actually is a way to open the trunk from the outside. Theres a button under the lip where license plate is. Cmon Doug
Really, really, excellently good.
He should have test drove mine. Z06 completely loaded 3LZ with the Z07 package.Stage 3 aero And all the carbon fiber goodies.
A dream car for me .
It's manual... That's why the passenger seat has 2 controls. If I'm shifting, you better use the second one. You don't reach over the shifter if I'm using it
Yun Wine great point
Fernando Ramirez great point? What do you mean great point? Why not just put the controls on the other side instead of putting one on the other side and one in the middle?
charles chua because the driver wants to change the controls too, but if they are shifting the transmission into a new gear, then nobody should have their hand in the way trying to change the climate controls.
Boo hoo
PASSENGERS KEEP THEIR HANDS ON THEIR SIDE OF THE DIVIDER, THAT'S WHY IT'S THERE.
Does Doug really not know what calibration means? He just calibrated the screen, called it whack-a-mole, and then asked what happened?
Can you explain it for us? In detail.
777jones sometimes it may happen (maybe when you install new screen) that you touch somewhere but it shows somewhere else so you can calibrate screen so it works properly
The fact that you have to calibrate it is pretty sad. Touchscreens haven't needed that in over a decade. Cheap ass GM
The newer type of touchscreen (capacitive) doesn't work if your fingers are cold, wet, or you're wearing gloves. Resistive touchscreen has lower sensitivity, transmits less light, but it's cheap and only needs pressure, not capacitance. .
Doug is probably just way too young (being 28) to know that old monitors were calibrated this way, and is nothing so "whack-a-mole" weird.
I actually like the Z06 design better than the ZR1....love this particular one in white
Doug looks like a young Jay Leno :D
lol When he gets old he needs to give Leno the honor of adopting his hairdew
I was thinking the same thing but his dad loves a good American supercar
pretty sure they are related!
Doug, the competition markings on the seats you seemed to be disappointed with (at 6:40) are not referring to the car in general, but rather specific optional "Competition Sport Bucket Seats" designed by Chevrolet engineers to provide a "secure fit and bolstering for high g-cornering" which are built on high quality magnesium frames. The standard seat has no such markings.
Chevy was not trying to be pretentious and label the overall car as a competitive machine (although they sure have every right to), they simply wanted to provide a distinctive marking for the optional equipment as is fairly commonplace today and something most consumers appreciate.
Regarding its "Supercar" status...If it wore a Ferrari badge, cost $300k, spent a third of its life in the shop, added a couple of zero's to the cost of each annual service and ended up with less impressive performance numbers than the Z06's 0 to 60 in 2.95 seconds and 202 MPH top end, no one would have a problem in the world calling it a supercar.
It's a free country and anyone can say my Z06 is not a "Supercar", but they are just going to have to say it from behind me.
"..they simply wanted to provide a distinctive marking for the optional equipment as is fairly commonplace today and something most consumers appreciate."
Do most Corvette Z06 consumers really need and/or appreciate to be reminded of the name of the optional equipment in their car on a daily basis?
Anyone with a set of eyes can see that those are special seats (and I'm sure they're great) - that text just makes it look cheesy in the same way a glued-on "Turbo" emblem on a Kia would.
Well done sir well done.
"It's a free country, and anyone can say... but... they are going to have to say it from behind me."
^I'm borrowing this. It's bold, a little cocky, but stated with reserved assurance. I love it!
You’re 100% correct.
If it said competizione, Doug would spluge his shorts
Who the actual fuck put their new 650hp Z06 on that rental car app.
Mike's Tool Shed I'm pretty sure this car won't last long lol
Someone who wants help with the monthly payments 😄
Someone who has no respect for their vehicle and who is probably looking for attention.
Some guy in Phoenix.
I lived in phoenix, the sun makes you crazy.....
Doug you should stick to driving your Prius. The Z06 is amazing considering the price. I will put my C7 Z06 up against any super car under 200k. Its not just good it is a super car. It’s a super car for people that don’t want to blow money. Like I said you should stick to your Prius or just ride a bike.
Once again.....luv the "Doug reaction" when hitting the gas pedal
He has that in every car!!
Doug the type of guy to still play angry birds
You take that back!!!
Okay that one was funny lol.
WHat's wrong with that game? I play it every night before going to sleep and it helps me sleep better. i dream of it.
And
Jeez Doug, been watching new videos for ages as they come out and just noticed you're hitting over million on almost every one. My man!
The calibration is so when you touch the screen it is registering the touch where it needs to. Sometimes screens like that will become off a little if you remember some old touch screen units like a smart board. Those needed to be calibrated the same exact way
@4:14 Yes, you can open the truck another way besides the key fob or interior button. That fob has a hidden key which can unlock the trunk just to the right of the license plate.
I'm confused now. I've always enjoyed your videos. But did you really just give the GT350 and Demon higher score on styling and cool factor? That may be subjective. But you did say the zo6 isn't as cool because the styling is based on a 60k car. Well, the GT350 and Demon styling is based on 25k car. And again, while those may be subjective.....you rated the GT350 higher on handling??????? That blew my mind. I am not a Chevy guy. I actually am not a fan of either but having driven both I can say the GT350 doesn't handle even half as good as the zo6. You're comparing a high end sports car competing in the realm of supercars like 488 GTB and 911 GT3's, to high end pony cars competing in the realm of sports cars like the BMW M4 and Porsche Cayman. This is not one of your better reviews.
David Khbies lmfao "I've driven both." Then you would know the GT350 has far superior handling. Chevy fan boy much?
It is a dougscore, so it's inherently based on his preference
LmancoolJ no it isnt.... dude the gt feels front end heavy and when u do a tight turn u have to catch it or ur gonna lose it stupidly quick,the vette has a better handling and its a lighter car by almost almost 1000lbs also the lower stance on the vette makes it easier to dive into corners
LmancoolJ Like I said. Not a fan of either car honestly. I'm a Porsche guy. But no the Mustang isn't even close. It's weight distribution and center of gravity are not nearly as good. It's heavier. It's suspension and traction control system and are AGES behind especially if we're talking about the Mag ride system on GM cars. If you look up Virginia International Raceway records. The zo6 lapped the 2 and half minute track just 1.1 seconds behind Fords Gt. Are you insinuating the Gt 350 is almost as quick as the Ford Gt????? Lol get out of here. States "Far superior handling" then has the audacity to call me a fanboy.
I absolutely agree. I traded in my Mustang for my Z06/07. They aren't in the same league. I also own a Viper and other Japanese sports cars, so I'm not necessarily a Chevy guy. It really isn't one of his better reviews. Those were the competition seats, that's why they say "competition" on them. I have the more comfortable seats..... He clearly didn't read the manual and figure out that "Tour" mode is the best mode for comfort, which the car certainly is.... It absorbs bumps really well in Tour mode. He also missed the fact that you can adjust the volume of the exhaust independently between Tour, Sport, and Track, as well as a "Stealth mode" which makes it almost silent for those late night early morning arrivals and departures. He didn't try the launch control, didn't mention the adjustment of the steering effort between Tour, Sport and Track, the 29 mpg hwy....the fact that the A8 which I have does 0-60 in 2.95 seconds.........on and on and on....he spent more time talking about the placement of the vents, or the passenger side climate controls.....really?
You can open the trunk from under the license plate
Cars and etc. videos would you please give my racing channel a Subscribe im working on building up a real nice channel and have plenty of videos for you to enjoy
Doug, You can open the rear hatch from the outside above the license plate.
The seats are the optional Competition seats, That is why they say competition.
Thank god someone commented this. It was driving me insane that he didn't know that. He literally showed the hidden trunk release on the ZL1 he reviewed recently which is located in the same place on the C7.
Digital Car Addict I have a feeling this was filmed before that
Can't agree with this score and this is definitely a supercar Doug you lost me on this one.
Corvette zo6 has and always will be a supercar.
My zo6 is 200 mph I dont know any sport cars that will hit those 200's
TEAMIMPORTKILLER well a supercar has class leading performance, quality and rarity. Which the corvette has nothing of. It’s a high level sports car that’s all it is. Fills the gap between normal sports cars and Supercars. But it still doesn’t have the quality that most sports cars have anyways because all the development and costs goes into the engine.
@@devinb3397 the interior on the c6 zo6 doesn't have the high quality is the only down fall.
C6 zo6 is aluminum frame and carbon fiber panels maybe 2 cars besides the corvette can do 200 mph stock.
That is super car, hyper cars are 700 whp mine will be close this winter
Corvette are the car of the gods hands down
TEAMIMPORTKILLER you can buy a brand new 720s or 488 pista that will put down pretty much 700whp stock, and only weigh 3000lbs, meaning they can run 9 sec 1/4mile from the factory..
Now you’re talking out of your ass saying because your cars modded it’s a hyper car? People have tuned a 720s with upgraded turbos and it’s ran into the 8’s at 160mph. It’s still a supercar.
Those cars I mentioned too have insane interiors and build quality, and looks. Which the corvette doesn’t have..
Stop talking BS and just accept that it’s high level sports car with good value. Go rock up to a supercar meet and watch them laugh at you, because that’s what would happen
TEAMIMPORTKILLER BTW HyperCars right now have 1500hp and can hit 270+mph. All while having a good interior and quality. Let me know when your vette does that from the factory, then you can call it a HyperCars
@@devinb3397 lol you act like you have a fast car ? Get on my level and then talk shit.
All these peasant talk shit about racing and you probably drive a vw bug.. corvettes are the car of the Godz 💪
It’s clear that Doug despises corvettes lol
Jon Davis you’re an idiot 🤦♂️
really dude I guess 🤷♂️. I hope you’re being sarcastic which you probably are.
A lot of the stuff he complained about here he has complimented on other cars though lol
he's a tsundere
Yup !!ii!!
So bad ass
SpeirsTheAmazingHD ohhhh hay funny seeing you here
SpeirsTheAmazingHD
dafuq u doin'here?
What are you doing here with daddy Doug
Wow, I was actually about to watch GTA5 Roleplay
SPEIRS WATCHES DADDY DEMURO! :D
FYI, the C5 did not have the same door handle "gimmick" that this and the C6 have- it is a completely normal, tactile pull-handle.
It's not a gimmick. It's one less thing sticking out and creating drag.
Damn that thing sounds 😭😭🔥🔥🔥
There is an exterior trunk button just above the license plate😛..Come to Miami, review it on my 2017 Grand Sport..
Its still mediocre
Although the GS is nice, it's no where near the Z06
From what I have read the grand sport is one of the best sports cars ever. Z06 is overkill for on the street use and it tries to kill you. Just from what I have read on a bunch of different articles and watched in videos no personal experience I can’t afford these cars yet lol I personally like how the grand sport looks better than the others
TheFunkhouser and what exactly do you drive? Your moms honda?
In addition to the button above the license plate, there is a key hole you can stick the slide out key from the key fob so you can get into the car in case the battery dies. It's easy to miss, I had to look it up on mine.
Doug, the Corvette logo is flags, not wings.
It's both. They intentionally designed it to look like wings.
wewd They are just flags in the wind, sure the newer ones is more aggressive and V-shapped. All previous Corvette logos going back to the 60s have just been flags, never resembeling wings. Noone calls them wings and GM has never (that I know of) referred to them as wings or resembleling wings.
Doug is stupid as fuck. He can’t tell the difference between supper car and exotic
daniel PC/ Xbox Are you actually making the distinction "exotic?"
Keep playing Midnight Club, turbo.
daniel PC/ Xbox I love eating McDeath in my Supper car
You forgot to mention the steering/suspension/exhaust can all be adjusted to your liking, or you can change it with the driving modes!!! Epic fail on your part
He's doesn't even like Corvettes. Something he admits in his last gen Zr1 review
You can tell he rushed making this review. He left out a few things.
Right.. He was complaining about road feel but depending on the mode the road feel is drastically different.
Four years after first seeing this video, my local Turo finally has one listed. July 4th weekend will be fun 😁
Doug, the type of guy to give the Corvette a final score of 61 out of 50. 22:00
The reason the seat says competition is because theres a few different types of seats available and thats the competition seat
Backyard Chevy Yeah but why put the word on it? Manufacturers don't put "Comfort Package" on their seats.
In my E63 AMG, the seat is a horrible color. Why don't they print "HORRIBLE COLOR" on the seat?
Doug, the color isn’t horrible it’s a old man color, they should print “Old Dude” on them
Well choosing the horrible color is up to buyer lol. The tires say Michelin Pilot Super Sport on em I think u should say something about that too for saying super sport lol.
Doug DeMuro Because nobody prints the color of the seat on the seat.
You can order Recaro seats for some cars and it says Recaro on those seats if you do so.
A lot of people don’t know this but this is a 6.2L “Supercharged” V8
Have two of those cars in my col-de-sac, jealous everyday XD
Z06 Stormtrooper Edition
Erwin Tjia Z06? Nah. It's Zoxxxx
so...its going to crash a lot but somehow hit an object that is way out of its path?
Kiboe. Which is positive, it will be the Anti-Mustang.
Kiboe. A win for crowds
Kiboe it’s not a mustang 😂😂
61/50 = 122/100... Gotta get that car i guess. Best Dougscore so far
Smokeyy that's what I noticed. 😂😂😂
May 2023 I picked up a 2016 Z06, 3LZ, A8, Convertible in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. I came from a C4 ZR-1 and a 2011 CTS-V, so I know about performance, but God the Z06 is phenomenal. I appreciate what GM has done with the C8 but I just love the looks of the C7 better. Thanks for the video!
Doug....great reviews. I always appreciate your perspectives. I’m 6’5” and have ruled out this car. Wish Chevy offered a couple more inches of headroom or legroom.
C8 you will love ❤️
