    YES... If I get a 2019 Corvette, I would Definitely prefer the ZR1... but not at nearly twice the cost. (The ZL1 is the Camaro... or a Corvette from Many Years ago.)
    But "Me Thinks thou doth protest too much"... If you want a 4600 Pound car that can carry groceries better, and is easier to get in and out of, with room to stretch out and take a nap ... buy a Charger, or an SUV... you can't put groceries in the back of a 911 nor a Lambo, either. It's a CORVETTE... NONE of them are as EASY to get in and out of as a Family Sedan... If that makes it an unsatisfying car for you... you are looking for the Wrong kind of car. You don't buy a $70,000+ 2-seater to be "Practical".
    I just think you are "Judging" the Z06, or Corvettes in general, by the Wrong 'set of rules'... I don't know of ANY "Sports-Car" that would meet those criteria.
    You don't evaluate a Race Horse by how well it can pull a wagon, or if the saddle is comfortable.

    This is one strange video. I have a 2019 Z06 as a daily driver - in fact, as my only car. It's great! There are so many errors in this video. This guy 'KCars' back hurts after 30 minutes, and "he's not kidding!!" Makes you wonder what's wrong with his back?? I'm 6'3" and my back has never complained after driving the car on long trips. The one significant complaint I have with the car is tire noise, which can be bad on coarse pavement, but disappears on smooth. Don't know if KCars mentions that since I stopped watching partway through. I'll also point out that my displays aren't nearly as 'laggy' as his, which may be a function of a newer car?
    The reliability is excellent, tire wear not so much, but after all there are 650 lb-ft of torque twisting the driveshaft - the 335 rear tires spin easily in second gear. Mine is a manual transmission, overall mileage about 17 just driving around Tucson, running errands and waiting for the pandemic to end.

    "There are only two ways to open the trunk" - then proceeds to show the third way, and apparently there is a fourth way as well. How many ways do you need to open your trunk?? Your gripes about things sliding around in your trunk are universal to any car being driven hard.
    I DD'd a C6 for two years, and found it to be every bit as practical as any small or mid size sedans. Other than a few scrapes on big dips and rain gutters which can almost always be driven around, the ride height was perfectly fine.

    I stopped watching at 2:40 after about 4 mentions of not practical and low to the ground. This is a true sports car and some say supercar. It must below to the ground for handling, aerodynamics/downforce, traction and cannot be tall as a pickup truck. It is tight for keeping you in firmly and safely in the seat during high speed curves if you've never taken to a real track so ingress and egress is not that of a pickup or sedan. Trunk space is usable compared to others in its class: Audi R8, Jaguar F Type SVR, McLaren 570S, Mercedes AMG GT, Nissan GT-R, Porsche and some Lambos and Ferraris. I use a C7 Z06 Corvette cargo trunk net for carrying small items and a few groceries, costs $20 and I can cary 4 cases of water bottles or two small carry on sized suit cases. Wide tires required for traction. Challenger is not in the class of a Vette, nor Mustang. Solidness is sufficient for what it needs due to weight concerns at over 3500 lbs, not exactly a Mini Cooper. Daily commuter for me? No. Balls out weekend high speed cruiser - yes and I've shammed many Challengers, Mustang GT 500 and others from a dead stop or rolling at 60 mph.

      Keep in mind, the seats are ventilated, not cooled. They pass ambient air from the cabin through them, no air conditioner tubing is run to the seats. I agree that they work well, just a point of clarity.

    So I guess if you have groceries in the back... maybe shouldn't try pulling wheelies? I don't know about you KCars dude... that's a nice Z06 you have there, but I don't think you know what you're talking about! Just today... I bought my 2016 Z06. This is my 5th Corvette now. I traded in my 2014 C7 Stingray which was a stick. In fact, all of my previous Vettes were stick. My new Z06 is an automatic... which I'm not that happy about, but it's fully loaded... and bad ass. And after having driven it around for a couple of hours today, I can't tell you guys how happy I am that I bought this car. I am truly stunned at how much better this is than my Stingray... and I'm not just talking about the fact that there is considerable more horsepower. The overall ride quality is sssoooo much better... I don't know what to think about that. My Stingray was nice... I bought it with 17K miles on it, and I was very happy with it. But it did seem to have a slight bit of "clanky" to it... I mean like when you hit small bumps and stuff... noises and vibrations... I always thought that it should be a little better... I mean I paid 50K for it. But my Z06 is like a dream come true... feels well built, tight... rock solid and such an incredible experience to drive! I'm SO HAPPY that I bought this car!! And it's very very comfortable to drive... I could drive it for hours on end with no back problems at all... so I don't know what you're talking about. But just wanted all you guys out there to know that you should not second guess a Z06 purchase. What an awesome machine! :-)

Fun, good looking. but after an hour on the road, my back is screaming. I roll to get out. 9 Bose speakers... inferior. My daughter drove it 30 minutes and her butt went to sleep. Had to stop and get out for a bit. Having said that, I'm looking for a Zo6 2016-2019. If I'm going to loose religion getting in and out of the car, at least I want to go fast.

    I bought my 2016 Corvette from a guy whose back hurt after driving. I have a 2016 Shaker Challenger also. It's a pain to get in and out. (69yo) Challenger and Vette ride the same. Challenger has 18 speaker Hardon Karmon. Vette 9speaker Bose. Vette has more road noise. Hence the sound is better in Challenger. Cam take 3 or 4 friends in the Challenger. If you run errands in the Vette, you'll be loosing religion after climbing in and out 5 times. I let my daughter drive the Vette, after about 20 miles she said her legs were going to sleep. I enjoy the Challenger better.

    since Ive never owned a c7 I dont know how the dash should transition...it seems fine to me with a 2 sec lag..no big deal but the other c7 owners here say its definitely slow so heres my advice: since its computer controlled, try pulling off the negative battery cable and clear the ecu
    ..its like rebooting a computer when its acting up.. that may be all ur vette needs as far as sluggish instruments..when u pull the cable, step on the brake pedal for 30 secs to drain any juice stored in the system.. when U reconnect the battery, ur settings in the radio will be lost and back to default but it may fix things.
