It's pretty much Z06 conviertible.
Car has some bolts on like full intake and exhaust and stage 2 cam. It's making 625HP

I drove a couple LS3 corvettes before being completely blown away by my Z06 that I have now. Yes, you have to do the heads. Yes, you should address the oil starvation issues. Once I have finished those upgrades I will have a pretty badass Corvette that I will be able to enjoy for years to come
That being said too many people act like the $15,000 difference between buying the z06 and fixing the problems with the ls7 is not a big deal. That's like half the price of a grandsport with the ls3 that doesn't need the fixes.

man, here in germany you're lucky to get a grand sport for 40k... euros 😔😂
Got my OEM upgraded Lingenfelter heads done this year, and now drive (Rusty) my Atomic Orange Z. No longer nervous to drive this splendid rocket once again :-) Cheers from Canada.
Could build a 416 for the Grandsport LS3 and be under that $15,000 + fixes difference by a ton@@Chillin4030

there is a replacement for displacement. it's called forced induction my guy

Got my fist corvette with LS3 by A&A, completely built engine, transmission, full bolt on, water methanol putting out 713 bhp. (100-200 5.8 sec with dragy) Would love to experience a z06, was always my Dreamcar in my childhood.
whats the 60-130 thats what people care about. I know thats close it kph but it aint the same
@@thesteeners I live in Germany, therefore i measured with 100-200 kph. A stock C6 ZR1 takes around 6,9 seconds 100-200. I didnt measure the 60-130 mph time, but also something in the lower 6 seconds.
@@Asbasnowe hell yeah man I bet everyone is obsessed with your car over there, definitely gotta be the best sounding lol
@@thesteeners yeah, it was imported, therefore I am able to drive it legally with all the mods... It's almost impossible for example, to drive long tube headers legal here. All the new cars have OPFs and 4 cylinders, so even my vacuum cleaner sounds better.. Really sad...

The LS3 is perfection already, but then there is even more than that, in the LS7…..
Such legendary hi-po performance engines.
LS7's main flaw is the valve's dropping. Needs new heads to prevent the engine from blowing up
@@zerohr8515Not new heads just new valves/guides in the existing heads is all.

Honestly amazes me how nobody in this car’s entire development process realized the interior would look much nicer if the stitching on the door and dashboard lined up instead of just ending next to each other
Tf is wrong with you bringing that to light. I’m never gonna unsee it now.
Americans aren’t exactly good at making nice car interiors.
@@T6Demo sorry 😓
@@rexthewolf3149 true.. even caddys are kinda meh
They knew they'd never get it to line up properly so they didn't even try.
Although I haven't driven a ls7, I do drive a cammed ls3 that puts 500hp to the rear tires. I wouldn't want to drive anything under 500 anymore. It's that good.
Yes. It will go down as one of GM’s greatest engines. Full top end gets ya well into 600whp and the torque that goes along with it. That is motor. No power adder. Fantastic.
👍💪🇺🇸🦅
Rest in peace to the clutch for the “downshifts”.
Nice c6 though.
yea seriously 😂 this guy cant drive
This looks like the perfect amount of useable fun power. Looks like a blast I’m jelly
That sound!! ❤ I know its archaic technology, but there is nothing like a bigger cube pushrod V8.
Couldnt agree more that the 427ci LS7 is a beast. Its why I'm building my 2010 GS LS3 into a high comprossion 416 NA stroker to get damn near the same power with 10x the reliability. I could boost mine but i dont like the heat soak from the blower. Personal preference really.
(((turbo)))
Lord. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these
Valid point, until the LS7 drops a valve, and the motor goes boom..... or the poorly coated Ti rods rub together and eventually the engine goes boom, than all of a sudden that LS3 looks really really appealing.....
Exactly! Luckily never had any issues with mine, but I sure know a good amount of people personally who have had one or the other happen.
That's why you have it fixed before it happens. Common sense
This guy reads things on the internet and has never driven a z06. Beta male BS.
@@carado1984 I owned a 2010 Z06 for 3 years so yea.... The heads are machined incorrectly from the factory, the Ti rod coating rubs off in time due to the ti rods flexing, GM cheaped out on the coating. I loved that car alot... but man the engines unfortunately have alot of issues. It is what it is but most people have zero clue about alot including your self.
@@snowlessSTI beta.
This one seems a bit tuned up from stock, but I enjoy mine. My car is a 2007, and the wear shows mostly in paint, seats and headlights, and the lack of options it came with ( no heated seat, no bluetooth, etc.. ) . Always thought about just upgrading within the C6 family, since they go all the way to 2013. It will be funny, if I absolutely have to upgrade just to get better non-engine things. It would be fun to drop to LS3 and have a convertible C6. I mean the 1/4 mile listings for the C7Z are better by an error factor. at least "on paper". But I am starting to want one, just for the car wrapped around the LT4 motor. Especially in red. You walk by one in a parking lot, and it just bathes you in red for hours. Thanks.
Yeah he said it has around 625 HP this thing is a monster I love it
5.3l blew in my rcsb Silverado and I’m replacing it with a 6.2 with LT4 pistons and forged crank with a nice maggie sitting on top. Build will finish by the end of year. Looking to put down 600whp
I went from heads cam z06 590whp I built to a GS that I'm building heads cam with 2300 blower and I enjoy it way more as something to drive around often. ls7 z06 gave me issues with oil leaking out side main caps, the valve guides wearing, and last but not least the titanium rods rubbing and causing titanium dust in the oil which eventually caused bearing wear that dropped oil pressure. Love the c6 z06 but all the issues I had made me ready to move on. Hearing some blower whine on the ls3 and making 680whp on 93 pump.
Hey man you got to rev match when down shifting in that car when you let the clutch do it your forcing the transmission and clutch to bring the motor speed up which stresses a lot of the drivetrain but more so then drivetrain wear it will throw off the balance of the car in speed or corners and can easily cause you to spin out in high torque applications.
For those concerned about "my experience" i drive a ZLE 6MT and never use auto rev match but i learned on an 07 TL ;)
100%
In a Car like that downshifting without Rev Matching is extrem Dangerous.
That C6 zo6 is a freaking monster it's has so much low end TQ ! And power through out the rpm 's just a shear pleasure to drive
*sheer
@@dr.jillalicecooper2587 you got my point
Just a Reminder to ALL POTENTIAL C6 Z06 BUYERS..... *Get the Heads checked/or fixed before playing*..... 💯
Best corvette ever made alongside the C6 ZR1 🐐. Buddy needs to learn some revmatching though 😭
Yeah, that was painful.
Yeah that was some real bad driving
They are a dream to own and drive. Only N/A I’ve ever been in that pulls like a turbo car. IMO tho the transmission gearing is the best part about a c6z. You rarely gotta shift but can lug it around town in 4th which goes to 160mph. Insane cars!
Sheeesh, that save at 0:57 shows you know this car well. Props 👏🏼🔥
The fact that he had to save it at all shows he doesn't.
dude cant even rev match his own downshifts bruh
I did buy a c6 grand sport with the specific intentions of putting a centri supercharger on it. Regardless ls7 is great.
respect for not accelerating next to that person
LS7 is magic!
85 in first gear is CRAZY!!!🎉🎉❤
its in kph
Still… it’s 62 mph in first is what it is. 4th is 160mph
My car has a LS2 all i can say. Your carIs god dam that is seriously good acceleration.
LS seven is my preferred engine. But I still want a 2650 supercharger.
3rd gear and already at the end of the speedo is crazy
Questionable shifts, godlike sound
the potential for this video was so high. Them blips would've been bliss
That looks like fun!
Sport car at it's finest
I like the premise of your upload. It's true! But that one is not stock !! Still, they are awesome and I have one in my 2014 Z28 Camaro.
One gear pull from 10-70? Holy shit, that's one hell of a 2nd gear and one hell of a engine to pull it that quick.
Speedo is off, probably put gears in it and didn't calibrate speedo
@@Broncofivepointslow Logical enough explanation, but with electronically managed setups, I should think this might produce a check engine light.
You guys do realize it's in km/h mode right.... Most car guys would notice the Speedo almost maxing out in second and come to that conclusion
@@TheOnlyTwitchR6 Good eye. I'm used to US units that show both with MPH dominantly to the outside. Still, I just realized that 70 km/h is roughly 43-45 mph and this is actually in 1st gear, not 2nd. My '84 Regal non-turbo 3.8 with 2.41 gears would do 40-45 in first gear, too, but it wouldn't get there in 1-2 seconds with wheel hop.
good driver
Amazing
Such a bad ass vette!
LS7 is no joke but LS3 is 🤴 for me. Durability = more value. I love my GS
I agree I have owned the C6zo6 that was an 2008 and lil rough around the edges it was road hard and I drove it hard too had lots of issues due to piss poor shops but now I have a 2012 GS 4LT and it already had the C7 style headlights and LED rears plus bunch of carbon fiber under hood two tone seats magnetic ride double din stereo with back up camera two roofs one is carbon fiber. Just did ARH headers Haltech intake and tuned it's an A6 with the NPP exhaust sounds good runs good is reliable. Maybe a stage 2 cam n stall later on but might just leave it be kinda over the whole racing thing.
LS7 is sick
How about a ls3 with a procharger
That sounds sooooooo fucking good!
I'd take just being that guy on the side of the road that got a free fly-by
This is hard for me, I liked my ls3 car more in a lot of ways over the z06 but the looks and the ls7 is a good combo, really disliked how tall the gears were in the z06 and worrying about the engine issues made me not live the car, but comparing engines when running the ls7 is much better, would I rather own one long term probably not
It’s crazy that this has the same steering wheel as my Subaru.
Is that a mph guage set to kmph?
Did bro downshift without rev matching?
I built up a 6.0L for my truck. Realized by the end of it all for not much more I could have built up a 7.0 gen III... Kind of kicking myself for not doing the 7.0L
I planned on keeping moving up with corvettes but I stopped at the C6Z
That looked like a sketch road to be doing pulls on. lol Other than that, sounds beautiful!!
That's true but supercharge that LS7 with magnusson and keep it safe at 600 rwhp and it is even better.
Then, I went to a C7Z automatic and truth be told I missed the LS7 manual still. What a great engine and trans package.
The auto in the C7Z was only great at WOT.
If you have a C6Z I suggest keeping it.
I feel like I could drive that road at those speeds in my crown vic and be just as stable
Best sounding American engine
Check engine light?
Is that steering wheel aftermarket?
is your speedometer off?
I disagree. I have owned a 2008 C6zo6 H/C/I full bolt ons 430 cubic inch 600 whp was procharged before made 770 whp was actually scary boosted. Long story short car was fun but the shops I took it to were not the best had lots of issues ended up selling due to constant problems. From there had a C7 Stingray supercharger full bolt on 620 whp ran low 11s at stupid high destiny altitude in Albuquerque NM put it in wall at dragstrip got complacent and forgot to put track control back on driver error anyways hard lesson learned but now back to a 2012 C6 Grand Sport because I prefer the C6 over the C7 this is my 4th Vette. Just got through doing ARH headers Haltech intake and tuned in aA6 4lT Crystal Red coupe car that is a lot of fun has the NPP exhaust and sounds great. I don't plan on going too much more power been there done that but honestly I think it boils down to personal preference I have owned manuals and can bang gears have lots of videos of races but after time I have become content with a comfy cruiser that has some sound and lil giddy up. I dig the removable top of a Grand Sport vs the fixed roof of a Zo6 don't get me wrong the Zo6 is a great car and runs strong but in my opinion the LS3 is a great motor and better for boost than an LS7 for longevity anyway. I like LS motors better than the LTs for sure
I also live in Albuquerque. I have been shopping for a Z06 C6, but after reading up and seeing everyone's experiences on boosting the LS7, I will be going the GS route.
Also, what is the best shop in Albuquerque to work on these cars?
C6 Z06 will be my next car. Too much money into my 98 Z28 to get rid of it though.
Oh I’m satisfied with the LS3 variant: the LS9!
My car has an ls7 in it, but now has a lq4 forged bottom end, supercharged, btr cam, and on Meth. I can say they feel different, but I wouldn't say the LS7 made me not like my set up now. If I build a 69 Camaro next, I will probably go with an LS3 boosted.
I've seen LS2 Vettes, are they even worth buying?
Isn’t the LS7 made of glass if you add power?
Hell yea
That stering wheel need some Alignment .
What's up with the speedo..??
I always wanted to build a C6 Z06. I ended up with a C7 Z06, and that shit stock was fucking scary fast.
Which country is this
No rev-matching at high rpm, nice
😂
Now imagine if it had 4 valves per cylinder.
? what? even 1.8L toyota engines has 4 valves per piston 🤣😂😂
lol this looks like a road in Carnation, WA that I used to rip on.
I'll take that bet. 🙂
Me too. All day every day.
Until the ls7 grenades....
But ya its an awesome motor other than that
Head work is a must have.
Yeah but even talking about the McMurtry spierling makes me not wanna ever mod 🤣
Drove a supercharged grand sport and felt like I didn’t need a z06 after that
From the outside looking in. Ls7 isn't so common. You have the heads issues and durability of the rods. Ls3 can be built to a similar power level and you can always make a stroker ls3.
In a car as light as the ‘vette, the power of an LS3 is still enough to have fun with in my opinion
@SaucerClone even a worked 6.0 is enough. You can get an ls2 to 500 crank hp which is what the ls7 makes. You'll just be lacking the tq from a 400 cube motor
You could get them to 600 HP with aftermarket heads such as the AFR235 and TFS235 and a good cam. Change the rear gear to match the powerband.@@swappedoutZ71
@@dennisrobinson8008 yes they can be taken to 600 or higher I was just saying you could get it to stock ls7 hp level and have a SIMILAR feel to a z06, but we all know it's not gonna feel the same as a true z. But close enough to satisfy most of us
@@swappedoutZ71 certainly especially if we been without a vette for a long time.
O kurwa, I need a whipple supercharger form my ls2
Yeehaw brother
Gentlemen and Ladies must be careful with this blessing of pure horsepower and handling when it comes to the street...To many idiots texting and applying make up etc!!! I have a Grand Sport c6 a little tweaked and it's scary what this car can do. Becareful out there .
esse cambio tremendo me assusta, sera q quebra?, parece q esticou muito cm a marcha
I'm happy with my LS3. Kinda sucks when other people tell me what I would like or what I should change. 436hp is more than enough.
Why is it in kilometers
Engine lights on!
🔥
Check engine light on but still runs like a dream? Yup, it's a GM alright
Im Sure he is talking about the sound of the ls7 cammed woth headers is more mindblowing than the ls3 is when modded
Then you haven't experienced a bolt ons ls3
Check engine!
"Yep still there"
Amazing car! But keep in mind his speedometer is set KPH. Highest speed was 105mph, not 170mph
Yeah but doesn't the speedometer go up to like 320 kph? American corvettes speedometers go up to 200 mph. If it does go up to 320kph then he was doing around 170mph.
@@victoralley708 No, the speedos are the same either way. The way it works is there are two dash lights you can switch between that say KPH or MPH. This can clearly be seen in the video that the green backlit KM/H is on. The speedo goes to 200 units of speed and can't be changed because they aren't a digital screen, just some lights behind a cutout in the instrument cluster. All it does is change how much the needle moves based on if it's set to mph or kph and the wheel speed. If it's set to kph the speedo can't measure speeds over 200 or 124 mph
Curious why the check engine light is on, can’t be too serious as you are taking it to red line repeatedly?
At that moment car was missing a bumper, both front fenders, a hood and radiators was mounted with a strap. (Check engine light was from missing sensor that is located on front bar.)
Don't worry tho. She is strong and will be road worthy soon :)
I made this statement about the Shelby. I got spoiled a couple years ago since my first mustang ride along was a 13’ GT500, I’ll never ever buy a GT
This is like how people who experience 4K cant go back to 1080p, and is a good reason I should not get a car with anymore hp than the one I currently have 300hp. It can get expensive.
Maybe not in stock form but boosted LS3 sbe a much better platform.
god that sounds fucking amazing, is it at all possible to make an ls4 sound anything similar to this??
I don't now but keep in mind the sound is socio muted do to go pro poor mic.
In life it's so much more!
Poor guy that I flying by at 180/h km/h sure notice it!
Me owning a ls2 making 450whp watching this hoping to own a z06 one day. 😭
LS3 isn’t a factory grenade….and you can get all the power you ever wanted out of it anyway.
How about a LT1
They'll be more than satisfied after putting a supercharger on
Boost = cope
I thought it was a little bizarre that second gear would pull up to 120...then I saw the gauge cluster was in kph vs mph lol.
Nobody else realized this but you.
what did u do to get 1st gear up to 80 mph instead of the stranded 60 mph
it's kmh not mph :-)
@@vladmares8128no it’s not. You think any modern era corvette came with a speedometer that goes to 200kph, which is the equivalent of 124 miles per hour? Lmao
