ZR1 if it was the manual, if the Z06 came in a manual then yes
I like both but the C7 ZR1 is the King
C’mon Mike, C7 ZR1 is the king of the road, nothing better!
What about the transmissions? If the ZR1 has the manual it's a no brainer. They already made over three times as many C8 Z06s than the ZR1. ZR1 all the way!
C7 ZR1 Corvette is the best Corvette EVER.
C7 ZR1 Corvette is the KING
Yes sir… C6 fanboys bow down😤
C7 zr1 is the best. But the c6 zr1 is the greatest. That is what started it all.
czcams.com/video/V7uEC327D_Y/video.htmlsi=H9X-qLaOycWVdYPs
@@camonly849 that title goes to the C3 Zr1 which literally started it all. You also can’t discount the C4 Zr1 which was actually the first Vette to take it to the Europeans. C6 Zr1 was also great but I think it’s extremely overrated in terms of being significantly praised more than the other Zr1s.
@@EJleon96 spot on. There have been other ZR1 variants before the C6. That said, I found the C6 to be one of the most exhilarating experiences for me. If it were between a C6 ZR1 and a C7 Z06, I would pick the former and not the latter.
ZR1, last front engine pushrod, just cam it, 2650 can be bumped up to 1000 hp and will give a tesla plaid a pace maker heart attack and overload on a pull.
We also have a Tesla Plaid. My ZR1 wont beat it off the line. It’s close though. The quarter mile time is also close but the Tesla is a shade quicker. I am not looking to start a debate but only sharing my first hand experience. LMR is local to me. They’re doing a 1200 HP package. I bet that would put the ZR1 over the top for the quarter mile. Of course you take a hit long term on your investment as you’ve now altered the car. The trade offs…
Last point, the Tesla can’t handle like the ZR1.
Thanks for sharing you lucky dog!
The C8 would be the choice if I had to leave it stock. It hooks AND books. The C7 ZR1 is no slouch though.
C7 ZR1 is on top for sure, and proven bullet proof.
Give me the ZR1 all day everyday !!!!!
Robert is the best. What a great exhaust impression😂. I'm a traditionalist with the front engine Corvette so, the 19 Zr1 is for me.
No brainer C7 ZR1. ALL DAY EVERY DAY
ZR1 all day long!
C7 ZR1 ALL DAY LONG! IT’S TRULY A BEAST!
W/ A manual that car kept low mileage is going to trend big time in the future..big time!
The c7zr1. All day my friend 💯💯💯💯💯
Between these two...the 2019 ZR1 hands down. #2801 😉
#2392 here. I have both and I agree 100%.
When comparing lap times at VIR, you have to remember that the C8 Z06 Z07 time used Cup2R tires. Those tires are way better than the Cup2s on a 2019 ZR1 ZTK. It has been proven to be 3.5-4 seconds faster at VIR. Thus, a C7 ZR1 ZTK with Cup2Rs is vastly faster at VIR than the times that were disclosed (Considering equal drivers). Furthermore, put those tires on a C7 Z06 Z07 and it equals the time at VIR as a C8 Z06 Z07.
Different tracks are going to benefit each car, if there's long straight the C7 will out do it but a tighter track w/ shorter straights I'd go w/ A C8. Don't forget we have yet to see the new ZR1.
@@richardmorris7063 Regardless of whatever track you go to, tires make a HUGE difference on any and all tracks. The Cup2R tires are a huge improvement over the Cup2s that the C7 ZR1 uses - That tire was developed in 2013. On top of that, there are advantages and disadvantages to each platform (FME, RME, RE). The C8 needs a lot of camber to turn - GM recommends 2.5 degrees which is a lot and guys are running even more than that.
Zr1 all day.
I think we would all love the blower!
Every stat says C7ZR1. The market is saturated with Z06s and very little ZR1s. Look at the C6ZR1 prices
Rob’s imitation was spot! Joe Lamb
lol, it really was actually 😂
C7 ZR1 is better then a C8 Z06 any day of the week
For driving give me the C8 ZO6 all day long…for a collectible or investment the C7 ZR1 is King
Actually for driving ill go ERay,just my personal choice. Slightly more luxury ride & I love that sound.
The 6.2 is a pushrod v8, not overhead cam
So?
C7 C7 C7 C7 !!!
ZR1. Robert ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂.
That c8 will never out live the zr1
ZR1 all the way! Also 7 Speed Rev Match!!!! Real car shit!
I can’t deny my love for a good blower either.
The ZR1. Jay Leno ran one at 214 mph at the GM test track. The C8 ZO6 doesn’t come close.
I don't think anyone really cares about the top speed; even on a track, the chances of going 180, let alone 200 are slim to none
@@peterjordansonthe2nd731Not true. It's about bragging rights. A friend of my bought a Ferrari 812 Superfast, a friend of his bought an Aventador S. The first thing the guy said who owns the 812 was you got me beat in the top speed department 211 mph vs 217 mph.
@danv8717 what someone says their car will do and how fast they'll actually take it are night & day.
Anyone can talk the talk, you have to walk the walk.
@@danv8717 Cool Story Bro; neither of them will ever drive either car at max speed. So once again, irrelevant
@@danv8717 you’re comment has nothing to do with Corvettes. Look up the episode on Jay Leno’s Garage.
C7 all day!
Love the video. Robert is a wealth of knowledge. He knows his shit
Awesome, I’m happy you enjoyed it!
Tough call, but I’ll go with the manual ZR1.
Zr1
ZR1!
I’ll take the ZR1 please.
Drove both C7 and C8 Z06's, but never a ZR1. I can say the C8 is much more planted and it shits and gits whereas a C7 gets all squirrelly out back and you have to finesse it to get traction all while losing time. The C8 is much much easier to drive fast With little to no drama doing so. I'd take the C8 products over the C7 versions as traction is king on the road. Would honestly love to own both though!
Mike, first of all, Robert’s knowledge of everything Corvette never ceases to amaze me. He is like a walking encyclopedia. The video was very informative, and seemed to be an extremely fair and honest comparison between two amazing cars. So many obvious differences in these two generations yet very similar performance numbers. I love them both, and am looking forward to getting this ZR1. It has always been a bucket list car for me and the timing finally worked out. I guess a big question for me is if and how much the C8ZR1 ups the ante and what the price for admission will be. The bigger question is whether or not I will be able to get an allocation. As always, thanks for the amazing video and content! 💪🇺🇸
Yep, he has forgotten more about Vettes than I ever knew. Again, congratulations on getting your dream car Doug! You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💪😊
I agree. Robert is a wealth of knowledge on all things Corvette related. I could only dream of having someone of his caliber at the Houston location. This is an indication of how all it takes is one person to make a difference. Robert is that person. Enjoy your car. The saddest day for me was when I sold my first ZR1. What I replaced it with was fun, but just not the same. I was able to make it right, it just took a little while
@@RobZelinka Thank you, Sir. It appears to be a good specimen.
Hey Doug, did I hear you bought a ZR1, this very car? I’ve been away/off line for a while from CZcams. If you got a ZR1, this one or another, YOU DID A GREAT THING IMO, AND HAVE A CAR YOU CAN ENJOY, A PIECE OF HISTORY & A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!
I hope I soon get an allocation for a ZO6. What’s going on with production? I’m #1 at my local dealership where I got my 2022 Red Mist HTC Z51 2LT Front Lift Mag Ride GT2 Seats Tow Hook Liner Package Battery Package for ERay, ZO6 & ZR1. I’ve sort of decided to pass on the ERay (I hear that Electronic Whine when power is initiated and it does little for me, actually I hate it!) and if I go for the ZO6, I will spec,it as close to the aforementioned 2022, but in Riptide Blue. Then, should the ZR1 allocation be received by my dealership, I would try to sell the ZO6 (According to my tentative build with taxes and out the door price of around $144,000, but I’d add PPF & CC for an additional $8,000; so I’m all in at just over $150,000 😳.
Damn, who in their Right Mind would ever pay $150K for a car that doesn’t literally fly?). I’m 69, and as long as my wife keeps working for the next few years (She’ll be 65 this year and doesn’t want to totally retire, she’s a Dr. we should be able to swing it as long as the Market doesn’t take a Big Tumble like 2008-2009.).
Then, depending on my health “the P. C.”, then especially my eyesight, mind set and driving ability, I need to step back and see if it’s a “Good Fit”? Wish I was 20 years younger, how about you?
Then there’s “Buyer’s Remorse”. We tend to buy New Cars over Old Ones, and I go through that down in the dumps feeling just about every time, no it’s every time lol. We always seem to be ok, we pay the bills on time, but in the back of my mind I still have those thoughts.
Well, I’m anxious to hear from you, if in fact you did buy or are buying a ZR1?
Take care, see you soon on one of the Corvette Live Channels😀
Happy Easter and have a Fabulous Weekend
$150K buys an awful lot of Chocolate Bunnies
@@kerry_glock Hello, Doug! Great to see you back and hearing from you! Yes Sir, I bought that ZR1. It has just over 3100 miles, one-owner, with a clean CarFax. I would love to talk with you about my current and future car plans. I don’t know if Mike Brink has your phone number or not, but he does have mine and you are welcome to get that from him and give me a call anytime. Mike got me connected with General Lee when my wife and I moved to VA, and we have become pretty good friends. I would pass my number to you here, but I don’t want Taylor Swift to get my number and keep harassing me with phone calls. 😂
ZR1
ZR1 sound better.
The C7 for sure👍👍👍👍
Wish I could afford both nice video can't go wrong with either one it's just a personal preference no right or wrong choice
C7 ZR1 for me.
That Flat Plane Crank Tho!🔥
Both collectors items. ZR1 is rarer, the Z06 is midengine with more advanced engineering.
I would take the c7 zr1 all day. I wouldn't mind a flat plane crank if it sounded better, but they just don't sound that good to me. The c8z should have had a 427 high rpm motor in it.....but what do I know. Take that euro exotic shit and can it.
I had a 16 z06 and drive my owners zr1 at that time !!! Didn’t like the whine sound it was amazing but !!! I drove my z06/z07 yesterday gonna pick it up today! No comparison!! It will be like parking Denny Hamlin number 11 in my garage! I could be wrong it’s just my feeling whiskies worth about 30 cents these days !! In reality who cares we r blessed to own any of them ! I have a my second c8 stingray now today will be my 3rd !! So blessed
Maybe because I’m a C7 owner. I still like the Zr1 over the C8 Zo6
To me it’s not about the sound. I just think the C7 series of corvette looks better.
To make a slightly similar comparison, I always preferred the look of the early C3 models over the entire C4 series
This is my car, and I love it!
It’s always great when Robert is in your videos adds a little flare to them, the standard stingrays are good with me. I don’t need to be driving that fast more. it is nice to hear about the hire horsepower units though. Thank you, Robert and mr. Daddio
C7 ZR1 the last Monster🤩
Great video as usual Mike!
Thank you Steve! 💪
The sounds are depending on what you like low and deep or high pitch!
Lol he nailed the ZR1 exhaust sound!
Give me the C8 Z06; that’s my medicine!
Just got my C8 ZO6 with ZO7 pkg! Simply the Best Vette made so far, Can't wait for C8 ZR-1!!
Rear spoiler ill go w/ C8, interiors have improved quite a bit each gen.
Great job greats. Good points made.
That C8 with the black and red drippage is sick🎉
The CF on the SC aged better than the CF on the Steering Wheel 😅
C7 was and is the perfect corvette for me.
Long term, the C7 ZR1 is a better investment. It’s the last of its kind.
While the C8 Z06 is a marvel, it will see its value fall quickly once the C8 ZR1 is released.
All that to say, I won’t be selling my C7 ZR1 anytime soon, and also won’t be buying a C8 Z06 anytime soon. I will be a buyer once the ZR1 is released. I am more than happy to let someone else take the financial hit.
What color is your ZR1, and is it M7 or A8? How long have you had it and how many miles are on it?
@@doughooks7411 My C7 ZR1 is Ceramic Matrix Grey. It's 1 in 11 with that configuration. It has a little over 3400 miles on it. I have had it for almost 5 years now.
Very nice. I have always wanted one and when this one popped up on the radar I decided to do it. I would have preferred the wheels to remain the original color but it was not a deal breaker for me. I also have a ‘24 Z06 and a 60th Anniversary Edition Z06. Looking forward to having this ZR1 for a long time.
@@doughooks7411 Congratulations. I too would have preferred to maintain the original wheels as now it's technically not the same car it was from the factor. If that doesn't matter to you, all the better.
I sold my 93 ZR1 for a Hellcat. I enjoyed the Hellcat but I missed the ZR1. I sold it with 3200 miles on it. Sold the Hellcat and bought the 2019 ZR1. It will be with me for as long as I am here.
True but even Sting Rays from 2020 are still selling darn close to what they were. I don't think I've seen anything for under 65k.
Smashed !!!!!!!!
No need for a tape measure, I'm real good at size estimations, those wings are easily 4 to 5 feet tall....
C7 zr1 any day , what an amazing car, both are awesome cars but the zr1 is the king..
I like my interior on the C8 Stingray 70th Anniversary better than the C8 Z06 but that’s it The track C8 Z06 is amazing looking ! Good vid thanks guys
@ 3:50, the LT5 is not a Single Overhead Cam engine. It only has one camshaft located in the center of the engine.
Also reacted . That's pure bs everybody who knows GM powertrains know it's ohv since the 50's. Thought this was common sense on this channel. Fuck flat plane 327
Zr 1 all day. How much
Sold. $159,995.
@@corvetteworldrob8586 Holy s*&t, I can't afford it anyways. Congrats to the owner, beautiful car, I love it.
get both
YES!
You don’t need the dive plane on the ZR1 as it has more weight up front. I have the ZR1 splitter on my ZO6 and I know it’s rock solid at 180 mph. Continental’s aren’t as wide at the same size as Michelin. Conti’s are rounded off and Michelin’s are squared off.
I’d personally prefer the monster of the C7 ZR1
ZR1. ✊🏼🇺🇸 what color is that on the C7?
Shadow gray.
ZR1 is way more rare! That would be a tough choice if I had to make it. I probably go with the Z06 just because I love the sound of it and I like the looks of it and it gets traction😂
Who would be dumb enough to take a hundred grand, that car could sell for a buck fifty in a weekend .
C7 for the win here. Actually I'd rather own a C7Z and modify it than own the C8Z or C7ZR1.
Still take the ZR1
The C6 ZR1 is the best looking Corvette ever made! This C7 ZR1 also looks way better than the non looking like a Corvette C8
C6 ZR1 FTW 😎
I love my 2023 z06 and C7Z. I wish i had the window to buy the zr1 c7 but i ended up doing a twin turbo setup on the C7Z so I saved money ironically lol. No warranty but thats car fan life. Hopefully the procharger setup on my C8Z will bring back some equal or better performance against the turbocharged C7Z. I can not wait till they unlock our TCM.
C8 Z06 for me. The engine inside of it is the best and last of its kind, and is incredibly unique in the era of forced induction cars. Per Tadge, the Z06 will also be faster than the C7 ZR1 over the course of a full track session, puts its power down better, and is better balanced overall due to its mid-engine set up.
The ZR1 is a monster, though! It’s a special car, as is the Z06, but for me, I would definitely choose the latter. That LT6 is an engineering masterpiece. Wannabe Ferrari? No, it’s an American Ferrari.
I think your logic is sound. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it. The Z06 is also likely the last of its kind too. That said, I still feel it will lose some value once the ZR1 hits the market.
All that aside, Ferrari did make a car which was meant to be marketed in the US, it was called the California edition. It was quite lacking in my opinion and suffered from reliability issues.
If I am in the market for a Ferrari, and I just may be one day, I'm buying the mid-engine variety. An F8 or a 488 Pista. Of course these cars are in a different realm all together.
@@RobZelinka Well said! And definitely agreed on the Ferrari, though I am smitten by their front engined V12s also. A mid engine V8 Ferrari, or even the 296 would be an absolute dream to own.
America doesn't need a ferrari.
I think the c8z definitely corners and handles better, but the power of the zr1 helps it with laptimes. I'm sure if they ran the c8z for a whole day and sought out the best lap time it could eventually beat it. But the c7 zr1 still has a quicker laptime than a c8z at big willow and VIR. Chevy really should have tried to get a lap at the ring as this car is 100% a sub 7 minute car....and just think the zr1 came with cup 2s and not cup 2Rs....what a pitty....
I just worry about longevity in a high winding motor,plus that being the last manual transmission car is going to double in value,watch..
More straight piped Robert exhaust.
C7 all day
C8 platform has a plethora of problems especially with the DCT and it is not getting fixed. This is going to be a bigger issue than the ls7 dropping valves.
If you want absolute exclusiveness then it’s the C7 ZR1…that is the king until the C8 ZR1 enters the conversation…if I was going to the track, it’s probably the C8 ZO6
Holy grail c7 zr1 just my opinion
They are both 🆒 how about that?
Man I love both 👍🏾
If your going to compare C7s to C8s, then compare straight across ZR1 to ZR1…..come on
c7 zr1 sounds better and is available with a manual transmission... I'll take the c7, thanks
Is 2 phenomenal cars
I like the c7 minus that big wing but the c8 is absultly stunning
C7 ZR1 without a doubt !!!!!!!!!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
I know everybody saying the ZR1 but I'd literally have to drive both of them to figure that out and who knows when that day is coming
I like the blue Corvette convertible it looks very nicer than the black one.
Canard: Sir, respectfully, that's pronounced kuh-NARD, not KAN-yerd. 😉🙏
The flat plane crank has no bottom end torque. You have to ring its neck all the time to extract the power.
Zr1 all day long
Z06 for me.
C8Z is in its own league
ZR1 sounds great
C8 Z06 Game changer
I agree 💯 but we're all part of a dynasty called " Corvette"
Uh I always wanted a zr1 but that C8 is sick
c7 zr1 ... front engine all day
