- In this video I give a few reason why you shouldn't go from a Z06 or to a ZR1 and I give some reason why you should... Also we do several pulls between a Stock ZR1 and a Stock Z06 so that you can see the difference. Now the Z06 is a Manual so when we do the pulls I put my ZR1 in Manual and use the paddle Shifters.

This is a really informative video about two cars I can’t afford 😂
All gotta start somewhere fam
Lmaoo guys i thought we all were here to learn what's better xd
Dude I used too think the same thing until one day I decided I wanted it too be a reality. Just grind hard for it everyday and don’t give up. It took me 5 years too save up for a corvette but it was ALL worth it in the end. Trust me!!
Work that over time boss & side hustle you’ll be washing be one in your driveway every Sunday 🙏🏼
If you have either the z06 or zr1 you are very blessed both are amazing cars! Great video 👍🏻
Totally agree 👍🏻😎
Absoulty!! Nothing to be upset about if you are lucky enough to either one of these vettes!! Awesome video as well!!
@@Corvettes918 is it possible to afford a zr1 off of 103k a year?? I know there is 1000 variables. But if you made 103k could you afford a zr1
The Z06 is a Beast. The ZR1 is a Monster! I would love to have either.
@@convex7456 @convex yes ofc you can afford a car for 100k if you make 100k a year... its called financing. Chevy is a manufacter that targets the masses, the average guy. Basically anybody that has a job and works hard can buy a Corvette. Unless you already have a big debt is other places, like if you ow for a house and another 3 cars or maybe you gotta pay child support or anything, then it might not be a good idea too put yourself in even more debt. but if your single working man thgat doenst ow a mortgage, you can buy a corvette. I bought a Corvette and then I lost my job, and now my welfare checks alone pay for my months car bill. im lucky tho and I dont gotta pay for rent every month. THIS IS AMERICA YOU CAN BUY ANYTHING YOU WANT HERE.
You can see how the ZR1 Jumps on the Z06 at the point of the Z06’s gear shift due to the ZR1’s 750 hp and longer lasting 7 speed. Other than that, the gain that the ZR1 has over the Z06 During acceleration is very small. Z06 definitely still packs a heck of a punch.
zr1 is an 8speed autom!!!!
Would like to see Z06 Auto vs ZR1 Manual. l think the ZR1 would still win, but would be a closer race than this!
Hy Chuck, I had a permanent smile this entire video. Two amazing cars side by side, and guarantee some folks who were looking at the Z06 changed their mind after that pull footage lol. Always great content, Chuck.
Thanks for stopping by Nehemiah it was allot of fun out there tearing up some road in these amazing Corvettes. They are both amazing vettes 👍🏻😎
Just hearing the roar of those engines.....brings a smile to my face.
I loved that as well while editing 👍🏻😎
As quick as the Z06 is....It was amazing to see how easily your ZR1 pulled it at every MPH and the Z06 is no slouch! It is a tribute to the ZR1 heritage as to how well it performed.
Thanks to you and your friend for not only taking the time, but to put your Vette’s thru the paces for us to watch the comparison.
Excellent video Chuck Thanks ! Bob in Richmond Va.
Thank you Bob glad you enjoyed the video. We had a blast shooting the video and huge thanks to Joe who came out and helped.
Wow I was just researching this earlier today and you upload it thanks, great vid chuck👍
Thank You!!!!!! Finally a good comparison video between those two awesome cars. Both are great buys for the amount of car you get for the money.
Great info, my friend and well done! Those "pulls" had to have been a blast, too.
Thanks Steve, we had a blast shooting this video. Both are amazing Corvettes for sure.
Love the video and the pics of my ZR1 and Z06 C7.R. Great comparison of these two awesome cars. By the way. The C7.R is for sale! :-)
Your channel is awesome. See you in January
So we just gonna act like he wasn’t using autotune in the first clip
Lmao
Yoooo, he really is🤣🤣🤣
The ZR1 is cool but since I don't do any racing and live an area where traffic is daily it's not something I want. Even the Z06 is way too much power that could ever be used in a congested area. My GS is just right. ;-) Nice vid Chuck!
I agree 🙂
I purposely bought the Grand Sport instead of the Z because the power would be too tempting to use above 120+ mph on public streets. Got the Z07 option for the handling on the twisties and for the reduced brake dust. For the same price, got more than enough performance AND got many more options. Sometimes though, I wish I had the extra power 🙂
You are so classy. Very well spoken gentleman... I have a 2019 3LT ZO6 ZO7 package carbon fiber package. I love it when you say you just enjoy your car because there always someone faster and better skilled.
That’s a Awesome Z06 you have Reggie. That’s the best way to spec out a Z06. I appreciate you stopping by the channel. 👍🏻😎
Chuck...Thank you for this excellent review. My 2018 (M7) Z06 is helluva beast, a real thrill to shift gears, I must confess.
Drop of a hat to FEARLIS, King of the Road...Yes, the ZR1 is and remains a myth (personally, I fell in love with the C4 ZR1 in the early '90s...)
Pure happiness to see your vid's. Have a blessed week too, Buddy !
Chuck, the corvette community misses your passion and excellent content. Hope your new journey is going well and your staying safe.
2 bad ass Vetts ! Can't wait til i get mines... Great vid Chuck
Enjoyed the video Chuck, love the info!🤜🤜👀❤️
I enjoy your videos Chuck. You are pretty much the only one that has ZR1 content.
Enjoyed the video, and I never thought I would enjoy corvettes. Maybe, one day I will join the club.
My dad is purchasing a Z06 2019 in a gray this will be his 5th corvette in his lifetime and this was really helpful in a good comparison thank you always enjoy the content
Great video! This is what I’m talking about and a great ambassador for the Corvette brand! Chevrolet should have sold you one of the first ZR1’s instead of the other youtuber! Chuck, thanks for the content! I hope your channel continues to grow! I may never get a chance to own a C7 ZR1, but I get the feeling I can live vicariously through you! A true Corvette enthusiast!
Thanks Nicholas I appreciate the kind words and the ZR1 is always a click away 👊🏻
Awesome video Chuck, that ZR1 is wicked fast, I thought my Z51 was fast...… Wow.
Excellent video! Much needed. I can’t wait for my manual ZR1 coming 10/22!!
Love those 'ol chevy's!!!! lol. I think the new ZR1 is one of the finest cars ever built.I think I'm in love.
Well said!! I agree with your "Stack UP" philosophy !!!
I have to agree with Ashton for sure on those mind set. 👍🏻
Neighbor has a 2017 and 2018 Z06. He modified the 2018 to get 1350HP to the rear wheels. Unreal.
Great video Chuck, I absolutely loved it! It sucked that your camera failed you, however you pulled of the CC&T stile perfectly! That was a great way to break things down to new Corvette owners and people looking to trade up also! That is a very smart move to keep your ZR1 for ever, as it will definitely be a collectors item once the mid engine has been produced long enough, and people will seek that car out big time!
Thanks Mike, i has to pull my boy Robert out of a hat and follow that B-Roll playbook. 😂😂. Yea, the ZR1 stays no matter what. 👍🏻😎
Great video... I bet you guys had a lot of fun...and hail to the king
New subsciber here! Both beautiful cars, in the market for a z06 now just need to find the right deal hehe.
I dont understand how you dont have more followers. Your content is better than a handful of channels I can think of! You need to collaborate with some other channels to boost your subs and numbers. Once people see the light your channel would explode! Keep it up Chuck!
I do this a just a hobby. I am a small business owner than just shares what I do with Corvettes. I am sure if I did some videos with some other youtubers it would help but I just don’t have the time. I appreciate your kind words and I am honored you check out the channel. 👍🏻😎
Corvettes 918 well thank you so much for what you are doing and the amount of effort you are putting forth for us and the beautiful Corvette cinematography you get!
Thank you Mr Chuck one of the best video
Chuck great footage and information as always!! Definitely makes sense what you are saying. In any case one can not lose when it comes to a Corvette!!!!
Absolutely correct 👊🏻
HP is king, but I also feel the auto in the ZR1 contributed greatly to the results as well. I agree with you Chuck, dollar for dollar, the Z06 is a great platform and can be easily modified to match the performance of the ZR1. Thanks to your comments a few months ago, I pulled the trigger on a Z06. Specked out at $108 and some change. Can't wait for it to come in.
Have you read any of the others comments and my reply ? Allot of people are saying the same thing as you which is a great question. I have already did the same pulls against a Auto Z06 with same results. I didn’t use the auto I used the paddles because the auto slows the ZR1 down. Shifts way to fast and too much torque is lost. When you manually shift it you can take it up 6500 instead of the 6100 the computer wants to shift at. Yes the auto is naturally faster but if you just floor it and hold on it’s way closer of a race but when you shift it well you saw the results.
Congratulations on the Z06 it’s an amazing vette no doubt 👍🏻
Dude the pullaways were wicked.... Such power
LOVE THE VIDEO CHUCK, HAVE A BLESSED WEEK AND STAY SAFE
Thanks Tom 👊🏻
To even a minute in... best editing ever👌🏾👍🏾🥇
Wow chuck you nailed this one what a great video we love it yes we do thanks
Thanks Mr. Watson it was a blast to make!!
Man I think I have a new dream car😍 that ZR1 is one beautiful badass ride!
New to your channel Chuck. Just purchased a single owner 2016 3LZ ZO6/Z07...LOVE IT
Love your ZR1
Hope you keep it forever!!!!
When you realize your going 154mph, it was a bitter sweet shorter rush and you have to let off now...... that's this New ZR1's way.....
Love the intro with the music 👌👌
I just wanted to say really nice spec and option choices on each car. If I spec’d out each car the way I wanted then. I would do the exact same options on each car. Love the front window tint. Really adds to the look in a tasteful way. Anyways beautiful cars both of them. Very surprised how much faster the zr1 was. Great video. Thanks fir the fair and balanced whole picture you presented.
Thanks you sir, like you said both are equally impressive have greatly enjoyed both. 👍🏻😎
Wow ! Thanks for sharing your incite ! I would chose 'Exactly the Same Color, etc. of your ZR1 ! Awesome Taste my friend !
I love both car. At this moment I'm about to pull the trigger on a Base C5. She is a beaut!!
I’ve owned 5 Corvettes they are all bad ass you will love the C5.
Like who cannot love corvette they are so beautiful and I wonder how they would look like in the future probably a diamond
Amazing love it !!!
Chuck I want to agree with you 💯 I feel the same way as you did my dream car was a 91 ZR1. However I was 11 when the vehicle was released and I knew I wanted a 91 ZR1 as the time went on and life happened I finally was able to get a hold of a 2011 Grand Sport 3LT Z16 which I will not trade for anything in my life unless my kids needed something. But as you financially what was planned was out the door soon as I saw this car. I will most definitely not trade up, however as I type I am beginning to start the C8 fund in order to get a higher up model C8 or even the C8 ZR1 equivalent platform. Thought I would share a kids dream come true and as always great content chuck the pulls were amazing !!!
That last GS was super sweet.
Man it's a sad time to realize you'll never get that one custom car you've been waiting for forever 😭 watching for years and that zr1 is the exact look, feel, and power I've wanted. Shame it'll be done and gone by the time I can afford it, but I tip my hat to anyone able to get it and has. Corvette will always be my number one ☝️
Wow Chuck, best Corvette vídeo ever. 👍
As always Chuck, great video!
Thanks Darren 👍👊
I definitely agree, the manuals are a blast. I have a 6 speed in mine and seem to have more control, especially coming out of corners.
Great video!
Alan Easterday Chuck what do you think about the front license plates on the Corvette I'm getting a lot of drama about the front license plates on my C5 we all know we don't want to put those front license plates could you take a poll and ask how many people in several States put their front license plates on their vets just FYI I just want to know
I talk to allot of vette owners who live in states that require the front plate and what many of them say is I would rather take the chance of being pulled over and putting it on the front of my vette. I would feel the same way. But I Always tell people to do what’s comfortable to them because in the end what you think is all that matters.
ZR1 beat that Z06
They don't make a 6-speed manual in a C7
Nice job Chuck.
The zo6 drops back so much in those manual shifts. However during the pull, it's a lot closer. An a8 zo6 vs a manual zr1 would be very interesting to see. The close-ratio a8 is just such an awesome transmission for the boosted car. So fast. I've owned an a8 zo6 for over a year now after trading in my c7 manual stingray and have gotten very used to manually shifting via the paddles. After 5 sports cars all with manual transmissions, I have fallen in love with the zo6 a8. Just so fast. I leave mine in manual made 95% of the time and paddle in and out of every Apex I can find. I'm addicted. More apexes please!
Nice video man!!! Really cool, very objective and informative. 👍🏻
Thank you Nash 👍🏻
I like that you will always keep your ZR-1. I get attached to vehicles too, and would rather buy another one, as opposed trading up.
Good content Bud. Take care.
ZR1 I would buy me one 1 day
Thanks for the video
More than helping me decide zr1 v z06, you helped me decide auto v manual. Deff going to go auto with my new z06. Those manual shifts were rough, and I'm no better in my manual C6 GS.
I have a '19 ZO6/ZO7 with a manual, some mods (ported throttle body and blower, lower pulley, upgraded wires and coil packs and intake, high flow cats) and at a recent track day I consistently outran a manual ZR1, not by a lot, but by a margin. Great video, but I think a more realistic comparison would be both cars either automatic or manual. You can see in the video on each upshift the ZO6 is losing a bit of ground, I think it would be much closer with both cars similarly equipped.
You hit the nail on the head of why I will stick with the Z06. Although I would trade it for a similar manual car. Maybe just wait for the C8...🤔
Allot of people in that same train of thought 👍🏻😎
Chuck, love both of them!! Great Video!!! Stay 💯 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 mike r. in NC
I agree both are amazing 👍🏻😎
end of the day the person driving the Zo6 had the most fun :) lol Stick shift
Awesome!!! 😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Z06 in that color just looks better, especially since it matches on the rear. The front end of the ZR1 is just overly busy.
You can recolor it
Entire car is overly done
Nice video I love the Vette, it's taking me 2 yrs talk my girlfriend to get 2019, now that she has seen this video and can get the automatic cats out the bag,oh well still a Vette.
Agreed about I’d choose the zr1 . The c8 zr1 will be about 170 all decked out easily .
I am still amazed at how great and effortlessly fast my c7 z06 is and it is just mind boggling to watch that zr1 put that kind of distance between cars. That zr1 is simply a mastery of mechanical craftsmanship.
I have found myself in the same situation of purchasing a car based on the car’s merit of ending a generation as king to be dethroned before it was all said and done. My first was with the 03 SVT terminator cobra, then, dethroned by the gt500. Now, I thought the c7 would close out with the z07’s and I’m again dethroned by the return of the zr1.
I was having routine maintenance done to my z06 at the dealership I purchased it from and they had a zr1 on the floor because someone ordered and backed out of the deal. My salesman was there and offered me one hell of a deal for my z06 to trade it in but I just couldn’t; money was no object, no more than it was when I paid for my z06. I simply found the perfect car for me at the time with the 03 cobra and again with the c7 z06. Both cars were outdone by their predecessors but I got everything I wanted when I purchased the cars and non of those things merely vanished with the newer models arrivals. So, it is wonderful to see greatness continue to be created and outdone and I’m still just as proud of my cars as the days I bought them.
Fun video to marvel over such powerhouses.
Thanks for the video, but I wish you'd had a Z06 with the A8 to test against. I think the automatic was a bigger factor in these pulls than the extra 105 HP. You can see in one of your pulls where the ZR1 is just barely pulling away until the Z06 has to shift. No doubt the ZR1 will win anyway, but maybe not walk away as convincingly as it did here.
I have a 2017 Z06 A8 with only a CAI and I'm not too far away from where you are, if you want to have a more 1:1 test. I'd even be willing to put the original intake back on, or better yet try it with and without the CAI to see if there is any difference.
Have you read any of the others comments and my reply ? Allot of people are saying the same thing as you which is a great question. I have already did the same pulls against a Auto Z06 with same results. I didn’t use the auto I used the paddles because the auto slows the ZR1 down. Shifts way to fast and too much torque is lost. When you manually shift it you can take it up 6500 instead of the 6100 the computer wants to shift at. Yes the auto is naturally faster but if you just floor it and hold on it’s way closer of a race but when you shift it well you saw the results.
Corvettes 918 I was not referring using the paddles vs. letting the computer shift.
Shifting with paddles or not, the A8 has a huge advantage over the M7 in a drag race. This is reflected in Chevy's own numbers for the Z06: 2.95 seconds 0 to 60 for the A8 vs. 3.2 for the M7. That's nearly 1/4 of a second difference when both cars are driven perfectly, and there is a lot more room for error when shifting the M7.
Given two cars that are equal in all respects except for automatic vs. manual transmission, the automatic will walk the manual every time.
I'm only saying it would be nice to see some pulls between the Z06 and the ZR1 where the transmission difference is not a factor, and that means both A8s. It would be nice to see an auto Z06 vs. a manual Z06 for that matter.
Still a good video. Thanks for doing it.
Old manual. New auto. Trust me there is no other feeling like banging some gears but the new autos have come a long way. I don't care if the car makes more hp or not you can't compare a car making more hp with 8sp auto vs manual 7sp lol not a good comparison
nelno I agree if the transmissions were reversed it would be very very close if not the zo6 might win
nelno If you're implying your A8 Z06 would stand a chance against a ZR1 I want what you're smoking
Best video I've seen of the zr1....everyone else has been disrespectfully driving them in these drag races. This zr1 took off like those other ones weren't.
Good video sir!
Got dang that thing is gorgeous!
This is awesome man!!!!!!!
👍🏻👊🏻
I was coming down a fairly busy road in my home town and I nearly broke my neck doing a double take on what I thought was a ZR1. When I looked back and saw that huge wing with a little blue "1" I knew it was a ZR1! It was stealth black and it looked so beautiful. I wish I was heading in the same direction so i could get a good look at that front end! Its almost surreal seeing these cars in person knowing that these cars can easily do 180-200+mph and how capable these cars are. Also, where I live, seeing a Z06 is like seeing a Ferrari, its such a rare sight, let alone seeing a ZR1 on one of Albany, New York's busiest streets.
They are definitely better in person.
I wish the channel was still around. The good news for us z06 owners is throw a DSC sport controller and a few grand in various modifications and you'll get a much better suspension setup and you can get ZR1 power pretty easily.
Great job Chuck pretty cars.i orders a 2019 camaro zl1 1le Friday. Can't wait to get it satin steel grey matallic
Those are amazing cars. It’s a beast. If I had the room would definitely get one of those. The 6 speed is smooth 👍🏻😎
Incredible intro
I love both cars but that Zr1 is a Powerful Beast🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿
Great video!
I have a s550 mustang now but I’m trying to see if I can get into a c7 zo6 sometime next year. I think they are absolutely gorgeous!!!! Great video
Great summary/comparison of each car Chuck 👍🏻 I definitely agree with your conclusions. Awesome footage as well 👌🏼
Thanks Robert. I just watched your video and hate to see the C7 go but I know you eagerly await the C8 and I am super pumped to see you get one.
Cars, Costs and Technology man You make great corvette content, you and Mr Chuck are the best for the corvette world, not clickbait, not lies, straight to the point with great content !👍👍👍
Jeez already moving into the Zr1. I'm still on my '13 427. ;) I might get the c8 two or three years in
Your videos are awesome man! 100% amazing content! Couldnt afford a c7z06 so got myself a c6z06 505hp for 40k 12k miles and its wicked fast man! Best bang for the buck of a poor mans wallet haha!
I appreciate that Armando, congratulations on the New Z. Any generation corvette is an honor to own. We all start stacking somewhere nothing wrong starting with a C6Z 👍🏻😎
I'm into a 17 ZL1 for $40k that sits about 800+ bhp. Fun car!
@@dansherwood1043Those are bad ass cars! Low Price too! My Vette is now at 640whp Heads Cam! Its a monster at only 3150lbs!
Yeah I had an 04 Z06 with a 416 and big brake kit with 520 rwhp and it's better then the ZL1 for road racing as it's 3046lbs.
I like the ZL1 and in a straight line it's quite a bit faster (166 1/2 mile vs 156 in the Z) and it does quite well at the road course, but honestly...it's one fat girl!
Z06 looks so tight and classy !!
Omg that is the nicest Z06 I've ever seen actually. I want one now. I still love the Shelby GT350R tho which was first choice j
Am I the only one surprised when he said "I'll be finishing paying my ZR1 in November."...Damn, which I could even buy a used Z06.
Great video Chuck. I've been waiting for this title on CZcams for a while ! I have been looking for ZR1 this year but can't find any without a $20k mark up here in Canada... I am of the same opinion that ZR1 will hold its value best, especially with the mid-engine coming. Great car ! I am just waiting on my Z06 to be built now, pretty much the same specs as you showed in this video, but in red. Even though I was told it was sitting at 3400 last week it seems like it takes forever. By the way, had to buy this because of YOU. Keep up the good work.
You are going to have so much fun with that Z. They are amazing Corvettes and have allot to offer!! Congratulations again can’t wait to see it.
Hey Kev,
Gettiing my Z06 on Wednesday. I
Too am from Canada. I'm in Toronto. Congrats to you
On your Z06. 👍
Nice ! Congrats to you as well ! Looks like you'll get a few more drives than I before the winter kicks in... !
Porsches and Corvettes have some of the best racing histories because they are reliable and respond to modifications well. "You can win if you don't end", Iused to say as a SCCA racer. You have to end the race.
Great vid, thanks for posting. Unfortunately a ZR1 isn't in the cards for me just yet, over 200k CAD up here but I definitely will strive for a new C8, I will be "trading up" as you will from my '14 Stingray Z51.
Great video Chuck!
👍🏻👊🏻
Well said; sir.
holy shit man.. u can really see what a difference that extra 100hp makes in such a light weight car
Jake Socks what I really saw was how much the trans matters, I was very much unimpressed with the power difference (the ZR1 could barely pull away until the manual shifted)!
I’ve got a C7 Z06 manual I love it and I’m never getting rid of it but I’m saving up for a C8 Z06 I guess I will have to get used to the automatic.
What an awesome review and wow both cars are incredible. I have never owned a corvette but my goal is to purchase one this year. Im not sure on which model yet or color at that lol. But I excited to be part of the corvette club its always been a dream of mine to own a vet ever since I was little. Thanks again and keep up the great reviews
I recommend getting a c6 zr1 corvette its so damn fast but its 100k so i was just giving you an idea
I actually like the Z06 design better than the ZR1, but wow the ZR1 is significantly faster
Same man
F. Mazz. the zo6 hood looks so nice compared to the zr1
Great video and content once again! I’m glad you’ve made the decision to keep Fearlis, not modify it, or trade up. It simply looks awesome! Hmmm, does that mean Fearsum’s time may be limited or is there a bigger garage in your future? 👍👍👌👌
Very good question Arlan I think we are a few years away from have a C8 on this channel. Will let GM work out the bugs on the guys who have to own one in the next few years and when the Z06 comes out We shall see.
Chuck, I loved this comparison and I think it’s only further solidified the C7 ZR1 as my dream Corvette. I am sure the C8 will blow us away, but the ZR1 is truly something special and me being the type of person to own a unique ride, I’d pick the ZR1 all day. I also agree with what you said about when you spec out the Z06, you’re not far off from the price of a ZR1. Granted, $30k is a big difference, but I think if you’re buying a car like this, that doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. That last statement you made up about trading up versus stacking cars was totally relating to my position currently as well. As much as I’d like to buy a Corvette, I could not imagine trading in my Challenger Scat Pack Shaker towards it. A Corvette would definitely have to be in addition to my current car. It’s definitely not the fastest car (ain’t no Hellcat or Demon), but it’s special enough to me having ordered the car exactly the way I wanted it from the factory at 19 years old. Enough of my little rant, this was a fantastic video 🙂👏
I love the Go pro shots and Ariel videos. 👍🏾
Thanks JR 👊🏻
For me the future collectible corvette will be the C6 Z06 with the last and biggest of the NA GM engines, the LS7. ;)
MarMPB in time I think you’re right. That and the C7 ZR1 with a stick (although I’m largely unimpressed with this car).
Wow, The ZR1 walked away. I thought it would be a little closer.
Each because of how badly the either driver was shifting
100 HP makes a difference.
Something about the sound and look of the ZR-1 that I just love. Its like a transformer on the road and I find that appealing. You can't really customize a ZO6 like that and this may go down in history as the last great stick shift, front engine, American super car.
