We’ve suddenly stopped caring about “EV sports cars” as long as this Chevy V8 exists. Full coverage of the ZO6 right here: www.edmunds.com/car-news/2023-chevrolet-corvette-z06-has-a-flat-plane-crank-more-than-650-hp.html
Scree ev
Without a proper manual = booth garbage appliances.
Z06 sounds like a full blown race car!!!! 🔥🔥
@Stealth Leopard Correction. It's what happens when a C8.R isn't subject to FIA restrictions
@Stealth Leopard it makes it faster than a C8.R. It’s basically if the C8.R got a symbiote
@@evandentes4716 The C8.R would demolish the ZO6 in anything shortof a drag race.
I’d still choose the cross plane crank. That high revving dual overhead cam nonsense is only good on track.
To me the best option is still the cross plane LT to in convertible form.
@@quentinfreeman7516 this may be true, although I personally think it would be quite close.
I can't wait for the suspension test! Almost everyone overlooks the importance of a comfortable ride in a car like this
A comfortable ride??? This is almost a street legal race car! It shouldn't be comfortable at all. It will probably be very comfortable for a sports car, but that is the last thing you should expect from a machine like this.
The zo6 wont be that cumfy its the track car. The zr1 maybe. Tho i feel the e ray will be the best "Gt" version if 0-60 and power is your concern. Tho id take a base with tt over the e ray any day if i was planning to daily a c8.
@@thorandmoljnir i feel like chevy did a decent job with comfort. My uncle, who threw his hip out putting his leg over my busa, said it was very comfortable when he had an opportunity to go for a ride in one.
1:32 the Z06 really didn’t appreciate that guy tapping its rear😂
Of course not - it's part of the "Ze-too" movement!
How did this become political? It's a video of a car, not your daddy Trump.
@@lemegetatchu1989 I’m telling you man. You can’t even enjoy a video about car lol without people bringing politics into it. Smh
@@MrSitta123 these Trump supporters are crazy man. Smh
@@lemegetatchu1989 Treasonous. Like their Dictator-for-life-wannabe leader.
My 2023 Stingray came in...... waited eleven months. Didn't get the Z06, just settled for the 2LT......fast enough for me, I love it.
The bigger side vents on the Z06 makes a huge difference in the overall look of the car.
And the Z06 lower facia looks swept backward instead of forward. Much more aggressive look.
It looks incredible, IMO. And the sound? OMG
Perfect I’ll start saving now so In 2027 I can get me a 2023-2024 model and I’m sure aftermarket parts will be amazing 🤩
EPIC "gun shot exhaust" reaction.....LMFAO!!!
Stingray is a better bargain for me. Looks better actually, at least to me. More performance than 99% of the buyers can handle or ever use. I guess I think the Stingray is so perfect, that it can't be improved. Z06 is over the top, and maybe really better suited for track use or if rare, stored as a collector item.
That Z06 has got to be buy of the century. wow. can't wait to see you guys put one to the test. now on my shopping list.
I love the way you tap the exhaust pipes with that little wand. It's like you a choir conductor.
The way the Z06 sounds is unreal! Makes the Stingray sound civilized.
I absolutely died at "cartilaginous fish". What an iconic line
The Corvette doesn’t lose anything when you go up in trim level, it just gets better. The Z06 also has MRC 4.0 dampers, which means it’s ride quality will remain significantly versatile. The system shouldn’t necessarily *lose* any abilities in softness but I expect great gains in stiffness and maybe reaction time to put holes, imperfections on city roads, etc. on the Z06. But the Z06 didn’t just get a performance upgrade, it’s also more luxurious than the Stingray which again supports my point that it’s just a better Stingray and didn’t necessarily “lose” anything. Just my $2.00.
It lost a little torque
@@Chad_Max let me guess bond you drive a Porsche, and sport a man bun with some stupid tats and designer flip flops.
Your 2 dollars?
I personally agree tho i feel there is many who doesnt want a track focused car and would prefer the base.
@@Chad_Max thats sick brotha. Any mods?
I placed my deposit for the Z06 Sep 2020 before I actually knew the specs. I figured for $2K refundable deposit (I have dropped more than that in Vegas in one day) it was worth it. Considering the demand now, I am glad I did. My primary focus is getting back to running track events. My last track car was a custom C5R-427.
Very nice review!
Don’t forget the bell thing… lol Great Video. Z06 looks fun.
Very well done..Thanks
I can't lie I thought the new zo6 would've been supercharged, but damn that N/a sounds 🔥
So, what if we put a supercharger on the z06 😼🤔
@@STRlKEZONE change the pistons n rods n your good
Thank you for your video 👍🏻
Congratulations to the Chevrolet/GM group for giving the green Light on this spectacular CORVETTE! I will be owning one soon!
A good crystal ball for the practicality of the new Z06 compared to the stingray would be to look at the C7 stingray versus the Z06 C7 where very little was lost in terms of practicality. The newer Corvettes are great grand touring cars as well as high-performing sports cars front engine or mid engine I like
You mean the like many lawsuits for GM for the c7 z06? Lol.
I had a 2007 Z06 as a daily driver and I loved it
Nice jacket , cars aren’t bad either. What type of jacket is that? Great video. Thanks.
2020 Stingray start-up ---- Okay, that is respectable, won't get me in trouble with the neighbors too much I don't think. 2023 ZO6/ZO7 start-up ---- HOLY SHIT! WOW! DAMN! Rev it again DAMN!!!! Okay, my neighbors for fact would know that I was about to drive the ZO6 that day
GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! That Z06 sounds AMAZING
My Stingray on Launch Control can go 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds but the Flat Plan Crank 5.5 engine has a red line about 2,000 RPMs higher then the 6.2 LT2 engine.
1:32 Ahhh yesss! Music in my ears!😌
I am going to have to say that I love that Z06. Even if it doesn't outperform in every category. Gonna have to say that the sound alone is kinda worth the wait.
Well you can always get the C8 ZR1. Personally the C8 Z06 will probably be more car than most average people can handle. I’ve been driving and racing Corvettes for 30 years and this car is a game changer. People like to dismiss that is a lowly Chevy but Corvette isn’t messing around anymore. There will be a lot of new racing records broken with this car.
@@craigthescott5074 I totally agree. Even if everyone is waiting for the 2023 to come out, I would dare say that almost all of those folks could just pick up a C8 and would be happy beyond belief. One may be sicker, but they are both sick.
Well done GM for creating the most exciting piece of art ZO6 ever made 👍🏽🏁
I honestly prefer the front/look of the original
I still don't think I've heard a video snippet of the exhaust where the mic isn't clipping. I bet it sounds fantastic but it's hard to tell.
Something to note is that you can get the Z06 without the Z07 package. So you still get the high revving flat plane crank spitting out nearly 700 horses, without the stiff ride quality that you referenced. So while an absolutely maxed out Z06 with a carbon fiber wrapped Z07 package might leave you at $150k; you can still walk away with a Z06 sub $100k.
@Stealth Leopard a regular stingray is a track monster lmao
Z06 is still a super stiff ride and much stiffer than the stingray even without z07 package. And z06 starts at $106k so no you’re not walking away with it for less than 100
@@eurly93 yeah, it’s a lot easier to leave this comment after they released pricing. 8 months ago though everyone expected the Z06 to start at $85k.
I love the look of the C8. It does make me wonder what the next gen will look like ( please don't pull a Camaro and give us the same car for two generations and tell us that they're different...).
The 6th gen camaro is a fundamentally different car than the 5th gen.
Not sure what exactly you mean here. The 5th gen and 6th gen Camaros ARE fundamentally, and significantly different cars/platforms across the board. Not a single aspect is shared nor the same between them.
Awesome comperesment . For some reason I only heard " in Michigan " instead of mishigan .
Aerolarri now offer's a rear center exhaust kit for the stingray
Beauty of a video.
C8 Z06 will be marked up 50K to almost 200K and dealerships are only getting about 1 a year. C8 stingray is about a year and a half to a 2 year wait. I was lucky enough to order my 2023 3LT Z51 early and received it within 6 months.
I noticed your cold tire pressure at 27 im at 33-34 cold what a difference its faster smoother and really i have not tried to go harder with more air. it said max is 51 pounds but when to soft car feel dragging and a little sluggish fast of course but with more air wow immediate difference. Ya I know tires might wear out sooner and all but try it first I might go harder
I like the Stingray front bumper a little bit more, nothing wrong with the Z06.
They put the ‘crackle tune’ on it just scare the shit out of Alistair! 🤯🔥
What do you think the market would be for the stingray once the co6 comes out this summer?
I'm hoping at least MSRP! lol
A good crystal ball for the practicality of the new Z06 compared to the stingray would be to look at the C7 stingray versus the Z06 C7 where very little was lost in terms of practicality.
I’d like to see what the 6.2L corvette would do with a similar supercharger to what’s on the ZL1 Camaro just simply because it will provide similar horsepower to the z06 and a ton more torque.
Definitely could with a bigger supercharger like the one on the LT5 from the c7 zr1. The c8 zr1 is supposed to be the LT6 from the z06 but twin turbo, which should make up for the low torque. That car is going to be a monster and if the Zora rumors are true (zr1 + hybrid electric with 1000 bhp) that will be a landmark in car history.
Do they have both have the same body type/size?
I would love to see it up close and personal myself. I know that is not going to happen.Maybe Chevy will let me see it but I’m sure they won’t. I would love to purchase it.We shall see ✊
Could you now please update the pictures of the Z06 on Edmonds now?
All the design flaws I didn't like in C8 Stingray, GM fixed it in Z06. Good job! So glad I didn't buy the Stingray.
I started my stock C8 Stingray next to a C8 Z06 and the Z06 owner liked the Stingray better 🤷🏻♂️. At high RPMs, no contest; but at startup, touring around, etc. it’s definitely about preferences.
It's getting there. I still prefer my Porsche, but it's getting better.
Sure prefer a car that’s twice as much and doesn’t perform as well.
thanks
Fyi you can put titanium exhaust from header and back on stingray sound just as good different but good.
Z06 3lz? Or which trim exactly?
I wanted to order a c8 z06 but the wait (3 + years)and markup's are way too much. Just put my name on waitlist for c8 stingray, should get it within 10 months. Still excited to own a c8
My question is about the width. The Z06 is wider. But i need specifics. I heard all the wider width comes from the front fenders and wear fenders only. I need to know is the interior wider or not. Is the interior cabin wider, yes or no in the Z06? Is the headroom taller in the Z06 then the Stingray, yes or no? This is the information that it seems nobody has talked about. Because for me, if the exterior is wider only on the Z06 and the interior space is the exact same on both. Then i would buy the Stingray. But if the interior is wider and or more headroom in the Z06, then I would buy the Z06. ✌️
Its the same size with the Stingray they only did it from outside
Z06 seems like a great weekend car, but Stingray seems like a much more usable daily.
Why?
@@sammendoza7168To start the Tires size. I had C7 and the rear tire was 335 wide, I had constantly nails, screws and wire puncturing it. Also Z06’s engine as much as it is it’s selling point, also it is it’s drawback. There are already plenty of people with engine problems and this plank crank is simply unproven and far from perfect. Stingray’s V8 is a different story, plenty of proven history and cheap parts. If you go to track, Z06 no doubt! But as daily Stingray takes the cake.
What about trunk/frunk space. Are they the same on the stingray and zo6?
Yes
yes - unaffected, although that spoiler compromises access!
@@alistairweaver1336 thanks for the reply. I’ll be doing the base zo6 so shouldn’t be an issue
Yes trunk/drunk/interior. It's same with Stingray
Need 1 now please
I wonder how much it will cost to replace an engine in the Z06? $25k?
Whats the performance benefit of a flat plane engine versus a cross plane in the stingray? The LT6 makes less TQ. What's the appeal?
Higher RPM, you can stay in the same gear for a longer time before shifting
Horsepower, and lots of it. Horsepower is basically the rate at which it can apply the torque and the rate of rpm climb. All really high end naturally aspirated engines are built this way.
@@huemongus3742 My understanding of HP/TQ is that TQ gets you moving and HP keeps you going. At speed is a car more reliant on TQ, HP or, both at about the same amount?
I don't see a lot of youtubers mentioning this (prob cuz it's not that necessary) but 345mm wide tires are not just simply wider tires than Stingray. The only wider tire on a road car is used by Bugatti Veyrons and Chirons which use 355mm tires, and nothing else. This Corvette Z06 tires have the same width with cars like Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, Koenigseggs and more of these crazy cars. Of course the prices of these tires will be huge and it'd be pain in the ass to even find the right size, but I find this to be another fascinating features of the Z06.
It's difficult for a Stingray to reach 0-60 under 3 seconds cuz it's rear wheel drive, tires are 305mm Michelin PS 4S, and it has 495hp. However, since Z06 has 670hp and 345mm CUP 2R, with the correct launch control system equipped, I think it'll be possible for Z06 to reach 0-60 in their claimed 2.6 seconds.
The biggest difference a Stingray and Z06 is you can buy and own a Stingray, because, I did and it puts a smile on my face every time I take a drive.
One additional difference to be noted. The Z06 has summer only tires. The Stingray has all season tires which, if you live northern USA, enables year round use. Not sure if all season tires are available for Z06 rims.
90% of folks are gonna park their sports car during the winter months. I'm one of those 90%, 🤣 .... been doing it since 1987.
If you can afford a sports car, you can afford a "winter beater" also.
@@danielfair4675 Ditto! My last Corvette never saw snow, and very little rain, but I ran Nitto r-compuond track tires on the street.
What’s the difference in gas mileage? Per gallon
The Stingray while not having the same interior carbon fiber package (a bit less than the Z06), it does in fact have an option for interior carbon fiber trim.
Don't like the he carbon fiber. Brushed aluminum is just fine. Aluminum creates a better contrast. To each his or her own. Fun review!
My allocation will be here next week, and I plan on driving it 3-6 months due to personal reason. Is there any configuration recommended, to reduce exposure, for resale since I’ll be selling within 6 months after driving it? I can only afford the 1LT so that’s a must. Color choices (exterior and interior), options, etc?
Why
What
I like the old body types better
Did the name Brian Walker at 2:05 remind anyone else of Paul Walker and Brian O’conners names combined?
The ZO6 is track focused, all skirts are to add down force, I wouldn’t say there over the top, the Viper had even more than the ZO6
The regular C8 Corvette Stingray snds better to me! More masculine an True American muscle! 💪😎
Chevy dealers be ashamed for overpricing corvettes by 40-70k
If people pay that amount then it isnt overpriced.
@@EK-rr2md exactly
@@EK-rr2md doesn't matter..... A vintage pack of Pokemon cards range from 300 bucks to a 1,000 depending on a set..... Technically overpriced for something that was 3 bucks in 1999.... doesn't stop people from buying..... Snap-on tools are way over priced especially when Stahlwille are better made and cheaper......... But snap-on is the luis vutton for men... Guys buy just for the name.....
The largest Corvette dealers are at MSRP, which is probably why they are the largest and why I am buying mine from one of them. Those who pay over MSRP IMHO are just too impatient to wait, so whatever they pay for that instant gratification is their choice, and the dealers reap the profits.
@Pmtd1234 what's a good dealership to buy from? Thanks in advance
Forgive my ignorance...Why did the Z06 backfire like that? Does it mean something isn't quite right with the engine? And does damage to the engine happen when it does that?
it's the normal sounds a high performance engine makes when it has a fairly unrestricted exhaust system. It's unburnt fuel hitting the exhaust and igniting usually exaggerated by lean conditions due to the higher exhaust temps. If you have the stock exhaust or have the NPP exhaust in quiet mode you will rarely hear it but it's quite pronounced with the NPP exhaust in the open position.
Doesn’t look like the ZO6 has the AERO underbody Strakes ?
There's a video out of a non Z51 stingray that pulled a 0-60 in 2.5
I've done 0-60 in 2.7 many times repeatedly. It's a non-z51 with performance exhaust. They have an absolute turd of a stingray if the best they recorded was 3.4.
Why comments cut off on ruggs video?
Thank you for not calling it a zed o six
a british person saying "zee" always sounds odd
Especially when he keeps saying boots....
We say "zed" in Canada, too. Probably most ex-Commonwealth citizens do. It makes the "ABC" song kind of clunky at the end...
Well it is against his instincts and the laws of the English language.
Z51 has done 0-60 mph in 2.8 sec in other tests
We deliberately don't subtract the roll-out, as many publications do. Our intent is to achieve comparable real world figures rather than headline grabbing times.
@@alistairweaver1336 Even owners have achieved sub 3 sec 0-60 times and make then public. Z06 2.6 sec by GM i think its conservative i would not be surprised if it goes lower.
@@alistairweaver1336 when getting the 0- 60 mph time did you use the launch control? I was recently looking through consumer reports and the time zero to sixty was also 3.4 seconds. Consumer reports leaves the start at idle.
Why do you have stradmans corrvette?
Call 911 GT3 RS, SHOTS FIRED! 😉 1:31
I would buy a Z06 over a huracan all day everyday……….even if they were the same price no question!! 🤷🏽♂️
I thought i was the only one you can put lambo doors on it too
@@MR.BLITZEM404 the huracan has normal doors just like the z06
Same
Never thought about that but you might have a point🤔😉
Without a proper manual = booth garbage appliances.

Off not of
Actually, "out of Dodge" is how the saying goes.
@@stuartb9323 My spell check sometimes malfunction, i know the saying thank you.
Blue is my fav color so imma go wit tha Stingray
Love the new Zo6 but idk the front lip looks a little to wide
How the car come out 2 years ahead before the actual production year
To me , Stingray looks better !
Does 2023 Z06 still use brake-by-wire?
yes
Thanks for the vid tho...
Mitchelin tires? Never heard of em. Also, where on Earth is Mitchigan?
I like the regular C8 front end better
The front on the previous model looks better in my opinion!
😍 i want a z06
That sounds amazing. Thank you Jesus.
Ill catch one at the salvage yard in south florida 🤣🤣
The Z06 is wider. Is it longer as well?
No
@@kryptoknight. thanks
I'll go with stingray
The styling is cleaner. Similar to how the ecoboost mustang is cleaner than the gt
😂😂😂😂
That’s funny
Subjective. ZO6 clears all other categories
ISMH, you didn't mention anything about the DOHC engine of it design over others. The LT6 is a marvel!!!!
How was this a tie?
Fr, the entire time all I heard Z06 winning the categories they made with bs reasonings then say it’s a tie💀 then they say a carbon fiber interior is bad 😂
@@ramennoodlz Yeah, this video was BS... I expect better from Edmunds...
You're disregarding the 1/2/3lt packages.... Id imagine a 1lt bare bone Z06 starting at around 80k then you could probably build one to around 135k... and this is without the dealer "market adjustments" which will probably run you another 30k on top of that lol
I’m just patiently waiting on The c8 zR1…….
I think we need a Grand Sport trim. Body of Z06, it’s wheels and center exhaust, and base Stingray engine. Hopefully Chevy will do that soon.
I have had a C6GS for several years now. I wanted a C7GS badly but the C8 mid engine rumors were circulating and I wasn't entirely comfortable spending the money at the time. I deeply regret waiting. The V8 mid engine manual transmission "discount exotic" of my dreams didn't come to fruition. I understand not pairing the high winding LT6 with a manual. Not offering it for the LT2, regardless of chassis engineering excuses GM offers, is inexcusable. I'm now in a position to buy what I want and there's nothing to buy.
@@tylersmith7054
Sounds like an excuse
i mean...of course they will come out with a GS...if they follow pattern with the last two gens of vettes. Let's all hope :)
