Car guys know this. Fanboys...ehh...not so much :-)

NuclearGrizzly ugh, been arguing with that dan idiot >.

How can a 6.2 litre engine be smaller than a 4.5 litre or a 3.6? You're quite stupid arguing against measurement Also its a shit engine

Alex Rorrison All of those cams and the heads that accommodate them take up space and weigh a lot. As does that intake. So do those turbos and the necessary plumbing. Then again, what would You Tube be without butt hurt euro fanboys to ridicule for making dumb comments.

Alex Rorrison its simple if you have ever built or worked on an engine you would realize boring out the cyl makes up displacement. the 6.2l in the corvette is physically smaller, lighter, more compact then even mclarens 3.8l V8. people (like you) tend to have this idea that if something is 5+ liters it must be massive 850 LBS engine from the 70's when in reality a small block with a small SC is more like the size and weight of a 3.5l V6.

beat the 918? Really?!? You meant to say 944 right?

Stan Chase no I said 918, the million dollar hypercar, it beat it by 2 seconds with a lap of 2:41.. The 918 recorded 2:43

Stan Chase search it up on KZfaq, there's videos for both cars doing the Virginia international raceway

Actually the corvette got 7:49 and the Porsche 918 got 6:57 the corvette almost got beat by a honda civic type r 7:50:63

+Kim Lynch Wrong car genius. That was the previous generation.

Hellcat.

@@ImJidionDaddy u no what an OLE-BOAT WEIGHS???LOL

yep!

Looool

+Brian C nope, rich people care about value as much (or more) than anybody. how do you think they got rich?

Jack Ol'Bean Tell that to the millionaires who buy mercedes, bugattis, ferraris, lambos, etc. They are not as reliable or cheap to maintain as a Honda or Toyota but when you are a millionaire it doesn't have to be because you can afford it.

You missed the boat. Hondas and Toyotas don't do, sound, feel,... the same as the cars you mentioned. So their "value" isn't the same. Do you actually know any millionaires? They're the typically cheapest people on the planet (if they worked for it).

Jack Ol'Bean Then why is Ferrari and Lambo in business? Why Mercedes for that reason when their reliability is less than Lexus or Audi? Yes many millionaires simply aren't into cars but that ones that are don't mind spending extra for the best. Not sure why that is so hard to believe. Again, the companies profits speak for themselves.

Brian C you're mistaking YOUR cost/value considerations for millionaires'. They are different, but that doesn't mean they don't care about cost/value. A corvette doesn't deliver what a Ferrari does. The Z06, for example, was the least favorite of all cars driven during the Robb Report Car of the Year drive. So to them NO value exists there. Once you realize others think differently than yourself, you'll get it.

Soo true man

Kill pretty much anything, I like you are not a Chevy fan, but i must respect this thing.

yeah

I'll 2nd that!

Timothy Joyce what would you add to the review?

okay instead of buying a z06 why not just get the base vette for what 55k? and supercharge it yourself? add slick tires upgrade cooling then remap the ECU. forget the aero it'll just slow you down. stage 1 aero is all you need really and go auto for racing/manual for drag racing or daily drivers.....what do you guys think?

thisguy177 doing what you suggest completely voids the warranty

thisguy177 base z06 also got huge downforce and aero?

thisguy177 I thought of the same thing but doesn't the ZO6 have stronger internals than the base model? I'd be worth doing that if you can just slap the supercharger on the base model an tune it. But if not changing pistons and rods can get a little pricey and would probably amount to the same price as the Zo6 with labor.

really? hes bringing up points that have been of concern for the car which turns out not to be a big deal.

clovis myers Yes a review should be an informative critic on pros and CONs too. No car is perfect. At least he should compare this car to its competitions.

I know! All he says is 'just listen to this car just listen to it''. Just review it and for the love of god stop comparing it to Ferraris.

All wrong guys. Not getting the point of the general reaction reviewers have to this car. I CAN BE compared to a Ferrari. That's what's amazing. Why should America always bow down to Europe? No it's not better than a Ferrari if you want to impress the country club Valet kids. (But the Performance Data Recorder Valet mode is cool).

Talking about a cars strong points is not selling it , he is just elaborating on its features ,

hugelawn what does that even mean?

So you are saying talking about his experience is not reviewing it? By all means, get a Z06 and do a real review for us then...

Gareth David Opinions don't matter if they don't have to do with the performance of the car.

Oblivion So with that mindset, you can apply critique only matters when it's positive. Just because it didn't comply to you expectations doesn't mean it wasn't what it claims to be.

Gareth David You have to show positives and negatives in a review, not just praising it like it's the best machinery in the world.

That's AWD territory

NuclearGrizzly is there an AWD vette ?

ITZzCrazYKiilrzZ Not as far as I know. But usually to get that kind of 0-60 time it involves AWD. Thus AWD territory.

ITZzCrazYKiilrzZ no

no there isn't it's RWD it's a corvette he meant that's where awd drives get 0-60 but there might be in the future. It would be cool and then maybe I'll consider buying American cars

can i come with you ,, i like that one too Nick

***** Of course be my guest Lara :-) But 1st i have to buy it ...lol

***** lol ,,, thanx

***** :-)

***** YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It's fun in the snow. :)

Are you the owner?

Yep :)

Nice car, I bet it's tons of fun in the snow. I hope someday I'll be able to own a car like this

The stupidity of a few people thinking that traction control is a miracle working technology does not negate the fact that it will greatly benefit a person with common sense. If a person is dumb enough, they're going to get their Darwin Award one way or another. The technology is sound, but these people you speak of sound stupid.

Sounds like shit, slower, worse interior, more expensive, awd is less fun, no manual, more expensive to repair, less easily moddable, worse handling etc.

This dude really just said "premium stereo" haha! Bose? Yeah that's what is in the vette too...Wanna know why the R35 GT-R sucks? AUTO ONLY. I drove an 09 GT-R and absolutely hated that boring thing. Bought me a C7 manual and I adore it

Sorry to comment 5 years later. The dislikes are from people who realize this guy knows absolutely nothing about corvettes.

+tfhgw921 this is like in my top 3 dream cars and I'm from England...

Because if the downforce. The c7z will destroy the c6z in 0-60 and the 1/4 and the track. Still want to complain?

Tony Lewis Actually they are pretty close in the 1/4 mile. Downforce does almost nothing for you in the 1/4. The C6 Z06 was good for mid-11's in the 1/4 mile with a trap speed over 123 mph. The new car is only marginally quicker.

hartsickdisciple the 8 speed auto runs 10.9....thats a proper difference. 0-60 is far quicker too.

Tony Lewis Anyone who buys an automatic Z06 is a weenie. 1/4 trap speed is what shows how "fast" a car really is once traction is taken out of consideration, not so much the E.T... although there have been plenty of low 11-second runs in stock C6 Z06's. Trap speed for both cars are within 2-3 mph, which is not a huge difference. C6 Z06 does 0-60 in 3.4 to 3.6 seconds with a manual transmission. The fact of the matter is that the C7 Z06 is the replacement for the C6 Z06, and it's not much quicker when similarly equipped. Factor in the lower top speed, and it's a bit underwhelming. Great car, yes... I'd definitely take one... but that 198 mph top speed was a hell of a bragging right.

hartsickdisciple If you consider 5 tenths and ~3 mph in the quarter-mile "marginal". LOL

How's it looking 5 years later?

GT6SuzukaTimeTrials haha you can grab one used for 40k g

Zero more like 60-75k unless u want high mileage. And oh manuals are much more rare

Bone stock you will.

That was damn quick

There you go. Your very first simi-affordable super car.

i can't afford, but it proves the point that it isnt hard to find cars at all

It's due to aerodynamics lots of down force reduces top speed

Not to mention that Top Speed is irrelevant in pretty much every worthwhile race... In real racing, there are too many turns for cars to get much over 160mph... Even if you are a drag "racer" you wont see anywhere near your top speed in the 1/4 mile...

i realize that... I was just saying that is a kinda low considering the other vettes had a much higher top speed. But your correct about what you are saying

Your an Id thats with the snow tires, Fuck your Shelby we aren't talking about hell cats(Dodge and Ford Mustang aren't on C7 level). The Vette will hit 205mph. The cadillac cts-v 207mph.

actually the new vette wont hit 200 mph obviously lol but ok and second i never said the shelby was on the same level ? little but hurt ? ahaha. The vette and the shelby are 2 different classes of car but i was just saying that a shelby hits 200 mph and is about 35k cheaper and you get back seats and a decent size trunk.. The vette is cool and all but im more of a ford fan. The only vette i would own is the c6 zo6. That thing is a monster plain and simple. The c7 is more of a track car and im more into drag racing so thats why im not to big on the c7s

And a corvette has the handling of a donkey with poor torque to horse power ratio

We're talking about sound here

Booredatwork.com You are clueless.

flying jellyfish I know we were and I love the sound too. But driving one is a complete let down

Booredatwork.com So, you are clueless and a liar. Great combo! You'll fit in just fine around here.

+PapayaMan I imagine her looking like Michelle Rodriguez haha.

That moment when a corvette can take a turn at decent speed.

LMFAO!

Tyler Comer Even still, with only 60 less horsepower and 1000 pounds less, you think it would be able to hit 200 mph, and that's not even factoring in aero.

mkelebay If a car has the aerodynamics to handle like a slot car, it will always affect top speed.. The main question is which gets to 185 quickest? I think we all know which car wins that race..

And a zr1 blows them all!205 mph.

+Aaron Chandra 185 advertised top speed due to d more down force. The previous ZR-1 had a top end of 205 with less power but it had less downforce and drag.
