The C6 ZR1 is undoubtedly a road legal legend. I had the chance to see what the C6 ZR1 is all about and wanted to share it through a comprehensive review and POV drive, designed to encapsulate what driving the ZR1 is like.

This is the greatest Corvette made. It had all the traditionally things that made Corvette Corvette but it was the first model than smoked many other cars from Europe without being all wheel drive and was a true drivers car. I will never forget in 2009 having this car as my screen saver everywhere.

The Jetstream Blue actually was on three years of the ZR1 (2009, 2010, and 2011 for a total of 465). The LS9 (LS7 ZO6, too) was also a hand built motor with the engine builders name attached to the supercharger cooler lid on the drivers side. All ZR1's vin numbers are in sequential order starting over each year. Great video everything you said was spot on.

@running2redline 9 ай бұрын

I knew it was ‘09-‘11 and accidentally did 11-9 in my head without thinking and said 2. The hand built factor totally makes these cars even more special, cool to know. I’m glad you enjoyed and thanks for the info!

I think I have watched EVERY C6 ZR1 video on KZfaq so thank you for the new video. FYI, JSB was available on the ZR1 for three years. 2009, 2010, 2011 with 2011 being the smallest production number year for the color at 61. I read that it was stopped early in the year as some derivative for the color came from Japan and of course the country suffered a major earthquake in 2011 which ceased the paint code, of course I can’t locate the article now but anyways….great job!

@running2redline Жыл бұрын

Yes I noticed that mistake. I think I said two with the poor math of 2011-2009=2 years which is disappointing as I’m a mechanical engineer lol. I was unaware of the earthquake situation but that is very intriguing. Thanks for the info and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Here there @running2redline Great content! I enjoyed the balance of technical with experiential! Are you the owner of both Vettes? 2019 C7 Z06 M7 owner here which is somewhat similar to the C6 ZR1 and overall I'm a big fan of the C6 generation!

@running2redline Жыл бұрын

Hey Caleb. First off i appreciate the compliment and welcome you to the channel! Also, no., I only own the base model and lent the ZR1 from a close friend for this video. The C7Z is a great car so enjoy it, especially with the 7 speed as the 7th gear makes the car so livable IMO (only ever say passenger in one). The C6 is great but I think the C7 mostly beats it on the interior side. Thanks for watching.

Great video and dang I love the ZR1! Wish I was able to find the blue but was lucky to get my low mile cyber gray. I would disagree on the zr1 dodge viper comparison @8:34 I own a 2010 ZR1 650 whp and a 1997 Viper GTS 506 whp and vipers transmission when they both was stock and current was way more friendly and easier to drive and very noticeable in traffic

@running2redline Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and the cyber gray looks great as well! My comparison to a Viper was to a 2015 Gen 5 GTS I drove rather than the older versions. The clutch and trans in that car were very heavy, and I probably should’ve said which year. I’m sure they probably feel quite different, but that was my takeaway from it.

You did not show the back of the car, the trunk space, and most importantly THE EXHAUST NOTE. Revs and a cold start will give your video 50% more replay value.

I fixed this for my most recent C8 review, the reasoning was to not reveal the owners plate info, which I had no method of dealing with at the time. Since then, I simply take it off or cover it, and was hoping the exhaust note was ample within the POV driving portion, but advice taken that I need more outside audio.
