I have about $45k total invested in my 2008 Z06 (I know it's not worth that much. Engine upgrades costed around $10k - money I'll never see again, but it sure makes the car fun!). Anyway, it's just a naturally aspirated Heads/cam/exhaust LS7. No supercharger, turbos, or nitrous. Since it weighs just 3100 pounds, and now produces 660 hp, it will outperform any stock C7 Z06, Hellcat Redeye, and even the 2020 C8. The LS7 (with aftermarket heads) is a beast of a motor. It's the most fun I have ever had driving on the street.

@deadend Not sure you've ever worked under a car on jack stands before, there is literally nothing dangerous about it. Less room, sure. But at the same time... you have a jack on the trans when you drop it in either situation anyhow.

@Adierit 4 жыл бұрын

@deadend Except we're talking about a jack **stand** not a jack. You need a jack for both the lift or the jack stands anyhow, for removal of any parts you're dropping from underneath. You're not under the car very much to drop a transmission, as you're lowering it down onto a jack to pull it out. A jack stand is the exact same material as a hydraulic lift, they're both steel. One just has a hydraulic cylinder to move it up and down. Sure the jack stands don't lift it up as high, but you don't need to stand under a car to work on it, your grandfather did it long before those lifts became wide spread. Guess what they used then?

You can add a supercharger to a C6 and get equal power, but it will never keep up with the C7 as far as handling. Between the much stiffer frame to the electronic rear differential and electronic steering rack the C7 simply handles noticeably better. I've had both the C6 and currently have the C7, both Z06's, and the C7 is much more stable and planted, and gives you much more confidence in the twisties.

At the lowest and smallest cam 550-580 whp that will bot race a c7 z which makes 550-570 whp 580-600 wtq stock in both et and trap speed. You add boost and it’s not even fair for the c7 z it’s to heavy at 3570 the c6 z can weight 3109-3200 or less with light weight wheels and headers .

after having removed my c6 drivetrain twice using jackstands.. I'd definitely second the sentiment of using a lift if possible. I see now why so many C6 are heavily modded. It's so labor intensive to do some jobs it's almost better to just take the whole car apart one time and put all the mods on as you reassemble the car. I sure hope this car's torque tube couplers and bearings were at least inspected before being put back in. (yes, I realize this video old.) The C6 is a love/hate car for sure. Love driving on it, beginning to hate working on it.

It's funny, the 2015 ZO6 was $80k, the new 2020 Mid-engine Vette is $60k (that's what they say anyway) and will beat it.

@nickw4898 4 жыл бұрын

65k, and wait til the 2020 Z06 comes out.

60k msrp.... they're not going to be available for that

@Chuck Taylor Anybody that buys a new Vette for drag racing is just silly. Put it on a road coarse and let her rip.

@bdd1469 4 жыл бұрын

@Chuck Taylor You can use the $12,000 you save on the Vette for more horsepower and easily outrun the GT500 in a drag race. You can't make the GT keep up to the Vette around a corner no matter how much money you throw at it...

A 2015 Z will run between 44-52k... an 06 Z is anywhere from 25-35k... so meet in the the middle 46k vs 30k leaves you with a 16k budget... so, probably.

Sure a 2015 will run about 48k, today. Not when it was new.

@Titan717 4 жыл бұрын

sparkplug1018 and a c6 Z when it was new was around the same price if you count inflation. So, comparing new vs new, would leave you with a budget of 3K at the most. No way 3K will get you the gains needed on the c6 platform to touch 650 hp with 650 tq.

I cannot believe you did not do a Dino run prior to the engine work and exhaust. Instead you use your Dyno machine as a parts counter. Also I hope in the next video it shows you addressing the head problems that are major issues with this particular years and engine. There's videos on here of people leaving the dealership and had gone a couple of blocks away and had to be towed back to the dealer. GM is aware of the issue what has refused to fix. It's just like Ford's with their 6.0 diesels they are aware there's major issues but but refuse to fix. Anybody with Gen 6 Corvettes that are ZO6 have a saying have you fixed your problem with your heads and if you haven't yet it's just a matter of time before it goes.
