Thank you, Peter! I had planned on making this video for a while and after our recent discussion I figured I'd get to it sooner than later because a lot of people want this information.

I did the same!! I had an 07 z06 black and got a 2017 z06, 3lz, loaded out for 73k with 8k miles. Fell in love with the metallic blue! This car is insane. How much is the calibration for the mag ride? I don’t see anything wrong with the modes. Also i have the z07 package and my brakes scream! I have the brakes worn light coming on but i can still see pad on all 4. Is it normal for carbon ceramic brakes to last less than 10k miles?? Rotors look fine with no signs of wear or grooves.

@@Tain950 I love it, it's now 833hp/809tq. (725whp/704wtq) I have 4600 miles of my driving and am getting used to it. I had no idea how fast it was compared to my other sports cars. It's like learning to drive all over again. 70 mph burnouts and corner speeds higher than my brain can process the act of driving. I have two years of autocross and three seasons of motorcycle road racing. (WERA) I've been a gear head my whole life, but this is a lot of car. The interior is excellent, that's why I finally bought a corvette. I also lowered it on the stock bolts and got a good alignment (DSC Sport numbers) It turns in much quicker now, and holds traction much better when powering out of corners. It had only -.8 camber before, now it's -1.5 all four wheels. Tire wear will suck, but driving it is a blast. My engine mods were Kooks long tubes w/cats, 2.17 griptech pulley, CNC ported LT-5 throttle body, CNC ported stock blower and K&N intake.Also 160 T-stat. Work and tune done by DBR Highperformance. Great shop and service. The car drives way better than stock now, all the off idle stumble is gone. . ACS marker lights and splitter are in the near future along with a short throw shifter. Thanks for the question Rex.I posted a dyno video on my channel.

Enjoyed the video. If I was going to get a C7Z, I'd do what I did with my C6Z if I couldn't get what I wanted used locally. Order the base 1LZ and just leave it at that. I really don't need all the faux felt and fancy stitching for the interior. And no extra exterior stuff. I avoided the Z07 on my car and I'm glad I did. I saved almost $10K. As well as the carbon fiber stuff. Saved thousands there, too. I kept the car as mechanically simple as possible. And make mine manual, please. That Tremec is a shear joy to shift. Especially with a pure synthetic lube. For me, the car is more than 'fancy' and 'posh' enough. It's already quite a step up from mine at it's base level. Though, I might go with a sport seat for the driver's side only (if so offered on the newer cars) and the front camera (if offered as a standalone-probably not...) if it'll save the front lower valance wind splitter from curbs. That being said, the C7Z is a monster killing machine at it's $81K base MSRP. And I'm sure I could get 6-10% off. Especially if I went back to the same dealer I got my 2013 from. The only problem? I don't want to give up my 427. It's such a gem of a sports car.....It's a very attractive mistress who's undemanding...Does it get much better?

@HorsePowerObsessed 5 жыл бұрын

That 427 and the C6 Z06 is definitely something special so I can fully understand the hesitation! I got my Z07 packaged C7 at a really good price and it came with all the features I wanted. this car is really spoiled me in the fact that I can have all the performance I want as well as all the fancy features I want so I'm hoping in the future it stays the same for me 🤞

You have brand new 2017 Z06’s on dealer lots, 2016, 2015, 2018, etc. When the new Vette comes out probably 3 months or so later, I’m gonna grab one. True enough the mid-engine is gonna control the ohhh’s and ahhhh’s, but I’ll still be in a Vette at a great price point.

Great vid with detailed explanations why the '17 C7Z may be the sweet spot in terms of price/performance with cooling upgrades vs MY 2015 and 2016. There are reasons to consider a 2019 Z as well. The '19 C7Z's have the ZR1 differential (stronger), ZR1 fuel pump, Mag Ride update, 0-40 ESP oil, even larger radiators (A8 has a 2 1/8" and M7 1 3/8" + aux radiator vs 1" + aux cooler on the M7 '17s). Also '19 Zs built after Feb 1, 2019 included the new non-hygroscopic auto trans fluid. Buyers need to weigh these improvements with the increased cost of a '19.

@HorsePowerObsessed 2 жыл бұрын

100% correct but this was specifically the sweet spot for performance and price. The 19's will be the most expensive without a lot of additional performance mods to back up that additional cost.

I have a question. I just bought a C7Z. I just checked my VIN and my C7Z has the MY code K which stands for MY2019. But I think my car was produced in mid 2018. Do I have the ZR1 differential, fuel pump etc. or nah? According to the MY I should have it right? Thanks! :)

@cassiespencer6134 5 жыл бұрын

GM has stated the 2019 C7 ZR1 is single model year run. I was fortunate to find one although I had to go out of state to get it. Ordering was out of the question since virtually all dealer allocations were spoken for. That said there's a price to be paid by owning one. Literally. With some body parts in particular being next to impossible to obtain as they're on national back order and thus require a valid reason along with photographs and GM's approval. For example the front splitter, which is carbon fiber. Not to mention it costs over $4,000. Yeah, I know. It's insane. And for instance I found a small flake along the edge of the left front carbon/ceramic rotor on mine while cleaning the wheels and a new one was $2800, plus labor. That's why he's right about the Z06 being the best for track use. Parts are more readily available should they be needed. And they will be. Tires, brake rotors/and brake pads especially are consumables and one goes through them almost as fast as fuel. Yeah, that's an exaggeration of course, but not as much as some may think.

@HorsePowerObsessed 5 жыл бұрын

The ZR1 is definitely a monster and I'd love to have one! I know the exposed carbon fiber lip even for the Z06 is around 3k And the carbon ceramic rotors for the Z06 are ready around that same price as well! It's not necessarily cheap to track any one of the "track ready" Corvettes. I know what you mean with the ZR1 though with it being a one year production it's going to be tough to get any parts for it if needed. Either way you have a heck of a car! 👍👍

How does it keep the oil cool? That would be interesting. The coolant is piped through your engine block to keep the block at proper operating temps. Your oil simply lubricates and be be the temp your engine makes it. Not the other way around. Your coolant does the work you claim the oil does. The oil will keep your metal bits from eroding one another. You're welcome.

@HorsePowerObsessed 2 жыл бұрын

You may want to look up oil coolers and how they work on the C7 Corvette. We know how oil lubricates, but when it overheats, it doesn't do its job anymore and that's where cooling comes in.

Looks like the 2017’s can sell for as much as 15-20k over the cost of 2015’s with same mileage give or take. For someone who is just going to enjoy the car for afternoon rides every once in a while are these differences worth that much money? The stitching can be painted red from what I’ve read and I’m not sure the supercharger cooling stuff would make that big of a difference for someone who is not tracking it. Front camera would be nice but not a huge deal for me either. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

If you aren’t tracking the car, then no. The other differences are more personal preference and if you’re OK without them, then you can save the money and get a 2015 instead! You’re gonna love the car either way!!
