Is the C6 Corvette Z06 modded a BETTER sports car than a 2024 C8 Corvette Z06?
Рет қаралды 21,095
Күн бұрынThe Z06 Corvette has always set the performance bar high for sports car. This C6 Z06 is powered by a 7.0L V8 that has been modded with intake, cam, headers and exhaust to produce 600HP to the rear wheels. On the outside you will notice a special wrap, C7 Z06 19/20in wheels and LED lighting. On the inside you will you will be greeted by a custom carbon fiber steering wheel, leather sport seats and upgraded infotainment system. Is the C6 Corvette Z06 modded a BETTER sports car than a 2024 C8 Corvette Z06?

I think the C6 is the best looking Corvette to date! However, the interiors are seriously outdated. Even when new. I like how there are options now, I’m seeing guys doing the C7 seat swaps, and now a few companies are actually making the larger Tesla style screens for C6s that look factory. Those 2 things really give these interiors new life!

C6Z owner here. I'll be the first to admit, the C8Z is a better car in almost all regards, other than the portly weight. With that said, I still think the C6Z is better looking, more emotional, and more fun to drive in general. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't refuse a C8Z if GM wanted to offer me one at a steep discount, but I still love the C6Z after all of these years!

I smashed my factory CF front splitter on a parking block at Corvettes at Carlisle and I think it could be heard all the way back in NJ where I live. Damn, it was loud. And to replace the splitter cost me $1,300. And CF can't be repaired. Well, it can be repaired by someone who knows what they're doing, but then it has to painted. It's impossible to keep the original CF weave pattern alive. Save the Wave Joe. 🙋♂

Regarding the 10:42 mark; I have a C6 Z16/Grand Sport. As far as I know, all of the widebody C6 variants (Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1) have the same rear fender vent setup/duct work to cool the rear brakes. I just did a smoke test into these vents; and I clearly saw that the smoke exits the duct work onto the rear brakes. Does anyone know for certain if the Z06 and ZR1 models use those same rear fender vents for the rear diff/transaxle cooling instead of the brakes like mine?
