Very nice video. So young with all the toys. I wish I was so lucky. But good for you…I might be dead if I had that money so young . Motorcycles would have done me in. So, I have had my C7 ZO6 Black on Black for almost a year now. Love the car. Launching is a blast. My only regret. I wish I would’ve gotten the manual since I’m not daily driver. Anyway, have fun and enjoy.

Congrats on your Z06! Launching is definitely a blast, it’s really hard to get the tires to hook up properly. Thanks for watching!

For putting gas in the car, position the bottom pump gun at the 2 o'clock position and it will stop the multiple interruptions of the gas delivery. I live in Belgium but I have a US C7 Z06 which is really not compatible at all. I had to ask on a forum if that was normal and someone told me that plugging in the pump gun at almost 180° up side down just works perfectly fine. Let me know if it does the trick for you! Apparently in California, gas stations are somehow similar to European ones reason why you have the issue whereas in the rest of the US it s apparently not causing the problem. Regarding driving when it s raining, that s what I like actually, I like powersliding and drifting cars and the C7 Z06 is so easy to powerslide and drift that under rain it s even more enjoyable without damaging the tires too much and also it is safer because you ll start to drift at a much slower speed due to the lack of grip.

you know it’s a great car when the two only complaints are the gas cap and the center console. I would’ve gotten the zo6 but it took me long enough flipping a bunch of cars to get to the $40k needed for the stingray I got, hopefully once I finish school I’m able to find a real job that pays me enough for a c7 or c8 zo6 depending on whenever that is lol

Yeah it’s an amazing car man. I driven a lot of cars, but nothing beats the c7 z06 for its price point. I love my GT4 too but it’s not 2x the better car. Something about the C7Z so really rough to get out of. It’ll be a forever car for me

Toyo Proxes R888R will fit the stock rims, and will not spin in first gear once they are warmed up, even at 55 to 60 F. This will keep the Z06 from getting loose on straights.

Is the black stripe on your hood vinyl wrap? I see the black stripe often, was it a factory paint option? Same question with the black top. Vinyl wrap? It seems like there was a black top offered from the factory as well. Just trying to figure this out for when I can buy one next year. Thanks for the video.

@@crointhevette I have no complaints really. The trans shudders a bit around 5th gear (automatic) but I think it just needs a triple flush (according to GM). Mine is a 3LT and the napa leather dash I don't think was fitted quite right or there's some warping that I need to fix. All in all a great car though, makes my short daily commutes a lot more fun.

Love the wrap on your z! I have a 16 as well. She's at the collision center. Some idiot ran the stop sign! 😭 As far as the gas goes, what I do is I put the handle facing upwards instead of normally downwards and it works every time! It'll stop when it's full! It does look weird and some people might stare at you but you'll be in and out in no time!
