This video is 5 yrs old now, yet I find myself watching and enjoying it like it was filmed just yesterday. In 2015 I dreamt of having one. Flash forward and to my own surprise...I finally have a Z06, w/ the z07 package. Only in America!

That's awesome, you should definitely enjoy that car. I've been wanting one for the last year and when the market comes down a bit more, I plan on picking up a targa top z06 with the 7 speed manual. The c8 is a huge disappointment imo

Of course he gets no tickets. Jay hires off duty cops, at overtime pay, to provide the rolling roadblocks he uses for his Mulholland test rides. He also gives his time to do stand-up for all the police charity events. He'd have to kill someone, live on camera, to get arrested in California. Tickets? I don't think so.

It's simple, to beat this car, you have to spend $1 million for a McLaren P1, Porsche 918 or the LaFerrari. The Z06 is my favorite car. An american car that offers the same performance and quality as many european exotics at half the price. What is there not to love? Jay is right. Being american does give me a sense of pride. God bless america, and thank you General Motors for producing an EPIC car!

GTR owner here from UK, I must admit I absolutely love the new Corvette, sounds absolutely epic, as others have said you can't beat the sound of an American V8. It would be great if GM would stick the steering wheel on the other side and import them properly through dealers in the UK.
@jeffwill4923 9 жыл бұрын
The steering wheel has been said for yrs. Problem here GM is pulling out in UK. Some changes would be needed to switch sides. If the demand was great I do think GM would look into it. Because there is some cost in developing, I doubt a switch will be done.

Johnny641 Lotus Elise owner from America, I absolutely love all well-engineered European (and foreign) vehicles, because like you, I'm not "playing for a specific team" like most ignorant auto-enthusiasts. Johnny, you've re-inspired my faith in auto-enthusiast, I thought all Europeans senselessly hated us for our big V8's, It's epic to see a car-enthusiast that can "like outside his box". Cheers brother! :D
@Son37Lumiere 9 жыл бұрын
Problem is most Euro boys are pompous dbags that like to hate on anything American and consider all Euro cars superior so sales of the Corvette is quite low in that region, no reason for GM to waste money retooling their factories to produce them with steering wheels on the other side.
@Johnny641 9 жыл бұрын
Son37Lumiere Thought it wouldn't be long before some one had to add a Troll comment. The reason sales are low for the likes of Corvette etc.. in Europe are high import costs and no local support for warranty/parts as GM generally will not import them. Nothing to do with car enthusiasts "hating on America". The Mustang will be sold as a right hand drive for UK and it has been well received so far.
@Son37Lumiere 9 жыл бұрын
Johnny641 I watch Top Gear UK, I see them consistently bash America and American cars. I also have met many Europeans who have said as much, that American cars are cheaply made junk, they're cheap because of the bailouts, they will never be a Ferrari blah blah blah. Even with import taxes and VAT, etc. they are generally cheaper than Euro counterparts, this car is still significantly cheaper than Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren etc. Of course there are exceptions but not too many, Norway loves American cars. Having said that, the new C7 and Z06 are too good for most of them to ignore now.

I moved to Ohio in 1993 to work there for 3 years. I knew NOTHING about American cars but had fun trying them out. I bought a C4 Corvette which I still have today and still love driving it as much now as I did back then. My everyday car, now I'm back in the UK, is an A250 AMG Merc, which I love to drive and is a lot of fun but is not a Corvette. Jay, thanks for the Z06 review. If you want to try a Corvette out in the UK we, the Classic Corvette Club UK, would love to help you out, you are welcome over here any time :)

When the c7 came out i didn't like it much. I was like the c6 is the best it ever got.. 4-5 years later and finally I love the c7! Test drove a z06 last August and I fell inlove with the power! I currently own a 16 z06 3lz. There are alot of little annoying things I don't like but you can live with them.

***** I think you mean Oldsmobile not Pontiac, and no it is not a gas engine. It was a total separate casting made for diesel use. Come on you really think a thin cast cylinder wall made for gas would live with a diesels high cylinder pressure. All though a lot were converted to gas because of the poor performance the diesel had. Oldsmobile legend Joe Mondello used to sell the conversion kit.

I always enjoy how you relate to these cars, and the hype surrounding them, from a real world perspective. Your use of humour to elucidate its position to others is both smart and entertaining. Yes, there are always compromises in every vehicle on the road. But there are often good reasons for most of those choices, and you manoeuvre your perspective in light of these with verve. Yes, this vehicle does shame the outrageous price tags, lack of availability and cost of running and servicing of the 'exotics'. It's also a damn shame they are not made in right hand drive. I know they would be welcomed in Australia. P.S. Go on, tell us what happened with the police? ;-))

Who would give this video thumbs down? It's Jay Leno in a Z-06?? Common?!

The internet is full of haters and people who have nothing better to do. I like most of the cars Jay features. Even brands I don't own. If it has wheels I generally can finds something to like about it. Whether that be performance or style or just from another time period way before my time. Yeah I could give all other cars other than what I buy or like a thumbs down but hey I think it's small minded. To me would be like walking over to see your neighbor just bought a new car and say, " what a piece of junk hope you didn't spend too much money on it." Haters I say. Snobby angry, jealous types who appreciate nothing in life but spreading some of their gloom.

I really can't wait to go for a ride in one of these new Z06's. My best friend Henery Younger is going to be the first guy to build his own engine for a C7 and it's going to be in his Z07 Pack Z06 Coupe with the 8-speed auto and me and him are going to have a hell of a good time cruisning in his super car of a Corvette once it's built.

Pretty sure Jay didnt get a ticket, cop probably saw him and figured great time for a photo op. Cop would be wasting his time writing that ticket, Jays lawyer would easily erase it i bet. LOL.
