This is something I regret having to do! I'm so happy I bought this car... As the channel has always been, our ambitions are to do it all! Can't wait for #ZR1

Where’s the “regret” factor? You made a business decision to buy this car to generate KZfaq content. You accomplished that goal. Now you’re moving on to the next vehicle to keep your channel fresh. Seems to me like a win!

Im amazed how good ot looks after all the track use. The guys that did the PPF & Coatings did a tremendous job!

Beating the hell out of it on the track is not babying it!!!

You said you loved the car, and the title is 186k regret. You gotta decide what you want, pal

Just a regular 23yr old guy buying Mclarens and Z06’s and ZR1’s 😂😂😂

Really enjoy your coverage on the Corvettes and other cars as well. I know you're setting up for the ZR1 but are you going to surprise us with a testing of the Eray? Look forward to seeing your future coverage on your next cars that will be coming!

I'm sorry, did you say you pampered it? LOL

He wants desperately to avoid getting a real job !

Austin - the Corvette Community appreciates ALL that you have done and everything you will do in the future. You are leading Gen X and Z into C9 and beyond!

I'm not made of money I'm just a regular guy I've only been thru 3 C8's 😂

IMO Austin, at 23 you are “Killing It!!!” Certainly Living The Dream!!! Besides the ZO6, Raptor and the McLaren, what other cars do you have?? And/or purchasing? Have you completed your College Education? Are you employed? (Outside of KZfaq) Thanks

Kudos in advance to whomever acquires this gem.

What do you do for a living ? I couldn't afford my corvette till I was 40 years old !!!!!!!

Thanks for the content you have showed the world what the Z06 can do. You have drove the wheels off the car and its holding up and asking for more. Sell the car and keep moving forward. Explore your options drive and track them all. Good luck young man.

I finally got to drive a C8 a few days ago. I put 200 miles on a 70th anniv. coupe. What a blast!! It was plenty fast and so incredible through the curvy roads I took it on! Intoxicating!

Thanks for working out issues with the car and GM for us future owners

What did the total paint protection cost?

Man, you’re living the dream! Love your content and how you push these cars on the track. Also love your honesty and openness about the cars and the experience. GM knocked it out of the park with the Z06. Can’t wait to see your ZR1 content!

Austin you're a very talented young man!! You will do well in the ZR1 Corvette!! Keep your focus on Driving well!!👍🏽👊🏽

Would be great if there was a way to raffle the car you SP subscribers. If we all bought a ticket at 5$ he could potentially double his asking price and give over $100k to a charity as a tax deduction. Just a thought. I would love a chance to win this car while supporting the channel & charity.

He’s quite the actor

Seems obvious, 6 months is up, got the $5k in chevy points. Sell it for a profit, move onto another project. How did yall not see this coming

Yo Sell the McLaren. It's your oldest vehicle in the fleet and could still be worth the money. Z06 is to new. Get some miles in it, and get a set of street wheels that are alloy, metal. For non track use..... Good to see you doing well even with all you've had to deal with..... Blessings...........

But still thank you for all the great content! Best C8 ZO6 videos anywhere!

as a c8 owner I thank you for your work. reconfirms my fears that chevy didnt invest the time or money to maintain the c8 corvette line properly nor responsibly. There is nobody in Oklahoma i trust taking my corvette to. get what you pay for - thats the trade off between chevy and those other guys like ferrari or porsche

Very excited to see your future video with your next new ZR1 , thank you to share all that with us 👍

I love your vids. I’ve been to bowling green, watched the C8s going to their owners… etc. I’ve been wanting a Z06… went for a C8, bought a 2SS 1LE.

You shouldn't sell it. That's probably the best gas powered Corvette for the track that Chevy will ever make.

Your channel made me fall in love with Corvette 🥹❤️ I shall miss this one. Godspeed Speed Phenom C8 💔

Time to load up the Z06 and ship to Germany to do some testing on the Ring against some GT3 RS Porsche with Misha Charoudin, just different lightweight rims.

I CALLED IT, ON HIS TIRES VIDEO LOL

And yet you had to go to a Ferrari dealership to change your rims. That tells you everything that you need to know about GM.

Hello Austin I just got my C8 Z06 order a 1100 status at GM a preliminary status but very excited 😊

After watching what you went through with the tires. I woyld never purchased anything from chevy again, Imagine what the hassle would have been like with something more serious

My 720s is fully clear PPF-wrapped. Wrapping it on both the Corvette and McLaren can be pricey due to their shape, but I find it worth it. It's easy to clean, quick, and always flawless. Should boost the resale value.

Wow, $225,000. At least you make a great profit.

Austin I complement you for being a corvette owner who put the car though its paces. I think you should drive from SO Cal to Washington State

It's time to let the Z06 go, it's still a fantastic car, but the real fun is in the ZR1. I just hope GM doesn't take too long to introduce the car, but now is the perfect time to sell the Z06 before it starts to go down in value. We asked for track videos with the Z06 and you delivered, even though it wasn't cheap. thanks

Ok that statement is a young one! I understand young love❤ your sister is wise ask her first love or moving on? Of course your bank your mind set. Best of luck either way!!! ✌

This is about the 2nd video I’ve seen from this guy , the first was a flat tire on the way to Vegas. He’s been to all these tracks & driven , I guess what I’d like to see is him take a manual car on the track & then I may be impressed !

$225k ? What’s the msrp on it?

Thanks for all the content on the ZO6 and issues you had. Also every owner should thank you for getting Chevrolet to change the $5K bonus and making all of the Z06 owners aware of the problem. Hope the ZR1 comes out late next year. Thank you.

Good luck with sale my friend!

My only question is, what kind of job do you do? I must be doing something wrong 😅.

Can we get just one last track video the Z06 being on Laguna Seca? Please please please? It needs to happen as soon as possible.

why not sell it to a chevy dealership and lockin an allocation for a ZR1 ?

Austin can you help me locate all seasons for my Z06? Can you do a vlog “why can’t a Z06 owner get Michelin all seasons for a Z06?” The new ERay will have all seasons as stock with same fitment and can’t find them. You could do another good deed by bringing exposure to this issue. When I go to Colorado many evenings even in summer in 30’s and 40’s. I’d really appreciate it. Just one video might get job done. And we should promote having all seasons it could have helped you on your cross country trip and ZR1 should have thereby extending more than 6 months of use in colder climates or areas with altitude. Please help! Stephen R. Austin please answer this

I have to ask. Should I get the z06 or Raptor R? I have a reservation for z06 at msrp but I am a gen 1 raptor owner and Raptor guy. I can only have 1.

"Im just a regular guy" regular guys aren't buying mclarens and other supercars haha but I get what you mean. Still gotta work for that 💰

He’s living my dream life man I’ll get there one day just takes time

You gotta put down a deposit for the ZR 1. It's the next big Corvette for the channel. Don't leave it late. Good luck 🤞

Austin, you've had a good run! Time for the ZR1 and the McLaren. The Zo6 will make someone else happy!

I have a regret too - watching your YiuTube videos.

Are you planning to get the ERay?

Low miles, never been raced. Completely original including wheels/tires.

How much does it cost to wrap the car?

I think you did a very fine job showing this car off.

I use the same step stool!

No track test on the electric model? Would love to see that.

Insane Corvette dude !! ❤❤

I took delivery of a Z06. Two thousand mile mark my check engine light comes on, Brought it in, it, kept coming on next thing. You know they said I had to replace an entire transmission at the three thousand mile mark. Then they had my car for 3 months , And I had Paid off two hundred and fifteen thousand dollar Z06. Also, I had things set up for appearances and lost thirty five k, and I could not sell my car for 6 months. I took delivery of a Z06/Z07. Then the manager in houston, texas on I10 in kirkwood the gm Josh. I asked for 3 months a payments in three insurance payments. Which when it came out to sixteen thousand six hundred and sixty six dollars. They refuse to pay it plus I asked for a 100000 mile warranty. He said he would give me that, but he. Refused to pay any money while I didn't have that car for 3 months. So I lost that on $35000. It appearances plus they refused to give me 16000 back for 3 months of having my vehicle. And it just took them one month to even give me a replacement on a tire. I love the car Dunkin'. Wrong but the service from GM trash. I will never buy another core vet again

How much shipped to PA? Thanks

$181k..good luck ! Wow

He should keep the ZO6

Thank you so much for all your Z06 coverage. I cannot wait to see what you do with next corvette that you get. Hats off !!

All that peace and quiet and nature at the start.... And then here comes trouble :)

Great work Austin

How does the Z06 compare in performance to the new Hybrid Corvette

Sounds like hes trying to make a case for why he should get a low build number zr1 or something

I wanted to see the Z06 time compared to the 750 Maclaren

Seems like all of the people who clamored to get an early Z06 are now dumping them.

Any thoughts on the rezvani beast z06 it's interesting to say the least

$224k on Autotrader

Hat's off to you! You've wrung more out of this car than any 20 other owners have gotten out of their cars. You probably have learned as much about this car as the developers themselves. I suppose it's time to get the latest...so that you can create the greatest content. Hoping you get all the money out of it that you need.

My disappointment with the C8 Z06 is with the weight. I wish they would have done something for weight reduction. Otherwise, I think it is a great car. I enjoy your channel.

I thought you learned you lesson about Carbon Fiber wheels with the Ford GT500. 😮

23! I forget what I was doing!

You did a great job in showing America what the corvette represents

I just want the base vette at the promised msrp of $60.000!

Love the “Elvis” look ! Very sharp !!

No regrets to have, there is plenty of prettier and more exclusive car! Regrets for a 186KUS GM mass production LOLOL!

I wouldn't call it a regret saying the C8 coverage blew your followers up and your channel has greatly benefited from the car.

I hope you didn't hurt your elbow patting yourself on the back during this infommercial.

No surprised your selling the beautiful Z06, but why keep two Mclaren’s? More profit in selling the Z06. I think most of the lucky KZfaqrs that got early allocations have sold there’s too.

I’ll be trading up my Z06 to the next C8 variant too. No shame in that whatsoever!

I'm more excited about a 2007 Corvette ZO6 than this. A tune, and some other added mods and it's faster than this new one is.

Must Be Nice.. I gave up on trying to find a used Camaro with the auto trans. For a fair price, anyway I gave up... I am going to try and save for another 2 years and see what happens..

❤Thank you for sharing God bless you

Chevrolet says, A New 2024 Corvette only cost $66K .............With $186K you could buy 3 New Corvettes, LOL !

yea early adopters are expensive !?, corvette is ment to be the affordable sports car :) might not be long 2020 models etc be less than $60K woot

Question? Do you intend to make a profit on the sale of this car?

I do not understand??? The tire and wheel issue was resolved??? Per your own content? And again tires they showed you an alternative plus your (I hope) your own landscape??? Please enlighten us?

I am on my 7th Corvette and I have won more first place in car shows, i should start my own channel. every one was modified. Even my 96 corvette, but only slightly. By the time the price becomes collector prices, I will be long gone.

I go through cars quickly myself so I understand 😊

What did PPF cost for the Z06 and how long does it last? Good luck on your ZR1 adventure.

Interesting lead into your vid as it implies you made a costly mistake purchasing your Z06 which was not what this vid was about at all. Kind of a bait and switch teaser which is not what you are known for. As with your GT 500 sale, you will have no problem moving this ultra fine vehicle. Good success with your new vehicle purrchases as your videos are always super informative and well produced.

Mine was 240K and it's the best bang for the buck car around. I love mine! More comfortable than Lamborghini and Ferraris I owned. Convertible down driving in the desert is incredible. Great handling for the size and power. But for the channel I get it. But just sad that you regret your purchase. I think it's a bargain. Especially with carbon ceramic brakes. Just perfect

Would you say your GT350R was more enjoyable than most of the cars you’ve owned?

Some Chinese high school students owe half million dollars cars, that’s crazy 😂
