Corvette C6 Z06 2007 - New rebuilt engine - Around 600 hp - It's crazy fast - Ohlins TTX suspension - Pirelli Trofeo R tires on stock wheels. Much traffic but still a really quick lap.

In Kentucky, from where the car originated, that kinda driving is callled "Running faster than a scalded dog!" Hope the passenger enjoyed themselves. That car looks like it runs on a rail in the turns.

The engine sound omg, vette makes the best engine sound for the prices!

This is why, despite there being much newer offerings, I still want a C6 Z06. I love that my Cobalt SS has the exact same steering wheel.

Huge Vette fan, but that's hardly what I would call 'heavy traffic' on the Nurburgring. If anything, that was pretty light for that track. Though a 7:33 is still impressive with any traffic.

Absolutely amazing how this car performs in the hands of someone who knows what he's doing. Smoking 911s like they weren't even there. Incredible piece of machinery and engineering.

The sound of an LS engine from the cabin is pretty unmistakable.

The LS7 is the definition of grunt. It makes tons of torque everywhere. Those Porsches were trying, but the torque is unstoppable.

It's crazy how much the C6Z has gone up in prices, but then again I can see why. Still a great bang for the buck.

I mean a z06 is a supercar-esque performer and would probably ice anything within x2 of its MSRP, but I don't think those porsche drivers were driving them very hard

Those tires and that suspension set up we’re doing WORK. The way that car stayed planted @exit thru several of those corners under mad power is very impressive. All together a very good display of driver ability and car set up /configuration knowledge. Put to work out on one of the most iconic tracks on the planet. BRAVO!!!! 😁😂😅🫡👏

Nice video and great lap! As the owner of 2 C6 Zs, this video makes me smile. My '09 3LZ is a garage queen and my '08 2LZ is a 700 hp gutted track monster...all motor. I love my 2021 Z51, and I love the DCT, but there is still no replacement for a manual gearbox in my opinion.

I have had some trouble to get the fifth gear in sometimes so when I feel it wouldn't go in (that fast as I want) I back of my hand and rev the engine and then get it in smooth.
