Better late than never. The handling on the C8 is fantastic

Much appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for checking it out!

I totally agree with you on this. They should’ve kept building front engine Corvettes and called this thing something totally different. I’ve been saying that for 4 yrs! I’m in love with my C8 Z07 ✌🏼

Great story and take on the new Z06

@2020matrix8 Something like the C7 with the LT6 and a dual clutch transaxle… that would have been wild!

I think they should have just kept more of the traditional Corvette styling cues. Ford also diluted the Mustang brand with the ridiculous EV.

@MS-1994 the Mach E should have been named the Galax-E … revive an old name. Would have been cool!

Do you get check engine lights?

We imagine that sounds beautiful!!

California would love you, they need the money.

@@Lagann0 yep although I just clear them and go on about my way

@@2020matrix8 do you think there would be warranty issue with them then? I want them butt afraid of potential warranty complications.

That’s a good idea! This C8Z is coming back once Corsa finishes some carbon fiber parts 😁 They’re both red, too….

@@petersonperformanceCO Comparison videos typically do pretty well! Two red Corvettes with the Garden of the Gods in the background would make a great thumbnail photo 🔥

That’s very true. By the time the power is being delivered (4k rpm-ish), already rolling along pretty well. The power delivery is so smooth and progressive. Very predictable! We have also ProCharged base model C8s and they spin the tires a little easier (until we put on Signature wheels and Toyo R888R tires haha). It’s been a debate at the shop between N/A C8Z or boosted C8. Both are very fun and feel extremely planted to the ground! Thanks for watching!!

@@petersonperformanceCO Agree but the C8Z is so much more fun winding out those never ending gears!

@@Be_Dat1dude Same as my mods but I also have Soul Sport Cats. So no CEL yet? How many miles have you driven since adding the parts? I took my ported throttle bodies back off because I think it literally made the car too quick on the low end. Every time I would hit it at 6k RPM the traction control would kick in. Now it just sticks and goes. I guess More HP isn’t always the solution. The cats are the #1 mod that will blow your mind. You have to do them!!!

@@2020matrix8 Yep No CEL (knocking on Wood) I have driven 5200K in total and north of 1700 since the mod's. The low end power is definitely there. I did a recent 0-60 @ 2.5 but could only get it one time the rest were either 2.8, 2.9 or 3.1 (not in order). Besides the added sound what did the CATS give you - this would likely be the last bolt one mod I do. I think the biggest plus has been the Eventuri Intake

@@Be_Dat1dude yep the cats would complete it. Everyone else that I know that has done the cats get a CEL every 1000 miles or so but we just clear them with the cheap code reader and go on our way. If I was only forced to be able to do one mod and one only it would have to be the cats 100%.

some people want more and thats why they buy it not everyone is gonna have the same opinion as you

The pushrod motors definitely sound pretty great, especially with a cam and something like a Borla exhaust! Earth shaking 😁

@@kennethantisdel9850 have you ever heard a Z06 in person or going by you at 7k or 8k in second gear? If you had, you wouldn’t think it sounds like a honeybee. Sounds more like Zeus riding a pack of Ducati’s, pure thunder. Speakers are only able to capture the high-pitched sound of this car. That’s unfortunate because you can seriously feel this car in your chest when you’re close to it or in another car when it goes by. But to be fair, I do have an aftermarket titanium, exhaust and high flow cats, but still.

​​@@2020matrix8 Zeus riding a pack of Ducatis. Absolutely amazing visual 😂

I agree with original comment. I have owned a C8Z since last summer first FPC engine and think it sounds great from outside and harsh and raspy like a honey bee from inside cabin. Great car, think lots of pushrod V8 predecessors sound better

@@jameswillard1 Throw a Titanium, exhaust and high flow cats on it, Then you will then get the low thundering rumble all you guys are missing. totally transforms the car, especially on the low tone.

little man syndrome! if you let a car define you as a person thats sad ash lmao
