What is UP UA-cam? Welcome to Fred's Full Throttle!
Some time has passed, quite a lot of time. I've seen lots of comments, wondering where I went, why I haven't been making videos, and if I'd dropped off the face of the planet. For those that have emailed me, commented, and reached out, I really appreciate it. That support and interest means a lot, and it's taken me a lot to get back to this point.

I'm choosing instead to focus on enjoying my time as much as I can, and fit videos in...

To the cheeps to the expensive that generation of corvette is just kind of perfect. And 400hp is good enough to enjoy it and have fun.
Nice work Fred, hope you remember me (Rashid) 💻
Lewis Jeffrey Walker Shirley Walker Kevin
They are similar priced right now and im also leaning towards the grand sport. I dont need the extra 200hp for a car that corners exactly the same
Sure coming from a guy who does this for a living . Haahaa
I dont see no one here mentioned how much depreciation Grand Sport has over any Z06. Waste of money overall. Z06 carries value and doesnt depreciate as much.

Got xpel on my Ranger’s hood instead of an ugly looking, leaf catching, needs holes made, stone deflector.
Listening to this video with $20k worth of debt is depressing
Fords ppf is 400 before install fees. it’s not the whole car but it’s several portions so I’m wondering what kind of crap they are using lol
The only con is price. I’ve had several 911 GT3s. The Z07 Z06 package in tour mode is a much more comfortable ride than the GT3. The tour mode is pure heaven for riding
I noticed you had your Corvette delivered to your residence. Do you recall what they charged? You said you were a couple of states away. I am in Vermont. Just curious what the charge was. Thanks in advance.
I was just watching your video on how you could afford your Corvette. I was wondering if they charged you for the delivery? And if they did, what did they charge? And what state did they deliver it to? Thanks in advance.
I’m just wondering what did they charge you for delivery? And what state did they deliver it to?
I owned the Stingray coupe and traded for HTC. Aside from all pros for HTC, the biggest difference for me was 'injector ticking noise'. HTC eliminates it with the plastic cover and the lid on top of the engine! I also hear the exhaust better by lowering the rear window compared to coupe. Wonder if this is the case for Z06 too, appreciate Z06 coupe owners comments⁉
good to see you back!!
Do you know what each seat weighs?
Very thorough. Well done. TY
Cant imagine not having the HTC, its a no brainer
Welcome back Fred! You were missed. Glad to see that your life has settled down and you are in a good place (body and mind). Take care of yourself first. Looking forward to your next vid.
Fred, you’re awesome man, thanks for the update and glad you’re well!
Thanks for the great content Fred! I just bought a 2019 Grand Sport (7spd FTW) and I’m really enjoying it! Your channel was a big influence in my decision and I just wanted to say thank you 👊🏽
GREAT TO SEE AND HEAR YOU ON UA-cam! Hope you’re doing well and enjoying life! Your Subscribers Love You Man! Good Luck with the New Job! The Grand Sport looked like a lot of fun on the Track!!! THE ZR1 IS AMAZING. What does 37 pounds of thrust translate to in pushing the car down the road? Don’t Worry, Be Happy 😊
Cheers to you Fred! I'm glad to hear that life is treating you well!!
Great to hear from you Fred! Glad you're doing good. Nice to see the lemons car under power.
Dear Fred. So glad you’re back. You were missed. I missed mostly your insight and your passion. You’re always upbeat and fun to watch. I bought a Z06 while you were gone. I followed many of your recommendations. I think you would be pleased. On to happier times! Welcome Home Clay
Hi Clay, I appreciate it, thank you! Congrats on the Z06! How are you liking it so far? Have a nice evening! -Fred
@@FredsFullThrottle How do I like it? I got the R8C option. My office had a watch party. IThe car is the thrill of my lifetime.
Saw that OEM Toyota battery. You do take care of your truck. Great video. Thanks.
Grand sport is a boomer spec
Haha, says someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. Have a nice day!
@@FredsFullThrottle How many vette's do I need to own to know what i'm talking about?
@@bolivar4537why do you say it’s a boomer spec?
Fred, i followed your video about tacoma headlight replacement and loved my result as well. I thought you had mentioned replacing your fog lamps as well? I would like to do the same and was hoping you had some advice. I prefer stock look, but looking for better light, maybe led? I have also read some interesting options of having led white and yellow in same bulb, toggle back and forth with switch. Im an 08 tacoma owner. Thanks for any insight. Jamie
I have comp seats in my 24 z06 and can attest that they are much more comfortable than the c7 comp seats…great padding and the adjustments form fit you for some spirited driving…
I almost bought a Z06 with Z07 package and CF wheels but it was over my budget so at the end I finished buying a Z06 HTC anniversary edition Lucky me Now I'm feeling better after watching your video thanks
Fred, like others below me, looking for an update. MacMulkin has reached out to me for my C8 Z06 build and I believe you were lower on the deposit list. Looking forward to a new vid.
I just posted a new video today :) It's been a long time since a real update, and this video explains what I was dealing with, and where I'm at. Hoping to make more soon!
Good Solid informative review except for break in procedures not covered
Hello. This is Cherry from Coverado. Are you interested in working with us to try our Tacoma custom seat covers and help us make a video? May I have your ema/il?
Fred. What happened to you. I am eagerly waiting for more C8 content. Want to know how your quest is wrt getting a Z06. Where did you go?
Def one of my goals one day
When’s next video brother?
Just uploaded it! Bear with me, it explains some things, but has trackday footage and the lemons car!
I live in new England and am kinda laughing at this a little, A road like this is boring in comparison to some of the other stuff, I mean like tail of the dragon is just as nice as some of the roads I got near my house. Its windy enough for me in my 88 camry base model (manual) to keep up with a 981 cayman S. Ive caught air in a touge battle against an FC RX-7. If you know where to look, the roads out here can be crazy
To each his own, but whoever was driving the 981 needs some lessons if you can keep up in the Camry. I have yet to find better roads for no traffic, lots of elevation changes and turns, miles and miles of great views, one after the other. If you have something worth bragging about, post the roads and I'll go check them out!
Is your car admiral blue or Elkhart Lake Metallic? looks super clean!
Admiral Blue Metallic, thanks!
Which one sounds louder between sport & track
Thanks for your video, I watched it several times, passed up C8 Z06 that was marked up 20,000, order one from the same dealership, got all options I want with no constraints, end up paying 2500 markup, For what I wanted. Thanks
fing d truck
It’s great. But it’s expensive AF!!
Agreed

So you don’t use rev match ? Can you no lift with rev match on ?
Of course you can.
I do this a different way I use revmatch on upshifts it works great
Also Fred, you got your car PPFd when you bought it, was curious how soon you had to redo it and if you found it to yellow at all?
Haven't had to redo it yet, no yellowing, cracking or drying out. Xpel Ultimate is what I had put on. At some point here I'll take it to an Xpel place and have them look it over, but it still seems as flexible/resilient and looks as good as the day I got it. I am not sure if using the Xpel branded soap for every wash (and washing it every other drive) has helped. It says it conditions it, but I don't know how true that is.
@@FredsFullThrottle well just got my Z06 and had it PPFd and will follow your regimen! Thanks man!
Hey Fred, I have been watching from way back and also took a break, you’re still my favorite content creator, especially your corvette content! Just wanted to tell you it looks like I’m getting go to order my Z06, super pumped! Hope to make it out your way someday for a ride swap day!
It's a nice car but I guess I would have got a Z51 and saved some money
Totally viable option for sure. Now that I'm doing lots of track time in the car, the features of the GS really make a difference. A Z-51 is great for on road and probably all anyone would really need unless they wanted more power, but the suspension, wider tires, and significant additional cooling in the GS really pay off.
