@@andrez1142 Apparently you didn't notice my avatar. Anyhow, I've owned my Heads/Cam/LT/intake/tuned 08 C6 Z06 since 2017. I've have been driving fast cars aggressively on the street for the past 30 years.
Nice video of a ride in Z06 through town and country-side. Best part was there was no annoying music, just the sound of that engine exhaust. Congrats on the car.
Nice car, I also own one. Now the thing is to be relax, smooth driving. You look stressed out, keep the hands on the wheel and when you are about to shift then take one hand to the stick. You look undecided to shift or not to shift. Keep pushing and practice. You have a great car to carve curves.👍👍👍
Thank you! I was pretty nervous plus this was really early into my ownership of this car. Probably a little camera shy too lol! I’d love to go to the canyons or something someday! Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel!
@@CaylebPletos yes I will it happened to me, once you get used to the speed of these insane cars, know their limits, this is the best sensation of controlling this absurd beast. Wish you the best in your chanel .👍👍👍
Thanks so much, I’m still getting used to the car, only put like 500 miles on it so far, but once I’ve get up to like 5.5k I start to spin pretty bad as well. Hopefully I’ll be banging through gears better soon ☺️
Redlining the ls7 is actually not the best idea it puts a lot of unnecessary wear on that engine plus peak power is hit well before 7,000 rpm in this thing
You should at least have your radar detector in use, if your going to drive like that, cause you never know when the trooper might be shooting around the curve. fifteen over the speed limit and your toast.
@@CaylebPletos I got the S3 or S4 Solo not really sure but I got it because it was cordless and you can store it quickly when going in somewhere. But it has saved me a couple times. lol
What exactly are the head issues on these cars. I'm in the market for a vette but dont want to buy something I have to sink a ton of money into from the start
@@jrvbamafan1 hollow exhast valves and out of round valve guides. All model years for the z06 suffer and have a tendency to drop exhaust valves grenading the engine.
@@doyleboyscustoms3151 oh ok. Well damn I didnt know that. Makes me think twice about looking at a z06 now. I dont want to pick up something I've got to immediately get fixed. Appreciate the response
@@jrvbamafan1 these cars run for about 30k-40k. That being said if you find one for about 35 and go through rpm or another reputable shop for the head fix youll make it out without your pockets hurting. I just got lucky yesterday and found one with a built texas speed motor from rpm for 31k. Car has well over 40k into it
I truly hope you have a radar detector? I also enjoyed seeing the Vette ride through town. I needed to see the suspension at low speeds. BTW the Z06 is on a Z51 suspension, correct?
@@CaylebPletos It looked like a real nice ride, road-wise and sight-wise and sensible driving by you. Remember, until you get the heads done, speed and/or banging gears is not your friend. Stay safe, stay well and Save the Wave.
@@petercarey6883 It's a beautiful road, one of the best that I could find close by. Unfortunately, there is usually a decent amount of traffic on it and it's curvy enough that it's hard to pass.

Art 354 what do you mean? What’s your guess as to what happened? I’m still deciding between a C6Z or C7 stingray and one detouring factor is the C6Z seems to always break loose... I wish I knew why, it’s honestly a concern of mine
@@dylancoric3734 Yeah C6's are more wild, C7 is more civilized. But if you are experienced driver it shouldn't be a problem for you. It depends which one you like more in terms of appearance

Your driving makes me nervous, but what makes me more nervous is that grenade under the hood. Every time you start that engine, you take a chance of those valve guides failing and pulling the pin....
@@goldenmanuever1176 Cool a simple search on Corvette Forum will give you the numbers..It's a small percentage, besides if you're buying a Vette you can easily afford that fix.

What color is your Z06? That color is very sharp, I know its blue but what is the exact color? I want to buy mine in that color when i buy mine in the spring, thanks
Ripping? You seem nervous and short-shifting the whole time. More like cruising.
Bud this car has 650 hp. Have you ever driven one? 1 wrong move and youre in the ditch.

Corvette c6 zo6 my dream car🔥🔥🔥
ZR1 is the best
Roman shut tf up
I like both
I hate to be that guy, but WHY must you rest your hand on the shifter?
Never seen anyone so scared to take their hand off the wheel.
Bro in the dually was going crazy
Enjoy the car man, you're short-shifting way too much. I have a H/C/I C6Z06 and redline it any chance I get.

Mexico sure looks very similar to Michigan
That’s because it was winter in Mexico
That’s a beautiful color
Thank you!
Nice video and nice car bud.
Thank you!
turns away to no show zip, turns back to show it on the screen lol
The only time I don't like my C6 Z06 is when I have to go to the gas station LOL my God in Connecticut premium unleaded off-the-charts expensive. 😢
Beautiful car. But plz get your hand off the shifter
Oh to be young enough to get in and out of the Vette so easily...
The glance at the 911 as it passed
Awesome driving. Question. Is that north eastern United states. Those were some nice mansions that you drove pass.👍🏾👍🏾
And some bumpy bad roads.

Your right, I used to have one when I had my mustang but I got rid of it. It was a cheap one. I’d really like to get a nice one like an escort

No...stiffer springs and roll bars than a Z51 with different shock valving
Rear end got a little squirrelly on you for a second lol.
