Having owned all but the c8z. I must say. They all are very special. The C7z is a true sports car. The c6z is as raw as a Vette can get. And the c5z is great platform to learn chasis balance.
Interesting to hear what Oliver thinks. I saw so many comments the last year of people saying the C8 Z06 wouldn’t hold a candle to the C7 Z06. C8 really looks amazing, and you are going to be driving one on the track Rick! Enjoy
Thanks! I have an 01 Z06 that I've owned for 19 years. It was good to see one on the track. Waiting for my Stingray HTC that has a build week of the 17th of this month.
I got the last of the real corvettes, c7 z06 with a manual. Yeah the automatic shifts faster but it is boring as heck. I traded in my other c7 with the auto for one with the manual. The c8 z06 is nothing Corvette. GM should have introduced a nee model name and left corvette alone. This thing sounds like a Ferrari 👎.
@@kiddt1999 I totally respect your opinion...different strokes for different folks. If everyone liked the same thing, the world would be boring. Personally, I have liked Corvettes in the past, but never enough to buy one...until the C8. GM knocked it out of the park IMO, and after 14+ months, took delivery of my 23 C8 coupe in July, and I absolutely love it! The Z06 is out of my price range, but to the folks that will be lucky enough to own one, I bet they will be driving around with perma-grin every time they are behind the wheel!
@@keppthorn2997 i hear you. I just wish they would have called it something else. This is a game changer and an amazing car but it isn’t Corvette. No nostalgia at all. I really wish they offered a manual and then maybe i could see past everything else.
I took delivery of my c8 in October of 2020. I am still grinning ear to ear when I take it down a hilly and winding road! I imagine my grin couldn't be removed if I had the c8 z06!
No no bs that c8 isn’t passing the 7 like that in a straight and obviously off the rip the C5 was not trying as the 6 passed geez 5 seconds each?? Sorry this wouldn’t happen unless Nurburgring or some big track. Obviously the ring it would be a huge difference by the end but the handling isn’t far enough ahead from one platform to the next to pull this off in that short time. I call bs
Chevy doesn’t get enough credit with what they’ve been able to achieve with the Corvette in the last 2 decades. They seem to be showing no signs of slowing down 💪
Total Bs, it takes more than that for the C8 Z06 to pass the C6 and C7 Z06, I have already been on a track with a C8 z06 and while it is slightly faster its nothing like you see in this video, way to make a promotional video for the C8
I want a C7 ZR1 too ! you can have the C8 Z06 I dont mind waiting it out a few years. I prefer to stack up rather than trade up, each one has uniqueness
C8 z06 doesn't stand a chance vs the c7z on a track. Take 2 windows and watch speed phenom with his lap record of 2:25 - ua-cam.com/video/JXVUPvIzXzA/v-deo.html compared to stock c7 z06 2:17 - ua-cam.com/video/wrLc2GmE7NA/v-deo.html
Hi RICK, hope you didn’t forget me. I will be ordering the 75th anniversary from you. Hopefully things will be back to normal. I thought they would be by the time the 70th anniversary came out but it’s still been a nightmare. Anyway I love your channel it’s very informative and very interesting. It’s totally CORVETTE and I love it. Looking forward to speaking with you someday hopefully in 2023 or 2024…. Respectfully, Jimmy USAF 🇺🇸✈️😇🙏✝️💜👍🇮🇹
The C6 is the best-looking. C8 no doubt the most capable performer but looks too foreign for my pro=American tastes. C7 and C8 rears look too cluttered.
Now I understand why everyday guys do better making these types of videos. Journalists have to behave. They must stay professional. They barely raise their voices in excitement. 😮💨this video was like watching a very short turtle race with a 12 inch track.
GREAT COMERCIAL FOR C8 Z06, DO THEY NEED TO ADVERTISE THO LOL ....I CALL DEFINETLY STAGED !!! not saying the C8 wont outperform the C7.... not that easily though, You put a professional race car driver in the C8 vs engineers etc in the other 3 generations for starters then there's the fact that the C8 is 20 HP up on the C7 its also a few hundred pounds heavier than the C7... so no its not going to just blast by everything no effort al all c'mon guys... If your going to do it do it with some integrity. Like to see this with a professional behind the wheel in all of the cars. For the record apparently the C6 was actually the preferred car prior to the C8 on the track by a certain performance driving school because it was more predictable in the corners due to it being naturally aspirated vs the supercharger and the insane amount of torque in the lower rpms ( allegedly reliable source who has taken the course with 3 of the earlier generations )
One is under an aero disadvantage with the light bar across the top . I was expecting a drag race though. Disappointing video and a waste of time without a drag race.
I was expecting an actual test not just a casual drive.
click bait that worked on me also.
@@RadWorlock exactly
They need driver with 100TW tire on all to go all out for best lap comparison same day.
Nice to see them on the track together. Too bad this was pure marketing BS.

The sound of the LS7 (C6Z) taking off 👌
C7 ZO6 THE BEST LOOKING CORVETTE!💪💪💪
I agree with you bro 100 percent
@@TrailWayzz I will second that, no im not hating on the C8... it is a beautiful car but overall....
Loved my '02 Z06. They just keep getting better with every generation. Thanks
I'd like to see the instructors at Spring Mountain go at it, C7 Z06 versus C8 Z06 for a true comparison.
that WOULD be a good one, yes!
@@RickCorvetteConti that’s the one im waiting on!!!!!C7 Z06 all day
I agree bro!
@TrailWayzz add a fixed c6 z06(heads cam) and make it really interesting!
Interesting to hear what Oliver thinks. I saw so many comments the last year of people saying the C8 Z06 wouldn’t hold a candle to the C7 Z06. C8 really looks amazing, and you are going to be driving one on the track Rick! Enjoy
Dreaming of the C8 Z06 while driving the C8 Stingray is as close as I'll ever get.
Slap that supercharger on it.
@@lee1130fromtwitter exactly and it will cost less than getting a z06... 17k for 230hp that put that C8 over 700hp..
@@Choke522 very tru
Good afternoon bud I hope and pray all is well with you again thank you for the great country and for keeping all of all us Corvettes lovers inform👍🏽
C5 Z06 is still King
Thanks! I have an 01 Z06 that I've owned for 19 years. It was good to see one on the track. Waiting for my Stingray HTC that has a build week of the 17th of this month.
I don’t think a C8 is passing a C7 Z like that on that last straight. Fun to see them all here none the less
wtf 💀i was expecting an actuall race, wtf is this a casual drive?💀u can literally see the c6 letting go of the gas 🤣
C7 still looks the best out of the 4.
Hi rick I am getting a trunk Open on my dash but it is closed how can I fix because the htc will not operate with this problem
Comparison? What Comparison? C8 Z06 took em all to Gapplebees and chose to dine and dash, sticking the other gen Zs with the bill!!!

which track is this?
Amazing car, if only they could match the production to the orders
STFU! SUPLLY CHAIN ring a bell!
Not going to happen
Wow - this makes the amazing performance improvement visible
I would LOVE to see the Spring Mountain instructors do a head to head on the C7 ZR1 VS C8 Z06! Bets on the winner? Anyone? My money is on the ZR1!
Love the C6 pace car! Can you tell me about the light bar? I’m looking to upgrade my 08 Gatorade Duels pace car.
that's from Chevrolet
@@RickCorvetteConti do they sell them to the public? I’ve got a rare car. Only 2 made
What were the laptimes of each gen?
I think Ya'll was actually scared to see that 427 whoop the C8 Ass
C6Z the best there ever was and ever will.
They had to end with the C8 in front because it's their newest generation can't have a C7 or a C6 beat it just wouldn't look good
Comparison ? I’m not sure why this video was even created ..
Very cool. Get the C7 if wanting to save $ but a stingray c8 is my pick
Do I need to activate Windows?
Chevy doesn’t get enough credit with what they’ve been able to achieve with the Corvette in the last 2 decades. They seem to be showing no signs of slowing down 💪
Can you talk about how this same z06 beat BOTH cars Amelia Hartford raced?
I’ll get a used c8 zo6 when they are under 100k. In addition to my Shelby of course.
I have a C6 Z06 which I absolutely love! But wow the C8 is Amazing! Maybe some day......
When someday gets here for you, I would still hang onto that C6Z... That car is legendary
@@chriscrowell6678 great advice. Thanks
Why is the c8 z06 faster than c7 z06 when it has almost 200 less torque? I thought torque wins races
The c8 isnt faster, the guy in the c7 wasn't really trying because all the point with that video is to show the c8 and not the c7
Nice script GM....now hunt down parts to build it. Best Rick!
the c8 overtook the c5 and c6 with ease. Could not catch the c7???

Missing the C2!
Did not come in z06 model
@@THE-HOLY-SPIRIT It was available as a package.
So the C7 and 6 pushing the same amount of HP was easily caught and passed??? Don’t think so.
How much fun would be.....YEHA
Okay, now I want C7 ZR1 vs C8 Z06!
I want a C7 ZR1 too ! you can have the C8 Z06 I dont mind waiting it out a few years. I prefer to stack up rather than trade up, each one has uniqueness
C6 is my choice…😮
Now show us a 1/4 mile drag. All 4 cars get drag radials only.😈
C5 anyday
Can we get the RING TIME!
Where is the first one? You state all, and not the original Z06? 😂😂
C8 z06 doesn't stand a chance vs the c7z on a track. Take 2 windows and watch speed phenom with his lap record of 2:25 - ua-cam.com/video/JXVUPvIzXzA/v-deo.html compared to stock c7 z06 2:17 - ua-cam.com/video/wrLc2GmE7NA/v-deo.html
That was too cool 4 school.🏎
Awesome can't wait to pick mine up
They’re all cool.
Outstanding video. Maybe show the long version for us dreamers. Thank you.
lol yeah coming around a corner going down a straight two car lengths behind the c7 and you pass it . nope don't think so
I have a c7z with a wing and decent tires. And c8z isn't as fast.
c6 zo6 all day. put pilot cup 2 tires on all 4 and watch the c6 zo6 then
Not really that comparable if you break it down by horsepower at least...
405 HP
505 HP
650 HP
670 HP

If this isn't staged, then I'm a walrus.
When you put “vs” in the thumbnail people expect to see a race.
Not a fair comparison. Arguably one of the best GT drivers on the planet vs 3 pencil pushers. 🤔

Bullsnot setup race. That last corner was bs editing

Ok. So this is just an advertisement. There no comparison. Thumbs down.
Now This is true car porn sound the horn!
c5 boys are sad.
Lame. Not what the people wanted to see at all
wtf...
Clickbait!
The c7 z06 is faster than the c8 z06.
Crrrrappp
Wtf is this bs I was expecting real racing
c7 Z06 is unfortunately the last real Corvette, the C8 is a defaced sports car with no character and charm, it's a shame that Corvette chose this path
All those ZO6's there and no heads up drag race?? LAME.
maybe there is an actual drag coming...they filmed a lot there that day I heard
I was waiting😮
Lame..
