@@RaitisRides You're right Apostle Joe! When you do another supercar review this is a term you and other journalists like you need to use: "This is the True Apostle to the Supercars" so you can let people know.
Wow. Wow. Wow. The Z06 with Z07 pack is truly epic. Amazing vehicle Absolutely brilliant video Joe. This is a Supercar, well done GM What a motor NA and an 8,600 rpm Big thanks to Lori. 🚗 💥 💨
You know what I like about your vids? Your ability to roll through LONG takes. Even if you flub, you're quick enough to recover. Great stuff, as usual.
Great review. So, I happened to surprise my wife with a 2022 C8 LT2 with the Z51 package. We both had corvettes when we first met in our twenties. So, it was a sentimental purchase. I've been a car enthusiast since I was a teen. Had muscle cars, then bought my first vette 1962 at 21. It was semi customized, and it was and still is beautiful. It was a great feel to own, just not a great drive. but a head turner! So, she took delivery of the C8 in March of 2022. She now has 11k miles on it (two long road trips attributed to half that mileage). She has no hesitation pushing the envelope with it. We do track it locally and even get it on a drag strip with some of the muscle cars. I am not a typical collector as we own them to use and really enjoy them. We've had several other corvettes, and the C8 is impressive as its unlike any of the previous generations. The mid engine dual 8 speed clutch and much more chevy implemented changed the game for the corvette. Now it's a far cry from the two Ferrari's. A 2020 F8 Tributo & 2019 Ferrari 488 GTB! You're also talking about a hugh sticker price difference. We have 7 adult children and our 5th grandchild due soon, but there is still room for another car. I always wanted a Z06, so I have one on order, but a 2023 delivery is questionable. The vettes are just in my blood, but lean towards the Italian super cars.
I have a C7 and love it, but WOW! The sound alone of this Z06 is amazing. They FINALLY added sound to the factory exhaust instead of having to spend extra money to get a sound car people like!! Great review and I loved watching you on the track!!
When you look to the recent past (in terms of vette models) it's just mind-blowing that we are even talking about, let alone seeing and hearing, a mid-engine, flat-plane crankshaft'd - American exotic car! Love it! Joe and Lori - Congrats on another great milestone!
I remember almost 5 years ago when I said you were the best car reviewer on the tube, and look at you now. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. I’m looking forward to seeing you hit the big 1 million subs mark. Very well-deserved.
"The sound is just CRAZY!" (28:02) I really appreciate your enthusiasm. As I watched you drive these beautiful cars around the track I felt the same amount of joy I experienced when I played Super Monaco GP on my Sega Genesis for the very first time. Thank you for providing us with videos that help us maintain a youthful attitude.
I remember going to any car dealership and finding 4 or 5 of whatever type of car you wanted without worrying about the dealership scams with the markups
Continuing to produce NA power and thank you chevy for doing so. The V8 still stands won’t die now. I just wish we got a manual with this. That DCT does wonders
This car is intriguing to me and to other fellow enthusiasts. The on throttle action was spot on the money. What was missing was the on throttle branded twinkies😂😂 Lori working working that camera like a champ like she always does,thank you Joe and Lori for all you do, and just always Joe, Lori,I'll see you on the next ride!
I just recently bought a C6 Z51 3LT corvette and well after having it for a month now I can honestly say that GM made me feel like I was driving in a video game... I can only imagine what the C8 Z06 is like 👍... Having all the modes listed with "Power Bars" only makes the future that more exciting for the corvette
Joe went Mob Boss with that leaf!😂😎 The C8 Z06 is a high performance masterpiece from GM, though they kinda frustrated a lot of Corvette customers with how they introduced the car. Excellent review, Joe! Respect to Lori for the camera work.
GM Marketing failed to manage pricing expectations with the ZO6, letting people assume the increase over the base car would be similar to past ZO6 models, which didn't have an all-new engine like this new one.
This is an impressive car. Inside and out I think it's pretty amazing. I love the fact that chevy did not hold back on this one. Us car guys and girls certainly appreciate your hard work in the making of these videos!
That was extremely fun, felt like I was on that racetrack. Too bad almost none of us can come close to being able to afford this beast. Maybe we could not even be able to afford the insurance.
To see the engine all you have to do is put the back into service mode. I just bought the 2023 C8 Convertible. In service mode you can see the engine. I did add a see threw engine compartment cover👍
I was t a big fan of the c8 when first rumored and after the release of the sting ray. After seeing it in person quite a few times and able to get behind the wheel of one, i gotta say corvette you really did your thing. What a machine and the engineering behind this is incredible!! My boy just got the zo6 and i cant wait to go for a ride in that beast!! Amazing jod Corvette!!
Nice review Joe! GM has built an incredible machine here! At MSRP, it is a steal compared to other vehicles it competes with. No doubt the dealer mark ups will put this one out of reach for the majority of people.
Joe is the funnest reviewer. I find myself Zonking stuff and just randomly thinking..."to the door panels!" Lets not forget trying to see how much junk food you can fit in different storage areas lol! On throttle!!!
On the racetrack, the LT6 V-8 in the Corvette Z06 is a monster. Around town on the street, it is meek like a lamb. Incredible engineering by Chevrolet, GM Powertrain, and the GM Performance Team.
Nice review! Yeah, this is the real deal! Much better looking than the somewhat awkward regular C8, but that engine and other performance goodies makes this a must have! A lotta car for the money. Really dig that color spec too! Nice job GM!
I'm in love with this car! This exact spec. What I wouldn't give ti get behind the wheel of it! That's a proper super car. I think this is the most beautiful Corvette to date, save the models from the 60s of course. That silver with blue interior really does it for me!
Chevy absolutely nailed this bad boy, this is everything I want in one, a big chevy v8, mid engine, tons of power, aerodynamic, low profile, not 200k, blue interior option
Great video Joe!!!! Really like the car but I am losing the attraction to it unfortunately. Got on the ZO6 list a year before the reveal which was 26 Oct 2021 and I still have to wait 2-3 more years. Thinking of getting the Mustang Dark Horse then trading it in for the Z in late 2024 or early 2025. The car is hampered by its weight just like the Mustang GT 500. I will see how the first year or two goes with the ZO6. The best two attributes are its looks and sound. How do you like it compared to your GT350R??? 😮 Lori always does an amazing job filming. I noticed that your speed improved as you got used to the blind curves and spots. Good work Joe! The interior is very impressive also. The option for the interior carbon fiber is $5K. I still think the base price at 106,395 is too high. That price doesn’t include the gas guzzler tax of ~~$2600 dollars. Plus you pay sales tax on top of the gas guzzler tax cost!!! That is a fucking rip-off‼️‼️🤷♂️👁️ I have already waited 2 years for this model. Another 2-2.5 to wait. Not sure I will get it. It is also extremely heavy ~~3700-3800 pounds 😮!!! Thanks Joe for doing the awesome video. Give your amazing wife a group hug too. You guys make a great Team!!!
Joe the only thing that would have made this video better is if you'd shown us a camera angle of the speedometer! Other than that, I was with you through every turn and straight away!
@@dannyd7714 Rubbish. Like any other manufacturer of the the time, they had other vehicles for comparison. There is not one interchangeable part on the C8 that will fit a 458.

In this case then the C8 outclasses the 458 easily.

What up Doe!? Another great vid RR! Growing up in Detroit the Corvette was the dream car most of us in the city wanted, going back to the 70's I promise The 2023 C8 ZO6+ will be Everybody's Dream Car very very soon!!!
I’ll stay with my 2015 PRHT Miata! Vette has no manual tranny, but too many gadgets! The beauty of a Miata is that one can have gobs of fun while staying within the speed limit. FYI, when I was 13, I had the thrill of riding in a white over navy blue split window! I was really impressed by the little sign on the passenger dash: “At speeds over 140 mph keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle.” Really enjoyed your article! You obviously enjoy what you do!
Man, this is great. It looks exactly as I wanted the Stingray to look like :D From the exhaust I miss a little bit of the typical V8 low end, but sounds great anyway. What a car.
The background is absolutely incredible and befitting this whole video. You did it again Joe. Always coming out with the absolute best car review banger’s. Incredible. Bravo.👏🏻👏🏻🏆
Spot on review you are the man for these Cars I appreciate your enthusiasm I truly enjoy you and wife for the time and effort to bring honest reviews 👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾
WOW what car and great video. Watching you in the Z07 puts this car in the McClaran range. It looked like 140mph in 8+ seconds. And the sound is magnificent! Thanks Joe🎉
What a car man! You get excited about some cars but gee wiz you blew a gasket on this Z06. Great Job guys on the presentation as always. I’m jealous of the opportunity you got to go on throttle with this screamer! You earned your twinkies today. Dang.

GM really knocked it out of the park with this one. The fact that you can buy a 100,000 car with this performance and exhaust note is amazing.

Definitely great to see this spec. My order will be the 3LZ Coupe, Silver, Blue Interior with stage 2 carbon fiber interior package. I can’t wait!!
Nicely done!
What up Doe!?
Another great vid RR!
Growing up in Detroit the Corvette was the dream car most of us in the city wanted, going back to the 70's
I promise The 2023 C8 ZO6+ will be Everybody's Dream Car very very soon!!!
If you're ready I'm ready to go Purchase a Z06 with the Z07 package! Great video review! Y'all make watching car reviews feel Awesome! Thanks.
That interior is amazing ! That dark blue to royal blue and silver paint is second to none in my opinion
I’ll stay with my 2015 PRHT Miata! Vette has no manual tranny, but too many gadgets! The beauty of a Miata is that one can have gobs of fun while staying within the speed limit.
FYI, when I was 13, I had the thrill of riding in a white over navy blue split window! I was really impressed by the little sign on the passenger dash: “At speeds over 140 mph keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle.”
Really enjoyed your article! You obviously enjoy what you do!
Miata’s are gayer than Ru Paul, but cool story Charlie
Man, this is great. It looks exactly as I wanted the Stingray to look like :D
From the exhaust I miss a little bit of the typical V8 low end, but sounds great anyway. What a car.
This is my favorite video from Raitis Rides! The Z06 with Z07 looks like such a dream to drive.
The background is absolutely incredible and befitting this whole video. You did it again Joe. Always coming out with the absolute best car review banger’s. Incredible. Bravo.👏🏻👏🏻🏆
The leaf LMAO!!! It’s a convertible too what and the blue accents to this metallic grey finish is just beautiful. This car has it all! ✨🔥🔥
Been here since you had 100k subscribers. So crazy you are coming up on 900k. Very well deserved 👏
Chevy really knocked it out of the ballpark with this one! The only zonk I can think of is its width. It's a big car.
Got goosebumps hearing that v8 fire up… literally f1 noises from a vette I never would’ve expected to see the day but I’m glad I did 😭
Noticed you left the car in Automatic mode and boy does it hold the gears, and the downshifts are to amazing. Great car and video.
I’m going to get it for the carbon fiber ceramic rotors !! I want the carbon fiber key fob as well 😮
Spot on review you are the man for these Cars I appreciate your enthusiasm I truly enjoy you and wife for the time and effort to bring honest reviews 👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾
WOW what car and great video. Watching you in the Z07 puts this car in the McClaran range. It looked like 140mph in 8+ seconds. And the sound is magnificent! Thanks Joe🎉
ABSOLUTELY BADASS!!!!!! 💪💪💪💪
Truly an amazing race car for the streets. What a nice sound on that engine
It is. a beast Frank!
if your new to the channel we see Joe go from king of the car reviews to king of the track. wow that looked fun!
OMG, this guy knows how to get people excited to buy the 2023 Corvette.
As a C5 owner, this C8 is a total dream to have
What a car man! You get excited about some cars but gee wiz you blew a gasket on this Z06. Great Job guys on the presentation as always. I’m jealous of the opportunity you got to go on throttle with this screamer! You earned your twinkies today. Dang.
Thanks for taking the drive with me!
