The 3LZ leather upper dash has a peeling issue. I believe it was 2017 that they finally addressed this. I heard this from another UA-camr and a Vette forum.
Great information. I had a 2008 Z06 The only car I have ever owned I did not become tired of. In my opinion they are the biggest bang for your buck. Almost 60 thought I was getting to old but I have to get another one.
I don't think you're ever too old or too young to enjoy a Corvette. These cars are so fun to drive and just fantastic looking. There's nothing better than going for spin in a Corvette on a nice warm summer day.
Great video man! Looking at getting a Z06 soon and this video was the perfect explanation of the differences in the trim levels. Thanks for uploading this.
Great Vlog Justin! Hey, just a little side note. The microfiber and carbon fiber steering wheel was first introduced on the 2018 Carbon 65s! The ZR1 has the same exact interior as US lol!! General Lee Out!
@@HorsePowerObsessed I've been looking at C7 Z06's for sale on Ebay and Corvette forum and can't find any that have those seats. Seems like a rare option.
Awesome and Exceptional video, breaking down all the trim options. I've been looking into getting a z06 and so this was helpful. 5:00 As far as the advance theft system I remember reading somewhere it detects unauthorized movement such as vertical movement like the car being lifted or moved.
Thanks so much! for all the info, it help me to understand more of those three trim package, I am not into luxary package kind of guy, I just love the IMSA corvette racing heritage, I might even strip down the whole interior, and putting the roll bar and bare aluminum racing seat with pading and four point seat belt and mod the outside when I have more budget to play with. Thanks so much for your detail video!
I recently retired from the military and haven't splurged on a gift for myself. I own a 2002 WS6 with 69K miles in mint condition and a few suspension upgrades. I've been strongly considering giving her up and using her as a trade-in for a C7 Z06; my ultimate dream car. Any recommendations?
Wow..fantastic..is there a better looking car out there?...my favourite colour..red with black accents looks superb. The only thing i'd have is a red interior. My reason is that the top of the dash and doors are black which looks great..but, the bottom part of dash n doors are red. The seats are red and i know some people would think thats too much, i'd get the red and black leather seats which i think look amazing. It will be very sad to see the front engine Corvette go..if indeed they do away with it altogether i'd live GM to produce both front and mud engine cars, i don"t mean just until they faze the C7 out.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Hey thanks for the reply..i'm using my mobile so sorry for any spelling mistakes..big fingers..haa! You have a totally awesome car..my favourite, we here in England don't see many vettes..infact i've only ever seen 3 C7's. Yes i love the pony car shape and the Stingray to me is the pinnacle of that design so it would be sad to see it go. Having said that i'm full of excitement regarding the mid engine C8. I'd like to see something nearer the look of the C8R we've seen on youtube, but i'm sure GM will bring together a fantastic car. Anyway keep enjoying your Stingray you lucky person..haa. regards from England.
At a minimum, have to get the 2LZ. Every time I price it out the way I want, I'm over 60k. When I get tired of my Mustang I will look for a preowned one.
The Z07 package was the only one that came with the carbon ceramics unless you purchase the car after 2017 and then it was an option to add on without the Z07.
HorsePower Obsessed Thank you sir. Your car is really nice. I’m looking to obtain one but it’s so hard to find the right one. They came in many different trims.
They definitely have a lot of options and oddly enough that's exactly why I created this channel! I wanted to help people figure it all out without having to go through the massive amounts of research I did!
Justin, as to the seat option, doesn't the factory describe it as being "heated/ventilated" seats? If so, that begs the questions whether or not they are air conditioned and if they are, why isn't the option referred to "heated/cooled" seats. I've heard a number of owners say they don't feel any cooling in their seats, but do feel some "ventilation." I also wonder if you have the heat on in the car, can you separately "ventilate" the seats. Simply put, to me heating and cooling are separate functions as is "ventilation" that simply re-circulates air.
Thanks Justin. Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm going to "beat" anyway, lol, I still have to wonder why they are not described as "heated & cooled" seats. Lastly, I guess you can run the seats in cool mode simultaneously while running heat in the cabin?
Funny thing is I still think the sound system sucks but I don't care because I don't really listen to music when I drive anyway. I just listen to the Corsa. 😉
The exhaust is the ultimate sound system for sure. I don't have any issues with my sound system though I think it's one of the better sounding stock systems I've heard.
hey HPO do you have napa or Mulan leather? the reason I am asking so I can order that console with the z06 logo on it. I really cant tell from the build sheet, unless I am not looking at it correct...You answered myh question on the leather after I looked at the video more, I do have competition seats and they could be Napa.
I'm reading that the competition seats are nappa leather no matter what trim you get. With that said the GT seats are always Mulan leather regardless of what trim you get as well. this is just the seat though the rest of the car dashboard and door panels will be Mulan leather unless you get the 3lt/3lz/3zr.
shame ON GM 4 NOT MAKKEN MOST OF THIS STANDARD ON A ZO6!!I HAVE A 1LZ...NO HEATED SEATS...NO HEATED OUTSIDE MIRRORS!!HELL MY 2011 F150 HAS HEATED MIRRORS!!LOL
Absolutely just F amazing you can never go wrong with a Vette. Had mine for 3 yrs now 2010 can’t wait to upgrade to a newer.
Totally agree! I love this thing! If you can get a C7 you definitely should!

Thank you! It’s a great spec!

Ah! Good to know! Thanks! 👍
Thanks for showing the differences in the Trim packages. How often do you drive your Z06?
You're quite welcome! I usually get it out 3 or 4 times a week depending on weather. Why do you ask?
Great job Justin! Way to break down the different trim levels. Very informative.
Thanks, D!
Very good video I was gonna get a z06 lz3 package, but now I see I can get the lz2 and still be happy. Thanks
Absolutely! You're quite welcome and thank you for watching!
Those competition seats look sooo good. Much better than the standard ones.
Agreed!
@@HorsePowerObsessed I've been looking at C7 Z06's for sale on Ebay and Corvette forum and can't find any that have those seats. Seems like a rare option.
Great job explaining all this Justin. That was very very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate your support!
@@HorsePowerObsessed I am learning a lot from you. I appreciate the great content.
There are 3 memory seat settings. Press 1 & 2 at the same time to get a third setting.
Good tip! 👍👍
Nice video as always brotha!!! Is there any chance you’ll be making a video on, storing the z06 for the winter since we live in the northeast? Thanks
I sure will be! Unfortunately, I think it will be coming too soon ☹️

Yup. It also detects movement inside the cabin which is amazing!

Those are both very awesome cars. I may be a bit biased, but the C7 Z06 is an amazing car so you really can't go wrong either way.
Man me&wifey really appreciate this video we are so glad that you made this video because we both was confuse at first thanks.
I've heard a lot of confusion out there on these topics! I'm glad I could help!
just bought a 2017 1lz but no logo on armrest or seats no front camra i wich it had those

What are the differences on the convertible
At a minimum, have to get the 2LZ. Every time I price it out the way I want, I'm over 60k. When I get tired of my Mustang I will look for a preowned one.
Agreed the 2lz is the sweet spot.
Wich is the one that has Carbon ceramic breaks? 2LZ and 3LZ or just the 3?
The Z07 package was the only one that came with the carbon ceramics unless you purchase the car after 2017 and then it was an option to add on without the Z07.
@@HorsePowerObsessed thank you for the info sir.
You're quite welcome!
Love your z06. Is your splitter carbon fiber or carbon flash
Thank you! It's carbon flash.
You didn't have problems dropping it on stock bolts and having the z07?
Nope. It dropped about an inch in the front and maybe half an inch in the rear.
Great vid, z06 shopping now!
Thank you! You'll love the car!
Hey Justin. What about your seats?
Are those competition seats come standard?
The competition seats do not come standard unfortunately. They are an upgraded option with a 2,000 dollar price tag.
HorsePower Obsessed Thank you sir.
Your car is really nice.
I’m looking to obtain one but it’s so hard to find the right one. They came in many different trims.
They definitely have a lot of options and oddly enough that's exactly why I created this channel! I wanted to help people figure it all out without having to go through the massive amounts of research I did!
Are there any years of the c7 zo6 that are better than others or years to avoid for any reason or issue?
2017 and up were the best for cooling. 2019's had the strongest rear differentials.

If so, that begs the questions whether or not they are air conditioned and if they are, why isn't the option referred to "heated/cooled" seats.

Simply put, to me heating and cooling are separate functions as is "ventilation" that simply re-circulates air.
It's called ventilated, yes, but when you turn them on you can hear the AC compressor come on so they are definitely cooled seats.
Thanks Justin. Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm going to "beat" anyway, lol, I still have to wonder why they are not described as "heated & cooled" seats. Lastly, I guess you can run the seats in cool mode simultaneously while running heat in the cabin?
Yes you can. I only know this because my wife consistently does it lol.
Ha, ha. Leave it to our wives to push all our buttons. LOL
Oh isn't that the truth!

3LZ is the only way you get napa leather. If you have a 1lz or a 2lz it's Mulan.
@@HorsePowerObsessed so even with comp seats? thanks for the info

You're welcome!
Good vlog, I enjoyed it.Thanks for the info!
You're quite welcome. Thank you!
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you!
really you don’t even need the nav because, these cars are equipped with apple car play. at least the 16’s are. that’s what year i have.
The 2015 I had in this video did not have that.
shame ON GM 4 NOT MAKKEN MOST OF THIS STANDARD ON A ZO6!!I HAVE A 1LZ...NO HEATED SEATS...NO HEATED OUTSIDE MIRRORS!!HELL MY 2011 F150 HAS HEATED MIRRORS!!LOL
So the 3lz is just basically some leather seats
Should i get 3lt or 3lz?
3LT is the highest trim for a C7 Stingray, 3LZ is the highest trim for a C7 Z06, and 3ZR is the highest trim for a C7 ZR1.
HorsePower Obsessed thank you very much . Great info !!
You're quite welcome. Thank you!
Copart is bad in naming a corvette zo6 they just advertise one wrong they just call a zo6 a stingray you should look at their website
I've seen a lot of dealerships do stuff like that. It''s definitely not good to see, it tells me that they know nothing about these cars.
Horsepower obsessed you should look at copart they have two advertise wrong they are both zo6 and call them stingray
No apple car play??
Not in the 2015. That started in 2016.
Great video. Are you ok for a quick chat. V.R
Absolutely! Always look forward to hearing from the community!
HorsePower Obsessed I need help trying to purchase a Z06 looks like no car out there have the options I want.
Pretty much my dream car have all the options yours have plus Swede stearing and shifter and I like to have a 2017 up.
Send me a message on Instagram. I'll help you out.
nice car bur alcantara is horrd
I'm not a huge fan of alcantara myself. As long as it is on stuff I don't ever touch it's ok, but on the wheel, seats, etc. I hate it.
