Still after all these years still a very capable car amongst the top contenders truly a fan....the power to weight ratio and platform is still among the top
It is a real pleasure to watch someone that knows how to drive. Great hand position on the wheel, both hands on wheel, keeping it in the right rpm range. Good work.
Jesus, just riding that wave of torque!!! Those Bimmers and Minis you blew past must’ve thought an F16 flew by them! And this C6 was really buttoned down, nice setup. 👍💪🦅🇺🇸
Best driving I have ever seen here. Muscles remind me of a younger me, and of course the car matches the one sitting in my driveway without any of the mods. There was a ZL1 video put out by Chevy some years ago that was just bone chilling. This reminded me of that one. Totally told all those other drivers to "hold my beer" with one hand while just making that LS7 sing with the other. Thanks.
that car is dialed in.. stable and planted the whole lap. Blowing by all those german and euro cars like they were standing still lol Great job. that LS7 is a beast, sounds soo good.
Passing everything , hawoo!! Excellent driving skills and a great platform to squeeze the rush you get from racing at the near limits. Great video clarity through the audio and video. Thanks for the cruise !
I am not a road course guy, but this Z06 is really impressive, as is the driver. One thing, if I could drive as well and as fast...FAST... as he can, I believe I would want a full cage.
Ta voiture est vraiment top 🙏 une vraie bête de course et le pilote qui va avec. Faut des bras pour tenir une telle machine. Bravo pour la prépa aboutit jusqu'au bout. Continue comme ça et fais nous plaisir avec d'autres futurs vidéos.
This car was build together with the C6.R, the car that literally kick anyone else from the American Le Mans. Beat so hard on the Aston DBR9, Viper, Saleen, etc... that all quit. Literally a race car for the street dressing civilian clothes. Funny thing this car is even fuel efficient 😂
Damn one of the best videos I've seen out there that dude knows how to drive that car and oh my God watching him blow those German cars off the road awesome video kudos to you wish I could do that with mine.
Awesome video buddy and great driving. I'm looking at getting a c6 Z06. I currently have a 2nd gen CTS-V and my wife wants to do some lapping. So I'll let her play with the V while I take on the Z :)
Very nice driving! Did you change the rear axle ratio to a shorter one? Looks more fun to drive than the stock long gears. Regards from yellow C6Z from Munich!
Well done, nice driving skills. Looks almost easy what you are doing, but looking at your steering wheel i can tell its hard work. 👍 American muscle sounds so good. 😊
Very good driving, fast but not being to harsh on the car👍 I love the C6 Z06. What tires is it on? You have some high corneringspeeds bit no tire skid noise
@@Joey856721 Not sure what size wheel Pierre is running. But on my c6 z06 on the factory wheel rims also on nangkang AR1's the tire sizes are 275/35/r18 fronts, 325/30/r19 back. Ran them at phillip island at a track day here in Aus, great track tires for the money.
There was a race with the Porsche for about 60 seconds, and then it was over. and if I’m gonna take a car on that track in those conditions I am figuring out a way to put flashing high beams switch on my steering wheel telling people I’m passing That was obviously the hardest thing to deal with
Great driving!. I also have a modded '06 C6 Z06, 650hp, same Sparkco seats. Handling and power are so easy to drive. Blows off my buddy's Porsche GT3 in the canyons. One of the best sports cars in the world, at the most affordable price. I'm not too disapointed that the new C8 Z06 is too difficult to get right now.
Mods? I see a shifter & wheel…. Don’t think headers but maybe a cat back? No idea about suspension. Thought I heard the squeal of some racing brake pads?
Le shifter doit il être réglé ou pose et direct circuit ? C’est un MGW ? Quelles modifications ont été faites sur le châssis ? (Fiabilisation reprog chez LSX?) Superbe course
Oui c'est un mgw, pas de réglages juste l'installation un peu complexe. En châssis y a principalement des combinés filetés et appui aéro. Toute la partie mécanique faite chez lsx. Ma corvette sera à vendre en avril.

Very nice driving! Did you change the rear axle ratio to a shorter one? Looks more fun to drive than the stock long gears. Regards from yellow C6Z from Munich!
One of the last raw American supercars before all the technology bs took away from the driving experience 💯
Exactly!

And the 05-06 Ford GT. The last of the best! The Vette, Viper, and GT.
@@austint9855 yep, owning just those 3 cars from the Us would make for a beautiful collection.

Stock exhaust with muffler mod and kooks headers.

This was super exciting to watch 👏🏿
Question, was it easy to do the steering wheel and not have the srs light come on?
Thank you!
Steering wheel change is easy but I have just hidden the airbag light.
What’s the setup? Just bought a 2011 z07 carbon pack and thinking what HCI and headers to go with it

classic corvette driver forearms like an 35 years old bodybuilder
I have the same nervous or adrenaline tick when driving on the trick, always moving my fingers and readjusting my grip :)
Glad to know I'm not the only one doing this! 😅

Very cool PoV and sound.
Very strong forearm muscles. Impressive 😅
Neat drivin bro but even more respect for those forearms ! Racing hulk !
🤣🤣thanks!
The double wishbone setup in the c6 but really shine in this bumpy high-speed track.

Exhaust valves hanging on for dear life
Great vid! did you do anything to address the valve drop or oil pressureproblems with sticky tires many people mention?
Thank you!
For the valve drop, heads have been modified and for oil pressure, no problem for me but with 10w60 oil and level always at the max.
Do the Euros think the Ring is a good place for a family drive on a Sunday? It appears so.
Yes and sometimes it's very dangerous because of that. They are slow, they don't look in there mirrors and they have stupid lines...

Why did you skip ten seconds at around 5:45-6:00?

Great car, bro. I was wondering if you would share where you got your door cards. They look like carbon. Is this something you built?
