Subscribed when you said "Every 40 year old needs some type of car. We need a car when we turn 40, ladies." I've watched your videos before and liked the content. We even had a back and forth about a month ago or so. I truly agree. Us men need a "CAR/TOY" when we hit 40. I'm 36 and want a C7 Corvette so bad. I've wanted one since I was 8. I mentioned a couple months ago that I kind of got the "VIPER" interest but came back to me being 8 years old and how bad that 8 year old wanted a Corvette. I've come back to the Corvette even more now because I see my son, who is 6 1/2 saying "Daddies favorite car is a Corvette ZO6." My soon to be 5 year old daughter says the same thing...LOL. You actually seem like a nice person. If I had a Corvette I would invite you to Michigan to experience the Woodward Dream Cruise. For a car guy it should be a bucket list thing, to say the least. Keep up the great content. As for "March Madness" from your most recent video, my MICHIGAN WOLVERINES are still in the running. We need to get passed Oregon this Thursday night though. They're a great team. I'm married to my best friend w/3 beautiful children but my dream is still to own a C7. They are my 1st priority in life but man, that Corvette in the garage would be icing on the cake. Back when I was 21 I had a 2000 WS6 TA w/T-Tops in a manual. I absolutely loved that car, but it wasn't a Corvette. Hey maybe 1 day you'll subscribe to my Corvette channel. Have a great day.
Hanson Fam I remember that conversation we had. GM hit a homer in when they came out with the C7. It took the corvette to a whole new level and experience for the driver. This weekend My wife and I had it out with the top off and there is nothing like it. She doesn't like to go fast so I just cruise when she is with me. A guy pulled up next to me in a dodge Hellcat and was revving his engine and he said you want to go. I said sorry my wife's with me she then said is that a fast car and I said yes, she said then show me what this car can do. From a 40 mph roll we counted to 3 and honked and we were off. It wasn't even close. The Z06 took off like it was shot from a cannon. After hitting a speed I won't mention here I slowed down. The hell cat caught up and the driver said wow, I had no clue the Z06 had that kind of get up and go. It is a car that demands all of your respect because of its ability but it is so well built and its technology you never feel out of control even bat high speeds. Let me know when you get yours because it will happen. Have a Blessed week.
I remember when I was in my later 30's I got my First Corvette a 2006 C6 Convertible with 2k miles on it. This was in 2007 and I had ALWAYS wanted a Corvette!
You can definitely put me in the category of "middle aged guy buying a sports car". Haha. My stepdad had a white 1975 Stingray & I swore that i would own one someday cuz they're just so damn cool. So I finally bought my first used Corvette when I turned 40 (6 yrs ago) & despite having to fix several mechanical problems over the yrs (It's a 1998 C5 with 100,000 miles on it after all), i'm still really glad that I bought it. It's plenty fast enuff to satisfy my needs, handles well, is a beautiful light blue color & as any Vette owner knows... it turns heads where ever I go. I kinda know how a movie star or a beautiful woman feels now. Haha. Ppl also can't believe me when I tell them that it's 19 yrs old cuz it looks almost new. But I baby it as if my life depended on it so i guess that makes sense. Anyway, i'd luv to buy one of these C7's someday cuz there so frickin' awesome but it's gonna be really hard to let go of my baby. So maybe i'll just have 2 corvettes someday. ;-)
Hanson Fam awesome story, thanks for sharing. I would have to have two because I don't think I could get rid of that C5. Thanks for watching have a Blessed day.
Corvettes 918 hopefully by the end of this year i will be fortunate enough or maybe sooner i can get a grand sport a Chevy Exorcist and a 3500 chevy dually at the same time your videos Aspire me to purchase them
I was convinced I wanted the Grand Sport because I determined that 650hp was too much for RWD; without even driving one.. I found a nice 2017 Grand Sport, put together a deal on it but noticed a leftover 2016 Z06 going for a great deal. I drove it and I loved the Supercharger and the extra power! I liked it so much I purchased a decked out 2017 Z06. I don't think the Z06 is any more squirrelly than the Grand Sport, you just need to be judicious with the accelerator in turns and straighten it up and give it the hammer (I do). If you have the money get the Z06!
Great comment Sir, I agree with all of that. The GS has its market for those who just feel uneasy with sitting in a car that has 650hp. Like you said the car is designed to control the power with this computers etc: but the driver has to learn when they can smash that gas and when they can't. Congratulations on the new Z06 and welcome to the family. Have a blessed weekend.
As a guy who tracks his Grand Sport I can tell you unless you have very deep pockets you can keep those carbon brakes. Technology has caught up and a good set of pads and the stock Brembo set up is excellent. Carbon wears faster and replacement costs are insane. I have a friend with a Z28 who dumped his carbon for a good iron setup.
My golfing buddy has a new 2017 SS great looking cars. He got the blue and it looks amazing. Of course I am more bias towards the corvettes but the Chevy has done a great job on the 6th gen camero
I started out with the Camaro 2SS white with black stripes loved it, until I got a 2019 Z06 night and day difference. You will never regret moving up to the Z06
I just purchased a 2017 GS with the Z06 package. I toyed with purchasing a Z06 and then the GS was introduced. I've always wanted a Vette and after several years of research and saving, I pulled the trigger. Like your Z06, my GS is black, however my interior is not red; went with black. I'll email you a picture for posting consideration.
Renaldo Dorsey Congratulations on your new GS, You will greatly enjoy the Carbon ceramic breakers and rotors. I wish GM would do away with the cup 2 tires on the Z07 package because they only last 7-10k miles and are not really tires most people should be driving on as they are simply racing slicks. The super sport tires are a really good tire and they should make those standard unless someone just orders the cup 2's. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy many years of cruising with you new GS. I always tell people it's not just a car it's an experience. Have a Blessed week and I will see you next Saturday.
A properly priced out Grand sport is to close to the Zo6 pricing which makes almost no sense to buy the G.S. unless your buying a base model G.S. but then you might as well buy a stingray. I just priced out 2 Identical cars, Both Convertible, Carbon Brakes, Carbon Ground Effects, Both with Same options, $10K Difference. I can Haggle that $10K easy
I purchased my '16 Z06 right at the end of the year when dealer discounts and rebates were at its peak. My car was stickered at $93k, I got it for $76.1k. '17 GS's were priced higher, limited discounts and no rebates. I saw no reason to pay more money for less car. Just my opinion.
I agree with going for the Z06 if its priced that low. At the end of the year they are trying to push these things out the door and it shows you just how much mark up is in these bad boys.
I already have one vette, but have been arguing another or possibly a Gen 2 CTS-V. I always fall victim to the "for just a little more you can get...."
I am just hopping they don't do the same thing as they did with he ZR1 1LE and make it strictly a race car. Now if the ZR1 comes out with 800hp and it has all the same options as the Z06 in regards to the inside of the car then yes that car will sale but if its bare bones on the inside and more for tracking the car then it will not be a high end production car. It's going to be sick either way but maybe not as appealing to the masses like the Z06. Thanks for the comment.
I would take a C1,2,3,4,5,6,7 low miles or high miles. It doesn't matter the color white,black,pink,yellow,brown. Stingray,zo6,zr1 or grand sport As long as it's a corvette i would take it. Also Chuck your corvette is bad @$$..
Hi, I enjoy your channel. I will be sending a picture of my new 2018 ZO6. I enjoy driving a car with raw power and that is why I chose the ZO6 over the Grand Sport. My first corvette was a 1964 Black fuel injected Stingray convertible. I should have never sold it! In a previous video you said that a radar detector was one of your musts. I noticed in this video, when you showed the interior of your ZO6, that you still have a Max360. What do you think of the new Max360c? Or is the 360 still your choice? Also, men need their cars at any age.......LOL....
Trying to decide if I should buy a Corvette. Trying to decide what trim, so watching these videos is really helping me decide and educate myself as to which Corvette would be best
Hey Chuck, first off you need to get growing that goat tee back, maybe some miracle grow, lol! On another note I would have to have the z06 just to have the baddest option, to know that know one with out serious mods can touch it! Worth every penny! Also got my z06 floor mats today! Thanks for the idea! They are a big impoverishment!
Jimmy Johnson 😂😂 Yea, lost a friendly wager and had to shave it off. It's already growing back. Lol. The floor mats are a nice touch. Thanks jimmy, see you next week.
HELLO MY NAME IS TERRY NELSON IVE ALAWYS LIKED THE CORVETTE EVEN THOE THE EARLY 79 78 CORVETTES WERE A LITTLE SKARY AT THE WIND DIMENSION OF SPEED EVER SCENES THE THE 2015 KAME OUT IT BEKAME MY DREAM KAR WHITE ESPECIALLY THAT WOULD B THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL AND WHITE BREAK SHOES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am also waiting to see what the ZR1 is all about before I order my next vette. The Z06 is allot of fun to drive and if GM over reaches on the pricing of the ZR1 I won't think twice about staying with a Z06. Have blessed week and thanks for stopping by the channel.
ktdaddy32 welcome to the channel. I appreciate the sub and yes the GS is an amazing car for sure. Have a great weekend. New Video tomorrow at 9:00 am. 👍🏻
Anthony Thorpe welcome to the channel. They are amazing cars and if you ever get the chance take advantage of it. It's not just a car but an experience. Have a Blessed week.
Kevin C They need to allow people to just choose ceramic brakes and rotors as a package by itself but they force you to do the Z07 package that forces you to buy Cup 2 tires at 2,800 a full phase III arrow package at 3,500 as well. Cup 2 tires are useless unless your going to track the car because those are not tires you want to get caught in the rain with. So plan on buying 2,000 worth of supper Sport tires as well. Just my opinion on the subject. Thanks for your feedback.
007mrmrbig my Z06 gets 26-28 HWY and 18 in town. Pretty good gas mileage for a racing car of that caliber. I would t go with GS because you think it has better gas mileage. Yet again when you are buying a $70K or more car your not really worried about gas 😂😂
Corvettes 918 I'm not worried about the money, I just don't want to stop to fill up every 3rd day....... With normal driving, Do you think it would last 5-6 days w.o filling up?
007mrmrbig depending on how many miles your driving per day. If it's mainly HWY then for sure if your doing 30-40 miles a day. That means no racing anyone 😂
I would definitely buy a ZO6 over the Grand Sport. Of course they are more money but i dont think you can beat the price for a comparable car. We had a 2016 ZO6 come in to our dealership for consignment and i got lucky enough to drive it and i was blown away by the car not to mention that is my all time dream car. i always have loved Corvettes since a little boy and someday hope to own one, that being a Blue ZO6 with black rims and definitely gotta have the upgraded exhaust! i think that is all i would really want to do to it, Anyway thanks for sharing your beautiful ZO6 with the world and thanks for the uplifting channel, As always drive safe out there !!!!
The Z06 is defiantly a well built Corvette and something that every vette lover would love to have at some point in their life. Every time I drive it I am in awe of its power and its drive ability. The magnetic ride in a car like this makes the ride so smooth. Thank you for your feed back and comments.
I just attended the Corvette Owners School at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park near Las Vegas. One of the students had just bought a new GS and hence was using a GS at the school. After the first day I asked him what he thought of his car. After spending the day on the track with other GSs, Z51s and Z06s, his answer was, "I should have bought a Z06."
pkincy Thanks for the comment. If you buy a GS or Z51 you will think you have an amazing Vette but I always tell people don't test drive the Z06. It's power you normally never use but after driving a Z06 if you drive a GS or z51 you will think there is something wrong with it 😂😂. In 2016 and 2017 GM sold twice as many Z06's than they had planned on. Another huge reason why they're expanding the plant in Bowling Green. They sold 6,413 of them which made up 22% of sales that up by 10% vs 2015. The C7 has been a huge hit for GM.
PR KING have had several cars with manual but went with the A8 because they shift much faster than I could making the car even faster. Over 80% of Corvettes made are A8 now days.
I do love my Grand sport! The Z06 of course is another dream car! *I am only commenting to reply to your video since I already won a gift card, if my name pops up please pay it forward! ***THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
I love your GS 😁 It will defiantly pay it forward and then after a year if it pops up again then you are the winner. Deal? Have a great weekend Brad and always appreciate your comments.
My goodness, that light blue grandsport you showed, how do you get one like that with the light blue interior too????!!!! That's so beautiful someone please tell me
my original plan was to save 10k to buy a c5 even though id much rather have a c7 z06 but then i decided that id rather spend that 10k to buy an apartment building and start that business so in the next year or two ill have enough money to buy the newest z06 corvette
btw i subscribed... i like that you're actually part of the community that you are building with this channel... its much appreciated... and i plan to be part of it and meet you on one of your cruises one day when i have my z06
If the Z06 has the Z07 package with the cup two tires and they are warm it will be hard to beat it on a track by any car. The Z06 with the supper sport tires is one fast car but until the tires get warm its hard to keep it from fish telling when getting on it. The GS with the 465 HP you can get on it and its not enough to get you sideways like the 650 in the Z06 will. Now once the tires on the Z06 are warm the GS of course has no chance. 😂😂
Handling is slightly better in the GS because it's lighter. It's basically the same car, but lighter and therefore can generate more g's. Probably negligible to most people.
Charles Williams The Z06 is cool to have when a GT500 or Hellcat put up next to you and want to give it a go. Most of them chase to catch you and then once they see the Z06 badging that just give you a thumbs up and fall back. 😀👍🏻
The only issue with that thought process is that you kill the factory warranty. GM is so picky about the mods you can do before you say bye bye to the warranty.
pdiddy97 Thank you, Appreciate you stopping by the channel. See at the next video, plus I will be doing a live stream this Tuesday at 6:00 pm so hopefully I will see you then. Have a Blessed weekend.
What I don’t like about the corvette is the economy mode switching back and forth between 4 cylinder and eight cylinder is for the birds so I think I will just buy a Dodge Challenger with the 6.2 v8
I know what he's talking about. I bought a brand new 2014 Mustang GT, 6 speed. I did not love that car. I sold it to pay down student loans. I test drove a 2018 Corvette Z06 and within minutes.......no seconds. I loved that car. I will buy that car soon. That car was made for me. The Mustang was a huge disappointment. Chevy makes a better fun driving car and Ford period.
oklahoma in the house, I own a c6 and brought a 2019 GS about 2 weeks ago love it and that zo6 you have bad a__ I NEVER SUBSCRIBE OR LIKE until now, good video maybe i'll see you around
Lucky guy! Beautiful Vette bro!!! I like what you said about having the mustang gt for 45 days & then test drove the vette!!! I wonder how much $ u might of lost on the stang??? I bought a focus just to have a car, I really dislike it!!! There are many things I dislike about my money pit car! Don't get me wrong, I have upgraded every imaginable part (did all the work myself!!!) I upgraded it for reliability & better performance (as if it has any) it is slow!!! WISH I COULD AFFORD A CHEVROLET S.S. & A CORVETTE!!!=DREAM CARS!!!
Hello, good video. Im a "young" 53 haha, Im wanting my first corvette GS, yet I made a mistake n bought a 2015 Harley softtail Breakout. Beautiful bike, rides like a pillow. 3 days after I bought the bike, I went to bike week in N.H. I went to the corvette dealer in Nashua. My jaw dropped with buyers remorse. Wished I bought the car , not the bike. (have to finance, and cant have both) 2019 GS Watkins Glen Gray, 2LT, Chrome wheels. I am "dying" to have this car!
Like the videos Chuck. Good information. I bought my first Corvette in 1987. Had one ever since. Love the looks of the Z06 just not the price. I love my Esclade better. Keep your starbucks card I can't take my Gun in there.
Can''t I just win a Vette? That would be cool too! Can't afford one yet. But when I do, it'll be two! A Grand Sport and a Hennessey HPE 1000. But yes, a gift card would be awesome, just like your videos!
Everything should be ceramic?! Dude, it's a corvette(and a Z06 at that). It's made to be driven, fast and hard, not be a garage queen showpiece. Anyone ever asks me why I think the world is unfair, I tell them it's because cars like these are bought, owned, and then only sometimes driven(and never DRIVEN) be people like this. I do agree that the Grand Sport is the one to get, but only so you can drive it harder than the higher trims.
Do you know if the 2017 Vettes or 2018 will have an upgrade on gauges. Whatever happened to the days American cars had 8 or 9 gauges... When, or if your transmission light or engine light comes on, its too late ...idiot lights and bar graphs is a recipe for costly repairs.
I know a lot of guys are gonna think I'm nuts but thats alright. This is strictly my opinion, I hate those black wheels. I think they look cheap. I'm an old old school chrome guy. I'm 69 years old now and I do love Corvettes, I just can't stand those black wheels. Gimme chrome wheels anyday.
If you go to the track, and assuming the Chevy has fixed the over heating issues - get the Zo6. For just driving through the city, the GS. You didn't mention anything about the over heating issues.
I mean I like your car is beautiful and really looking good I don’t have a grants for 2019 three LT lower it I love this guy I’m just tired customer little bit to make a nice and beautiful so anyway I watch your videos and really good though take care man thank you
One thing that I’m finding is that there are many much more options that people get on the Z06 : including seats - and exterior then on the GS so if you’re buying used you’re better off to get Z06
Great Video Chuck I have a Charger SRT8 that I will be selling soon and getting into a new car ;) GS vs Z06 it all comes down to what you are looking for out of the Corvette, with roughly a $15K difference in the base models Supercharged LT4 warranty would have me SOLD haha but I could totally see the reasoning for getting a GS over a Z06. You could totally get a GS, ProCharge it and build it up really nice as well, but if you're looking for more performance and a super fast car, my opinion would be to go with the Z06, with a warranty supercharger :D Keep up the great Work
Thank you sir for your feed back. Out of the Dodges I definitely love the charger the most. In the Hellcat option 707 with four doors thats just crazy. The warranty is a huge thing with the Z06. If you modify the GS with a pro charger there goes that warranty and the Z06 gives you 60,000 or 5 years with all that power. Again, appreciate the feed back.
The point of having the metal brakes is the stopping power vs cost model. If the user tracks his car regularly, you'll change out both versions fairly often and still have roughly the same stopping power. However, you can save a ton of money by having the metal versions. He is right about the brake dust though.
have you ever thought about investing in a detailing product? I'm really thinking about it, could be something really cool specially for people like us who really like our cars super clean
LOL modifications . too funny. my 03 Silverado is so rusty up here in NY modifications are the last thing I can do to the poor thing. LOL . Im living my dreams though all the youtube channels that can afford these awesome cars .. keep up the kool vids
I knew itd was an X-Pipe but then you had to do it again. My cousin has a C7 Stingray that he's gotten up to around 550HP (headers, exhaust and cams). My cousin had me stand behind his while under a parking garage in OC MD, and with that X-Pipe plus Corsa ridiculous, yours sounds tamed on video (in person I'm sure a different story) but crazy. Job well done sir.
Chuck I love your video Boss I used to have a 2010 grandsport had our first son and had to trade the baby in to have a baby were very blessed now with 2 boys our son is now 4 and we're thinking about getting the 2017 collectors edition and you just made me determined to buy it appreciate your honesty in your vids 👍🏼keep um comin hello from Amarillo Tx
I understand those priorities comes first. You can get some great deals on used Corvettes and save thousands and they are like new. I am from Sherman Tx been to Amarillo several times. Stay safe.
hate to say it bro but this video was a total miss,,, it was all over the place ? not usually the case your usually right on,,,just sayin,,,keep up the good work though bro ill keep watchin as long as your putting them out,,,cars lookin great by the way !
I owned the 2014 Stingray Z51 3LT and traded it for the 2016 Z06 Mother's Day of last year. I went from a fully loaded Z51 to the 1LZ Z06. There is absolutely no comparison between the power of the two. And I don't miss for one second the carbon fiber interior or heated seats or all of the upgrades that pushed the price of the Z51 right into the general area of base Z06. I also don't care about the additional splitter or side rails and I would imagine they do zero to the feel of the car at speed. I upgraded, for $150.00 from eBay, to the stage two rear splitter. The Grand Sport's price is way too close to a base Z06 for it to be a sensible option. Spend a little more for the Z06 and forget the $20,000.00 in upgrades to the 3LZ that will do zero to the dynamics of the car. Buying a loaded or 2LT GS instead of a base Z06 makes zero sense whatsoever.
The 3LZ package is for those guys who want more than just the performance. You right a 1LZ Base Z06 can do everything the 3LZ with the Z07 package can do except for when it on a track. The Z07 package makes that car glued to the track. I just came from the track today and to watch a Z06 with out the splitter, phase 3 wicker bill and phase 3 splitter and cup 2 tires was eye opening. Now if your just going to be out on the road and go fast in a straight line the 1LZ Z06 will all you need for sure. Thanks for watching have a blessed weekend.
Corvettes 918 I got the 2017 Grand Sport and it's fun. I am thinking about putting a pro/supercharger on it for it to be on par with a Z06. Gonna modify it more after that too! My goal is to get it to 740 hp. What do you think? It will be fun to race stock Z06's on the highway and embarrass them😂. Gonna take it in this summer and change the interior a lot too. I picked the wrong color interior(gonna change it to yellow or blue) and forgot to add carbon fiber😂
Budder Lover3388 If you think it's going to be a car your going to keep for a long time I say mod that baby out. Mods are just money you never get back. They are making so many GS and Z06's that it's hurting their future values. I haven't done any major mods because I want to see that ZR1 first. The GS in the heritage package looks amazing for sure.
Corvettes 918 Yeah I'm thinking about keeping it for a while I want to have fun with it while the hp is relevant then when a stock corvette comes with 1k hp in 10 years then I will upgrade😂😂😂
I saw a zo6 on the hwy going very slow. I guess when you have that many horses there is nothing to prove...
Loving your ZO6, I've always been a Chevy Camaro fan but the C7 have me on a whole different level I think it's my next car.
GM definitely hit a home run with the C7 for sure. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
Subscribed when you said "Every 40 year old needs some type of car. We need a car when we turn 40, ladies."
I've watched your videos before and liked the content. We even had a back and forth about a month ago or so. I truly agree. Us men need a "CAR/TOY" when we hit 40. I'm 36 and want a C7 Corvette so bad. I've wanted one since I was 8. I mentioned a couple months ago that I kind of got the "VIPER" interest but came back to me being 8 years old and how bad that 8 year old wanted a Corvette. I've come back to the Corvette even more now because I see my son, who is 6 1/2 saying "Daddies favorite car is a Corvette ZO6." My soon to be 5 year old daughter says the same thing...LOL.
You actually seem like a nice person. If I had a Corvette I would invite you to Michigan to experience the Woodward Dream Cruise. For a car guy it should be a bucket list thing, to say the least.
Keep up the great content. As for "March Madness" from your most recent video, my MICHIGAN WOLVERINES are still in the running. We need to get passed Oregon this Thursday night though. They're a great team.
I'm married to my best friend w/3 beautiful children but my dream is still to own a C7. They are my 1st priority in life but man, that Corvette in the garage would be icing on the cake.
Back when I was 21 I had a 2000 WS6 TA w/T-Tops in a manual. I absolutely loved that car, but it wasn't a Corvette. Hey maybe 1 day you'll subscribe to my Corvette channel.
Have a great day.
Hanson Fam I remember that conversation we had. GM hit a homer in when they came out with the C7. It took the corvette to a whole new level and experience for the driver. This weekend My wife and I had it out with the top off and there is nothing like it. She doesn't like to go fast so I just cruise when she is with me. A guy pulled up next to me in a dodge Hellcat and was revving his engine and he said you want to go. I said sorry my wife's with me she then said is that a fast car and I said yes, she said then show me what this car can do. From a 40 mph roll we counted to 3 and honked and we were off. It wasn't even close. The Z06 took off like it was shot from a cannon. After hitting a speed I won't mention here I slowed down. The hell cat caught up and the driver said wow, I had no clue the Z06 had that kind of get up and go. It is a car that demands all of your respect because of its ability but it is so well built and its technology you never feel out of control even bat high speeds. Let me know when you get yours because it will happen. Have a Blessed week.
I remember when I was in my later 30's I got my First Corvette a 2006 C6 Convertible with 2k miles on it. This was in 2007 and I had ALWAYS wanted a Corvette!
You can definitely put me in the category of "middle aged guy buying a sports car". Haha. My stepdad had a white 1975 Stingray & I swore that i would own one someday cuz they're just so damn cool. So I finally bought my first used Corvette when I turned 40 (6 yrs ago) & despite having to fix several mechanical problems over the yrs (It's a 1998 C5 with 100,000 miles on it after all), i'm still really glad that I bought it. It's plenty fast enuff to satisfy my needs, handles well, is a beautiful light blue color & as any Vette owner knows... it turns heads where ever I go. I kinda know how a movie star or a beautiful woman feels now. Haha. Ppl also can't believe me when I tell them that it's 19 yrs old cuz it looks almost new. But I baby it as if my life depended on it so i guess that makes sense.
Anyway, i'd luv to buy one of these C7's someday cuz there so frickin' awesome but it's gonna be really hard to let go of my baby. So maybe i'll just have 2 corvettes someday. ;-)
Hanson Fam awesome story, thanks for sharing. I would have to have two because I don't think I could get rid of that C5. Thanks for watching have a Blessed day.
Corvettes 918 hopefully by the end of this year i will be fortunate enough or maybe sooner i can get a grand sport a Chevy Exorcist and a 3500 chevy dually at the same time your videos Aspire me to purchase them
I was convinced I wanted the Grand Sport because I determined that 650hp was too much for RWD; without even driving one..
I found a nice 2017 Grand Sport, put together a deal on it but noticed a leftover 2016 Z06 going for a great deal. I drove it and I loved the Supercharger and the extra power! I liked it so much I purchased a decked out 2017 Z06.
I don't think the Z06 is any more squirrelly than the Grand Sport, you just need to be judicious with the accelerator in turns and straighten it up and give it the hammer (I do).
If you have the money get the Z06!
Great comment Sir, I agree with all of that. The GS has its market for those who just feel uneasy with sitting in a car that has 650hp. Like you said the car is designed to control the power with this computers etc: but the driver has to learn when they can smash that gas and when they can't. Congratulations on the new Z06 and welcome to the family. Have a blessed weekend.
If it wasn't for outrageous cost of child support.... I would have this fucking car ughhhhhh
As a guy who tracks his Grand Sport I can tell you unless you have very deep pockets you can keep those carbon brakes. Technology has caught up and a good set of pads and the stock Brembo set up is excellent. Carbon wears faster and replacement costs are insane. I have a friend with a Z28 who dumped his carbon for a good iron setup.
I went with the 2017 camaro ss over the corvette it has the same engine lt1. Would get a corvette down the road for sure they don't disappoint
My golfing buddy has a new 2017 SS great looking cars. He got the blue and it looks amazing. Of course I am more bias towards the corvettes but the Chevy has done a great job on the 6th gen camero
I started out with the Camaro 2SS white with black stripes loved it, until I got a 2019 Z06 night and day difference.
You will never regret moving up to the Z06
I just purchased a 2017 GS with the Z06 package. I toyed with purchasing a Z06 and then the GS was introduced. I've always wanted a Vette and after several years of research and saving, I pulled the trigger. Like your Z06, my GS is black, however my interior is not red; went with black. I'll email you a picture for posting consideration.
Renaldo Dorsey Congratulations on your new GS, You will greatly enjoy the Carbon ceramic breakers and rotors. I wish GM would do away with the cup 2 tires on the Z07 package because they only last 7-10k miles and are not really tires most people should be driving on as they are simply racing slicks. The super sport tires are a really good tire and they should make those standard unless someone just orders the cup 2's. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy many years of cruising with you new GS. I always tell people it's not just a car it's an experience. Have a Blessed week and I will see you next Saturday.
A properly priced out Grand sport is to close to the Zo6 pricing which makes almost no sense to buy the G.S. unless your buying a base model G.S. but then you might as well buy a stingray. I just priced out 2 Identical cars, Both Convertible, Carbon Brakes, Carbon Ground Effects, Both with Same options, $10K Difference. I can Haggle that $10K easy
👊👍😎
I purchased my '16 Z06 right at the end of the year when dealer discounts and rebates were at its peak. My car was stickered at $93k, I got it for $76.1k. '17 GS's were priced higher, limited discounts and no rebates. I saw no reason to pay more money for less car. Just my opinion.
I agree with going for the Z06 if its priced that low. At the end of the year they are trying to push these things out the door and it shows you just how much mark up is in these bad boys.
I already have one vette, but have been arguing another or possibly a Gen 2 CTS-V. I always fall victim to the "for just a little more you can get...."
Mike, I am with you. The system is set up for guys like us. If I just spend a little more I can get more. 😂
I'm waiting on the ZR1 I think that would be a crazy fast car. And look super good
I am just hopping they don't do the same thing as they did with he ZR1 1LE and make it strictly a race car. Now if the ZR1 comes out with 800hp and it has all the same options as the Z06 in regards to the inside of the car then yes that car will sale but if its bare bones on the inside and more for tracking the car then it will not be a high end production car. It's going to be sick either way but maybe not as appealing to the masses like the Z06. Thanks for the comment.
I would take a C1,2,3,4,5,6,7 low miles or high miles. It doesn't matter the color white,black,pink,yellow,brown. Stingray,zo6,zr1 or grand sport As long as it's a corvette i would take it. Also Chuck your corvette is bad @$$..
I totally agree 👍🏻😎 and Thanks you!!
Hi, I enjoy your channel. I will be sending a picture of my new 2018 ZO6. I enjoy driving a car with raw power and that is why I chose the ZO6 over the Grand Sport. My first corvette was a 1964 Black fuel injected Stingray convertible. I should have never sold it! In a previous video you said that a radar detector was one of your musts. I noticed in this video, when you showed the interior of your ZO6, that you still have a Max360. What do you think of the new Max360c? Or is the 360 still your choice? Also, men need their cars at any age.......LOL....
Thanks for stopping by the community. Look forward to seeing the Z. Yes, the max 360 keeps me from going to jail. 👍🏻😂😂 best money I have ever spent.
Trying to decide if I should buy a Corvette. Trying to decide what trim, so watching these videos is really helping me decide and educate myself as to which Corvette would be best
Hey Chuck, first off you need to get growing that goat tee back, maybe some miracle grow, lol! On another note I would have to have the z06 just to have the baddest option, to know that know one with out serious mods can touch it! Worth every penny! Also got my z06 floor mats today! Thanks for the idea! They are a big impoverishment!
Jimmy Johnson 😂😂 Yea, lost a friendly wager and had to shave it off. It's already growing back. Lol. The floor mats are a nice touch. Thanks jimmy, see you next week.
HELLO MY NAME IS TERRY NELSON IVE ALAWYS LIKED THE CORVETTE EVEN THOE THE EARLY 79 78 CORVETTES WERE A LITTLE SKARY AT THE WIND DIMENSION OF SPEED EVER SCENES THE THE 2015 KAME OUT IT BEKAME MY DREAM KAR WHITE ESPECIALLY THAT WOULD B THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL AND WHITE BREAK SHOES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
These cars are amazing and a dream to own. I hope you get the one you want one day. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
hi my name is Daniel I'm just got a 2016 corvette stingray I like ur videos I'm gonna send u some pics when I'm got it this Friday
Congratulations Daniel on the new Stingray can't wait to see the pictures.
I'm 40 and waiting for the ZR1. I need that in my life. And I love the black with red interior.
I am also waiting to see what the ZR1 is all about before I order my next vette. The Z06 is allot of fun to drive and if GM over reaches on the pricing of the ZR1 I won't think twice about staying with a Z06. Have blessed week and thanks for stopping by the channel.
Hey I just subscribed , I'm 16 and I own a corvette , and plan buying a c7 z06 very soon with my own money . By the way very nice car I love it!
Welcome Jordan, I am glad to see at a young age you are enjoying a corvette that is very rare. Enjoy the cars and safe travels.
Subscribed today. I would go with a Grand Sport if I was in the market for a new Vette.
ktdaddy32 welcome to the channel. I appreciate the sub and yes the GS is an amazing car for sure. Have a great weekend. New Video tomorrow at 9:00 am. 👍🏻
Whats the name of the song/instrumental that played when you showed the car off in the parking lot
Wake up, The House is underwater by Stephen Walking (Mostercat)
first time on here just got a promotion thinking about buying one to celebrate! don't want the payment but you only live once
Anthony Thorpe welcome to the channel. They are amazing cars and if you ever get the chance take advantage of it. It's not just a car but an experience. Have a Blessed week.
That's why they give you an option to have ceramic brakes or not to keep the cost down
Kevin C They need to allow people to just choose ceramic brakes and rotors as a package by itself but they force you to do the Z07 package that forces you to buy Cup 2 tires at 2,800 a full phase III arrow package at 3,500 as well. Cup 2 tires are useless unless your going to track the car because those are not tires you want to get caught in the rain with. So plan on buying 2,000 worth of supper Sport tires as well. Just my opinion on the subject. Thanks for your feedback.
I picked up my Grand Sport three weeks ago and love it! Thanks for the great videos.
Congratulations on the new GS. If you haven't send in a pic for a upcoming video. Have a great week.
Nomore76 I'd rather enjoy the car with a GS than go to gas station every few days....GS is the one
007mrmrbig my Z06 gets 26-28 HWY and 18 in town. Pretty good gas mileage for a racing car of that caliber. I would t go with GS because you think it has better gas mileage. Yet again when you are buying a $70K or more car your not really worried about gas 😂😂
Corvettes 918 I'm not worried about the money, I just don't want to stop to fill up every 3rd day....... With normal driving, Do you think it would last 5-6 days w.o filling up?
007mrmrbig depending on how many miles your driving per day. If it's mainly HWY then for sure if your doing 30-40 miles a day. That means no racing anyone 😂
fucking love vettes best ever car
I would definitely buy a ZO6 over the Grand Sport. Of course they are more money but i dont think you can beat the price for a comparable car. We had a 2016 ZO6 come in to our dealership for consignment and i got lucky enough to drive it and i was blown away by the car not to mention that is my all time dream car. i always have loved Corvettes since a little boy and someday hope to own one, that being a Blue ZO6 with black rims and definitely gotta have the upgraded exhaust! i think that is all i would really want to do to it, Anyway thanks for sharing your beautiful ZO6 with the world and thanks for the uplifting channel, As always drive safe out there !!!!
The Z06 is defiantly a well built Corvette and something that every vette lover would love to have at some point in their life. Every time I drive it I am in awe of its power and its drive ability. The magnetic ride in a car like this makes the ride so smooth. Thank you for your feed back and comments.
Chuck, liked your video. like your Oklahoma sincerity.
Thanks Mr.Allen for stopping by the channel. I appreciate the feed back and hope to see you on future videos. Have a blessed week.
I just attended the Corvette Owners School at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park near Las Vegas. One of the students had just bought a new GS and hence was using a GS at the school. After the first day I asked him what he thought of his car. After spending the day on the track with other GSs, Z51s and Z06s, his answer was, "I should have bought a Z06."
pkincy Thanks for the comment. If you buy a GS or Z51 you will think you have an amazing Vette but I always tell people don't test drive the Z06. It's power you normally never use but after driving a Z06 if you drive a GS or z51 you will think there is something wrong with it 😂😂. In 2016 and 2017 GM sold twice as many Z06's than they had planned on. Another huge reason why they're expanding the plant in Bowling Green. They sold 6,413 of them which made up 22% of sales that up by 10% vs 2015. The C7 has been a huge hit for GM.
I'm new to your channel. I like the Blackout look of your Vette!
Welcome David, I appreciate you being apart of the channel and I agree with you the Blacked out look is pretty amazing. Have a blessed weekend.
The black on black style is too hot!!!
largec I agree for sure. Can't go wrong with all that black.
You need to call it knight rider!
The car looks amazing in black. Why did you get the auto?
PR KING have had several cars with manual but went with the A8 because they shift much faster than I could making the car even faster. Over 80% of Corvettes made are A8 now days.
I do love my Grand sport! The Z06 of course is another dream car! *I am only commenting to reply to your video since I already won a gift card, if my name pops up please pay it forward! ***THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
I love your GS 😁 It will defiantly pay it forward and then after a year if it pops up again then you are the winner. Deal? Have a great weekend Brad and always appreciate your comments.
Corvettes 918 thanks deal you also have a great weekend!!!
hey Chuck, nice vette.
It's a damn rocket!! You don't have to add anything to the Z
Kyle welsh You are correct on that and you get a Awesome 60,000 mile warranty.
My goodness, that light blue grandsport you showed, how do you get one like that with the light blue interior too????!!!! That's so beautiful someone please tell me
That was a collectors edition GS. They only made like 975 of them for the 2017 year. They will not be making them in the future.
My goodness I want one so bad
how dark did you tint the windows? And 35% on the windshield?
I have 5% on everything but the windshield and there its 35%. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. See you next Saturday.
The grand sport has better paint layouts than the z06
I do agree, but hopefully with the new paint shop GM is brining on line that will change.
my original plan was to save 10k to buy a c5 even though id much rather have a c7 z06 but then i decided that id rather spend that 10k to buy an apartment building and start that business so in the next year or two ill have enough money to buy the newest z06 corvette
Jeremy Conrad smart move. Put in the work and the Z06 will be yours. Thanks for watching. 👊🏻
btw i subscribed... i like that you're actually part of the community that you are building with this channel... its much appreciated... and i plan to be part of it and meet you on one of your cruises one day when i have my z06
does the GS actually handle better than the Z06? I keep hearing how "hooked-up" the GS is, and the Z was not... your thoughts?
If the Z06 has the Z07 package with the cup two tires and they are warm it will be hard to beat it on a track by any car. The Z06 with the supper sport tires is one fast car but until the tires get warm its hard to keep it from fish telling when getting on it. The GS with the 465 HP you can get on it and its not enough to get you sideways like the 650 in the Z06 will. Now once the tires on the Z06 are warm the GS of course has no chance. 😂😂
Handling is slightly better in the GS because it's lighter. It's basically the same car, but lighter and therefore can generate more g's. Probably negligible to most people.
What exhaust do you have? Are you happy with the sound?
Corsa Extreme and Yes, Check out the video on my channel titled Corsa or borla.
like the page and videos buying stringray soon
David Pezel thanks for stopping by the channel. The stingrays are amazing cars. You can't go wrong with any corvette. 👍🏻 Have a blessed week.
Nice ZO6 bro someday am trying to own one.
Eugene Anduze thank you sir, You defiantly will. Put that work in and it will be yours. Have a Blessed weekend.
Trying to decide between getting a Z06 or ZR1
Something tell me the ZR1 is going to be sick but a total track car and may not be the best car for cruising on the open road but we shall see.
I just sent you some pic's of my car i love the channel and i'll take a ZO6 over the grandsport
👍😎
I agree with every thing you said, for me the z06 is a track car, the GS is more of a street & hi- way car, just my 2 cents.
Charles Williams The Z06 is cool to have when a GT500 or Hellcat put up next to you and want to give it a go. Most of them chase to catch you and then once they see the Z06 badging that just give you a thumbs up and fall back. 😀👍🏻
The GS puts up amazing track times. They're both track cars. The Z06 simply hits harder on the straights.
I just purchased my 2nd Corvette. My first one was a 2015 Stingray and 2 weeks ago I purchased a 2018 Grand Sport! I love it!
Or take the $15-20K and add a centri supercharger and pwn Z06's. That's what I did with my C6 GS.
Beautiful car 918.
True true
The only issue with that thought process is that you kill the factory warranty. GM is so picky about the mods you can do before you say bye bye to the warranty.
I really like this channel, very informative love your setup for taking good care of your Corvette. Keep On Keeping On, Chuck!!!
Thank you Randell glad to have you.
Love the blacked out z06!
pdiddy97 Thank you, Appreciate you stopping by the channel. See at the next video, plus I will be doing a live stream this Tuesday at 6:00 pm so hopefully I will see you then. Have a Blessed weekend.
What I don’t like about the corvette is the economy mode switching back and forth between 4 cylinder and eight cylinder is for the birds so I think I will just buy a Dodge Challenger with the 6.2 v8
I know what he's talking about. I bought a brand new 2014 Mustang GT, 6 speed. I did not love that car. I sold it to pay down student loans. I test drove a 2018 Corvette Z06 and within minutes.......no seconds. I loved that car. I will buy that car soon. That car was made for me. The Mustang was a huge disappointment. Chevy makes a better fun driving car and Ford period.
oklahoma in the house, I own a c6 and brought a 2019 GS about 2 weeks ago love it and that zo6 you have bad a__ I NEVER SUBSCRIBE OR LIKE until now, good video maybe i'll see you around
Lucky guy! Beautiful Vette bro!!! I like what you said about having the mustang gt for 45 days & then test drove the vette!!! I wonder how much $ u might of lost on the stang??? I bought a focus just to have a car, I really dislike it!!! There are many things I dislike about my money pit car! Don't get me wrong, I have upgraded every imaginable part (did all the work myself!!!) I upgraded it for reliability & better performance (as if it has any) it is slow!!! WISH I COULD AFFORD A CHEVROLET S.S. & A CORVETTE!!!=DREAM CARS!!!
Hello, good video. Im a "young" 53 haha, Im wanting my first corvette GS, yet I made a mistake n bought a 2015 Harley softtail Breakout. Beautiful bike, rides like a pillow. 3 days after I bought the bike, I went to bike week in N.H. I went to the corvette dealer in Nashua. My jaw dropped with buyers remorse. Wished I bought the car , not the bike. (have to finance, and cant have both) 2019 GS Watkins Glen Gray, 2LT, Chrome wheels. I am "dying" to have this car!
Like the videos Chuck. Good information. I bought my first Corvette in 1987. Had one ever since. Love the looks of the Z06 just not the price. I love my Esclade better. Keep your starbucks card I can't take my Gun in there.
Can''t I just win a Vette? That would be cool too! Can't afford one yet. But when I do, it'll be two! A Grand Sport and a Hennessey HPE 1000. But yes, a gift card would be awesome, just like your videos!
Everything should be ceramic?! Dude, it's a corvette(and a Z06 at that). It's made to be driven, fast and hard, not be a garage queen showpiece.
Anyone ever asks me why I think the world is unfair, I tell them it's because cars like these are bought, owned, and then only sometimes driven(and never DRIVEN) be people like this.
I do agree that the Grand Sport is the one to get, but only so you can drive it harder than the higher trims.
Do you know if the 2017 Vettes or 2018 will have an upgrade on gauges. Whatever happened to the days American cars had 8 or 9 gauges... When, or if your transmission light or engine light comes on, its too late ...idiot lights and bar graphs is a recipe for costly repairs.
I know a lot of guys are gonna think I'm nuts but thats alright. This is strictly my opinion, I hate
those black wheels. I think they look cheap. I'm an old old school chrome guy. I'm 69 years old
now and I do love Corvettes, I just can't stand those black wheels. Gimme chrome wheels anyday.
liked (thumbs up) your vid, agree because I test drove stingray, then z06 but bought a 17GS 3LT red int Heritage pkg
On a hot day at a track you will wish you had purchased a GS. I haven't seen a new Z06 run a whole 25 min. session in a HPDE yet without overheating.
If you go to the track, and assuming the Chevy has fixed the over heating issues - get the Zo6. For just driving through the city, the GS. You didn't mention anything about the over heating issues.
I mean I like your car is beautiful and really looking good I don’t have a grants for 2019 three LT lower it I love this guy I’m just tired customer little bit to make a nice and beautiful so anyway I watch your videos and really good though take care man thank you
In few seconds you got me to subscribe..
My god that's my dream car..
I would change a thing 👍👌🇺🇸❤🤩
What about your ZO6 passing smog does it have the catalytic converters anymore, this may be a dumb question I just don't know?
One thing that I’m finding is that there are many much more options that people get on the Z06 : including seats - and exterior then on the GS so if you’re buying used you’re better off to get Z06
So blacked out. Love it.
Thank you sir, I appreciate you stopping by the channel. Have a blessed week.
Love everything about z06..but the trunk button always pop everytime I exit vehicle
It's just my personal preference but I would rather have a LaFerrari FXX-K over the Grand Sport Or Z06
I have a C5 convertible and I enjoy it I would love to upgrade to a C6/7. Great Video
Just re-watched this video. Chuck, miss you and miss your content. I hope you are doing well!
Great Video Chuck
I have a Charger SRT8 that I will be selling soon and getting into a new car ;)
GS vs Z06 it all comes down to what you are looking for out of the Corvette, with roughly a $15K difference in the base models
Supercharged LT4 warranty would have me SOLD haha but I could totally see the reasoning for getting a GS over a Z06.
You could totally get a GS, ProCharge it and build it up really nice as well, but if you're looking for more performance and a super fast car, my opinion would be to go with the Z06, with a warranty supercharger :D
Keep up the great Work
Thank you sir for your feed back. Out of the Dodges I definitely love the charger the most. In the Hellcat option 707 with four doors thats just crazy. The warranty is a huge thing with the Z06. If you modify the GS with a pro charger there goes that warranty and the Z06 gives you 60,000 or 5 years with all that power. Again, appreciate the feed back.
💯% correct about the brakes
The point of having the metal brakes is the stopping power vs cost model. If the user tracks his car regularly, you'll change out both versions fairly often and still have roughly the same stopping power. However, you can save a ton of money by having the metal versions. He is right about the brake dust though.
have you ever thought about investing in a detailing product? I'm really thinking about it, could be something really cool specially for people like us who really like our cars super clean
LOL modifications . too funny. my 03 Silverado is so rusty up here in NY modifications are the last thing I can do to the poor thing. LOL . Im living my dreams though all the youtube channels that can afford these awesome cars .. keep up the kool vids
Love that reply. I am sorry for those harsh winters and salt filled roads up in the North East. Thanks for watching as always.
badass corvette...
I have a 2012 Dodge Charger I going lower 1.6 & 1.7 ...
Love the chargers. The hellcat charger is my favorite. You have some power and can have more than one person with you.
Test drive the GT350 you’ll probably never get the ZO6 for sure 😎
If you like to modify your cars get the z06 because if you modify the grand sport you can loose your warranty
I knew itd was an X-Pipe but then you had to do it again. My cousin has a C7 Stingray that he's gotten up to around 550HP (headers, exhaust and cams).
My cousin had me stand behind his while under a parking garage in OC MD, and with that X-Pipe plus Corsa ridiculous, yours sounds tamed on video (in person I'm sure a different story) but crazy. Job well done sir.
Chuck I love your video Boss I used to have a 2010 grandsport had our first son and had to trade the baby in to have a baby were very blessed now with 2 boys our son is now 4 and we're thinking about getting the 2017 collectors edition and you just made me determined to buy it appreciate your honesty in your vids 👍🏼keep um comin hello from Amarillo Tx
I understand those priorities comes first. You can get some great deals on used Corvettes and save thousands and they are like new. I am from Sherman Tx been to Amarillo several times. Stay safe.
can get a used z06 with low miles for abt 60 k. would you still get the gs if u could have gotten a used z06 for around the same price??
hate to say it bro but this video was a total miss,,, it was all over the place ? not usually the case your usually right on,,,just sayin,,,keep up the good work though bro ill keep watchin as long as your putting them out,,,cars lookin great by the way !
I have a red on black 2006 Mercedes with 20,200 miles. I love when I drive it with the top down
which one faster?
😂😂 Z06 for sure.
What’s your thoughts on 2019 grand sport with a super charger? Is it worth it?
I would probably start with the gs then if I want more power I'd get the z06.
I Love your Show just watched it for the first time! Look forward too next week. I'll get a video to you ASAP on my 2011 Grand Sport.
Thanks
Rick Lark
Thanks Rick and welcome to the channel. Looking forward to seeing the ride.
Could people who wouldn't mind doing so and are actually able to do so, pitch in around a grand so I can buy one of these?
Hopefully you don’t let your wife drive it ( just because of the license plate ) 😂
I got a Z06 over the GS I love the speed!!
The Z06 is a whole other animal as you know.
i am 38 end i din't wait 2 more years so i pick my Z06 two days a go fuck i love my car
Some people wouldn't understand that this is a grown mans thing thats all...
I’m really thinking about getting a corvette. What is the fastest one?
i just got the 17 Grand Sport. #790 of 850 on the collector edition. Blue interior. I LOVE this car.
Jason brussman Those are some cool cars. There is one at my local dealership. Not many of them left. Great get.
I think if you're going to get the wide body and "go fast" look, you should get the power to back it up! So good choice with the Z06!!
mmjsport789 the Grand Sport is no slouch.
hey bro nice ..
Tyrone Jones thanks for stopping by the channel. Have a blessed week.
I owned the 2014 Stingray Z51 3LT and traded it for the 2016 Z06 Mother's Day of last year. I went from a fully loaded Z51 to the 1LZ Z06. There is absolutely no comparison between the power of the two. And I don't miss for one second the carbon fiber interior or heated seats or all of the upgrades that pushed the price of the Z51 right into the general area of base Z06. I also don't care about the additional splitter or side rails and I would imagine they do zero to the feel of the car at speed. I upgraded, for $150.00 from eBay, to the stage two rear splitter. The Grand Sport's price is way too close to a base Z06 for it to be a sensible option. Spend a little more for the Z06 and forget the $20,000.00 in upgrades to the 3LZ that will do zero to the dynamics of the car. Buying a loaded or 2LT GS instead of a base Z06 makes zero sense whatsoever.
The 3LZ package is for those guys who want more than just the performance. You right a 1LZ Base Z06 can do everything the 3LZ with the Z07 package can do except for when it on a track. The Z07 package makes that car glued to the track. I just came from the track today and to watch a Z06 with out the splitter, phase 3 wicker bill and phase 3 splitter and cup 2 tires was eye opening. Now if your just going to be out on the road and go fast in a straight line the 1LZ Z06 will all you need for sure. Thanks for watching have a blessed weekend.
Way too close? It's nearly 25% different at base model.
The seats look very comfortable what ones are they please ???
Corvettes 918 I got the 2017 Grand Sport and it's fun. I am thinking about putting a pro/supercharger on it for it to be on par with a Z06. Gonna modify it more after that too! My goal is to get it to 740 hp. What do you think? It will be fun to race stock Z06's on the highway and embarrass them😂. Gonna take it in this summer and change the interior a lot too. I picked the wrong color interior(gonna change it to yellow or blue) and forgot to add carbon fiber😂
Budder Lover3388 If you think it's going to be a car your going to keep for a long time I say mod that baby out. Mods are just money you never get back. They are making so many GS and Z06's that it's hurting their future values. I haven't done any major mods because I want to see that ZR1 first. The GS in the heritage package looks amazing for sure.
Corvettes 918 Yeah I'm thinking about keeping it for a while I want to have fun with it while the hp is relevant then when a stock corvette comes with 1k hp in 10 years then I will upgrade😂😂😂
