Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Also for some reason this car just screamed stranger things to me, so thats where the random Upsidedown easteregg came from!
Gotta give Joe props on the film quality of his videos. Not only are the reviews excellent, but the color grading, music, camera angles, etc. are always so on point!
I would do it lol but I live in Canada lol... But I really love your channel, and I originally subbed because of the outstanding shooting/editing skills. Keep it up, and I'm excited to see those exterior shots yo!!!
I've hit the like button because it is genuine feeling. On the other hand, z06s are notorious for heat soaking so I really would not be comfortable tracking it. If you take it to a track, on avg you get about 4 laps... Then the car goes to limp mode because it has overheated. Customers are actually suing chevy because of this right now. I could find barely used Porsches all day for a brand new z06 price tag, have a great interior with none of the mechanical issues. Hellcat chassis is the same as an 06 chrysler 300 SRT8 which is the same as the 1980s Merc E Class...
MrOptimisticc i hear you man. I'm 5'5" barefoot. 5'5.5" on a good day. Would love to be 6'5". But hey atleast we'll never have a problem fitting in sports cars.
Man who ever owns that Z06 must not give a shit about their paint because its got an insane amount of micro-scratches. Troy Sowers would shit himself seeing a car like this haha.
That's the beauty of owning a black car you can see EVERYTHING. I take care of my c7 z06 torch red. On camera the paint looks perfect. But unfortunately I do have a few stone chips. You just can't avoid them. 🤷♂️ The car is very low to the ground.
I wanna see more of your profession as I’m going to school for computer science and it really interests me, and looking back on your videos, it seems like the most viewed videos you have are about your work
There are bump stops behind the seats to prevent it from rubbing, you can take those out and get another couple inches of room or so. I’m 6’6 and have drove a couple with no issues
Thoroughly impressed with your channel Joe......Redline Reviews, Matt Maran Motoring and your channels are the best on UA-cam. Keep up the great content!!!
I really enjoyed the review and don't want to argue or challenge anything you said, BUT haha... The majority of people buying these cars don't give a shit about handling for the most part because the car will never see a track with the exception of maybe a drag strip.. The average car guy buys a hellcat because it looks and sounds amazing (at a fairly affordable price 70-80K) and they are faster than 99% of the cars you'll come in contact with in an every day driving situation.
Never get tired of hearing an ls/lt engine sing. Just saw from GMs papers the mid engine vette is getting two 32v dohc engines. A 4.2L & 5.5L. It'll be very interesting how capable they will be. Their performance, weights, sizes & if either has force induction for the vette. (The 4.2L is also going into the ct6 & unknown Cadillac "sports car" )
Joe my man! Fantastic review! So glad to see you back doing a review! Best edit guy on the internet! Side note, my 2018 Raptor I ordered 3 months ago just arrived over weekend, it really is nice and IMO is more luxurious than 2017 my C63S AMG.. Great truck!
Thanks for the review Joe. I’m 6’2 200 lbs so Ive been struggling to find a car that’s big, fast, and feels comfortable. At first I was going to go with the hell cat but then changed my mind to the corvette since it’s faster and has a more sleek meaner look to it for the same dollar amounts. So thank you for doing this review it means a lot hearing your honest from a 6’5 car enthusiast.
I’m a ford owner I own a 13 Shelby let me tell you I will have one of those !!!!!!!!!!! The z06 looks sick it’s fast !!! It’s so stealthy looking what a killer design the c7 is
Just a tip, Joe: if you wanna do widescreen, now's the time to start editing in a 2:1 timeline! With most phones going to a wider aspect ratio, it'll fit flawlessly on there! :)
Looking forward to it! Great review of the car, by the way. Drove one not too long ago, and had similar thoughts on the sub-par interior. Ended up going with a Maxima and saving the larger purchase for next year!
Well done Sir, refreshing honesty and I enjoyed how you have a certain down to earthiness demeanor, not arrogant like of lot of reviewers I see on you tube. Keeping it real, keep up the good work. Definite thumbs up !!!!!!!
Really enjoyed your video. The blower you are showing is not from a 2017 minor point but this is part of the upgrades from the 2016 to the 2017, the supercharger is taller to allow more airflow.
What mods does it have to be making 50 horsepower over stock? Other than the corsa exhaust which shouldn't make much more than the stock exhaust which is already a performance exhaust.
Did u say a gt or a gt350 chassis wasn't set up right. I can understand the gt, but the shelby is built to track and every bit as good as a zo6 for that purpose. The z is just faster in a straight line
It is definitely the best bang for the buck. Overall, good review. Very honest comments about the Hellcat and the Mustang GT350. I like that you can own GTRs and still appreciate something other than JDM. I've got an STi and Honda S2000, but also a '17 Z06/07 and a '13 Gen V Viper GTS. If it's good...........it's good.......... Subscribed. Cheers.
I’m 6’7” & have zero issues with comfort in my C7. Also 265 pounds, because I’m a Slavic big boy - still no issues. OK, it’s not a cross-country car ... won’t try to say otherwise, but I have driven from SF to LA for 6+ hours & it’s no drama. Good video otherwise sir! 👍🏻
Great video looking at buying one of these bad boys will be my first car that has serious power and is a serious driver track race car.. still looking at other options but this is getting more and more appealing by the day.. thanks Joe
Hey joe. I’m in the market for the z06 and the bmw m6 gran coupe. I have seen both of ur videos. I wonder which one is better in ur opinion? I kno they r both great cars. Thanks.
Yet a nice video - thanks a million. Just something I came to think of ... what are the odds of you doing some Old vs New videos? ... like old Firebird vs new Firebird etc - just to check how they compare to their roots?
Hey brother very good video. I've looked at alot of videos of this car because I planned to buy one this time this year in 2018. I'm curious here this is a 2017 Z-06 correct. I've haven't seen those style of CORVETTE wheels on most so I'm guessing those wheels are special line up from Chevrolet.
Stumbled on you're videos a while ago...have been watching all the other automotive youtubers also...gotta say other than JWW I'm even getting sick of his shit, I gotta say that you're really enjoyable to watch man..simply just because you just do this for fun on the side and you can tell...sick of getting clickbaited and watching useless shit just cuz they're trying to earn if it...I ride with you man..keep it simple and real...hopefully more people will catch on..no need to force content and make a video every day....pump the vids out when you can/want and we'll keep coming back eeertime
Thank you, I love it when facts trump hate. By the way the 2019 Z06 goes from 0-60 in 2.85 seconds not 3.+ which is squarely in the time frame of the McLaren Senna and the Lamborghini Huracán cars costing 3-6 times as much. So unless you solely base your criteria for a car being a Supercar because of price and exclusivity, then the Corvette Z06 and ZR1 are truly Supercars. No they don’t have the interior quality of Lamborghini and no they are not as Rare, but that should not bare them from the title of Supercar. Exotics? No they are not Exotics because they are massed produced and anyone can purchase them. But they are most definitely Supercars and I think an adjustment in Automotive terms should be made, to quantify the difference between cars with Supercar performance (performance far above normal daily drivers Honda Civics, Toyota Camry,) I.E Vettes, 350GT, Hellcat Twins 👯 BMW M series and Exotics Lamborghini Ferrari McLaren
I can only imagine what the ZR1 will be like. I’m buying the new M5 once it’s available. Wouldn’t mind handing over the keys to Joe just to get a sick video of my car on the channel (and as a keepsake 😇).
Nice and accurate review (I own a 2016 Z06 (M7).....Best all around performance car for the $ Drag Racing \ street racing with the Dodge Demon or Hellcat (Own a 6 speed till my Demon comes in) is fun!!..... Drag racers don't care if it cant handle like a sports car on the track.
hellcat is a drag car, the Shelby is a true track car and takes more skill to drive than the hellcat and the z06, the z06 is a supercar competitor. Those are 3 different cars for 3 different purposes with the Shelby competing with the corvette more closely than the z06. You have no idea what you're talking about when you say "I wouldn't want to take a hellcat to a track," it's not made for that and its not meant to do that anyway. just another millenial hipster who reads brochures. I own both the z06 and the charger hc so I should know.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Also for some reason this car just screamed stranger things to me, so thats where the random Upsidedown easteregg came from!
How did you do those upside down flakes!?
Joe Knows Best what about the demon?
Joe Knows Best have you sat inside of a masserati?
Joe Knows Best I
Gotta give Joe props on the film quality of his videos. Not only are the reviews excellent, but the color grading, music, camera angles, etc. are always so on point!
Simply Car Things I would like to see more exterior shots tho.
Just need to get a camera man so i can get some more exterior/rolling shots!
I would do it lol but I live in Canada lol... But I really love your channel, and I originally subbed because of the outstanding shooting/editing skills. Keep it up, and I'm excited to see those exterior shots yo!!!
Simply Car Things ikr, I had to steal a couple songs from his videos in mine
Joe Knows Best lol I’d be your camera man but I’m here in South Carolina
“I’m not that tall”........bro, you’re like 9 inches above the national average.
Christian Little lol yeah that was certainly an odd statement.
Dollar for dollar, you just can't go wrong with a Corvette 👍

Im only 6 foot 5
Bruh. Im ONLY 5 foot 5. Imagine the struggles
MrOptimisticc how'd you end up losing your foot?
Same lmao
techmaster777 he meant to say
"I'm only 6 foot 5"
Bruh. I'm 5 foot 5
Imagine the struggle
MrOptimisticc i hear you man. I'm 5'5" barefoot. 5'5.5" on a good day. Would love to be 6'5". But hey atleast we'll never have a problem fitting in sports cars.
drepop803 Only thing I can tell that sucks about being short is not being able to flat foot most motorcycles lol.
Man who ever owns that Z06 must not give a shit about their paint because its got an insane amount of micro-scratches. Troy Sowers would shit himself seeing a car like this haha.
That's the beauty of owning a black car you can see EVERYTHING. I take care of my c7 z06 torch red. On camera the paint looks perfect. But unfortunately I do have a few stone chips. You just can't avoid them. 🤷♂️ The car is very low to the ground.
The paper plate says its a 2015...
Nicolas D yeah I saw that too :/ what’s up with that Joe?
Didn't catch that, was going off of a manual i found in the glove box. Either way the cars really haven't changed from 15-17!
Plate says 2015, but could be a early 2016?
I was just about to say......... 😂
Nicolas D I know right😕😕
I'm happy with my C7 GS. I love that I can push through the gears a little longer before I could potentially kill myself.
I wanna see more of your profession as I’m going to school for computer science and it really interests me, and looking back on your videos, it seems like the most viewed videos you have are about your work
Did you miss a shift at 4:19? Sounds like you went from 2nd to 5th...
Jacob Griesbaum granny shifting not double clutching 😂
Yessss. I’ve been waiting for the Hellcat review for forever!
IDK man, new Maseratis are pretty shit as far as overall quality goes.
The new Zr1 is King 👑💯
There are bump stops behind the seats to prevent it from rubbing, you can take those out and get another couple inches of room or so. I’m 6’6 and have drove a couple with no issues
Dude, hats off for a strait up to the point video without all the BS. Great video...............Subbed! I'd like to see a video on the ZL1.
Thank you for this Vid my favorite so far how can anyone not like this car.
“Not that tall” “Right around 6ft5”...
Are still going to review that m3 e92 with the carbon fiber trunk?
For the next review can it be one of these cars : Nissan GTR, E63 amg, Panamera Turbo, X5M, Audi R8? Anyways lit review as always 🔥
When you just got home and there's a new Joe video. Fuck yea
Thoroughly impressed with your channel Joe......Redline Reviews, Matt Maran Motoring and your channels are the best on UA-cam. Keep up the great content!!!
Thanks for all the great content man. Really enjoy your channel
I really enjoyed the review and don't want to argue or challenge anything you said, BUT haha... The majority of people buying these cars don't give a shit about handling for the most part because the car will never see a track with the exception of maybe a drag strip.. The average car guy buys a hellcat because it looks and sounds amazing (at a fairly affordable price 70-80K) and they are faster than 99% of the cars you'll come in contact with in an every day driving situation.
Not faster than this, and this is a track car...it's not even close...
Never get tired of hearing an ls/lt engine sing. Just saw from GMs papers the mid engine vette is getting two 32v dohc engines. A 4.2L & 5.5L. It'll be very interesting how capable they will be. Their performance, weights, sizes & if either has force induction for the vette. (The 4.2L is also going into the ct6 & unknown Cadillac "sports car" )
Seems like a legit superb long-range cruiser,if not an outright GT.
The Stranger Things effect on the IG stories got me hyped for this vid
Joe my man! Fantastic review! So glad to see you back doing a review! Best edit guy on the internet! Side note, my 2018 Raptor I ordered 3 months ago just arrived over weekend, it really is nice and IMO is more luxurious than 2017 my C63S AMG.. Great truck!
Thanks for the review Joe. I’m 6’2 200 lbs so Ive been struggling to find a car that’s big, fast, and feels comfortable. At first I was going to go with the hell cat but then changed my mind to the corvette since it’s faster and has a more sleek meaner look to it for the same dollar amounts. So thank you for doing this review it means a lot hearing your honest from a 6’5 car enthusiast.
I can vouch that I saw a 6'5 man fit into the C8 zo6 (pre production) comfortably the other day
Something serious when he says in the first 20seconds this is the car I’m going to go to jail in… 😂😂 got me wanting one now.
I’m a ford owner I own a 13 Shelby let me tell you I will have one of those !!!!!!!!!!! The z06 looks sick it’s fast !!! It’s so stealthy looking what a killer design the c7 is
Bottom line, I've watched about 49 vids on Z06s ...and I think overall this is the best...just flat out good shit. Thanks dude...nice shades.
Joe awesome video as always. I love the Zo6.. one thing. is it me or does this video seem a little darker than ur normal videos?
Just a tip, Joe: if you wanna do widescreen, now's the time to start editing in a 2:1 timeline! With most phones going to a wider aspect ratio, it'll fit flawlessly on there! :)
I started this video in it but wanted to knock it out and premier was doing some weird things while editing it in 21:9. Next one tho!
Looking forward to it! Great review of the car, by the way. Drove one not too long ago, and had similar thoughts on the sub-par interior. Ended up going with a Maxima and saving the larger purchase for next year!
+Kevin How the fuck did you go from a Corvette to a maxima?
Well done Sir, refreshing honesty and I enjoyed how you have a certain down to earthiness demeanor, not arrogant like of lot of reviewers I see on you tube. Keeping it real, keep up the good work. Definite thumbs up !!!!!!!
75,000 subs good shit homie
Really enjoyed your video. The blower you are showing is not from a 2017 minor point but this is part of the upgrades from the 2016 to the 2017, the supercharger is taller to allow more airflow.
you need to find a viper and if possible a viper acr to review. Cant wait to see the hellcat !
Upside down at 5:13 haha that’s awesome
What mods does it have to be making 50 horsepower over stock? Other than the corsa exhaust which shouldn't make much more than the stock exhaust which is already a performance exhaust.
Thank you for this video. I have asked you to make it a while ago. This is my favorite car, really. I am a huge fan of the Corvette.
Did u say a gt or a gt350 chassis wasn't set up right. I can understand the gt, but the shelby is built to track and every bit as good as a zo6 for that purpose. The z is just faster in a straight line
jrvbamafan1 i agree as a owner of a gt350. If they took 300 lbs out of this shelby it wld be perfect. Shes a fat girl
It is definitely the best bang for the buck. Overall, good review. Very honest comments about the Hellcat and the Mustang GT350. I like that you can own GTRs and still appreciate something other than JDM. I've got an STi and Honda S2000, but also a '17 Z06/07 and a '13 Gen V Viper GTS. If it's good...........it's good.......... Subscribed. Cheers.
Love that it was a manual. Last few corvettes I've seen have been auto
Another great video, thanks Joe
Can you do a review on the Jaguar F-Type R.
There’s bump stops behind the seat so it doesn’t rub and you can get 2” more room
have you played with the Dodge 8.4inch infotainment system at all?? I personally love it, and think it bets all competitors
Honestly, the Z06 is my favorite car. Best bang per buck, even if I had 100 million dollars I would still choose the Z06.
Hey man any chance you'd review a Challenger Scatpack?! Its my personal favorite muscle car and I'd like to hear your take on it!
I’ve been waiting 🙌🏼
I’m 6’7” & have zero issues with comfort in my C7. Also 265 pounds, because I’m a Slavic big boy - still no issues. OK, it’s not a cross-country car ... won’t try to say otherwise, but I have driven from SF to LA for 6+ hours & it’s no drama. Good video otherwise sir! 👍🏻
Video on the Rolex would be cool
Great video looking at buying one of these bad boys will be my first car that has serious power and is a serious driver track race car.. still looking at other options but this is getting more and more appealing by the day.. thanks Joe
There is now an option pack that allows you to replace the interior plastic with carbon fiber
Hey joe. I’m in the market for the z06 and the bmw m6 gran coupe. I have seen both of ur videos. I wonder which one is better in ur opinion? I kno they r both great cars. Thanks.
This car was born to run, its a shame it cant be done on public roadways, this is more a luxury than a neccesity.
The LS2 in the 2005-2007 C6 Corvettes had 400hp/400 lb.ft. of torque. So yes, equal parts hp and torque existed at least 13 years ago.
Loved the Stranger Things Reference! Joe gets it! :D
Yet a nice video - thanks a million.
Just something I came to think of ... what are the odds of you doing some Old vs New videos? ... like old Firebird vs new Firebird etc - just to check how they compare to their roots?
2017 zl1 1le review for future please. love Chevrolet aswell. I have a Camaro 2.0t
It's pretty sick for sure Joe! Isn't the Camaro SS 1LE faster than it though? Also doesn't it have better too?
Hey brother very good video. I've looked at alot of videos of this car because I planned to buy one this time this year in 2018. I'm curious here this is a 2017 Z-06 correct. I've haven't seen those style of CORVETTE wheels on most so I'm guessing those wheels are special line up from Chevrolet.
Do you want to make an r8 review? Because thats my all time favourite and I'm curious what would you tell about it :D awesome video as always
The aspect ratio on the video is kinda off?
Dope review as always
Stumbled on you're videos a while ago...have been watching all the other automotive youtubers also...gotta say other than JWW I'm even getting sick of his shit, I gotta say that you're really enjoyable to watch man..simply just because you just do this for fun on the side and you can tell...sick of getting clickbaited and watching useless shit just cuz they're trying to earn if it...I ride with you man..keep it simple and real...hopefully more people will catch on..no need to force content and make a video every day....pump the vids out when you can/want and we'll keep coming back eeertime
My car is older, but it also had 1/1 ratio hp and tourqe. 390/390. "2003 mustang cobra" and it also had a supercharger on it.
Content is on fire bruh
This is a cool video. Thanks a lot. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, I love it when facts trump hate.

Lamborghini
Ferrari
McLaren
awesome video keep it up joe!
Ignoring the fact that it's quite a bit more expensive, would pick this over a GT4?
Music is actually coldskin Koven Remix, perfect soundtrack for this video 👌🏻
Joe thanks for making me want this car even more
Great video brutality honest and right on
Gt350r is meant for the track. Not the plain 350.
Joe, curious, if you had to own a used z06 or the current f80 M3, which would you pick? Or would you rather own a 991.2 gts
+Wahhaj Ali GTS all day 😎. But I’d take the Z over the 3 if it was between the two.
Can you review alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio PLEASE !!
one of my favorite colors, swirl mark black.
Im a Ford Guy but if a person is Honest they have to admit the Corvette is the one thing Chevy does right.
Cleetus has a racing seat lower and further.
I can only imagine what the ZR1 will be like. I’m buying the new M5 once it’s available. Wouldn’t mind handing over the keys to Joe just to get a sick video of my car on the channel (and as a keepsake 😇).
What camera did you shoot this with Joe?
Great honest review of a great sports car.
Just when you start slackin.. you hit us with a sick review 👍👍👍
It’s amazing how little people know about cars they call themselves experts.
I agree with you're rev matching comment and the paddles...not a good design. I've got the A8, so it's all good.
Dope video bro!
Nice and accurate review (I own a 2016 Z06 (M7).....Best all around performance car for the $
Drag Racing \ street racing with the Dodge Demon or Hellcat (Own a 6 speed till my Demon comes in) is fun!!.....
Drag racers don't care if it cant handle like a sports car on the track.
So I work for Hendrick Chevy and to me the clutch in these catches way too high in my opinion. What were your thoughts on that?
You should take a look at the Zr1 they just said they are rolling out in 2019. 755 hp 715 torque.
Love the edit Joe. As far as performance bang for the buck, probably the model S p100d takes the cake or the new tesla roadster.
This will be my next car...maybe not Z06 but there's always upgrades!
You NEED to come to the UK, London, Birmingham and Manchester are all about cars, I’d like to get in contact with you personally if possible bro
Did it get hot or over heat on you
hellcat is a drag car, the Shelby is a true track car and takes more skill to drive than the hellcat and the z06, the z06 is a supercar competitor. Those are 3 different cars for 3 different purposes with the Shelby competing with the corvette more closely than the z06. You have no idea what you're talking about when you say "I wouldn't want to take a hellcat to a track," it's not made for that and its not meant to do that anyway. just another millenial hipster who reads brochures. I own both the z06 and the charger hc so I should know.
I'd like to see test drive more affordable cars like a Civic Type -R. I want to see if you still show the same excitement.
Your the best Joe!!
such a dope car and edit!
Joe's video quality is so good that i can see so many imperfections in that black paint lol. Awesome vid and car though!
