    I agree with you 100%! I’d buy my Z06 again without hesitation. The cars are so fast and so much fun. Great video and I appreciate the honest feedback about your ownership.

      If the ZR1 is not available at MSRP (my dealer says they will honor MSRP) I may even buy another one with the mid run refresh in Sebring Orange. I’m glad you enjoy yours as much as. I do Gordon!! Thanks friend

      @@LOCKHIMUP2024 I encourage you to watch my video of roll racing the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. I also encourage you to go to Google and search Car and Drives’s Lightning Lap All Results and see that the C8 Z06 is the 6th fastest car ALL TIME and the fastest NA car they have ever run on the track. It’s a good read and the lap time chart they have has every single car with every single lap time and there are a TON of Lambos and Ferraris and Porsches slower than the Z06. In fact….. not one Lambo they had in any of the Lightning laps is faster. Don’t take my word for it. Go to google and check it out. It’s so impressive what this car is capable of.

    i love my 7 and 8th gen z06's. I traded in my previous hellcat an some money down for the order. People cant really tell but the new c8 z06 really makes you respect how much work went into the overall design for the experience while the others are all going v4 hybrids and or full electric. Just had Vengeance Racing do some performance work to mines the other month.

On long road trips and when cruising around town this car will get just over 20 MPG… obviously MUCH less if you are running it hard. But it’s been super impressive to get 20+ MPG.
