Dude, I was so confused why YT gave me a notification for an old video, then realized it didn't say "Old man gets down in a Hellcat." You got me there man!
@@refillz5281 not reliably. Ya a 400+ci LS will make 600hp but not reliably compared to what they’ve done and not very streetable compared to what they’ve done.
The new Z06 is phenomenal. It looks amazing, sounds amazing, and performs like a dream. I haven't driven one yet, but a family friend did take me out for a ride in his C8 Z06. It's nutty. I'm more of a German car enthusiast, and would never buy an American car (unless it was a classic). But I'd totally buy a C8 Z06 if I could. Such an amazing car.
The Z06 isn't a buildable platform yet so I would personally suggest finishing the gtr and having fun with it until some power adders start to hit the market...
And that wasn’t even a Z07 with all of the aero pieces, Cup 2 Rs, and stiffer suspension. THAT thing is a certified weapon on track. If y’all can manage to actually find a Z06, then absolutely get one! I guarantee this car will become a legend down the road, and the last of its kind in a lot of ways.
you saw what you needed to see man the C8 Z06 is the way to go with that naturally aspirated flat plane crank V8 it has so much potential for more performance but overall it comes equipped from the factory amazing
Would upgrading the coilovers and sway bars help without the body roll? I’d upgrade the brakes to drilled and slotted rotors to help with braking, too. Great video as usual brother.
that car takes the world by storm, pepole might say it may sound stupendous and outlandish, but its an amazing car with good personality behind it. If i ever buy a corvette its this one here. the assesanating thing is that car will forever be a icon in the future. Its stylish and gorgeous car. The normal c8 is simplistic. this is decked out
I completely get the linear power band. I used to have a 2020 Challenger Scat Pack which on paper makes 485hp naturally aspirated while being RWD. Now I’m driving an EVO X MR making around 420hp but it’s AWD. Not going to lie I miss the Scat it’s just completely different beasts and when you got all the power there and it doesn’t delay to go it’s a completely different feeling.
12:40 the e-ray is much heavier than the zo6 and doesn’t pull up top like it either. for a canyon car you want the zo6 with zo7 track pack. the e-ray is for rich dads who wanna be the fastest guy from a stop light. electric motors almost shut off completely after like 80mph
I say keep tge GTR and build it a little further. Having a high power AWD car that you can still track and do well is very nice. It doesn't handle 'bad' so you can still have fun, just can't compare to mid engine cars. That GTR could potentially be a roll/dig MONSTER that you can still track
I have seen more c8 vettes in SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS than any other C over the last year or two. They are everywhere. No Z06 yet. But there's also a 1700hp C6 ZR1 that has been dominant for almost a decade now that keeps the balance lol handfuls of C7 from base to ZR1's. Kansas is mustang County tho. Any and every mustang can be found in Wichita and Hutch area
I took a trip to north ga/south tn and I wanted to take a trip to the dragon but I didn’t want to push my limits and it was wayyyy too out of the way to do it reasonably and make it to Nashville in time
You already went to McLaren after Justin now I believe that Justin will get you in a zo6. There's only 2 TH-camrs I'm excited to see build and really DRIVE them. You and street speed
15:56 for anyone who hasn't seen, a truck wasn't paying attention and barreled over the yellow line into Adam LZ's lane and totaled his perfect spec manual UV purple 992 gt3 with him and his girlfriend in the car. Mountain drives are the most fun experiences you can have on a public road, but always remember even if you're doing everything right there's always the risk of a 3 ton tank ruining the day
Honestly as much as I want to see you with a new z06 I kinda wanna see what you could do with an eray, plus I’m sure Chevy has more up their sleeves with this platform
Dude... if you slow it down to .25 speed.... you 100% saved that dude's life. You can see you turn to the right as you see him. In my opinion, if you don't correct there, he at least clips your mirror. That was so close. I hope that guy sees this video and realizes how close he came to death.
crazy thing is they make two engines for that car ones a flat crank (like a Ferrari) and the other is like you cool LS crazy what GM did man 100% you need to get a c8 even if its the non flat crank

Can we get a video of riding the cherohala skyway. It's just as much fun as the dragon. In my opinion I enjoy it more than the dragon.
I know this is random but what tire gauge are you using? I want one like that 😂
you need to get one, like outright, youll not regret one one bit
I’d say keep it but get the Z06 but then trade it for Zr1 which is supposed to come twin turbo’d later down the line of the C8s
Keep the gtr
Dude, I was so confused why YT gave me a notification for an old video, then realized it didn't say "Old man gets down in a Hellcat." You got me there man!
BRO SAME!
Same bro 😂😂😂😂
Same bro same
Everybody in this thread must’ve been there watching him grow the whole way ❤
🤦🏽♂️
gotta give GM some credit..... 670hp out of a 5.5 NA motor. Crazy to say the least and damn good job Merica !!
The most powerful production N/A motor ever made!
V8s have always been capable of 600+ N/A. What's impressive is building a good mid engine car so fast as they did 😂
@@danieldickerson4838 N/A v8.

@Refillz * I agree my 2017 Camaro 2ss 416 LT1 is at 596 WHP. I drove it from Akron, Ohio to Tampa, FL straight thru with only stops for gas.
You know its gonna be a banger when gavin starts racing old guys
Brings back the best of memories 💀 Love seeing elderly people with such taste for muscle and sports cars
I suppose I too was a delusional young man once upon a time..Is age even a factor in this situation... Idk ..maybe?
I suppose I too was a delusional young man once upon a time..Is age even a factor in this situation... Idk ..maybe?
And still a ZR1 to go. I love what they have done with the corvette... it is beautiful.
The Zora too. Supposed to be a ZR1 with the E-ray electric motors on the front 2 wheels.
@@DaInfamous0neso that would be like $277,000? Right? 😢
"Do a flyby" big kudos to Jess, you know they loved that and Gavin was definitely not thinking about it
WE NEED THAT z06 on the channel Gavin, get one sir!
not a black one. you cant see the lines
no

It's awesome to see Justin again he seems really chill and down to earth
The c8 ZR1 is going to be a force to be reckoned 💪
Yea, EU supercars that cost 5 x more are worried right about now.
Not only is the Z06 a awesome NA car, but man that dude Justin can drive. Got to give credit where its due.
The Z06 isn't a buildable platform yet so I would personally suggest finishing the gtr and having fun with it until some power adders start to hit the market...
FINALLY ACW MAKES A RETURN TO THE CHANNEL 😂 Y’all have the best friendship ever that’s like your big brother now
Man reminds me of the c6 vs old school in the hellcat! Love being able to watch the growth from then to NOW!🤙🏾
15:40 I just keep replaying this clip. I love the sound of the transmission switching gears
And that wasn’t even a Z07 with all of the aero pieces, Cup 2 Rs, and stiffer suspension. THAT thing is a certified weapon on track. If y’all can manage to actually find a Z06, then absolutely get one! I guarantee this car will become a legend down the road, and the last of its kind in a lot of ways.
when I went to the tail in a model S the fastest I went was 52 and it was sketchy asf; Gavin is just casually doing 94😂
Dam that mean Tesla are ASS in the corners 😭😭
Great save on those sumos man. Your lane discipline was very notable throughout, you are indeed a great, attentive driver. Good stuff
SUMO NEVER LEFT HIS LANE?
My evaluation of the C-8 is, that it is like driving a go cart with 500hp. Absolutely love it.
Bro if y’all would come up into the KY/VA line a few more hours away you can absolutely do whatever you want on 160 with no cops, very light traffic
you saw what you needed to see man the C8 Z06 is the way to go with that naturally aspirated flat plane crank V8 it has so much potential for more performance but overall it comes equipped from the factory amazing
Hell yeah Justin's back on the videos. Been missing him
Justin is just one cool MoFo.
He sure is and a baller!
Bro these back-to-back videos are going hard. Keep up the great work some awesome content seriously
Would upgrading the coilovers and sway bars help without the body roll? I’d upgrade the brakes to drilled and slotted rotors to help with braking, too. Great video as usual brother.
Getting sway bars for the rear will definitely help bod roll, also a new set of coilovers wouldn't hurt either.
Swar bar and Sway links, along with toe links and other suspension to help with body roll
FINALLY JUSTIN IS BACK!!

If i ever buy a corvette its this one here. the assesanating thing is that car will forever be a icon in the future. Its stylish and gorgeous car. The normal c8 is simplistic. this is decked out
And let’s just say my boy is definitely getting a Z06. And you deserve it completely 🫡
Good to see Justin back on the channel. I always enjoy when you guys head up to The Tail of the Dragon.
“old man in hellcat gets down!” classic
Bro recreated his most famous video. 😂. “Old man I hellcat gets down.” The video that got me hooked on this channel
KEEP THE GTR BUT ALSO GET A VETTE 👀👀
I got to drive one last week and they’re incredibly fast for being stock
Amazing handling picks up fast and a beautiful car all around
There’s tons of C8 Corvettes on the road here in Central Florida, also. Surprises me for something they didn’t make as many as previous generations.
Bigger turbos on the nismo will be stuuupidd fast 😂😂😂😂
That C8 Z06 is an absolute American Masterpiece.
ole man ina hellcat was one of the best things to happen to the channel and it now continues
Missed seeing Justin in the videos
Old man showed you his taillights 😂

I just want to see Gavin build a straight up track car. I would love to see that
I fuckin love Justin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I agree, it would be more versatile. If he got front and rear sway bars plus a new set of racing coilovers he wouldnt want to get rid of it.
so happy to see Justin back in the videos
Hey kids! GAVIN posted!! I also love the more regular uploads recently! Good shit Gavin, good shit! Donnie too!!
I never thought I'd like the C8 when it first came out. I'm in love with them now
@7:50 if you can find one I highly recommend gettin a Z06 it’s an amazing car and would be super cool on your channel

Don’t get rid of the GTR, remember how bad you wanted one😭you got the best of the best

Did you just say that the GTR is the next giveaway car?? It sure does sound like it!! 😆
The nostalgia in this title is too much 😭
Gavin remember when you used to drive the black car 😭 I miss watching it and I haven't seen it in years it seems like lol
This is the content everyone loves!
Good to see Justin again! Man I’ve been hating on those C8’s not gonna lie but that Z06 is something
My Chevy store has one in stock right now and it’s 1 of maybe 80 for the Z07 package
Tires, pressure and coils.
The GTR is sweet. Keep it and get the C8 Z
Do I hear a full street performance kit for the GTR🫣.
Amazing video throughly enjoyed this video. Great seeing Justin and Sean. Any words on Poe?
I’m back in Louisiana packing up my stuff. I’m going to Georgia🤫😎
@PoeBoys It will be great seeing you and family together again always great content
@@PoeBoys Hopefully Tristan you and I can hook up and visit when we go back to AMP for his 3 day class
Its not just you guys with the c8s I rarely see any other vets anymore.
Question, why does he lift the ebrake on the GTR and its a automatic?
GTRs Performance definitely got overshadowed but all 3 exhaust notes bouncing off the trees was beautiful
Dude... if you slow it down to .25 speed.... you 100% saved that dude's life. You can see you turn to the right as you see him. In my opinion, if you don't correct there, he at least clips your mirror. That was so close. I hope that guy sees this video and realizes how close he came to death.
this about the guy at the start ish? I'm still watching lol, edit uh, nvm. I see it.
Aren’t the ECU’s in the new Z06’s not able to be tuned ?
Gavin if youre gonna get a c8, wait for the zr1. Was seen pacing with a gt2rs, so we know where Chevy is aiming performance wise.
"The next time we race anything I'm cheatin'!" Justin. Hahah
Lol the nostalgia hit hard on this one
As a og from the old man in a Hellcat gets down this is a different feeling man ❤🔥🔥
The homage in this video is great
@2:00 I personally own a C8 Z06 also and can tell you he didn’t launch the car at all, if he launched it he would have been right next to you
You are correct sir.
That Bette is just that sticky. Walked your 1000hp by a mile
Gotta use the paddles if you want more control
@itsjusta6official just an idea for something down the road, I always wanted to see a 71 pontiac GTO perform on a track stock then upgraded
19:57 Shaun is the Man✊️
Boostline rods, Some Super nice Pistons and some Xona rotor turbos the gtr will be spicy! Keep the gtr it’s a nice change up on the channel.
Build the GTR further. You’ve got to think you’ve done just engine mods. Spend a little more time building it and it’ll handle better.
Pulls up to acw: "look at all them corvettes". Meanwhile im just starijng down the square body chevy on the right
Always a good day when Gavin makes a post!
This makes me more excited to get my c8 z06 at msrp. Been on a waitlist with the biggest dealership in the nation since 2021😫
I love the GTR but man that z06… 😮💨
crazy thing is they make two engines for that car ones a flat crank (like a Ferrari) and the other is like you cool LS crazy what GM did man 100% you need to get a c8 even if its the non flat crank
Best thing to see on my day off is a notification that you posted
Ain’t nothing better than having both cars my boy 🎉
Good to see justin in the videos again.
Ahh another banger of a video, keep it goin gavin! All love 🤘🏼
I saw the title and immediately thought you reposted from YEARS ago 😂😂 was gonna watch it either way
A full Time Attack type build on the GTR would be sick
Glad you guys were safe when the bike was coming towards you, that was scary as hell.
Great minds think alike lol I thought it was a repost then remembered the first one was the hellcat guy🤣🤣🤣
remember, the GTR is only stage 1 of alpha.... maybe some twin 90mm's
Edit: Bye Bye headgaskets lol
22:01 "800whp ain't alot, it won't spin alot" meanwhile my 500whp silverado can't hook on 325 et street r tires 😂
The wait time to get a c8z is closer to 3-4 years. Unless you pay a 100k markup. But at that point you have better options for that price
C8 z06 is a legit 458 replacement. Mid engine is killer on curvy roads.
Why not get carbon ceramics for the grt
Please dont get rid of the GT-R😫
Swear you can’t sleep on the old timers they some of the best drivers
