I'm a mustang guy, just bought a 17 GT, but these Vettes are probably on of the sexiest cars I have ever laid eyes on. I swear to god I would rather have a new Z06 over a Ferrari , Lambo , Porsche etc. GM really nailed the styling on the new Vettes. It's like Transformers meets Knight Rider. Absolutely sickening when you see one on the road. Especially in black. Very nice car dude.
Donnis Bagby ...Thank you, frankly I like all kinds of music. My comment was the music was over the engine sound, not the music itself. I appreciate your comments . E
This was a great and informative video, i thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do more videos showing the outside of the car while your driving but i guess that would take someone else video taping you from a seperate vehicle. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your amazing Z06!!
Excellent Presentation Elliot, Thank You! I REALLY appreciated You Sharing The Process You went through to procure your corvette.....Valuable information to me, in that I am planning on purchasing a corvette (currently overseas) when I return to San Diego!!! Enjoy Your Car/Life and Thank You Again!!! Daniel.
Daniel Patrick Young ... I'm in the San Diego area so when you get it let me know. It is best to get it ordered from a high volume dealer. I gave CA dealers a chance and they could not come close to the deal I got. Look forward to seeing your car.
man I was a lieutenant in the Marine Corps stationed in California San Diego Miss driving in California on the hillside anyway congratulations bro looks like you're the kind of guy that deserves a ZO6 enjoy
Nice! I take delivery of my 2017 in about two weeks. The car you have was one of my color picks. I added red seat belts like you mention, and the red stitching. But then at the last minute I went back to the white with red interior that I initially started with. Enjoyed the video. Can't wait to join the club!
MarkD Burns .. congratulations on your car ! You are going to love it. I'm saving up for my seat belts. Look forward to seeing you. What color are your wheels?
Nice first video. Like the color too! Glad you were able to get what you wanted, the way you wanted. Looking forward to getting a Grand Sport myself. Black w/ yellow hash marks and calibers. Hope to have one in a couple of years.
Nice ride, bro! I hope to get a good deal on one in the next few years as more C7 owners move into the C8. I prefer the manual trans, a dying breed that’s a lot more enjoyable to drive.
pretty damn good for a first video!!! I'm a big manual drive guy but people have to respect when someone just wants an automatic. Nothing wrong with that at all. Quick question, those auto dimming mirrors must come in handy with less glare from vehicles behind you due to the lowered stance of the vehicle. A friend of mine has a Stingray without it and he said he's periodically gets blinded by other cars headlights. Looking forward to more vids brother!!!
Sheena Boyles speaking for myself I don't believe that's why some people are getting the auto trans instead of the manual. If a person is bringing the car to the track sure....but how many are really doing that. I believe overall we have a lot of people that do not know how to drive manual. Simple explanation.
Derek Dennis ,, Hi Derek, I do not belong to a club but got to cars and coffee. Thinking about the Temecula Corvette Club. Would love to see your car!! Fallbrook, Carlsbad and Temecula have cars and coffee from time to time.. you can email me at Sleekta@hotmail.com.
Hi Cindy, I actually sold my 17 Z06 after 3 years ownership. I know I need to do a video on this subject. Cost was too great although I love the Z06. I went classic and have a 1975 Trans Am, finishing up restoration.
@@elliotsgarage7777 Why was the cost too much? I've had my 17 ZO6 going on 3 years and haven't put any dollars into it! I love it and plan on keeping it. I had a 1976 Pontiac Firebird Formula.
If you're getting a C7 ZO6 it better be a 2017. I wouldn't mess with a 15/16 due to the heating issues. You killed it w/the color but personally I'm going manual/black rims...just for the fun factor but I don't even have one so...
Nice, Im actually looking at the identical car to purchase at the moment w only 15k miles. was wondering if 60k was a good buy. Sure looks like hwy 76 and the 15 freeway haha!!!
Just one point. I grew up driving stick and I actually learned to drive on one. I drove stick for the last 20 years, but lately, it just gets annoying. Especially if some jackass is on their phone and come into your lane causing you to brake and shift down. If I'm lucky enough to get this car, I'll get the auto.
Greetings Sir! Love the car, I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a Z06, August, September time frame. I'm sure I'll be able to get a great deal on a 17, but do you think I should go for a 18, seeing how it's only 50.00 more?? I plan on doing your exact spec, but I have to have the stage 2 aero, black wheels, and of course Red seatbelts Lol!! You're killing me... I need more videos!! Thanks a million Sir!! This will be my 4th Vette.
General Lee ... you're only a few months away from the 2018 model and we'll know more about the ZR1, so if can wait I would. You really can't go wrong if you are getting the Z06 because they are discounting what is on the lot. Personally I would order one the way you like it, congrats and more videos on the way...
Hi Eliot love that name. My principle question about the ZO6? Is it too dangerous? Is the power really usable and streetable? Oh God yes the sound of the car is really awe inspiring, particularly with the automatic trans; a better that's right superior propulsion device. Next the chassis integrity, please give us a running assessment.
RootsandTendrils ...the power in my opinion is perfect. You can drive perfectly normal and then look down and you're going 90 mph. The accelerator is your friend unless you flat out floor it from a stop or slow roll, then it can get exciting or scary. Think of it as driving normal but pure power on demand. Really easy to drive IMO.
Okay my man, that sounds like a good initial report concerning power delivery, but I'm sure your assessment will continue to develop. I really will be interested in your revelation concerning the stiffness and particularly the long term durability of the chassis. Squeaks, vibrations, flexing, various noises please do make account of them or the lack thereof. Thanks.
In Tour Mode it is pretty smooth, in Sport Mode the steering and suspension stiffens up but it still drives without it being too harsh. Not sure I will ever drive in Track Mode. Each Mode has its own personality. Thanks !
Good video! It's nice too see and hear someone near my age group for a change. Watching 20 something year olds s a little different. Looking forward to more videos.
Hey Elliot at 6:14 you look alike a very famous jazz drummer { i don't know if you know him ?? } Mr Dennis Chambers ...........he's black and big like you and you look like a white Dennis with mustache he also uses glasses :-) Anyway greetings from a vette fun :-)
Ziggs player ... I called the salesman, James Fillmore, at Les Stanford Chevrolet. He gave me a quote that beat everyone. Then just a $1000 deposit after you give him the options and colors you want. after that you can follow your order online.
Ziggs player .. I wanted to save the $2000 shipping to my door, so he did a courtesy deliver at a local dealer about 30 minutes away. Once you start the process you can chat with Chevrolet.com or text/email the dealer for code updates (stages of the build process). When they notify you that the car is built, the dealer wil turn on the On Star app and you can track by gps. very cool.
Yes they did in 2017. Additional cooler for the M7, taller Supercharger Lid with rearranged internal "brick" and new tune. So far great results on the track for the M7 and no overheating. The jury is still out on the automatic as GM still recommends the M7 for heavy track duty.
Older people yes automatic I can understand but younger people should go with stick shift. Don't come with automatic are faster. .2 hundred of second so save it. Plus sticks are a lot more fun to drive.
There needs to be more manufuckerers making AWD versions of their cars. I live in a wet climate, and even 400 HP in a RWD is completely useless. I'm stuck looking at the upcoming awd BMW M5, the E63S AMG, a GT-R, all well over $100k

Nice video love the color and the fact that us older guys can still enjoy a sport car.
NEVER apologize for smooth R&B music!!! LOL Great video and camera work too! I usually hate grey/silver cars but the corvette looks great in this trim
Donnis Bagby ...Thank you, frankly I like all kinds of music. My comment was the music was over the engine sound, not the music itself. I appreciate your comments . E
Elliot 2017 Z06 - please share the type of camera you used to record this - thanks
I use the new Go Pro Hero 5 Black. Awesome little camera and easy to use...
Good first effort. Enjoyed the video. You can't beat that West Coast scenery and the music, no need to apologize! LOL
djstrick100 , Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate the comment.
djstrick100 I have one just like it lt4 I love the color I'm having a stage 3 front spite put on mine with tall tips great job
Great video. love the different shots
My favorite color // good luck drive in good health....
This car is amazing!! The music is awesome and you're a kool nice humble guy. "Much respect & Congratulations!!
Thank you for the kind words... Appreciate the comments !!
I've seen a couple of these in my city, they're actually quite small cars, very low too but indeed beautiful cars
This was a great and informative video, i thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do more videos showing the outside of the car while your driving but i guess that would take someone else video taping you from a seperate vehicle. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your amazing Z06!!
King Judah - I appreciate the input and will do more shots of the outside of the car. I'll see if I can get some different angles and looks...
Excellent Presentation Elliot, Thank You!

Great review and nice color choice. Enjoy it
man I was a lieutenant in the Marine Corps stationed in California San Diego Miss driving in California on the hillside anyway congratulations bro looks like you're the kind of guy that deserves a ZO6 enjoy
MrVb66 ... thanks, and thank you for your service, Camp Pendleton is in my backyard
Great first video brother! Loved the data and loved the road test.
James Egloff ... Thank you.... appreciate it!
Motivation to my eyes
Up Next_ent . . Awesome!!

Black wheels. I still have not seen the car, only a picture! Hopefully it will go on a truck here in another week or so.
MarkD Burns ... Congrats, you are going to love the car, can't wait to see pics.
Awesome video!! Keep it coming..✌️
Great vid. Love the Z06!
Thanks... l like your avatar...
Nice first video. Like the color too! Glad you were able to get what you wanted, the way you wanted. Looking forward to getting a Grand Sport myself. Black w/ yellow hash marks and calibers. Hope to have one in a couple of years.
Congrats on your GS, you'll love it !!
Thinking about upgrading from 2013 GS.
Nice ride, bro! I hope to get a good deal on one in the next few years as more C7 owners move into the C8. I prefer the manual trans, a dying breed that’s a lot more enjoyable to drive.

I rather play with shift paddles instead of driving stick, specially dealing with l.a. traffic. You lose time each time you shift anyway.
ElmCityFilmReview. The mirrors do a good job, not perfect but overall dims the blinding... the drivers side mirror does the dimming as well.
That is my favorite color ! My current and last Chevrolet are the same color !
Automatics have a faster time in the quarter mile ! That's why most people are buying automatic trans in the new Vett's
Sheena Boyles speaking for myself I don't believe that's why some people are getting the auto trans instead of the manual. If a person is bringing the car to the track sure....but how many are really doing that. I believe overall we have a lot of people that do not know how to drive manual. Simple explanation.
Great Video...Area looks familiar :). I live in Murrieta and I just bought a new 2017 Z06 Convertible 2LZ. Do you belong to a Corvette club?

Great job
Nah, Awesome taste in music💪
Can I ask what you do for a living...i love that car!
buddy ...sure, I'm an operations manager for a hardware company ... thanks
Eliott, do you still have your 17 ZO6? Do you plan on upgrading to a C8 anytime soon or wait for the ZO6 version?!
Hi Cindy, I actually sold my 17 Z06 after 3 years ownership. I know I need to do a video on this subject. Cost was too great although I love the Z06. I went classic and have a 1975 Trans Am, finishing up restoration.

Hanson Fam ...Z06 looks great in all colors and combos, it's what you like. you are correct in getting a 2017+...
Nice, Im actually looking at the identical car to purchase at the moment w only 15k miles.
was wondering if 60k was a good buy.
Sure looks like hwy 76 and the 15 freeway haha!!!
$60k is a good deal anything higher is not. Wholesale bluebook is $57k right now. Let me know if you pull the trigger 🙂

Robert Ellis thanks, I appreciate the comment!
Car looks great but why not the black wheels?
MR. CEO ... most everyone orders the black. I went back and forth but went with the pearl wheels. Both are great choices. thanks for looking. ..
nice vid💯👍
Jorge Ramirez ... thanks !
Grand Sport for me....I'm not racing anyone....Not going to stop at gas stations Every few days....I just like the look of it
+007mrmrbig... GS is a great car. I have always had fast cars. You can drive a Z06 normal. I get good gas mileage for my driving habits.
So the 2107 Vettes are 10 speed auto , right? Single or dual clutch?
No - still A8 due to size... Single clutch with Torque converter...
Buy a performance programmer and unlock those EPA restrictions for a little more HP and TQ ! Well worth the money and easy to do !
Thanks, I'll look into that...
Hey Elliot at 6:14 you look alike a very famous jazz drummer { i don't know if you know him ?? } Mr Dennis Chambers ...........he's black and big like you and you look like a white Dennis with mustache he also uses glasses :-)
Anyway greetings from a vette fun :-)
Thelionfan11 ...lol
i like the pearl wheels better then the black, looks way better.i think chrome would look even better though.
how did you start your ordering process for your car?
Ziggs player ... I called the salesman, James Fillmore, at Les Stanford Chevrolet. He gave me a quote that beat everyone. Then just a $1000 deposit after you give him the options and colors you want. after that you can follow your order online.
how long did the production take? and how do you file your order online? and do they deliver to your driveway or to a dealership?
Ziggs player .. I wanted to save the $2000 shipping to my door, so he did a courtesy deliver at a local dealer about 30 minutes away. Once you start the process you can chat with Chevrolet.com or text/email the dealer for code updates (stages of the build process). When they notify you that the car is built, the dealer wil turn on the On Star app and you can track by gps. very cool.
whats the top speed of this car?
Ziggs player .... I've seen 186 bone stock. I believe they claim stock 200 but don't think that will happen.
Did Chevy fix the over heating problem Zo6 had?
Yes they did in 2017. Additional cooler for the M7, taller Supercharger Lid with rearranged internal "brick" and new tune. So far great results on the track for the M7 and no overheating. The jury is still out on the automatic as GM still recommends the M7 for heavy track duty.
I know that thing can do over 120 my 87 Corvette does that
a manual is the best way to go
White 5.0 at 10:39 :D
Greb Nitty .... Mustang?! Who the hell cares!!
Older people yes automatic I can understand but younger people should go with stick shift. Don't come with automatic are faster. .2 hundred of second so save it. Plus sticks are a lot more fun to drive.
There needs to be more manufuckerers making AWD versions of their cars.
I live in a wet climate, and even 400 HP in a RWD is completely useless.
I'm stuck looking at the upcoming awd BMW M5, the E63S AMG, a GT-R, all well over $100k
Horrible music
Domenic P ... I did the free music first, going to upgrade,, recommendations? ?
