Hope Mike Ward is able to watch these videos. Looks like he's built a quality engine for you.
Thank you Mike!
... just to see this car to be run ...., please.
With those times, it has to be a stock motor. Terrible times.
Even if you had warm tires, those airstrip surfaces are a far cry from a prepped drag strip. Definitely need to take that to a proper strip when you get home to really get some proper numbers for the all important 0-60 and 1/4 mile, though I’m much more interested to see what it does on some road courses.
Thanks Rob! You are very right! I can't wait for the track!
@@SpeedPhenom When Laguna Seca is all repaved, I’m curious to see if you can get that Z06 in the low 1:30s all stock.
Yeah this car isn’t a drag car or roll race car it doesn’t make enough torque with that small engine. Track car only
You can’t use a drag strip for a top speed run, it’s too short
@@glennrosulek7057 I think the new GT3 RS is way too much for the road. I’d be embarrassed to take that out on a normal street run. It’s too much. Having said that I have a normal 991.2 GT3. I think the regular 991.2 GT3 looks organic. The RS has a boy racer wing I don’t like it
Man, this Z06 content is incredible. Cannot wait to see comparison against other cars like the GT3, ZR1, 488 Pista, Mclaren 720s etc.
manual or garbage
Amelia did a drag race Z06 v Hurican v 458 .. Was quite a bit quicker than them
@@TruGodz Yeah, I saw it. I want to see laps around the track vs all of the other cars.
A 720s will smack the z06...and I love the c8z06
hahahahahahahha
Congrats dude. Getting content like this out on the c8z this quick is huge
for?
@@wileecoyote5749 what don’t you understand?
Great video and amazing car.
3.70 - 2.60 = 1.1s
11.45 - 1.1s = 10.35s
Sadly, that's not how it works when it comes to 1/4 mile drag racing.
Also remember that if the speed/time tracker in the car is not GPS based, it is measuring wheel speed, which includes loss of tire traction, making it faster/quicker than it is. .
Gotcha! Thank you for the clarification! Was very curious as I noted with the text.
If you plot his numbers vs. Amelia's....his logic is actually pretty accurate. But he's assuming a perfect launch. So, in an approximate sense, his numbers are very plausible. As far as 1/2 mile Vmax...I doubt there is very little loss of traction. But the PDR has been wildly variable vs. Dragy or other Vbox data...but it has also been accurate at times. Just not a super reliable source.
Those times are likely on a specially prepared track surface. You could hear the car struggling for rear grip on acceleration throughout first gear as the TCS intervened. But still, sub-4 seconds to 60 and 11.4 in the 1/4mi with a completely stock car on some airfield in the middle of nowhere is quite impressive!
You deserve more Subs so many channels that have millions not even compare to you and your content keep it up it will pay off
Wow thank you! That means a lot!!
Great video but you really need to get a Dragy. The built in timer is completely inaccurate. With as big of a channel as you have you need to be using a Dragy. Results are irrelevant with the built in timer.
Thanks for all this great content on the C8 Z06 Austin. It's great to see you really putting the car through its paces.
This is my new (realistic) dream car… previously the C6 ZR1
That GT500 Cracked dat a$$. No excuses - those things are so fast. Nice runs though and thanks for sharing.
😆
Right!? OMG I don't care that he got the jump on the Z06 but that GT500 was flat out pulling away over 100mph.
Wonder what mods he had, that's was nasty!
The respect the Z06 though, such an amazing car😎👍
Z06 couldn’t reel back that GT500. Even after the jump it kept pulling away.
GT500 also sounds way better.
I believe that GT500 was listed at 800HP in the spec sheets.
That was also a very large jump lol..
Coolest car kid on youtube
I'm impressed. To give reference to these numbers I witnessed a 812 superfast run 160 in the 1/2 mile and my refrigerator...umm I mean my trackhawk with 905 wheel hp ran 161 mph. This is impressive for bone stock!
Praise be to the all mighty TrackHawk doe 🙌🙌🙌
I guess I feel better now knowing my old beater 17 ZL1 only runs 166 in the 1/2.😩
@@dansherwood9851 I'm sure it's bone stock too.... 😉
Well yeah, right down to the smaller pullied, headers, cai, tb, e60 and custom tune. Isn't that what everyone considers stock?😉 Hahaha.
Went boom at the last 1/2 mile so here in a few weeks we'll see what the ported sc Cam and other goodies get it to. All bone stock...
@@dansherwood9851 lol, all my cars are "stock" too... with that definition of stock. Love the ZL1, beast!
Started laughing when Austin decided to close his window at 80 mph. I guess he got cold?
734 lbs of downforce is the available number. 850 lbs of downforce for the 992.1 GT3(non RS) in it's max downforce settings. Also weave back and forth to warm up the tires like a race car before the start of a race, etc, ect.
thats now that works the tire compounds are way different its not the same as an f1 tire
I'm loving the Z06 videos. what an amazing car
🔥 Thanks for all the posts buddy! Loving all of this!
I really like the Z06 and would love to own one. I'm holding out hope that I may possibly be able to get once sometime next year. However, these are my takeaways. I've been calling it out over the underwhelming torque figures and this race against the GT500 confirmed my suspicions. The Z06 will NOT be a straight line monster. While one may argue that it never intended to be, I argue that it really should have all the boxes checked. You can't give away that much straight line performance and expect to be taken seriously. While the Porsche GT3 is similar to the Z06 in some respect it is extremely fast in a straight line. We're talking real world and not spec sheet brochure sales copy. Even in those cold conditions a GT3 would not have gotten walked that badly. I do think the Z06 will excel around small to mid-size race tracks which is why the presser took place at Pittsburgh International instead of Road America or VIR. Taking in consideration its lack of grunt and seeing how badly it got walked by that Mustang, I seriously doubt this is a sub 7 minute Nurburgring car. I predict that It may end up between 7:10-7:29 at the ring. Excluding the GT3 most of the cars killing it at the Ring are forced induction. Also, the gearing seems off with the Z06 especially in the higher gears. Race Teams will probably be playing around with that final drive gearing. Perhaps GM did this for emissions? I would have preferred for it to be forced induction similar to the C7 Z06. In that case I think it would have been a world beater right out the gate. GM benchmarked a 10 year old Ferrari 458 Italia and my gut feels as if it is too little too late. Still a hell of a car and I would love to have one in "Lipstick Red" or maybe "Panty-dropper Orange" just for the attention and the 'flavor of the week'. Even after the last 6 years, I still think the track car to have is the ZL1-1LE. Spend a weekend stripping down a ZL1 to bring the weight down to 3400lbs and add a cam plus Ethanol and there's pretty much nothing beating you on any given track day. Such a shame that GM never put the LT5 (ZR1) in the Alpha Chassis Camaro, but we know why this was done. With 100 less horsepower it is the only car right now keeping that GT500 honest on a closed circuit short of spending $200k. I just can't imagine spending $180k to get walked by a GT500, but my God is that Z06 beautiful. I call it the car of mixed emotions.
same 10.6s quarter mile time Z06 and gt500 what u talking about
@@jackd232 GT500 is just waking up at 130+mph. From there on it’s killing the Z06. Having the engine over the rear wheels makes the C8 great at launching. That’s inherent design and outside of that it really isn’t impressive. Throw some sandbags in the GT500 trunk to get weight over the wheels and it’s possibly not even close.
@@Turbo329 you talking like the GT500 is like a Civic Type R, that shit is not cheap at all, with mark ups now it's more expensive than a C8. GT500 is a Camaro ZL1-1LE rival but way more expensive and less capable on track.
@@jackd232 I’ve had the chance to play with a couple of GT500s on track this year and they are quite capable in spite of their heft. You can get non track pack versions for under $100k now and the full monty for around $125k. You’re still saving a ton of money over the Z06.
If I could get a spot for the Z06 I would definitely buy it. However, it’s definitely not the ‘World on Notice’ car that GM proclaimed it to be. A twin Turbo C8 would have most likely fit that bill.
@@Turbo329 I bet it's a monster on track. To your point money worth, zL1-1le is way way cheaper, and faster than GT500 on track. C8 is in the super car category, I don't think they really compares. I'm not trying to disrespect GT500, it's a crazy car from Ford. Hope Ford can bring the GT back and make it less expensive so it's a direct comparison to the Z06/ZR1
10:40 thanks for the rev. The sound OMG
Car is Freaking nuts! Glad your first series of videos is using the car correctly, not the stereotypical "*Straightpiping my xxxx*" or "*Worlds first Twin turbo kit*" after 1 day. loving the ZO6 Content dude!
Austin getting dusted on the strip by a GT500. That’s ok we’ll still watch your channel 😂
Why couldn’t you do a real burn out to heat the tires up?
I wanted to see you against that C7 z06 but of course no race 😂
Glad to see you having fun on your drive home with the Z06 and stopping to be the first to do these things and find out what it could do. To bad it was not warm enough out to see what it really could do. Can't wait to see what else you come up with. Call it baseline results. Enjoy your journey and stay safe. Thanks
Awesome! Once you get to the track this thing is going to be sweet!
You’re gonna have to pull the wrapper off of it sometime! If you plan to drive, it’s gonna get rock chips and bug splats but those aren’t necessarily blemishes, they’re proof that the owner understands that round tires mean they’re supposed to roll!
Track tape till he gets it to ppf
I was wondering how much the track wrap was adding to the drag numbers myself. I think he just wants to get the car home so he can have the entire car wrapped.
@@aza04a is PPF a wrap? How well will that protect from rock chips or anything but UV?
@@coryholbrook4643 it's typically a self healing film that helps but doesn't completely prevent rock chips
1st guy with real C8 ZO6 owner content! Great job! Thank you! Congrats!
Good video. Too many people think you are always getting absolute peak performance numbers all the time. This shows what you actually get in the real world in real conditions. In reality pulling off a 2.6 0-60 or 10.5 quarter is quite difficult.
Yeah, but I call BS
He was barely warming the tires up imo. I think he still could’ve gotten better times
@@tedpal5098 Emelia Hartford got a 10.5 1/4 mile and several publications have gotten 2.6 second 0 to 60 times...
@@istun85 He pulled both paddles and disengaged the clutches, then went wot wasn't much more he could do. With all the weight on the rear tires and that compound coupled with low torque it's not a burnout machine.
@@Viper3048 And she also turned in a 0 to 60 time of 2. 5 seconds
YOU ROCK
If i remember correctly. The GT500 ran 160 mph which was reflected on the timing signs that I don't recall being shown during these current runs. You never warmed the GT500 P2 tires, ran with your window down and had terrible digs in the GT500 spinning for a minimum of 60 '.These are not drag races. It's a 1/2 mile speed event. Mentioning the GT500 left early means nothing. The Z06 is a nice car with an expensive price. But time will tell how well it performs on the track,
Awesome footage as usual. The cold definitely was against you. 65-70 degrees would have been perfect temps for you. When you get back to Cali, I'm sure we will see amazing speeds out of it!
manual or garbage
@@ko7305 someone butthurt that an auto is faster?
@@ko7305 where's your Z06?
@@saltyfloridaman7163 Waiting for a mid engined manual to buy. You know, once these clowns get their heads out of their asses. Perhaps the upcoming viper if it is a mid engine manual.
@@ko7305 peak poor
Be safe happy healthy and enjoy your car and you're learning how to be better
For motorcycles we drop air pressure to heat tires faster. Then if outside temperature goes up, just add air to get desired temperature.
As tire temperature increases so does pressure.
Great meeting you, Austin! The car is awesome and I can't wait to see more!👍
It was great to meet you too!
It’s nice to know that when it is 40*F my 911 Carrera 4S is as fast as the 2023 Z06 😂. That Z06 is simply badass! Great spec
Congratulations Austin on getting this awesome car!! Can you please post the window sticker? I (and many people) would like to see the actual price of the options. Thanks 🎉
His delivery video said 185,000
@@jimsteinway695 He probably had a $50k markup included in that also..
I built it on the web and came out to $160K, so definitely it got a mark up.
Probably the best thing GM has made in a long time
Glad to see you back again with the zo6
What were your times , speed etc. on the first few runs? That blue car ate the C8 for lunch and so did the GT500
Thanks for sharing. Looked like you had fun.
Couple things, you lost me with the “stickiest tires you can buy” and the 2-3k hp Huracan. They aren’t and that’s some swing in hp lol.
Get some more seat time and get some drag radials on the car then won’t need to bench race. 🎉🎉
Love it!
Definately not the tires in cold Temps.
I drive year round in Northeast my C5z Magcharged, C6Z Eforce, C7Z and performance all season is the way to go in the cold.
I run Michelin Alpins in Winter!
So glad to see you having fun and making your way bud.
Those tires are sticky for track use corner carving but not for dragstrip use.
Notification Squad
Very nice Austin, congrats, please ping me when your 1st visit to San Clemente cars & coffee
Good stuff
Thank you!
Again I love your videos and again first viewer
Man the way the hurucan passes you it's like a speed glitch 😂
It shld since it was moded...
Like a video game haha!
It's over twice the price stock I believe. Then probably over 50k in mods. If speed is the ultimate goal in this case, 50k into this half priced Lambo would make it run like that Lambo. But I'd rather get a Kawasaki H2 Carbon and Mod and tune it for under 75k to go to the next adrenaline level. These modern machines are all to capable and I've been in a modded R8 like that Lambo that completely took the car adrenaline experience to the top level. Crazy stuff right here.
To estimate a faster 1/4 mile (not speed) you need to look at your 60 foot time. For every tenth you think you can take off that, it's usually two tenths off the 1/4 mile time. Also, on these 1/2 mile runs, top speed is usually the goal so a launch for the best time isn't important. Just a clean not excessive wheel spin launch is all you need. Top speed in a given distance is a product of power and time is irrelevant.
Thanks for posting, but I am really looking forward to your thoughts when you go to Laguna Seca. Like you said, "I love corners!" Ditto! I can't wait to get back to Road Atlanta!
Lets just call it test and tune and learn and break in.
Are you using the burnout mode correctly? Looks like it's holding the revs at around 3 or 4k. Gonna need higher to break tires loose.
Looking online says to put in DRIVE, hold brake, pull and hold both paddles, floor throttle then release both paddles.
burnout mode doesn't let you hold a burnout it only lets them break loose shortly for weather like that you need to either slide the car around or do a standing burnout even in the stingray when its wet out wont hold the burnout fully
@@yessuhyessuh2100 oh, well that's not a very good "burnout mode" if it prevents the tires from spinning too much lol
@@ALE5six1 its to protect the DCT
I just bought c8 loving it.
awesome stuff man!
Thank you!
Awesome dude! Glad your having fun! You are making peoples days with your journey across the country!
Thank you Stephen! You're too kind!
Mike Brink great dude did you see my note to you mentioning it would be cool for you to be interviewed in his channel, Rick Conti’s and Justin of Horse Power Obsessed
150-151 is good. My first gen V10 R8 6MT ran 144. My 2008 C6 Z06 640HP Lingenfelter ran 153. Performantes ran 151-154. So, this is on-par I would say. Like you said, this is not 1/2 mile car. It is a track car. The only thing I need to know is whether it is actually faster than my 2019 ZR1 around VIR.
So you been to that same half mile strip and you seen stock Lamborghini performantes run 154 mile an hour on this exact half mile location?
@@sonicloud7774 stock cars. They do not vary much at all. Especially naturally aspirated cars. The events that I am specifically referring to work in the winter time in Florida in Ocala. Temperatures were usually high 40s-low 50. And, please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this car. I have deposits down on both a coupe and a convertible.
No fair! I didn't get anything nearly this cool to play with when I was 12!
Still waiting for a curb weight, you can stop at any Cat Scale on your journey back home.
Yer on the internet. Look it up. I did.
@Glide1992 nah i wanna see real world weight.
You need to reach out to Emilia Hartford and get her launch settings. I noticed that in spite of the wheel spin, you're bogging big time at each launch. She figured out settings that made it launch like a rocket.
No lie . She was on a drag srip but 10.41 is what i saw
Thanks for the great information. Can't wait for my ZO6.
Proves what you can achieve.When you make the right choices and dream big . Love it.,
Thank you!!
The car is amazing
Emelia Hartford got some extra help from gm about a lot of those controls when she took the press car c8z to the track. you should watch her video on it or reach out to her to get her input.
It was nice to meet you at the event. Beautiful car
Thanks for the show 👍
It was great to meet you as well! Thank you!
SWEEEEEEET VIDEO there Speed!@ CONGRATS! 👏👏👏SOOOO GLLAD U DROVE ALLLL NIGHT TO GET TO 1500 MILES!!!
Thanks for the real word footage. Stop in Phoenix and see us 💯👍🏾😎
I've never seen a guy with a voice so high pitch. No matter he can't drive a sports car.
Corey Feldman back at it.
Man I would literally give ANYTHING just to take this car for a fun little spin around these roads here in upstate NY. Some of these roads here are perfect for a road course track. I've taken some really hard turns around here, followed by S turns and then a perfect execution of skill with cars that weren't half as powerful as this car, or as maneuverable as the cars that are around now. I should be driving for NASCAR or something.
The Z06/7 is freaking awesome but was super cool to see the GT500 smoke the Z06!!😜😎
Think the car needed someone that knew what they were doing to start with,,don't think the 500 would have faired as well.
Z07 package sucks for the straight lines.
There should be line lock on that car for you to easily do a standing burnout. If it’s like the C7 and 6th gen Camaros it’s in the same place in the gauge cluster menu as launch control.
C8 has no such option. Its impossible to light the rear tires up. Very ghey.
Even if it had a line lock I bet with all that weight over the rear tires it would just plow the front end. You would never get enough wheel speed to fry the tires and in turn the car would push through the brakes.
@@pro5.019 it has nearly 700 hp and the ground was cold it wouldve shredded the tires with line lock lmao
@@yessuhyessuh2100 If paid close attention to the video you would have noticed that after he let the paddles go the car barely hazed he tires and moved forward. There is no way line lock would have helped the situation. Furthermore the GM engineers stated they had tried a line lock and it failed, the car just plowed the front end.
Sounds so good!
What's your elevation? Higher altitudes really hurt a naturally aspirated V8
Good stuff Austin. But I think you should have bought a black basic wing from stock package. So you can change it up and run quarter mile and half mile digs without the big wing as drag. I think it's the same type of package on the back as the Mustangs. Were the wing bolts up on the deck lid, there should be a couple of bolts where the wing bolts up to. You could probably Bolt the stock wing in the same spot. That would probably give you maybe another 10-20 mph. How did it feel digging out of the hole. Could you have turned the launch control up to like 5 grand or more and use the stock slip or give it more dig with more percentage? Otherwise dude good stuff bro thanks a lot well appreciated!
I don't care how fast it goes... All I care about is the sound of that engine at full song... K? 💣⚡💥
Sounds insane!
@@SpeedPhenom It is a mechanical symphony to my ears... Many say: "Enjoy the ride...", and with that car, you get to enjoy the ride with a soundtrack to go with it. 👍👍
@@SpeedPhenom I think your GT 350R sounded better but perhaps I’m a little biased🤷♂️
Z07 package kills the top end. Great on a road course but not straight line. Thanks for the vid.
Nice job. Does the car have a line lock or some way to heat up the tires.?
Great video!! On a side note you can also warm up the tires with hard braking.
Damn damn. That was awesome
It was!
Did you pass the 1500 miles before you got to track? Was hoping you got those tires warm enough to get pass that 160mph and closer to that 2.6 in 60
Of course! I think in Cali we will see some good results with the weather!
I think you could have decreased your RPM at launch and improved a bit as well, I can also hear the motor bogging initially
At 5:28 a guy said GM copied ford with this motor 😂😂
Amazing to see you and your car this weekend. Congratulations!
There's wayy more exciting ways to warm up your tires, but if you really wanna use launch control to do it you need more slip, not just higher RPMs. Your traction control was probably what was killing your launches. You can also get a little heat into them by moving the car side to side like you see formula 1 drivers do. Would love to see you run it again on a prepped surface with some warmer weather after you figure out the launch control!
Great video again Austin, can't wait to see you drag racing other super cars that are bone stock.
Thank you! I think the Z was the only stock car there haha! Still did a great job for driving across country!
@@SpeedPhenom 👍
Wow so interesting to see. Thought you would want more miles on it before doing speed runs. In F1 racing they have heated covers, perhaps you could get some for the rears and that would make the difference?
Interesting thought! I've seen tire heaters at the racetrack before... they seem to do the job great!!
Fun to watch…thanks for sharing. Wonder how variables such as tire pressure and ambient temp would effect your trap speeds in the 1/2. Cold air is great for power but not for traction as we saw. However in the 1/2 mile I’d think the launch isn’t as critical as in say a 1/8 or 1/4 event
What a dream machine ❤ 🔥 🔥
Good job man I got a 2000 with a 1000 horsepower and it doesn't do brother good job beautiful car
Very nice Austin! Thank you. One comment, if I may…
Don’t use launch control for a burnout… use same settings as if launching, but don’t step on the brake… just floor it! It works for my C8 Stingray. 🙂
Not a prepped track to unleash the "Red Rocket " for best time
I bet you can't wait to do Ron Fellows. Of course with their cars of course.
I would like to see a 1/4 mile race between a stock C7 Z06 and the C8 Z06.
Let's see the half mile with the C7 ZO6.
On a well prepared track...The C8 Z wins every time.
@@bricebarefoot3437 the mid engine, dct, and extra 20 hp will win every time of the day prepped, non prepped, and with cold tires there is no comparison
Mid engine is way better. That's why the C8 Stingray with the right packages beats a c7 zo6 0 to 60. I have a c7 grand sport and I'm pushing a little over 700hp with mods and it's terrible to hook up
The most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Good luck car looks great. I have 21 stingray non z51 my first Vet got it when I retired luv it drive it everyday. Love your channel keep up the good work and information
Speed Phenom Awesome Video I think it's awesome that your C8 Z06 Z07 went 154 MPH in the 1/2 Mile and I can't wait to see what it can do with Warm Tires on a Drag Strip
Thanks Josh!
@@SpeedPhenom of course Austin
I have a feeling you have probably already mentioned this, but what is the plastic? film on the front, and when do you think you'll remove it? Thanks, and keep the great content coming!
Removing it as soon as I reach Cali! It protects paint and will come right off for ppf!
Yo, I can’t believe I missed you. I walked right past you. But I think I have some footage of your car as well
Haha so cool! Sorry we missed eachother!
Hopefully I can see you and we can talk I had a lot of questions for you.
