The base corvette also has full three piece air dam under the car. Z51, GS, & Z06 are missing the middle piece. It lets more air under car to cool oil, brakes, & rear differential.
Appreciate the info!
Great explanation as I'm in learning mode. I just bought a 2014 C7 Z51 2LT from Jerry's Chevrolet in Burleson. 13,600 miles and in mint condition. My first vet ever at the age of 59. Torch Red with Kalahari leather. Definitely have to get use to driving something so low to the ground.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching! 💯
Enjoy! 51, Northern California 2014 Z51 Stingray!
@@romie7054Heck yeah, i'm 22 and got me a 2014 Z51 as well
The Z51 performance package doesn't come with magnetic ride control (MRC), it is a separate option. The way to know if a C7 has (MRC) - look at the top of the shock absorber, if you see a wire harness it has (MRC), if not then it doesn't.
Yes I realized that after making the video but thanks!
Magnetic Ride Control does come on Z51 i have 2014 premier edition 477/500 i have the build sheet and it does come with (MRC) my car was built for Export so maybe thats why
The first new option is the ZF1 Appearance package, which adds the body colored spoiler and the split spoke rims of the Z51 package.
Yeah I covered that in the video at some point, right on!
When you point at 17:43 you're not pointing at the oil fill cap. You're pointing at the coolant overflow reservoir. The oil fill cap is a few inches to the left and has the "DEXOS" and "SAE 5W-30" wording on it.
Lol
So happy I got a Grandsport c7 2017 Model love the added wide body and the wheels
Wish I had a widebody 😞
Do the GS come with the Z51 package?
New c7 owner, thanks for the content. New sub
Thanks for the sub!
As a new corvette fan. Never owned one. Just love the c7. It looks awesome. These vids help. I have no clue about options on these. Thanks
No problem glad I could be of some assistance.
Thats a clean stingray there. They look soo much better with the aero and Z06 grill swap.
Appreciate it 🙏
You mentioned the words, "Track Focused, " which explains the Z51 package. If you never expect to track your car all these things do is create expensive things to repair if they fail. They have no value for street use.
Valid but sometimes people want it anyway
Mag-ride or magnetic select ride control (MSRC) is an additional $2k option that is only available for the Z51. It must come with the car at the time of manufacture and cannot be retrofitted, because it ties in to the computer. It works by using a piston containing feromagnetic fluid which changes viscocity/density continuously based on the current that is passed through it, which as you mentioned is controlled by the driving modes. Your Z51 does NOT have this option, because it does not have the cable coming out the top of the suspension (it's also a different color). A Z51 without MSRC is stiffer all around than the base suspension, but the Z51 with MSRC is softer in Touring mode and stiffer in Sport and even more in Track than base. Not sure if Z51 with MSRC in Track is stiffer than stock Z51, my guess is probably. Unfortunately, only about 20% of people ordering a Z51 opted for MSRC, which is a shame for anyone commuting on one, who has bad bumpy roads, or is trying to find one like me.
Thanks for the information 👍
It was only available with Z51 (vs base) for 14 & 15, I believe. 16 and later it was a separate option and RPO code without Z51.
I have a 2015 z51 without mrc and honestly it rides fine for me even on long trips. Just ditch the run flat tires and it's smooth enough for the daily, no problemo. I had mrc on my c6 and really never used it.
Bro. Everything you said was i believe or i think…. If you’re gonna make a video at least be sure.. nice ride though.
🙏
Blessed to own a Corvette; thank you for the content; take care !
Thanks for watching!
I’m looking to buy my first. This content helps greatly.
Thanks for your content very well said on everything when you said owning a Corvette Stingray
Thanks for watching!
SA represent! Awesome video!
Thanks man! 💯
Congrats on your upgrades on the car. You’ve done it tastefully. Looks good interior and exterior. Costly but definitely an improvement over stock components.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
@@TheRogueVettetrue if I could configurate a vette i would do it exactly the same
@kampfstarkerrichter6676 that means alot!
Very good video my guy!
Appreciate it!
Great video,love the car,the C7s are the last real corvettes in my opinion. Im considering getting one,how much are those particular tires for the whole set of 4?
If I remember the total cost of all 4 was around 2k, mounted and balanced and with warranty through discount tire.
What is that rear spoiler called and where did you get it from? I did a C5 Z06 in your same red and black theme. When I get mine sold I am buying a C7 and would like to do the same.
It was a stage 2 c7 z06 rear spoiler from Extremeonlinestore.com
@@TheRogueVette thank you. I put a black spoiler on my red C5 by myself. That one looks a bit more involved.
honestly I'd just get the ZO6 if I could do it all over again.. A pulley upgrade some supporting modes and you're 700 hp + in a Z0. You'll spend twice that to get a Z51 there.
💯
Base stingray vents are non functional.
Figured that out! Thanks!
Drivers side is on auto.
Where did you get your front lip an sideskirt from ?
Extremeonlinestore.com
Base rear vents not functional. Z51 have only summer tires. 2019 base have 19 frt and 20 rear.
👍
Driver side vent on auto trans is functional on base Stingray.
Damn how'd you clean those rims and calipers??!?😮
With my own blood, sweat and tears lol
where did you get all the interior carbon fiber trim from?
Amazon, I typed in C7 Carbon Fiber trim
Gd info thx new sub
Glad I could be of some help! Appreciate you!
Bad ass!!!!!!
Thanks for watching
Good job
Thanks!
My 14 is just like yours in and out wheels & all except convertible & without the vents behind the door handles and a 7 speed on the floor it was advertised as a z51 but doesn’t say on the Owners Manuel so still not sure
If it has a dry sump oil system it is a z51, you will know its a z51 because the oil fill cap will be on the passenger side by the air cabin filter, not on the driver side valve cover.
@@TheRogueVette Z51 It is Thanks so much for the intel!
@@briangardner758 no problem!
Base model vents do not function
Yep figured that out, but thanks.
The driver side vent is functional on automatic base c7. The vents aren’t functional on manuals
So the z51 is for the stingray model & the zo7 is for the zo6 model? What about the transport model?
A Z51 is a performance package that you can basically get in the base stingray version of the car. The Z07 is a trim level on the Z06, the grand sport is a higher model then the z51 or base stingray, it will have 1LT, 2LT OR 3LT for trim levels.
zr1>z06>z51>base
👍🏽
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Where is your stingray badges on the sides?
Took em off, like the cleaner look without them, my preference
How do u get the black stripe on the hood. Is that a hood piece or is that just paint?
It's a decal you apply to the hood
th-cam.com/video/HkqNEvjSmbw/w-d-xo.html
Oh ok. I thought you had to have it painted on there
Do they use the decal from the factory or is that one painted on
I saw the auto and figured, it must be your wifes car or possibly, "significant other". Just kidding.
😂
Hi what is the operator water tempThanks
I think it's around 220
Z-51 by a long shot!
Z51!
Z51 460 HP
Base 455 HP
You are correct!
Unless you get the upgraded exhausts
No vents on non Z51 are NOT functional.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Buy a base and upgrade as you like; alot cheaper than the Dealership charges---
👍🏼
2017,2018,2019 even the base has the same 19 and 20 inch wheels and same tires
I have a 2018 base that has the same wheels and tires but no spoiler at all
👍
@@TheRogueVette it’s all so confusing to be honest…I also learned the base has no launch control 🤷🏽♂️
