Same man I want one so so bad but they went up so so so so much!! so I'm either going with a mustang or a Camaro next year. Just the look and sound of these beasts. Just something about the all American Corvette look, best looking modern muscle car tbh. It's a perfect blend of old and new. It's a timeless design.
Have my one now for over 10 years and i still love it a lot. The sound with a b&b fusion exhaust when you go through the gears on the german autobahn full throttle. Holy moly that thing screams like a race car. Absolute awesomeness.
Bought my 2012 Inferno Orange Metallic convertible GS C6 three years ago when I turned 65.. has the mag ride and dual exhaust. Had motorcycles until the Vette, so my midlife crisis just a way of continuing to having some fun. Last year had it supercharged with a Vortex unit, full headers, and tune. Now I have more power than a ZR1, yet have a convertible for those nice days. 345s in the rear and she's a handful when your in it.. it's just a damn fun car! To me the C6 is just a classy chassis... enjoyed your video!
So I think the C7 looks cooler, but that’s because they look more like a super car. The C6 still looked a lot more like a corvette. I love them both though.
I use my C6 Z06 as a weapon on the Nordschleife, built LS7 and Öhlins TTX chassi, Porsches are rounding bois... I love it and wouldn't have anything else.
@@matthewlong8865 no, I will get another C6 Grand Sport, LS3 meater block ready for boost. Targa top, same brakes, more forgiving suspension. Being manual transmission, the engine is hand built. Only manual transmissions GS
@@matthewlong8865 well if you want the car for track days, the Z06 is what you need, you can get 600 + horsepower NA. Lighter chassis. Yes I have driven a Z06 before. Awesome car there is no better bang for your buck than a Z06.
As a proud owner of a velocity yellow 08' Z06 I will agree its an amazing car and value-wise really nothing comes close. I've owned 2 Z51 C6's and one GrandSport before I jumped to the Z06 and my only regret is that I didn't make the switch sooner. That LS7 just screams and revs so much quicker than the LS2 or LS3 and the extra power and reduced weight really make a difference.
As much as I would love the raw power of a 427 I gotta say I love having a removable roof. That's my only gripe with the Z06, I understand why they did it but still makes me sad lol. The Vortech Ti-Trim on my base model will have to suffice for now ;-)
I have always loved and wanted a Corvette and it took me 58 years but I just purchased a cammed 2005 C6 in Daytona Orange that was dyno tuned with 464 horse power at the wheels! I personally think the C6 is the best looking and absolutely love mine! Great review!
I know these are fighting words but I love my C6Z. So much more planted than my 2013 mustang GT was. It’s such a purpose built track monster and it’s so amazing how it hooks on the drag strip. Even on the run flats, first time ever on a drag strip and as long as I kept it straight and worked the clutch decently the car just pulls and pulls and hooks.
@@RandomlnternetGuy yeah but the C7 is just so fucking exotic and aggressive looking, i think its awesome. I like the C6 a lot but Im glad they did a more aggressive change with the C7. The C6 looked a little too much like the C5, just without the flipup headlights.
Only thing the c7 has over the c6 is modern technology/interior. But those are relatively easy to fix with the money saved on not buying a brand new car.
@@elitewarrior0076 I think that's the charm though, a mix of classic and old but looks beautiful. I think the c7 is a beauty in its own respect though.
Yea that’s a big mistake. You should have put a nice exhaust like a borla atak or something. Plus this car gets 31 mph while making 500+ hp. How insane is that lol
The c6 across the trim line is my favorite car. It offers awesome looks, performance, sound, and good reliability that is hard to match for the dollar.
Hey David. My dad bought a 2007 Shelby GT500. Your review of that car definitely helped seal the deal. This is his first mustang and he is so excited. PS. Great video. Keep it up.
I've been hardcore Honda for decades but the newer stuff they're producing over the past 20 years just doesn't make me think, "I need one of those". The Corvette has been beckoning me for a few years now. Thanks for the video, great job.
My dreamcar for sure! One small problem...I live in the Netherlands. Super rare car. Prices for an old C06 start at $50K. Taxes, insurence and gass prices are crazy high. But still I would love to own C6 ZO6 one day
This was my car. Og engine dropped a valve as they were known for. To be fair this new engine was bored, sleeved and stroked to a 427ci. So it was still a 7.0 technically lol
I've always loved Z06's I started with a C-5 coupe (auto) then I bought 2 C-5 Z06 and modded them tastefully. Then the C-6 Z06 came out and I fell in love with that one, I currently have a 07 Z06 with extremely low miles that I have kept unmolested and it puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. Best bang for the buck without a doubt, in fact it has appreciated since I bought it. love it!!!
I have owned many cars...and driven just about everything. I now have a H/C/I c6 Z06. All Texas speed equipment. Long tubes, Corsa Extremes. Lowered on C7 z06 Wheels. The car is just nasty. 640 whp, 3,000LBS. For the money, nothing can touch it.
There is no better car, performance wise, for the money. Love the c6 z06. Still one of my favorite cars that I've driven. Keep up the great work David!
This is the highest HP Vette ever made that I am aware of that is naturally aspirated and paired with a true manual transmission. THIS car is truly special and GM may never make anything like it ever again. I expect to see these cars going for over $100k used market in about 10 years. .....and sure as $H_T sounds a whole lot better than the c8.
Absolute best competition would be a C63 AMG. A bit heavier but big displacement, tons of torque, floats in the top end, and handles like a dream. I've seen used C63s going for 20-30k.
I have a '13 427 vert and love the transmission/shifter/clutch setup on it (once I changed out the crap GM master cylinder). I keep thinking about modding it with maybe a H/C/I setup but every time I drive it I think I'm reminded of how nearly perfect it is stock. If I want crazy/stupid, I just get in my 570rwhp Cobra Termie.
You can get 700 plus HP out of a built LS7. I did it to mine for $8500, all Texas speed parts and it fixes the valve problem. I also get 20MPG and it’s an absolute monster.
I have one of these cars for the last 10 years, finally two years ago we bought a 2008 Z06 with a vengeance package. The car is everything I thought it would be and I had never driven one before.
Great video as always! Dude you should also make a video on a c5 z06. Only c5 video you have it’s an automatic. I would lend you mine if I weren’t apocalyptically far. Mine has a 383 stroker with a procharger. It’s nice.
@Omar Magana damn, that's expensive You could get a really high spec BMW M3 or M4 here for that, or an M5 Cars don't depreciate as much over there in the states, do they?
@@nickadkins7765 BMWs depreciate a lot here too, E92 M3s which were over £50k new can be had for £10-15k now. And the main issues they have (connecting rod bearings etc) are down to driver neglect, where the vehicle is driven from cold etc. Admittedly they're not perfect, but when you're squeezing a lot of power from a relatively small displacement, it's gonna happen sometimes :/
Damn you !!! I just bought a 2003 50th anniversary z06 today !! I have always liked them , like the fixed roof ..Your video pushed me to do it . For the money I think it’s a home run . Waiting for delivery...Probably take a week and half to get it .
I owned an '08 ZO6 Limited Edition... which I just sold, so that I can order the '23 Z06... I LOVED the car! SO much torque... amazing! Only downside were the seats! Not much lateral support for the track. Other than that, a totally AWESOME car!!👍👍
I've been in a C6 Z06 once. It belonged to a friend with a nice little stable. He also had a Lamborghini Gallardo, which was nowhere near as fast or as fun as his Z06. The Vette was chipped and pushing over 600hp. We drove it at Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan. We (allegedly) smoked multiple Vipers and many other V8 bruisers whilst driving up and down Woodward. Every one of them was pissed off and dumbfounded. The C6 is incredibly underrated, especially with a couple thousand $$ in upgrades.
I've got an 2006 Nissan 350Z auto with 70K - It's in super nice condition and I've gone through with a fine tooth comb. I've really thought of supercharging which would take from 287hp to 412hp. The SC kit is over 7K and that would put well over 20K invested in the car including purchase price(7,600.00) I really like the C6, so I'm on the fence of selling the 350Z before I get too much deeper in it and just buying a C6 Z06.
Sweet, my son had a built 08 Z06, I was in that car at ooo mph, and it had more. He has moved on to a C7 Z06, me I'm happy with my 1990 ZR-1. 👍👍🏁🏁 The apple don't fall far from the tree, we are going to drive the dragons tail and blue Ridge Parkway together, a little father son time. My ZR-1 is going to spank that C7 Z06, lol. 😳😁🤔. We be a vette family!!
Iv always loved the c6 zo6 for it rawness from the driving experience and the badass look of the car and exhaust not nothing beats it not the c7 or c8 look like toys on the street but when c6 is behind you it’s gona give you s smile
When I was in the market, I was convinced I wanted a z06, then read about all the head issues... ended test driving a grand sport and walked away with it. It’s got everything I wanted, and more than enough power, plus the removable top that can’t be had on a z06.
Same the z06 is overrated compared to the grandsport. stock for stock obviously the z06 gets it but you mod the ls3 and you have the same car with no ls7 issues.
C6 generation 997 generation Current GTR generation, lol Even some Mercedes and BMW of that time... (the f80 was dope!...), All modern classics IMO. A definite high point! While the Corvette has gotten better, it isn't more desirable (expect for maybe the c8, we'll see); same with Porsche. The 997 is the last desirable modern/water cooled Porsche imo. I think we'll look back at these car fondly in the next 10 to 20 years.
I’m hunting for a c6 z06 currently., I think it’s the best bang for your money, power to weight is better than cars twice the price of most of the z06s in my area, plus it’s just a good lookin car!
Oh my goodness that thing sounds good! I had an '08 Z in Machine Silver which I traded last year. This video makes me want to snag another C6Z one day. What a sick car!
David, could you please please do a video back to back comparison of the C6 vs C7 Z’s!! Would love to hear your thoughts after driving both so close together! Great content, keep it up!
I agree..........smog legal performance bang for the buck in CA. If I lived by a horsepower track I'd want a C7 ZR1 manual with extreme aero. But a mildly tuned one is plenty for our tracks in CA. Put a roll bar, seats and harnesses in it and go TT.
I seen a 2012 LS7 ZO6 at the Used car lot, stopped in for a test drive just to see what all the hype was about, and till this day it was the Fastest STOCK car I've driven yet! That 427 is Just Sexy! And I'm a Ford guy ALL THE WAY Too !
That is why i have a black 2002 Ford lightning and a yellow 07 C6Z06 I roll raced my own lightning ( my buddy driving)with my C6Z06 and left my lightning like a road runner But i still love my lightning C6Z06 is a serious car and demand lots of respect
Have C5, C6, C7. Waiting on C8. Love my C6. Upgraded it. Cam, long headers, x pipe, exhaust, CAI, lvl 5 racing trans, etc. 550 crank, tuned dwn to 510 at wheels. Super fun to drive, and a fraction of the cost. Much better than C5 by far. Like C7 marginally better.
Owned a 2006 Z06 for two years. Beautiful car the C6 Z06 is the best looking corvette. Unless you’re going fast it’s not a great place to spend a lot of time. Really Noisy powertrain, numb steering, stiff suspension, and the t56 is not a smooth gearbox but if I had the means to keep it just to look at it and drive it occasionally I definitely would have. If you can get a newer C6 Z06 with the magnetic ride and the tr6060. I know it’s heavier but if you want to put miles on it, they’re the ones to get.
Best rival for a Corvette C6 in this price range? GO.

The SC kit is over 7K and that would put well over 20K invested in the car including purchase price(7,600.00) I really like the C6, so I'm on the fence of selling the 350Z before I get too much deeper in it and just buying a C6 Z06.
For sure the c6z06 is a blast. Had the heads done since then 0 problems in three years. Track the car all over Cali. Just a awesome car.
Sweet, my son had a built 08 Z06, I was in that car at ooo mph, and it had more. He has moved on to a C7 Z06, me I'm happy with my 1990 ZR-1. 👍👍🏁🏁
The apple don't fall far from the tree, we are going to drive the dragons tail and blue Ridge Parkway together, a little father son time. My ZR-1 is going to spank that C7 Z06, lol. 😳😁🤔. We be a vette family!!
Iv always loved the c6 zo6 for it rawness from the driving experience and the badass look of the car and exhaust not nothing beats it not the c7 or c8 look like toys on the street but when c6 is behind you it’s gona give you s smile
Bang for buck c5 and c6 are kind of slept on. Id rock one. Used to have a z06 c5 but sold it for truck. Looking to reup now.
the c6 z06 is the nastiest all motor car GM has ever made. Exactly why I bought one.
When I was in the market, I was convinced I wanted a z06, then read about all the head issues... ended test driving a grand sport and walked away with it. It’s got everything I wanted, and more than enough power, plus the removable top that can’t be had on a z06.
Same the z06 is overrated compared to the grandsport. stock for stock obviously the z06 gets it but you mod the ls3 and you have the same car with no ls7 issues.
C6 generation
997 generation
Current GTR generation, lol
Even some Mercedes and BMW of that time... (the f80 was dope!...),
All modern classics IMO. A definite high point! While the Corvette has gotten better, it isn't more desirable (expect for maybe the c8, we'll see); same with Porsche. The 997 is the last desirable modern/water cooled Porsche imo. I think we'll look back at these car fondly in the next 10 to 20 years.
I’m hunting for a c6 z06 currently., I think it’s the best bang for your money, power to weight is better than cars twice the price of most of the z06s in my area, plus it’s just a good lookin car!
I can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed to him . I’ve watched almost every video
Oh my goodness that thing sounds good! I had an '08 Z in Machine Silver which I traded last year. This video makes me want to snag another C6Z one day. What a sick car!
One of the best sports cars for the value.
Thanks for the review!
Mannn, what a glorious sound ! Best sounding V8
I would have to dissagree that tahoe at 5:56 Has it beat
David, could you please please do a video back to back comparison of the C6 vs C7 Z’s!! Would love to hear your thoughts after driving both so close together! Great content, keep it up!
The c5/c6 corvette will always be my favorite
I agree..........smog legal performance bang for the buck in CA. If I lived by a horsepower track I'd want a C7 ZR1 manual with extreme aero. But a mildly tuned one is plenty for our tracks in CA. Put a roll bar, seats and harnesses in it and go TT.
Also getting Heads done on my C6 Z06
The proportions of the c6 are just so right. I always loved them
I’ve been waiting for another c6 review. Hell yeah!!
i’m not entirely a fan of most american cars but this reigns supreme for me one of my favorite cars ever.
It's still one of the best Corvette's ever made!
I seen a 2012 LS7 ZO6 at the Used car lot, stopped in for a test drive just to see what all the hype was about, and till this day it was the Fastest STOCK car I've driven yet! That 427 is Just Sexy! And I'm a Ford guy ALL THE WAY Too !
That is why i have a black 2002 Ford lightning and a yellow 07 C6Z06
I roll raced my own lightning ( my buddy driving)with my C6Z06 and left my lightning like a road runner
But i still love my lightning
C6Z06 is a serious car and demand lots of respect
Bargain can be disputed u need to include a fix for the valve problem that LS7 have.
Beautiful! Love the video as always
Have C5, C6, C7. Waiting on C8. Love my C6. Upgraded it. Cam, long headers, x pipe, exhaust, CAI, lvl 5 racing trans, etc. 550 crank, tuned dwn to 510 at wheels. Super fun to drive, and a fraction of the cost. Much better than C5 by far. Like C7 marginally better.
My Dream Car Ls3, Ls7 🔥🔥🔥
Owned a 2006 Z06 for two years. Beautiful car the C6 Z06 is the best looking corvette. Unless you’re going fast it’s not a great place to spend a lot of time. Really Noisy powertrain, numb steering, stiff suspension, and the t56 is not a smooth gearbox but if I had the means to keep it just to look at it and drive it occasionally I definitely would have. If you can get a newer C6 Z06 with the magnetic ride and the tr6060. I know it’s heavier but if you want to put miles on it, they’re the ones to get.
Agree, the C6 Z06, is totally unabashedly screaming awesome.
Corvettes my dream car. My two favs c6 z06/zr1 and c7 grand sport/zr1.
