I’ve owned plenty of c6 vettes. Tint the windshield. Helps a ton. Even 50-70% ceramic helps a ton cooling the car down. Get a windshield sun shade to protect the dash from peeling up. Also the tunnel gets super hot. The cup holders are like cup warmers just from the exhaust traveling through the center tunnel. They’ll melt a candy bar they get that hot lol Otherwise they’re awesome cars. I love my c6 over all the other generations and I’ve driven them all. Congrats on the buy you’ll love it.
@@Adam_S281 lol that’s why I said 50-70. You barely notice it’s there and it cuts down a ton on the glare and heat while not hurting visibility much at night. Ppl who go like 15-35 on the windshield are nuts. It looks good but you can’t see shit at night lol.
I used to work at a tint shop and can verify this post. Some people think the sun strip on the windshield is enough. WRONG. Any window that does not have tint is letting the suns heat into the car. Every window needs to be tinted. And yes, you want CERAMIC tint, specifically ask for ceramic. Ceramic helps to block the heat from passing thru the film. My recommendation: 50% on windshield, 20% on front side windows, and 5% on all the back windows behind the driver/passenger. I dont recommend 5% on the front 2 windows unless you are experienced driving with tint, or unless you want maximum privacy. Driving at night with the front 2 at 5% can be extremely dangerous to see out of, other cars to the side of you, making turns, or seeing pedestrians.
Awesome Alex, me and my buddy flew to Maryland over the weekend to pick up his 22' gt 5.0 Premium PP and drove it back 10 hours to Detroit. Goid content !
Since your a TH-camr, now you need to do a 5 things I hate about my ZR-1 lol! maybe have Yolodouchebag give it a review hahahaha congrats on the amazing purchase. Well deserved.
Congrats on the zr1 Alex! I have a c6 zo6 and the trans tunnel getting hot is just a c6 thing. Yes no phones in the center console and only drink you put in the cup holders is coffee so it will stay hot lol. Can’t wait to see the videos coming up on the car.
I lined the inside of my C6Z tunnel with heat shield it helps and I'm in Phoenix so... one thing great is this car has the best fastest cooling AC I've ever had in any vehicle
They have heat kits for the center console. Had one in my C6 and helps ALOT. Do a couple pulls and put your hand between the seat and tunnel,lol. They also have a kit for the torque tube plate. The plate sits between the exhaust and torque tube underneath you. They have heat blankets for that which pretty much elimate the problem all together.
Congrats 👏 👏 on the KING DADDY purchase!! Way to show everyone how your focus determines your reality. One of the best out of three corvettes , in my opinion. 63' split window gen 3, your KING DADDY BLUE and the New C8. Keep the content rolling!! Coining the name "CYBER DEVIL" just putting it out there. Since the color looks to be cyber grey metallic.
Bro that's a long drive but funny thing is I just did the Same thing a few days ago except I drove there and back...I picked up a c5 down in Miami and drove it back to Maryland..was about 1,100 miles and 17 hour drive..I love that damn car😎👍🏽
Zr1 🤤! Congrats Alex 💯. Dam your car line up is stupid 🔥 🔥 definitely goals. Zr1, turbo yote, awd truck , gt500 , racecar (fairmont) .. I work at Chevy lmk if u ever need OEM parts or GM aftermarket ADD-ons lol I got you on employee cost . Congrats again
Proud of you Alex! Doing big things and seeing you progress from all the hard work paying off is badass. Now get your merch out bicho. We need some ydbt and tony shirts
Just noticed something, on your Timelapse when it says you are in Virginia you are actually in NC. You were riding through my home town. Awesome car and awesome video though!
Ive seen clear tint for a lack of a better word that supposedly reflects a lot of heat and UV rays maybe a suggestion for the front windshield to keep the dash cool
Congrats on the new car Alex. I am curious why you don’t like MGW shifters design ? Are you referring to their Corvette shifters or all MGW shifters in general?
glad you like the c6 platform i went from a s550 to c6 because of the coyote cam phasers and transmission taking a dump with only 5k miles and i enjoy my grandsport alot more
what a car !! I'm new to the CHEVY family, but daily my 2010 Camaro 2SS 6MT. Save for the throttle response( lack of it, lol) I love everything about it !
Congrats man! I made the move a bit ago too, and while not a zr1, it is a whole different beast than a Mustang. These are such well balanced cars! You will enjoy it
I drove up to Philly from SC to buy my ZR1 earlier this year. Never sat in a c6 or any corvette before. Opened the door and you literally have to roll into these things. Drove it back 700 miles to SC all while getting 22MPG. Never see myself getting rid of it.
It is one of the most badass vettes ever but I wouldn't say he's never gonna wanna drive a mustang again he has some badass mustangs. That gt500 is a monster.
@@Jimmyxsx I'm not saying it isn't. But to say he won't even want to drive his mustangs anymore is a bit of a stretch imo. They're totally different cars built to go fast totally different ways.
Awesome car; awesome video. I'm on the hunt for a C6 myself. The Zr1 is a bit too rich for my blood, but the Z06 is a perfect consolation prize for me. Soon as I get this mustang ready to sell, I'm making moves.
Congrats Alex!!!! Beautiful car!!! Hey polarized sun glasses helps tons with the glare. Also, some ceramic tint on the windshield can reduce the heat in the dash.
Congrats man! You freaking did it. I've been a long time follower and have heard you saying its the king daddy for the longest time. I'm really happy for you and excited to see new content for what is also my favorite corvette. Greetings from PR!

This comment makes me remember an absolute epic rant Alex had on people who tint their cars and windshield 😂😂

Or get decent polarized sun glasses, they work amazing!
Definitely will notice a BIG difference with the ceramic tint. Worth the extra price

Hot coffee it is.

So happy for you Alex. Absolute bad ass car. Been watching you since 2017
Glad that you joined the club. I have a Saleen & an ‘09’ ZR1 myself and I love them both.
Congratulations! So awesome to see a zr1on the channel!
Congrats brothers. I recently sold my A10 for a 2017 c7 z06 and man I’ll say it’s the best decision I ever made

Congratulations on joining the vette fam! It’s a whole different style of driving from driving mustangs but totally worth it
Should ceramic tint the front windshield to keep the heat temps down
Badass Zr1 man, congrats. I have C7 stingray but I'm mesmerized by C6 curves. Zr1 is my dream car. Maybe one day
Yeah, this car is a major W… Legit dream car for many. Congrats 💪🏼💪🏼
Definitely get a dash cover cuts down on the glare and protects the dash. Also polarized sunglasses help a lot
Thanks for the motivation I’d also like to own a c6zr1 in the future. Amazing color and great find, enjoy your ride sir 🤘🏽
BROTHER!!! I’m so happy for you man, you earned this beauty
Congrats Alex, your living the dream big dog, you earned it..

Front windshield tint will work with the sun beaming the front windshield
My favorite C6 color also! Congrats Alex!
Wow I’ve been waiting for this
Shesshh congrats brother will see how this build turns out 💪🔥
Bro that's a long drive but funny thing is I just did the Same thing a few days ago except I drove there and back...I picked up a c5 down in Miami and drove it back to Maryland..was about 1,100 miles and 17 hour drive..I love that damn car😎👍🏽
Holy shit, Hell froze over and our boy Alex got something with an LS.
You need a dash mat and the Natika backup camera from Amazon.
Sweet! I've always fancied the C7s and probably be the only Vette I'd see myself in.
Very happy for you! Gonna miss My C6 Z06 when it’s gone here soon, these cars are totally different animals. Congrats!
Awesome addition to the channel, I love the C6 cars! Do yourself a favor and throw some 50-55% tint on that windshield 👍
Dang man. You were in my neighborhood. Glad you got the car you wanted! I look forward to more vids.
The zr1 and z06 are my favorite c6 corvettes. Glad you got one.
I have owned a lot of mustangs 92 years ago rengade classed 2018 and have a 2022 now. I purchased a 09 c6 and absolutely love it. I’m 6.5 and fit ok
That gas station you stopped at in VA was right where I grew up in toms Brook!
Super pumped for ZR1 content!!
Zr1 🤤! Congrats Alex 💯. Dam your car line up is stupid 🔥 🔥 definitely goals. Zr1, turbo yote, awd truck , gt500 , racecar (fairmont) .. I work at Chevy lmk if u ever need OEM parts or GM aftermarket ADD-ons lol I got you on employee cost . Congrats again
Congrats on the purchase. And you are right the song in the IG did suck!!! Again congrats!!!
Damn man, that’s fucking awesome. Hope you enjoyed the drive back cause nothing beats the first trip
Happy for you glad for us to get to learn about chevy now as well I own a s550 but man I'm in love with a C6 ZR1
Tunnel does get hot after a long drive.
The exhaust is under there with a belly pan to keep the heat in.
Congrats Alex! You are a huge inspiration to us 💪🏾
Just a poor kid from Holyoke MA, If i can do this anyone can.:)
Gm Lund tune
@@YDBT4LIFE ALEX IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CAR AND I PLAN ON ADDING ONE MORE CHEVY TO MY MUSTANG COLLECTION.
Beautiful! And the updated head unit was the best thing ever done to that car. The OEM setup sucks. Maybe one day I will upgrade.
i love the colr with the blue zr1 accents
Proud of you Alex! Doing big things and seeing you progress from all the hard work paying off is badass. Now get your merch out bicho. We need some ydbt and tony shirts
Best title lol. Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations 🤙🏾 best of both worlds #fordChev
Clear UV blocker film on the windshield will help.
Beautiful ZR1, congratulations Alex
Consider getting your windshield tinted at least 70% to block IR and UV rays, which will keep your dash cool and safe.
Congrats Alex!
Polarized sunglasses will help TREMENDOUSLY with the glare of that dash in the windshield Alex.
Bad ass, I just picked up the same exact identical car yesterday with only 1700 miles.
Congratulations on the beautiful ZR1 Tió Alex! You’ve motivated me to grind harder! Enjoy your new beauty!
Congratulations Brother. I remember way back you use to call this car King Dick on the Highway. Can't wait to see what you do with her. 👏👏✌️
WOW i just got mine last week! Absoulutely love it and im not far from WPB myself. In PSL.
Congratulations also!
Love the ZR1 brother! Just unloaded my Procharged 18GT for a 2017 Z06. I love em both!
New balances on the way 😂beautiful car Alex
Already got them from the GT500
Just noticed something, on your Timelapse when it says you are in Virginia you are actually in NC. You were riding through my home town. Awesome car and awesome video though!
Ive seen clear tint for a lack of a better word that supposedly reflects a lot of heat and UV rays maybe a suggestion for the front windshield to keep the dash cool
Tint the windshield with some nice heat rejection ceramic tint. I have 80%, so it looks basically clear. It’s night & day difference.
The heads up display is the best part of the corvette
Congratulations Alex. I know personally that this car is special.
Congrats on the new car Alex! She's a beaut
That is so funny that you report the vehicle as comfortable. I have heard many people complain, especially about the seats. AWESOME car 👍👍 👍
Congrats on the new car Alex. I am curious why you don’t like MGW shifters design ? Are you referring to their Corvette shifters or all MGW shifters in general?
Congrats on the ZR1. I enjoy watching all your content.
Awesome car Alex, I knew yesterday on the live stream when you said this morning was a much watch that you had bought one I love that color!!
Glad that you are in that car. I recently got a GT500 and I know your feeling
glad you like the c6 platform i went from a s550 to c6 because of the coyote cam phasers and transmission taking a dump with only 5k miles and i enjoy my grandsport alot more
they make clear ceramic tint since you said you don't like tinted windshield.
I have 50% ceramic on my DD and its been a game changer for glare
what a car !! I'm new to the CHEVY family, but daily my 2010 Camaro 2SS 6MT. Save for the throttle response( lack of it, lol) I love everything about it !
Good for you. 16 gt here, but looking forward to more content for the new car.
The c6 ZR1 is in a league of its own. What a cool car
congratulations enjoy it
Congrats man, in my opinion the best Vette ever produced.
Amazing!!. Just add a rear view camera to the head unit for peace of mind
Maybe light tint on the front windshield 🤔
Congratulations. We content on the way!!!!
Congrats man! I made the move a bit ago too, and while not a zr1, it is a whole different beast than a Mustang. These are such well balanced cars!
You will enjoy it
Hard work pays off! Congrats man you deserve every bit of it
Congratulations sir I’m happy for you can’t wait to see the new content with this beauty.
I drove up to Philly from SC to buy my ZR1 earlier this year. Never sat in a c6 or any corvette before. Opened the door and you literally have to roll into these things. Drove it back 700 miles to SC all while getting 22MPG. Never see myself getting rid of it.
Damn, look at all the likes and comments on this video! Way to go brother!
Cannot be happier for you, Congrats Alex!
Thanks sir!
Congrats bro, sick ass car
C6 ZR1 is one of the most badass vettes ever made, you’ll never wanna go back to driving a mustang.
It is one of the most badass vettes ever but I wouldn't say he's never gonna wanna drive a mustang again he has some badass mustangs. That gt500 is a monster.
@@midnight347 true but the ZR1 is a completely different animal. Lightweight, carbon ceramic brakes, with a badass engine and manual transmission.
@@Jimmyxsx I'm not saying it isn't. But to say he won't even want to drive his mustangs anymore is a bit of a stretch imo. They're totally different cars built to go fast totally different ways.
Dude that's my favorite color for the zr1. Congratulations on purchase! The Zr1 sound so good when they are revved out rowing thru the gears
For the dash..there is dash cleaner that is low gloss.. prev owner just used high gloss product
Congrats sir, enjoy in good health! Keep that stock shifter and yes a backup camera is a must. That head unit looks like it can support one.
Congrats Alex! Tinting that windshield will help a lot with keeping some of the heat out.
Awesome car; awesome video. I'm on the hunt for a C6 myself. The Zr1 is a bit too rich for my blood, but the Z06 is a perfect consolation prize for me.
Soon as I get this mustang ready to sell, I'm making moves.
That's bad ass!! Congrats, huge goals right there, awesome to see you crush them!
Congratulations Alex! one of the all time greatest cars ever built, excited to see your plans with this! Nothing speaks badass better than a C6 ZR1!
Congrats Alex!!!! Beautiful car!!! Hey polarized sun glasses helps tons with the glare. Also, some ceramic tint on the windshield can reduce the heat in the dash.
Very nice, looking forward to the video series on this car too
Love it! I bought a C7 Z51 and absolutely enjoy it. Much more fun ride than my Mustang honestly.
Congrats man! You freaking did it. I've been a long time follower and have heard you saying its the king daddy for the longest time. I'm really happy for you and excited to see new content for what is also my favorite corvette. Greetings from PR!
