RED_10R If you hate it, buy one for yourself and drive it to your heart’s content. Problem solved. And the others can choose to drive or not to drive their cars.
You are correct! I don't own this corvette, but I break loose at 65mph in 2nd gear in my Challenger Hellcat 6-speed, and while initially scary, you just laugh after you gained control and continue on to illegal speeds😁
@@Jaystring09 Right now, 225/45 SA07s, will easily break loose before getting into boost, but even when I ran 245/35R17 R1Rs, they would still break loose, albeit once the turbo spools. Doesn't take alot of power honestly, my old NB with like 120whp would still break loose on COMP-2s.
same problem with the Z06, too much power, not enough grip in the rear. motor trends head2head showed the Z06 at 70mph in second gear would break loose. Should have taken a page from the viper acr, better dampening, and 1800 lbs of downforce. Then the vette would wreck everything.
I always said the same thing discussed at 4:20. I used to track a ZR1 (before selling it) once a week and every time I drove it I could not believe that literally anyone able to stroke the check could just hop into one of these and drive it. It's very hard to convey how much car the ZR1 is without just putting a person in the car to experience it. Amazing car.
I bought a 2010 C6 ZR1 new - and still drive it today! It is still an amazing car and I almost never get beat - even motorcycles fall from a 60mph roll (in controlled track situations of course!) I don't get the heat soak that the C7's seem to be prone to in a lot of the videos. I lusted after the 2019 ZR1 but my finances aren't ready for another 100+k car at the moment. I've been Bidened out of the market or Covided depending on your POV. LOL I'm gonna have to spend some money on it soon to clean up the little things that happen after 12+ years, Cracked splitters, wiper occasionally sticking like the motor isn't working right, hatch clunks and they actually put new cats in when one of them self-destructed a couple of years ago. I thought the motor had let loose! But it still runs strong and handles like a race car. Tires are EXPENSIVE. I run a Porsche tire that is a little larger, and stickier and that the tire stores around here can actually mount. I ran into huge problems getting the run-flats installed anywhere.
The Mil-Sim guy is here. Who could've thought. Just so you know Drewski, your videos have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel. Although my laptop can't play Arma 3 at the moment due to thermal issues. I might return to MilSim when I can afford a PC. Respect dude.
Unless you drive the shit out of it. I daily drove an s281 saleen mustang for 2 years back in 2008 when I was 28, and I drove the absolute shit out of that car. Granted it wasnt like this, but it was still a 55 grand 465hp car back 11 years ago, and I loved it
Bought a new 2019 Corvette Grand Sport, with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION, and it’s a great car! Huge power, fantastic handling, and with the magnetic ride control, the car goes from track stiff to cruising smooth in an instant. My wife even asks when we can go for drives in the Corvette Grand Sport, and that rarely happens with my NSX. Buy one, if at all possible, life is short.
GM has been kicking ass with their performance cars these days. Yes, the interior might not be the nicest compared to other $150k cars, but the performance you get is insane.
Actually all the cars at $150k outperform it while looking better. Acura NSX, Porsche 911, McLaren 570s, MB AMG GTR spank this ugly thing. There is a reason they can't sell these

Brian Kennelly oh really, so the brand new Silverado breaking down constantly is a myth. Or millions of recalls in a year. Or the new mid engine corvette being delayed again because it keeps breaking down
@@SHIFTERJason I am aware of the Silverado. That's an exception to the rule. Aside from that exception, they're light years more reliable than any modern German, Swedish or Italian cars. Fact.

The wing and splitter were designed for specific functionality. There's nothing ugly or over the top about them. It's a TRACK PACKAGE option. I love mine and it's the last of an exception era.
Man. What a car that is. I hope and wish that someday soon, the good drivers out there that really need to be in these cars can get some seat time. It really hurts to know that most will go to terrible drivers that won't really appreciate them and have way to much money to spend . Love your vids great job!

So... I just discovered your channel... 11 years late. I just watched your 240z, Countach, Ferrari 255, and this ZR1 video back to back. All very well done. I love the back & forth between the 2 drivers. Great production quality and very entertaining & informative. Subscribed & looking forward to more. Cheers!

C7 ZR1, the ultimate super sports Corvette in a hyper sports car package. Man, this thing is extremely quick. Anyone in denial at the sheer hyper performance of this car is to be considered just left, right, or center of flat earth conspirators.
I’m being Honest. The past hour and a half my eyes were closing sooo tired. I came across your Video (which on TH-cam is my FAV,) My eyes stayed wide open from beginning to END! Not even a hint of tiredness. How is that for Endorsement to your channel? ! Been with you since the beginning and it’s like Christmas with each video!
Wonderful movie, wonderful casters, high quality made video and sound, great facts (about feelings and characteristics of driving in such car, motosport achievments of Chev), lovely place where you drove, brilliant car. Thank you! 🇱🇻-🇺🇸
@@gtperfection1596 Not always about the power unless you're after bragging rights. The GT3 is a phenomenal car and would be my choice over the current ZR1 but with the "T" option. Not a fan of big wings even though the GT3 pulls off the look better than the the wing on the ZR1. Honestly the Z06 would be my choice before the ZR1.
Lee Douglas: What year is your Z & do you have an A8 or M7? I have an '18 WGG M7 Z06/07. I only have 1,946 miles on it so far. I wish I had time to drive it more but I don't. Though if I could afford it I'd also have a 720s & Huracan Performante in the driveway. The Z06 w/Z07 pkg. is great but it also has issues getting the power down to the ground effectively, like the ZR1. They have also packed on too much weight (C6 Z06 weighed 3,150 lbs for comparison).
Would like to see Corvette branch off as their own brand and offer different models. A mid engine flag ship car, a front engine mid tier car like what’s available now, and possibly a smaller front engine entry level sports car to compete with the Miata and BRZ
Todd's breakdown of this on the podcast is spot on. A midengine supercar, a front engine sports car, and an entry-level car around the size of an 86. I know that car would probably need to be more budget, but I'm thinking an 86-sized car with styling queues from a C7 GrandSport and the ATS-V drivetrain. That car would rip!
The chief Corvette engineer Tadge Juechter has been saying that he'd love to make Corvette its own brand for years, and he said it would be similar to how Porsche operates.
@@blakeok952 Exactly, if it branches off still under the GM umbrella... It would need to be a clean break. Just like Porsche, the Flagship mid. eng. would have to be 5x times the current price of a C7. The tiny "Miata Vette" would be like 45K and our current FR Eng. C7's would probably cost 15-25% more. Plus expect to see a VetUV (yes Corvette SUV) because not one major vehicle brand is SUV-less... *Please no comments like **_"kOeNiGsEgG dOsEnT hAvE a sUv"_*
That last second of the video showing a car pulling out right in front of you and having to slam on the brakes.....was everyday for me in my 2015 Stingray. It was an accident magnet.
What is up with that? People tend to drive erratic around me when I'm in mine. Even my wife commented, and she never notices anything when we are driving together. Owned lots of different sports/muscle cars and this is the first I've experienced it. It's bizarre.
Love my new '19 ZR1 and I actually bought my car because of this video! The ZR1 was not originally on my radar until watching this video most every day for a month. Goes very well with my '17 Nissan GT-R and '13 Shelby GT500.
It's a monster! Glad to see a new video! Can you put that engine in my Nova please! Lol. Making an engine swap video this weekend but I want this now! Lol
I dont think the government should get involved in supercar regulations on who can or when can drive whatever, but GM can put whatever conditions they want on a vehical well kinda, but they should at least start making a mandatory performance driving class in order to take delivery of a new corvette even the stingray seems there no slouches, and also the special performance editions of the camaro like the z28 zl1 prob even the SS. It would benefit everyone, the driver and anyone in the vicinity of them and if anyone who owns a performance car should get an insurance credit if they take said course. I hate regulations but some are necessary like gun safty laws.
Great review. Its amazing that this level of power is produced by a production car company and a little scary. In the hands of the wrong person this will be the last car many will own unfortunately but love this car. I respect the laws of physics and know this car earns your attention when behind the wheel.
Unless you're a pro driver or insane, you will not be able to utilize this car's potential on the street. Walter Roehrl said that any car with more than 350hp needs to be on a track in order to fully utilize it.
Yup, Rob (Spaghetti) Ferretti and Matt Farrah from TST spoke on a podcast about this, and agreed that on curvy canyon/backroads 350-400hp is pretty much the most of what you'll ever be able to use.
@@Anders_HeymSR30 true. I forgot to include that because I don't live in germany, but even then you're not able to utilize the handling abilities of a near race spec car
Talk about going out in a blaze of glory... what a glorious way to end the run of front-engine ‘Vettes. The C8 is sure to be a far more sophisticated machine, but it’s gonna be hard to top this ZR-1 for sheer excitement. Oh and very competent review, thanks guys! Good job.
M773 my last car has over 190k miles and worked perfectly fine, my dad has this Chevy van with over 240k miles and the only reason why he sold it was cuz it had a v6.
Warranty? No, this car should come with life insurance.
Bugumir 🤣😂🤣😂Hell Yeah!!!!!
No insurance would take you on. Lol
That would bankrupt GM!

Oh right, they're not bothered. Bring it on!
Never seen a BEAST that's "pretty". This is just a monster car, whether you like GM or not, you have to admit this is a Bad Ass Car.

Would like to see Corvette branch off as their own brand and offer different models. A mid engine flag ship car, a front engine mid tier car like what’s available now, and possibly a smaller front engine entry level sports car to compete with the Miata and BRZ
We've brought up this exact point a few times on our Podcast. We'd love to see it too!
Todd's breakdown of this on the podcast is spot on. A midengine supercar, a front engine sports car, and an entry-level car around the size of an 86. I know that car would probably need to be more budget, but I'm thinking an 86-sized car with styling queues from a C7 GrandSport and the ATS-V drivetrain. That car would rip!

The chief Corvette engineer Tadge Juechter has been saying that he'd love to make Corvette its own brand for years, and he said it would be similar to how Porsche operates.
@@blakeok952 Exactly, if it branches off still under the GM umbrella... It would need to be a clean break. Just like Porsche, the Flagship mid. eng. would have to be 5x times the current price of a C7. The tiny "Miata Vette" would be like 45K and our current FR Eng. C7's would probably cost 15-25% more. Plus expect to see a VetUV (yes Corvette SUV) because not one major vehicle brand is SUV-less... *Please no comments like **_"kOeNiGsEgG dOsEnT hAvE a sUv"_*
Welcome back guys... Missed yall
I like the almost Thunderstruck music in the background. It really goes with the car’s attitude!
Had a 2010 ZR1 and a modded C7 Z06 now, but love the new ZR1. Cannot wait to see the mid engine Z06/ZR1.
Damn, this is the new widow maker.
As cool as I think the 2020 C8 is, the C7 snuck by me and I think it is absolutley fantastic. What an amazing machine.
That last second of the video showing a car pulling out right in front of you and having to slam on the brakes.....was everyday for me in my 2015 Stingray. It was an accident magnet.
What is up with that? People tend to drive erratic around me when I'm in mine. Even my wife commented, and she never notices anything when we are driving together. Owned lots of different sports/muscle cars and this is the first I've experienced it. It's bizarre.
Lol “speed limit, jail”
Speed limit federal prison
Great video! And, I’m a Porsche Guy!
You guys are hilarious,great review
Love my new '19 ZR1 and I actually bought my car because of this video! The ZR1 was not originally on my radar until watching this video most every day for a month. Goes very well with my '17 Nissan GT-R and '13 Shelby GT500.
If GM just had their QC together a lot of their performance cars would be an insane value.
You won't notice loose trim on the dash @ 200 mph
Bad ass car 👍
It's a monster! Glad to see a new video! Can you put that engine in my Nova please! Lol. Making an engine swap video this weekend but I want this now! Lol
Best duo style car review snd video editing ever ?
I'll be in one once I win the Texas Lotto😁
I dont think the government should get involved in supercar regulations on who can or when can drive whatever, but GM can put whatever conditions they want on a vehical well kinda, but they should at least start making a mandatory performance driving class in order to take delivery of a new corvette even the stingray seems there no slouches, and also the special performance editions of the camaro like the z28 zl1 prob even the SS. It would benefit everyone, the driver and anyone in the vicinity of them and if anyone who owns a performance car should get an insurance credit if they take said course. I hate regulations but some are necessary like gun safty laws.
Porsche owner of 15 years here. Thumbs up to Chevrolet. Thumbs up.
That’s what I’m talking about !! Raw power !!!!!! I want more !!
Sad to see front engine go. Im 61 and I never got to get a new one. Let me go check the Corvette Museums Raffle one more time.
4:57 OMG
Srchangwaytogo C. You can feel the Corvette turning the Earth itself.
That's what I said at 10:06!
Great review. Its amazing that this level of power is produced by a production car company and a little scary. In the hands of the wrong person this will be the last car many will own unfortunately but love this car. I respect the laws of physics and know this car earns your attention when behind the wheel.
Can not believe how funny this video was. My favorite person to listen to.
I still love the zo6 c5
Shoot i still love the lt4 C4 vettes & C4 zr1 with the lt5. All vettes are nice
@@eastoakland-S65feen Hell yeah, over the last 2 years they've been growing on me and their affordable!
@@Tommy_Boy1978 exactly even a basic lt1 c4 with the 383 stroker kit is still reasonably cheap. Ill looking at some but dont want automatic
@@eastoakland-S65feen I'll buy buy a manual or automatic, as long as it isn't a 84 with the shitty crossfire injection system
Unless you're a pro driver or insane, you will not be able to utilize this car's potential on the street. Walter Roehrl said that any car with more than 350hp needs to be on a track in order to fully utilize it.
Yup, Rob (Spaghetti) Ferretti and Matt Farrah from TST spoke on a podcast about this, and agreed that on curvy canyon/backroads 350-400hp is pretty much the most of what you'll ever be able to use.
Some of us are lucky to live close to unrestricted Autobahns where all the horsepower can be unleashed
@@Anders_HeymSR30 true. I forgot to include that because I don't live in germany, but even then you're not able to utilize the handling abilities of a near race spec car
Im insane
There's always club racing and HPDE at your local road racing track. You can use all the power, all the brakes, and all the available grip there!
Talk about going out in a blaze of glory... what a glorious way to end the run of front-engine ‘Vettes. The C8 is sure to be a far more sophisticated machine, but it’s gonna be hard to top this ZR-1 for sheer excitement. Oh and very competent review, thanks guys! Good job.
Glad you enjoyed this. As a Corvette fan, we're sure you'd enjoy the entire "American Original" film. Thanks for watching!
The panorama shots of the car at speed are breathtaking.
Why does it seem that hellcats get more interest that this? The capability of the zr1 is way better and can take turns.
Because it's a dodge. Chryslers are the biggest fanboys
More affordable would be my guess
@@noidontthinksololI'd rather have no car than a car that breaks down all the time
M773 Lol ive seen classic corvettes with 200k+ and run like new.
M773 my last car has over 190k miles and worked perfectly fine, my dad has this Chevy van with over 240k miles and the only reason why he sold it was cuz it had a v6.
Did u get into a car accident at the end cuz of that impatient driver?? Close call!
I bought a C7 ZR1 today from a dealer in Knoxville. Will pick it up monday. I can't wait
It looks amazing, I actually want a Vette now, never liked them b4
