I own a 2017 Z06 7-speed. One of the most visceral and raw experiences you can have. Sounds incredible and gets thumbs up everywhere. Can actually feel the liquid in your skull move from all that torque! Love this car, live in New England and bought in January as a second car. Already put 4K miles on it. 👍
Corvettes are always the best cars to buy and there’s variations for every budget, C5 C6 C7 and eventually C8. No other performance model car can do this.
Anthony your 100% right I race the C5 Z06 and it’s hands down the most affordable super car out there for the money. Mine is built 600 HP, cage, harnesses, etc and I’ve had it up too 180 mph on a open road race. No doubt it could do over 200Mph.
I've owned a Vette when I was like early 20's. Then went to airplanes. It's time to go back to a Vette. I'm at a crossroad for a C6 or C7 ZO6 or go Ferrari. I was on a Ferrari forum and one guy posted... "If I want to enjoy driving, take the Ferrari". "If I want to get there take the Vette". So true America's Vette can drive short or long trips without worries, with a detector of course. Back to Vette's, I know two different Vette's c6/c7 but I like both. I like the round lights in the rear but...... The C7 looks hot too and different power plants. I'm a manual trans. guy but the auto's these days are much improved. Time to test drive... Great vid Joe.
I love my C7 ZO6. Got 30k miles on it. Best Vette I’ve had. My 5th one👍. I’m keeping this one when I get my C8 ZO6. Sending the C7 ZO6 to LMR in Houston. Gonna get same package SS717 has on his ZR1.
Loved your video! I have the triple black 18 Z06. Yes, it is a last to drive! BUT NOT IN THE RAIN! Getting caught in the rain is SCARY….as in slip& slide. Great video!
My first Corvette was a1988 Z51 that I purchased in 2002. In 2004 I purchased a 1991 ZR-1. I sold that in 2017 and bought a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. Well I sold that last week and bought a 2016 Z06 3LZ convertible. My God, what an awesome car, and I didn't have to pay 100k over MSRP. I let the original owner take the depreciation. It is Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic with 39,225 miles on it. I love it! Thanks Joe!
I have the ZL1 with that stout LT4. Running E85 and some additional goodies that take it up a notch. With a manual, of course. It’s a rare experience handling that much hp with a manual. Savoring every minute.
I traded my BRZ in this weekend for a 2016 admiral blue with black wheels C7 Z51 and if we’re talking C7 Z06 I would damn well say it’s worth it… my Z51 package is a 7 speed manual and I have a blast with that 460hp so I could only imagine 650!!
Awesome review Joe! THis will be out of my price range in 4-5 years when I’m ready to buy a C7... Unfortunately. Might have to “settle” for a Stingray but thats ok, 650 hp is out of control , but Would love to drive one! Definitely need the 7 speed manual for sure !
U took the words right out my mouth! It definitely reminds me of the batmobile almost like they were inspired by it especially when looking at it from an angle from the back and that long hood and flared spoiler all blacked out...nice call bro loving the vids everyday btw stay safe and keep the good stuff up
I miss you joe and lori its chris from new Jersey I've been without a phone n stuck in the house n in lock down, I hope u both are safe ur still the best TH-cam video n channel in the world god bless

CoffeeLover; Hey coffee lover. I think I hear your mom calling you for lunch. Yup, it’s tuna salad yet again. Eat it and shut up. And thanks for your insightful incorrect Opinion of this or any other Corvette. Did your mom let you borrow the Chevy Citation (X-CAR!) today or do you have to walk to Cracker Barrel this afternoon for your shift? One mo thang: Did you get that RS4 y’all were eyeing up on Autotrader or did Hoovie beat you to the punch on that one as well? 🥳
CoffeeLover; Please share your thoughts and depth of knowledge on future editions of RR please. You’re comments really add to the channel. May I inquire as to where a distinguished gentleman like yourself learned so much about automobiles? I’m very impressed. What does a man of such stature such as yourself drive? Certainly not any American crap for you. Maybe one of those snazzzy Fiat Abarth’s or is it Abarf’s??
I'm currently in the process of buying a used 2016 Corvette Z06 with only 12000 miles on it and I already know about the heatsoaking issue but as long as your Not driving the car hard all the time it shouldnt be a problem !!! ;)
The C6 ZR1 to this day is still the king. Quicker than this, the ZR1 ZTK, and C8 Z06 in a straight line, and on Cup 2R wouldn’t be massively slower on track. And better looking.
I like your video's. Thank You! Correction -- 2019 Is the last Year of the Corvette with the front Engine. I know that you know that! I am a Judge with the NCRS, (National Corvette Restorers Society). The Original ZO6 Option Desigination Option Code was original on the C2 Generation Body Style of the 1963-1967 Corvette Body Style. But ZO6 originally was on the Model Year of 1963 Corvette only with 199 Units actually Built from the Factory. 1963 ZO6 was a 327 Cubic Inch Small Block V8 Engine with Rochester Mechanical Type Fuel Injection rated at 360 Horsepower. Some of the 1963 ZO6 Corvette Coupes were built with the optional 36.5 Gallon Fuel Tank. In 1963 there were 63 units built with option code NO3 (36.5 Gallon Fuel Tank) Only Available on the Coupe Model's. The larger fuel tank option cost an additional $202.30 for the option. So that is the Heritage of the ZO6 Corvette. The ZO6 and any Corvette is and has always been a Great Bang for the Buck! Wrap Your Ass In Fiberglass! Save the Wave!
I salute you to ur knowledge about cars but m very big fan of range rover velar so plz plz u can review for me base model of velar I mean first' starting trim of velar. I c ur review on black colour velar but in my country few models (trims) r not come and also different from USA models so plz plz review for me starting trim of velar so I can buy one In india
Your crazy grin during acceleration pretty much sold the car for me and yes, it's a great buy considering you get supercar level power and excellent handling. Mag ride equipped models also ride pretty comfortable despite the gigantic wheels and run flat tires.
Owned one for the past 3 years. Very fast car and a blast to drive. Go take a Corvette driving school if you buy one. You'll need the skills if you like driving fast. It can be a hand full.
man what a car, one of the best looking cars i've ever seen.. One day hopefully i'll get to own this, meanwhile thanks Joe for sharing the ride with us, awesome review. One request, can you please also review c8 corvette z06? or grandsport? thankyou so much.
Only a little over 10K miles and its 61K? That's a good deal considering its almost 100K new. This video was posted two days ago. I wouldn't be surprised if this car is sold now. The exhaust note on the inside is unreal. Hopefully its not pumped in fake crap like mustangs.
Hey Raiti! Love your videos! Can I add one comment? It’s very difficult to see the exterior aforementioned lines and features of car that are black. Sometimes you haven’t the choice. No?
"I wouldn't risk it because you're probably gonna squirt cream everywhere." I'd be squirting cream everywhere even if I didn't bring any twinkies into that AMAZING car. Awesome review as always!
If I can find one for the price of a used Camaro Zl1 I'll get one these and I've found Zl1s with under 30k miles for $40k. If not I'll be happy with a Zl1.
Great video, do you have information on how to remove the driver side airbag that’s on the seat, I need to remove it to fix my seat and then I’ll put it back on, any help would be great, I can’t find anything online😫. Thanks
I’m about to buy a 2019 orange 1lz with 1,800 miles, manual, for 58,000... thoughts? It was a Canadian import already done with title and ready to go. Hmmm? This would be to flip for profit. Anyone? I’m thinking resell for 65k?
What car can you get used for 60k.......HELLCAT which are usually a tad bit less. I love GM products but a used hellcat is less money and can have a sedan to lug the family around....it’s the ultimate dad car lol
Yea man I'd have to agree with you on that one. Joe really goes into depth and big detail. I also feel like Joe sounds more enthusiastic when he does these reviews.
Doug is the guy if u wanna just be a virgin about it touching stuff and wondering what does this do? lol Joe is Thee Guy Hands down he knows what hes doing
The Car Crazy Guy that's awesome! I'm in the same boat traded in my modded "13" Shelby GT500, and I've never looked back, owned 5 Mustangs and hands down the C7zo6 is by far my favorite car to date...
I just sold my '18 GT350 yesterday, looking at these and C6 ZR1. I'm turn, not sure which direction to go in. The newer tech and interior is hard to overlook though.
Damn 61,000 not bad. Thanks for the review . Might add one to the collection. By the way thanks for the wot pulls. That really helped the judgement call
I like this one better than the newer mid-engine ones.
Thank you 🙌🙌 finally someone that agrees with me
The Billiard Corner 🧢
The new ones are amazing performance wise but I think the C7’s look better
Please hold your opinion until the Z06 c8 is released. You got no idea how good it’s going to look just look at the c8.r it looks better then c7r
I thought i was the only one 😓. The c8s look weird from some angles.

Amazing how these are now pushing $80k with more miles than the one you have here. Man how times have changed.
Right lol

How much is the price of this car same year same everything in 2024?
C7 looks so much better than the C8. Hands down.
I have to get one.... Did anyone notice the 35 miles per hour speed limit sign he passed on that second to last roll-on acceleration???
Great video, do you have information on how to remove the driver side airbag that’s on the seat, I need to remove it to fix my seat and then I’ll put it back on, any help would be great, I can’t find anything online😫. Thanks
Because numbers wise it kills most cars on the track and comparatively cost much much less not only to buy but most importantly maintain.
I think this kind of Corvette looks better then the c8
