Amazing... I knew that gorgeous accelerate yellow, high carbon optioned Z06 was ordered for TJ, but never would have believed it would be yours and in the Neighborhood! I agree with you that things work out for a reason and it was just meant to be! Big Congrats... 👍
Just got done watching TJ's video. Man what a community you have. Great friendships, hope you have fun with the Z06. Glad everything turned out well for you.
Hadn't been watching the channel for a hot minute but congratulations on getting the Z06! It definitely suits you to have a yellow one back on the channel. Shame you won't leave it stock because it's a gorgeous machine on its own. It definitely adds an air of the old school 717 we've all come to know and love.
I'm personally a silver guy and never have much attraction to other colors on cars, but something about the yellow on the Z06 is just stunning in combination with the amount of black accents. The carbon additions and specifically the wheels just takes it to the next level. That may be the absolute perfect spec.
he cant flip it either. all of them had to sign a weaver of no selling the car for the next 6mo. so might as well pass it to mike for favor plus making a content over it. win-win situation for them.
@@hungryalien nope, you don't have to sign that. You can if you want to get $5000 after 6 months to spend on some chevy product (another car, additional equipment for the car etc.)
@@lukafranjcic2634 but if you dont sign it, you might not be on the good list of chevy right? specially for these youtubers who are always looking to be the first to get new rides.
Really cool Mike you deserve it that was real nice of TJ to give you first dibs on it congratulations and good luck with everything One of my favorite TH-camrs
@@troy7295 with all the specs the car costs about 192k with tax etc etc its around 200k. how is that ripped? CTR with over 25k dealer's mark-up is ripped.
@@hungryalien They clearly said (even in the last video) this car is 176K. The 6% tax is ~10.5K making it ~186.5K. It MIGHT be 190K after all the other charges/fees. Mike is just rounding up quite a bit like always.
This is AMAZING! This reminds me of the best Christmas I ever had when I was 7 years old, I'm now in my 40' lol. I still remember the overwhelming joy I felt when I saw those toys. No other Christmas ever compared to that one. Thanks for sharing this video, you made my day. I'm so happy for you!
With any luck TJ will be able to retain his first on the list with GM's special products for funneling this car to Mike who is also known by Chevrolet to promote the brand very well. But technically this is still a new car never being titled to TJ hunt meaning all the warranty is there unlike stradman's car which would be a second owner vehicle and strad man would be off of the first delivery list of general motors
FINALLY, a genuine Corvette guy drives a Z06. Been waiting for your car to drop, but this is way different. Glad ya got one. Mega Props to TJ Hunt. Another real deal guy!!! And the car sounds nuts!!! WOW!!
NO WAY! wow tj hunt what a amazing guy congrats mike! In my opinion there isn't anybody more deserving that it could of went to you've done so much for the brand and brought so many new eyes to corvettes congrats bud!
I didn't even know the Z06 was already being delivered..... you got such a good hook up man you always get the exclusive stuff earlierthan most everyone. Love this channel.
You should do one of the OG wraps you did way back when with the C7 Z06. Those were the first videos I watched years and years ago. That’d be a cool tribute and a great start with this car
I’m ready for the sawsall muffler delete video! Seriously though I can’t want wait to hear these with aftermarket exhausts. One of the craziest sounding domestic vehicles ever produced
Absolutely love this video. Been watching for years and this one feels like a throw back to earlier videos. Scraping cash together to buy a yellow corvette….awesome. Congrats man. Enjoy.
Congratulations 🎉 Thanks to TJ for this and soooo happy for you Mike to finally have your Z06… Now when the next ZR1 comes out hopefully you’ll be one of the firsts!!
Happy for ya Brotha! I know I was probably more pissed than you with GM bumping you, but as a Stage 4 cancer survivor I ALWAYS root for the underdog!!! Congrats! Now let's hear that new exhaust that we know is coming!!!
Congrats on the car, props to TJ for giving you the chance and for you being transparent with the money. Leaving in the fact you had to trade your truck to make the deal is a rare thing to see from most creators on youtube.
I bought 14 new vettes in my life and now I can't get one. Why do these you tube cry babies who bought one or two in their short life deserve to get one fast?
@@bassb450 LoL Mike has purchased OVER 14 corvettes and given away many as well. He draws hundreds of thousands of people to his channel a week who see his CORVETTE content. They go on and talk about the brand, spread awareness, some purchase, etc. It’s called a business grandpa so it’s time for you to quit your bitc*ing and crying…of course GM wants their cars quickly in the hands of folks who will bring eyes to their product and $$$ to their brand. Now go back to sipping your hot coffee and finish reading the newspaper.
@@me-tx2ws Funny that was the exact same number that I said I bought which I know to be true because I bought them. You I am calling total BS on.! Show me his videos with 14 different corvettes and his giveaways.
So glad you and tj worked something out and honestly you probably got a much better deal then you would have through any one of the dealerships that you were working with lol. Did you just pay sticker for a z06?????? Like this couldn't have worked out any better for anyone. You can tell how excited he is lol. LOVE THIS MAN. Happy for you bro.
No he hasn't. For if you knew ANYTHING about Corvettes and their marketing 95.2% of corvette owners do not modify or track their corvettes which is what 717 does to his cars. So he is not selling anything for GM hence why he was not asked by GM to buy a early ZO6. Smarten up.
@@bassb450 What the fu$k did Stradman and TJ do to get early Corvettes? Is it because they don't modify EVERY car they get? Or they have double or triple the subscribers? Did you look at either of their C8 Corvettes? How many Corvettes have those 2 even had on their channels? 1 maybe 2.
I would wait until you hit 1,500 miles. Just. To. Make. Sure. It's a $200K investment! I hope you made sure that you got everything, out of your truck that you traided in! 😆
Honestly the black and yellow spec is the most suiting for you, seeing the yellow seatbelt reminds me of the good ole days... some things are just meant to be! Beautiful car and congrats! My next question is when are you going to wrap the car in the multicolor zebra wrap you had on the 2006?!?!?!?
@@thegreatoutdoors2246 He's pro gun, pro Trump, and if you remember not to long ago every big car youtuber was pro BLM. I don't think Mike fell for the blackout tuesday garbage like everyone else. Honestly GM is so woke for me I wish I didn't get the c8.
I have followed you since the original OG Duramax, hellcat and yellow z06 days. I am very much happy to see you of all people finally receive your just rewards. Of car youtubers you were always the Corvette guy. And a proud one, so I am so excited to see you experience the car. And also, you made history as far as I know you are the only famous car youtuber with both the C7 ZR1 and C8 Z06. Not including you had the C8 Stingray.
Yo I'm so stoked now where gonna get real content on this car and see what she can do. I been waiting for this moment😁wish it was mine but at least I know your gonna drive the shit out of it💪can't wait to check this baby out performance wise really digging this new mid engine. The zr1 will be even more amazing💯💪🔥💪
Congrats Mike I remember joining your channel when you had the C7 Z06 and I bought my C7 back then because of your car in manual ❤ now I have my C8 on the way and I’m wayyyyy back on the list for the Z06 😢 I’ll enjoy your content great job buddy keep it up thank you
Anyone remember when the videos started with a monster from the garage fridge.😂
Yes hahahha
Now it starts with Bangs😂

Nice giveaway car people will buy merch like crazy
by far the nicest Corvette interior ive ever seen
@@Chris-hw4mq nah idk bout this one it might be permanent for a while
@@theflashoflife8088 I'd say def way too expensive and exclusive to give it away right now. Maybe in the future once the ZR1 comes out

No, there isn't high demand for C8 Z06 for $200K.
I am SO happy you got one!!! I truly think this was meant to be. Can’t wait to see the amazing content I know is coming! Congratulations Mike🥳
Really cool Mike you deserve it that was real nice of TJ to give you first dibs on it congratulations and good luck with everything One of my favorite TH-camrs
Wow tj is so cool for giving it to someone that he knew was in love with the car more than anyone and deserved it more than anyone. Congrats MIKE!
I hope this will be a long-term keeper! What a stunning spec! Glad you ended up with this one, Mike :)
What? Why the heck would you pay $200K! You got ripped beyond belief
at least for the next 6mo. he cant sell it hehe

@street_speed717 I was just at Fabspeed, Joe says hello!
Talking about walking in faith. Man this delivery was right on time. You deserve it mike 💪🏽
Crazy story about your z06! Congratulations on your ownership, glad you got it Mike!
Thank you!
The humble days

After seeing all your TRX videos I’m finally pulling the trigger and ordering one
You won't regret it!
A good friend told me someone just traded a fairly new one in a great spec. At Whitmoyer I believe it was. 😂
Good things come to those who wait... Or in your case, those who deserve it!!! Congrats Mike, can't wait to see the future vids on it
So happy for you man! Congratulations on the Z06 can’t wait for all of the content!
Congrats, man! I'm happy that you were able to score one. You deserve it, bro!
TJ Hunt is a stand up guy and great entertainer. Stradman had a 100k over offer already..
And this car has every option and a lower vin
With any luck TJ will be able to retain his first on the list with GM's special products for funneling this car to Mike who is also known by Chevrolet to promote the brand very well.

GM had to love it that Mike traded in a beloved RAM T-Rex. Huge on the loyalty scorecard
This yellow with the carbon wheels and everything is easily my favorite spec!
The oh my god at 5:32 is what I said about a million times when I first saw this car congrats ❤

Congratulations Mike! Super stoked you finally got a car!! You deserve it man
Congratulations Mike was so happy to see you get the Z06. Can’t wait to see the series of videos.
Congratulations Mike well deserved!! Can’t wait to see Rich’s reaction lol
Agreed! Rich is gonna flip!
I didn't even know the Z06 was already being delivered..... you got such a good hook up man you always get the exclusive stuff earlierthan most everyone. Love this channel.
Things just feel right with Street Speed in an early yellow Z06. Thanks to TJ for making it happen
Congrats on getting the zo6 Mike. TJ did spec out a great build. Will be awesome to see what you do with it.
So glad you got the car. I'm sure it was highly disappointing to be looked over by GM after you have represented them so well.
Respect TJ Hunt 👏 and so happy TH-camrs helping each other and need be drive with Strad
Congrats Mike honestly hands down outta every TH-camr u deserve it the most now send the c8 z06 to the moon 🌝
You should do one of the OG wraps you did way back when with the C7 Z06. Those were the first videos I watched years and years ago. That’d be a cool tribute and a great start with this car

I watch both of you guys and it was very classy of tj not to flip it , much love to both of you guys, congrats mike
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks to TJ for this and soooo happy for you Mike to finally have your Z06…

Happy holidays and stay healthy
Finally I was waiting for this video for 2 decades!!
car sounds like a video game
I’m still really surprised Mike didn’t get picked for a Z06, his channel has been all about Corvettes
That was so awesome. Tj hunt!!! What a stand up dude
Idk why Mike doesn’t get the same treatment that others get, he’s a true corvette enthusiast and a American thru and thru congrats Mike!
GM was on that BS but you still got it‼️‼️‼️‼️
Really glad you got the Z06, awesome!
MY MANNNN!!! Awesome that you could get the car, and awesome to see another Z06 on the channel! (I still miss the c7 Z06's haha)
how does this thing pass smog but my 93 honda civic can't?
Thank you TJ Hunt no one deserves it better then Mike 👏
Congrats man! But I have to ask… why didn’t you trade in the C8? Do you plan on keeping both?
Give away c'mon now
That's a fake telegram. Scam that's not Mike
Glad to see you got this one! Looking forward to seeing it some time.
Huge congrats and major respect to TJ! That drops me 2 spots on the list for my Z06 now with Beaver :) WOOT!

Next time I steal a car I’m gonna hook up my phone immediately because at that point I own it right?
Crazy, feels like just yesturday TJ and Sabrina were at the viewing picking out their future C8.
What's crazy is that the Z06's soft limiter is almost as high as the base Stingray's max limiter.
Congrats Mike! Respect to Tj Hunt aswell, so happy for you
Great news Mike.

Pretty cool little transfer if you ask me. He's a good dude. Had the inclination this would happen, but it was a surprise for sure.

Haven't watched this dudes videos for a while..but flat plane crank brought me back fam ..
