Ton of power to the rear wheels, manual transmission, aids off and a ballsy but skillful driver. This is the stuff Nurburgring wet dreams are made of.
For a crazy stat, the average speed over this lap was over 105mph/169kmh
Best 7min14 time spent of my life. I m a proud owner of a C7 z06 Z07. That car is sick!
Agreed
Corvette still is the best supercar for the price.
agree
YPO6 ahhhhhh viper and mustang and camaro are tied
Zr1 is a supercar but z06 is a sports car with near supercar levels of performance
Corvette never reached supercar status. They forever live in sportscar class
For a brand new one price? Nahh, Nissan GT-R all the way🤷🏻♂️
1:56 that 270kmh jump tho
Code brown!
The fluctuation of speed in a second is insane. Cost a second or more on the lap I think
@@DonLee1980 😂😂
Wow that is actually insanely fast. That's the third fastest lap time "Sport Auto" ever did on the Nurburgring behind the AMG GT R and Porsche 918. and all of that with a manual!
Wait until the Viper ACR is finished with that track.
Yes but think of it, the AMG GTR has just 560 horses and yet did a 7:10, so yeah GM is superb but gotta give props to Mercedes for putting 560 horses to ground way more effectively than 650 horses
AMG GTR has a DCT.. Corvette is manual
Manual vs DCT time aint that far off with Corvettes
The Vettes 8 speed AT is not a significant improvement over manual as its not as fast as DCT
The Vette still is awesome but I gotta say if Vette gets 90/100 for putting the horsepower to ground the AMG GTR gets 95/100 and I think Porsches are the best in this attributes, almost all Porsches are easily 95+ cars
Ponygt 662 well the AMG has shorter gear ratios and basically no time wasted with shifting, whereas the Corvette has a pretty long gear ratio. Put the AMG DCT in the vette and it will be much faster
What an absolute joy to watch ...and hear... the Z06 on the Green Hell. Still on my bucket list.
Go get it man!!
It's so crazy to watch someone post such a fast time, on such a technical track, and look so relaxed.
Love my manual 2018 Z06, so much enjoyment...this video is awe inspiring!
Sport Auto...thank you for doing this test with a great result...awesome driving. I am hoping that the GM team, finally post the time they ran when they were testing the Z06 more than a year ago. Apparently they had a great time with a factory team driver but for unknown and many speculated reasons never released the time. GM release the time, you have nothing to lose, I hope.
Die Geschwindigkeiten sind der absolute Wahnsinn! Wer selber schon mal über die Nordschleife gefahren ist, kann das beurteilen. Grandios gefahren.
I don't think I've seen a C7 Z06 Ring time until now. Very nice.
That is because after GM crashed the Z06 once, the Nurburgring put a speed limit on the track before they could get back, so they never released a lap time.
Ну как же это хорошо, как бы хоть прикоснуться к этому авто 😍🤯, одно из моих любимых видео на ютуб с z06 😍🔥👌🏿
Just watching gets your heart racing
airborne at 1:56 , carousel at 5:02 , 6:57 , top speed at about 7:46 , 285 km/h (177 mph)
Top of 5th gear @ 7:46
Sehr schön gemacht! Bought a new 2019 Corvette Grand Sport, with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION, and it’s a great car! Huge, 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.
This is pushing the Vette to the limit! Exactly what these things are made for nice job.
unfassbar geil anzuschauendes Video. Respekt für Mensch und Maschine. Thumps up.
GM has its issues, but they do have incredibly talented chassis and powertrain engineers. I am still stunned at the performance on The Ring of the Camaro ZL1. Do you guys remember the POS Chevrolet Cobalt (worst car ever) that the engineers dropped in the LNF turbo 4 and the chassis engineers did their magic and the Cobalt SS turbo (not the supercharged version) killed it on the Nurburgring? The rest of the car was garbage, but the drivetrain and chassis were magic for a front wheel drive car. This Z06/Z07 once again shows the chassis/powertrain gang at GM are amazing. They had to produce this level of performance while producing a car that would sell for a fraction of the price of the competition. Its a lot easier to do when the car can sell for $800,000.
I remember an article where the Cobalt was lapping faster than the mighty Miata. To car people, that's a big thing to say. To non car people that laugh at the Miata for being a "girls" car, I say F-off LOL.
Damn it Jeff my C6 ZR1 shared the same steering wheel from a cobalt isn't it crazy how far GM and American cars have come in a short time gotta love it!!!!!!
vwkaferman cobalt SS turbo laps a track faster than a 2013 Shelby GT500 with 670hp
Jeff Tyler What makes the Corvette sooo good is the fact they have the most successful racing program in american sports car history. Theyve been to the top of the top for so many decades they use all the knowledge to take racing technologies and use them in the production covettes. Add in all the testing. And you get the Corvettes handling.
" They had to produce this level of performance while producing a car that
would sell for a fraction of the price of the competition." May be true that they have similar levels of performance but the Corvette requires a very good driver. The more expensive competition is much easier to drive, therefore the regular sportscar owner will be able to drive them faster than the Corvette.
Well, the direct competition in laptime would be the Porsche gt3, which is faster around the Nordschleife by just one second (it has 160 hp less!) and has much better manufacturing quality.
In europe the Corvette is priced at ~110000€ compared to the Porsche gt3 ~150000€, so it still is quite a bit cheaper, but you won´t have the quality you get from the Porsche, yet a similar level of performance.
Only 2 seconds faster than the ZL1 1LE's time that was set by GM. There's definitely room for improvement still.
NoReplacementForDisplacement for the Camaro or corvette. Because the zo6 is pretty old so with the upcoming zr1 it should blow it away
maybe with 8L90 will faster lol
NoReplacementForDisplacement You'll see the improvement in the ZR-1. I'm still waiting to see what Ford does in that $500K GT of their's. I doubt they'll hot lap it.
Z06 came out in 15', the Camero ran the time, the corvette never ran the ring with their test driver, I suspect the lap time will be significantly faster with Jim Mero. Also remember the Camaero basically uses all corvette power train parts.
NoReplacementForDisplacement GM times way faster.
How can you drive with all that crap hanging from the roof man. Great driving as always.
Man your driving is just sensational
Christian Gebhardt did a great drive making a Corvette Z06 awesome lap.
Hey kids. Pay attention to his seat position. He has COMPLETE control over his vehicle. Don't be that kid with the seat laid back so far your hands can barely reach the wheel. Or do it, but when you put your sports car into a curb or center divider don't say you didn't know better. Great job Stig, and phenomenal job Government Motors!
Great video!!!!! Superb performance skills!!!
Excellent drive. Great to no the track. Certainly wasn't scared off it
Leaf springs and a pumped up old school engine🤟🏻....I don‘t care which one million dollar super hightech car could go 5 or 10sec faster, what no normal guy could do...this is great engineering!!
My fingers started to cramp I was squeezing my phone so tight watching this lap😆🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸🏁
Bravo GM! As a Z06 owner I was always a little pissed that they didn't release a ring time for this car. Now let's see what the ZR1 and the new C8 can do.
I wanna see a driver that's really good and knows both the car and track well, and put them in the automatic. I'm think that will shave at least 3 seconds
yess ! Not only the design and tthe Price are Insane. The Power is also there
anständig bewegt würde ich sagen ! :)
Nordschleife and the Corvette Z06 are numero uno et numero dos on my bucket list.
I can almost forsee every corner. I hope to travel this lap in my life
Best sounding car ever.
Geez, what a Helluva lap!
That's wicked fast
7:13 in a manual shift? That’s just stupidly insane
Leaf springs and a pumped up old school engine🤟🏻....I don‘t care which one million super hightech car could go 5 or 10sec faster, what no normal guy could do...this is great engineering!!
The Corvette is in it's element at Nordschleife!
Ich freu mich auf die 08/2017!
Good grief this sounds so good.
Wow, in a manual. Just WOW!!!
the a8 is not good for track use. cant shift with the paddles because its slower than slow. When you leave it in auto it will up and downshift too much.
I own a 2016 Z06, A8, convertible, 3LZ, in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. I was asked today 3/10/24, "what color is that?" I love it. Such a fun car!
Good Lord, what a time. GM Factory drivers should hopefully have shaved off more time.
I'm not really an American car guy, but beautiful cars like this are exceptions. :)
nice cam broooo
If it was a better driver, better times. He missed gears a couple of times, could’ve been in a lower gear a couple, and just went over those curbs just a tad too much a couple of times. He’s got balls, but has room for improvement.
For the car, phenomenal. Sounds awesome, and looks fantastic.
🇺🇸💪👍🦅
You have to give this guy credit for HUGE stones AND he made a lot of great corrections when the car could have gotten away from him really fast which would have been BAD. VERY BAD!!! Great job!!!
Cool!
Is there a PDR video from the car? Would love to see the stats overlay!
if the zo6 can put down this time imagine what the new zr1 will put down I'm predicting a sub 7 lap
the swiss exactly
ACR killer lol
I'd say 10-15sec difference with the GT2RS
Kolleg wenn de use isch.. Mann mann mann wird das krass
ACR killer?...plz. They don't even make them anymore. Go troll SpongeBob videos.
How's that relevant bobby
The last model came out literally months ago
It's as new as it gets
It'll definitely rivel the new ACR
iCallOfDutyDog lol you were wrong ACR STILL demolished the zr1 by 12 seconds
Sehr beeindruckend. Was sagten die Motor- und Getriebeöltemperaturen nach der Runde?
Very very curious to see how quick the new zr1 will lap
Nice driving....sounds great...had to Google mph vs kmh...
230kmh=142mph...280kmh=174mph...not bad
What model year C7 Z06 is it? Cuz they said the 2015 and 2016 ones overheat. Just want to know if it is a 2017 model. Maybe it might make a difference.
He seemed to not be going full out on the second half of the track. He could have gone faster it seems but that would have been in a perfect world. The time is ridiculously fast.
It’s a GM car. It was overheating
JLP Lightning LOL I have a c7 as well and I can say. Yes it most likely did 😅😂
How many missed shifts and slides can you have and still have a sub 7:15???
The amount of abuse these cars take when it comes to the huge dips on track. Squating of the springs and suspension. The moving weight at high speeds and the rims and tires. The brakes most take speed off ultra quickly or you risk the wall kissing you. The grip necessary to fly around the track. Its astonishing.
ZR1 Times Please and Lets GO !!!!
Handles kerbs pretty well
07:13 That is 24 seconds faster as a Nissan GTR at the time. Very impressive 👍
What are you talking about? this was in 2017 and the GT-R did a 7:19 in 2012.......
@@biggiesmalls7939 gtr suck it's OK they made the same care for over a decade .... the c7 manual is the last true sports car that's a supercar contender for a fraction of the price! 💥 BOOM MIC DROP 🎤
The gtr did 7 mins and 8 seconds. Google is free 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@krisi.2011 vettes are garbage
@@victorbremer8097google is free, Nissan admitted they cheated on the Nurburgring with their nismo gtr. 7:08 was not done stock. Go watch the full video.
I believe th new c7 zr1 will be able to set 6 min benchmark ! I have my finger cross on this one
This was the best camera placement, sound and video quality possible?
Some of the miss shifts cost him a few seconds for sure.
Fuck if he'd scoot the seat back a touch maybe
Wow, that is so damn fast! Most people here - especially non Nürburgring locals - are arguing with the shifting performance of Christian Gebhardt... believe me, this guy has got the biggest balls of all of us! Driving so fast around the Ring and shiftig manually is nearly impossible, because you need both hands on the steeringwheel nearly all the time. Everytime you shift, you're on the edge, especially when breaking. But of course, he left maybe 1-2 seconds because of that. Another argument for the real speed of the Corvette.
And please.. to all "racedrivers" here: You can't compare 1/4mile times with the Nordschleife. This is a racetrack, not a dragstrip. It's THE racetrack. It's the worldwide benchmark for every sportscar. And when a streetlegal series car goes 7.13,90 min here, its fast as hell! Remember that: In 2009 the Gumpert Apollo(!!!) broke the record with an 7.11,57 min...
And with a manual. Things are floating around in the cabin... hes not just a driver. He took flight in areas. Its videos like this that remind you how fast a sub 7 minute lap is. Now amg just put out sub 7.50. While this is still driving. Visceral. The amg makes it look like cruising to the market. You still see the tires gripping and the lateral g and moments of inertia here.
Wow with a manual. Tearing through those turns lol
Does the car auto rev when he downshifts? I couldn't tell if he was using heel-toe
This car is impressive, but most of it is down to the really wide front tires and not to mention the michelin pilot sport cup 2 semi slick with the special compound
ya the new zr1 is gonna be right there with the viper acr
The C7 Z06 is a bonafide Supercar you can buy at your local Chevy dealer with a warranty!
Why were you short shifting, and going so easy during the last half of the track? It looked like you could have gone a good bit faster. Sandbagging?
Geil!
This is what you SHOULD DO with a sports car
Need some Cup2R tires on that thing and do another epic run. Tire tech has changed significantly since this vid, probably good for another 5-6 seconds with the Cup2R tires.
He's really good in the high speed sections but looks a little choppy at slow speeds and it seems like he's bogging it down a little bit in the slow parts of the track also.
Its a manual transmission. Older driving philosophy quickly being lost. you have so much torque that shifting is slower than letting it drop in rpm. You arent trying to keep high revs. It could spin out. This has a supercharger too. So you can let the gears pull as long as you like and have plenty of power for the corners. .
Its only recently that people realized the higher average rpm means quicker lap time. While this is a more shift time derived strategy.
Check out the old can am and group c stuff. Where they still only had 4 speed transmissions. Youll be shocked at how long a gear is when you can go 240 mph.
Now I want to see a hot lap like that in a C8 with someone familiar with the Ring
C8 has a ton of understeer, think u would be surprised about it’s performance
is it the z07 package tho. the lap time of that was reported to be around 7:6 with auto.
smoking fast
The best super sports car around it's other home turf in Europe. I love it.
And still faster than most other super sports cars in the world. Bred in Europe and built in America. There is no replacement for displacement.
yes displacement can't lie
Now imagine if this lap was done with a full on professional that didn't miss shifts and knew the track like the back of their hand.
And the Corvette is half the price of European cars that can compete with it. So much for the supremacy of Deutsche Automobilingenieure.
The.#1 T keep dreaming, put relative money at it this car destroys everything but a couple super cars.
I am not going to participate in the whole debate over wich is better etc. since i like both sides. However you do realise that a corvette in Europe costs more then a corvette in the Us? Just like a BMW Porsche etc costs more in the US then in Europe? I mean seriously the half price thing ain't true at all and I love corvettes.
Droggelbecher Mengele yet here you are participating in the debate.
@@redlinemotorcars2184 I did not take any side and i did not state that one car is better then another. I simply said something people have to think about when arguing. I joined the debate yes. But only to remember others about the price thing. I didn't say x or y is better because z. I made an argument for both sides thus keeping to what i said.
Pixel Dust we are quite curious in North America to see how the new Gt500 does against the Z06 but you are correct no European cars really compare and the premium material debate doesn’t wash with anyone who has a bit of technical knowledge. Good points,I’ve only ridden in a Lamborghini and a couple of Corvettes being too poor to afford the high end cars, I was underwhelmed with the Lambo and blown away with the gut wrenching torque of the Vette. To each his own I suppose but given a 911 and a Z06 I’m taking the Vette all day, it’s raw it’s enormously powerful and all adrenaline to drive.
Wait a second, an american front engine rwd car with manual just went HOW FAST? Aren't these thing supposed to go only straight?
King Pleb nah man these days the Porsche 911 is like what the Corvette used to be back then
The Viper ACR is also a front engine RWD with manual and did a 7:01.
additional with leaf springs, only one camshaft, 2 valves per cylinder etc...
@@Starfire_Storm was fitted with "GTS-R Commemorative Edition" and "Extreme Aero Package", so it was not the very stock car like the Vette shown here
@@Coolgamer400 You do know what stock means yeah?
That unsecured wire over your right shoulder would have been a real distraction to me.
I Trust these times way more than the ones from Porsche,Lamborghini
Traction control on or off during this run?
Yes, there is room for improvement. This isn't the manufacture's run but it's a great benchmark. Also, this is with a/c on. A/C sucks around 8 to 10% of the power from an engine to run.
Waiting for my c7 z06 to arrive from Texas I'm the furthest from a chevy guy but this vette is no ordinary chevy it's its own brand you can show someone a vette from c1 to c7 they know its a vette even if not car people sadly the c8 won't have that talent can't wait to row that 650 hp around gear by gear
It is not surprising when a roadcar is developed in conjunction with the race version. I am looking forward to how the Ford GT performs in this track.
mother of god
Wow, I'm surprised it didn't overheat B)
This is some good driving, but I would love to see Jan Magnussen do a lap in one.
the 2010 viper acr time was 7.12
Latest ACR hit 7:01
From around 5:00 it seems to me that the driver was not pushing the car as hard as he could have been, engine rpm was down compared to the first five minutes and he was short shifting, don't get me wrong he was still going boogying along it just seemed like he was sand bagging some what in the last two minutes...........
Probably overheating
Is the gearbox messed up? Or is he shifting slow? Blistering lap anyways though, just wish GM did a little bit more suspension tuning on it.
Abd junior Hallak corvettes have unusually long gear ratios, yet are still able to post fast laps.
as for me vette - is the only US sport car. Hail for z06
Was that 4th or 5th on the uphill straight 🤔
Crap that thing is moving, ~7:10 with a GM driver.
Probably even faster when equipped with the 8-speed automatic trans.
the 8 speed overheats easier and won't last a single lap.
the 7 speed also has the 3rd radiator option. the auto can't have this 3rd RAD.
Not An Argument. The cooling has been revised for 2017 so I genuinely doubt that.
8 speed goes to safe mode after 2/3 of lap it is overheating. i am acctualy suprised. that it manage to do full lap.
they still overheat maybe not that bad but well. still. :D
Please Drive a NEW Rekord wied the Corvette C8 😍😍😍.
good to still see a super sports car with a manual gearbox.. skill is required to drive this car fast... not like most other sports cars with dual clutch transmissions that every idiot can drive
