OMG sorry Raiti but this is the most complete, and detailed explanation video of all time Jesus Christ what a good one..The beast of america and now im waiting for that one on side the GR3 corvette gtd💪🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏼🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 thanks and congratulation bro
When the C6 Corvette ZO6 released back then, people thought that Corvettes can't get better than this, moving into the future after 2006. After seeing this ZR-1, I don't know Joe. As long as Vettes don't go full EV, I am all for it!
@tren380 Yeap! This is a long message I want to share. One thing that needs to be done by the President is to make the EPA standards, not going out of hand with high MPG requirements for small cars (including sports cars and exotics). I won't really mind with minor hybridization on exotics, just for the sake of high performance, but we definitely need sports cars with good old NA engines at reasonable prices but we will see.
The American supercar! every generation of Corvette since the C5 has at least one world championship victory. The C6 had 4 of them! and the C8 recently won in 2023. GM is the pinnacle of automotive manufacturing and performance for the United States.
Nice! Wanted to tell ya, my wife is a Dean at a technical college in Nashville. She was in a meeting with President and other program directors. She brought up me liking that V8 Miata. There were 3 other dudes that new all about Raitis Rides. They all love your channel Joe, and so do we. 😊
The future looked dim since we lost the camaro and challenger. But the Corvette and Mustang are keeping my hopes up. We got an awd Corvette. That's pretty special.
One beast of a American car for a lot less $ than the European super exotics Thank you two for giving us the exceptional videography and review ZR1 Would be my choice La ferarri Cost a lot more $$$
@hunnterful1 maybe, it's a rapid blue, 3lz htc, carbon brakes, 2 tone blue interior, carbon level 2 interior, carbon flash ground effects, full ppf and ceramic with clear engine cover and other appearance mods.
Good Evening Joe! Great video BYW! I love the styling of the ZRI but am not a fan of the muffled exhaust note due to the twin turbos. Personally,I’d still opt for an Eray with that classic V-8 rumble and let’s be honest…anything beyond 10.5 in the 1/4 and 2.6 to 60 is just pure bragging rights at cars/coffee. Jay Leno always says the real fun is playing around up to 120-130mph. Anything beyond that(especially on streets/highways)is fun don’t get me wrong…but there are too many uncontrolled variables(road imperfections,wildlife,Murphy’s Law etc.) that can change things instantly.I still remember Jay Leno’s being told by professional race car drivers before he spun that Porsche on track…how things get dramatically different above 160mph. Leno also later praised the Corvette later on in comparison that Porsche in how well it performed due to the aerodynamic design at high speeds…it was effortless. However,that’s the caveat of driving a modern supercar and being so well insulated from what speed you’re traveling at…until something fails/goes wrong…which is why tracks are the sanest choice for pushing the limit.
Agreed, I have been enjoying my E-ray for a few weeks now. Way more then enough for now and if I want more that will be easy. Thanks to the base v8 engine there are tons of mods and power adders available.
Nice review Joe. One note, Bowling Green produced the last two years of the C3’s. ‘81’s were built at both St Louis and the new Bowling Green plant. All ‘82’s were then built in Bowling Green.
If I had the money. I would buy one. Because you getting all that for that low cost, knowing that normally you don't get a car like this for that cheap. I hope in the future I can get one .
Just a 2LT Stingray is more power than I need but I love what Chevy is doing with this C8. The E-Ray, the Z06 and now the ZR1. Will there be a Zora? I can’t wait to find out and I’m sure Joe and Lori will be the first to show it to us.
this car is so awesome i just saw the first production car that sold to barret jackson for 3.7 million too bad for me i cannot afford it all i can do is dream
This car gets more videos in which it isn't being driven yet than I can remember for any other recent vehicle introduction. Wake me up when the test drives begin.
I was just wondering why the ZR1 has no active arrow . It could benefit from a DRS system then it will be a true supercar anyway great video. Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍
They really have out done themselves this time over at chevy. I can't help to think of the numbers it'll put down with some race gas and meth once the tuners get their fingers on it. 1400hp stage 1 package just sounds nuts. It'll all be about fitting bigger induction wheels at the end of the day because this one is already ready everywhere else. 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥇
Nice video….. no split window on 233 mph car ??? . Probably be a year or two before I can / will get one , but I intend to, go with my 2010 and 2010 ZR1 😊. THANKS
some places are starting to take orders, but call.. many are not and the few that are Im sure have a long list, then you have many that will add ADM... buying one is going to be a mess starting now. Many have been on lists for years.
Everyone knows I really like the C8. I really do, but it's not without it's flaws. I know the ZR1 will do 230+mph and I know it has over 1000hp but I can't help but think the one thing that would have improved the C8 Z51 and the ZO6, would improve the ZR1. That being the awful gear ratios of the Tremec TR9080. This would be so much better if it didn't come in to overdrive in 4th gear (.88:1). They should have reserved that for 6th gear, 5th should be 1:1 and 4th and 3rd needed to split the difference between 2nd which should be a little greater than 1.76:1. That is really my only complaint on this platform, that and the time it takes for GM to deliver their orders to the customers. I gave up waiting on my ZO6 and cancelled. Now for my money I would probably go with the ZO6 over the ZR1 because I'm a track guy and I like the sound of the NA flat plane crank V8, but it's hard to ignore that much power.
Like Ford performance does GM have GM performance? If so, they ought to bring back cars like the Camaro and other cars that could fit into that segment!
Just ordered mine. Arriving March 31, 2025. STM Diecast 1:18 in Competition Yellow. $64.99 + shipping.
I just ordered my C8 ZR1. Poster should be coming soon.
From where ?
I can afford one poster as well let me know where I can get it ✊
How many times you gonna make the same joke
@@Diddy_Do_It2037 Probably as many times as it will annoy you.
Yes it will I signed on it as well.
It was nice working with you on-site, Joe. Glad we could make this happen and it was nice meeting you and Steven.

Trump got rid of the EV mandate (thank god)...so we should see our beloved V8s for years to come :)

@@zuhayerahnafaziz6956c6 Zo6 is still better
@@zuhayerahnafaziz6956 100% agreed!
I read that GM said that is not in the plans for the Vette to go full electric. I’m sorry, I don’t remember where I read it.

The flag on the vette is absolutely stunning!!!

Incredible piece of engineering
By the way that's not Zora on the windshield - It's Tadge.
A beast of a Corvette!
You better believe it
6:06 that's Tadge my good sir 🍻
You are right on that one.
I sold my wife and am now buying this amazing monster! What a great full reveal and what better venue than Daytona, thanks gents!!!
The future looked dim since we lost the camaro and challenger. But the Corvette and Mustang are keeping my hopes up. We got an awd Corvette. That's pretty special.
Do you have to pay gas guzzlers tax?
That wing is beautiful ❤❤
This over the GTD for sure.
Oh man, the excitement is building!!! Great job men 👍
Thanks fit letting me share it with you!
Simply said,one hell of a car.
One beast of a American car for a lot less $ than the European super exotics
Thank you two for giving us the exceptional videography and review
ZR1 Would be my choice
La ferarri Cost a lot more $$$
Looks like it belongs on the track 😎
You nailed it with that one Tom
Gotta love it! What a beast
That is Tadge
Going to wait and get the last MY ZR1, probably a '29. Enjoying my '23 Z06 htc in the meantime. MSRP only for me.
Can i buy ur z06 when u sell it
@hunnterful1 maybe, it's a rapid blue, 3lz htc, carbon brakes, 2 tone blue interior, carbon level 2 interior, carbon flash ground effects, full ppf and ceramic with clear engine cover and other appearance mods.
That looks FAST and FUN🎉

Nice video as always. I received permission to add the ZR1 to our small stable. It only cost me the promise of an overseas vacation next year.
If I had the money. I would buy one. Because you getting all that for that low cost, knowing that normally you don't get a car like this for that cheap. I hope in the future I can get one .
So great to run into you in the pits at Daytona this year. Keep up the good work.
We can’t wait to get our hands ahold of one and start adding some goodies to it!
Im still waiting for the Comp yellow E-ray goodies 😝😝 .. Blurple.. ha
Best sign yet for the zora is that they used the e ray chassis instead of the Zo6 chassis.
That color is 🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸
Tell me about it! It isn’t gorgeous!
Man you gotta get one of these! Trade in the 170
Keep both!
Just a 2LT Stingray is more power than I need but I love what Chevy is doing with this C8. The E-Ray, the Z06 and now the ZR1. Will there be a Zora? I can’t wait to find out and I’m sure Joe and Lori will be the first to show it to us.
Trust me I totally get what you are saying!
this car is so awesome i just saw the first production car that sold to barret jackson for 3.7 million too bad for me i cannot afford it all i can do is dream
Surprised haven’t got more views. Good but not great, by “Raiti’s rules” , you knocked it out of the park !
There’s a reason I’m not a Trillionaire. I’d have so many cars/trucks for absolutely no reason at all lol
😂😂😂
Nice job with PUMA’s Joe….you are not a Teacher anymore…….You definitely need those PUMA’s driving the GT350R……Proud of you…..
That color though.... 😍
I want one is a beast ✊I just can’t swing it right now.Great review Joe 👑💎
Like I said on Instagram, that thing looks sinister.
You nailed it David
My Z06 License plate is. SNASTR lol
Thanks for such an incredible look at an incredible car
This car gets more videos in which it isn't being driven yet than I can remember for any other recent vehicle introduction. Wake me up when the test drives begin.
Oh I can not wait to bring it to you!
I’ve never been excited for a Corvette until now.
I guess better late than never
This is awesome 🔥
Epic ❤
(Is that a dryer in the back room😅)
Would love to have a big plate of Spaghetti and garlic bread while sitting in the new ZR1.
Dream come true
I would get one if could raiti 😂
I know how you feel
No Zonk for no Rock Guards on those Radiators up front ? they are wide open
a real bast ill choose that over the hellcat
This cost way more than a hellcat but I agree.
It would be a dream come true to drive a Corvette ZR1 joe good video 📸
Like a big giant car sized Ruby ! Love it !
I love it to!
Beautiful cars
I was just wondering why the ZR1 has no active arrow . It could benefit from a DRS system then it will be a true supercar anyway great video. Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍
Probably just trying to figure out how to do it without adding weight. 👍
Yeah if I had the money, this would be a definite purchase!!
Dream big
@RaitisRides 👍🏻
I love this car c8 zr1k look good real true and Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 💯
these days think I would pick the corvette in a lineup that had some of those legacy supercars
We were looking for you in Daytona this year!! Never found you 😢. Did you see the white ZR1 they had in the infield? Beautiful!
They really have out done themselves this time over at chevy. I can't help to think of the numbers it'll put down with some race gas and meth once the tuners get their fingers on it. 1400hp stage 1 package just sounds nuts.

That sticker was not Zora, it was Tadge Juecters likeness
Awesome + 1 !!!
Absolutely gorgeous car, ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful car. If I could only afford it.
2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 ZR1 ZTK Track Performance Package RWD Coupe!
I love this car. ❤
Why did I not see the split window? Was it there and blacked out? WTH?
The flag is a nice touch 👌🇺🇸💨
HELL YEAH ZR1 ALL THE WAY
Nice video….. no split window on 233 mph car ??? . Probably be a year or two before I can / will get one , but I intend to, go with my 2010 and 2010 ZR1 😊. THANKS
When will you drive it
Any chance there will be another edition that has ZR1 package with the E-ray package to make this an AWD nightmare?
Hell yes I want to get behind the wheel. 😂
The C8 Corvette ZR1, the apostle to the Supercars. Plz reply
You know it Luis
@@RaitisRides Yes Joe But, Why couldn't you go inside of the Corvette? Plz reply

with that price, 100% yes.
You are so very right about that!
Well done
Thank you for taking the time to say that Brian!
Good luck trying to get one
Honest choice Joe: your Demon 170 or ZR1?
really? lol.. which one looks better and can turn.. haha
I’ve heard this from Joe before. That aero creates drag. I would think that the more aero the less drag. Can someone help me out here?
All i wanted was a camaro zl1 garage 56 edition. 202mph is enough for me 😊
Beautiful car
Incredible!
You say that again
America baby! 🇺🇸 🦅
got the c8 stingray 2025 few days ago. out of budget but with to have ZR1 one day.
You still have a great sports car with the Stingray
I already ordered mine, but then i woke up.
Viper still has the biggest Rear tire at 355's
You are correct and don’t forget the ACR-E has the latest wing
Nice video.
Hey, Joe do you know when the zr1 will be available for sale.???.😊😊😊.

the birth place of speed think on
Heck yeah!
Are you going to do the electric escalade
Almost every expression or phrase was wrong, but still a good review. 😂
Waiting for my black on black this year
You are going to love it
Like Ford performance does GM have GM performance? If so, they ought to bring back cars like the Camaro and other cars that could fit into that segment!
Yes they sure do!
his knowledge is impressive 🫡
🇺🇸🦅 ZR1
in my opinion it is better than some ferrari
I think you are spot on the money!
I wonder how long it will take to find one of these wrapped around a telephone on TH-cam's "Super Car FAILS!"😵💫
Oh I’m sure it will be coming
The HIGH DOWNFORCE Spec’s Top Speed should be 224-225MPH , per a Corvette Engineer on SavageGeese ZR1 Video
