Let’s wait till the ZR1 comes out to make a comparison.
ZR1 is going to outperform the Z06 probably in every metric. The only reason to buy a Z06 over a ZR1 would be price.
Every metric but driving feel. ZR1s, with the exception of the C4, have always been Z06s but with more power. The problem is, the recent gen ZR1s have been much heavier than the Z06s. The last gen ZR1 weighed over 200 lbs more. Plus, all that extra weight is now going to the back and the Z06 is already light on the steering and feedback.
I loved my Camaro SS1LE due to plenty drama, feel and speed. Didn’t feel the need to go to ZL1(1LE). Same thing with Vette. I think Z06 it’s the sweet spot for drama feel & plenty speed
Totally agree. Baring any major mistakes or goof up, Chevrolet is going to make sure (or strive) the ZR1 is faster on the track than the Z06. Chevrolet would be shooting themselves in the foot if the Z06 is a better machine for less money.
Sounds and feel for the C8 Z06 is great. I’ll stick with it. I’m sure the ZR1 will be great though.
There are a couple of key differences. The ZR one will definitely weigh more, probably by 2 to 300 pounds, so it won’t be quite as nimble. The main thing though is that turbo chargers muffle the sound of an engine. We’ll see what it sounds like when it comes out, but generally speaking if you compare naturally aspirated motor to a turbo, the naturally aspirated will sound much better because turbos are like extra mufflers, and usually the naturally aspirated motors have higher redlines.
Lastly, naturally aspirated motors have a more natural feel and linear response when revving than turbos do. They both feel great in different ways, but I’ve come to prefer the latter after previously having owned several turbo charged/supercharged AMG’s and driving some turbocharged Porsches, AMG GT’s etc.
But it boils down to personal preference, this car is going to be an absolute monster and I am sure it will be putting down some unbelievably fast lap times with all that extra power.
The biggest problem that ZO6 owners have is finding a Chevrolet dealership that has a true dedicated Corvette tech on site to do maintenance work or warranty work.
I assume the ZR1 will hold its value better, with so few being made. And I’ve asked my dealer to put me on their list, but only if it’s a FPC. I got my Z from Ciocca at MSRP. I love the Z06, it’s more than I expected. In manual mode it’s a straight race car.
What if SP is right and while it is a FPC the rev is lower? Will that still deter you from purchase?
@@edwardseok7183 I actually prefer that because frankly I’m using it more that way versus driving to the redline.
@@tgchris2222c8s have about 5 years until the year 2029 when GM starts c9 production. Many Zr1s will get made more than past generations
This reminds me of C6 era, Bigger 7.0 vs the Supercharged 6.2 in the Zr1. It's a whole replay of history
It’s hard to beat the responsiveness and sound of the N/A 5.5
Exactly!!!!
850 hp
TT V8
0-60 mph in 2.5
1/4 mile in 9.9 @ 138 mph
+1200 lb of downforce @ 186 mph when equipped with aero package
ZORA will be the same plus electric motor with total output of 1000 hp
I hope these figures are true! That’s a beast! Also wonder how it does on a track vs just straight speeds compared to Z06.
I'd rather have the Z06. Instant throttle response and higher revs.
There’s nothing on the road that compares to a Z06. I’ve had mine for eight months now and I would not trade it for anything worth under $500,000.
427ci with twin turbo's is going to be a weapon. Seeing the trans behind it will be interesting.
There are people who rather have a natural aspirated engine. If you cared that much turbo your z06 and it’ll be quicker than a Zr1. I also don’t need 1100 hp. Not everyone wants a track car for 300k cuz that’s what they will go for
Did you sell your Shelby because it was too slow compared to a natural aspirated Z06 ....now you are going in the right direction with Chevy ..... Corvette ftw
Zora will be truly spectacular if its somewhat reliable, especially if its awd with all that power. Zr1 is going to be the same euro formula of twin turbo muffled fpc with too much power. Nothing to get too excited sbout
Can’t beat the NA LT6. It’s going to go down as one of the greatest.
I just got a call from my dealer with an unexpected ‘24 Z06 allocation after waiting in ‘line’ since 6/2020, I had to pass because I was working at the time and couldn’t meet the his deadline of 2 hours to submit it lol..I guess what’s a few more months at this point, I kind of want a ‘25 anyway
The more time they take building a car, the more refinement they do. I would be in that same boat too if I decided to pull the trigger. Plus this allows you to actually weigh Z06 vs ZR1 vs Zora(?)
@@edwardseok7183 They pumped out 871 in June. It’s the backlog of orders that is making the wait take so long not necessarily Bowling Green.
I agree though the longer a model is in production the more bugs can be worked out, there is an advantage to not being a first adopter, but the disadvantage is that it’s not as “new” as it was.
Speed Phenom Great Video I definitely agree on those things about the upcoming C8 ZR1s and I hope Chevy figured out a way to keep that High Revving Flat Plane Crank Engine with the new Twin Turbo setup
I think turbo cars especially twin turbo or supercharged cars sound better with a manual transmission and less gears like a 5 or 6 speed since you can drop the gear in mountain canyons making it both feel and sound more exciting that deep rich Howell sound a little less speed bike and more future Alina other worldly muscle car sounding
I still would buy a c7 zr1 over anything if i had the funds to do so.
If the z06 is so good then whyd you sell it 😕
He complained enough about consumables as a track car to scare me off of buying a Z06. 3700 pounds and cup 2R is going to get real expensive when their toast after two days.
What actually determines what the best corvette is, has more to do with the intended purpose. A real track car would do away with all the bells and whistles while concentrating on optimum track oriented performance equipment. Which would actually make the car lighter. Unfortunately many corvette owners these days buy the corvette based on bragging rights, and very little interest in pushing the car to its limit.
true... I got one C8 Z07 for that reason I gotta think and some track/road course usage and then shits & giggles. I might be nutz but will enjoy the journey. Have and have had multiple fast rides mostly street legal for aggressive track usage. No tickets for 25+ yrs and I got a heavy foot when "safe" conditions allow and don't do stupid sustained high speeds unless on track then hell yeah once tires & brakes are warmed Up. C8 Z07 to the limit ?? We'll see... 8, 9/10's might do...
N/A>turbo
Yeah the zr1 c7 is better in my opinion than the z06 c8. The new zr1 is going to absolutely stomp the zo6 in every way. Might weigh a little more but who cares makes more power. They aren’t going to make a top trim that doesn’t beat a lower trim. Gonna cost.
The Z06 will 100% sound better loosing than the ZR1 will sound winning. ZR1 is a lower revving machine not to mention who the hell is even going to put it or the Z06 to its full potential.. only on Forza does it really matter Lol.
Power isn’t alway better, much rather have a slightly under powered track weapon than a heavy over powered one any day. Eray is prime example
@@2020matrix8 umm.. no I’m sorry I can’t agree. The c7 zr1 sounds so much better than the wannabe Ferrari 458 flat plain na car. Yeah you get less revs but it actually rocks you unlike that loud whiney high pitched v8 they put in it I’m not a fan. The zr1 has great down force and will eat it in a straight line and do pretty well anywhere for that matter. Also who would use this car to its full potential me 🤣. Also people don’t buy these cars to keep them stock some do but have you ever heard a properly cammed zr1 it truely is music and can’t be replicated. Today people drag race or they roll race or they screwed race hardly are they taking their zr1 to a turning event made for supercars. Sounds to me a turning car that’s slower with less room to grow in power stock that’s less adept at drag racing, roll racing and street racing along with modifications to be successful in those categories but with that c8 your screwed it’s just a slow car in every event that’s na.
4000 lbs, strut suspension, probably a 62-63% rear weight bias. I’m sure it may perform better, but with the weight so far back and so much of it on an inferior suspension to the GT3 RS and GTD, it definitely won’t feel or communicate very nicely. Plus if they decide to go the route of twin turbo LT6, I doubt the engine will be able to handle much abuse before breaking.
I will keep my Z06 and not think twice about a ZR1. I bought it for the sound. But I think that the ZR1 is going to be awesome.
If the past zr1s outperformed the z06 versions, why wouldnt the 2025 zr1 outperform the z06?
Save you 11 minutes - price.
Turbos muffle sound so they are much quieter. Since you won’t be able to tune it a Z is just a better car.for the track. On the street it might be a blast to romp on.
Here I thought you knew about cars seem like you don’t know sh**
Haha next video... "just bought a ZR1".
Zr1 price will be close to used 720s territory.
S0. Great info. ThNks
Your vooooice and speaking caaaadence are unbeeeearable.
I got used to it. Actually I like it now. Unique.
ZR1 sounds better to me...
Agreed
You would have the total opposite opinion if you heard one in person with a Titanium exhaust and high flow cats.. blows the ZR1 out of the water.
The sound that all of you are hearing on your phones and computer speakers are nothing like hearing one in person. They sound like weed eaters on these phones but in person they sound like a full-blown
F1 race car.
@2020matrix8 I have heard a ZO6 in person. Very distinct, but a sound I just don't personally like.
How can you form an opinion on a car thats not even out yet?
Austin, Willow Springs is for sale! Pls buy it!
Because one cost more how about that😅
The ZR1 does not sound like a flat plane crank engine with turbo's muffling the exhaust to me. I also don't think GM is going to turbo a flat plane crank engine knowing they have to warranty them, because they sell so many cars vs other super car manufacturers.
Buying a ZR1 over a Z06 right now only makes sense if you are a youtuber or have more money than you could ever spend. For most everyone else it makes much more sense to wait for the buzz to die down and prices to fall just like the Z06 has. This also gives you time to see how reliable the ZR1 is going to be, if it overheats on track, how much more it will weigh, if it performs better, etc.
It’s not the heat that’s the problem. It’s the fact that the LT6 is huge for a high revving flat-plane V8 and the vibrations make it incredibly unreliable. The LT6 is already a very volatile engine and prone to rod knock by design. Shoving boost at it would make it a death trap.
I agree with you 100%
@@blue597 man I sure hope your right although I’m pretty positive the red line is much lower than my
C8 Z06 which is 8600.
FPC sounds great but they sound even better when they screaming at 8000 or 9000 RPM.
@@blue597but no McLaren has more than 4 liter displacement. The reliability of Twin turbo FPC 4liter v8 is under control. 5.5 liter definitely not a good idea unless GM invented a new material.
