2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Review - Does it Need a Mid-Engine?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Does it need a mid-rear engine? Are you excited for the C8?

[@therealredfireguy4965]

I would say Yes but I am Excited for I have one on Order.

[@StaneDaynus]

I’m definitely picking up a C8 once the markups go down. I’m relatively local too ^_^

[@jjsal237]

You know GM always cuttin corners for a c8 that costs under 60,000 grand and for every otjer vehicle in the GM line up cutting corners.

[@diskreet]

I was never a fan of the C7, but this video is making me reconsider. You made some hilarious jokes about the average Corvette owner, but ignoring that there is a coolness to the car. It's an American icon. Everyone loves a Corvette. I can't wait for the C8 to shake up the sports/super car makert but I'm glad the C7 exists. Definitely time to go mid engine, or at least go with a way more sophisticated suspension setup.

I track a C7 Z06/Z07 often, and love it. Not seeing any mid engine cars pass me with it. It’s a beast on track, and a little extra aero does the trick. For those wanting a manual, it’s just not as quick on the track as the paddles, or the new dct. If you like driving it for a daily driver, so be it. As for feeling like you’re going to die, not so much. It does give you the same feeling that the roller coaster does when you think it’s going off the rails, but doesn’t.

[@polarbear111000]

I drive my '17 Z06/07 all winter long in Saskatchewan with Nokian Hakkeppellitas. I have the A8 transmission, and wouldn't dream of trying it with the manual. Also, when you pull out to pass in the summer with the Z06 your only focus should be trying to keep it on the road. I can assure you, the A8 transmission allows you to focus on that task while allowing the car to shift precisely at redline. Do the paddles suck? Compared to my '18 NSX, yes. But, if you leave it in auto, which I suggest you do, you will lap faster, lap safer, drive safer, and get from 0 to 60 in 2.95 seconds....the manual is inferior....which is one of the reasons it's no longer offered.

Lee Douglas I too have a 17 Z06/Z07 but with a manual. It’s so much fun. Easy to use clutch, hill assist and even rev matching. It’s a super easy manual to work with. Those laggy clicky paddles are the worst thing ever. Randy Pobst got better lap times in the manual. Shifting to me is natural. It’s hilarious that you need to focus on controlling the car and you can’t do it with a manual lmao. It requires some throttle control, especially in first gear, but the monster grip and carbon ceramic brakes are of big help.

[@frankd956]

Drove a Z06 for 4 years. Basic LT1 with manual. It was a fantastic car. Sold it and bought a 911 S 3.8 no turbos. The 911 is a more precise car and gives you more feel that you are in control. Miss that feeling of testing the Z06 more and more since I could not possibly get to the limits of that car. The 911 I know the limit and it is manageable (except for the rear engine setup trying to spin you out)

Great job guys. Hopefully we will be getting a c8 review soon??? 😎

[@vernonprice5986]

C8 is not even in production yet. It's going to be months away.

Vernon Price There’s already many c8’s out!

[@vernonprice5986]

@@mtgarage8076 All driven by GM employees, still being tested. They're just not wearing camo any more. The C8 has not even started production yet, never mind being delivered to the public yet. Journalists have not been invited to drive them yet. Production won't even start until November at the earliest, probably December. First deliveries not expected until January 2020.

Vernon Price Thanks for you’re information, good to know, I thought maybe a few people had them.

Watching this 3 years later and just saw the old Tim's lid. They were so much better.
