2023 Corvette C8 Z06 | Making Cars Great Again

We provide one of the most in-depth looks at the new 2023 Corvette C8 Z06. We talked to the engineers about the approach and difficulties of designing a 670HP naturally aspirated V8 in the modern age. With more exotic performance and a starting price of nearly $105,000, there will be plenty of discussions about how this resets the internal combustion supercar formula.

A suspicion that was confirmed earlier today as I saw Emilia drag race a Huracan EVO and a Ferrari 458 in her Z06 - GM came to kick supercar ass. They weren't going to compromise performance in order to offer a manual - and now after seeing what they have done, I applaud them.

Remember to have the Cup 2R tires at 24psi for peak grip. GM says what's on the door is for street use because at 35psi the tire beads slightly to increase grip in the wet since the slick portion isn't in full contact. For track use 24psi allows full contact with the slick portion and grip is maximized for track performance

When the C8 first launched, all the engineers were excited to share it. Now that the Z06 has launched, you can feel an emotional connection to the project beyond just excitement. This is what they were excited about. We all know there's going to be a ZR1 and a Zora yet coming, but I get the sense that this is the Halo car that received all the passion, the others will simply be a demonstration of capability. They believe they've hit peak ICE, and I believe them. I wish Gordon Murray luck, but when Detroit decides they're going to win at something, there's little Europe can do about it.

Things have since improved for me, and I hope you guys find as much joy in making these videos as some of us do watching them.

This stuff is extremely rare to have access to, and most development stories are from much older cars. The engine design philosophy in particular was BY FAR the coolest thing ive seen. Seeing how they put so much effort into the oiling system, and the scavenge system specifically is really cool, as it is generally not known how MASSIVE the benefits are to having an excellent scavenge system. There's a reason f1 engine designers started creating a partial vaccum in the crankcase ages ago. It gives so many advantages that are not known to most people.

You guys are becoming the best car channel on KZbin for real car enthusiasts not kids. This is like a documentary more than a review. Great effort I hope you guys keep it up and make millions because you deserve it.

They are the best for a long time already.

[@mauricemotors8207]

The details behind even a Nissan kicks video is actually amazing I completely agree with you

[@TheChannel1978]

I never thought of SG as anything but documentaries, come to think of it. Sure some of their videos are a bit more light hearted but they have a lot of really well made, insightful videos where calling it a 'review' just doesn't do it justice. If I want to reaquaint myself with a car I'll look for an SG video on it.

Guys, your videos keep getting better and better. This is the pinnacle so far. I love that you've blended high end production values with incredibly informative content. Its so inspirational to hear directly from the engineers involved, and to get some understanding of the hard work and passion that has gone into building this amazing car. I'm told the waiting list is 2 years long here in Australia, and we don't even know the price yet. I sure hope to get my hands on one eventually. Keep up the great work!!

I’ve been watching y’all for about a year now (Reddit’s Explorer hate plug brought me here) and my god hands down the best channel around. The attention to detail is above and beyond I find myself watching videos of cars I could give a shit about just because the two of you are talking about it. I didn’t realize how in depth this video was when I first clicked on it but was a genuine treat. You can feel everyone who was involved’s passion for the car and this project. Literal goosebumps at the conclusion. I look forward to every new video posted and know the hard work put in is appreciated and immensely enjoyed. Thank you.

[@shane1757]

Absolutely incredible documentary. The work you guys do is just on a totally different level - especially for those of us who love the engineer details. PS - I just wish Dell sold others the reliable laptop you made it with!

[@jhobaugh45]

I really hope that for Mark personally he shares the sentiment expressed by the Corvette team at the end of his film, that doing projects like this make it all worth it...even reviewing seemingly every small CUV for years. Thank you Mark, thank you Jack, you guys are absolutely crushing it! Also thank you team Corvette for making such an amazing machine and letting these guys tell the story.

[@kingn8dagr8]

Amazing video as always, but this has got to be the best one yet. Made me a little emotional how much passion is put into it from every GM Engineer.

[@MegaRetr]

I deeply appreciate this cinematic masterpiece

[@spelisha]

Thank you for keeping the hope and dream of what driving is all about, this production level is unparalleled, your clarity and inspiration will be in the history books for decades to come Thank you!

[@FXPhysics]

The level of care that you put into that video did not go unnoticed. Aside from the car itself, it was also a masterpiece. Thank you for your dedication and for not shying away from going down the engineering rabbit hole.

[@Abdullerz]

Outstanding video. This is some of the best automotive content I've seen. The Corvette team really knocked it out of the park with this one. With Porsche GT cars getting more difficult to get, I hope Chevy makes as many Z06s as people are willing to buy.

[@1Nightmare1UHQ]

You can tell how much care and passion went into something when you see engineers show excitement about what they are talking about, that sparkle in the eye. That tells you it will be good

[@uzyoc]

This has to be the best Corvette C8 Z06 video I have seen from a independent reviewer. Honest and technical…. Amazing. And the “In-Car” video on the track, I felt I was driving the car. I am placing my order!!!

[@skyswordsman]

Such an incredible video that is in its own tier of love letters to an industry, a culture, and to most of all, the people that made it happen. To the engineers, their managers, corporate, and everyone that touched this project; you all deserve the highest praises.

[@soflaav8r]

What a truly wonderful video you made Mark, about what will be a historically important and significant vehicle. You should be proud of your work. You are one of a kind.

[@airdromeaccount7922]

This is no doubt THE high water mark for this channel. You guys have entered some rarified air here. My sincerest congratulations on this masterpiece of a video.

[@Birdrunner54]

There's no denying the sheer amount of time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, passion, etc that GM put into the new Z06 (and you guys making this video). It truly is amazing and shows just how much work it takes to make something special like this happen. As a former C6 owner, the Vette just isn't my cup of coffee that gets me fired up to go for a drive. I personally couldn't be bothered with the C8 as whole, even with the new Z06. The more I see the C8 in person up close, the less I find it interesting or engaging as a sports car. That being said, I still appreciate what it is and how it's probably one of the last great V8's to be produced in this era of motoring.

[@gauge1127]

This was such an incredible journey you took us on! I've been steadily watching your content more and more and this is by far and away the best video, documentary really, you've put out yet.

[@noskcirefr]

You guys are simply the premiere auto youtube channel, and this is among the best (if not the best) video you have made to date. Thanks for doing this incredible car justice.

[@grumpyengg5978]

Truly amazing work Mark and Jack. Thanks for doing these in-depth reviews! I can’t wait to ride in one of these things one day. Won’t be able to afford one but certainly appreciate the engineering and dedication that went into this car. Thanks!

[@markjohnstone4914]

Have watched literally 100's of C8 Corvette video's including most everything GM has put out and I have to say this is probably the best video I have seen to date. Your attention to detail, and video making capabilities are second to none! Thanks for doing what you do!

[@josephshehan4763]

Damn. You guys are untouchable when it comes to being thorough and entertaining. Bravo

[@Jestraben]

Once again Mark, you and Jack have shown us what great video production is all about. From the first day I found your channel I have watched it get better and better. Now your are producing Documentary masterpieces that only make me yearn for the next one. Why you don't have a million subs is beyond me. Being that I have driven on the Autobahn track makes each review even more real for me. You are one of the few channels that I get really excited about when a new video appears. Keep up the great work and maybe I'll see you at the Autobahn some day.

[@savagegeese]

Hope to see you there, I'd live there if I could.

[@CarlosFernandez-gh2vk]

This was a blast to watch. The grin on your faces taking those corners speaks volumes. No doubt you guys had fun. Well done!

[@adamwilson2203]

This in depth review is so well done. That and the quality of the videos you make keep me coming back. The Lexus LFA video was a masterpiece, so is this. Next time I'm in Chicago I want to buy you and Jack margaritas and talk cars.
