2023 Corvette Z06 - What Does $170,000 Get YOU?

[@Howdy762]

what i loved about your drive is the down shift coming to a red light. that is what i love about my c8 when im not going fast. i jsut want to hear the engine man. ugh its so amazing. thanks for that

[@703Speed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@tomfaltash9634]

If you’re a corvette guy, you will know. Also there are many notes too show it would be a Z06. The elongated boomerang doors, the centre exhaust, and let’s not forget the sound of the flat plain crank 5.5 litre engine. Enough said

[@703Speed]

Amen

[@batmanbatman1298]

Ive owned 5 vettes in my life so far good and bad

[@howarda4242]

Finally hit 500 miles on mine. What a beast ! No video can do this car justice in terms of sound or vicious raw visceral feel and acceleration. I’ve had faster cars in a straight line but this thing is still a monster . This car is more exciting to drive than most of my previous exotics!! It’s incredible , believe the hype !!

[@greenrush4313]

sure thing shirley for sure

[@damont99]

How much you paid for the markup? No dealer around me is willing to sell it without 100k markup which is ridiculous.

[@703Speed]

Yes it is incredible. It can do it all. Ultimate experience

[@hb6187]

wait until you get to 1500 and can fully enjoy it! I hit it on mine a week ago and can finally open her up! Its an amazing car and one of my favorite new cars right now

[@studio-flash]

Nice video but can you please just say…” it’s a Corvette super car for $170,000 . The Corvette doesn’t need to compare itself to another car like the Ferrari 458 because it’s faster , better looking and a better price than the Ferrari. It’s an amazing super car with looks than are gorgeous. I’m British so Corvettes are rarer than Lamborghini and Ferrari here in the UK. I’ve not seen a C8 yet but even C7 are very rare.

[@JayFay_]

I love how everyone automatically compares the new corvettes to the lambos and Ferraris. I have a 3LT Z51 C8 and people automatically think it’s a lambo or Ferrari. I only paid 90K and people will still think you are driving a super car. If I had 170K I would definitely have bought a lambo though!! Not the Z06

All 2020+ Corvettes are technically C8’s. The Z06 is still a C8.. Great video though.. Freaking gorgeous car❤ Still waiting for mine…

[@703Speed]

Yes that is correct. I was just referring to the stingray as the base c8 Thank you! Any idea when yours comes in?

[@moisesm.4484]

Next time when you're at a standstill or in park or even driving it to get past 3000 when you accelerating pull both paddles in and don't let them go and it'll let you rev to the red line

[@703Speed]

Yes! The owner let me know about this.. I will have some more vids of this car in the future.. Maybe a Z06 vs Procharged C8 vid

Great video. You can get the carbon aero package without the z07 package.

I am on a dealer list for a Z06 and each video I see adds to the excitement. The only problem now is constraints on the Z07 option, so I am 'on hold.'

One thing I love about the Z06 is that GM will eventually make more than enough Z06 for anyone that wants one, youll just have to wait a year or two. Unlike porsche with the GT cars you gotta play the dealership game or pay insane markup if you ever want a chance to get one because they never make enough of them. The z06 will trully be a "afforable" sports car in a few years when the market is flooded with stock like the normal c8 now.

[@JayFay_]

I like that about GM as well. Though the Base C8 prices have risen so I can’t see them ever being “ affordable”

[@Marc-ty5sz]

@@JayFay_ True. They are not cheap cars but they come down in price eventually. On autotrader there's 164 c8s 100 miles around my area compare to just 34 bmw m3s and 25 718 caymans. The C8s are sitting in lots and not selling, these stealerships will need to lower the price eventually.

[@JayFay_]

@Marc You are right Marc!!

[@craigthescott5074]

Yep I totally agree there should be a fairly large used market in a few years. I’ve got a C8 HTC Z51 that I will drive until I can pick up a Z06 used with 10K miles.

[@joeg509]

I don't think so, they keep z06 builda at about 10% of c8 builds...there will never be enough z06 s for the amount of ppl who want one.

[@abc-ov4oh]

Beautiful color, on camera has a light blue tint, does it have a blue tint to it in person?

[@Kevin-u8h5e]

Don’t get why Chevy doesn’t have an integrated infotainment dash screen this one is better than the ZL1s but you’d think for $170K they could come up w something more elegant and sophisticated.

[@703Speed]

Had to save some money somewhere to get a great performing car.. That R&D for motor and chassis is not cheap especially when its an all new platform

[@royrauch9775]

In case any Z06 owner doesn't know a Z06 just did a quarter mile in 9.98 seconds at 135MPH with drag radials....check youtube for video!

$170k doesn't get you a Z06 because @Chevrolet can't keep it's dealers in check.

[@Pmtd1234]

I am at list price when I get mine. The top dealers are selling at MSRP.

[@mysweetvideo]

…ANYINE that knows C8’s, knows the larger full size SIDE “boomerang”, front facia, and rear center exhaust pipes are clear indicators that it’s a Z06, not to mention the “Z06” emblem on the sides 😂 😊

[@Biggev77]

If you get the Zo7 package, do you have to get that wing? the stock small wing looks better

[@mshk999]

Tears in my eyes ❤

[@amiller2121]

I love the look of the adrenaline dipped interior but I really worry about the reflection on to the windshield. I don't know if I could get it for that reason. I wish Chevy had not extended the red so close to the glass.

[@703Speed]

It looks sweet, just depends on how the sun is hitting the dash. Would you have rather had it be black in that area?

[@1986hvwchampion]

I guess that justifies the price tag . You can always argue, " But it's a 9 sec. car!" At least,

[@brandonbaker6472]

So I want this exact car minus the aero wing and front splinter, that possible?

[@703Speed]

I believe so yes

[@Pmtd1234]

The wing and splitter are part of the Z07 option. So you save $$$.

[@phillippugh2161]

The ceramic brake option is a waste of money unless you're planning to track your car they don't start working until you put tons of heat in them just go with the steel vented brakes

The Stingray is a great car. The Z06 is a whole other car driving wise. I hope your 4 years goes by quickly lol. Maybe there’s another dealer you can get one sooner at, but these are very hard to come by. The owner said they’ve only made like 1,200 Z06’s

More to a fine car than 0/60 or track. Buying corvettes with outrageous over sticker prices is not too bright. Sooner or later there will be an abundance of them and buyers will be upside down on their loans.

@@djfrankib45 back window down or top down is louder to me but I have young ears yet. Htc only adds 100 lbs, ccb and light wheels offset that easy. 1lz and 3lz weigh different as well, I won't be cheaping out going coupe over htc after having both. Both are topless experiences but htc is so much better, no way I'll go back to coupe, I like having top down. Besides the only other mid engine htc are ferrari and McLaren, that's it.

[@djfrankib45]

@@vettesweetnos Well for me the more customization of the engine bay on the coupe did it for me. All of the engine dress up carbon fiber that's offered. None of that you will see on the HTC. Also just being able to turn my head and see it in a Chevy is still unheard of to me. I'm usually a top down guy. But you get a little of everything with a coupe. Different strokes for different folks. 😊

[@vettesweetnos]

@@djfrankib45 yah, if I was tracking I'd go for a z07 coupe but mine will only see the street so z06 htc for me, maybe wheels and exhaust later. Already have scrape armor, ppf, ceramic, and tint. Plus at 6'6" there's a little more room in htc.

[@danmccaffrey4115]

What does $170,000 get you, NOT MUCH! These cars are junk, don't buy one! The very same day I took delivery of my 2023 Corvette Z06, and babied it on the way home, multiple systems failed, and the car crapped out, and had to be towed back to the dealership. Catastrophic failure of the left front shock assembly spewed hydraulic fluid all over my driveway, transmission surging and jerking, front lift inoperable and throwing a code, AC didn't work, and the car does not respond to key FOB commands. The technician at the shop confirmed all these problems and then the manager at the Chevy dealership said it would be weeks before he could get a shock assembly to make repairs. Completely ridiculous and unacceptable, and when I called GM and told them what happened to a brand-new car, I got nothing, but, "you'll just have to wait." I've hired a Lemon law attorney to get my money back. GM rushed to get these cars out the factory door and it shows, no quality control and poor workmanship.
