A 890HP Corvette ZR1 is a GTR's Worst Nightmare

Click friedrik.com/nt2 to get yourself the Carl Friedrik Scuderia AlphaTauri carry-on! Thank you Carl Friedrik for partnering with me on this video!
The Chevy Corvette C6 ZR1 MIGHT be my favorite Corvette ever. Insanely raw, a manual gearbox, and the monster LS9 powerhouse of an engine. It's got the feeling of an old school sports car, but with a ton of mechanical grip. Kyle Loftis of 1320video was kind enough to let me rip his absolutely bonkers 890HP Corvette ZR1 to the point my GoPro decided to fall off. So let me show you what the C6 ZR1 is really all about.

Honored to be on your channel AGAIN! Glad you enjoyed the SPNK BNK, it’s currently my favorite car I own and now you know why. P.S. the stock seats were absolutely shut, the seats you were sitting in were a huge upgrade :)

[@jacobzagaruyka7308]

Where did the new seats come from?

I love that Kyle is straight laughing in passenger seat entire ride, after he states he just got the motor re-done

[@ElysiumsJourney]

Personally, I love the C7 gen more, but there's no knocking the C6 gen. They're absolute beasts and look pretty damn good too! Also I can't imagine how insane 1100rwhp has to be. The highest I've owned was around 600rwhp 😅

This was the vette that made me change my opinion of Corvettes as a teenager. I hated them and thought they were lame, but then this came out senior year and I was in love. Especially after seeing one in that blue color they had in person. Though maybe I'd have changed my opinion earlier had my dad bought that Z-06 he was looking at in 08-09, But sadly he decided against it since he bought land at the end of 08 and he had been laid off.

Hell yeah I have an 08 ZO6 it's such a badass car. At the time I couldn't find the ZR1, or I would gotten that instead.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

My dad almost bought one when I was a teenager, But having just bought land and having been laid off made him reconsider spending another 70k. Who knows, maybe that Z-06 would have changed my mind on Vettes before the ZR1's did. A ZR1 in that blue color they had is absolute perfection in my eyes and has since I saw my first one in 2009.

[@LeaveNoTrashBehind]

​@@joshuakhaos4451 Hell you can find a ZO6 for under 30k, I remember when they were really pricey. For a car with 505HP under 30k isn't bad at all, with some bolt ons could easily get it at 900 horsepower. Hell mine doesn't even have a supercharger got it at 820-ish with just bolt on's, I can't imagine the power it would make with a supercharger..

[@brandonnunez3644]

Is it just me or does the c6 have such a beautifully distinct sound. Like even swapping the ls into another chassis I feel like it just wouldn’t be the same.

They’re not going to drop too much if they are manuals. My advice is pay the extra couple grand to get a super low mileage one. You would be surprised with how much a few k can make on the condition of car, especially when they’re all selling for over $30k now, might as well stretch it
