Been saying this for a long time and when you add a $100k real world price difference, it's an easy decision to go with the Stingray. You can buy 2 Stingrays for the price of one Z06 and throw in a Chevy Bolt to make you feel socially responsible.

This video is proof that the Z51 C8 is already basically perfect from an engineering standpoint. The fact it has 495hp vs 670hp in the Z06 and was that close just goes to show the base model is far superior for the money, and the Z06 is basically pointless unless you own an airstrip or plan on tracking the car a lot.

[@terrywalsh331]

Mike, what a great video in comparing these 2 supercars. Just goes to show you how much the Z06 is meant for the track. For street/touring the SR is just fine.

You're going to see the real benefits when the C8 Z06 ECU is unlocked and tuners are able to tinker with the Helmholtz Active induction system and add boost. That's when you'll see how superior a 4-valve OHC head is over a pushrod two-valve. The LT2 has in its favor more displacement and a cross-plane crank. It actually makes more torque than the LT6 (470 vs 460 respectively). When boost comes into play it won't even be close.

I’m a c8 base owner. You can do better by using burnout mode. You can engage burn out mode by simultaneously holding both Shifters. This places the trans in neutral (effectively). You can launch at any rpm. You can use this to burn out in the base model, heat the tires a but. Allows you to dump the clutch at any rpm.

Did he use the Rapid Exit in the Z06 to launch the car? Remember Emelia showed it on her video.. It should help the launch on the Z. And those tires need heat, as Speed Phenom said it takes a lot to get heat in those tires.

[@jesse_iwuji]

You know what, that's a good point...I need to learn the rapid exit

[@philsalley3278]

For 95% of buyers the base, non Z51 is simply the best choice and effectively just as fast as the Z51 and probably the base car has handling capabilities beyond the driving skills of 90% of the 95% and the white HTC looks a lot better than the orange Z06. Add the massive markups on the Z06 and the fact new C8's can be had for MSRP and a base C8 is $100k less make it a no brainer.

Is there any weight difference in the cars?

[@gloriamaletta8667]

470 peak torque comes in at 5100rpm for the LT2 460 peak torque comes in at 6300rpm for the LT6 so in first gear from idle to 5100rpm the pushrod LT2 should accelerate slightly better and is the reason for much more gearing in the Z06 to try to makeup for it from 6300rpm up its a no brainer the Z06 is superior but from idle to 5500rpm the old style pushrod LT2 stumps out really good torque that the LT6 can't match until above 5500rpm my thinking is a good camshaft with stock LT2 cylinder heads that have been CNC ported and milled and compression raised to 12.5-13.1 could probably make 630+ horsepower at around 7200rpm and 500-530 foot pounds of torque at 5500-5800rpm at the crankshaft could possibly accelerate a modded C8 as well as a Z06 does in the eighth or quarter mile possibly better GPI has a stock CNC and milled LT1 head and a no fly cut camshaft kit with valve springs and pushrods with other supporting mods using a otherwise stock LT1 short block running on E85 for the LT1 Camaro SS that makes 590 wheel horsepower that has pushed a 3700 pound full weight Camaro to 10.3s in the quarter mile at over 130mph but I'm unsure if these same mods would work on a C8 Vette but if they do being it's around 400 pounds less than a 6th Gen Camaro SS it should make a C8 go 10.1s I've seen completely stock C8 go 10.90s in the quarter mile and a stock C8 Z06 go 10.50s

@Brink of Speed. Dude this was an awesome video. You show cased the best side by side comparison of the C8 and the Z06. What I really loved about this video is that you guys edited in the PDR videos. I have never seen that in any videos to date. When anyone is shopping for a GM Performance car the PDR is a must have and a deal breaker if it does not have one for me. BTW the 2016-2019 Cadilac CTS-V had them as an option, but the cars I've seen do not have it optioned. Also just a thought why does GM not offer Lane/Blind Sport monitoring on the LT1 it should be a standard safety feature as it is on the LT2 and LT3. BTW I am a new sub. Keep up the great work.

👍😊

[@rrace002]

I think it would be close.

[@nyelement007]

Yeah I agree.....get a base model and just mod it. I don't really like the Ferrari style engine. It's a corvete........... Theyr ruining the good Ole v8 rumble and roar...the exhaust and cams sound so good

[@rinaldocatria4386]

I’m wondering how the DCT will hold up doing that?

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Lol, GM build these cars to do exactly what we just did. If the DCT fails, it isn’t because of this, it’s because it was going to fail even if the car was a garage queen.

[@3pedalpodcast]

It’s quite simple really… pushrod engines make more Torque and bottom to mid range power vs a dohc flat plane crank v8 which would typically be all top end.

[@boogiemorgan]

Great comparison, real hp is hard to beat! Thanks for a great video! God bless!😊

[@BulletSpoung]

Is the Z51 geared a little bit lower than the base car. I have driven both back to back it seems like they are.

[@alexpaic2984]

Great content and obviously zo6 is the better car no doubt. The only problem is that z06 is not twice the price better. That being said I would rather buy two stingrays rather than 1 zo6.

[@philsalley3278]

Actually for 95% of buyers the base C8 is the better car.

[@alexpaic2984]

@@philsalley3278 the stingray you mean? Yes agree 100 percent

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed it! For me, the Z06 is worth it, just to hear that engine all the time 👍😊
