C6 Corvette ZR1 Review and POV Drive || The Blue Devil

The blue devil is forever the king of the hill with king Kong horsepower, go mighty ZR1 corvettes!!!!!😮 and corvettes around the world ,it's a vette nation and I've had corvette fever since 3 yrs of age and NEVER changing my mind 😂😂😂😂😂

Best looking Vette imo.

its c6, c5, and c3 they kinda ruined it for me with c7. i liked the corvette for the round lights.

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

This is the greatest Corvette made. It had all the traditionally things that made Corvette Corvette but it was the first model than smoked many other cars from Europe without being all wheel drive and was a true drivers car. I will never forget in 2009 having this car as my screen saver everywhere.

[@running2redline]

I’d have to agree! In jet stream blue as well it’s an amazing sight

Damn this is some premium quality content, wasn't expecting this from a channel this small. Keep up the good work 🎉

[@running2redline]

Thank you that really means a lot. I tried to step up production quality for this one and hope to keep improving. Glad it made a difference and welcome to the channel!

[@rhett5914]

The Jetstream Blue actually was on three years of the ZR1 (2009, 2010, and 2011 for a total of 465). The LS9 (LS7 ZO6, too) was also a hand built motor with the engine builders name attached to the supercharger cooler lid on the drivers side. All ZR1's vin numbers are in sequential order starting over each year. Great video everything you said was spot on.

[@running2redline]

I knew it was ‘09-‘11 and accidentally did 11-9 in my head without thinking and said 2. The hand built factor totally makes these cars even more special, cool to know. I’m glad you enjoyed and thanks for the info!

[@ejgrant5191]

Fun Fact....The C6 Grand Sport "Dry Sump" LS3 manual transmission motors were also built @ GM Wixom plant by hand....a fact that many don't know.

[@henryovalles1163]

Would take this over a new vette Dream car

I’ve never had to exercise that much restraint in my life, you barely accelerate and you’re at jail time speeds. It’s awesome!

[@jevonmaddox1615]

This car started it all. 600+ 700+ HP in cars you would have never expected, the Hellcats, unapolegetically loud GT350. This car started all of that. Am i the only one that realizes this?

[@titaniummechanism3214]

Love the C6 ZR1, ever since I drove one as a kid in GranTurismo 5, it's one of my dream cars. Blue with chrome wheels, like this fine specimen!

[@carlos64030]

Such an incredibly gorgeous car! A Jetstream Blue ZR-1 is and always has been one of my dream cars.

[@justinvanderschaaff5545]

I think I have watched EVERY C6 ZR1 video on KZbin so thank you for the new video. FYI, JSB was available on the ZR1 for three years. 2009, 2010, 2011 with 2011 being the smallest production number year for the color at 61. I read that it was stopped early in the year as some derivative for the color came from Japan and of course the country suffered a major earthquake in 2011 which ceased the paint code, of course I can’t locate the article now but anyways….great job!

[@running2redline]

Yes I noticed that mistake. I think I said two with the poor math of 2011-2009=2 years which is disappointing as I’m a mechanical engineer lol. I was unaware of the earthquake situation but that is very intriguing. Thanks for the info and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video.

HONESTLY I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY 07 SHELBY GT 500 SUPER SNAKE BEAT THE ZR1 IN THE QUARTER MILE LOL MY SUPER SNAKE RAN A 10.87 AT 134 MPH VS THE ZR1 RAN 11.00 AT 130MPH LOL AT ALMOST 5 MPH IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

[@Herecomesthethruth]

The C6 ZR1,and C7 ZR1 are the best American sports cars ever made

[@running2redline]

I’d have to agree, both incredible! I do have a soft spot for the Ford GT though

[@Herecomesthethruth]

@@running2redline which model year?

[@running2redline]

2005 for a road car because of the V8. For racing the 2017 LM GTE car is probably my favorite along with the ‘66 GT40.

[@Dragonrah]

I would almost say this is one of the most Underdog cars out in the world they don't get looked at for what they are In my eyes pure power and rawness at its peak 😃 and for me the best sounding Engine even with stock exhaust While me driving i'm only on the right lane chillin i love to cruise in it not like my friends they are all about racing n stuff 😂 i'm the chilled guy in that car have the metallic blue love that color purple would be another one i like but blue corvette because Blue Devil makes sense i guess Great feeling and response it really wants to get floored but in Switzerland its hard to give the vette the foot its expensive when you get caught 😅

Peak GM. Nothing can ever top this. This Vette challenged the best of the best of Europe for a fraction of the price. Every ZR1 since has failed to beat the European competition, despite the price going to exponentially.

[@calebs.2166]

Here there @running2redline Great content! I enjoyed the balance of technical with experiential! Are you the owner of both Vettes? 2019 C7 Z06 M7 owner here which is somewhat similar to the C6 ZR1 and overall I'm a big fan of the C6 generation!

[@running2redline]

Hey Caleb. First off i appreciate the compliment and welcome you to the channel! Also, no., I only own the base model and lent the ZR1 from a close friend for this video. The C7Z is a great car so enjoy it, especially with the 7 speed as the 7th gear makes the car so livable IMO (only ever say passenger in one). The C6 is great but I think the C7 mostly beats it on the interior side. Thanks for watching.

[@robertwayne1884]

Very well done review! Question: what are the sensors near the fog lights for??

[@running2redline]

Thank you I really appreciate that. That’s a good question, the owner installed aftermarket front parking sensors that beep a speaker in the cabin when you’re close to a curb to protect that precious carbon front lip

[@ZR1VengefulMMAGTS]

Great video and dang I love the ZR1! Wish I was able to find the blue but was lucky to get my low mile cyber gray. I would disagree on the zr1 dodge viper comparison @8:34 I own a 2010 ZR1 650 whp and a 1997 Viper GTS 506 whp and vipers transmission when they both was stock and current was way more friendly and easier to drive and very noticeable in traffic

[@running2redline]

Thanks for watching and the cyber gray looks great as well! My comparison to a Viper was to a 2015 Gen 5 GTS I drove rather than the older versions. The clutch and trans in that car were very heavy, and I probably should’ve said which year. I’m sure they probably feel quite different, but that was my takeaway from it.

[@icehook7156]

How's the legroom?

[@running2redline]

Plenty. I’m 6 foot tall and have tons of it. There’s a fair bit of room between the rear of the seat and the “trunk” wall so the seats can move back a ton. Thanks for watching!

[@HFSIR]

Love it

[@jpjp8203]

You did not show the back of the car, the trunk space, and most importantly THE EXHAUST NOTE. Revs and a cold start will give your video 50% more replay value.

[@running2redline]

I fixed this for my most recent C8 review, the reasoning was to not reveal the owners plate info, which I had no method of dealing with at the time. Since then, I simply take it off or cover it, and was hoping the exhaust note was ample within the POV driving portion, but advice taken that I need more outside audio. I appreciate the input and thank you for watching!

[@jonathantorres4085]

currently, I’m trying to save my money up for a 2019 Corvette z06 to zr 1 c8 are definitely overpriced right now although I have to say I did like the ZR1 2025 Corvette

Corvette fans may attack me for what I'm writing, but in my opinion, the C6 is the last nice Corvette and every subsequent one didn't have this thing. It's a pity that they gave up those characteristic round lamps at the back.
