Being an owner of the C6 ZR1 and have watched every review it seems like since i was 9 years old. I would have to say this is one of the best reviews i have seen.

[@aleppo1]

Haven't finished the vid yet, but the fact that you are just talking with no cuts during the walkaround is super impressive. You're a natural

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

I did a couple cuts as I forgot some stuff haha but tried my best. Appreciate it man

[@876DJS]

Enjoyed the video. I own C6 ZR1 owner and I've driven the C7 ZR1 many times. The updated dash and technology inside the C7 is cool. But from a driving experience the C6 ZR1 is more raw and fun. Not to mention nothing can beat those smooth clean lines of the C6. The C7 has those weird lines and front openings. I understand the reason for them. But I think the designers could have done a better job with that. Just my opinion.

[@jimmycline4778]

I totally agree, that huge wing on the back of C7 ZR1 looks ridicules, I own a mint C5 and C6 ZO6 I hate the look of the C8 and C7 that’s just me though!

[@Everarmed89]

Really good video man. Learned quite a bit about both cars. And the delivery is solid, hardly any cuts and very enjoyable to listen to

[@oldschool6268]

Any owner of a C6 or C7 ZR1 is fortunate, I own a ZL1/1LE oem parts added and I'm very grateful, The C7 ZR1 6 speed is the one I would pick because it the last front engine direct injection and port injection with a 2650 supercharger that with just a few mods 1K hp is possible, that's enough to destroy a plaid !😂 Power to weight baby !

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Yes really looking forward to see someone doing a comparison and review and hopefully race with the c7 Zr1 and C6 Zr1 thank you

[@vinceblak4425]

great review man, really appreciate it!

[@damn-youtube-changed-my-name]

That 19 ZR1 is just perfect and looks like too much fun!

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

You should add a C6 Zr1 to your collection. When you own one of these you want to drive it nonstop there so much fun to drive. Imagine a built C6 Zr1 with a cam, headers, x pipe making 780hp its the best. I took my car to LMR (Late Model Racecraft) the best corvette modification shop in the world

[@skyline9789]

idk lmr reviews seem pretty horrible lol

[@mustang8206]

C7 ZR1 can make 780 with a single tune 😂

[@gsmith207]

great vid! gained a Sub! Best comp. ive seen on YT. Love my 19 ZR1, and 91 ZR1, and C6 ZR1 on way someday! Cheers!

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Both of them are my dream cars hope to own them both one day

[@StupidStuffSmack]

Definitely your most in depth video so far, Great Video!

[@m3gtrstealer]

I Personally like the c6 zr1 because it looks cleaner but i also love the c7 zl1 in that Sebring Orange

[@jonathanjones1814]

C6ZR1 will always remain kind imo

[@danlaur7973]

I'll take the C6 all day long

[@SDTZM]

never… C7ZR1 on top!

[@LordHolley]

Not if you won the lottery.

[@ahmodfields]

C6 will always be my favorite Corvette Generation

[@tonav1]

C7 ZR1 hands down the KING!

[@z-ra]

C7ZR's got the performance. C6ZR's got the looks and experience.

[@thesearch9048]

Great video! Really enjoyed the comparison between the C6 ZR1 and C7 ZR1. Would love to have either in my garage!

[@aSLOTHx]

A camaro ZL1 5th gen vs Z/28 video would be pretty cool🔥 Great video bro i just subscribed🔥

[@Jack_Vane]

Awesome vid dude.

[@JasonStrickland]

Both Vettes are awesome in their own ways. This deserve more views, nice work Mike

[@jimmycline4778]

The C7 zr1 has way way too much going on! That C6 ZR1 is perfect! It’s a total unit!

[@mainzer1115]

What a great review! Thanks! 🍀 The C7 sounds so good, omg. Sadly here in germany after the C6 Z06 Corvettes went more and more rare.

[@lilevilsoul]

the wheels on the Z06 are super gorgeous

[@redtesta]

Yeah, stock tire in that beast unless you ease into it goes up in smoke. Its tough though, the Michelin cup2's are beasts for lateral and the track but linear, nope. I remember when i got my c6 zr1. I had a c6 z06 and that was a beast stock at the time. When i got into the zr1 it was like a whole different warp drive. That zr1 beat the enzo, carrera gt, slr and gtr around the nurburgring badly. Think it ran like a 7:17 or 7:18 and even then there was an issue so it could have gone faster. On average it beat all those cars like by 6 seconds. Insane. Slight mods on the LS9 are all you need. Favorite vette of all time in my book. The torque is insane. Great review and reaction. Grab one while you can.

[@AMO_4KT_2010]

C7 is fire, especially with that great Halloween orange 💚

[@KenBlock43173]

Both are great cars!

[@Z06Johnny]

Your videos are so fire

[@anthonyvigneault3389]

i am looking forward for that video

[@dimmacommunication]

C6 ZR1 forever

[@bige7186]

If the C7 was a manual I’d choose that one but since it’s not I’d have to go with the c6 LS9 because to me the whole driving experience is to have fun shifting through the gears .

[@Michael-lz3bk]

The C6 ZR1 is still my favorite

[@GhaisSultan]

Cool car. Both still favorite car of all time for me

[@Socalmr2turbo]

Same here

[@mad_man_savage452]

Both are absolutely beautiful but I’m a c7 guy so I’d would go with that but the c6 is still a beauty and powerhouse on the road

[@ealieen]

Siiiick 🔥🔥

[@pain.497]

C6 looks better and sounds better to me. One day I will cop of these babies.

[@TheRobSJ]

Despite having a C7ZR1 myself and had C6 in the past, I still will watch videos like this. And while just about all of it was no surprise, I did not know that the Sebring Orange Design Package also gave you the bronze seat backs. Really kind of digging those. What’s crazy between those two cars stock to stock is the C6 ZR1 probably edges out the C7 ZR1 (with ZTK) in top speed despite being down well over 100hp. All the aero downforce and cooling of the C7 really hurts the top end. And yeah yeah the manual is more fun to drive in a lot of situations. But for any type of racing situation, that A8 is the way to go.

[@mustang8206]

C6 ZR1 is one of the best Corvettes ever made. C7 ZR1 is one of the best cars ever made

[@FrankPerez1017]

That C6 ZR1 is nasty!!

[@firegold763]

I think that sports cars with the manual are something else, but that's just my opinion, both cars are beautiful

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

I’m partial to the N/A 7.0L LS7 427CI V8 in the C6 Z06, which sounds awesome and with forged pistons is easily capable of handling 1000HP. However, I love the C7, but in Z06 form also, with the Supercharged 6.2L LT4 376CI V8 married to the 7-speed manual thanks. 🤤

[@user-iq9mn6lj6b]

BLUE DEVIL BABY!!!!!!

[@anthonyvigneault3389]

i lover both corvettes

[@gracestingray]

So soon C8 ZR1 will enter , but my money is on C6

[@mrprincetonx]

Review C8 corvette next

[@meadowz06]

Do you find your C7 ZR1 to be nose heavy with the bigger supercharger? I found my 91 ZR1 to be very nose heavy with the LT5 engine. Great review of both. Buying a C6 ZR1 soon.

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

Not nose heavy at all. I had a C7 z06 before and they feel pretty similar but the zr1 is just on steroids haha

[@Tain950]

I love both the C6 ZR1 and the C7 ZR1. I’d personally prefer the C7 ZR1 from a look standpoint although I know that the Auto trans leaves something to be desired.

[@griffielliott279]

I don't mean no harm but nothing will be better than that push rod V8.

[@KingDevilCharger]

Both are awesome!! C7 is my personal favorite 👍🏻

[@puppysayshi7848]

The C6 is the very last of the driver's car. I will never sell mine.

[@matthewburkholder1076]

Why isn't the c7zr1?

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

The C6 is my favorite car, I personally like that one better than the C7

[@choward874]

Gimme the C6 Z!!

[@chrisb_71]

Both AWESOME! But with the crazy pricing of the C7ZR1 I'd rather own the C6. And a good alternative to the C6ZR1 would be to pick up a nice C7Z06.

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

C7 Z06 is the best performance car for the money. You can get a nice one for like $60k. Best value by far.

[@grantwatson9232]

The 1978 C3 was the first Corvette with a factory spoiler, G

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

Ah you are correct. I was only thinking modern in my head (C4-C6)

[@Keyfobaddict]

NO you got it wrong WE HAVE 3 ICONS AND 3 LEGENDS .. aand also this looks like a new serie to the channel

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

Lol

[@zeroeighteen1463]

Both are great cars. But, as an owner of both, the C7 ZR1 is light years ahead of a C6 ZR1. The weight difference between my two is $150 pounds, What did the C6 ZR1 run at The Ring? The Domestic Proving Grounds - VIR? Or the fastest quarter mile time from the famous Will Farmer who owns the records for both? If you know, the C7 ZR1 beat the C6 ZR1 in all of those as well as everywhere else, as it should. As an owner of both, I like them both, but the C7 Z06 replaced the C6 ZR1 when it came out and again, beat the C6 ZR1 in all of those same categories I mentioned earlier.

[@poeticalvision]

The C6 ZR1 actually sounds pretty damn good lol, louder isn't always better

[@eranzamir1772]

[@superrones3952]

Hellcats love to eat Corvettes. I haven't eaten a C6 ZR1 yet, but C7ZR1 yeap and C8 yeap still looking for a C8 Z06

[@Crooze2024giver]

The c6zr1 actually sounds better. Was the perfect corvette all around with round taillights. I had enough to by any model and bought a c6zr1. To me it’s just a corvette. Manual and just the right amount of technology where cops can’t turn it off while escaping lol. Last of the best cars on earth those years as now to much tech bs. Nice thing Caravaggio sells killer seats for it and steering wheel upgrade. Mine smoked a hellcat redeye at the track on stock tires. He ran a 12 second flat at 120 mph. I ran a 11.7 at 123.5 mph and that’s Canada where we have crappy Air density and run slower than cars south USA.

[@FZNL]

I think that c6 is the one, and the white color makes it a lot younger. don't get me started with the rims .

[@W1LLG4M3R]

Both cool cars, but I'll personally take the c7

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Until you actually take it to a racetrack you can cannot conceive of the vast improvements the C7 platform( which IS the C6 chassis elongated) actually has. Each generation is a ENGINEERING improvement over the next, and GM AINT no joke. Neither car can be tested to its limits on any public road including the AUTOBAHN in Germany. I have RARELY seen either car fully track prepped and at the track mostly because the C7 ZR1 is a VERY rare car no matter how many you tubers have them.

[@revelare_xvii6269]

The new Z06 is already as fast as the C7 ZR1. Just imagine how mental the C8 ZR1 is gonna be

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJzNlHqgr7h3o6ssi=RUfHl8TIG_bTYhsE The C7 Z06 & C8 Z06 are about the same in a roll race. So no, the C8 Z06 isn't faster than a C7 ZR1. Maybe from a dig, but that ZR1 will catch up real quick

2012/13 it was optional but not upon launch. Unfortunately I can't go over every single little detail like the headlights options for different years, the neweer seats, steering wheel, Rear Spoiler, cup wheels, etc because then the vid would be over an hr long lol

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

For sure I agree this video is amazing I really enjoyed it. I feel like someone should race a stock C6 Zr1 vs a C7 Zr1 then a C6 Zr1 vs C8 Z06 would be intresting

[@chrisdeniro_]

C6 ZR1 or C7 Z06?

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

That's really tough. Depends what you're gonna use the car for. If you're gonna mod it, I'd say the C6 ZR1. If you're gonna keep it stock, probably the Z06.

I bought my c6 z06 brand new has 11k for miles now, nobody ever mentions the fact that it has an n/a 427 cubic inch, its a 383 block stroked to a 427, that’s a big part of why i bought it,just my 2 cents

I had a 2008 with 10k miles. About 2 years ago. Was my first manual car. Loved that car but my main goal was the viper

[@number36420]

C7s are erased from history basically nobody likes or cares about them. C6 is living legend forever

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

It's quite the opposite. C7 is the last front engine corvette and the ZR1's especially have earned a significant reputation/respect in the community, driving the prices over their original msrp

[@IIBM-1]

In my opinion, the C7 ZR1 wing does not fit the car at all, i know it’s functional but still looks wrong Other than that i would still take a C7

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

I hated it at first. Then I saw it in person a few times and it grew on me

[@devinandjim]

Gay 24:29

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

Trust me, I wanted the zr1 in manual but a comparable car would've cost me 60k more. And since I have my Viper with the manual, I don't need it as much.

[@devinandjim]

I do understand that it may have been cost prohibitive however, however if you are able to afford cars such as these it may be better just to save up a bit longer and get the configuration that you actually want. It’s a shame these cars came in auto at all. The second and third owners, the people who will actually end up putting miles on them and enjoying them will most likely prefer the manual. Anyone who bought it with an auto new most likely just bought it as a money car to show off.

[@jimmycline4778]

No Corvette looks better than a C6 ZR1 especially the looks of a C8 🤮I also think a C5 Z06 looks better than a C7

[@C4VETTELT1]

I like all of them but that being said the C6 ZR1 looks EXTREMELY basic sitting next to that C7 ZR1 that's my opinion!

[@MrCarAddictDCA]

I like the design of pretty much ervry corvette tbh, minus the standard narrow body C6 and C7

[@cas5247]

The C7 is too tacky looking. Too much garbage on the body.
