C7 Corvette Z06 and Z07 Test Drive Review - The True American Supercar

The fastest and most powerful car GM has ever produced is here. The Z06 features many firsts including an all new 8 speed automatic transmission. Unfortanately, I didn't get to try the auto box but the 7 speed manual was fantastic.

[@terryrutherford2114]

So I'm 8 years late to the party. I bought (May 2023) a 2016 Z06, 3LZ, convertible, in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic, body colored vents, exposed carbon hood, with Kalahari interior. Mine is an A8 and I'm fine with it. I had a 1988 Z51 with a stick and a 1991 ZR-1 with a stick. I realize the C8s are great but I'm happy with the performance of my C7, and to be honest I like the looks better. Thanks for the video!

[@jeramiahgainey3177]

I have the 2016 Z06 with the Z07 3LZ package black on black, it's my daily driver 8sp with paddle shifters. IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

OMG, that sounds awesome!

[@y_msd1046]

I am a C6 and C7 Zo6 both cars are strong but the C6 Zo6 attracts me the most

[@danadml9710]

I gave up my 2008 Z06 for an open air 2013 GrandSport. Now they come up with a Z06 open air model. Damn my timing!

[@metalmikebot]

The price is unbelievable considering its performance pedigree is among the best in the world.

[@DeFreitas18]

Nice review. Should do more of these, more entertaining/interesting than the usual daily news show.

[@DeiHarper9361]

C3 Vette is what made me a Corvette fan before I knew exactly what it was. I remember a car lot not far from my house when I was about 8-9 years old (early 00's) and there was a white one sitting on the lot, as beautiful as it could be. To me it looked like a rocket ship on wheels and I had always dreamed of taking one for a spin. I don't think I'd ever fall out of love with them. When the C7 came out in 2014 it instantly made the C6 look anciet...for a while.

[@jacobreed47]

You do good, non biased clear spoken reviews. Thumbs up and I'm glad I subscribed.

[@Albertoepicness]

take a shot of liquor everytime he says ZED

[@rockettfabolous]

😂😂😂😂

[@FroopieLoopies]

The white Z06 with the black carbon parts is just SIICCCKKKKK

[@3wrapframe]

"Z" 06 not Zed. Only frustrating thing for me watching this vid, other than not driving the car my self.

[@Thelionfan11]

+3wrapframe Zed is the appropriate in the english alphabet : Now that americans calls it Zee that's another story

[@SpydermanGST]

obviously the guy had an American accent, not an English accent..

[@Vgk36]

SpydermanGST this is why it pisses off even more !

[@bougelaal]

3wrapframe zed bro fuck u

[@Sam-vs5kg]

SpydermanGST Canadians say zed as well. Also Australian's

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

I guess we should start calling Zebra ; Zedbras. Ahahah

[@thegigadykid1]

Hudson its produced zehbrah

[@knjpollard]

Zoro is zedoro

[@MichaelBrownPlus]

Amazing how many people get caught up on the pronunciation. So what I own a C7Z doesn't bother me what bit I know what it's called. The guy is doing us a favor by showing us his view of the car we should appreciate that. I could complain he didn't mention "weather" mode in the drive modes there are actually 5 modes + in Race there are several more internal modes. I am focusing on the positive in this review good job in fact you are driving my car exactly 2015 yellow M7 love it!

[@EverydayReviews2022]

My exact sentiments. Let's focus on the car and its achievements. Thank you. I definitely . envy you.

[@brooksreece7525]

"ZEE" 06....not "ZED" 06....I can't watch this.

[@YanaTheFlash1]

Great car review video! The new Corvette surely is one beast of a car. I don't drive stick but the one you were driving kind of made me want to learn how to. The car is ultra quick and such a great bang for the buck! Great way to show off all those qualities. Keep up the great work!

[@emenot]

Princeston Mitchell I started driving with manual but everytime I do I get a ticketed because I if I get over 3rd gear I am driving too fast on the street! My record is 13 one year in the 1970s in Los Angeles! and landed in jail every time after the 3rd ticket and finally lost my driver's license! @#$%^&

[@YanaTheFlash1]

Oh I see. Hey, subscribe to my channel. Im trying to reach my goal of 1,000,000 subscribers by sometime next year. It would really help...

[@nasatomi]

Review goes on to praise an American sports car and my fellow countrymen can only rail on the guy for using his homeland's pronunciation of the letter Z...

[@EverydayReviews2022]

BarbaryPirates Thank-you. Let's just enjoy the star of the show - The Car.

[@emenot]

BarbaryPirates But he's n Brititish!

[@SpeedDemonS7]

Everyday Reviews im as american as they come and i say Zed06 every time....from watching top gear..... people are just assholes anymore on the internet

[@jujagthemag]

I feel you dude. Why are people so crazy about small dumb stuff? It's all regional but the same meaning. It only shows how much humans care about nothing. The internet could be making us a more familiar people with each other but people can be dumb as hungry zombies. I can't even compare us to animals. There smarter.

[@Ls3guy]

z06 not zed06

[@MrZman0004]

Stop saying Zed!

[@THEAVERAGEGAMER13]

Jeez came to watch a video about a car and now in the comments I'm getting free grammar lessons!

[@Thelionfan11]

+Keith Payne Ahahahaha

[@reggier2343]

LOL

[@FloridaRaider]

I'd assume the Corvette chief engineer knows the name of the car.

[@jamesprinzivalli4966]

Bad ass car. I would love one in DSOM

[@poonpoonsmith399]

Great review!

[@hassanchannel439]

this is the only dream car of my

[@Thelionfan11]

Awesome Zed o six

[@tims9294]

Every you tube review I have watched about the automatic transmission on the Corvette says there is a huge amount of lag in between shifts. Tadge doesn't know what he is talking about and is just trying to sell it. Save the manuals

[@Residentombraider1000]

An awesome car :-)

[@WilmaBWaterlily]

YEP

[@Residentombraider1000]

***** :-)

[@ganeshgajavelli1487]

Dream car!

[@siikjesus]

Is it just me or every time he says Zed 06 do you roll your eyes..

[@TomyKV7]

Zee or Zed, I don't care it is my dream car

[@GreatHorsemanFilmsArizona]

Porche Cayman the Best Luxury Sports car in the world. Why because it covers comfort and performance better than any other car in the world.

[@emenot]

Is the Z06/Z07 a UK car?

[@artsbest1]

I wish somebody would allow for we viewers to hear the 4 exhaust sound setting choices the Z06 offers.

[@jacure123]

That's a beauty!

[@davidjohnson4417]

He doesn't sound like he is from the UK so idk why he keeps saying zed

[@loganwoehlecke3121]

Canadians say zed

[@jaikarchatha1967]

David Johnson most of the world says zed

[@DJ-iq7zc]

in usa two hands on wheel is no longer required.....

[@Skidz1818]

is that Lloyd from entourage ? i was wondering what he's been doing since the show

[@atomm7316]

Zero6 makes sense, z and than "zero" in spanish Zero6, I mean at least his not calling it a stingray which would have TRIGGERED me.

[@tornatic1983]

Nice vid, but there are 5 modes in the new Vette not 4. Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, Track

[@adounkhamsouk1802]

I drive mine eveyday to work

[@zackwilliams6756]

he must have just got done bingeing top gear

[@DawgBone]

Did he track that Vette in those shoes/clothes? LOL Auto rev matching on a manual.... and no DCT option? What is the world coming to?

[@EASTCAMDEN4LIFE]

WTF!!! STOP IT WITH THE ZED!!!

[@GreatHorsemanFilmsArizona]

For the money you just can't beat a Zed 06 Vette

[@VerisimilitudeDude]

Great Horseman Films (Arizona) Sure you can. You can beat it with a Zee 06 Vette.

[@GreatHorsemanFilmsArizona]

Lol

[@VerisimilitudeDude]

hannu reinikainen You're an idiot. The Z06, and especially the Z07 have already beaten supercars on several race tracks. That's independent testing, mind you. So where do you get that they aren't super cars? Have you ever driven one? It has more grip than most supercars and can accelerate (especially with the 8 speed auto) faster than a lot of cars that are even more powerful, such as the muscle car known as the Hellcat, which has 707 hp. There's a video proving it. How's that for ya?

[@DonnieDarko727]

Top gun intro music

[@andreasyiallouros6057]

American here , this Z debate is silly the vid is simply trying to appeal to foreign English speaking markets that pronounce it as Zed. i.e. more sales and more recognition on the virtues of American performance cars. yeah its weird hearing a dude with an American accent say it repeatedly but lets focus on the big picture here of what a sweet car this is !

[@FriendsOfTheRoad]

So stunning

[@notbuyingit8047]

Zed's dead honey bunny.

[@grantmccarron3963]

It's not complicated, click on his account and you will see he's CANADIAN. Canadian's say ZED like the majority of the other English speaking countries in the world. But unlike Brits, Canadians SOUND American for the most part since they are located in the same part of the world. That is the case here for those angry that this so called "american accounted guy" says ZED. He's not American. Many Canadian press were at this same track event. See the videos on driving television's website for example (Canadian TV show). You refer to it the way you were raised.

[@TWHISPERER]

What do they mean Z07? Is this a new model?

[@harleyshin]

Haha! It's because you said it too many times. The review was ok. It took away obviously from the way you kept saying "Zed o6" as the you can tell by the comment box. Vettes have come a long way

[@dtabarez04]

Fuck yes stop saying zed 06 please!!

[@kinginsvnity1986]

It's ZO6 bruh...wtf is a Zed06?

[@jaikarchatha1967]

KingInsvnity yep. one of the only country to say zee instead zed. fuck off

[@thegigadykid1]

Jaikar Chatha actually Liberia says both zed and z

[@jaikarchatha1967]

I did day one of the only countries and the other countries that say ZEE are counties that are owned or associate with the USA

[@tims9294]

MURICA

[@RichardJoashTan]

When will you try the 8-speed auto?

[@EverydayReviews2022]

It'll be a while before I get another chance with the Z06.

[@seantaylor2683]

why would you want to see that? Automatics are for sissy bitches who don't know how to drive

[@seantaylor2683]

Ill Conduct no, I mean people who don't know how to drive because that is the reason why 95% of those who buy it with an auto, will buy it with an auto

[@richardkomendanchik3743]

Sean Taylor the automatic is a choice because it is faster and you still have to shiftbwith the automatic with the paddles. The manual is a choice because it is easier to drive in the city and around town and offers a standard that people are used to and enjoy driving. The manual allows you more control which is more fun to people

[@emenot]

Sean Taylor I wonder why they call a car AUTO-mobile why not Manual-mobile, INTERNAL COMBUSTION-vehicle OR MECHANICAL vehicle? As I see it, there is nothing about a car that is SELF DRIVEN/AUTOMATIC!

[@HoneyDubey23]

Almost all of the world says "Zed" instead of "Zee".. Whats the big deal..

[@BlueonGoldZ]

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY and.....zed. I'm a Brit and "zed" sounds stupid even if it was derived from zeta. "Zee" sounds better and the guy who made it is an American and they say "Zee" so therefore it's a "Zee oh six".

[@Thelionfan11]

+Honey Dubey Indeed that's so stupid

[@BlueonGoldZ]

***** I have dual nationality you stupid fuck wit. If you look on my Google page, you will see one of my cars, a Blue 350Z and it has a Union Jack (British flag) underneath the Z badge).

[@BlueonGoldZ]

***** Nobody puts flags on their property of country's they don't have lineage or citizenship to. I couldn't give two shits if you don't believe me.

[@SpydermanGST]

You're right. An american saying zed 06 is as idiotic as a german pronouncing Volkswagen as "volks wagen" instead of "Folks vagen"

[@_-_-936]

What's a zed?

[@tonyoliveira4786]

Who fucking cars ZEE OR ZED it doesn't matter. Anyway if he said ZEE 06 everyone would still get mad.

[@navdipsodhi9562]

What's the difference between zo6 and zo7

[@gmansplit]

The Corvette Z06 has an option to get the Z07 package, which gives you carbon ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and a larger wing for more downforce, i believe it is an 8 thousand dollar option.

[@navdipsodhi9562]

Ai thanks bro

[@richflynn1550]

If you have to get a break job it's 13,000$ cf ceramic

[@4antastic956]

Letter Z correctly is pronounced Zed not zee

[@traindawg21]

Why do they keep calling it a Zed 06? every vette i seen said Z06 not Zed

[@THEAVERAGEGAMER13]

Idk man I'm canadian I still call em zee o sixes and zee twenty eights

[@traindawg21]

THEAVERAGEGAMER13 right dude, thats all i known them as Z06 Z-28 and ZR-1

[@SAAMIAM99]

traindawg21 Did you just say "i seen"?

[@traindawg21]

SAAMIAM99 Look fuck all that stupid grammar shit you and everyone else knew what I meant so don't even start with that

[@SAAMIAM99]

THEAVERAGEGAMER13 I say zed-28, but I would say zee-06. And I think my friends all said zed-28 when we were growing up.

[@spaggs111]

He was going slow AF around that track for that car.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

You're absolutely right. I'm no race car driver. I would have lapped faster if I wasn't filming and trying to talk at the same time. Car is very fast.

[@spaggs111]

Everyday Reviews That's understandable. Nice review, but, for the love of god, next time say zee, please.

[@jasheemalexander8104]

i heard the z06 beat the viper

[@87ferrarif40]

I prefer fixed roof on a high performance car.

[@MrMASTERPLB5]

Your Right it's America's SuperCar If you don't believe me look up Chevy's website & click on Z06 See what it says............Exactly America's SuperCar

[@troypower4733]

5 modes: weather, touring, eco, sport, track. Not 4 modes.

[@abxian4429]

quarter mile time ? faster than a gtr in a drag race ?

[@sharitcuello5026]

Bro el Chevrolet Corvette no es un Superdeportivo es un Muscle Car :v

[@tulsachief]

It has always been called a Z (Zee) 06 - what's all that "zed" crap about? Change for the sake of change? Where did they find those cutesy-trendy fruit loops?

[@mrbondfan007]

It's z06 not zed06

[@loganwoehlecke3121]

He's Canadian

[@nfshoodrich5114]

z06 make u think it the new zr1 at first

[@daves5765]

What's with the "zed" man? Why? This is an American car and we say "zee" not "zed".

[@gitrekt4822]

The world makes fun of us for saying soccer instead of football, we make fun of them for saying "zed" instead of "zee".

[@techo4Ugeeks]

just call it a z06, hate when people call it zetta6

[@robertrutherford9057]

Bring out the gimp

[@nogoogleplus]

Looked like a fun day at the track! For all those commenting about it.......it's simple folks American car, American pronunciation. Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@123HighVelocity]

Who's Zed...??? LOL

[@seanwahl2329]

You had to engineer your own transmission..... ? Isn't that what car companies are supposed to do?

[@DorianLBlair]

+Sean Wahl most companies that have true sports cars nowadays like Porche, BMW, Jaguar, Bently, Mercedes Benz, Austin Martin...to name a few, do not produce their own transmissions, a German company named ZF Friedrichshafen AG is outsourced for the 7, 8 and soon, 9 speed DCT transmissions, so the fact that GM actually spent the money to design an in house 8 speed transmission to fit into the space of a 6 speed and have it match the ZF transmissions in shift speeds without the clunkiness associated with DCT's at low speed is pretty damn good.

[@seanwahl2329]

Wow, great point. I didn't know that. I guess that makes more sense.

[@munkee221]

+Sean Wahl no actually most transmissions in most cars are outsourced to supplier companies as the previous comment mentioned....and its not just supercars that outsource their trans its regular cars too

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Dude. Call it Zed one more fucking time...

[@edwarren4877]

Zeto6

[@iceman5815]

This shit overheats so much u couldn't do more than 2 laps without resting it. not supercar

[@kubanskiloewe]

they said the 2017 model will be much improved in that, but how ? i didnt see anything changes now and owners with older models are not getting an update on warranty ??!! Chevy sold track ready cars but they are not !! They are even not able to run high speeds and hard acceleration on our Autobahn without loosing power and in the end OVERHEAT !!!!

[@Ckcdillpickle]

I believe thats fixed in the Track Package?

[@kubanskiloewe]

***** i dont know, yet. Our german dealers tell nothing. Perhaps they dont know anything what they get shipped from USA :D

[@jorgethebeast9433]

iceman5815 ford fans these days

[@MakisOfEquinox]

He says foot to the floor meanwhile sounds like it's not even 3/4 throttle.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Unless theres a false floor, the pedal is as far as it can go. Sorry to disappoint.

[@MakisOfEquinox]

Sorry I've just heard a lot more from the car, GM doesn't make the whine of the supercharger super loud like the hellcat or anything, but from ever other video you can hear it. Sorry, might just be the placement of the equipment or something idk

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Makis Equinox Its probably 2 things. 1. I'm using a pretty directional lab mike so it's not picking up a lot of ambient sound. 2. I'm in a higher gear when I'm hammering it. You never get even close to your fastest laps if you're filming, talking and trying to drive.

[@quickzilver333]

GET RID OF THE DOD!!! If you want to save gas go buy a Prius!! I don't understand why GM would put this on a Corvette.

[@quickzilver333]

Well they need to Engineer it better. The DOD is unreliable. Most of the Enthusiast get rid of them.

[@michaelwhittaker5624]

Who is Zed? Zed is dead baby.... Zed is dead

[@jujagthemag]

I though the same thing lol

[@michaelwhittaker5624]

Yeah that's cool....as long as neither one of us "bring out the gimp" haha....

[@Manny-117]

Was really annoying to keep hearing zed06 couldn't keep watching

[@andr3wloo]

LOL ZED O6 is always pronounced "ZEE OH 6" ...everyone says it, you should too

[@munkee221]

+Andrew Loo not always i've heard Zee oh 6, Zed oh 6, and Z ot 6 which is more of a designer terminology for the numbering....all of which are acceptable and show an understanding of the car world...but your right as far as what americans in general language call it...

[@kichansilva]

The way he said Z06 got real annoying real fucking fast....

[@rayzrevolver5536]

this guy has a problem just saying the letter 'Z'? Wierd

[@zachjohnson6445]

[@thegigadykid1]

Zach Johnson are you gonna pronounce European cars the European way?

[@charlieruiz5218]

I love all races and cultures and I am in no way racist I promise . but this is an Iconic AMERICAN muscle car and this guy fucking up the name 😂😂 it's super annoying

[@jonathanmcdaniel3081]

[@caleb180]

It's an American car use the American punctuation.

[@zomgls1]

i had to stop watching because of the Zed 06

[@Clubcarxrt1550]

This guy is a joke basically rereading the spec sheet to the viewers

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Yes you're correct, I do get my info from the spec sheets. With only an hour with the car, not much more you can do without making mistakes. Thanks for watching.

[@Roushh44]

+Everyday Reviews Im in Canada and I want to trade my car in for this, they wants 120k Cdn.. It maybe 85k for the basic Stingray.

[@FlatPlaneCranky]

It’s American. Quit saying zed.

[@EASTCAMDEN4LIFE]

I fucking hate convertible! Why you want a fast car with no roof or soft top? If the car flips you are done.

[@igloo7736]

why would you want it to filp? xD
