C7 Z51 Manual POV Driving

[@Steveleanr]

A true car guy, I have a manual C7 and love it!! Have no idea why anyone would buy an automatic on these cars... I also have the AWE, however it's the axle back touring and it sound amazing.

[@ddswoosh]

Yea AWE makes amazing exhausts. I don't have the c7 anymore I have a c8 now and I'm planning on getting another AWE exhaust.

[@jaydenmeinczinger349]

Including the automatic has issues

[@aircraftsandtrains2309]

I'm about to buy a c7 automatic because I want an automatic. I just can't stand stick shift manual on any car

[@r0cd0x]

i bought a 2015 c7 manual not knowing how to drive a manual. then i watched this video like 100 times and learned how. 😂

[@angeljesus875]

Im in the same boat rn bru. Bought a z51 not knowing how to drive manual 100% but I’m getting it down slowly but surely

[@sujalmangar5974]

@@angeljesus875Looking forward to buy a 2014 stingray same here not knowing how to drive manual😂

You dont see as much POV video like this, great work man.

[@ddswoosh]

Appreciate it!

[@jordana7145]

Love the burnout on the launch. Just glides back and forth so smoothly! Such a fun time.

Yes it is

94 on a public road is insane. Good thing that did not occur in this video :) Awesome car

[@davidcovey3001]

Paddle shifter extensions for the Rev matching switches... Lmao

[@MubuAJ]

Just for the looks ig

[@RandomLuckk]

it’s for turning on auto rev match when downshifting

[@davidcovey3001]

@@RandomLuckk Yes, uh.. as I said.. "Rev matching switches" lmao.. thanks for saying the exact same thing?

[@belchbat9955]

It’s so they can use the same steering wheel in the manual as the auto just cheaper

[@davidcovey3001]

@@belchbat9955 obviously.. I was simply commenting on how rediculous it is to add extensions to the rev match switches...

[@Contractnik]

So great - sounds perfect. Didn't notice the missed shift - just keeping it real anyway. Manual is the way.

[@toofast0253]

Good video-no talking; just showing the car. Although, I got a little nervous when you were going 90+ in traffic. People change lanes (or pull out) without looking or signaling.

[@ddswoosh]

Thank you! Yeah I wouldn't be doing this if I was in a major city most people are cool and move out of the way where I live.

[@YWUBHYD]

Lol who needs a Z06 anymore when the Base and GS models live up to the name just as well and actually offers 100% HP usability on the street!??

[@salah458]

loooooove when you send it to not get stuck in the red light !!!

[@VincentHermes]

7:02 oh that was so beautiful! That will be the successor of my BMW

[@pa60pilot]

Wow...another Laguna Blue/3LT Kalahari with a MT. I thought I might have the only one in that combination. Yours has the full Kalahari dash though...mine is a 2016...the year they discontinued the full Kalahari on the dash. Still love the car after nearly seven years as a daily driver.

[@ddswoosh]

Yeah this was a 2015 I love this spec. Sold the car though I have a c8 now with similar spec without the kalahari interior its just black.

[@romie7054]

@@ddswoosh You did a trade in? Hopefully they gave you good value on it.

[@ddswoosh]

@@romie7054 Could have been better I essentially just canceled out my loan so I didn't lose any money really.

Can’t wait to have mine soon nice video !!

Awesome man congrats!

[@donacianoc.sandoval2587]

Yo I knew that area looked familiar, you in Folsom!!! 🤣 sick C7, can’t wait to get one myself one day!

[@ddswoosh]

Yessir! Where are you from?

[@RED-WEAPON]

7:02 The car goes sideways. Would the same thing happen in an AWD BMW or Mercedes? Is it only RWD cars that suffer from this lack of traction?

[@ddswoosh]

Yeah that's a rwd thing. Best solution would be one of the G series bmw's. If you get an X-drive, you can switch between rwd and awd

[@salah458]

hey man its me again ! 6:51 a clean cocaine white e38 just like we love it !

[@ddswoosh]

Love the E series

[@boostedbavarian]

Cochise white, can't seem to find that color on bmw website 😆

[@001736743]

I have a 2014 z51 myself. Love the gearing in these cars. Does yours have NPP? What kind of exhaust is this? It sounds great.

[@ddswoosh]

I removed the NPP for the AWE track edition axleback but I still have the factory xpipe

[@DippinItUp1]

@@ddswoosh how was the drone with just the AWE muffler delete? Did you like the sound overall? was the rest of the exhuast stock?

[@ddswoosh]

@@DippinItUp1 AWE makes good exhausts minimal drone. I really liked the sound, it opens up when your hard on the gas but if your just cruising you can keep it fairly quiet. Yes, stock headers and midpipe just had the axleback.

[@Alicabain]

Love the interior on this one, did you sell it? How much did these go for back then?

[@ddswoosh]

I sold mine for $50k with around 40k miles

[@tevinhenry786]

Is there a name for this brown interior? I almost only ever see red and black interiors For sale

[@ddswoosh]

@@tevinhenry786 I believe it is kalahari. I had the 3lt I'm not sure if that's a requirement or not.

[@TravariLife]

🔥🔥

[@senatedocument2646]

I've read manual is less likely to get stolen.

[@ddswoosh]

Probably a fair statement lol

[@notbuyingit8047]

It really is too much fun. What tires are you running? I just got conti extreme contact sport and they usually hook first gear, even with the supercharger.

[@ddswoosh]

Im still running the pilot sport as3 the all seasons since i daily drive the car and I rarely drive it very hard but yea it is fun i like having a bit less traction so I can kick out the rear end if I wanna have some fun

[@HeadFirstFishing]

COOL POV

[@IssaSaabStory95]

awesome video! what are you using to record video/ audio?

[@ddswoosh]

Go pro hero 9

[@mikeloco5477]

Good video but the video would look better if you had the camera more downward and change it like to the Linear or wide lens but overall a great video keep it up 👍

[@ddswoosh]

Yeah this is the first time I have used a go pro so just testing it out but I will keep that in mind! Thank you man.

[@Simple5.0]

Don’t use the im wide angle. It makes everything look way slower. You want the tightest shot possible. The camera can’t even get in too tight.

[@PeterSchneemann]

What is that thing hanging front the front window?

[@ddswoosh]

Phone holder

[@PeterSchneemann]

@@ddswoosh Do you put the phone there to look at the map? Which model is this Corvette and if it does not have Apple Carplay, is it possible to install one? I am looking to buy a 2014 model (because it’s cheaper) and that’s why I am asking.

[@ddswoosh]

I just put the phone on there so it is not distracting having it in my lap. Only the 2016-2019 models came with apple car play so if you want that I would go with those years.@@PeterSchneemann

Yeah its a lot of fun! I actually just sold it this past month though sadly

between the magnetic ride suspension, and cylinder deactivation, ill never buy one. ever. The highest ill go is a C6, and that looks like grandpas car unfortunately

[@arsilightshd-arsenalvideos9736]

AFM disabler bruh

[@SargentandGreenLeaf]

@@arsilightshd-arsenalvideos9736 true, but can't even get a manual either on the new ones c8. It's just much technology, too much indecense, I feel like the C5 is the perfect one between simplicity and flowing lines. I'll keep building my engine up, and keep looking good.

[@romie7054]

Glad I have an automatic. It's too much work and wasted gas shifting down to 2nd and 3rd gear.
