C7 Z06 or C8 Z06? Which one is for you? 🤔

[@gsmith207]

Both please! Never had a chance to drive a C8. I’m sure it’s a shitgrin the whole time. I love it when cars put a smile on my face when I drive them. Pretty sure C8 checks that box like all Vettes

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@@gsmith207 It certainly does!

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

I'm going from a C5Z to a C8Z. Talk about worlds apart...

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@Corvette.Ronnie right?! That’s a huge leap!

[@gregdouglass819]

I’ve had both. 2019 Z06 and now a 2024 Z06! No comparison really! The C8 is hands down a superior car!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

They are both really awesome cars. There are pros and cons on both sides in my opinion.

[@gregdouglass819]

Only cons for me is the C8 is more expensive and drinks more gas! I paid $95k new for my C7 and $155k new for my C8! Both were great cars!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Agreed!!

[@Hanover_Fist]

Thanks HPO.....C'Mon..You LOVE your C8 ZO6!!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Oh I absolutely do but the C7s are no joke!

[@10SecondZ06]

I love the C8 Z06 Z07 3LZ with comp seats and everything carbon fiber. I think both the outside and inside are perfection and the engine and performance are perfect too. I absolutely LOVE mine.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

💯 agree!!

[@2020matrix8]

There is no Doubt the Z07 3LZ is definitely the way to go!!

[@Brandonsgarages]

Funny seeing this video my coworker drove her 2016 c7 . Z06 m7 tonight to work and I took her for a ride in my car. Both great cars for different reasons I have to agree

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

💯

[@Texas_Clay]

C8. Period

[@tbuddy3372]

C8: Sharp C7: Bubbly

[@ggergg6423]

If a guy liked the C7 Z06, he could easily mod it and get crazy power, hard to do that with the C8 Z06.

[@2020matrix8]

There are four mods that you can do to the C8 ZO6 to get about 50 to 60 more horsepower but the sound that you get out of it makes it seem like you gave it an extra 1000 💪🏼

[@johnperkins6432]

I love the look of both cars. For me it would come down to affordability and ease of diy maintainance. C7 in a manual for me please.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Exactly! 💯

[@gsmith207]

Great vid! Nailed it

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks, man!!

[@10SecondZ06]

I’m here for it 💪

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

My man!

[@ramonddiaz]

Im ramon diaz from Florida and i will get the c8 only

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Understood! Thanks for watching!

[@legod1717]

Great video. I have owned a C7 as well and loved that car. My C8 is very different. Hey is there a reason the C7 has a steering wheel cover or is it just for protection? 👍😎

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Just protection.

[@Kingramela]

We gotta do this with the zr1

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

C7 ZR1 versus C6 ZR1... Hmmm... I like it!

[@Kingramela]

@@HorsePowerObsessed I’ll be home on Wednesday, let’s make it happen, both cars are black

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@@Kingramela Sounds good. Shoot me a text when you're back.

[@mjmalone75]

Great content and info

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@j.scotto8803]

C7 ZO6 has way more torque 650!!💪💪

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Indeed!!

[@MrChrissercamaro]

If could afford two of them, I would get a c7 zo6 with a manual and get the c8 zo6 for the flappy paddle shifter.

[@ManfredEWhite]

Nice video.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks!

[@carlos64030]

For me, the exhaust note from the C8 Z06's flat-plane crank engine isn't really a good selling point. I prefer the exhaust note from a traditional cross-plane crank V-8 engine. I love both generations, though. The ideal C8 for me would be the E-Ray. With the E-Ray, you get the body of the Z06 / ZR-1 and you can add a ZR-1 style wing and other exterior mods like a front & side splitters and rear diffuser with the bonus of having a cross-plane crank engine.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I love the sound on the C7 but for some reason, that similar sound on a C8 just seems out of place to me. The C8 Z06 is definitely the better sounding car in the C8 lineup in my opinion the crossplane crank just doesn't feel at home on the C8.

[@kjkramer70]

Stock for stock....The C7Z A8 is ABSOLUTELY faster than the C8Z everywhere except 0-40. The C7Z A8 pulls on the C8Z everywhere except 0-40. Done it many times versus many C8Z.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I’ve done it twice with two different cars on two different occasions and noted very different results…

[@kjkramer70]

@@HorsePowerObsessed Have him take off the center piece on rear spoiler of the C7Z and go back to Mexico. Huge difference. About a .40 difference 60-130

[@2020matrix8]

@@HorsePowerObsessed I do believe I was shotgun with you on one of those rides and let me tell you the C8Z out pulled the C7Z every freaking time

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@2020matrix8 yes you were. I’ve done it one other time against this car in this video and I can tell you the result with the same. C8 wins by half a car or more.

[@highlanderc]

18s came with forged pistons. 17s and down did not. 19s are the ones to get if you are looking into a c7 generation. They had all the goodies from the ZR1 minus the supercharger and port injection. but they have a better low side pump, better torque tube, better 8 speed, last year of the generation with all the upgrades.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You're right BUT best bang for your buck is still the 2017. 2019's will cost more, obviously.

[@TyZo6]

What? They are all LT4 15-19 with forged internals

[@EdwardDean-z4f]

Ive had people say they like C-7s better because the C-8s don't look like a Corvette

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I can see that, but in my opinion, the C8 is just as nice if not nicer.

[@seniorgolfer]

Are you in the market for a C7 Z06/07? I have a 2016, 7 sp., convertible, complete Z07 package, chrome wheels, competition seats, black on black, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 28,000 miles, carbon flash dashboard, 3LZ, stock. Got lots of pictures. $75K, and I will drive it to you. I live in Tulsa, OK

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Almost perfect! I am kind of looking for one but a convertible kills it for me…

[@jasonmceeable]

I have a stingray c8 which I find fabulous. How much better is the Z06? I can’t see paying 130k for 170 more hp. Maybe when Z06’s hit the bottom and they are discounting them by 10-15k I will test drive it.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I owned a 2020 stingray and I can tell you without a doubt that the z06 is light years better in every way possible.

[@jasonmceeable]

@@HorsePowerObsessed But is it worth double the $ . I paid 69k for my 24 !

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I would say yes. I think it is one of the best cars I’ve ever driven.

[@jasonmceeable]

@@HorsePowerObsessed Also since you had the stingray I have Awe Track currently on my 24 will sport cats make a huge difference in sound?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

@jasonmceeable I never put the sport cats on the stingray but I’ve heard them and they sound pretty loud

[@McIntosh1006]

First, lowering your C8 Z06 defiantly will make for a harsher ride. Throttle wise, you talked about hp, but torque is a big difference between the two cars. And I get why you left out the torque numbers. If you have $160k in your C8 Z06…. the 460ft torque doesn’t sound very impressive. I’ve driven both, the C7 Z06 feels more out of control from a slow roll due to 650lb torque. C8 Z06, due to roll-in power, feels more refined and in control. As of today, a new C8 Z06 can be bought at msrp. With discounts soon to be the norm. Base C8 Z06 is $112k. Add LT2 package and you’re at $120k. Add carbon ceramic brakes for $7k. You are still sub $130k msrp.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

In my experience, lowering it did NOT change the ride at all, I was actually hoping it would make it slightly stiffer but I noted no difference. Throttle response was definitely different on the C7 Z06, seems like throttle is slightly more touchy (NOT torque related when you're talking about BARELY pressing the gas) and I said Z06 WITH Z07 package for the 150k number spoken of in the video. 👍👍

[@Hyperde1st]

Dude how do you make so much money

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

KZbin, website, and my detail shop.

[@Hyperde1st]

@@HorsePowerObsessed that makes lots of sense

[@Bosszl23]

Why would you buy a C7 automatic, hands down it's C8 and much better in auto transmission This is a useless comparison

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It may be useless for you, but definitely worthwhile for others.

[@Bosszl23]

Worthwhile to whom? It's apples or orange comparison

[@realquiet131]

C7 MANUAL SHIFT - NO QUESTION
