MODDING My BRAND NEW 2024 C8 Z06 While Trying to Reach the 500 Mile Break-In!!

Beautiful ZO6 Chris, my only complaint is that the Z06 has basically doubled in price from a high 60k car with the C6 generation to low to mid 100k car in 11 years, this has taken the "workin man" out of contention

[@mogulme6190]

The base car is basically as good as the old z06 though…. Plus it’s the way everything is… hell you can’t even eat at McDonald’s with a dollar anymore. We keep on letting the government get away with fucking us though …so 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@jimsteinway695]

I hear ya but try to buy any Ford sports car. The GT is over a million. The new Mustang GTD is $400,000 . Chevy is the only maker making cars worth a dam. The Camaro ZL1 1LE is a great starting point

[@mdmoore23]

​@jimsteinway695 The ZL1 is dead now though, so that's a moot point. I had a 2017 ZL1 and it was indeed a great car. Chevy should still be making the Camaro. People need to wake up and realize what's happening here. The climate alarmists government is literally destroying the car enthusiast hobby. If Ford can continue the Mustange, then GM could've continued the Camaro.

Fellow NH native here. I discovered your channel through the blue Terminator and started noticing that the scenery in a lot of your POV videos looked familiar. It wasn't until a few months ago when you uploaded a video in which you travelled through Hudson NH (on the circumferential highway I believe) that I realized you were local-ish. I drive to Hudson pretty often and while I know you don't actually live in town, I still keep an eye out on the nice days for your cars whenever I head that way lol. I see you made your way up to Winnipesaukee, which is in my neck of the woods. One of these days I'm sure I'll spot you somewhere 🤘🤘

Just subscribed. Very nice to see young corvette enthusiasts. I’m somewhat of an old fart and fell in love with Corvette in 1964 at 8 years of age. Just took delivery of my 2024 Sea Wolf grey Z06 HTC from Rick Conti at Coughlin Chevrolet. This car is fantastic and a blast to dive. My current stable in addition to the new Z06 is 2021 Z51 HTC in Shadow grey; 2017 Shelby GT350R; and 2011 Shelby GT350 45th anniversary built at Shelby in Las Vegas. Wish you success with the KZbin channel.

Side note get PPF as I have it on my 16 ATSV and it works. they have a track pack that does hood and trunk down. I got that and would suggest whole car, I know its $$ but I got a chip on my roof line at windshield connection. My car is 1 of 900 with Crystal White Matte Tintcoat. HorsePower Obsessed has full PPF on his and showed recently how it saved his car from damage as it took the impact of a exhaust hanger that fell off his buddies car i front of him and hit his front splitter.

I’ve already gotten acs composite front splash cards because the fit and finish was superb and the front price difference wasn’t enough. But I’m looking to do rear guards now. Based on the damaged area you showed the eos one won’t prevent it. The acs appear to stick down below the wheel well and out to the side where eos is only on the side. Having a hard time swallowing the acs price but it looks necessary.

First mod should b a seatbelt upgrade, As of June 11, 2024, General Motors (GM) has issued a recall for 13,464 2024 and 2025 C8 Corvette models due to faulty seat belts. The recall notice states that the driver and/or passenger seat belt retractors may lock in a stowed position, making it impossible to wear the belts correctly. This could increase the risk of injury for drivers and passengers. GM does not currently have the parts in stock to make the repairs, but dealers will make the repairs free of charge when parts are available.

Entered a busy parking lot 2 days ago with my 2022 Sierra 1500 AT4X. It's full PPF'd. Parked beside this contractor truck. 30 seconds later, a kid runs up to the back door of the truck beside me and whips the door open hard into the side of my truck. PPF saves the paint. I'll never not PPF after that experience. I agree with not tailgating, tho

[@ChrisSullivan69]

This is why I always park way way in the back haha. Full PPF is nice but $$$$

You've got a good piece of land. I think we need an MX/ATV build 😉 Also, not sure I 100% trust that front splash guard. Just PPF the rear rockers, front bumper, roof, and mirrors bro. Definitely worth it. Not a big deal, and the only thing you'll kinda see IF YOU'RE UP CLOSE to it is the rear rocker "line" like you talked about. Well worth it for a 6 figure car IMO. I had PPF on my old 98 supra and boy was it a relief. As you could imagine I was already nervous about driving that car and parking it around other people, but it was soooo worth it dude
