Difference between z06 C8 and C8 Stingray Corvette

Difference between New Corvette z06 C8 and C8 Stingray Corvette - acceleration, drag racing, sound

[@PhillyDee215]

I'll take either one....

[@craigthescott5074]

I ran a 12.19 in a stock C8 Z51 HTC in Vegas at the LS fest this year.

[@richardbingaman697]

This is the best Corvette Chevy has ever built, and waiting to buy the car for 40 years, believe me I know. Leach Wilson Chevy in Shelbyville IL is selling me, my build of the car. Aaron is my sales rep and he, as well as the rest of the sales reps, have been awesome. They are selling my build at MSRP, and as soon as I get it I will post it on line. These guys need to be commended for being so honest, and willing to work with the customer. They are way better than any other dealer I've dealt with. Most of the dealers are out for themselves, its not that they aren't making enough money but they want to gouge for more. I had one dealer try to sell me a used Z06 that didn't have the Z07 package for over $ 210K??? Golf Mill was the worst they told me they didn't want my build that they would order what they wanted and auction it off to the highest bidder. These guys need to be boycotted.

[@craigthescott5074]

Yea in Phoenix we has dealers selling Z06’s for $250K it’s ridiculous. Imagine what the ZR1’s will be.

[@pharoahmonk50]

Great racing!

[@Greenmonkey552]

Stingray makes much more torque especially at the low end - z06 compensates by having shorter gears and wider tires

[@MaxwellReviresco]

Perfect example how numbers can change from driver to driver and lane to lane. Red C8Z 10.7@127 in right lane…to 12.0@124 left lane. And silver runs 12.8@124 left lane. All spun off the line too.

[@matthew6202]

He does a 10.78 the first run 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ko7305]

No manual = both garbage

[@jowga]

lol when 2 corvettes are near each other gravity keeps them together

[@jpullins_]

Slow start for the Z06 driver took off wrong and still won lol

[@patrickking7297]

Big money difference sad for z06

[@labronlabron]

That z06 barely beat the C8. Add a few horses to the C8, and it's over!!!

[@nikosky4028]

The zo6 didn't take off wrong it breaks loose at the start cause of the power. Both cars are fast and beautiful. I think the regular c8 is a better buy because of the big price difference and only .4 -.5 seconds faster. Especially with the crazy markups on the zo6 the regular c8 is a better buy. The zo6 sounds amazing though. If it was a 20k difference would be a different story. I've seen zo6 c8s sell with a 100k mark up. In less then a week by me. You can almost buy 3 base c8s for one loaded c8 zo6. Some c8s still have 5k -10k markups. The orange c8 was also a convertible and still held its own

[@jpullins_]

@@nikosky4028 I respect that opinion

[@gaddyify]

I notice that too. The Z06 bogged down.

[@tflnorthamerica4585]

Both vets are fast but I don't think the Z06 justifies double the price or more.

[@kctyphoon]

20 years ago - that white Camaro was a fast street car. Kinda sucks these days that the average HS kid cant build a budget car in his driveway and mess with a Vette.

[@shots998]

Used MK7 with a stage 2 tune can get you into the low 12 and trap at around 115-120. Maybe not quite as good as a C8 but still fast as shit

[@swordmonkey6635]

The difference between the budget car and the C8 is that the Corvette can do fast laps around racetracks and pull over 1g in cornering. For a budget car to do that, it would cost a lot of money and no longer be a budget car. The Corvette is a superior all around car for anything double its MSRP price.

[@cqa9]

Nah I put tubular in my f-body didnt cost that much at all, think i did both front and rear for 2 grand at the time

[@kctyphoon]

@@cqa9 I bought an entire worked engine for $900 in HS. It's not the same now.

[@necydrivesdragsters]

Hey wheels what happed to the un fair drag racing video? I really missed it I watched it since I was 12

[@jowga]

love these vettes

[@nikosky4028]

Both c8s are nice. The orange one was a convertible and still kept up it only lost by very little. I bet the orange c8 driver was happy. He won 0-60 and lost by very little in the quarter mile. But that's cause of the grip the zo6 breaks loose then grips thats why the eray is faster cause all wheel drive with great grip. I wonder how the zr1 will be? I heard its a zo6 motor with the eray hybrid system, that would be a fast car with great grip

[@lukegader5211]

ZR1 isn’t gonna be a hybrid, they are putting twin turbos on the ZO6 engine

[@Bob-in4eh]

Why anyone would spend 25-50k over sticker to go 1/2 second faster is beyond me . Unless you just drag race your car for a living seems crazy to me

[@alinasser4722]

I swear believe me I have a c8 stingray and I’m getting the zr1 when it comes out at least it’s a better but

[@renaissanceman5847]

its not about the 1/4... its about the track... which most Z06s never see.

[@Bob-in4eh]

@@renaissanceman5847 agreed so why the hell would you pay silly money .

[@nucleararkndjdk9476]

[@TruckersTalkTv]

One of those c8 was running nitrous. Couldn't tell which one but definitely heard the engine telling on the driver

[@charleslanphier8094]

Big crowd, must be 20 people there. 😂

[@iroczinoz]

Low trap speed on the c8z. C6Z trap higher in stock form and forget about HCIE c6z when same power level as the c8z they trap in the high 130's.

[@theorderofthepurplephoenix3321]

I blame the wing

[@leerunion519]

Just me and my out sider view but Racing a car that's light body and designed to fast is almost always going to vs a heavy body car that was built more for safety and durability seems IDK silly. Now if we're crashing them that's a different story..

[@ericship8383]

Both cars could go way faster the base C8 is already a high 10 second car the z06 could do low 10s at 135 mph it’s fast for an na v8 car that’s the same territory as a gt2 rs

[@danmyers9372]

Wrong, the base C8 is a mid 11 second car.

[@damnthatscrazy9231]

@danmyers9372 base c8 is a low 11 second car, with 11.2 seconds on average with high 10 seconds in perfect conditions. (with professional drag racers)

[@doorkicker8507]

It doesn’t run 10’s

[@devonstorie2823]

*Could go faster. Real world bites again!

[@osos231]

IF the base C8 does 10s I'll chuck my ZL1 on the side of the road. C8 at 495 vs ZL1 at 650. The math doesn't drive. Base C8 doesn't do 10s!

[@knucklespoundingdapavement]

So witch one was the Z06? They look alike

[@wbdharris]

Z06 has the three point boomerang on the side. The base C8 only has two point boomerang.

[@wbdharris]

Red was Z06 orange was base....I could have just said that

[@thrilled101]

The Z06 can do 9.9 in the 1/4

[@nicholasferrante7167]

If they knew how to do burnouts they would be even faster. Those cars all spun on the hit. Especially the C8Zs.

So a guy at country club told me his Z06 was faster than my Lamb Evo Awd. ... ,ahhh no! No need to race him. I just showed him the video. I ran 10.2 and 10.3 all day in Houston earlier this year. Not worth my gas. Now maybe ZR1 will eat my lunch. We will see 2025. But my Revulto may be here by then.
