FIRST DRIVE IN THE C8 CORVETTE Z06 w/ Z07 PKG ON TRACK! *8K RPM SCREAMING POV*

[@Callabrator]

Your mic and audio setup is absolutely on point! This might be the best audio I've ever heard in a KZbin track video. Great driving too! Stellar work!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thanks! Don't ask how much the set up costs lol!! 😆

[@Rice_Cake_]

@@SpeedPhenom thank you for investing in your audio! I've watched this 3 or 4 times and shared it more than any other Z06 video just because of the sound.

[@MaxwellReviresco]

He said "might be" lol. But seriously, I was thinking the same thing 🎶 👂🥲,😆

[@MrN75nokia]

The sound is stellar

[@yellowduck8061]

Yup, great job with the set up. Epic flat plane.

[@codyadams5182]

My hats off to the Corvette division on an incredible car. Well done !

[@msshelby8843]

Both of your new videos with the Zo6 & Zo7 track version were by FAR the BEST ONES OUT!!!

[@kdaddy3052]

For sureeeeeeeeeee

[@wikki11]

Well, they are cool, but the video from savagegeese was very technical and awesome

[@miasma19]

Agree, we get to hear the symphony and not some guy just talking the whole time

[@gtr485]

Ive watched allot of reviews today and you pushed the car the hardest ive seen all day.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Shake n Bake!

[@dinostello4563]

Your driving skills really showed being this was your first time behind the wheel of the ZO6 on the track and pushing it. I've watched all the other ZO6 reviews on KZbin and yours as always surpasses all of them. Thanks for always sharing such great content!

[@trumanhw]

Seriously. Impressive driving, great camera / audio, and incredible performance. After QE 09-12, the plandemic, the oz of gold something costs is an easier metric (to eliminate inflation). My '97 Supra was $47,547 (after the $10k price drop), and at $330 an oz, that's 144 oz. That ZO7 with FAR more performance would cost 65 ounces today. (just a thought)

[@Jstall7543]

That Engine Sounds Like It’s Straight Out Of The Race Car! So Sick!

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

The best POV I’ve ever seen! Look forward to more videos of you pushing it to the limit :)

[@SpeedPhenom]

Oh we are just starting 😀

[@ايادالدليمي-ف8ع]

You AREYOU sick no roots no civilization you not like me great Babylon kingdom I’m king and nothing found LINGS you live found lNGS and die found LINGS

[@charlesbissey9901]

It sounds so much like a European exotic… yet it’s red white and blue just amazing

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Dude I am always caught off guard by your driving skills, you’re an absolute beast!

[@JohanSalvattore]

This is the best video I’ve seen of the z06 in action. This video is highly underrated.

[@Keagan-Z06]

Great job again Austin! I like how GM strategically gave Austin the road course and Emelia the drag strip! Love it!

[@EEDad401]

Perfect observation!!!

[@SacTownLions0]

GM is getting A+ for the car and the marketing!!

[@WarriorsCherub999]

Yep strategically

[@TheSchwiz]

Best z06 video I’ve seen. Feels like I’m driving it. As someone who’s tracked my own C5 I can definitely FEEL this video. Got my heart pumping a few times. And the sound. Oh yes.

[@lvzmyvidz]

Dude, I'll have to admit I've watched several of your videos of your commentary on cars and I thought you were just a regular car fan... but after this video i realize you're a legit track guy with some serious track skills! Much, much respect! I'll definitely pay much more attention to your videos moving forward - especially your track videos of your own Z06 soon! Hands-down the most intense Z06 track video of any youtube tester, or any video outside of the GM testers on those Nurburgring videos! Great stuff!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Absolutely amazing content here Austin! Thanks for doing what you do and bringing us this EPIC video!🙌

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you so much dude! I really appreciate it. Hope all is going great

[@BrinkofSpeed]

@@SpeedPhenom You’re welcome bro, I wish I could drive a Z06 so bad! Things are good, thanks. 😊👍

[@everjeff]

This is what I was waiting for! Thanks Austin! Can't wait to see what you can do when you get yours!

[@SudeepC1973]

Beautiful driving. I can tell you got a bit comfortable with the track a few laps in! Interesting observation: Did you notice the GM representatives were very respectful to you. They were listening and not just defending their position. Ya know? That’s Classy!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you! Yes, the team is always very transparent and open to all feedback. They come as car enthusiasts like you and me!

[@francescooi1395]

Which Corvette c8 is faster the z06 or z07?

[@jspeed5373]

GM was right to give you the keys! Great content bud.

[@skip741x3]

Holy cow Austin! Absolutelly Savage driving, one of The most exciting incar z06 drives ive ever seen! giving me chills and im just sitting at my desk! cant even imagine what its like onboard!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Haha thanks! That's my goal! Get everyone in the driver's seat to show what it's all about

[@Mechaniclemaniac]

Damn it sounds soooo good from inside the car. Thanx for winging it up properly Mr. Phenom. That would be addictive and probably would end up needing it daily until confiscation and jail time put an end to it.

[@Larkc-ty5sz]

i think the sound we hear is from external mics, nevertheless its is flipping glorious.

[@Chris-us8yq]

Definitely external microphone

[@biggiesmalls7939]

That isn't the interior sound, there's a mic strapped right next to the exhaust. Surprised you couldn't tell lol it was very obvious.

[@Mechaniclemaniac]

@@biggiesmalls7939 Oh you're so right! I did see the microphone duck taped to the asshole of the car from the external video shots. It was one of those CNN news mics with the big foam cover on it that looks like a BBC but it had the black wireless transmitter box on the non business end that looked like a square ballsack. Thanx for correcting my audible stupidity.

[@Antimatter.]

@@Mechaniclemaniac 😂😂😂😂🤣

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

Austin, Just finished both episodes... Glorious 🔥 -Shane

[@XxxSPIKEx]

The only Corvette I've ever wanted. A Special car right there.

[@davidluck3539]

American Ferrari

[@ClubBlau]

Great job! Love the POV and audio. Z06 looks amazing, can't wait.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Oh it is! Thank you!

[@miasma19]

Incredible! Thank you for not talking the whole video like other channels. WE WANT MORE 8KRPM MAGIC!!!

[@_SeeYouSpaceCowboy]

Best POV I’ve seen. Amazing skills my man.

[@Texan972]

Of all the reviews I’ve seen this is by far the best. This car is truly amazing and can’t wait to see your experience with yours when you get it. Also, looking forward to this going head to head with the GT3. I think it’s gonna be a good one

[@mhousto20]

Great review. Too bad the dealerships are going to ruin the final act for a great Z06

[@bigd9848]

Amazing in fourth gear ⚙️ over 130MPH 😮crazy

[@garycross90]

Nice Lap! Thank you for not talking. That motor sounds great.

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Speed Phenom Absolutely Incredible Video I'm so glad Chevrolet let Test drive that Absolutely Incredible C8 Z06 Z07 and I can't wait to see yours on the channel

[@w3rdnama1]

Goodness. Ugh... This video is so beautiful. Shoutout to Chevy. The downshifts are intoxicating.

[@SlipStreamTV]

Those cracks when shifting are insane

[@wikkid1show569]

I like what you said at the end there. A true sports car that comes from the manufacturer ready to comply with no need for expensive extra stuff. Best said especially when the era is coming to an end . That car will rocket value just from the raw sound coming from it ...

[@zellodavis8453]

Really like your comments on how the z07 pack feels going over turn 3, my mustang gets really floaty there.

[@MrBlack_761]

Great Video bud! Also if you need more content you should make a new video side-by-side and do an in-depth analysis of the Lap times between the base and Z07 package. (Cornering speeds, braking zones, etc.) That would be interesting to see.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Totally! I'll get right on it

[@SupercarRanch]

Best Z06 video yet. well done!

[@SHELBY13GT500]

That was insane! Mad driving skills! Can't wait till you get yours! Love that car!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Haha you're too kind!

[@lengyeladrian1]

Finally someone who gives effort into audio when we basically all care the most about that

[@nathanielwashington9775]

WOW OMG The car is amazing but knowing how to drive and handle the beast is on another level!

[@jerseyjoe1677]

It felt like I was driving! Sick awesome video! Thanks 😊

[@ExhaustNoteChannel]

That was epic Austin! Your mic was giving all of us the real sounds we have been wanting on track! Thank you for this great video.

[@coryanderson5210]

Love the intake sound, the technology in the manifold almost makes it sound like there’s boost. Sounds like the throttle is super responsive. That motor absolutely screams! I’m sure the gearing makes the car super fun. Oh to drive these vehicles at their limits, how they ought to be. I find even in my little STI that the streets just don’t allow us to truly appreciate the potential of our vehicles. Thanks for the POV

[@twoweeledsoto6072]

The fact you have a C8 now, must've really helped you fully enjoy and explore the capabilities of the Z06. We always want a bit more power and a couple of tweaks in handling. Well I assume you had both those wishes in the Z06 fulfilled. Nice driving! Got my blood going just watching.

[@bobcraig3648]

Best Z06 vid yet.... riveting... thanks!

[@kurtmcmichael2045]

Absolutely great content. It’s impressive watching you talk about the corvette after watching you talk about other cars and what they could do to improve them

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thanks Kurt! I can't believe this is a Corvette still! Insane!

[@BazonBlades]

I'm thinking the new Z06 is going to change the "super car" market for ever. The Z07 varient looks especially buttoned down. I honestly can't believe Chevrolet was able to pull off such a radical platform change, so successfully in just the introductory year.

[@esco1578]

The track is where the z06 is meant to be & where it absolutely shines.

[@fastbladeproductions7961]

I've been waiting for your review... you of all people will know how good it is....

[@nathanaelcole8466]

It seems like despite typical FPC characteristics this thing has some good mid range torque! It likes the revs, but doesn't have to be in screaming to still move you adequately. A great asset on the track coming from the largest displacement FPC ever.

[@SpeedPhenom]

It has loads of torque down low. I was thrown completely off guard!

[@Rightarm_over]

This is America's best sports car ever by far,

[@pjbiggleswerth8903]

You made this car sound like what it costs. Good work.

[@jasonboenig]

I’ve convinced myself I need this car 🏎

[@DashRiprock576]

Love the sound of those down shifts!

[@v3tt3d]

Drive it like you stole it 💪🏽. 142mph on the straight👌🏽. So far the best KZbinr track test vid. How’s the feel Vs your McLaren? That GT3 vid is going to be a good shootout.

[@shamrock-]

That screaming banshee is ... perfect. Cant wait until you get one of your own!

[@JonPowersDrives]

Okay this car sounds absolutely insane….this video sounds like the sound of Ferrari sales decreasing 😅

[@redcapote4760]

You properly flogged it. Well done. The audio was fantastic. Thank you!

[@davidhavard1908]

That 2 to 3 shift is mental

[@Clint_Moto34]

Corvette is epic for making cars like this!

[@Zx10mezz]

Legend! Thank you for your review!

[@ghostly51]

Thank you for sharing, well presented... I was definitely in the car. Fun as always.

[@franklp2183]

Great vid and driving as usual SP! I really appreciate that you push your and the car's performance limits and share (in great technical detail) the experience. Thanks again for sharing your experience with this ultimate Corvette!

[@alexpocs8649]

Glad for the ride. Neverdisappoint!!!!

[@BenjySparky]

Austin you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

[@bennetulbricht9922]

Now THATS one epic thumbnail

[@mommaduck79]

Damn. Just like everyone else said, amazing audio setup. The downshifts sound insane!!

[@robertarnold1724]

Man you can drive ...That was fun.

[@terrywalsh331]

Great track review Austin!

[@robertmclure]

That's was insanely awesome SP! Great review!

[@revmatchtv]

Great track review! Z07 is the one

[@MrNufzed]

Literally sounds like an in line 4 sports bike at high revs.

[@asdf51501]

You know, I’d swear the production value of your videos is going up. Nice use of b-roll and music. Nice job! These cars look like they’re going to be amazing! I’m not a track rat so may stick with my GT500 (because I love that too). Who knows, maybe I’ll do something irresponsible and get one of these too.

[@Hellcat-pg5pq]

Just Wow!

[@zachbatdorff2685]

Amazing!! Great video

[@kasandrapurplekitten]

Incredible absolutely incredible

[@PHY51C15T]

I've got to have it

[@valdencorr2861]

If you close your eyes you're listening to a 458. Insane.

[@allbaugh04]

Amazing driving, sound etc. Curious what's left to mod on this z06/z07. Seems like it's one of the few cars that doesn't need anything.

[@time_on_target]

Best POV I've seen with the exhaust note! Excellent It looked like you were manually shifting the car? It also appeared to have a little bit of a delay from paddle to shift and some of the shifts weren't very precise/crisp.

[@mdjak3686]

Wel done, sir, well done.

[@micarta1556]

Man that thing sounds incredible in cabin

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Incredible driver.

[@bingster-223]

[@kurtjohnson7635]

Amazing car! Building my spec soon. Also, impressed with your racing lines. You definitely have experience and skills!

[@GODEYE270115]

This thing sounds like the symphony of debt for life 💸🎶

[@recon1154]

Man I havnt seen you since the camero review days good to see you testing the Z06

[@jmmch3358]

Amazing video! Can't wait to see it compared to the Porsche 992 GT3 RS

[@JamesBC524]

Just WOW!

[@Feh60169]

Phenomenal video. I like on the prior to last lap you downshifted to 2nd on the chicane. Well driven!

[@davidfink4963]

Wish there was a "Love" button. Cause I more than like it.

[@AJF4Me]

Wow sounds AMAZING!

[@adventureseekerdude]

135 in 4th gear. Heck yea! This video confirmed I need one. Awesome content as usual! I gotta collect all the last flat-plane cranks. Already have a GT350, this is next, then GT Black series, maybe a 458 too for good measure.

[@ivanviera4773]

The sound its nutts.✌️

[@CamaroSS1]

You are a great driver! Especially for being the first time on this track.

[@Holmquist008]

Awesome stuff!

[@nunnarij]

ZWOW!!! That was an incredible ride.
