How I FIXED What I Didn't Like About My 2023 C8 Corvette Z06!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I had a lot of people asking for this video so here it is! ALL of the mods I've done so far to my C8 Corvette Z06! All of the links are in the description for parts used! What do you guys think of it so far? 🤔

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

PROPS to be able to cover 30 mods in only a 12 minute video!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

lol I had to fly through it!

[@IILebotII]

It's crazy how your 30 mods and accessories still provide a tasteful yet aggressive look that a corvette should have. Then there is the exhaust 🤗🫠(I think it speaks for itself. Planning on getting a C8 stingray soon so this vid was really helpful for me while I plan out and budget my spec list. Awesome vid!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I appreciate that! Thank you! You’re gonna love the car!!

[@larryanthony1861]

Hey Justin, Shout-out to you for this truly comprehensive summary. This and the individual “how-to” uploads behind each mod gives your Subscribers (and future Subscribers!) a fantastic blueprint on how to customize their C8s/C8 Z06s. To all who view these clips, you need to appreciate what goes into creating this free content. It doesn’t fall out of the sky. This man epitomizes, IMO, the best car Chevrolet has ever made. Giving him a “thumbs-up” is a start in saying thanks. Showing true support means sending Justin anything you can comfortably afford ($5, $10, $20 / more) to his Venmo account…..I like to thank and support HPO. Keep it coming, man!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Wow. Larry, thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot as does our friendship. You've become such a great friend over the last year or so and I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything!

[@paulm7267]

It has been fun watching you do these upgrades over the past year. It looks fantastic Justin!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

Nice job, Justin. The only thing I want is the same car cover and the pixel build plaque - very cool! Already have the Swedish made ProClip.

[@bugpumper]

Wow!!!!! Each segment of this video was great, but the audio clip at the end ..just WOW!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Glad you enjoyed it! AWE knocked it out of the park with their exhaust!

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Paragon released horsepower numbers on the Eventuri, and its staggering. Rear wheel drives set up apparently is the deal.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I knew the Eventuri intake was the way to go for a while now! Will definitely be picking one up.

[@dbmracing2019]

We have one of the first 20 coming with ship date 2/6 according to Korey at Paragon. Will be QUICKLY followed by install video, review, and dyno. We did the same thing with first paragon exhaust for Z06 on KZbin.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

@@dbmracing2019 I would go with the rearwheeldrive setup with Soler throttle bodies. His set up is too transformative to ignore in the sports car world.

Not yet, I ran into another issue with my C7 that's going to have to be taken care of too. Stay tuned!

Awesome! Thank you! Can't wait to see what you do to yours!!

[@chrismarr4586]

I purchased the black titanium lug nuts from Paragon but am not happy with the unpainted area around the nut that you see (nuts are smaller 19mm vs 22mm). Did you have this same issue?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I did with the stock wheels but higher quality aftermarket wheels paint right up to the lug holes. It didn't bother me too much on the factory wheel though because you have to get down pretty low to see it anyway.

[@chrismarr4586]

@ thank you for prompt feedback. I love your videos and have found them very helpful as a new owner.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I appreciate it. I'm happy to help!

[@Vetteman372]

Which video was it where you showed taking the top part of the front grill off of your Z O-6 to give it better airflow. I took the four screws out, but it's like something still holding it in the middle. I looked, but I couldn't find it again.

[@zaddy_andre__]

curious why you didnt use rpi for the taillight tinting like you did on the stingray

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I like the tint better than the molded plastic. This is a cleaner way to do it in my opinion.

[@zaddy_andre__]

@@HorsePowerObsessed I think I have to go rpi since I want the big parts tinted

I honestly hate the C8 Z06. It's not a Corvette anymore. And with its weight and price, it's no longer an American sportscar that punches WELL above its price point. It's now a mediocre, expensive supercar that doesn't have that gorgeous LS/LT roar, and can't compete on the scene with European supercars. The C7 Z06 was the last great car Chevy produced that could make a Ferrari quiver in its boots. Since then, the Z-model Corvettes that used to demolish European hypercars barely can match the base model Europeans.
