IS THE 2023 C8 CORVETTE Z06 A FERRARI KILLER?? (Full review, walk around, cold start)

[@beowulf3303]

The current love of my life is a black 07 Z06. Car is a pleasure to drive and turns heads! This C8 Z06 is off the charts!!

[@JohnBowl14690]

The all Black looks so much better than the red. The sound and the 670HP makes the quite an upgrade from the regular c8. Plus the rims and wider body...great car in black. Will be interesting if the flat plane crank will be as reliable.

[@franksaladino]

It definitely looked menacing in black! Real nice look to the Z06

[@ZvukUp]

I've owned Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini. This is 100% a supercar killer. GM hit it so far out of the ballpark, the ball is still in the air. When I drove this monster, my jaw was on the floor. Not only will you NEVER outgrow the power of this car, it drives like a Cadillac on clouds. How GM achieved this is beyond me. It is smooth, smooth, smooth!! My body could only handle about 2 hours in my other supercars. I could drive the Z06 ALL DAY LONG and not feel beat up afterwards. . I'm absolutely confident that what you get for the price of this car will have a massive impact on resale value of other supercars. In the next 2 to 3 years, you'll see prices fall through the floor on Ferrari's and Lambo's because the Z06 offers SO MUCH for a fraction of the price. GM wanted to disrupt the industry and they nailed it. If you gave me a $1Million Lambo today, I'd sell it, buy a Z06 and pocket the rest. That's how good this car is. The Z06 is a massive achievement. I can't open my wallet fast enough.

[@franksaladino]

Glad to see that people who have experienced other cars like the Z06!!!

[@LWRC]

Time will tell. There have been reports that a few owners have reported the flat plane V8 already blowing up! Let's hope Chevy fixed the reliability issues with all the problems the C8 Stingray owners have reported. If it is as good as you say, then it may be worth considering. But if not and continues to be plagued with reliability problems, I'd just spend the extra coin and get the 911 Twin Turbo S with AWD and AWS! It is doubtful anyone can outdrive the 911 even in a Z06! Yes, it is less money but if it is less reliable and has quality issues, it won't get my money!

[@ZvukUp]

@@LWRC Not sure if you're a Z06 owner but if you aren't, don't believe everything you read. If you do own one, I hope you're not having any issues. I'm up to 3000 miles on mine and don't have any issues, just the opposite. Now that I've racked up a good amount of miles, the car runs stronger than ever. Gets up to 100mph in just seconds.

[@LWRC]

@@ZvukUp You ought to have a lot of fun with those Tesla owners especially the ones with the plaid who think they're the king of the hill!!!

[@LWRC]

@@ZvukUp I'd like to get one if the fit and finish and reliability are there compared to German cars!

[@craigthescott5074]

For the money the C8 Z06 kills everthing for the money.

[@ayonibrahim9985]

Many reason why a typical mainstream automakers can have a huge advantage over brands that only make supercar, and it all shows in C8 corvette.

[@ZEWUS134]

Bro which of the best corevete c8 z06 or corecete z51 bro pls

[@danieldickerson4838]

Just a minor correction: The Corvette has been front engined for the last 70 years.

[@franksaladino]

I realized after especially with the release of the C8 “70th” anniversary 😅😅 thanks! Hahahaha

[@danieldickerson4838]

@@franksaladino No problem bro!

[@CarGuysRule82]

Nice car. I have the same spec coming except with a red manifold.

[@franksaladino]

That’s sick! I hope your excited! The car sounds so good in person with a cold start, you feel it in your chest 😂

[@liberte1700]

carbon fiber wheels is a bad deal because ive seen many people out there break them and to get it fixed hahaha or change tire on it omg u can get them and put it on track only or if u live in a area when the road are 110% clean

[@franksaladino]

Very true, better hope the roads are perfect! 🤣😭 just like the carbon ceramic brakes hahahaha

[@kerry_glock]

Speed Phenom broke his Carbon Fiber Wheels and had a terrible time trying to find any Chevrolet Dealership that would touch the wheels and tires as well as seeking other “Super Car Dealerships” that would help. He finally found a Chevy dealer that would help, but the Service Fee I believe is $660. He’s gone through 5 Sets of tires on his ZO6. IMO, anyone that gets the Carbon Fiber Wheels for their C8 is asking for headaches and better have “DEEP POCKETS”!!!

[@DavidMiller212]

I will NOT pay $100k over MSRP for this, it's ridiculous what dealerships are charging

[@franksaladino]

I agree 1,000% this one was sold for $130k so looks like a good deal on that one however I’ve definitely seen them listed at 200k and up which is insane

[@joeg509]

Maybe you won't, but alot of people are....there are so few of these cars I'm shocked GM is selling them for the price they are.

[@PatrickGotHands]

Imagine paying 200k for a v8

[@hb6187]

I personally own a New Z06 and a 458 and I absolutely believe that if this car was priced at 200-250 it would still sell like crazy. Since it’s priced at 130 bad it’s absurd how expensive they are right now, i ended up paying more for my Z06 than I did for my 458. Absolutely worth it to me tho one of my favorite cars currently

[@hb6187]

@@PatrickGotHands Ferraris and mclarens are V8s and way more expensive lol don’t know what your on about

Definitely a beautiful car!!!

[@ryanyoshimura]

Doesn’t really matter if none of us can even get an allocation

[@franksaladino]

Sad reality 🥲 I believe that was the only Z06 that dealer was getting for the year

[@aramistaboada5696]

I think you’re completely exaggerating the difference from a C8 and a ZO6 especially without the ZO7 package. I have a C8 with every carbon fiber aftermarket mod available and aftermarket AWE exhaust. I live in Miami so you see plenty of C8 and a few ZO6 plus I am good friends with the manager at my dealer. They look almost identical if coming at you at some speed impossible to tell the difference even when you know what you’re looking for . Now from the back with the middle exhaust is a little easier . So keep your credibility and don’t exaggerate things to sound like an expert .

[@franksaladino]

I definitely do agree that they could have done more however seeing it directly next to a stock C8 you can definitely see the differences! From a factory stand point of course, I definitely agree you can modify a standard C8 to be identical to the Z06 with the Z07 package basically however from the stock standpoint, seeing them side by side I could see the differences! I’ll actually be posting a video with the standard C8 and be going over the differences haha. Thank you for the comment!

[@N0neofyourbusiness.]

670hp + 495hp = 175hp 🌚

Actually it equals 1165. Lol

Reeeeee

[@danmccaffrey4115]

These cars are junk, don't buy one! The very same day I took delivery of my 2023 Corvette Z06, and babied it on the way home, multiple systems failed, and the car crapped out, and had to be towed back to the dealership. Catastrophic failure of the left front shock assembly spewed hydraulic fluid all over my driveway, transmission surging and jerking, front lift inoperable and throwing a code, AC didn't work, and the car does not respond to key FOB commands. The technician at the shop confirmed all these problems and then the manager at the Chevy dealership said it would be weeks before he could get a shock assembly to make repairs. Completely ridiculous and unacceptable, and when I called GM and told them what happened to a brand-new car, I got nothing, but, "you'll just have to wait." I've hired a Lemon law attorney to get my money back. GM rushed to get these cars out the factory door and it shows, no quality control and poor workmanship.
