OOPS! CORVETTE C7 Z06 Losing It on the Nürburgring!

[@UweCaspart]

Hi folks. 1. Heat issues were due to non working intercooler pumps. Changing a faulty fuse solved the problem. TIKT cooling kit now workes perfekt. 2. Like the C55 it doesn´t like to shift when in rev-limiter. As said in vid, shifting at 6000rpm is sweetspot 3. Maybe the stability control was on. I cannot see the off sign in vid, maybe its just not on camera After this vid I did 120 more laps with it without any problems (until someone rammed me). TIKT package is definitely worth the money (and reason why I bought this car). Last but not least: Nürburgring Streckensicherung found the license plate and handed it to me 1hr later.

After the inspection with TIKT, they suspected the intercooling system wasn´t working properly (secondary cooling pump failure) Overheated intake air -> ECU gives extra fuel to cool with fuel -> unburned fuel in exhaust -> burning fuel in exhaust, which melted the plate away. Apparently a relatively common issue among C7 Z06. We were pretty lucky that the car did not catch fire.

The early Z06s also had general heat soaking issues. They corrected it by adding more cooling and better venting for those coolers.

For people who don t know, a C7 Z06 does 7 min 13 full lap so only 4 seconds slower than a GT4RS. The transmission is fast for a single clutch. The problem is when it is in semi auto with paddle shifters. Best is to leave it on full auto. This car is a beast and underrrated. Love mine!

[@TheSpink02]

As a former owner of 2019 Z06 I agree 100%. The auto trans programming for the track is actually outstanding when just left in auto mode.

[@gruggel]

Just leave the transmission on Auto next time and put it in Track mode - Race mode , and you will enjoy the transmission much much more than in Manual-mode. The transmission is awesome in auto and track-mode, but in manual it is a bit crap If you don´t shift in exact right time.

[@Projects5309]

Interesting. There's nothing worse than a manual mode that does not listen to you.

[@michaelpowers4452]

absolutely correct !!!

[@7071t6]

plus get good quality coolers for the auto, Engine oil, intercoolers, diff oil coolers as well and better quality auto built is the way to go, especially if your going to track the car and anyway with set thermoset built into the oil coolers they only open up once the oil temps reach a setting you pick. so when your driving around on a average day, the thermostat will only open when the oils reach a set temp) So for a track day have the thermostat set at the best operating temps for the various oils used in the Auto, engine, Diff etc, plus with a fan operational to auto start when the oils reach more than a set rate as well. for extra safety for the engine oil, auto, Diff etc. cheers 🦘🦘👌👌✌✌👍👍

[@TheSpink02]

Yes, I had a 2019 auto Z06 and that doesn't even sound like the same transmission or car to me, that transmission was shot. Nothing like my car was. Thing was a complete monster and would just rip through the gears compared to that car. This video does the car no justice at all. Paddle shifters are worthless on the track, really just use them for dropping a gear on the street. The programming on the auto is really outstanding for the track once you get some seat time in it and just let it do its job. Not the best transmission out there but its a lot better than most on here are giving it credit for.

[@rwilson4073]

Hopefully a C8 Z06 will be a much better experience with the transmission and cooling. I'd say it might even have more cooling than the Z06 or ZR1 with an NA engine, so it shouldn't have issues there. The auto transmission is also significantly better at shifting, pre C8 corvettes for track use should be manuals, especially the C7's prone to more cooling issues with the autos.

Flashing check engine most likely due to detonation and the computer reached the end of how much timing it can pull. Then of course it will go into a reduced power “limp” mode which is seen about halfway through the lap. Excessive detonation from high intake air temp which of course is from ineffective charge coolers. Can also happen if you don’t use 100 octane fuel for track use.

[@TOSHD]

@@DorDor400Even when they work correctly they don't like to take inputs very well.

[@Leonardosouza-zf6gn]

scary brake noise! and it´s missin about 150hp LoL gearbox only by appointment. clutch like superbikes sliding disks, seems so smooth

[@larssecurity2101]

we NEED to see the 2019 Corvette ZR1 or a newer ZL1 1le those are made for the track.

[@jasons2562]

Nice, I want to see you take the C8 Z06(Z07) around the track!!!!!!

[@kanervatie]

One of the best looking cabs of modern "muscle cars" with the "aero kit", or what ever is it called, I can't remember.

[@ITRIEDEL]

The C7 Z06’s were notorious for overheating on the track. Shame, because it’s such great looking and performing car beforehand.

[@javkenshin]

Z7 zo6 known for over heating and limp mode. I remember ppl tried to sue Chevy because their track focused car can't handle being on the track

[@xXturbo86Xx]

I feel sorry for all those who bought the C7. It's so bad. They could have spent a little bit more and get a Viper, which is a proper supercar that shares the shame chassis with the SLS, but i guess they thought it was "too expensive". Well...enjoy...

[@davidhavard1908]

The 7 speed would of been way better on track. Love LT4 and LT5 motors

[@Shan2nu]

Oil temp seemed a bit low at the beginning. I guess around 90c would have been better.

[@Seb726Laviolette]

My c7 stingray hits the limiter before the tach gets there too! The tach has some lagg i guess and mine is a manual!

[@j7...]

Srs question, thx ahead. Everybody talking about faster and faster shifting times in the transmissions. But the engine Rev still needs to match, doesn't it? Is it really that reasonable to have light quick shifting, when you have tonnes of inertia spinning around in the engine? In most cases we don't even have dct, we have a torque converter. So no matter how fast your auto shifts, the torque converter will never be that fast and there will always be a small gap where power transmission is not at max efficiency. Is this all marketing bs? Pls help otherwise I won't sleep anymore

[@gideonsward]

why anyone need to pass the max hp/torque revs? I love your videos (blogs in special) but i wouldn't let you anywhere near my car "-)

[@jonathonwhitehouse5993]

Needs better coolent and also radiator needs to be upgraded as , ECU was stopping you from blowing up the engine

[@ROSNADOR]

Everytime I watch a Misha video I run to my playstation and play GT7 @ Nürburgring!

[@imkeerock]

What year is this car? If it's 2015 or older then it doesn't have the factory cooling improvements. I think 2016 and newer had the improved cooling. It does have the larger grille openings so I would imagine it has the improved cooling but I don't know...

[@robertaBooey69]

FYI don’t drive a flashing check engine light as you are damaging it. Hence why it was dumping all its fuel and almost caught fire. Solid light you are ok but flashing means stop man!!!

[@danielkumar195]

Something to do with the traction/stability control and if you listen and watch the tach he is losing traction preventing him from the upshift.

[@dennistowerofpower5808]

No he was hitting the rev limiters. And the trans was dropping pressure between shifts. And the trans was having heating issues. Because of the pressure drops between shifts. It was developing more heat due to slippage between shifts from pressure drop.😊

[@jtpadventures7189]

They started thrashing this thing before it was even up to operating temperature. The engine was still warming up for the first minute!

[@VaunShiz]

Oeoole talking about yhe gearbox beinf tires , i dont think so, thats pretty normal behavior, the automatic in these are best without using the paddles (which are very delayed).

[@nixcivix]

That gearbox is definitely tired! Takes ages to shift up

[@ThePontiacgto65]

Something wrong with the transmission , maybe a new oil and filter will give it firmness

[@MikesLARE]

2017+ Z06 cars have much better cooling and a ever so slighty raise hood for better heat dissipation. The 8speed autos in C7 are not great on track, weak point is the paddle to shift delay. They are quick to upshift and make great noises doing so at full throttle. But by modern DCT transmission standards let alone the ZFs being offered at the time these fall short. Shame they never figured out how to stuff the GM/Ford developed 10-speed auto that worked well in late model year 5th gen Camaros and performance tuned mustangs.

[@sickjohnson]

Another great one Misha. Pretty sure there was also a well known overheating problem with this gen of Z06...?

[@Solongster]

mx-5 driver here, that car is awesome but gosh the transmission literally would make it undriveable for me, its just soooooo slow it mushy

[@diar0346]

Sorry for asking: Is the Oil prob warm? Bec in the video it seemed like it was at 40° C

[@R19Robbin]

That V8 sounds so good 🔥🔥
