Review: 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (Manual) - Yep, It's Insane!

[@StreetSpeed717]

Loved it man thanks again for making the trip!!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks again for letting me review it Mike!

[@Drive315]

Street Speed 717 hey mike you're and inspiration to me and i hope to make it big on KZbin too! Check out my channel!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Clicked for the reaction, was not disappointed!! Love it man, infectious happiness!!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Jason!

[@30redpillsaday71]

if a tree falls on a corvette, do they super glue it back together?

[@vernonprice5986]

+30RedPillsAday - I don't know, do you typically superglue carbon fiber and aluminum and magnesium?

[@Joe_Friday]

Engineering Explained You should get one to go along with the s2000

[@JJ_ExMachina]

Jason, now here is an awesome example of a push rod engine ;)

[@boots_n_coots]

Matt, good point you brought up about the ZR1’s place in history. For motorheads in general and fans of the brand in particular, this could turn out to be a pretty important car. Bravo to Tadge and the whole Corvette team!

[@scottbarker9058]

WEE ARE MOTORHEAD....WEE PLAY-ROCK N ROLL!!!!

[@bdawg3219]

You are the reason I watch car videos. I found a review of yours one day while looking for my grand Cherokee. Since then I’ve followed you, and one day I found DIWD. Which led me to TJ hunt, to Streetspeed, and finally full circle to you. Funny how The world works! Keep doing you man, amazing content.

[@starocean1992]

This ZR1 will go down in history as very important. Great Great car.

[@williamnguyen2392]

I think the best thing about is matt is not only his detail in reviews but his raw reaction, absolutely infectious

*reads 2019 ZR1* the reaction is about to be INSANE

[@VortexVibe634]

Mike the type of guy that takes his brand new corvette to the dyno but won’t remove the factory plastic protector from the infotainment screen

[@MrChrissercamaro]

EmilFerr77 I think he's going to sell it when his other zr1 comes in and wants to protect the screen.

[@zazuch]

yea but what damage could come to it? ....I dont get that. That tiny piece of plastic wont protect it that much.

[@jollystniick]

Who tf is Mike? His name is literally the channel

[@kevindavis5966]

@@jollystniick The car is not Matt's, it's Mike's - Street Speed 717

It's a start.

I love the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. It’s beautiful.

[@MrBANUELOS56]

Man I got excited watching this!

[@asdfghjkl6999]

I think you should do more videos like this one with the mini interviews with the owners (if it applies) I really enjoyed this one Matt!

[@dylanw890]

It was funny seeing the overlap between your video and street speeds video! Also can’t wait for you to review your bullitt!

[@Jimhwilliams]

I enjoyed this review. I also like the mini interview with the owner. Getting his thoughts from the person that owns it.

[@weesnaww]

I'm glad you finally got into it around the 11:00 minute mark. That was awesome

[@JoseHernandez-er3oo]

The 2019 Chevrolet corvette zr1 is a masterpiece

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

Yesssss, been waiting for this since the ZR1 Reveal! Awesome review Matt!

[@michaelbeardmandown727]

Mike (Street Speed 717) a great guy and love he shares his love and cars with friends and all of us. Life is short and this is what it is all about.

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

Damn Matt! Looking like a natural in a vette!

[@shunsato6621]

One of the best reviews of ZR1, one of the best acceleration reaction of videos of all, one of the best collaboration ever by Matt and Mike, one of the best manual cars ever, bestest Matt!!

[@roger3137]

Watching so many of your videos I can tell this has to be one of your favorite reviews 😀

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah this is definitely one of the most exciting cars I've driven!

[@RedPanda555]

How can any car enthusiast ever prefer the non-audible experience of an electric car compared to a beastly exhaust note like this?!

[@kendaldk5634]

RedPanda I ask myself that everyday.

[@RedPanda555]

Kendal DK I mean electric cars are great for quick and silent midnight robbery getaways and for setting stupid fast quarter mile times, but for multi-sensory driving enjoyment, it can’t compete with the sound, smells and feel of internal combustion.

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Only the lifeless souls would prefer the corpse-like noise of a electric car....😱

[@stephenaleman5257]

Because global warning

[@trashbandit2449]

@@stephenaleman5257 you realize that how batteries is made is just as bad right...?

[@MusicianKnowsBest]

That long second gear pull, just watching YOU and LISTENING to that thing... Heavenly. That is an amazing vehicle.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

I watched Mike's video from a couple days ago and it was such an epic West meets East PA Mike and Matt crossover. I was definitely looking forward to seeing this review today, even mrore that I usually do for your nice professional reviews. He told us to watch out for your acceleration reaction, which I knew would be full of ear to ear smiles and plenty of giggles at that much POWER and grumble, which I know from your acceleration comp vids. Mike did well being nice and quiet as you did your review of that beautiful sebring orange (he converted from yellow to orange, and can't decide if he like the vette or McClaren orange better, which I can understand, both are gorgeous) ZR1. Nice if you both to kind of swap cars and do reviews of each, even though he jokes on Ford, he did like the Guard green GT, maybe when you get the Bullit you can come back for the Pro Charged Z06 review. Tunnel Chaser's Demon is up next. :)

[@rich5708]

Never heard of you till mike introduced you and i had to watch this review did not disappoint.

[@mattstelljes]

this was so fun to watch! great video!

[@flossietube2065]

Absolutely great review Matt!!!!!!!! Your reaction to acceleration pulls is just priceless!!!!!!! The ZR1 is my favorite car, ever!!!!!!! Keep up the good work.

[@curtisj6349]

Matt Maran love every minute of it he cheesin like a kid in a candy store!

[@JJ_ExMachina]

Matt what an awesome review, glad Mike shared that beauty with you. SO looking forwards to seeing the Bullitt review :)

[@martystanleyofficial]

I too clicked for the reaction... LOVED it! Enjoyed the giggles and how your voice went up at least a full octave. definitely a B/A car. New subscriber here, keep up the good work.

This dude clearly loves cars!!

[@dlasti]

The dislikes...are people not liking the ZR1 itself or your review? Hmmm. I always look forward to your reviews.

[@angry.8]

So are the middle two exhaust tips not functional and just cosmetic? There’s only carbon build up on the two outside tips.

[@Valerie10384]

Outer tips are straight piped (SS717 always runs loud), inner tips are from the mufflers under quiet mode.

[@angry.8]

Robert Greier III I’m not straight piped and I get carbon build up evenly across all my quad tips.

[@aaronzubia7931]

the dual clutch models are 2 manuals in 1 and can be shifted manually super fast and super smooth. most people think its an automatic but its not. it can shift by itself but not an automatic just 2 simple manuals shifting gears left and right...

Guess I’d never bring myself to own a C but still huge respect for it to be a part of motoring history.

[@metaljew4456]

Just a fantastic review Matt. Nice job.

[@JayVincentFitness]

Why does it have paddle shifters?

[@vernonprice5986]

The paddles activate the rev matching feature, like it has done since 2014 when the C7s first came out.

[@JKerr-iy2jr]

Should have mounted your drive cam higher so you could see the road over the hood scoop.

[@ls1monster]

At first I thought it only had two exhaust tips...nope the outer two are just extremely dirty lol. Great video Matt!

[@mrbilra]

My God! That thing is scary! BTW maybe you should start doing track reviews for cars like this one.

[@sourabhsharma7939]

Great video and perspective as always! Loved the reaction hahaa

[@CarGuy11]

Awesome! The only C7 I haven’t gotten to review yet on my channel.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Plus you can fit a week's worth of groceries in the trunk. I would love to see someone try to do this in a C8

[@columbretes19650821]

Why does it have paddles on the steering wheel if it is a manual gearbox?

[@bm717252]

J C the paddles are to activate the automated rev match

[@corvetteenthusiast5163]

I noticed Matt had indicated that the 2019 ZR1 (755 bhp) may be the fastest "production" car. However wouldn't the 2019 ZO6 with the Callaway package (757 bhp) be the fastest production car since GM covers the Callaway package under the manufacturers original warranty? Great video and content. Love the Sebring Orange too.

[@EK-rr2md]

The Callaway is not a production vehicle from GM. It is a modified car and Callaway supplements GM's warranty, GM does not cover Callaway modifications...Callaway does.

All C7's have a radio tuning knob as well. It is the center menu knob.

I loveeee the ZR1, and mike street speed, and although I love the small wing, I gotta say, it reminds me of when people put those RC scale big wings on full size cars as a joke 😂

[@Name-kd5jj]

I actually saw one of these on my way to work today. It was grey with the big wing.

I want to comment before I watch. I wonder what will be the expression on Matt's face. Wish I was riding along with the ole boy for the thrill myself.

[@cptdave1739]

Got a chance to drive one of these tonight and I'm just now, an hour later, settling down. Let me tell you, I'm 61, have driven and owned a lot of fast cars but hands down this is the fastest hot rod I've ever driven. Vette was a manual, 7 speed, beautiful red. Shift pattern is tight so it took me a little while to get even close to comfortable but fast, scary fast. I got it past 100 and it wasn't even tempted yet, vette just laughed at me like a street hooker. Jacked my adrenaline so much my clutch foot was shaking an even typing this I can feel my body jumping again. Off the floor car, I doubt there's much that can rival it except ones that are built. Want to thank my son an a buddy of his for bringing this by. My son has heard all my stories about "back in the day" so he knew I would love it. Anyone gets a chance to drive one, do it but be fore warned, it ain't for the timid, respect the Vette!
