Respect to the Z06 for always keeping the other manufacturers on their toes! Absolute beast of a car, best bang for your buck out there right now.

[@SpeedPhenom]

So good out there!

[@MrTresto]

I know right. I wasn't too impressed by the regular C8 corvette to be totally honest, but the Z06 with a flat plane crank and a naturally aspirated 670hp V8 absolutely blows my mind.

[@flexinclouds]

Man, when he's holding at low rpm thru a corner, hits the apex, And then floors it.. ..that screaming engine note & instant throttle response is so damn satisfying😍🔥🙌

As an owner of a C6 corvette, it's so amazing to see the evolution of the Corvette and to see it really is hanging in there with the exotics and even surpassing them. What a great driver you are Austin. I'm surprised you haven't talked to a racing team about becoming a pro driver and getting a ride. Learning from and enjoying all of your adventures.

Austin, there are a lot of things (all good) that I would attribute to you, but SPEECHLESS is NOT one of them! We all get to live vicariously through you, and you do not disappoint! Keep the track days coming. Unfortunately, Laguna Seca will be closed for some time, and when resurfaced, lap times will be comparing apples to oranges. My Streets of Willow times dropped by 4-5 seconds with the new surface. Congrats on the 1:45 at AC Speedway. There's lots more time out there for you!

[@franklp2183]

Sir with all the respect due to you. Now I think that you should play with the big boys and be a full fledged NASCAR driver

[@longrider50]

I like that you actually track these cars to unleash their potential. Thank you. To me, it's not about the straight line performance but how the car behaves around corners.

[@LuxMotion]

Great meeting you out there bud. Thanks for showing me the line on this track. Had a ton of fun bringing my cousin as a ride a long and pushing her g force tolerances to the limit haha 😂

[@F8Tributo]

Great job finding the sweet spot! Got in the groove, all systems warmed up, and pushed it! Takes a steady hand, and a lot of balls!👍 Now this is a horse of an entirely different color, but I did 185 mph repeatedly, down the front straight in an Indy Car trainer! One gear, no mirrors, follow the line of the instructor. Maxed out at 185, wouldn't go any faster!

[@tedzehnder961]

They had these C8 Z06`s at Indy in the spring and they topped out at 164 at the end of the back straight I think the 4-5 gearing is too long for the torque curve.IMO

[@MrFirstSeed]

What a post..thanks SP.that was nuts. That sound..car is dialed in.

[@DANA-lx8cv]

In a way it's good that these are so hard to get right now. Temptation might get the better of me.... Really strong driving! The car looks absolutely flat in cornering and I could listen to that sound all day. This is what the new gen of corvettes should have been from the beginning. Not that the base model is bad, but this engine just seems to be more proper for a mid-engine exotic.

[@MrBlack_761]

Ever since you picked up the car, I've been waiting for this video. Needless to say, the wait was worth it! Great Track Day! And here's to hoping for many more!

Oh man Austin your having too much fun! Great video seeing your Z06 on track as I know every inch of the Roval there.

Nice job tracking it! I'm sure you're just warming up to the track and getting comfortable but Through the big bank you should be able to enter at over 160, and hold at a bare minimum 140+ through it with this car. I rented a V6 Camaro once because my C6Z was down and I was holding 135 through the bank, so I know your C8Z will be far better. My best time back before I knew what I was doing was 1:48 in my C6Z, when I get my C8Z I'll see what it'll do at ACS, WSIR, BW. Either way, keep up the great videos 🎉
