THE C7 CORVETTE Z06 PROS & CONS

In this Vlog I go over some of the Pros and Cons of having a C7 Corvette Z06. I am selling it in a few weeks because I have a 2019 Corvette ZR1 that will be arriving. Make no mistake about it this Corvette is second fiddle to no sports car.

This comment applies to everyone but Chuck. If you have not Subscribed to this channel yet i recommend that you do so right now. You won't be disappointed that you did.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@serjeynoga3212]

Can’t stress this comment enough! Idk why chuck doesn’t have 100k+ subs, my favorite corvette channel

[@TivonSanders]

Oh trust me, as soon as that ZR1 arrives to his house and he uploads his first video with it, they'll come flowing through like a raging stream.

[@serjeynoga3212]

I hope he gets a million subs so he can quit his day job and make daily vlogs

[@metakmoto]

This is a great video! Very nice job on describing the details of pros and cons. I love your honesty and the "real" talk. Great job! Have a blessed day.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Red I appreciate the support. You have a blessed week as well. 👍😎

[@corvettelife2104]

Chuck this video is very informational!!! I love the fact that you are very detailed when it comes to everything you do. The fact that you love Corvette and to be able to honestly critique the car Good and Bad is awesome!!! Also I have begun to speak to the Alamo Area Corvette Club locally in San Antonio and it is great!!! As always thanks again Chuck very informational!!! Can’t wait for 6/23

[@BlackKite]

Chuck, your content is truly great work! That video was very insightful, and helpful to myself and anyone looking to buy a C7 Z06! That ZR1 exhaust sounds absolutely phenomenal, and as you put it “wicked” too! I can’t wait for the new content with Ferlis, it’s going to be awesome!!! Keep that great content coming Chuck, and have a wonderful week!!!😊

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Mike, won’t be allot that will need to be done to the ZR1. We are only a few weeks away. 👍🏻😎

[@rodneymitchell5409]

.

[@paulwilliams3547]

Another awesome video Chuck. Thanks for ALWAYS giving us the inside scoop on the Z06. Going to miss The Black Mamba but looking forward to Fearlis and my own Z06!!!

[@thecarpergarage916]

Nice content again! Congratulations on the ZR1! Thanks for explaining the rationale on the ZR1 over the ZO6! Look forward to seeing the video on the new car! Can’t wait for the GS as well! Corvettes are the best! Been living the dream since 22 years old! I’m 38 now! Have had a Corvette in the family since 1982!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir, going to be a fun summer for sure. 👍🏻😎

[@dove7771000]

Great video Chuck. We've enjoyed the Z06 and are looking forward to the ZR1.

[@BobbyDigital_100]

I'm still rocking my '17 Watkins Glenn Zo6 M7 and drive it 5 days a week... glad you're back my friend!😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@johnglynn7795]

Chuck, Bonjour from Paris. Lazy rainy day here and thought I would re watch this video. Great advice on the wheel alignment information. Anxiously waiting for my new ride! Blue skies, Jg

[@CARTERCUSTOMS1]

ANOTHER GREAT INFORMATIONAL VIDEO CHUCK , THANKS AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Tom for the support my friend 👍🏻😎

[@mhazeyiii]

Chuck, having the exact same car, i totally agree with your honest assessment. I think one of best mods I learned from you is catalytic heat shield. My oil runs at least 10 degrees cooler. You’re exactly right about the power.......it’s sick and it’s no joke! Enjoy the ZR1!

[@kirkjberry33]

great vid Chuck, looking forward to see the new zr1

[@tomfrenza8049]

Real glad to hear that you bought your wife’s Grand Sport from Rick. I always watch his vlogs and enjoy them as well as yours. I am looking forward to seeing your new ZR1.

[@SoberIrishman]

This is my 2nd C6 GS, vettes are loved by people for sure. Over porches, stangs, etc...they are just such gorgeous cars, esp. C6 and C7s. 👍😎

[@moisesmartinez1704]

I'm so excited for you Chuck!! Your new ZR1 will be here in no time!!

[@Corvettes918]

Just a few weeks away 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Smrstb]

Another great video! Thanks for adding my superbee in the vid. ✊

[@randyrhodes7526]

You are spot on with every pro & con, I agree 100%, As always thumbs up and looking forward to the new GS and ZR1 !!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Prez of the 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 squad. We are so very close now. 😎

[@sccarguy]

Only one word comes to mind when describing a z06. “SEXY”

[@Corvettes918]

Agreed 👍🏻😎

[@3030hp]

Thanks for awesome video. I am heavily considering a Z06.

[@MichaelCosenzaIII]

Great stuff chuck. The gas mileage was super surprising! Awesome bonus! I think all of us make that same scream when you feel the power. My wife screamed the first time I got on it a little bit. I knew she was hooked.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

good points covered in this one Chuck!

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

awesome video chuck and yes totally agree about the ZR1 Exhaust!

[@Corvettes918]

It’s just mean 😁

[@TrackSlayers]

Congrats on the ZR1 build man! I'm looking to grab one as soon as our facility is built!

[@jerryspinosa1538]

You and especially your wife must be really excited knowing in a few days you will be adding to your family can't wait to see it 👍

[@Corvettes918]

They can't get here soon enough but the wait has been worth it.

[@kennstinchfield4218]

Great discussion on Pros & Cons of the Z06. 2016.

[@Corvettes918]

👍🏻😎

[@kirkdawgg33]

Just got me one Chuck! Thanks for the info brother!

[@sevensensedetailing1302]

[@willneverrememberit1]

Pretty spot on review. I'm going to the Corvette Owners Driving School on Wednesday. 👍

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Kelly have an amazing time. I will be there in the fall. 👍🏻😎

[@CarsPlus-bv2nl]

Congrats on 16k family members!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir and I greatly appreciate the support 👍🏻😎

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

Good stuff 👍 I hate to see the Z06 go but I can't wait to see all the new content with the GS and ZR1!

[@Corvettes918]

Another Chapter. Should be a good one. 👍😎

[@josephsampson5133]

Great bit about the camber settings that could've been inserted into the order options via check box select. That just makes sense!

[@jeffb243]

Love your video. I’m a C5 owner, love my C5!! But I’ll be looking to get into a C7 Gran Sport in a few years. They’re some bad ass looking cars!!! Man they look fast just sitting still!!

[@JJ-tt7jd]

Chuck, you're a lucky guy. If I had a wife who loved corvettes I would be in heaven. Great video.

[@Corvettes918]

I have blessed with an amazing woman for sure. 👍🏻😎

[@pmp2559]

Ain’t that the truth my wife is the reason I sold my C6. Just when I was thinking of getting maybe a used 2019 our baby came a long and Her claim it’s not practical we have a baby, too expensive. Oh well

[@generallee3186]

Another Great Vlog Chuck! Hey, you starting this channel has reached so many if Us across the board. This is my 4th Corvette, and you are so right, my previous 3 have been Show cars, and I've won a ton of trophies. But, we have never gotten the attention this CRBN 65 C7 brings. We've had folks get out if their cars at a stop light just to take pictures. Hey, I am so looking fwd to the new content from FEARLIS!! I know without a doubt the professionalism and great content will continue. Thanks for all you do, we totally appreciate you!! General Lee VP from Street Dreams Corvette Club out of Virginia Beach Out!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you General, I appreciate you and the 65’s support and get those 3 guys back before the playoffs. 😁

[@generallee3186]

Corvettes 918 Thanks Chuck, hopefully they'll comeback even stronger and ready to run the tables. Keep up the Great work. Just like the Warriors, the Corvette Family atmosphere is what I truly enjoy.

[@terryrutherford2114]

May 2023 I picked up a 2016 Z06, 3LZ, A8, Convertible in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. I came from a C4 ZR-1 and a 2011 CTS-V, so I know about performance, but God the Z06 is phenomenal. I can't wait to see your ZR1. I appreciate what GM has done with the C8 but I just love the looks of the C7 better. Thanks for the video!

[@Brad_James]

Always thumbs up!!! 😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Brad you are the President if the 918 Nation. 😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Brad_James]

[@KeepGaming129]

Soo jealous of your wife! That Special Edition GS is absolutely a one of a kind. Beautiful car! Looking forward to seeing your corvette fleet when they're delivered.

[@superameric8]

Great video. You're wife's vette looks dandy! Can't wait to see more of it.

[@Corvettes918]

We are going to be making lots of videos 😎👍🏻

[@paulletchworth8127]

Awesome as usual !!!!!!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you for stopping by the channel. I appreciate the comment. Have a blessed week!! 👍🏻😎

[@adventures223]

That is on bad ass car beautiful nice wide aggressive look on the back the car is a mean machine it looks so tough the best looking corvette ever made words cant describe how nice this car is

[@blkvettez0630]

great video chuck!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you 👍🏻😎

[@Ronniesan0201]

Damn a average corvette owner usually put 3k miles. If I have one I’ll daily drive it.

[@Corvettes918]

Unfortunately most are not DD

[@C6Roadster]

I daily drive my C6 Z06 to work about ten months of the year and still can only put about 4K miles per year.

[@uliperezsatx]

C6Z06 I got tired of driving mine the roads are rough and listening to every pebble lolll I could tell the difference when driving my wife’s 2018 accord the bumps I usually slow down on in my vette I fly over with hers cause you can’t feel them loll

[@maxfly7079]

I can drive my Vettes, 300 sunny days a year in Az...but the Moon has less Craters than the roads here. At night its way too late to dodge them. Yes they spend the money for road repair, just not on the roads...just saying. PLEASE PLEASE pass any and all Infra structure projects, for the next 20 yrs...because they are that far behind.

[@tylerskelly4358]

I wish I could. I’m in the trades and if you pull up to a job site in one of these, you’ll either get chewed out or it’ll be filthy with all your tools lol. Weekend warrior.

[@magnuman008]

i see the description with Metallic in it . Awesome choice Chuck.

[@rondail5675]

Good Vlog Chuck. I agree with your comments. I hope to share in the enjoyment of your ZR1. I will never own a ZR1 but would love to ride in one. Lucky you are too far away or I would beg for a ride. I've been waiting of people to put Vogs on KZbin for the ZR1, still too early.

[@Corvettes918]

Going to be giving several rides 👍🏻😎

[@NateBales]

Excellent Video!!

[@MrCtsSteve]

Spot on about the cup holder . It sucks . Tires don't last ..other than that ...perfect . Love it man . I've been across country several times with it.

[@rodneybowyer2329]

Great video Chuck !! Only got 3300 hundred miles 3300 miles on my 2016 Z06. In NE Ohio we don't get to drive them in the winter months. My Vette has been in storage since November & I usually get it out the first week in may after the road crews have repaired all the pot holes & swept them with the street sweepers. Take care & looking forward to seeing the new Vettes in your family. My Z06 is the fifth Vette that I have owned.

[@Corvettes918]

Sometimes the elements just don't work in everyone's favor and I don't know how you do it but there are allot of people who only get a few months a year to enjoy these amazing corvettes.

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Nice presentation Chuck. Always get good honest, informative, information from you. Can’t wait until you get the ZR-1 and feature it on your vlog. Not to mention 17 collectors edition your wife bought.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Jim as Always I appreciate your support. It seems likes been a year I have been waiting now we are down to weeks. It’s getting close.

[@bigprez123456789]

Great vlog Chuck. Enjoying it!! Greyhound Rich

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Big Prez I appreciate the support as always 👍🏻😎

[@roncox7582]

Thanks Chuck. Thumbs up.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Ron 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎

[@simpletoneightysix6402]

Awesome video. I'm eyeing a couple right now. 2019's. Want to enjoy for 2-3 years and get rid of it. Just need the experience. Love the black color.

[@serjeynoga3212]

Great video!!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Serjey for the support 👍😎

[@DadsGarageDIY]

Great content as always. One thing to add…you said people don’t notice other cars such as Chargers, etc. I know this video came out before the Widebody. My best friend has a Z06 and I have the Widebody Charger and when we go hang out more people are interested in the Charger. Although some will take pictures with the Z06 many more flock to the Widebody Charger. I think the Widebody really changed the game for the Chargers. Great content. I still have a young one at home. But, the next car will be a Corvette.

[@Skeetersbuzz]

Chuck, that was great send off. I appreciated the part where you talked about the Stingray, GS and the Z06.........here on Long Island, using the car as a touring car, my Z51 does indeed have more power/torque than I could ever need/use. It just seems like the perfect compromise between usable power and not having overkill. Looking forward to the next chapter brother! It’s been a great ride so far! Glenn

[@mikeflear5431]

Hey Chuck, I know everyone is looking forward to seeing the ZR1, and I am to,but your wife's car is awesome as well. When GM released that car, man l came a hair from ordering one, but I'm very happy with my ZO6 Carbon, it's payed for! I saw the GS on Ricks vlog and it looks awesome! Lucky Girl! Have a blessed week my friend! 🇨🇦

[@Corvettes918]

Hey Mike, The GS is a beautiful specked out vette. It will definitely stand on its own as a great car to do videos with. She is super excited and it should be on its way via transport in a few days. 👍😎

[@Maxdady01]

Thanks Chuck!

[@Corvettes918]

I appreciate the support 👍🏻😎

[@bryangilbert2188]

Love the video

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Bryan I appreciate the support brother 👍🏻😎

[@lappydog9020]

Took my 16 to the track for the first time in my life. Holy hell low 11s bone stock. Iam hooked

[@larrydawes8765]

Chuck, the wife's new Grand Sport looks awesome but wont be as bad a** as the new ZR1. Thanks for another informative Vlog.

[@Corvettes918]

🤫 Don’t tell my wife that 😂😂👍🏻😎

[@christopherallen7541]

I didn't see your car out at caffeine and gasolinethis past Saturday here in Tulsa. You should come out next time! Every 3rd Saturday! Excited to see the ZR1 content. 👍

[@Corvettes918]

I was out of town. Where is it held?

[@christopherallen7541]

Corvettes 918 106th and memorial out at the vineyard. Ton of cars lots of fun.

[@ricktokle5848]

😎🇺🇸 Hey Buddy 👍 Good Stuff Chuck as always ✌🏻

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Rick for all the support my friend 👍🏻😎

[@tomfountain4929]

Thx Chuck, your comments and insights are very helpful. I have been a sports car owner for many years. Have owned three Porches (944, 944 T and 996 Turbo S) and currently, own SL 55 AMG. looking at buying a 2017 ZO6 ~ LT1 ~ C7 package Watkins Glen coup.

[@Corvettes918]

The Z06 is the best performance sports car for the money. You will greatly enjoy it.

[@danrasnake6478]

thumbs up for the 3rd gen f-body in viewer rides

[@Corvettes918]

We love all cars in this community except for Prius. 😂😂👍🏻😎

[@polarbear111000]

No problem with my cup holders. We use them all the time. Wife and I on road trip last week. Two Starbucks coffees....effortless. Pop cans, travel mugs...never had one move and inch.

[@Corvettes918]

Glad you have had better luck. They have been impressive for me.

[@albertcooper631]

Well Chuck it has been a good ride with the Black Mamba. The Black Mamba is great car the new owner will hv a car that is #1 in my book. So i guess in a couple of weeks we will gt a chance to see Fearlis grand appearance. Can't wait I know she will be just as exciting.

[@Corvettes918]

She was an amazing first Corvette now we turn the page and the next chapter should be amazing. 👍🏻😎

[@96rasco]

I cant wait to get my c7 zo6 would go perfect in my drive way with my c6z

[@odinsonthorhammer1]

Thank you for that review. I’m between the zl1 10 speed or the zo6🤩

[@seminole715]

Thanks Chuck, love the back road cruise. Ya, excited about the ZR1, and the Grand Sport too, very excited! Till next time!! Even with the cons, the z06 is my drug of choice. I know I have said that before but I am addicted!! LOL Have a great week!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for the support. The Z06 is an assassin no doubt about it. Was glad I had the opportunity to have own one. 👍🏻😎

[@roncox7582]

Chuck. I own a 1994 NSX And a Honda s2000 but I love your car

[@Corvettes918]

Those are amazing sports cars 👍🏻😎

[@roncox7582]

Corvettes 918 thanks!

[@Swole55_]

OMG people look hard wasnt ready for that but it does feel good.

[@polarbear111000]

Got ceramics on my Z07....love them.

[@andrehansen585]

Hey hey. Z06 15 model here. Did get a engine light. (not flashing) same power. Its around zero degrees celsius here. And at the same time gurgling water sound in the dash. So i heard its usual

[@Sprocketboy1956]

Compliments on another excellent video. When the cupholders are about the most irritating thing you can complain about it has to be a pretty good car! There is another well-known vlog on KZbin where the question was recently asked as to whether the Corvette is "a real supercar." Since nobody can really define a supercar anymore except that one seems to have not only high performance capabilities but an insanely astronomical price tag and tiny production numbers, lots of posters took pleasure in badmouthing the Corvette. Many said it was just "too common." Now, I know that 30,000 are built each year but, Chuck, one of your points in your video is that you have never owned a car stared at by people as much as your Z06, which is admittedly a very striking car. But Corvettes really look like nothing else on the road. I was amazed when I noticed people videoing our 2008 C6 on the highway. Of course, Corvettes are fairly rare here (in 2008, only 643 came to Canada, with only 212 of those being base Coupes like mine) but it is still surprising to me. In spite of our ridiculously short season, I still manage about 8,500 miles per 6-month year so I think if you are doing 13,500 with mainly local driving you are ahead of the game. Of course, the other positive thing that has come out of your Corvette ownership experience is this vlog and all your devoted followers! Looking forward to the arrival of ZR1 monster, which will probably be in your driveway before I can get my car off the battery charger and onto a snowless street (42 days to go!).

[@Corvettes918]

Awesome comment Leslie, I was reaching for things to find negative because I didn’t want to sound like a total homer. 😂😂. This is an amazing sports car and to me it’s a super car just not an exotic. Which to me is the difference.

[@Sprocketboy1956]

The other difference is that nobody actually drives their Ferraris/Lamborghinis/McLarens. And I have yet to see a 2004-2006 Ford GT with more than 3,000 miles on it. And a C5 Corvette went to the museum in Bowling Green in November with 773,000 miles on it--still on the original engine! www.corvettemuseum.org/high-mileage-c5-corvette-donated/

[@terryrutherford2114]

I've owned a 1988 Corvette Z51, a 1991 Corvette ZR-1 and currently own a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. I am looking to purchase a C7 Z06 0r a V3 Cadillac. One way or the other I want that LT4. Thanks for the video!

[@dlang1009]

Looking forward to your ZR1. As far as the lag on the paddle shifting I read the ZR1 will not have this lag, I also read there will be an update tune for us current Z06 owners. The new Zl1 A10 shifts really fast with paddles. Hopefully it will be addressed.

[@Corvettes918]

Can’t wait to check it out. I did have someone notify me that GM has released a transmission time that address this on Z06. 👍🏻😎

[@APlife764]

Hey bro that extra GO is a super charger! 🤣🤣🤣

[@devinjackson2373]

Good to see you back! When do we get the video of your wifes GS??

[@Corvettes918]

As soon as it gets here. Hopefully next week. 👍🏻😎

[@jimbrown6483]

Great Work Brother, do all c7 zo6, come with a eco Mode?

[@bigdog8882]

Does the Z06 suspension sit lower than the regular Corvette (Grand Sport)? Or is the height of the car the same? Thanks, Good Video!

[@ajwright3496]

Hey brother, I like in OKC and have a c7 z06. Been wanting to join one.

[@magnuman008]

Sweet. does it have flake in it?

[@JohnMaffa]

Chuck...$7500 for the Ceramic Brakes is a lot of $$$. When I ordered mine, I had them on, took them off, put them back on, took them off, then got caught with... it's too late. I'm sure it's going to bit me every time I drive it...but $7500 is a lot if rim washing : ) I just want the snow to go away so I can take mine out of the garage.. Great review.

[@Corvettes918]

$7995 I would pay double that for ceramic brakes. 😂😂. You guys have been beaten down this winter. It’s about over.

[@jimjimtiger]

Ordered my GS with carbon ceramic not only for minimal brake dust but no corrosion and they just look bad a$$.

[@JohnMaffa]

I'm thinking the cheaping out is going to bit me. I guess we live and learn : ) Chuck, you probably should stick to Corvettes918, weather forecasting is not your forte... another 8-12 tomorrow. Doesn't feel like we'll ever see dry pavement!. Be well

[@RustyZipper]

Well worth it

[@sushisashimi9113]

I'm in the Prius Club. :)

[@travishoover636]

I would have to guess the reason for the delay on paddle shifting a low speed and not being aggressive on the throttle is why the drag when shifting. I would have to ask if it does the same thing when stopping on it and paddle shifting? I been helping a widow sell a C5 and she asked me to put some good miles on it to be sure all is well before I sell it and I have noticed it shifts different very different at low throttle then it does over half throttle. Good video i liked it and even though I don't own a vette i am gonna subscribe. I like the C5 that she wants to sell but hate the Targa top. So I am gonna be looking around for hard top for my mid life car. LOL.

What about the cylinder deactivation, do you recommend disabling it?

[@cindykeselowski899]

What's your take Chuck on the factory carbon ceramic brakes?

[@Broker205]

I LOVE this channel! I have a 2015 Chevy Malibu that I bought a few months ago that I love, but I swear you make me want a Vette! On a side note, I’ve watched some of your videos on car washing. Would you share the equipment that you use? I want to buy a foam cannon and power washer. Also, how do I send you a picture of my ride?

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks George for being apart of the community. Congratulations on the new Malibu great cars. If you will go down into the description of the newer car washing videos I have links to everything I have. 👍😎.

Had to trade my 2016 Z06 for my Dodge Demon (Dealer insisted).... Good chance I will add a Vette again.... Keep up the great work Chuck, cant wait to see the ZR1!!

[@CWChandler1968]

Chuck great video as always. Two new vets in one month, not many can came that! Do you know people who have had the magnetic ride calibration done? Do you still recommend it?

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Craig. The Z06 that beat the Dodge Vipers time at VIR in January had the new calibration. It is definitely worth the $350 bucks even though it should be free with a flag hours worth of labor from the dealers. If I was keeping the Z I would have done the upgrade for sure.

[@gsxrdrama9025]

Im sure the microphone cant do it justice. But damn still sounds great

[@jangun2o084]

The problem with the shifting is realy easy to fix. Take alaptop connect it to your z06 and turn the reaktiontime down. (need a programm for it 5 min google search)

[@vip_supercars3652]

Can you provide a link to the brakes you changed to??

[@Danbimmerfan]

Hey what’s the song? Nice vid btw beautiful Z

[@michaelklobuchar4549]

Hi Chuck, thanks much for sharing thoughts on Z06--haven't had the pleasure yet, but hope to drive one someday. As for stares--some, but probably get an equal number of sneers--such is life in LA LA Land. With a new ZR1 possibly only days away, are you able to sleep at night?

[@Corvettes918]

Sleeping like a baby knowing it’s almost time. 😂😎👍🏻😎

[@boywonderrr71]

@Corvettes918 Im in the market for either a Z06 or GS and I will be getting it from Rick Conti if I choose to get a vette. Im a serious driver and will daily this car. I love the blue interior of that Special edition GS! My concern is that I wont be able to use the Z06 and having the back end step out when driving hard or around town. Im a decent driver and not pro but is it that much a difference between the GS & Z06? I know that now is the time to buy a C7 so hopefully it will be a reality. Thanks for info, God bless. PS- I need auto due to a left ankle injury that makes it nearly impossible at times to use my manual. so it is what it is.

[@SVJMIA]

The reason I passed on this car is because of the SLOW gear shifts.. I'm used to driving the 911 with the sharp PDK transmission, so this is a no go! Can't believe Chevy missed such a crucial aspect.

[@streetreaper4984]

Hey Chuck...what happened to you telling us about the magnetic ride upgrade...did I miss that vid? Has anyone put numbers to the upgrade to see if it's worth it? Did it affect the qrt mile times? I would appreciate your feedback!

[@Corvettes918]

I didn't do the upgrade because I was selling the Z. The upgrade was one of the Z06 that beat the Viper on VIR a few months back. It definitely gives the vette better handling in the suspension and increases the performance.

[@streetreaper4984]

Corvettes 918 ..thanks for the info. Looking forward to seeing your new ZR1!

[@darrenboivin8189]

Hey, Chuck greetings from Vancouver Canada. When you lowered the Z06 di affect your wheel alignemnt?

[@Corvettes918]

Hey Darren from 🇨🇦 Yes it did. I won’t be lowering my wife’s or the ZR1. It looks better but just too many issues with lowering these vettes.

[@jimjimtiger]

I've wondered the same thing, guess I won't be lowering my GS.

[@61sasquatchwilson74]

I had an 08 Z51 and it would get squirrelly. Can't imagine another 200+ hp

[@Corvettes918]

There is allot of power you never use in the Z06 and ZR1

[@butchsweedar9991]

Chuck, did the ceramic brake pads you put on squeel or make noise after changing? Also what did you do to seat the pads? Thanks!

[@Corvettes918]

Once you break them in no noise. I did 25 0-50 starts and hard stops.
