Time to Say Goodbye to the Vette | 2019 Corvette C7 Z06 Long Term Review

All good things must come to an end. It's time for me to move on from Corvettes for a while, but I wanted to give it a last dance and a video for me to remember her by. Even though it wasn't my favorite car, it's the one that jumpstarted this channel, so it'll always have a special place in my heart.

Well honestly, the automatic Z06 was a big mistake, but I'm starting to miss having a Z06 in my garage.

[@BobbyDigital_100]

I'll never sell my '17ZO6 M7! Super high quality video, sir!🤘🏾👌🏾

[@CRMXL]

Well you might get the C8 Z06 with the 7 speed manual, that's been in the talks but that won't be for a while. Weird how corvette pulled out of LeMans even though they already built the car a while back for the C8 platform.

[@erickirshner2810]

I bought an automatic C7. If I lived somewhere with wide open roads or a nearby track I could see the benefit of having the manual. I live near Chicago. Lots of traffic and my clutch leg would be very muscular by now. The automatic is faster and gets better gas mileage. Plus it leaves your hands free to change your music or whatever. Kind of wish it had the C8s dual clutch trans but I have to say I'm pretty happy with this 8 speed auto. I don't have the Z06 but even the base has incredible value for the money. The Z06 can still embarrass many exotics costing 4 times it's price.

[@armardillotektexas3670]

Stop! Unless I get zo6 for c8, nor I will keep it forever!

[@fzr1000981]

@@erickirshner2810 Agree I love a manual on track or mountain road (came from FD RX-7), for just about everything else a modern automatic is ultra quick. The ZL1 ILE 10 speed outhustled the manual in C&D Lightning Lap (2019). The A8 just isn't that great.

[@mrjjthor]

And this is the reason why I cannot own a automatic sports car no matter how much faster it is. Losing the engagement means losing the connection between man and machine.

I’ve got a C7 Z06 and I’m saving for my C8 Z06 but I would never get rid of it it’s a manual and a LT3 so it’s awesome. Nothing beats this car for the price nothing. I’m just hoping that GM listens to its customer base and makes a manual an option for the C8 Z06.

[@cozmicsoull]

⁠@@SamKGarageCongrats! How is it going so far? Recommend one?

[@SamKGarage]

@@cozmicsoull Thank you. I would definitely recommend one, so much performance for your dollar. The 2015 C7 Z06/Z07 outpaced a 2017 GT3RS, 2020 Huracan Evo, 2017 Ford GT Hypercar, etc. during C&D testing at Virginia International Raceway. That goes to show it’s a track monster. Basic bolt ons have the car in the mid 6 second range 60-130. The brakes alone cost $15,000 to replace. I would recommend Manual over Automatic, the rev match makes it so easy to drive.

[@SamKGarage]

@@cozmicsoull the automatic uses same transmission from a Tahoe/Silverado, pretty much a slush box when not under WOT. I am going to trade mine for a manual, just waiting for someone to come along who wants an auto with a manual.

[@roccovaselino]

GREAT review, and spot on. I even agree with your few gripes, like the sluggish automatic, and the stock seats. That's why I bought the 7-speed TR-6070 manual. The amount I saved with the manual, and the subsequent no gas-guzzler tax almost paid the $3,000 for the competition seats. I am an extremely fit 73 year old mofo, so I'm comfy in them. My C6 Z06 was more of a purist's car, but this thing is amazing. I'll keep this toy until my somewhat younger wife takes away the key fob and forces me to buy an Oldsmobuick. Your videos are the best in this genre. Kudos, man.

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

@Paul Scarpelli The comp seats are amazing. Luckily I’m still somewhat in shape so they felt great when I sat in them. Wish I could’ve found one with the comp seats but I was buying one off a dealer lot at the time and with the deal I got, I couldn’t be greedy. Thanks for the kind words and comment!

[@roccovaselino]

To review the advantages of the 7-speed manual over the 8-speed automatic: The Tremec TR-6070 has less parasitic drag, meaning more power at the wheels. The manual was (I think) $1,700 less. The car gets slightly better fuel economy with the manual, and it avoids the A8's gas guzzler tax. The rev-matching feature is "tits on a Ritz." Purists will say they prefer heel-and-toe, but driving this car at 9/10 requires paying close attention, and the rev-matching is a life saver. And while the automatic can be a tick quicker, the car equipped with the M7 is still absolutely terrifying and plenty quick.

[@ashishpatel350]

These used are a Hell of a deal for the amount of performance they offer.

[@ssoffshore5111]

IMO the C6Z is an even better deal. With H/C/I they are screamers, the LS6 is awesome (with the heads fixed), and not as portly either. I prefer the smoother look too. Oh yeah, it only comes with a manual baby!

Was going to order a C8 but then I drove a Z06 M7 and realized it was one of the last chances to own a true sports car beast with a stick. Bought a 2017 Z M7 11 months ago and not sure I can part with it. Best wishes on your future car adventures. Hope you decide to put a Z M7 back in your garage soon. I’ve had many sports cars but there is something very American and very special about the manual Z.

Excellent video and as good (or better) then anything on Netflix. I'm not ashamed to admit that I got a little choked up a the end when you were walking away from the car and talking about it being the end of your ownership. The only feedback I would have is, while you touched on it, there should have been a category for the cost to maintain and fix...10 out of 10 when compared to other supercars.

[@fusionxavier8157]

Great vid and sad to see the car go. I bought a new 2017 A8 Z06 back in 2017. The 4 cylinder eco mode and sluggish manual shifting is really disappointing. After 2 years, I traded it in for a new 2019 M7 Z06/Z07 and have had no regrets. All my previous sports cars were manual, but with the 2017, I decided to go with the auto for some extra convenience and acceleration. The WoT acceleration was a blast, but everything else about that automatic transmission is a joke. The last year FE Vette with a manual transmission is a special piece of history IMO and I'm thrilled to own one. I look forward to more videos from you in the future!

[@mr.gilliam5597]

A8 is faster than the manual...

[@SamKGarage]

Kind of in the same boat. Got an A8, but I feel the car deserves a third pedal. It’s my daily, driving 30 minutes to work in bumper to bumper South Florida traffic, so it’s a dillema. Might just wait and get a manual VIPER GTS when I move back to Texas in a few years, way more open roads and less of a commute. Still love the way the A8 shifts, so brutal, and it’s very convenient.

[@charlesfrison7135]

Its amazing you've had the chance to experience and race both the manual and auto Z06. I have a supercharged C7 Z51 A8 and i love it! It has a ECS Centrifugal Blower on it so in terms of sound with the bov and supercharger whistle its amazing! 8 spd auto when you let it do the shifting is very fast.

Oh man well here we go. Nice sound on startup Mean machine It’s impressive how overlooked these are honestly Where did you mount your camera on the helmet for your track day? Shit this is a long vid lmao I never knew the V8 was that big, 6.2 liters. That’s large I bet it’s a scary car lol I like what the exhaust note brings, that menacing tone you get from a V8, would be nice to hear whine from the Z06 9 for both. Nice Yeah sadly the automatic is just, I hate to say it, garbage, after watching your last vid on the car when you compared the two That is such an annoying transmission setup. I’m glad the C8 fixed this issue The handling is so good on this car, it handles so well for having a 6.2, and it’s such a capable car now I’ll have to come back to this because I’m in the middle of something Ok I’m back. It’s cool that you can customize the car’s settings so well, and I’m glad the brakes are good. Steel brakes are really common nowadays. The car is on leaf springs? Holy shit lol I enjoy the stiffness of suspension too. I could care less for comfort in a car like that The interior of the C7 was definitely an improvement and the C8 for sure. Not a fan of the gauges on the side of the digital dash, looks a little ugly in my opinion. I don’t see why they couldn’t compile all the info onto one screen Hide a few bodies. Good to know There’s a compartment behind the screen? That’s awesome Oh man driver engagement is very important. Haha 6 9 The C7 looks great honestly, I like the design a lot. After seeing the C8 in person, I like the C7 appearance better. That long front end is so cool C8 Z06 is the move, but if you want, you can wait for the ZR1 with electric motors, or just sell the Z06 for the ZR1 Yeah, like I said earlier this car is so overlooked. I like how the hood has always opened from windshield up. Love it Honestly fuck warranty. If you’re spending $80,000 on a car you should be able to afford the maintenance Yeah this car is great for its value considering it’s Nurburgring time I like this music a lot here Smiles per gallon lol The manual is such a monster, love it Maybe one day you can buy another manual Z06, if you’re ever interested in that Great informative vid. I know you’re gonna miss the car, I would too.

Back with a real comment. Once again a great video Dan, very nice touch with the reverse at the end. Yes, there are a lot of full reviews on the C7 on KZbin but none can compare to this. The fact you've owned both a MT and AT for so long make you the most qualified to do a proper review. There is a certain sadness with letting a car go, especially a car you've loved so much. I personally had to let go of my dream car a few weeks back because of the ongoing situation. It wasn't much but it was mine and I had waited so long to buy it. At the end of the day, it's all down to common sense and economics and in times like we are living now, I just consider myself lucky I got to own it for a couple of years. Your story with the C7 is ending but I'm sure another journey will start somewhere in the future. I'm glad you had the car since this is how I discovered your channel and I know you'll do a fine job reviewing and testing other cars.

Things are not easy for people now and a lot of folks are asking me what I’m going to pick up next. Frankly, it’s going to have to wait until next year at least to see where things end up. No need to make irrational purchases in this type of situation. Thanks for the kind words as always, Francois.

I always found it to be the best looking model year for that generation. I made the decision to sell it right at the start of this crisis not knowing what the future held. Kids have become teens and they cost a lot of money 😉. Owning a small business comes with a lot of uncertainties and even though I now realize that the downturn wasn't as bad as I expected for me and I could have kept the car, I wanted to make sure the kids wouldn't be affected and ultimately show them to be financially responsible.

well not sure where you live but my m7 zo6 gets a lot of looks, but you have a dull color, a silver zo6 need chrome wheels...I have a sterling blue with hood stinger and black wheels as well, and it like I am in a lambo when I drive it every one looks at it.

[@Vettdude72210]

I made the mistake and bought the automatic with the Z07 package. It’s very boring till you put your foot in it. Really wish I had bought the manual.

[@chamoua3968]

Awesome video and brutally honest review. This is the type of car review I look forward please continue to do more review!

[@NigelDRealest]

Wow. This video production is on another level!!! Can't wait to get there

[@MRCRICKET24]

Awesome video, shots were epic!

[@mikesnyder3505]

You mentioned Hellcat whine.... have you done a video with a Hellcat? If not, can you please? (Wide body Charger Red Eye would be great)

[@fisher0070]

Oh man... You made me excited about my z07 manual . I'm gonna miss your car

[@joelklaus902]

Love your content and hearing your opinions.

[@exotixfan]

I would argue that your Gallardo started the channel way back. But I know what you mean. That was all shits and giggles. Your reboot was what you were referring to. Sad to see it go, but I think you deserve to move onto something a little more "exotic."

[@luiscouto6543]

TERRIFIC VIDEOS.. is there video explaining why you decided to try auto ? Ps I was nicely surprised can’t hear supercharger on my 19 z... can’t stand the whining..

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

Thanks. I may have mentioned in my Manual vs. Auto video for the C7Z but in short, all my sports cars prior to this auto C7Z were manual. I’ve been a manual guy for a long time and still am, but I wanted to see what the hype was all about.

[@Darkside_C7]

Dang. Sad to see it go but totally understandable. Manual is the way to go. Also, so glad you mentioned the steering. All the reviews I've seen mention track mode steering is too heavy and I don't think it's heavy feeling enough.

[@nihselauto]

So sad to see this go. Remember you doing videos on this when I first stopped by your channel. I guess there is better things to look forward to ahead.

[@jwb4bb]

How about a manual Grand Sport?

[@hieuluu2]

I am here for the camera work and color grading.

[@eichler721]

The C7 Z06 is the king of bang for buck comparison. Thats always been the appeal of the Z06. Hope the C8 deliveres this and more.

[@DonDice23]

Super dope video and spot on!

[@clark-n-anitakalens7599]

Nice review. I gained a new perspective even after owning a fair number of Corvettes

[@JetFuelOnly]

I think I see your overhead mic! Just messing with you (we've all done it, some of us a few times. Love your vision for your channel man.

[@HoeLeeFuQQ]

This mans production value is insane how do u not have 1 million subscribers?🤯

[@KevinParent248]

1000 HP for less then 10K? Ummm, no. The fuel system alone needed to make that power is $10k.

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

@bbnova Chevy supposedly low key upgraded the fuel system in the 2019s with parts from the ZR1. But let’s assume you don’t have a 19 or that it’s not enough. Weapon-X Whipple is 6500. Port Injection is another 1000 or you could do a low side fuel pump for 900. Then you do all the supporting (Intake, X-Pipe, headers, etc.) at about $2000. So right around $10K + install. Weapon-X basically said around 850-875WHP conservatively with fuel being the limiting factor at that point. So 850WHP factoring drivetrain loss of roughly 86% and we’re looking at estimated 990 crank. Close enough to 1000.

[@ridinbmw]

Great production quality and review. I just got rid of my 19Z as well. I can agree with almost everything that you said. Only discrepancy would be the 7MT. With its extremely high clutch engagement point and the dead spot on initial throttle tip in, daily driving was tedious and annoying. Much better MT out there

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

@RidinBMW Thanks! I guess I had the Mamo Ported TB on my manual from the get-go basically so I didn’t really notice the dead spot as much. I didn’t mind the high engagement though, I feel like a few of the manual cars I’ve driven prior to it have been like that so maybe I got used to it quickly. But agreed, good MT especially with the rev-match function, but not the best.

[@DEMediaDrive]

That's one of the best Corvettes I've seen.

[@jaimejesus9611]

Your quality so good that you got my subscription and I never subscribe to anyone, you deserve millions of followers stay steady grinding!!!

[@JerryCecco]

Im going to keep my 2017 M7 Z06 a little longer :-)
