Thanks!

Awesome! Great C7! It hung in there real well. I have a C7 Z51 and just bought a C8 Z51. Can’t wait for track time! Thanks for the great content!

Thanks man! I have driven the C8 Z51 on track and it feels like a more planted C7 Z51 where the rear tires have better traction and it’s more difficult to lose the rear (oversteer). I loved it. Smart move, having a warranty for your track car is worth a LOT.

@@RecordsRebuilds I went to the Corvette museum in October and I drove to C8 Z 51 coupe and I loved how I handled. I was chasing a C7 Z 51 and was on his tail. I just got the convertible because I like the fact that it’s a hardtop convertible and you don’t lose trunk space. Wish you the best with your c8!

Glad to see a new video! I took my Z06 to Firebird raceway here in Idaho this weekend and had a blast!

Chente, that’s awesome! You should post the film to KZread, I’d love to see that beast in action. Major respect to anyone who tracks a C8 Z06!

It was impressive how you were able to hang in there. The white Z07 ate your breakfast. but you were able to stay within 10s of your friend it seemed. A friend of mine decided that the money he had set aside for his Z06 would be better spent elsewhere. Before he could call to cancel his reservation, they called him to tell him that he was next in line. THE MOST DIFFICULT CONVERSATION EVER... If you have the means to own it, then go for the Z06. If you do not have a place to keep it, it will just be a third track car, or if finances dictate then I would pass.

Wise words.

well, considering the HUGE difference in power, I can't see how they didnt walk away so you did a great job.

Great video...Buy a car from the auction. Since you are so mechanically inclined you can buy a rebuild vehicle and save a ton of money. Just a thought. I'm in the process of buying two C8's.

I have thought about it, but they made the frame much more difficult to repair on the C8 and it’s often difficult to tell what needs replaced until the car arrives in your driveway.

awesome..that G meter on the right is very cool. I could feel the pressure in the seat of my pants together with the inputs of the sound and visuals. I am wondering if the z51 has that in the dash or is that something aftermarket.

Z51 has it onboard, but this is from an aftermarket Garmin device.

I think that C7 has about 5-6 seconds to pull out of your lap time. What tires are you running?

Good eye! You were correct, the next session I was able to get the lap time down to 2:36 (4 seconds faster) and I think I could have taken another 2 seconds off by being more aggressive coming in to 1 and 12. I was still working my way down to later braking markers and I don’t think I pushed it as hard as I could have.

Oh, and I was running Goodyear Supercar 3’s.

210hp difference? You got to be kidding. I can see 100 making that difference, but 210 ..they should have been lapping you. Great job..time to start modifying her and making her really proud. Then you can say the zo6 has nothing on you. PERIOD> no EXCUSES ... gitterdone! Supercharge it...Bump up the crank HP to 650 WHEEL horsepower , stay out of the wall, and have fun!!! of course, im not paying for it, so might as well bump it up to 850 :)

Lol, I’ve spent so much time taking basket cases and getting them back in OEM shape that I don’t enjoy modifying cars much. Maybe I’ll get into it some day. With this Stingray though, it’s got 55,000 miles and something like 36 hours of track time and it’s never had a malfunction. It’s just so dang reliable. I have really enjoyed its dependability and that would probably go away with mods. I’ll get there some day I’m sure, just not yet.
