Nurburgring TF - Corvette C6 Z06 -

Corvette C6 Z06 2007 - New rebuilt engine - Around 600 hp - It's crazy fast - Ohlins TTX suspension - Pirelli Trofeo R tires on stock wheels. Much traffic but still a really quick lap.

    Good driver encountering over take situations a regular race wouldn't contain. Looking ahead and giving car room that was coming up on a slow car prevented a bad accident 👍

    Look at all of those moving chicanes! A few scary moments like the dive at 3:02, the Saab at 3:22 and the Porsche running into a seemingly stopped car at 4:30. But kudos to other drivers for not doing anything stupid and staying out of the way. Love the sound of the tires begging for mercy under braking and cornering! The Porsches were playing gansta until they heard the LS7 growl above 5 grand and got scared 🙂. You obviously know what you are doing, your machine and your track. Massive respect for your driving skills.

    Sure, the Corvette has been dead since they killed the six cylinder, then it died again when it got fuel injection, then it died when it got hamstrung by CAFE, then it died again when it got ABS and traction control, then it died when they implemented 1-4 skip shift, then it died again when they killed the manual, then it died when they made it a hybrid, and it's gonna die again in a handful of years when it's an EV@@CorePathway

    rough rule of thumb, roller cams (like most modern overhead valve V-8s) are good for 4500 rpm power band. So 3-7K is decent. What is really cool is that with proper tuning, it will run at 1000rpm, which is a 40mph cruise in 6th gear - and from experience, when your behind someone that doesn't understand the 40mph speed limit, it will 'work' at 35mph as well (pretty much idle).

    That's my dream car! When the C6 Z06 dropped I thought this was the baddest car ever, and it was for the US. When the ZR1 came in 2009 I knew it was the end of Corvette as I had always known it: RWD, pushrod V8, normally aspirated. at 505hp this was a hammer of a car and it beat the piss out of lots of folks who thought they were racing "just another Corvette"......your only clues were the little slit for the intake, some brake vents, and a little badge that said 505hp. Thank you for posting this!! I've owned two Corvettes, still own my 1972 LT-1, and I will on day own a 2011-2012 Z06. Those years because of the options and colors, but yeah 2013 was the last real Corvette if you ask me.
