I know a lot of Corvette enthusiasts will disagree with me, but I think their decision to make the Corvette mid engine was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to the car. IMO I always thought the previous gen vettes with the front engine were cool, but I never considered them special or unique, I kinda just felt they were glorified Camaros. But when they came out with the mid engine C8, I really thought it brought a special and exotic feel to the corvette for the first time. Especially this Z06 with the flat plane V8 really makes this feel special.

Man, I watch car videos on KZread a lot but this one got my heart racing. Its an intense car. Wow. It's crazy how it goes from relaxed in town to totally waking up on the canyons. Wish they got more feedback through the steering.

The fact that this car in Z07 guise can run with a 992 GT3 RS is wild. GM made a monster with the C8 Z06. Oh, and coupe all the way for me; you gotta have that engine on display, and the coupe is lighter!
Miles, Thank You for filling my weekends with the sound of a singing Corvette engine! The music of the Z06 5.5 litre V8 is matched by the beautiful scenery through the windshield.

The C6 Z06 had a bespoke engine as far as Corvettes are concerned. No other Vette had the monstrous 7.0 L LS7 … But the Camaro did get it for the Z28 in 14-15’ I had that car for a few years so wanted to point that out. But your videos overall are great man

I’m happy with the vert. I’ve had pangs of regret as the silhouette of coupe is fire. But the 1/4 shot from the rear on the vert has me looking back every time. It’s got that Spaynish bull type thang going on you know lol. I’m white with black top and nalences. Honestly I only share as you just have the best review of the c8z06 I’ve seen. And I’ve see. All.

"Phased out" MilesPerHr has jokes. 🤣
Darker blues are my go-to colors, and the Elkhart Lake/Riptide Blues are spectacular. If I were to order one, I would go with the body color cowls and Inlet, along with the ground effects in carbon flash, and have them paint-matched. I'd also choose the natural dipped interior color instead of that weird two-tone blue. IMO, that would definitely make the Vette in blue pop.
Convertible. I want to drive with my hair on fire. Hope you feel better, Miles!

Hello, first of all thank you for the video, it's my dream car with the color I want. (I hope the zo6 will come to Europe soon). I wanted to know about the head-up display, in your videos the display flashes, is it because of the camera you're filming with or is it always in flashing mode ? And ofc the cabriolet its better ;)

It’s like a few years ago The SLS was labelled powerful naturally aspirated V8
Mid engine changes so many characteristics of the New and Greatly improved Corvette
I think it would have looked better in rapid blue with that interior, it matches a lot better IMO.
So~~ jealousy! I do love Z06 new 5.5 flatplane sound and power! From ordinary Camaro6 SS owner!
You forgot to talk about the speedometer projector on the front
I have a 21 c 8 z51 and im ready to trade up to Z O 6 although might as well wait for ZR-1

This dude comparing an R8 with this clown car 😂🤣 just because it’s a clone of a Ferrari doesn’t mean it’s even in the class of an R8. Btw the interior so tacky. I can find everything in the interior for my C5 too. The door stitch cloth is like $200 bucks on eBay. Flat top and bottom steering wheel wooohoo my 20 year old car has that too. Alcantara with carbon fiber steering wheel. That sound sounds like a Ferrari. Nothing screams corvette. Corvette means revolutionary not tacky.

Great review, you have reviewed a whole bunch of European “Dream cars” yet you have a Cadillac and more than like the Vette.. would you own one of those Euro machines ? Or something keeping you away from the Euros?
@MilesPerHr
11 ай бұрын
I love the Euro machines (I did own an E36 M3). I strongly considered the M5 CS, and adore the AMG GT63 S. For me, it came down to performance value for money. The Blackwing was cheaper, and was slightly more engaging to drive. If I can afford it one day, I'll buy a 911 GT3. I've just made decisions based on the current crop of cars and what my budget matches.
At age 69, love the car but oh boy, still at 6'1", hard time getting in and out and feel very claustrophobic in it. Give me that big old 67 coupe, feel like Eddie Albert in Green acres sitcom driving that big tractor and large steering wheel. Convertible is the better looking version, imo.

There is something about your camera angle in all these videos where it always looks like you are going downhill. This car is insane but I was so confused how u were speeding in such a steep decline but i realized it was the way the camera just pointed more heavily downward than usual maybe?
How does it compare to 911 GT3 or Turbo S?
@MilesPerHr
11 ай бұрын
The Turbo S is so so fast, but lacks soul (to me). The GT3 is one of my all-time favorite cars, and if we were talking about the coupe version of this Z06, is would be an extremely difficult decision - one over the other. My love of the GT3's manual would contrast with my infatuation with the Z06's Flat-plane V8. Don't make me choose!
@10:09 Wasn’t the LS7 in the C6 bespoke? 🤔
I had to think twice when he said NA engine :D
Coupé all the way! But it still looks terrific. What is your favourite color?
C6 was bespoke for the z06 and the z28 Camaro of the time
Ya know alot of these folks dont get it but i drove a beat up 04 dodge ram with that good old thin truck glass, rusted out running boards and cab corners both rear shocks blown out and in desperate need of a tie rod end. Road noise is fine in these new corvettes. It was fine in the c7 and even the c6. They are fine. Dont like the road noise? Get a car with smaller narrower tires.
this over gt3 ...
The Z06 in reality, knocked ALL of the predecessors off the Corvette list for almost super-car status. In am just remembering the guy who paid $100,00 over list for the C8!
Yeah the dream cars , most expensive cars .

I just personally don't understand why someone would get the convertible over the coupe. You can take the roof off the coupe too, just takes 30 seconds of work. The convertible costs more and hides the beautiful engine. So why pay to hide the engine when you can get the same experience without paying more and still seeing the engine?
Blackwing or this?

@@Luke-cb3ly2.5 compared to 2.6 in the Z06 in perfect conditions, so there’s not much spacing between the two on paper. On the other talking points, I agree; the E-Ray is set up to naturally be the more street friendly car with its AWD, hybrid assistance, still having the LT2, and being available in the widest all season tires ever produced. Me though, give me the visceral and wild experience of that race engine in the Z06 any day.
Upset that dealers r asking crazy ‘market adjustments’. Great car at $140k. Don’t want to pay $200k.
