2006 Corvette Z-06, Viper SRT10, Porsche Cayman S | Track Comparo | Retro Review 

Stay hurting my friend

Lies. At 175mph, you’d be dead already with no safety measures except for an airbag lol

Ouch saying that out loud kind of hurt me 😂

Don't remind me

Nice GTO man

Nossa corvette Porsche Dodge viper que máquina pontent 👍👍👍☕☕

That's becuz cars reached their peaked around this time, modern but still analog, the auto industry is so over regulated now I don't even get excited for new cars anymore

With clutch, cam , heads, intake and full bolt ons it destroys alot of cars of today.

Yup! I just got my c6 z06 in september love it

3.8 seconds to 60mph 👀 wow

Hell i just have a ls3 c6 and even thats a great car in 2023, enjoying the hell out of it

@@Eurolaflare LS3 is the best LS engine produced.

I just saw Vette and liked your comment.

Smiles per gallon:)

Go outside bro

Damn man... are you alright?

Lmao you need a job buddy

Damn! 8 hours? That can't be good for your eyes man. I mean I love RU-vid as well but not for 8 hours- that's a full work shift!

@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 How about encouraging him to make better choices and habits rather than insulting him, Karen.

Yeah the Corvette has always delivered a lot of bang for the buck even if the engine and suspension are old tech.

Well duh if that's your only criteria Now factor in market value, build quality, and style... the Viper wins easy in fact they're still going up in value.

@@BRAINFxck10@BrainFuck10 the value of the viper is going up because nobody bought it, just like the MK4 supra and the NSX almost didn't sell that why price increases

@@NegativoZ06 And the MK4 A80 Supra (Fourth generation) wasn't all that compared to a base model C4 Corvette and Vipers of the 1990s. Especially the C5 Corvette and the Dodge Viper GTS Coupes

@@bghoody5665old pushrod engine and tech still whooping that ass tho lol

I would take it over the C8 Z06 any day

65k from 2006 - thats 96k today.

I can get a low mile, C6 Z06 for 60 grand Canadian today. But then you have the Valve issues to deal with. I heard you stay away from 06-07 Z06's and you wont have such issues. I bagg my 08 C6 Z51, with the ls3 lots. And it just takes it. I might put 13500$(2.3 magnuson blower) in it this spring. Or maybe just headers and a cam.

@@christopherrobin1505 All LS7 engines had the issue, it's total BS that it was only the first two years.

A solid machine shop that does regular performance headwork can get the valve guide issue sorted. Or, a ported set of LS3 heads will also flow just as well as ported LS7 heads. Need a more robust valve spring for the stainless valves vs the titanium valves in the Z06. Personally, if I had a Z06 Id spend the money on getting the factory heads fixed so the original engine is complete.

​@@ssoffshore5111the z28 ones didn't have the issue just the z06 ones.

....both red. ;)

I've got a 982 with a 2.0L turbo. It doesn't have the sound but it's got the acceleration and handling!

@@billschlafly4107 No doubt a better performing car than, and call me old-fashioned, but I don't know if I could own a Porsche than anything less than a flat-six! That six-cylinder symphony is half the reason to buy the car. Not hating on the new stuff just to hate though, nothing wrong with them.

Get one, you'll never want to sell it!

Ehh, straight outclassed here. Wrong Porsche for the test.. it’s more of a daily driver

Electric = Motor. Petro = Engine.

General Motors is trying to get away from the electric b.S. And Toyota is still creating Internal Combustion Engines

@@charlesbakston7414 when has Toyota made an engine bigger then a 2.0 in the past 10 years outside of a truck/SUV application?

@@Altavilla22Mike Your point is????

@@charlesbakston7414 my point is they are not making any big engines anymore, which was the point of my original comment, which seems to have been lost on you

Idk about low 3s this was a pretty good time for what it was considering its a manual. The tires weren't as garbage as people wanna let on this was just 2006 lol. Obviously they're better now but more than half a second off of an already really good time is eternity. I don't see it. They are awesome though.

👍

Lol, my DD is a black 2008 C6Z and I have a blue and white 1996 UGR TT GTS in the garage. I love both and can't imagine selling either after all these years!

If it was 10 years ago it would be 2012. More like 17 years ago. But you might ot know that, especially when you couldn't finish spelling the word years.

@@BrandonHanson Not correcting you, although technically I am, but just pointing out how fast time is, faster than these cars. : ) 10 years ago would not be 2012 but rather 2013. Yes, we all go -oh! in face of how time flows. :/

@@BrandonHanson you didn’t get the joke 😂

lol I'm stuck in the 90's.

Guys, Brandon Hanson him self did say: ''but you might of know that, expecially when you couldn't finish spelling the word years'' Meaning he knows what Bahraini Carguy said and did, so pls relax on Brandon. Furthermore I am thinking he may be even playing in on the joke with the: ''if it was 10 years ago it would be 2012'' comment :))) who knows maybe it's an ongoing humour? : ) You all have a great time.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Motortend can do better than that lol

That time is from a first generation viper

This is old. Modern tires and a better driver can crack a 11.8-11.9

They are still weapons, now more than ever. People are discovering 800rwhp recipes for the stock block. No additional weight from turbos or piping, no parasitic loss from a a supercharger. Absolutely crushing cars, even other Vettes with boost. Legendary car.

​@lexustech48 800 rwhp is an extremely aggressive heads cam intake setup with really high compression and really good fuel. That is like about as max effort as it gets. It's not that common is what I'm getting at it takes a full on race build basically.

It's his fault. No one ordered it dare costing up to $59,000, so next to the Corvette!

What supercars? These middle of pack sports cars?

American supercars are tend to be cheaper than European supercars. No wonder the build quality is so terrible

@@Arayig1982 v10 with over 500hp is not a middle of the pack sportscar. Come on.

@@tuomasandersson3889 you can have a thousand horsepower, doesn't make it a supercar. Ie. Demon 😈

I think you mean, Pat Goss.

@@pmafterdark Indeed. Appreciate that

And looks the best. And also the purest drivers car here

@@twhalen THANK YOU

If ya wanna get technical, Z06 is an option package that started in 1963

There was no Z06 in the 90s you might be thinking of the ZR1. First modern ZO6 was 2001.

ay get out of my youtube comments bud

Prices have gone upwards because they don't make them anymore. Wanna know why they don't make them anymore? Because NOBODY bought them when they were new.

@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 you're a ma'am after my own heart! The looks on that model are muted. The original is a work of art! No exterior door handles, and IF I recall correctly, they were designed to go head-to-head with Lambo's at the time! My friend's dad was part of the development team, so my friend and his brothers rode to school in one before they were officially released! I'm a Vette man in my heart, but that original Viper was a poster on my wall in my youth!

The only truly timeless design will prove to be the gen 2 and 5 coupes. And values today already reflect that.

Daggers 🗡hunt very well even considering when your pistols 🔫 have run out of bullets.

American brute force over European precision engineering? Proving a point?

@KenanTurkiye If they had 2 European cars that made 70%+ more power then an American car they brought I'd ask the same question.

@@stevend3753 I was referring to the programme, bringing in American brute force to dominate over European engineering, it's nice that you are fair Steven. : ) I personally am not pro or against either American or Euro cars, as long as it's good. But I do not like many French cars, especially the modern ones. lol

@@KenanTurkiye More than one way to achieve an outcome. What the EU fans tend to miss is the market here in the US will not support a domestic car with equal or slightly better performance for the big premium needed to justify using better materials. In the case of GM they spend on the drivetrain and suspension..etc. and save in other areas. Now that said, C8 Z06 will certainly flip this and have the EU car manufacturers scrambling to compete at a lower price point than they usually target. Oh and just in case some of you EU fans forgot US brute force manufacturing is the reason we aren't all speaking German. You're welcome.

Yeah it was definitely out of place, and underpowered big time 😆

More like Porsche 911s against big block chevelles and barracudas.

Your comparison is too far

No because these cars weren't far off on pricing. The ones you mentioned are.

No electronic aids sounds like a super fun death trap!😄

Your comment proves how subjective beauty is

It says a lot about keeping a design for 8-10 years without planning obsolescence by putting undesirables in earlier designs and saving goodies for a 3 year refresh.

And yet it's the 1996 GTS that's still the most timeless and drooled-over!

my stock base 2011 C6 with the 6.2 has done 12.352 in the 1/4, thats quicker than the V10 Viper did in this video and absolutely destroys the Porsche lol cant go wrong with a vette

A person in the market for a Corvette is NOT considering a Cadillac sedan.

@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 Dr Jill, you should do your research before laughing. Check out the raving reviews on the CT5-V Blackwing with 668 hp hand built & signed Supercharged gen C7 Z06 V8, 6 speed manual. Yeah. No joke

I disagree. The C6 is freaking everywhere. I see those cars all over the road during the summer time. america loves the C6, and it's sold very well compared to it's c7 counterpart. The newest Chinese pile of junk they're putting the Corvette nameplate onto doesn't even register for most Americans. And when they release the rest of the Corvette 'brand', which will include a 4 door crossover, I don't expect the car to last much longer. Considering it's price starts above $100k, it's not wonder why so many people buy the older models instead.

I recently purchased a low-mileage C5Z, but I seriously considered spending a bit more to get that LS7. The C6Z is peak Corvette IMO, all motor, manual trans - the way a Vette should be!

I like the looks of the C6 . IMO only the C2 is more appealing.

I prefer the look of the C6 over C7. But id rather have all the new tech in the C7. C7 looks too much like a bat mobile in my eyes

I think the C6 jumped so much in performance from the C5 and that's why it was a bit less exciting when the C7 came around. The performance difference between a C5Z to C6Z is larger than to the C7Z. Same with the ZR1 from C4 to C6. They also didn't really do anything that special for the C7. They supercharged everything which is awesome but everyone was doing that by that time. The C8 is getting so much attention because it is so different than what came before. It's not that much quicker than before(it's plenty though). Ive loved everyone I've driven and have owned a C5Z, C7z51, and now a C6Z.

They are faster than this. Something is up with this viper.

Price range

@@yudhabagaskara98 sure throw in an E Class, or Rs4 while you are at it. My point remains, it's a stupid comparassion.

​@@painkilerrthey're sports cars in similar price range. I'm not sure why euro fans get butthurt that their vehicles cost alot more lol. You pay alot more money for a slightly better interior and more fancy gadgets.

Than we get a slightly slower Viper yet with better handling, and a faster Porsche yet with worse handling. Life is a balance of give and take. lol

with a 4l60e lol

LS engine would definitely outlast either of those engines for sure

@@PhillyDee215 Yup and LS would be more durable and easier/economical to repair, play with etc I agree.

You'll end up making the Porsche too heavy tho
