2019 Corvette ZR1 - Big, Bad, Ugly? | Everyday Driver 

Bugumir 🤣😂🤣😂Hell Yeah!!!!!

No insurance would take you on. Lol

That would bankrupt GM! ... Oh right, they're not bothered. Bring it on!

1:45 .. its still a Chevy.... and that’s great .. who needs branded name ? most of branded name cars are all automatic and have no attitudes and very girly

I LOVE IT!!!!

@@BubuElisa All American cars ar girly then, You americans can't drive stick for shit. Wait scrap that, you guys just can't drive in general.

Were u from probally old cars @@EduSanjuan777

@@EduSanjuan777 what country are you from? Mabey you should go back there and complain about your own crap there!

RED_10R buying a car and not driving it is like not having sex with your gf to save her for the next guy

RED_10R If you hate it, buy one for yourself and drive it to your heart’s content. Problem solved. And the others can choose to drive or not to drive their cars.

@@blueberrycobbler I did

I hate when people try to tell other people what to do with their cars

@@jlopez1017d just my opinion. But these cars are meant to be drivin. But I get what u mean.

Hell Yeah I Would To Listen To Them Pipes

ok 150 thousand then ok

@@79tazman starts at 118k.

This hurts me a lil bit 🥹. I want to own one someday.

I bought a 2010 C6 ZR1 new - and still drive it today! It is still an amazing car and I almost never get beat - even motorcycles fall from a 60mph roll (in controlled track situations of course!) I don't get the heat soak that the C7's seem to be prone to in a lot of the videos. I lusted after the 2019 ZR1 but my finances aren't ready for another 100+k car at the moment. I've been Bidened out of the market or Covided depending on your POV. LOL I'm gonna have to spend some money on it soon to clean up the little things that happen after 12+ years, Cracked splitters, wiper occasionally sticking like the motor isn't working right, hatch clunks and they actually put new cats in when one of them self-destructed a couple of years ago. I thought the motor had let loose! But it still runs strong and handles like a race car. Tires are EXPENSIVE. I run a Porsche tire that is a little larger, and stickier and that the tire stores around here can actually mount. I ran into huge problems getting the run-flats installed anywhere.

@@ZLwh1ne I feel you!

Enjoy and be safe!

You are correct! I don't own this corvette, but I break loose at 65mph in 2nd gear in my Challenger Hellcat 6-speed, and while initially scary, you just laugh after you gained control and continue on to illegal speeds😁

I am in a 5spd Silvia and break loose in 3rd still doing 60. Its nothing special.

@@EvLSpectre what size of tires are on your silvia?

@@Jaystring09 Right now, 225/45 SA07s, will easily break loose before getting into boost, but even when I ran 245/35R17 R1Rs, they would still break loose, albeit once the turbo spools. Doesn't take alot of power honestly, my old NB with like 120whp would still break loose on COMP-2s.

same problem with the Z06, too much power, not enough grip in the rear. motor trends head2head showed the Z06 at 70mph in second gear would break loose. Should have taken a page from the viper acr, better dampening, and 1800 lbs of downforce. Then the vette would wreck everything.

Unless you drive the shit out of it. I daily drove an s281 saleen mustang for 2 years back in 2008 when I was 28, and I drove the absolute shit out of that car. Granted it wasnt like this, but it was still a 55 grand 465hp car back 11 years ago, and I loved it

I would use a stealth fighter to dust crops!!! You would get done faster, and no one would see you!!! 😂😂😂

Hahahahahahha

Sounds like fun!

Ren Hoek not that exciting, I daily the previous generation zr1.

Actually all the cars at $150k outperform it while looking better. Acura NSX, Porsche 911, McLaren 570s, MB AMG GTR spank this ugly thing. There is a reason they can't sell these

None of those cars can spank the new ZR1. Those cars you listed would struggle against the previous ZR1.

Can we just like cars they all have four wheels with a radio, that wanna go fast.

@@dexterjsullen I do like all the cars he mentioned, especially the AMG GTR. I'm just correcting him, that's all.

@@swanblake The Ford GT outperforms all of the cars you listed. The ZR1 outperformed the Ford GT, at least at VIR. The ZR1 outperforms most performance cars period.

I don't think they've created an adjective appropriate to the... What do you call it .exhaust note ? Naw ..too pansy, ? I don't know.. Glorious it is ..WOW..murican..

👍

You’ll need that warranty with all the damn recalls and reliability issues with American cars these days lol

@@SHIFTERJason It turns out those are a myth. Outside of cars made by dodge, they're mostly dead reliable up to 300k miles.

Brian Kennelly oh really, so the brand new Silverado breaking down constantly is a myth. Or millions of recalls in a year. Or the new mid engine corvette being delayed again because it keeps breaking down

@@SHIFTERJason I am aware of the Silverado. That's an exception to the rule. Aside from that exception, they're light years more reliable than any modern German, Swedish or Italian cars. Fact.

@@SHIFTERJason also im not referring to brand new models. I'm referring to the ones that have filled our road ways for the past 50 years. They run FOREVER. I have had many. And they all reached 300k no problem. One ford of mine made it to 500k+.

The Mil-Sim guy is here. Who could've thought. Just so you know Drewski, your videos have inspired me to start a RU-vid channel. Although my laptop can't play Arma 3 at the moment due to thermal issues. I might return to MilSim when I can afford a PC. Respect dude.

Woah what's drewski doing here lol. I would love to get a peak of your car in a video

Snap. Matt's bro in da house!

Glad to know we helped you find a car you love! That's why we do this. Thanks for watching!

Hey drewski

Hello Friend...

it's not all that "outrageous", it's just a vette. a pagani is outrageous.

@@zzz7zzz9 Eh, a pagani is pretentious. Outrageous not so much.

@@MuShinnen well, a corvette is certainly not "outrageous" in any way.

@@zzz7zzz9 Never claimed it was mate.

@@MuShinnen no i know, just refering to the op.

I let my day take mime out cuz his was in the shop so when he was coming home i thought we was finna get bombed

Ford gt

I'm a Chevy guy and I'd cut mine off for a GT...bad ass cars are bad ass cars.

I would cut your bag off for that car also.

Thank you! We appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

Bill Yates Especially the big nasty Z06.

I bet it’s a joy to drive

You're welcome ;)

Thrilled to hear we helped you find a car you love. Our videos and podcast are ultimately focused on exactly that. Thanks for watching and enjoying what we do!

😳 oh my gosh, I didn’t know that was even possible, *going to watch video now

Glad you found us! We are primarily on TV/Amazon Prime now but we will still be putting videos up here from time to time. For TV check us out on The Motor Trend Network Saturday mornings (set your DVR!), the channel can also be found on Hulu TV. On Amazon Prime our first two seasons are free with Prime.

@@phattyhales Have Prime. Will tune in! tyvm.

Also highly recommend the podcast!

I think it's called "Sebring Orange".

Video or not true lol

👍

@@thorandmoljnir it is sebring orange, how did he get the name of the color wrong?

Welcome to the Vette Family! Vettetopia LIFE! 😎

Holy crap people are crazy

Need to see the aftermath! I'm guessing it's only in the video they're selling?

Of course it was a damn crossover

I really wanna know what happened, lol. Anyone actually know if it's mentioned/shown anywhere, like in the Prime video?

Printing...

Time to win the LOTTO

yall enjoy that big ass car note every month

Get me one too

Probably has to do withthe lack of content

Blake Swan yea they mostly focus on their TV show and features

North Star Ken it is so sick

Sweet car! I got my dream car (Challenger Hellcat 6-Speed), but have always loved the Z06.

Both your cars makes mine look pretty wimpy GT3 with only 500 hp what a great time we live in when 500 hp barely gets you in the club!!!!!

@@gtperfection1596 GT3 😍

@@gtperfection1596 Not always about the power unless you're after bragging rights. The GT3 is a phenomenal car and would be my choice over the current ZR1 but with the "T" option. Not a fan of big wings even though the GT3 pulls off the look better than the the wing on the ZR1. Honestly the Z06 would be my choice before the ZR1.

Lee Douglas: What year is your Z & do you have an A8 or M7? I have an '18 WGG M7 Z06/07. I only have 1,946 miles on it so far. I wish I had time to drive it more but I don't. Though if I could afford it I'd also have a 720s & Huracan Performante in the driveway. The Z06 w/Z07 pkg. is great but it also has issues getting the power down to the ground effectively, like the ZR1. They have also packed on too much weight (C6 Z06 weighed 3,150 lbs for comparison).

Speed limit federal prison

We've brought up this exact point a few times on our Podcast. We'd love to see it too!

Todd's breakdown of this on the podcast is spot on. A midengine supercar, a front engine sports car, and an entry-level car around the size of an 86. I know that car would probably need to be more budget, but I'm thinking an 86-sized car with styling queues from a C7 GrandSport and the ATS-V drivetrain. That car would rip!

The chief Corvette engineer Tadge Juechter has been saying that he'd love to make Corvette its own brand for years, and he said it would be similar to how Porsche operates.

@@blakeok952 Exactly, if it branches off still under the GM umbrella... It would need to be a clean break. Just like Porsche, the Flagship mid. eng. would have to be 5x times the current price of a C7. The tiny "Miata Vette" would be like 45K and our current FR Eng. C7's would probably cost 15-25% more. Plus expect to see a VetUV (yes Corvette SUV) because not one major vehicle brand is SUV-less... *Please no comments like **_"kOeNiGsEgG dOsEnT hAvE a sUv"_*

Because it's a dodge. Chryslers are the biggest fanboys

More affordable would be my guess

@@noidontthinksololI'd rather have no car than a car that breaks down all the time

M773 Lol ive seen classic corvettes with 200k+ and run like new.

M773 my last car has over 190k miles and worked perfectly fine, my dad has this Chevy van with over 240k miles and the only reason why he sold it was cuz it had a v6.

Yup, Rob (Spaghetti) Ferretti and Matt Farrah from TST spoke on a podcast about this, and agreed that on curvy canyon/backroads 350-400hp is pretty much the most of what you'll ever be able to use.

Some of us are lucky to live close to unrestricted Autobahns where all the horsepower can be unleashed

@@Anders_HeymSR30 true. I forgot to include that because I don't live in germany, but even then you're not able to utilize the handling abilities of a near race spec car

Im insane

There's always club racing and HPDE at your local road racing track. You can use all the power, all the brakes, and all the available grip there!

Shoot i still love the lt4 C4 vettes & C4 zr1 with the lt5. All vettes are nice

@@eastoakland-S65feen Hell yeah, over the last 2 years they've been growing on me and their affordable!

@@Tommy_Boy1978 exactly even a basic lt1 c4 with the 383 stroker kit is still reasonably cheap. Ill looking at some but dont want automatic

@@eastoakland-S65feen I'll buy buy a manual or automatic, as long as it isn't a 84 with the shitty crossfire injection system

Srchangwaytogo C. You can feel the Corvette turning the Earth itself.

That's what I said at 10:06!

No

Yeah you can. Just have to prove it’s a stick exhaust if they make you

you do realize that California is home to many rich guys with over-the-top obnoxious cars, right?

the rich who can afford supercars don't care about silly laws. fines are nothing to them.

If its factory then you are fine unless the car is not allowed to be sold in Cali.
