650 hp Track Prepped C6 Z06 Corvette 

Come join us LIVE on Revved Up every Monday at 5 pm (pst) with cool guests

john: *talking about the racing alignment* me: “smart dude” john: “c6 is the most beautiful corvette” me: “oh yeah this guy really knows his shit”

The amount of knowledge John was throwing at us in this video was awesome! 🤘🏾

Incredible. I could watch a 15-hour video of John talking setups and driving.

Vettes are always awesome, but that license plate is golden

Squirrely 1000+ hp Vette? Bah humbug! I'll take one like this. Well sorted, planted to the ground and easy to push hard. This is the kind of machine that makes the driver look like a pro. I like it a lot. And great production quality too.

I went into this thinking; 'not my style, but I'll show my support to ALA by watching it.' Now I'm thinking;' WHAT A COOL RIDE, set up just the RIGHT way!'

Love seeing different variations on cars on the year. Would be super nice to see more track cars on the channel or hill climb builds, rally cars etc.

"Many miles per hour" I love it haha. This is seriously the perfect daily, track, time attack car period. And what a cool guy and what an amazing museum. Lookin forward to the next one

For all you corvette haters out there. This zeds for you!!

Sweet car. Small correction-Corvettes didn't get a composite rear leaf spring until 1981. Before that they were steel. Front transverse leaf springs were introduced in '84.

I love my track spec C6Z. One of the best platforms ever made and still setting time attack records.

Damn John I could listen to his technical talk

😂 I was lucky enough to ride in this car with John and its mind blowingly fun. Super cool guy, family and Museum!

I love him going into the weeds with the suspension and camber setup. It gives me ideas for my Z06's setup

One of my favorite episodes

This is how a properly built corvette should handle and sound. No need for super loud and raspy exhaust. Them yellow vettes in Le Mans series is what really did it for me.

As good as the cars are, the real deal is Shaun and his crew. They get the most magnificent shots of the cars and the sounds that they make. Great work guys!!!

I agree. The C6 Z is the best looking modern Vette :⁠-⁠) Cheers from Canada

Absolutely love how this C6 Z06 is so dialled in ! Heck of a car and one hell of a good driver. Man do I ever enjoy your work ALA !

C6 Corvettes are king!!!! Love the 7.0 427!!! Timeless design👍👍👍👍💯🇺🇸

............hmmmmmmm, Did someone get a new video editorrrrrrrr? lol fawk'n SICK video my dudes ! !

Nothing sweeter then a car dialed in with a good Balanced suspension and drivetrain tuned and set to be driven without abusive behavior from the car... its a ride like most dont understand but once they experience that type of handling and ride with performance they fully competently understand, a car that doesn't handle properly and a driver that dont understand is a accident waiting to happen its always only a matter of time... Beautiful setup on this car way to go and I so happy you did this maybe it will get these others to stop and think before they drive cars that only need some good tuned in suspension to make their cars a stable safer better ride to drive... ❤❤

You started the drive with an "oh shit face" but by the end it was more of a "Hell Ya face." Cool Episode! I like the longer videos, it's more of what I want to watch.

This Guy definitely knows Wat he's talking about, he can tune my car anytime...😎

Top shelf video and loved every minute. Car, driver, host, editing... It all gels. Bravo

That’s why we left Southern California. Where we live now it’s kind of like California was 50 years ago with no restrictions it is a total blessing and your Ca. Dollar goes along way out here. Again love your show keep up the good work and be safe. That GTR was killer I laughed so hard watching your facial expression I had tears rolling down my face

My favorite year for the Z06, just how square the setup looked and how it performed out of the box. This one goes to 11 though. Super rad.

Performance per cubic dollar still cannot be beat with the corvette.

Best episode ever! Like two best buds ! This guy's got worlds of knowledge! 20 year old in a old man's body! Awesome stuff!!

Truly a next level episode for the channel. Excellent job! Documentary level without missing the essence of AutotopiaLa.

Heck of a driving lesson learned something new.

24:32 "I don't know what it is, it just makes me smile." -Sean It's a Corvette Sean. That's what they do!

Another sweet ride from my favorite channel to watch! You and your crew do such a great job.

Excellent Explanation On This Modified Corvette, And What Makes Driving It Fast . . . . Larry Hernandez

This guy is awesome! You have to appreciate his knowledge for a car setup per track! Genius!

Love the C6. This one is a little too track oriented for me, but it's done right, and I appreciate the level of expertise that went into it. Everything was done with much thought and experience.

Long live the LS7

Great episode! I could just sit and listen to John talk race cars all day! What a wealth of knowledge that man has!! I was already wanting a C6 Z06 now I really want one.

The editing (especially the intro) is top notch!

FIRST: Happy belated New Year!!! SECOND: HOT DAMN!!!!!

Guarantee the rod went through the block because it had factory linamar heads. Every LS7 has potential cylinder head problems. Most people wont even buy a used C6 Z06 or Z28 if the previous owner didnt send the heads out or get new aftermarket ones. West Coast Cylinder Heads is a great company for LS7 heads.

I learned some stuff watching this episode. Something I already knew is you can build an American car and keep up with the expensive exotics for a fraction of the cost.

Great looking car. I'm amazed at the variance between the left and right suspension camber settings despite the target track having a greater number of left hand turns. The increase in spring rates sounds minimal but it is very much needed on the C6 for track work. Great video and great insight by the owner/builder!

Man that just makes me want to build my C6 up. Such a badass ride.. Thanks for this video..

I understood it all because thats how i setup my cars suspension for Limerock park. Great video!

Has to be my favorite video so far, the information and reactions were the greatest

Greatttt point about he posi . That is some important information many dont know especially a road racer.

This guy is a hero 11:29

Love guys like John who are smart smart guys telling what is behind the blend of technology geared towards the driver enthusiast

Excellent job presenting a phenomenal car!

Love the videos brother! Beautiful car…..makes me proud I own one.

Wow. Absolutely great video! the race knowledge and technical expertise is epic... just wow. Thank you Autotopia LA

That looked like a lot of fun. Happy New Year Everyone

Wow I'm hooked. John just keep talking.

GREAT INTRO!

Also , I LOVE that license plate 😂😂😂👌🏽

Enjoyed the history and the ride along; SUBSCRIBED...

The sweetest C-6! 👍

That is a definite track weapon. Silent but deadly

Great video , really enjoyed modified Vette 👍

Good job keep them coming I love what you are doing

8:11 😅 yeah buddy........ Awesome shawn ...... Greetings from india🇮🇳🤠🤠🤩🤩🤘🏻🙌 superb

Never realized what a LIGHTWEIGHT Shawn is behind the wheel. He needs to go to a driving school and adress his fears.

This is an awesome video, John is so knowledgeable and passionate about driving and car set up.

This guy has forgotten more about racing than I’ll ever know. What great content. Thank you!

This episode was great, badass corvette with a super cool driver full of knowledge

Absolutely awesome content! John is crazy knowledgeable, and seems like a blast to be around.

Power to weight masterpiece

Great intro, excellent camaras angle, happy New Year to everyone!!!!🎉

Love those tight corners!!! One of the things I love about driving my Mustang is taking turns so quick! Marconi is really got Shawn puckering!!! 😈😈🤪

That’s some driving right there

Great video! I grew up in Irvine and learned how to drive back in Trabuco canyon. Bitchin Vette , great museum and cool people.

Wicked~Awesome vid to start the new year! Thanks for sharing.🔥🤘🏻🏴‍☠️

Absolutely awesome way to start off the year brother

C6 Z06 is a beast. I had one when they were brand new. Great build for sure. Would have loved to have developed the suspension like this one.

What a monster of a car!!! The grip just looks insane on camera. And love the lessons on suspension, it’s awesome. Great video!!!

Cool video, really cool car!

C6 is the GOAT. What a great example of a well built track car. That Grand Sport is sweet too!

What a great car, set up the right way! That is how a hot rod should be built and driven. Sure you remember that is my mind set too. Happy New year!

First class!! You make a great team

Happy New Year. Glad your back. Another great video has always. What a awesome car Collection. Love the red that is a beautiful car. Would love to drive it.

Je vous souhaite une exellente année 2024 pleine de superbes voitures mon cher Mr Autotopia !! Bonne continuation, continuez de nous faire rêver

Some excellent driving skills here 👌🏽. Loved the car too.

Nice build. Very similar to mine. Such a blast on track.

Awesome track Corvette Well sorted for its purpose Happy New Year 🎉😁👍👍🤙

Hey, man, welcome back after your brief hiatus and Happy New Year. Would love to meet Mr. Marconi and see his collection. First class guy and to build that big of a performance car with that little of a budget (relatively speaking) is beyond impressive. He knows his stuff.

I had a 606HP Callaway Corvette. Callaway builds a quality vehicle. I love Corvettes your only allowed one mistake. Great episode and an amazing Corvette. Brings back many memories and thrills. Keep up the great work. James

Love the vettes and this is just sick

I learned a few things listening to this guy, proper way to setup a car 👊🏼

That's awesome.

Great video guys that c6 is proper track weapon. Proud c6z owner myself 💪.

U guys had a great time.

Beauty Vette. Luv the Plate.

Awesome car

Great job on this video ATLA! Production value is on point, some of your best, and content is fantastic. Keep ‘‘em coming. (Corvettes preferred 😅)

This is what I like . Non traction limited with ENOUGH hp + light + suspension + aero for useable power to go fast , not a car that IS fast a car that can be driven fast and with a good pilot can scare a passenger more then a 1200 wheel HP car going " straight " that needs to be pedalled . Something you can run up in most situations without too much worry like this on public roads when dry and a car where you stay in it to sqaure it up , which as he noted is basically a cardinal rule , dont panic and let out if you expect to recover from oversteer and particularly a car set up right that handles better the faster you go and when you load it up . Hearing about the guy who flipped his car , you wonder what he is doing on that track to make such a mistake . You need to take a car like that some place open and get it out of contol where there are no consequences a bunch and get used to that feeling and no panic so you dont cause a tank slapper / snap oveersteer / mustang leaving event . Knowing the car your driving is way more important then the car itself for most people , a great driver can drive almost anything fast the same way a great guitarist can pick up a 100.00 or toy guitar and make it sound good but if your not that you ned to know your instrument/ tool a bit to get something good from it . Know your tires as well which would be similar to playing with different string guages perhaps .

Very nice C6! Love the car love the video!

I had to double-check to make sure I was watching an autopia LA video

Think this is the best track build Corvette I seen. Can see more and get more detail on the car build
