Corvette Z06 | Car Review | Top Gear 

If the Corvette was an Alfa Romeo he'd call it the best car ever

You know why? Because it would drive marvelous and there wouldn't be a bad steer ratios or bad suspension/ chassis setup and would drive perfectly, not reliable, just drive brilliantly.

Bad steering ratio's? Have you driven a Z06? And reliability, in an Alfa? Come on.

+Cut de Pie Fails Alfa Romeos are some of the most horribly engineered cars being made

Colds Still drive better than most cars.

Oh you know he does lol

He says it in the American special

He said the c6 zr1 was one of the best cars he’d ever driven

He loves viper, so he hates corvette

Hammond. He's the American born, unfortunately, across the pond.

Ferrari is the perfect car for people with more money than brains

i dont think any car is worth ferrari money really. its a car, one split second decision and you got a pile of spare parts

Nicolas Broszky I'd would never pay the money for one. Yeah they look nice, are fairly speedy, make a nice engine noise, BUT, they are not reliable, parts a very expensive and must be imported from Italy, they are difficult to work on, so looks like my braincells are working fine, perhaps your are in question

walksnomore 😂😂😂😂 for real

And that's not even taking into account the ridiculous expense of maintaining a Ferrari over a Z06.

A lot of the high end mid-late 2000’s performance cars from the US still look good to this day.

That Ferrari looked about 20 years older than Z06.

@@codyerickson3550 totally agreed. The Cobra R and the Trans Am WS6 are two of my favorite styled cars of all time.

@@nodo7575 20yrs older? Lol not a chance. But factually, the Ferrari was designed in the mid 90s and debuted as the F550 with a 5.5L quad cam V12, then upped to 5.75L after a refresh.

@@michaelangelo5783 It looks like it's from 1990 dude, get real.

Except the z06 doesn't have a removable roof.

All corvettes kick ass tbh

@@battyman42069 especially the newer ones. Ever since the new Stingray, they REALLY are up there!

Bit biased. Profile pic?

And 7 liters!

Did ye aye

They do tramline and with the width and the quality of roads here it's difficult to push properly

Easy to override the skip shift.

I’ve got an 07 and love it. Have to agree it’s not the best daily though. The MPG’s are baffling though. I’ve ran 600 mile road trips up and down CA while getting 32 mpg highway all day long. However, the car does whoop your ass after sitting in it for a while

@@95shagginwagon67 That's the beauty of having a very long top gear, isn't it? You can have your performance and your MPG too.

It's the real word, before the British put another vowel into it.

@@exothermal.sprocket Aluminium does make more sense elements-wise... theres alot of "ium"s on the table... plus it's more fun to say 🤷‍♂️

@@frowlinian8175 And there's also elements that don't. Platinum. Molybdenum. Tantalum. Lanthanum. Besides a host of others that don't end with "um" or "ium".

@@exothermal.sprocket right, but that's why theres multiple spellings... and there are alot more ium's than um's: 78 out of 118 end in ium, 32 dont have either, 7 end in um (one of those is off by 1 but I cant be bothered to look through again... so those are ballpark numbers)... plus the discoverer couldnt decide what it was called so literature just picked one; Brits chose one to go with the rest (including it's original name), Americans went the other route... 100 years after the element was named. It wasnt until 1925 that the American Chemical Society changed from aluminium to aluminum; which is after the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry already established that "aluminium" was the correct name... but today both parties say both are perfectly acceptable; though in scientific communities the standard is aluminium it doesnt really matter. You're not going to get laughed off stage if you present a paper that call it "Aluminum". I'm just pointing out that Brits didnt just add a vowel to be different; they did it to better standardize the periodic table and aluminum's discovery came at just the right time. For examle; when you look at something like gold or lead; those have been known and named for centuries so people arent very likely to use their new latinized names so they didnt stick although their symbols did... newer elements didnt really have that luxury so they were fit in, Hence names like Einsteinium, Americium, Curium, etc that mean nothing at all other than "this thing I like+ium"... though um is also a Latin suffix that was acceptable so idfk, science just likes their standardization. I dont think they care what it actually is so long as everyone uses the same thing

@@exothermal.sprocket we created the language first.

@@abualzuaree yea congrats man! Sounds awesome

Mifos I don't know that these will get that low any time soon. C5Zs have just now dipped below $20k and they are 20 years old. The oldest C6Zs are only 13 years old.

@@abualzuaree nice! I just picked up my first 08 C6Z! Has heads/cam and bolt ons! Block is a forged/sleeved/stroked 6.2 to a 7.0 427ci. She's built for boost, but I might sell it and just get a Z06 with the LS7 with heads/cam and boltons instead! Get compliments every time I drive it, enjoy it!

Ferruzzicati He mentioned that its modified so no.

Ferruzzicati Sure

it's the same for every american muscle/supercar. (Some say Corvette/Viper is a muscle car, but by definition they are not). For example for the price of a Mustang GT you can maybe get a NOT M BMW 3-5 series, or to mention a proper sportcar, maybe a bone stock new Supra (but probably not)

Very hard to beat in stock form

@@Inferiis I'd say the Viper is a muscle car. The Vette is a sports car, but the Viper is a muscle car.

​@@lordpumpkinhead265vettes amd viper are front engine supercars

Other then the recent ones Sir have you seen a better look then thus one?

$2500.00 oil change in the Italian Stallion......no thanks.

Joshua His point is still valid.

that is a fair point, and with that 7L LS V8 being nothing more than an overglorified truck engine, they are also more reliable and cheaper to fix and keep running. in fact, I once was at a car show where a GM engineer was talking about the engines in the new C7 corvettes, they warranty them up to 150K miles and said they have been tested up into 300K mile territory. show me a Ferarri with a similar warranty. most of them never crack 50K

Justin Noker Lol over glorified truck engine? AL block, titanium internals, hand built, weighs less than most 6cylinder engines. It’s a $25,000 engine to this day in Canada. The only thing is shares with a truck engine in the 16v OHV layout, which the C6.R and C7.R have proved is almost unbeatable.

Nah my Vette would be in the shop, getting heads and cam...

Not everyone hates them but youre right about if they drove it theyd probably have to admit its a good car in many respects and for the price its great, I had a chance to drive a third gen one and it was really exciting, of course Top Gear is going to talk it down the BBC is a government owned broadcaster and of course the UK wants to sell more British and European cars over American ones

I won't say I hate the Corvette, but I find it to be overhyped. It's a fine car for one who knows how to handle it and they are a long-running classic. Though it's not my favorite sports car (my favorite is the RX-7), I wouldn't turn down a Corvette if I could afford one.

+Justin Rios Yep.

+Rex Holmes tin foil hats on boys!

***** tons of people i know hate american cars, my dad hates every car without a Porsche badge, and how does price/performance not matter..

That's not a man, that right there, is a genius

"7 litres of American friendly fire" sent me absolutely rolling considering the aforementioned Iraqi joke, good lord that's a level of meta that I'm sure most people won't have noticed

uh huh, the British took and held the port city of Basra by the way.

If Jeremy were about to make a review of a new Lada model, he would probably make a joke involving Ukraine.

@spudnic88You sure put a lot of thought into commenting don't you? What do you drive again?

It’s really what makes him an excellent journalist

@@epicxelxl8324 You were talking about a c8 they were talking about something else

You can tell it really pained him to admit an American car was great. Not unique to Jeremy Clarkson, it is a British phenomena.

Is it reliable?

@@thearousedeunuch my only concern is the valve guide issue. Mine shouldn't be in the problem years, but I'm still going to check and replace the heads if necessary.

@@grimace2010 I see. It's good to know that these Corvettes were reliable. Back when I was younger and watched this video, I figured that lower quality was the reason why they were cheaper.

Driving my dads 2005 c6 was crazy. Felt so sticky and handled so well to the road. Even just doing a u turn it was smooth and driving around turns. He has a 2010 gt500 now that has great power and it’s smooth for daily driving but the corvette felt more nimble

On American roads it is brilliant as you don't have the width issue, interstate highways allow for smooth long distance road trips, fuel is cheap, radio stations are rubbish anyways so you don't need a good stereo and there are plenty of burger joints for you to pull over at along the way.

Agree 👍

Thats exhausting haha. Even here in the usa owning powerful cars gets easier and easier. Ordering stuff online is a breeze. Although mechanics seem to be getting worse and worse here

@@FindtheEdgeOfficial Yeah you gotta go to local small shops now or you can't really trust them. Big places love to tell you you have extra things wrong even if you had 0 problems with it before and they do it most to females. Happened to my buddies girlfriend twice and both times she took it to a smaller shop who confirmed that it was BS

It's not as impressive anymore though. Car technology has come so far since then, the C6 Z06 was a real underdog then. Super cheap and super fast, was ahead of cars in it's class and out classing cars on the track it shouldn't have

@@R3AL-AIM If you couldn’t tell I was talking about living in the moment, I know it’s not that impressive anymore

"It's quicker than a Zonda!" Tom, when I heard Jeremy say that, I knew he was impressed, maybe even a little shocked; the crowd was when he told the lap time. The Stig had a chance to drive the fastest cars in the world. If he had NOT spun the tires for so long in the beginning of the time trial (which Jeremy briefly mentions), he MAY have gone almost a whole second faster over all. I thought in the past, when I saw this episode, they told him to do that on purpose so the car would post a slower time. If you watch the Stig in this portion, he hardly ever spins the tires for THAT LONG! It would have surpassed almost all the cars on the list. It also would be the only factory car under $100k to do it.

They don't like American cars. They also never gave the genV Viper ACR and honest try...because they knew it would destroy all the metro sexual machines they love.

​@@cromBumny Richard does, but mainly muscle or anything with a high displacement V8 like the Demon

Yes! Even the 1984 Corvette beat the others in a sloam course when tested. I have a 1984 and studied what It did when they tested it to the other competition.

If you've never heard an F1 V12 or a V12 from an Aston DBR9, or Pagani Zonda or Ferrari 812, please listen to a V12 and tell me it is a work of art. V8's give you power, but V12's have an amazing feeling to them. I'm not dissing V8's in any way shape or form.

Well, it’s smoother, sounds better, and Ferrari and Aston V12 produce more power for their displacement

@@annonymously331 v12s are more luxurious for sure, and have their place, but bare in mind although the LS engine has more displacement it is MUCH lighter and physically smaller than your typical v12 (and even many DOHC v8s with less than two thirds of the displacement) The LS will get better fuel economy when crusing in 6th too :)

@@PG-20 The cure for any weak LS sound is proper exhaust tuning. Have you ever heard what those GT2 and GT1 cars used to sound like? They were MONSTROUS.

so you state that a 7 liter engine has good mpgs?

@@leemacc9043if i remember right it gets around 30 mpg highway and around 20 city or something. Its not a Prius no but it gets better mpg than a lot of way slower cars with smaller engines.

@@leemacc9043 Because of American gas prices which averaged 2.5$ per gallon until 2 years ago the 7 liter was not a problem. Plus it cost 60k usd and had 5 year 60k miles (100k kms) warranty from the factory by GM. Unbeatable deal

The performance competes. Not the interior design/quality, refinement, transmission does feel kinda tractory, clutch is kinda vague, but I still love this LS7 beast

@@nick-zc9xv 3LT improves the "appearance" of the interior but not the actual OVERALL fit/finish, button/control feel, material textures, etc. There is a reason why a Corvette is tens of thousands cheaper than equivalent Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Audi, etc.

@@sasazapadnik9335 It's still not in quite the same league, but Chevy really upped their game with the C7 interior. There are a couple minor issues, but everything is what it looks like now instead of being plastic that looks like other materials. If it looks like leather, aluminum, glass, or plastic, that's what it is, and the plastic isn't everywhere anymore.

@@Mr_Roboto I agree it came a long way, and it's impossible for them to be on-par with the "Europeans" while being so affordable, otherwise Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R sales would plummet. C6 Z06 is one of my favorite cars, and I'm a die-hard Euro fanboi

@@sasazapadnik9335 Wow, that's the worst reasoning ever. The Corvette Z06 CAN'T be on par with europeans while being affordable because it would cause the european sales to plummet?

No one has ever said the Corvette is unreliable, unless they have no idea what they are talking about. The Corvette is one of the most reliable cars in the world, and the C5 Corvette was known for nearing a million miles of usage.

The problem is that the history of the Corvette is it being an unrefined sportscar- it's a dog and always has been. The C8 is bringing it into new territory, however it is absolutely rife with QC issues across the board that will take years for GM to iron out (engine, trans, brakes, interior quality, electrical, list goes on). People love to advertise it as a $62k car but the basic features you should be getting with that car put it at $72-75k bare minimum... the $62k model is stripped down so badly that you shouldn't even be considering to buy one if that's your budget ceiling. GM is the bar none the WORST manufacturer in the US for service... so good luck with that if you're not patient. If I want a pure sportscar I'd be taking a Porsche over a Corvette any day of the week.

well, nobody takes clarkson seriously (or any british car show for that matter) , it is basically just an entertainment show involving cars and the passion for it, all seen through the small lenses of british humor (can you say inferiority complex-driven?) ;) his job basically is to make fun of everything and find ways to throw some dirt at cars in a "brit-wit-manner", especially if it's American cars. i usually just look at the cars, and mute the show. greets from germany.

True, Top Gear is more of a comedy show, ANd much less a car show, Id rather they do the Specials like Bolivia and Afica, And just forget about the actual reviews, JC revies specially with his false and stupid information.

Dre Ray he hates American stuff

He should probably make his own right hand drive tooling for the Corvette, and put it in the plant.

classic corvette fan getting offended

Yep, that's definitely one of our cars

Dude, we got it right with the GT-40. Z06 is just another trophy in American cars' case.

TheTigerShark21 - implying the GT-40 was American, lol

TheFlyingPineapple You're right. the original was actually conceived by Erica Broadley of Lola cars. But they never actually built any that were worth owning at the time because he didn't have the money to go through with the project. Ford (an AMERICAN car company) bought out the design and hired people to finish and perfect it. Then installed a better engine and supplied all the money to have them built. Lola's version was just a concept. Ford is the one that actually built, and produced them for racing. The gt-40 is a collaboration car. All Lola supplied them with was a chassis. The rest of the car is American. So "lol" to you for implying otherwise. It was a 50/50 two part effort from both the UK and America. Both should be proud the car did so astonishingly well in its career. Some of the greatest cars ever built were a result of American power trains in British chassis's. (my favorite being the Shelby Cobra 427) I would personally like to see the bullshit rivalry stop so we could see what's next.

Forgive me for sounding ignorant, but all I know is that there is a Ford sticker on it which, to me makes it an American. But thanx for the extra info.

TheTigerShark21 It wasn't directed to you, it was to captain smart ass up there.

Guess what? Europe had to deal with shit too. High insurance and fuel prices in UK naturally affect their car market. Yugoslavia's car factories were bombed. Italy taxes engines over 2.0L (they even made 2.0 V8 Ferraris). Norway has high vehicle taxes. America enjoys low taxes, cheap fuel and industrial stability.

Did you wave at me? I was driving mine this summer :⁠-⁠) Cheers my fellow Canuck, these cars still rock!!!!

+Seracen you are saying aluminium wromg. It sounds like you aren't properly educated.

Randal Graves yes but this show is based on performance cars.... sooo your comment is invalid

But the z06 is a performance sport car...

The only thing that matters is if it can run Crysis.

How will they respond to the C8 😂

What explosions? Not all fires are caused by explosions.

Ah back when the c7 was new

I'm a us citizen and an avid Top Gear viewer , They do poke fun of the USA but they also poke fun of every nation including Britain. I enjoy this show very much and I like how they really do give unbiased opinions on cars. Don't let it get you bothered they really do not hate Americans.

It's a lot more loaded when they talk about the US, and the topics of discussion are much more important and controversial. I still like the show, but I wish they would keep their snarky comments towards the cars, where they're actually funny. I will admit that the "fast food icons" line was hilarious, though.

I do see your point, and I too agree the fast food icon bit was very funny! Take care

djdrauss629 I'm pretty sure Jeremy and James don't care for Americans at all. Richard is probably different.

European car industry is actually a bit of a joke really. Most of cars sold are little FWD shitboxes with tiny diesels and even the so called premim brands i.e BMW MB are mainly sold with 2 liter diesels or some other funny petrol engines. Imagine MB in US trying to sell new C class with 1.6 120hp (or so) petrol engine NO STANDARD EQUIPMENT and really nasty interior for 40 000$ - which isn't a lot actually, if you try a bit you can buy new VW Golf for that kind of money lol. 80 000 in Europe buys Audi A5 2.0/3.0 diesel BMW M235I 428i Alfa Romeo 1.8T all nice cars but in terms of speed not even comparable with vette.

But you see here's your problem, the Corvette being from America is the reason it's cheap, reliable, fast, and the steering wheel is on the correct side.

@@Northanteus majority of people who watched top gear were not that much into cars actually, they uses this to make the lap look cool

Absolutely not. Any experienced sportscar driver would buy a GT4 or even a base 911 over a z06. It's a sin to even think of comparing the two... and stomping the accelerator in a straight line is a mere tiny facet of driving a sportscar (yet encompasses the majority of Joe Shmoe's driving experience).

Yeah, but the Ariel Atom is much faster round a track than the Vette, and it's cheaper too, so you can actually afford an Ariel for the track and a Lexus or something for everyday driving.

Frikgeek I don't know the situation in Europe but in north America a stingray (a vast improvement over the z06) is $5000 less then an Atom.

nota mack You're comparing the C7 stingray with the C6 Z06. Also, it's not a "vast improvement". It has less horsepower and much less torque. But it really is stupid to compare the base C7 to a high end C6, we'll just have to wait for the C7 Z06 and ZR1. Btw you don't even need the 500 HP top of the line Atom to beat the stingray, a midrange model will do.

You're missing the point, the latest corvette, an overall better car, is cheaper then an atom in the USA. I'm not going to discuss performance and such, just a matter of prices

I have seen two or three other reviews saying the suspension was too soft in these cars and to put stiffer suspension on them to corner flatter. Think Jeremy is full of it.

+Auras Secuianu Thank you! You are the only European I have ever seem point that out.

No European would ever make this statement either your a liar or a traitor. don't know which one is worse

ikybaiiki no sane human would call a someone a traitor just because they give credit where credit is due. As a Finn, name one non American car that's faster around a track than a Ferrari 430 for 60000£. Go on, I'll wait... Nationalism is as irrational and cancerous as the social justice movement.

Porsches are the same as corvettes tho

Love your RU-vid name. lol

+bra Only because those stereotypes they make up get spread by Europeans much faster and are on every video about American cars.

That's because he actually has a default reaction to any car produced by Americans. He considers them all shit until proven otherwise, even if he has never seen them. He does not do that towards the cars of any other nation to my knowledge. And even when they make a good car, he lies about something (in this case the ride quality) to skew the review into a more negative light. Also seems to be much more "lead footed" in American cars.

Birki gts dude that's cause american cars are trash.

Then why are American cars a common sight in the top of nurburgring times? For example, the Dodge viper ACR '17 (160000$) is only 1.6 seconds slower around it than an Aventador LP-750 (435000$).
