Is the 2019 C7 ZR1 the BEST Corvette ever BUILT? 

I hope you see me raising my hand! 🖐

well yes it has better defined lines. but interior is def superb in C8.

@@klemenkovacic9109 every gen the interior has gotten better for sure.

I do

Everyone agrees id imagine. The C6 looks better imo too

I love this guy 😂

Sooooo very true!

Too

I know right Philip!

And convertible manual

7 speed manual transmission would be funnnnnn

Optional "going out with a BANG" 3 pedal shuffle, I'm sure those with them "get it" and GOT THEM😎

Yeah, and the gearing in the M7 is good and tight once you get rolling! Not the big 4-5 drop like in the A8s.

Unbelievable!

I am right there with you Jay!

I totally agree with you!

thebigcheese3000 it is a beast

The blue flames you mentioned are due to unburned fuel in the exhaust as a result of letting off the throttle while accelerating. This occurs since since the catalytic converter is very hot and as that unburned fuel passes through it, it ignites and results in the blue flames you mentioned. It does look cool though.

@@cassiespencer6134 I don’t want to hear yoooooouuu! Look at the CORVETTTTTTTEEEEE!!!!! (Rage)

@@cassiespencer6134 wow you’re so cool. Do you have time to explain that again? Can we hear it again? Do you have time?

So very true!

Im from europe and driving this in manual would be THE dream. But I'd need like 3-4x the money you guys pay in the US. :(

@@dwade3202 I’ll just move to the US

@@dwade3202 Unfortunately, the 2019 ZR1 was never sold in Europe because the engine is so massive that it bulges out of the hood, and that does not meet European pedestrian safety standards in the event the car hits someone, thus Chevrolet couldn’t sell it there. Although the manual is really cool, driving a 755hp rear-wheel-drive sports car with a manual would feel like a death trap because the car is so fast, you wouldn’t be able to drive it at or near its limit having to continually shift it.

@@BarikSingh The engine itself doesn't protrude through the hood. The carbon fiber engine cover you see which does protrude is just that, a cover for the supercharger. When you remove it (four bolts) you expose the top of the supercharger which is flat and is about three inches below the hood.

You are so very welcome my friend!

Thanks Elliott! We are both two lucky guys!

I am right there with you!

That's why they call them "anchovies" there?

Toby you are on fire with these comments!

LMAO! Now that is funnyt

Thanks for showing Lori some love!

Thank you so much!! 😁

I am so glad that you could take the ride with me!

Thanks Matt! That really means the world!

I hope it was worth the wait!

I hope it was worth the wait!

Oh I believe it!

I know right!

Absolutely beautiful

Thanks Lee that really means a lot!

Thanks Alex that really means so much!

heck yeah brother! Thanks for taking the ride with me!

Thanks brother!

Thanks Bob! You are the best!

I totally agree with you! Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Now we are talking!

Thanks for saying that and letting me share it with you!

Thanks for letting me share it with you Man! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I like the way that you put that Patrick.

I am lucky because I get to share it with you!

You can do it Andrew!

Dream car would like to get the Hennessey performance packeage too

Thanks for the compliments and letting me share this beast with you!

Y’all both got vehicles that are going up in price!

Rubbish

Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership experience!

I agree with you Omar!

oh no doubt....you can keep the c8...not in the least interested..

Just wait for the C8 ZR1

Agreed way better looking car.

Well, they got so far with the c7, that they gotta take a step back to launch forward. I can tell that the c8 is gonna go far beyond what the c7 is capable of

Especially black for sure!

Sir yes sir!

Marginally?, the c8 is not even close, the c8 is just quicker to 60mph, after that the c6zr1,c7zr1 and even a zl1 will leave a c8 behind.

I am so glad that you like this one.

Go back and have dinner since you are eating your dessert first!

@@RaitisRides Ha! LOL

That is a very special car as well.

You must be a fan of the C6 design because this ZR1 is better than it's predecessor in every way imaginable.

@@cali2468 not in weight, c7zr1 3700lbs, c6zr1 3300lbs.

@@hpickettz34 C7zr1 is ~3600lbs. 1ZR trim with no options comes in at under 3600lbs.

Thanks for letting me share it with you!

You are so very right!

A minor correction if I may. The "spoilers" you speak of on the C7 ZR1 are in fact wings, not spoilers. The difference being a spoiler is an aerodynamic device designed to reduce drag which in turn helps improve fuel economy. Not that anyone buys a Corvette in order to save fuel costs. But they do and thus they help improve the manufacturers corporate average fuel economy. That is the average fuel economy, given every vehicle they make, which must meet a minimum average amount. It's federal law. A wing on the other hand is just that. However, instead of producing lift, as does the wing on aircraft for example, they simply flip them upside down so they produce downforce instead. You can tell they're in fact wings if you place the palm of your hand underneath one and feel the curvature of it from front to back. The wing is thicker in the front (leading edge) and tapers to as you move your hand toward the back (trailing edge). If you don't already know, a wing works because the air flowing over the curved surface must travel faster than the air flowing over the flatter surface so all of the air (top and bottom) arrives at the same point at the same time. And since Bernoulli's principle states that air that is traveling faster results in less pressure, whereas air which is traveling slower results in more pressure. And thus lift, or in this case down force, is generated by the wing since a low pressure area exists on top of the wing and therefore atmospheric pressure pushes down on what is at that point an area of lower pressure which results in downforce. And on the ZR1 with the ZTK pkg, which includes the high wing, it produces 950 lbs of down force "at speed". And just what speed is that? Well, GM has never said. However, most assume it must be at top speed, although that's doubtful in my opinion. I say that since not many people are going to take corners at ~212 MPH. That said, the "high wing" which is available for the C8 is in fact neither a wing nor a spoiler. It's in fact a hybrid of both so to speak. Or as GM refers to it, a "high wing spoiler". What the heck is that you ask? Well, it's just that. Both outboard ends of the upper surfaces trailing edge have a section which is angled upward which is readily visible in some photos. And it's those upwardly angled sections which result in downforce since the air passing over them must accelerate while doing so for the same reason I described previously. Hence some amount of downforce is generated. Not nearly much as the wing on the ZR1 generates, but some nonetheless. That "high wing spoiler" also acts as, well, a spoiler. And as mentioned previously it does so by controlling the airflow off the rear of the car in a manner which helps reduce aerodynamic drag, It does so by preventing the air from tumbling downward, like a waterfall. Remember, like water, air is a fluid. Not a liquid, but a fluid. And thus less turbulence equals less drag. And less drag equals greater fuel economy.

You are the man Tony! Thanks for having my back!

Congrats on the C8! A garage with a C8 & and C7 ZR1 would be something else!

@@RaitisRides Guess you and Lori have something to talk about. I mean she clearly needs a ZR1. Its for her. Not for you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Omar.

I see what you did there!

You are so right about that!

A tad! LOL

AGREED!

Thanks Mike!

Dream big!
