That was a KICK-AZS video! Especially since I'm familiar with that track! It's an easy track to learn, but hard to get perfect! Turn 8 always tests my nerve! (I go in at 135, but go out much slower! )

It reminds me of when the Blue Angels take reporters or civilians up for demonstration flights and they are having calm conversations while tossing the jet around and the person in the backseat is either passed out from Gs or puking. lol Training... training.. training... and then working out.. working out... working out.

@IndependenceCityMotoring Год назад

FYI, the Z06 has been top tier in performance since the C5 Z06. All the lightweighting, suspension/chassis, gearing, and power effort on the C5 Z06 Corvette was worth it in the end as it had one of the fastest Nürburgring times and lap times of any production car at the time. "When the C5 Corvette Z06 clocked its 7:56 Ring time (remember this was 20+ years ago), it was a pretty big deal. GM claimed it was the first true stock/production car to break past the eight-minute mark." They even went so far as to put titanium exhaust on the car from the factory; the first true production car to do so, thinned the window glass, removed sound deadening, lighter weight Speedline wheels from Italy, stiffer and lighter body compared to the base C5 hatchback, stiffer suspension, etc. etc. Oh, and this was also during the era of the C5-R dominating GT racing, including multiple 24 Hours of Le Mans wins.

@duncanbleak3819 Год назад

Well noted sir. Racing Vettes so dominated its' class in GT racing that they eliminated the class! Also, checking "Vette" hot lap times at Laguna Seca in the hands of Randy Pobst, over the years, shows that euro "supercars" had nothing on the previous front-engined Vettes!

@elijahprasad7884 Год назад

I've been really thinking about getting a C5 Z06. I got a little kid's electric motorized Corvette C5-R for my 6th birthday in 2005, so getting a C5 Z06 would be getting my childhood racecar back. It's extremely great to know it's the 1st production car to go sub-8 minutes at Nurburgring. If I get it back, it'll be like having a street-legal C5-R with all that racing history and of course the high performance.

@craigthescott5074 Год назад

I daily drive a C5 Z06 and it’s probably the most performance for the money right now in the world. $20K to $25K will get you one.

Many journalists have reviewed the C8 Z06 but none have captured the excitement, the exhilaration, and the sheer joy of this magnificent car the way Rory and Jesse have in this video. Well done ,guys. I’ve got a regular C8 which I absolutely love and I thought the Z06 unnecessary (and bloody hard to get at the moment) but after this video, I may need to rethink that position.

I think I want the ZER package to get the Pilot Sport 4 S ZP tires, and CF wheels to compensate for battery weight. Finally, I was at the annual "Bash" at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green last month, a fun and educational long weekend. All the Corvette brass attend - Tadge, Harlan, Josh, etc..

I LOVED this episode and this collaboration! Again, Rori you are hitting it out of the park. At first, I thought the spec to have was the Z06 Vette with the Z07 high downforce package but this spec looks on point and if this is the spec an actual race car driver has, that says something. Listening to Jessie's commentary during his driving (1) shows you the man knows what he is doing and (2) gives you a glimpse as to what is going on in the head of a pro race car driver. Again, very well done. BTW loved the "Cali" shirt Rori.
