Chevrolet Corvette C6 6.0 acceleration

[arbrnirish]

Gay

[snowmangsx1100]

Im a chevy man all the way and this does seem fast but I just watched several different races of a Z6 vette and every damn thing he raced outrun him,,I dont get it man,,,even a little shity looking car of some kind outrun him through a quater mile,,maybe there not as fast as thye seem.

[1994FleetwoodCaddy]

What some people fail to realize is that every car has a "optimal shit point". This shift point is the spot where the engine puts out peak power, EX. This corvette may a shift point between 4700 and 5500. It is best to learn where this spot is on your car or racer as it will not only maximize speed, but it will make your car or racer sound quite nice.

[neilbradley]

Shifted way too early.

[RikJag]

@neilbradley Automatic gearbox ;-)

[luvscience44]

Your car must have came with tampons and mydol. still very nice and better than the shoe leather express

[demariojason]

Man you just got right into without any hesitation!! lol!! Quick car love the vettes!!

[IMPORTSSUCKBITCH]

a video of shit flushing would have been more exciting than this worthless video

[bighungary29]

why don't you just rename the vid..driving around in my 6.0 C6 Vette??

[RikJag]

@bighungary29 Simply because that is noy my Vette. I was testing cars as opinion driver

[chrisgzr1]

aint the ls2 a 6.2 liter

[BigRogers7870]

@chrisgzr1 no the 6.2 is the ls3

[tkdman360]

Even tho Manual may get better mileage in some situations, many people by them to be "cool." But in reality except in the U.S., any granny knows how to drive manual so its stupid to buy it if you just wanna look cool.

[Marc99GT]

Actually the C5 ZO6 has a 5.7L V8. The 2005-07 have the LS2 or 6.0 liter and the 2008+ have the LS3 or 6.2L .

[desimunda116]

this won't beat my civic, oh wait was that you that just went flying by me??

[RikJag]

@desimunda116 LOL. I assume you were the one on the Concord then!!!

[imserious2187]

man wtf, make a real vide of this beast plz

[mawk27]

How the hell did this get 215,000 views?

[RikJag]

@mawk27 What's the matter? Just do a better one and you will get more views. BTW thanks for the interesting comment

[mawk27]

@RikJag

No, seriously, how did you get that many views? Is there a secret to it? Got asked to get paid for one of my videos by linking an account or something.

[RikJag]

@mawk27 no secret and I do not do anything special. I am just posting the video I have

[urlame101]

@mawk27 The views don't matter. This video has more dislikes than likes..

[RikJag]

@urlame101 To be honest I am not in a competition with anybody and nobody is obliged to look at it!!! Also the number of likes and dislikes is very low anyway, who really cares!!

[urlame101]

@RikJag True. I like the video though. The corvette is my dream car.

[PA28140]

Because like me, 215,000 people were left wanting more...

[RikJag]

@PA28140 Upload something more as I also want more!!!!

[y4utalktome]

Nothing wrong with an auto people, with a tiny bit of work they will kill a stick hands down every time.

[Sparksterfu]

Lets face it less and less people know how to drive stick shift these days, especially if you live in a city, where it sucks to drive stick. Thankfully I learned early.

[Marc99GT]

The 6.0 liter LS2 was in the C6 from 2005-2007. In 2008+ the C6 went to the 6.2 liter LS3 engine. The 2005 C6 had the 4L65 4 speed auto and the 2006+ have the 6L80 6 speed auto which is proving to be quite reliable even when supercharged. Remember these are all electronically controlled transmissions. Go for a ride in one that was tuned and the shift points are higher and super quick tire barking shifts.

[RikJag]

@kowclubproductions It was the 6 liter!!!

[kowclubproductions]

@RikJag Oops my mistake I just looked it up. I didn't know they had a 6 liter vette other than the c5 zo6. The new ones are a 6.2 that's what threw me off.

[w00t692]

@RikJag

the new one is a 6.2l...

[camaroz28B4C]

@RikJag try 6.2L

[Jorge50505]

@kowclubproductions its called the ls2 engine!

[BubbaTheSharkFisher1]

@kowclubproductions the 6.0 is a ls2

[JDMGTP]

@kowclubproductions ........well, your pretty wrong, it's called an ls2. 05-07 corvettes had em.

[mtwigs9]

@kowclubproductions 2005-2007 big guy

[miamizep]

@kowclubproductions There was definitely a 6.0 liter vette, they 2005-2007 vette was the LS2, which was 6.0 liters. The 2008-present C6s have a 6.2 liter LS3, which is not all that different that the LS2, just with a lil more power.

[TheZ06Drifter]

@kowclubproductions 2004-2006 was LS2 which is 6.0L , after  that its a LS3 6.2L

[luvscience44]

@TheZ06Drifter no sir first year ls3 was 08 dude

[Razor4ever]

The only downside of the auto is that You can't do drifts. If it goes for performance/fuel economy/comfort the auto beats the manual hands down. Im 23 and I drive daily in one of the biggest european capitol. Trust me auto is a saviour. If I ever buy a vette it will be an auto. But If I'll want fun I'll just pick up a z06 or an M6 smg.

[kushnugz]

let people talk shit about it being automatic its still faster than what they drive.

[03056932]

@kushnugz no.

[kushnugz]

@03056932 oh, ok.

[djwilliamt]

You buy an automatic because you want it as an everyday drive or have paddle shifts. I would not prefer an manual only because I have gotten tired of shifting an mustang gt standard EVERY day. The best combo is an a6 with paddle shifts

[IxOVERKILLxI]

lol automatic corvette,

[sideburns2009]

Too bad people still have the thought stuck in their head that most all automatics are worse in performance and efficiency than manuals, when in reality, MOST all automatics today are far more efficient in terms of shift quality, performance, and overall efficiency than their predecessors and many manual transmission built today. Especially with dual clutch automatics making their appearance.

[tommieboi707]

@sideburns2009 very true....dual clutch autos are the future

[rats373]

automatic...SWEEEEETT(:

[Marc99GT]

Stock vs stock, your WS6 would get the shit kicked out of it especially against a 2008+ LS3 C6 auto. They only run low 12s @ 117+ mph all day. Quite a few videos on youtube to back up my statement.

[Marc99GT]

@LastTransAm2002 I agree 100%. I have had these manual vs automatic arguments for years and have beaten every manual driver I ever came across in either my 87 Grand National or y turbocharged 99 GT. These days a manual makes a difference on a road course and that is about it. The new semi-automatics shift faster than any human ever will and showing up in all supercars.

[JobeMinacum]

WHO THE FUCK BUYS AN AUTO CORVETTE? my ws6 would kill that...

[gunzkevin]

Do you regret getting your corvette beacause you bought it before the 6.2 ls3 was put into the base corvette?

[Runkleforskin]

auto vs. manual.. its like fighting with guns involved.. Anyone of any age can pick up a gun and pull the trigger.. anyone can punch the gas and hold the steering wheel.. on the other hand, when you use your fists fighting, its whoever knows what they are doing, and how good they are.. same applies to manual transmissions. Plain and simple.

[Runkleforskin]

@Runkleforskin so in short, its more of a sport when you have manual transmission racing. There is alot more you have to do and be swift about rather than 2 people just punching the gas and using the left foot to push on hte floorboard for an extra 3hp :b

[sleeper393]

FG XR8 0-100 Daytime. look this up aussie vehicle

[devoto523]

пидорги!

[marcomariaz26]

Best to buy the biggest engine you can afford and put some forced induction on it. Someone on YouTube claims he has a C6 ZO6 (7.0L, 427, 505hp), and has added a Procharger. He claims to be running 10 flat in the 1/4mi, and I'd be inclined to believe that, and it's quite a bit faster than the ZR1, with it's smaller 6.2L supercharged engine, and it cost less, even after the modifications.

[lawnkit22]

Screw auto =D Automatic transmission obliterates that point of the super car =( Learn how to drive stick or sell that car, because you are not worthy.

[swss12]

well put.

[tksemipro]

LOL, are you saying that corvette's are super cars?

[lawnkit22]

It is dependent on the model and year. so for a Zr1, yes. yes I am.

[DcEvoIX]

corvettes are supercars camaro's and mustangs are muscle cars don't get them confused lol

[tksemipro]

@DcEvoIX The only corvette that would even come close to being called a supercar is the ZR1.

[DcEvoIX]

the corvette was always considered a supercar think about it lambo's and ferrari's cost $100k+ more than a vette and yet they either can't beat it or can barely beat it I will take the vette for $70k and whoop everything, they can run high 10's with a really good driver

[tksemipro]

@DcEvoIX Yes, they perform as well as 100K+ cars. But come on man a supercar? When I think of supercar's I think of Ferrari's, Lambos, ect...

[DcEvoIX]

I do too but to me it's is an affordable supercar cuz the zr1 stomps on almost everything except for the enzo so you gotta have that midway daily driver and that's the z06 imo but if you look up the class of it, it is in the same class as lambo's and all

[acdcgreat]

@DcEvoIX I totally gotta agree with you man, and very well put I might add. Corvettes fit all the criteria of a supercar.

-V8 engine(or better)

-2 doors

-Coupe/Convertible body style

-And let's not forget--supercar performance.

[DcEvoIX]

@acdcgreat Thanks I just love cars and the c6 z06 is on a whole nother level compared to previous models they really refined it

[acdcgreat]

@DcEvoIX I can't agree more, they really did a good one on the new vettes.

[silveradols9]

they are a supercar dude. just like ford gt is a supercar, not the mustang gt, the ford gt.

[severo2012]

and tksemipro your wrong...the Zr1 is indeed faster then the Z06...but not by much...it is a 120hp difference...but the top speed ain't too much of a diference and it only does 0-60 .3 seconds faster...z06 runs at 3.6 and zr1 runs at 3.3...i'd defenetly consider both exotics or as the kids call em "super cars"

[plane45036]

How do you figure the camaro and corvettes have same motor>?

[appleguy916]

@plane45036 well the 4th gen camaros and C5 vettes both used LS1 motors

[severo2012]

DcEvoIX your right...a muscle car consists of 2 doors and 4 seats. But like they said since 69 with the first camaro...a camaro is a poor mans corvette =)

[DcEvoIX]

@severo2012 yea the camaro is like a poor mans vette I never thought of it like that before and the zr1 is all about top end and race track use better suspension bigger tires better aerodynamics but in a 1/4 mile suprisingly not any faster the zr1 and z06 are both running high 10's with a highly experienced driver I can't figure that 1 out the zr1 must be hard to launch right or something and just to correct it's a 133 hp difference but you were deffinateley in the ball park

[kcole939]

Severo2012, what the hell are you talking about? First of all, Camaros were introduced as a 1967 model year, NOT 1969. Second, it was introduced as a competitor to the original "Pony Car". The Mustang..

I'm a Chevy guy, but the bottom line is simple. With no Mustang, there would be NO Camaro. The Camaro is just a competitor, based on the idea of the Mustang, in order to get sales going after that horrid Corvair went down the tubes.

It was never meant to be a budget 'Vette. Study up.

[DystruktoBoi1]

@kcole939 Actually I thought it was more like Chevy made the Corvette so Ford made the Mustang, and then Chevy decided to make the Corvette more then a pony car and released the Camaro to stay in competition with the Mustang, and then much later Ford released the GT40 to Compete with the Corvette. Idk could be wrong but the Vette was out in '62 before both Camaros and Mustangs were, so thats how I always thought it went.

[kcole939]

@DystruktoBoi1 Chevy made the Corvette to compete with Nash Motor's Nash-Healey in the early 1950's. Ford did not make the Mustang to compete with anything, just to be a new car. Then, since the Corvair wasn't getting sales, Chevy unveiled the Camaro, which was meant to be faster, better looking, and priced similarly to the Mustang, to compete with it.

I love all of them though. I own an old '86 Z28, and I'm currently saving for an '01-'04 Rustang GT. I mean, Mustang.

[kcole939]

@DystruktoBoi1 Wait, I didn't fully answer your question. No, the Corvette was never meant to be a pony car. The Corvette originally had an inline 6, and was an extremely light roadster, with an all fiberglass body.

The Corvette was basically an American version of the typical MG, Austin Healey, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, and so on. An American-British sports car, if you will.

[DystruktoBoi1]

@kcole939 Interesting, you definitely know your cars. I think its funny that since they first came out the Camaro has always been SLIGHTLY better the Mustangs, lol, it must piss Ford off. My dream car is a 1990 (cuz thats my birth year) Iroc-Z28 with the 5.7L Corvette engine :) funny how the Corvette went from Roadster to supercar, and Chevy doesn't even make a cool Roadster anymore,the closest they've come since then is the 2 door convertible Cavalier Z24s.

[junktoyota]

sick automatic, that guy can't even drive a stick i bet you

[kingssuck06]

Pedals on the right buddy

[shjesus]

ls2 is a 6.0 not a 6.2

[mcneill467]

exactly, where ppl get these random motor sizes.

[AdamsJoshua85]

ls2 6.2

[CORVETTE4LIFEPLAYA]

I have the auto in my c6, and I love it.

[Marc99GT]

I have done a lot of research on the A6(6L80) and it is an awesome transmission. Just by its sheer clutch to clutch operation makes it able to take alot of abuse. I can't wait to get an 06-07 Vette with the A6. I have seen a few supercharged C6 A6s trapping almost 130 mph on the stock transmission.

[C06coolvette]

With newer Corvettes, the autos are just as fast as manual transmissions..But when it came down for me to choose, I went went the stick shift on my C6. With a stick shift, I'm in total control of the car.

(btw the Vette in the video was a 2005)

[ilivedowntheroad]

Good luck finding used manual corvettes, most are automatic.

[bortous]

a manual with a clutch. depends on the car. i did 5 drags. I was at least 5 car lengths in front by the end of it.

pretty cool

[bortous]

hi guys. the auto's are definately quicker in a drag especially in powerful cars.

I am in Australia and I have a HSV and that has the LS2 engine and mines auto and the standard ratio is 3:46. I have done very minor work to it such as a tune and exhaust. and now have the same power output as a standard LS7 engine.

I dragged a car identical to mine with similar power and I won every time. I get more ahead with every gear change as mine shift at 0.3 sec. There is no way you can do that with

[JJ388JAr]

plus no matter how good at shifting someone is, that person still can't be as consistent as a proper running automatic transmission kids

[killua21550]

Auto transmissions are slow as shit

[bortous]

depends on which car. The faster the car is the better the auto works. Why do you think drag cars are auto??

[killua21550]

Well, all of drag cars here aren't

But on second thought, maybe you're right. Just that, i dont think auto gear ratios are that fast

[ATeamOps0391]

Because auto is more reliable in drag racing... I can't think of much use for auto besides the convenience and drag racing tournaments. I'd take a manual any day for less drive train loss, gas mileage, and fun.

[Camaros5678]

??? manual is actually 1mpg better than automatic's. and drive train loss??? The manual get more power. Automatic's are only good for people who cant drive for shit so they get automatic...

[ATeamOps0391]

That's exactly what I just said...

[Camaros5678]

oh i thought you mean less gas mileage and less fun

[ATeamOps0391]

Yeah I probably should have phrased that differently haha.

[theoriginalca7erham]

Seconded, plus in a good number of situations a manual is actually easier to drive just because of the increased control.

[huntergluck]

@ATeamOps0391 yeah I don't think people realize that. I drag race an auto mustang (shift kit and high stall) and always get within .1 seconds of my time. If I race my Z06 I will never get the same time over and over again. I rarely see manual drivers get the same time every time.

[WUZIGULUHU]

@ATeamOps0391 what if u got beer in the other hand

[shukiikuhs]

There is absolutely no way that you did a tune and exhaust and got a 400 horsepower engine to output 505 horsepower. B.S.

[MrSelfDestruct67]

autos are probably a little better for higher end speeds.

stall converters and gear drives pretty much make an auto a good choice, especially on muscle cars.

[timmunn1]

what do u mean better for high speeds most cars have a better top speed when manuals then automatics.. there less restricted

[praetorian2150]

im a manual guy but after 3 hours in stop and go traffic ur willing to kill an infant for an auto

[cooleb]

km/h?

[MJND1990]

LOL @ all the people saying automatics are for women. Most drag cars have automatic transmissions.

Automatic vs. Manual is really just a preference. A auto with a high stall will rape most manuals.

[jfrye20082008]

You re right! In the (modified+ stall converter) Corvette world, Automatic transmissions are quicker. This coming from someone with a 6-speed in my Vette.....lol. If a car doesn t have alot of power, a manual makes IT faster by getting it into the powerband quicker.

[pyro4real]

yes very true. but i have to say i prefer manuals because i can be more in tune with the car

[2jzgtejza80]

Getrag manuals can transmit 2500Nm and 2000Hp. Automatic can the same numbers but for drag is better semi-automatic.

[timmunn1]

the point is do be feeling the car and haveing that much control of when the gears change... its all part of the driving experience..

[O8SERVER]

Ah man, an automatic corvette is like...is like... blasphemous.

[jonvvp]

crappymatic!

[poodenutt]

LOL My wife drives an auto.

[snk4eva]

i think an automatic in any sports car is just a waste a manual your more in touch with the car. a 3 year old can mash a pedal to the ground

[Banj95]

Fast for an automatic, but I prefer manual.

[2jzgtejza80]

Automatic is not just good. Semi-automatic(you still shifting) is better if you ask me. But i prefer manuals everyday.

[Banj95]

Seni-auto? Still an auto. Manuals are far better.

[Hotrodx199]

Automatics with manual valve bodys so it's a paddle shifter. Shift kit for all 5 gears.

[RsGhost1]

My dream car :D

[lawnkit22]

(quote: "i love automatics... smooth in the traffic strong in acceleration if you need it")

come on are you mad? if anything automatics are horrible and restrain you from being "in touch with the car". it is so hard to find a gosh darn, good old fashioned manual.

[ChikenTako]

lol hes on crack! automatics suck! xD

[stealthcorvette]

automatic? i hate automatic

[RikJag]

Yes automatic

[mosquiton001]

i love automatics... smooth in the traffic strong in acceleration if you need it..

[coolgames14]

auto = change gear too early

[Shintsu2]

Cars aren't toys....

[isntthisacrapysn]

good car

wouldn't say the best bang for your buck though

[aaronchungrulez]

lancer evo is best bang for buck, corvette z06 and nissan GTR are best value to performance ratio

[orbitofdoom16]

what can you buy that will last as long, go as fast, or be as comfortable as this car without spending alot of money on maintenence

[isntthisacrapysn]

You're right about that one though, people buy it because it's a Vette + no maintenance...

As for me though I wouldn't mind buying an LS7 crate and installing it in a chassis. For me maintenance is no problem.

[orbitofdoom16]

we are buying a 67 with the 396, The ls7s arnt bad on maintenece either, and maintenence is no problem for me either!

[transam0709]

Jealous.....solid lifter L78?

[orbitofdoom16]

Maby...;)

[crazyevansboys214]

punch it dude lol

[chev78406]

he's scared of it

[ls1ws6trans]

Uh a corvette does go faster than that y would u get a car your scared of? and you call dat a run shit let me borrow dat hoe and ill show u wut its got

[RikJag]

It is very difficult to understand what you say. You are certainly driving much better than me but I can still write better than you ;-)

Now I am waiting for your video, show me what you can do!!

[stanbernadino]

Damn that 6L sounds good, I hope to own a Corvette someday when and if gas prices come down.

[Malcome14]

funny thing is these vettes get better fuel mileage than most family sedans at 23MPG...

weighing 3000 pounds will do that for you

[jtdrye]

Exactly

[dhucaluk1]

wow i wish i was fortunate enough to own one of these. i always wondered though... wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the 6.0L and make it faster than the z06? (as if more speed is needed :S plus that removable hard top is like sex on wheels.

[darren15509]

i wouldnt bother. the z06 has the almighty 427

[gabinogon]

505 HP

[chris38355]

i think it would be cheaper to buy the c6 cause they retail for around 45 and the z06 like 73 so say about 5000 for a supercharger puts you at a little over 50 so i would plus it would be fun runnin z06's when they roll up next to u thinkin theyre better

[dhucaluk1]

yea that was my reasoning exactly. cool

[MetalHeadXi158]

If you buy a pre 08 model you can get a head and cam package for less than 2,000 that will get you above 500 HP. Or you can get an STS turbo and get 700 RWHP cheap. or get an intake with exhaust work and still get into the 3 second 0-60 times and top speed of 190.

[jtdrye]

Exactly Chris..

That is what I am going to do.

I am going to buy an '05 C6 for pretty cheap, and just mod it up from there. A 2006 Z06 is too expensive. But, it does have a 7.0 L 427 that I like, whereas the C6 has a 6.0 366 small block..

[03basesedan]

a z06 both out handles and out accelerates the m5. im sorry to the retard that thinks otherwise.

[Ycondaman]

*lol*

God bless the ignorant

[03basesedan]

it;s the truth, take a look at the statistics

[darren15509]

the m5 is a luxury sedan...

[bulegold56]

M5 would smoke this!

[SinisterC6]

i cant wait to run into one of those heffers, i put bus lengths on your precious M3s now lets add 2 more doors and see what happeneds

[nickdawg13]

and maybe 2 more cylinders two seeing as we're talking bout the m5

[ls1maro99]

and a z06 would smoke your m5! want to keep going? who gives a fuck!

[bulegold56]

Ya I said c6 not zo6 learn how to read. Plus a m5 would kill the zo6 on a track, just not in a dragrace. FACT

[ls1maro99]

lmao dude your a retard i know you said c6 i was just giving you an example of another car that can whoop on the car you brought up! and that big ass fuckin boat isnt going to beat a c6 z06 drag or track sorry buddy... the 08 m5 is rated at a whole second slower 0-60 than a c6 z06 and i know damn well a m5 isnt know where near 3100lbs, its a family sedan for fuck sack! haha its only 4/10th's of a second faster than my car stock! 0-60...

[bulegold56]

so your saying the c6 does 0-60 in 3 seconds.  I don't think so

[ls1maro99]

a c6 z06 is rated 0-60 in 3.5 seconds an 08 m5 is rated at 4.5 seconds so yea that would be a whole second slower...

[nickdawg13]

road and track got it to 60 in 4.1. plus lets not factor in handling

[ls1maro99]

its a fuckin luxary sedan! why are you comparing it to a vette! there is no comparison! compare it to a cts-v, or a mecedes or something! it would make a little bit more sence!

[SinisterC6]

that made my day, thanks for the laugh

[wellshii]

hey man no problem.

[wellshii]

your stupid and dont know jack and just like to talk shit cuz thats all u can do.FACT

[nickdawg13]

yeah it would, but lets not compare apples to oranges

[asrlb45]

Autos are for the midlife crisis guys who can finally afford a new vette but don't want to really drive it. The image cures their Erectile Dysfunction haha! Nice car though way to buy american!

[mmtcnr]

hehee

[c64life]

0-60 stock is 4.1 to 4.0 depends on the driver.

[piroman00]

that looks like it was an automatic. was it? it shifted at a pretty low rpm...

[RikJag]

It was automatic!!!
