  • It's funny how Britian thinks that our cars have horrible quality,when we're the ones that have faster lap times around tracks like the Nurburgring, Laguna Seca etc. all for a cheaper price. WE STARTED THE MOTORING INDUSTRY. BRITAIN. IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO SHUT THE HELL UP. I mean like,seriously,the cars we make like:mustangs,corvettes,vipers­, thier not built to conquer big v12 supercars with 500+hp, but some how, they do. Look at the Scc Ultamite aero, it's the 2nd fastest car in the world! U.S.A

  • @hahaha13822 I think it's funny how Top Gear constantly makes it seem like all we have is oval tracks. When in fact some of the greatest road courses in the world are in the US (Laguna seca, Road America, Indianapolis motor speedway, etc.)

  • @hahaha13822 "Who invented the first car? If we're talking about the first modern automobile, then it's Karl Benz in 1886."

    Sorry dude, but the Americans did not start the motoring industry. Without his invention the Ford Model T would have remained unknown.

  • what people forget about the track time, is that cars performance is different on each track.

  • This car is 100% awesome.

  • put a blower on a 427. make way more than 600 hp. 700 or 800 hp. then take it out on track.

  • america baby. america. that is how its done. its called horsepower

  • knee weakening sounds

  • 427 baby 

  • People bash the Vette for any number of diff reasons but it's hard to argue with the numbers they put down for notably less money than most cars in that league. Not to mention the daily driving ability, reasonable maintenance costs & reliability. How often do you see a Ferrari still going strong with 100,000+ miles on it? It wouldn't be my choice if cost was no object but in the real world the Vette is hard to beat.

  • ferrari 458 : 1:36,22

    nissan gtr : 1:36,35

    lexus lfa : 1:36, 39

    porsche gtr3 rs : 1:36,77

    and corvette z06 : 1:34,43 ?!

    no way!!! fake!!

  • @supimusi81

    Bardon?

  • @supimusi81 yea those times are definetly fucked up...i mean u wrote them right...motor trend just is doing something wrong. no way a fuckin z06 beat a gt3....

  • @munkeyman90 face it gt3 sucks

  • @hector19XD i hope thats a joke

  • @supimusi81 Need a tissue?

  • @supimusi81 You forget it's tires on the z06.

  • @supimusi81 the fact that the corvette won le mans should tell u that it is certainly an excellent track car.

  • V10,v12's sound good,but damn! Something about them v8's

  • god it sounds like sex!

  • @MattWaller04 better than sex

  • There's nothing nicer than the sound of a corvette

  • Someone drove past me today in one of these.

    It sounded freakin amazing...

  • GT3 RS 4.0 would easily take this

  • 'Feel like I'm going fast...'

  • THAT NOISE!

  • amazing it didnt break itself to pieces halfway through the track lol

  • Corvette: raping foreign junk since 1953

  • @blazzing4321 not all :)

  • you know what i dont get? a 635 hp shelby gt500 is slower than the corvette with 505 hp.

  • @2012CamaroZL1IsEpic aerodynamics and weight and grip.

  • @2012CamaroZL1IsEpic Uh.. No shit. The ZL1 is also slower than ''the corvette with 505hp''. Also, 2013 GT500 is the one that is expected to have 650hp, not 2012. And it is possibly heard to have a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. 2 seconds faster than the Z06. Not too bad for a heavy car.

  • @xiilazyalex 2 seconds faster than the Z06?? IN WHAT??

  • @Dani01c 2 seconds faster... In 0-60 time. Do you just read what people write and then not bother to think about it?

  • @xiilazyalex oh i thought about it... i just wasn't sure if you were really dumb enough to say that a C6 Z06 does 60mph in 5.5 seconds lol! get your facts straight before talking shit

  • @Dani01c LOL, I went to college, I'm not that dumb. Where did you get 5.5 seconds from? I never said 5.5 seconds... I know for sure that the Z06 does 3.7 seconds. I think YOU need to get the facts..

  • @xiilazyalex lol! that college must have really sucked at teaching then. 3.5 to 3.7 isn't two seconds moron. I think YOU need to get your words straight.

  • @Dani01c ''Oh my gawd, he forgot to add the decimal before the 2! Like omg omg omg! I am going to call him a moron now because I'm a perfect brat that has never made a mistake before.'' Seriously kid, you're a fucking retard if you never made a mistake before. But that's alright since you're oh so perfect, huh? What are you, 15? Prick.

  • @xiilazyalex I didn't know that a period was called decimal too LMAO! Don't get bitter because you made yourself look like a dumb ass LOL!

  • @Dani01c Feeling perfect now, bratty kid?

  • @xiilazyalex Nope. I'm feeling schooled by a mentally challenged kid.

  • @Dani01c Wow, that's pretty harsh... What if you were actually dealing with a ''mentally-challenged kid''? Wouldn't you feel stupid and guilty? This conversation is just getting ignorant and ridiculous. This is my last reply, BYE.

  • @xiilazyalex Actually no. Because I know I'm talking to a mustang fag, I mean mustang fan who is too proud to say, my bad, i sounded like a dumb ass.

  • @xiilazyalex So here I find you on yet another Corvette video complaining at someone else. Was that yur last reply to him also lol Did you set him straight lol.

  • @xiilazyalex OH and Motortrend got 3.5sec with the Z06 and 11.5 at 127.1mph. 

  • @2012CamaroZL1IsEpic: Thats because speed, is about power to weight ratio and not just HP. Aerodynamics and grip also play a key role.

  • Great car!!! Annoying editing. Too many camera angles switching too many times.

    Simple rooftop or grill camera for the road and in-car camera angled at the driver from the back so we can see him shifting and steering would have been enough.

  • Hahaha. This uses the same tires as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Z06 is awesome. These tires are street legal. The tires are not an excuse.

  • @elr456 Street tires or not the Gt3 only has 414 Hp to the Z06s 505Hp. That definately has a lot to do with it.

  • @gmax876 They're still in the same price range. I bet the Z06 still costs less.

  • @elr456 There not the same as Porsche us there exclusive to the Vette! There MPSC ZP tires! Learn please!

  • @sw1000xg They're close to the same tire. The ones on the Porsche aren't runflats, these are. That's about the only difference. They're not exclusive either, you can buy them from tirerack lol

  • This should have the most views out of all the hot lap entries!

  • Ric Flair drives the Z06...........Whoooooo! :)

    Awesome sounding machine though.

  • VIDEO VIEWS SHOULD BE AT 10MIL. RIGHT NOW!

  • The Z06 is like a honey badger. At 0:40 the damn car just sounded like It didn't give a shit.

  • Put that vette on some 30's riding high it would be on point.  Lol

  • @bliglum yea ur right... I jus dnt understand for instance the 2007 gt500 kr super snake had 600 plus horse power to the Corvette zo6 505. Yet it still had a slower 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile time. Thy jus cant find a way to put the horses to the ground. Now there comin out wit a 650 horse power gt500. Wonder how it's gone fair???

  • Just put the good/same tires on the ZR1 and problem solved...

  • Lololololol......etc!

  • The fact is he was driving them 100%, any harder they would've got out of shape!

  • now only if he hot lapped the other cars as hard as he did this one. then we might see this one fall into its true place, around 3rd or so.

  • Chevy has really stepped it up, and the new Camaro Zl1 is is a beast to! Ford take notes!!!!!

  • @MannyRipDCLife Ford has taken notes.. In fact.. If it werent for the camaro's 300hp v6 and 400hp V8 I bet the mustang would still be rocking that old, weak ass 200hp V6 and 300 hp 4.6. V-8

  • i love the GTR as its a mechanical and technical masterpeice, yeah sure the GTR might be a better car to live with and is more practical, but you cant get that noise from a V6 Twin turbo can you, the V8 from the Vette will always be a sound to remember

  • Seriously, where do they get these cars to review, race, hot lap, etc.? Dealerships? I would be pissed if I ound out my brand new Z06 was driven in dirt, beat on, and already raced and rubber burned already. Rental companies? What kind of a rental company has ferarris and crap as a rental? are they cars someone already has? who would give thier prized $90,000 car to MOTORTREND? one of the most biased sources, just so they can make fun of it on the TV show later?

    how did they get them?

  • @J3FFY23 From the car makers...

    Are you for real..or just trolling?

  • @xabipp what happens after they are done with them?

  • @J3FFY23 No idea

  • @J3FFY23 They return the cars to the makers and they go on sell.

  • @krocialblack I would be pretty pissed in I found out my brand new corvette was beat on, driven in dirt, raced, and made fun of on national television already. just doesn't seem right.

  • Car and has a strong history and deserves respect

  • damn the gear shifting makes me jizz it sounds so sexy!

  • Hey guys, how do i get to the "most liked" filter on youtube? I can't seem to find it anywhere since youtube updated their format yet again

  • He sounds like Rick Flair, "Whooo!!!" haha

  • That was sweet. I drove my Boss 302 around Laguna Seca in 1:39.

  • @snakesinmypants You did, did you take your exhaust baffles out and does it have TracKey?

  • @1vdn992 just the baffles because until last month the dealership was not allowed to give me the TracKey because of stupid California emissions laws even though I paid the extra $302 bucks for it.

  • @snakesinmypants I know the feeling, I live in CA, no long tubes, no high flow cats, no 93 octane, it sucks.

    However Ford has gotten the 2013 Shelby Mustang legalized in all 50 and the March Hot Rod has seen over 670 hp stock on the dyno with 91.

  • some guy at your company bought a 100,000 dollar vette and pays 1800 for insurance, sounds like bs to me.

  • @1vdn992 BS is you thinking $4000 a year is accurate!

    Automotive com estimates that it will cost $1,887 dollars per year to insure a 2010 Corvette. This estimate applies to the first five year's of the automobile's life, meaning it will cost slightly less than $10,000 to insure the vehicle in that time period.

    Z06Vette has 15 pages on this topic, and most guys are well under $2000.

  • @HPSLUT500 i drive a 2011 corvette and my insurance is $60/month with high limits. Nationwide is on your side!

  • @tomnguyen717 Don't waste your time with that idiot....

    It is pointless.

  • you hear that sound the engine makes when he accelerates...that's the deference between a real sports/muscle car and all the other inport weed eater brakes down after the first true run crap..

  • @Dominator5515, Good one!Haha

  • ricers and pasta makers got owned

  • This car generates a response like no other! Love it!

  • Now if only the bumper was made out of something that didn't flex when you push it...

  • @GeorgeLCostanza . why do you want to push on the bumper? 

  • Wow! Only 1 second slower than an ACR, despite having a 95 HP handicap.

  • I can see myself getting into a lot of trouble with this thing :)

  • I like how everyone is just throwing hate at this amazing car.

  • "With only 505hp"

  • I'm a Blue Oval guy personally, but the Ford GT makes a porcshe seem cheap! I'd ride in a vette any day for a street legal race car!

  • This car is too awsome for words, minus turbo, minus supercharger, minus AWD half price of most supercars an it takes a man with balls to drive one i respect the GTR an the Porsches an the Benz cuz they r fast without a doubt but this car shits on em all an if you can't respect that then you honestly just hatin an this is not even the ZR1

  • @magnificent10304 Very True! You have too many men that hate on shit like women!!HAha

  • 2013 GT500 in Hot Rod Magazine

    ------------------------------­------------------------------­--------------------

    The March issue has a pretty good article on the '13 GT500, focusing on the engine most of all.

    Of particular note, with respect to a shot of the dyno computer screen: "The 650 HP rating is at the maximum continuous RPM of 6250, but the redline is 7000, at which point we saw 670+ HP on the screen. But Ford probably doesn't want you to know that."

  • @1vdn992 Will they sell more than 200/year of those?

  • @xabipp Really, then what happened in this test,

    watch?v=SZOmL1TLkME

  • @1vdn992 I'm still not interested in a Rustang that sells 200/year.

  • @xabipp A $105,000 for a crumby 2 seat Vette that has a 7.0L NA push-rod with 345 stickys in the rear and all it can muster is a lousy 3.8s to 60, that's real impressive, well you know what they say, "A Fan Boy Jack-Off and His Money are Soon Parted."

    Insurance with a clean record is $4000 a year, then there's those tires, over $2000 a set a year, good luck staying away from tickets & accidents.

  • @1vdn992 $4000 a year!! come on you are not that fucking dumb are you ????? OK that takes the cake for the biggest bunch of shit i think ive ever heard on you tube. 4000 a year dude I knew you were stupid but WOW not that dumb.

  • @1vdn992 Vette's has 335s on the rear idiot.2nd of all my father's co worker has a brand new 2011 Carbon Edition and it cost him $900/ year to insure it.

    Oh he also paid $79,000 to get it.People have been paying $80k for brand new 2012 Z06 with the whole shebang.

    $275,000 for a Ford GT...that was actually slower than a $65,000 Z06 back in the day...

    Talk about waste of money.

  • @xabipp 4000 a year for insurance on a zo6 what a bunch of shit maybe if you have 5 drunk driving tickets 10 speeding tickets and you've had about 10 crashes that's not right 4000 thats like 335 a month for insurance this guy is a FORD troll and tool. I guessing around 1000 to 1500 and I think thats high but 4000 no way

  • @gmrtg1414 Father's co worker's Z06 insurance is about 900/year.

    I know of at least 100 people from Corvette Forum with insurance that is less than $1,000/month.

    He is...not only pathetic but also upset because he knows that Ford has no car that can ever come close to what the Z06 is :/

    Sad Sad....

  • @xabipp Dude I already checked it out, new ZO7 with no tickets or accidents AAA almost $4000 a year, oh and what you're going to be under insured, I figured as much. You can play with the money you don't have all you want it's not going to change anything.

    The people with money, AKA the smart guys, place a much higher value on 05-06 FGTs than any new Vette, ZO7s/ZR1s have done nothing to devalue them.

    The 7.0L ZO7 has 345 stickys in the rear and the 3300 2 seat does 60 in 3.8s WHOOPEE

  • Comment removed

  • @1vdn992 I have also checked it.

    900/year from I have seen.Nice try btw.

    Z07 has 335s unless you want to tell me that the Z06 actually has wider tires than the ZR1?

    Please....go find and troll some Rustang videos.So far...I can only see that your so upset with GM humiliating everything on their way.It's ok....your just a kid with a Rustang.

    Have fun in your 15 sec Fox Body.

  • @1vdn992 $4000 LOL what a rip. One of the guys at my company just bought a Z06 loaded - the Centenial pkg and hes paying $1800 and hes 34yrs old. Its insurance you moron!!! WTF does YOU getting a quote from one insuranc company mean. Totally useless!!!

    This video is painfull to watch Im sure. Did you ever think that you see a eat a GTR at every test 2 yrs in a row LOL! Stop moaning.. deal with it.

  • @HPSLUT500 I got it straight from the horses mouth, at a $105,000 i doubt they're going to sell very many of these death traps.

  • @1vdn992 The car tested above was 102K vs the GTRs 101K. The GTR is now $96,600 base. Like I said the cost of insurance is ALL relative to many things like age - zip code - state ect. YOU getting a quote fo 4K means nothing. As i just pointed out that one of the guys in my company got it for $1800.

  • @1vdn992 what the hell are you talking about? haha everybody's insurance is different dude. just because your dumbass would pay $4000 to insure a car doesnt mean the whole world would. im paying $60/month buddy

  • @tomnguyen717 You'd be lucky to find anybody that would insure you. You'd wreck this bitch on your thousand $ a year insurance and expect them to replace this widow maker for a hundred grand. BTW what planet are you from?

  • @1vdn992 Still crying fanboy?

    15 sec Fbody videos are down the hall.Move on.

  • @xabipp Shit a 15sec fbody insurance must run like 1500 a year Right? I would love to sell insurance I know who I want for my first client LOL.

  • @1vdn992 Sorry big guy but the Corvette forums have many a Z06 owner payin under $2000 a year easy.. You just cant handle the truth. And doont understand the insurance system and how something as little as zip code can change the price huge.

  • @HPSLUT500 Most of the Z06 owners pay under 1k easy....

    Some of them pay about 500 for a GS....i've seen 475 for an LS2 Vert....

  • @HPSLUT500 Right, you don't insure replacement value on a high dollar Vette, you just scrap it out and send it to the wrecking yard, which is where it belongs.

  • @1vdn992 Yeah the scarp yard. Such a loser response. Why you even bother trolling Corvette vids is beyond me.

  • @1vdn992 UMADBRU?

  • Comment removed

  • Just got one of these yesterday. With the Henessey HPE1000 twin turbo put in it. 1000 HP baby. Amazing car. Waayyyyyy better than stangs and stuff like that. I hate Mustangs. Ugly shit. Lol.

  • @666tearsofblood666 Sure you did.

  • @3XICS LOL Yes I did. Why would I say it if I didn't?

  • i love

    CORVETTE

  • randy is the laguna stig

  • @philtripe /agree

  • "Call it a day" Well said, too many "expert" comments from people that think they're connoisseur but really don't know anything about cars.

    In the end Corvette is one of the best sports car (even though it's fan boys make it look like a car only scumbags would like/buy) and let's be honest you have to respect the GT-R for it's performance despite weighting much more then it's competitors.

    I hope this pleases all fan boys (Corvette, GT-R alike) so they can shut up and stop flooding this page.

  • @3XICS With handling like this i'd call the Vette world class,

    watch?v=c-dymza3iTA

    watch?v=kzlg3oQMze4

  • @1vdn992 One crash and one near crash ? not very good examples.

  • @1vdn992 Haha one C6 getting smashed by an older modified C5, and another modified C6 breaking traction on VHT. Bother driver problems. Please replay the above video.

  • natural aspired is so 1999

  • Whenever a Vette lays down the fastest lap everyone gets so upset haha :) Who cares about AWD and twin clutch transmissions, this is meant to be a very fast lightweight bare bones sports car and that's what makes it a "Driver's Car"!

  • @McFly2015AD Yuk yuk yuk, read the article, Chevy offers and Motor Trend states, the $105,000 ZO7 came equipped with factory cheater tires, it is the only car that did and is the sole reason why this car is 3s quicker per lap than without'em, in simple terms Chevys engineers had nothing to do with cutting lap times except for the fact they installed sticky rubber that runs over $2000 a set and you'll have to replace them once a year, and the car ran a pathetic 60 in 3.8s/11.8s 1/4.

  • @1vdn992 Cool Story Bro. Especially the part about the Z06 being faster by 3 sec a lap, that's what I like to hear :)

  • @1vdn992 if your talking about these cars or (actually driving them) 2000 for tires isnt a issue.

  • @1vdn992 It still faster than any Ford in the last 50 years.I know it hurts you :/

  • @1vdn992 porsche and ferrari must be cheaters too. maybe all cars should start using tires from the 1960's, because apparently a good pair of tires is cheating......

  • @1vdn992 Since when is mid 11 sec pathetic? MT also got 3.5 sec and 11.5 at "127mph" which NO GTR has ever come close.

    Then we get to you MOANING about tires. In the very same test the they had as car called the Audi R8 GT that has 60HP MORE than the Z06, AWD, Paddle shifter AND..... the NEW P ZERO CORSA'S that are a 60 AA SEMISLICK!

    The same test also had the 911 GT3RS that sport MIchelin Cup tires also on a car that is basically a street legal race car.

  • @McFly2015AD a drivers car? lmao! i see you've never driven a vette before. It has the structural rigidity of an elastic band.

  • @xflynskywlkr23 This just in: Structural rigidity not needed to be faster than Nissan GT-R or Ferrari 458. Cool story bro.

  • @McFly2015AD Not quite sure what thats got to do with the z06 being a drivers car. Not sure i'll ever understand....bro!

  • This video makes me so sad I sold my C5. I had to because I had to buy a house. The Z06 MUST be my next Vette! Maybe I'll sell my house. Drool... :-P

  • @KingHaggis Family > toys.

    Ask me how I know...:(

  • Comment removed

  • But at the end of the Z06 off the factory floor beats them all. Argue about tires till your fingers fall off, thats the bottom line. BOO HOO!

  • @HPSLUT500 gtr>zo6

  • @altimgamr LOL this video burns huh lol

  • @HPSLUT500 lol burns what? gtr kills zo6 dude

  • @altimgamr LOL did you not watch the video above? IT KILLED THE GTR by 2 sec a lap. 1:34 vs 1:36. How fucked up are you that given video proof and you still hide like a bitch and deny it. LOL IT BURNS!!!

  • @altimgamr Another crying fanboy.

    Lmao.

  • @xabipp another clueless redneck.. lmao.

  • @altimgamr GTR got toasted.

    Deal with it loser.

  • @xabipp retard gtr wipes the floor with the z06 deal with it troll

  • @altimgamr Cool story, Bro.

    In the mean time...get in touch with reality.

  • @xabipp i am where are you? lost in a little wet dream where the vette is actually a respectable car i assume? well where i am(reality) gtr murders z06

  • @altimgamr I like the GTR, but you should have some respect for Covettes. Randy Pobst ran the Corvette at 1:34 and the GTR at 1.36. Two seconds at Mazda Speedway is a lot of time and he did that with a FRD over a AWD. Again, I respect the GTR for what it is, but you have to except that there's competition and the Corvette is all too often underestimated; especially when you consider it's price against it's competition.

  • @altimgamr I'm yet to see a GTR murder a Vette.

    Keep dreaming in that dream world of yours kiddie.Thats all you have left.

  • @altimgamr why compare an american car to a rice burner?

  • @altimgamr bro , even tho the argument is over on the video , why must you continue to troll ? like for real ? ....

  • @Bravo12RX Because it's killing him on the inside.Thats why.

  • @xabipp why would it be killing me? the car i like won..gtr>z06

  • @altimgamr You need to get a life btw.

    Try going to school or something.....

  • @xabipp i do... what do you do? troll.. thats it haha what a life you have
