In the world of high-performance supercars, the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica stand out as top contenders. Each brings a unique set of attributes to the table, from their eye-catching designs to their heart-racing performance capabilities. Let's dive into a detailed comparison of these two automotive marvels.
Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica: This model is a visual feast, integrating elements from various past concept cars. The Y-shaped Ypsilon design around the LED headlights and the air curtains are notable features. It also boasts side intakes, a massive rear diffuser, a fixed rear wing, hexagonal exhaust tips, and 20-inch wheels, blending aesthetics and functionality effortlessly.
Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06: GM has redefined the regular Corvette Stingray to craft the Z06, featuring a unique fascia at both ends. The front design enhances cooling, while the rear boasts an adjustable wickerbill spoiler. Its side intakes are shaped like the Stingray logo, and there are up to seven wheel choices. The four exhaust exits in the rear diffuser add a dramatic flair.
Huracan Tecnica: Inside, you're greeted with an Alcantara finish, a redesigned digital interface, a central touchscreen for infotainment and climate control, carbon fiber elements, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. It’s a cabin that screams luxury and performance.
C8 Z06: The interior is driver-focused, with a digital cluster and a touchscreen infotainment display. It features double stitching, Alcantara-covered surfaces, aluminum accents, and a variety of color options. It’s a blend of sportiness and functionality.
Huracan Tecnica: Powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine, it churns out 631 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. The Tecnica can sprint from 0-60 mph in around 3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 202 mph.
C8 Z06: The Z06 boasts a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated LT6 V8 engine, producing a higher 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. It achieves 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, though its top speed might fall slightly short of the 200 mph mark.
Huracan Tecnica: With an estimated price tag near $300,000, it’s positioned as a premium offering in the supercar segment.
C8 Z06: Priced around $150,000, the Z06 presents a more affordable option, offering immense value for its performance capabilities.
Both the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica are masterpieces of automotive engineering, each appealing to different aspects of the supercar enthusiast’s desires. The Huracan Tecnica captivates with its special interior and performance, while the C8 Z06 impresses with its power and affordability. Ultimately, the choice between these two depends on individual preferences and priorities - whether it's the sheer luxury and performance of the Lamborghini or the raw power and value of the Chevrolet.
The 2nd run was pure drag race perfection. Identical reaction time.
I’ve never seen that, such close race
That second race displayed how amazing that z06 is, pretty much depending on the driving, it's anyone's race
Looks ugly compared to the lambo @@Kevin-xv2nh
@@youngman0520 nah bro, that c8 looks amazing 😍
@@Kevin-xv2nhbet you like fat women too
Considering the price difference, the C8 Z06 is pretty awesome.
Yes, though i prefer the beauty of the shapes and size of the Hurican, the fact that this one costs the double of the C8 changes all...
@@user-bj2zu2ex1y That is whats awesome about cars...I actually like the Z06 better but with the other spoiler.
@@MrJeffhart24 ^ i keep going back and fourth on this. the simple beauty of the Zo6 without aero looks epic but the aero makes it more special.
the only reason to even look at the chevy
@@jonhaze7537in your opinion...it has the performance and the look
The fact that the Z06 pretty much was neck and neck in the second race, speaks volumes for how far Chevy has come! Great race both cars sound amazing!
Corvettes have been performing amazingly for quite some time. Look up the 2009 ZR1, it was spanking supercars of that time. This is nothing new to Chevy, they’ve been doing a great job with the Corvette.
@@drivescene6747 I agree with you but journalists always seem to put the corvette down. I have watched so many reviews where they talk bad about it but I see that it’s slowing changing for the better.
@@mikec538 most “journalists” regurgitate the same crap.
@@drivescene6747 couldn’t agree with you more!

Love the enthusiasm
He picked up half a second just by getting a good launch. Crazy how much of a difference just hooking makes
The Sport Cup 2R’s on the Z06 are like hockey pucks when cold, and sticky glue when hot. It’s tough to get them warmed up properly at drag races when they can’t do standing burnouts.
Hook & Book!
This is true...if you wanna win a race you must be in motion.
I also wonder if spinning caused any ignition timing corrections that would hinder performance.
I experienced the same thing when I put slicks on my car. Went from a 12.3 to an 11.8 1/4 mile. Traction is everything in a drag race.
That 2nd race was one of the best races I’ve EVER seen! 🤯
I would have liked to see the drivers switch cars for a couple passes
I will never understand why this man doesn’t have 1,000,000+ subs best content on KZhead. He Covers all bases, specs, prices,0-60 1/4 times, exotic cars, regular cars, electric cars. Great video.
Yes a bit too clinical.
Because he gathered too many Teslafanboys that arent interested in anything else than Tesla.
Why do you care how many subs he has ?
Not everyone cares for supercars. Now if he were lining up camaros, mustangs, and I don't mean zl1s ans supersnakes,, pitting those against 400z's and hyundai's then I'm sure he would gather more people in.
Because he is straight to business.and not out here looking stupid and acting a fool on camera
the 2nd run was insane you guys took off at the exact same time. great runs
According to that second race, which is about as close as it gets, the tecnica definitely gets a little on the top end, but I'm curious how the vette would do with just the lip spoiler instead of the track spoiler. That extra downforce might be the deciding factor in a drag. Man that v10 sounds so good.
It doesn’t make too much of a difference in a drag race. The non z07s still post same et and trap speeds
The 300 pounds is the difference. Drop 300 pounds to same weight and corvette wins easy
@@Thumper68 do you have proof?
@@iseehowitis9382 yeah we all do go test any vehicle then drop 300 pounds do same test see results this is common sense power to weight ratio.
@Thumper68 Well that kinda makes it a "What if" situation. What if the Huracan had this this and that, it would also beat the Corvette than.
The aero plus the car Z06 just passed 500 which isn't even broke in yet. It should get a tad quicker with more miles put on it
It will, from the engine to all the drivetrain components will loosen up and produce more power😳……….car and driver used to dyno their long term cars new and at 40 thousand miles and they always made more power than when new! 🤷🏽♂️
With the time it did, it is probably broken in by now
@@aventusV33no, still need miles
@@ztwntyn8 and what time would it have ran then ?
The corvette was absolutely impressive in 2nd race
I would love to see the AWD E-Ray Corvette run against the speedy Huracan. The Z06 was hit and miss, depending on the launch and traction.

Only gays and women drive EV's. Joke's on you!@Matriarchy_Feminism
@@Matriarchy_FeminismI think you meant plaids are for gays. You’re welcome.
Plaid destroys gay engines💩💩🤮
Damn based on that 2nd pass it seems like the drag of the wing and the longer gearing was the ZO6's downfall at the top end. Great race!
Yup plus a couple hundred pounds.
The drag from the aero slows them down at higher speeds as well.
That second pass neck to neck was pretty spectacular and the sound of those two engines its nuts.
That v10 sounds so good when he gets off the gas at the end
the track packages are always slower in a straight line due to excessive downforce. if it didnt have the zo7, it woulda won 2nd race.
would like to see how they compare on a track
Brooks killin that 60 foot in a RWD Lambo!
Such an amazing race. That 2nd one was a thrill to follow from your POV. Cant imagine how fun it is to compete with a car at basically the same tier, or almost. Great video Brooks, love the Huracan Tecnica!
thanks!
Z06 driver has no clue what he’s doing, so funny
Race 2 was the pick of the bunch & proves that the Z06 is great bang for buck & the car sounds EPIC !!! The shift on the Z06 sounds lazy so if a Transmission tune is available, I would definitely do it as that could shave off a couple of tenths & make it a more thrilling ride. Great content as always .... keep up the good work 😎
Part of the price difference. I fast shifting trans is really expensive. Getting into race car territory.
the Z06 has a duel clutch, same as ferrari and everything else, its not lazy
@@mikedelape6609 you do realize the clutch isn't the transmission right?
Im sure it wasnt on sport mode the z06 on sport mode makes ignition cut when shifting.
OMG, so refreshing to see someone willing to take advice who is new to drag racing. So over the big ego thing these days, he's gonna be a better drag racer as a result.
I love this Z06. It shouldn’t be expected to beat every car, but keeping up with these guys at $110k is phenomenal
185k 😢😢
I agree but if you can find a C8 Z06 for 110k let me know. This one on the video was optioned at 160k. Even a low option version is around 135-140k.
@@CbCloses you could if you were in line for an allocation and got at msrp. On dealer lots, not yet. But some in the mid 125s I’ve seen. But it’s an irrelevant argument, cause you also can’t get a Tecnica in inventory, brand new, at base msrp.
@@SupercarRanch There’s no argument. You said 110K. There’s no Z06s on the market for 110k. Maybe in a year or 2 when used prices come down. It’s still a great value even at 130-140K. I would buy one at 110k right now.
@@CbCloses ok. But the fact is some people could buy one for that. Or for $114k for a 2024 after the price increase. My 2023 was a $111k msrp and my 2024 was a $114k msrp. That is the sticker price. But ok, let’s play the game here. Insert $125k in my original post and the rest of the exact same comment stands. Which you can get one for $125k today if you wanted to. We’re splitting hairs instead of just respecting the value of this great car.
I still enjoy the fact that America is putting out globally competitive sports cars now days. Hats off to Chevy (and I’ve always been a ford guy 😊)
Ford is also not sleeping in the job either. The current mustang darkhorse makes a dent in the performance world (so did the gt350 or both the fords GTs). Credit to both companies for letting engineers do what they do best. And hats off for Tesla for showing everyone how to innovate. We are living the best era of American car companies. (Coming from someone from Europe)
@@jowarrior Growing up it felt like the golden age of performance vehicles was over and ended in the late 60s/early 70s. Man was I wrong! Love the New Mustang and of course the Ford GT is amazing. The big three are putting out some crazy products these days and I never thought I’d see a “Cyber Truck” lol
@@jowarrioragreed. Ford and Chevrolet have been killing it for about a decade now with performance vehicles. I had a Focus RS, was supposed to get a ZL1- 1LE Camaro, but it got cancelled from the factory. Now currently own a Mach 1 handling package Mustang. Love my 🇺🇸 cars
America's been doing that since the 60s lol (Grand Sport, Ford GT, Shelby Cobra, ZR1, ZL1, L88)
@@aaronvector4750 they have done it in the 60s, went on a 50 year downturn and picked up in the mid to late 2000s
what makes an exotic is more than straight line speed. The c6 zr1 was running the Nürburgring in 7:18 while the enzo , carrera gt, slr , Gtr were 8+ seconds slower. The c6 z06 same year running a 7:22 beat all of them as well. So there needs to be a definition of exotic or supercar vs hypercar vs etc etc. Brooks should havve run a pass or two in the vette. Brooks gets the best out of the cars.
The c6 Z06 was capable of a 10 second 1/4 mile as well. To this day the c6 is the most impressive corvette in my opinion.
the c6 zr1 did over 7.19 and that was with Jim Mero after heaps of laps above 7:25! A bunch of GM engineers were sent for weeks to tweak the car for the track and squeeze the best laptime. While the Enzo was driven a couple of laps without any proper adjustments by EVO car magazine journalist on crappy bridgestone potenza 050 tires and with electronic dampers issues. At the hands of a non GM conducted test the c6 zr1 did 7:38. If the Enzo would have been tweaked by Ferrari for the the NRing with a pro driver and better tires it would have easily posted a 7:17. Some people at that time went as far as to say that the Enzo without dampers issues and proper tires could have set a sub 7:15.
The sound generated by those two engines: Glorious!
The last part reminded me of the race in F&F1 with Paul almost winning only to witness Toretto passing him at the very last yard and winning the race. He said: "I almost got you", and Toretto replied: "You never had your car! It does not matter if you win by an inch or by a mile, what matters is winning". Nice race! Vettes always come close to supercars costing 2-3 times as much. That along is an accomplishment.
Good God!! Same reaction time on that second race and the cars were head to heat till the end, very impressive
Crazy to think 15 years ago I took a 2001 Z06, Yanked the 5.7 LS6 and T56 and dropped in a C6Z LS7 427 with a mild cam and some heads and tossed in a 4L65 Auto with a 3500 converter and ran 10.00 @ 139
Great cars and great runs. The Tecnica trap speed is just insane. You can tell the car just keeps on pulling in the top gears, where the Z06 not as much. I just took delivery of both these cars (non aero Z06) about a month ago, but unfortunately have to wait for the weather to do any testing like this. THanks for sharing, awesome work.
The Z06 that did 10.3 had carbon wheels but did not have the Z07 package. for drag racing is the way to go. leave the Z07 package for track only Gr8 video, love the blue colors
There is reason. Do not like when some (not this channel) tested big rear wing version in drag races and propose more advanced car (advanced for track) as a drag car
@@streamcnoremorse3323yeah the c7 zr1 had an absolutely massive spoiler
Nice video as always man. Nice to watch
Great race!!! That Z06 is insane for the price. Can’t wait to see how the E-Ray holds up.
The E-ray and the ZR1 are going to be insane
E ray runs 10.3 at its best
ZR1 for the future win
10.45 on a rwd tecnica is very good! Congrats on that. We need more tecnica drag races! Beautiful Z06 as well.
Such a fun one. Great stuff man
That 2nd race was remarkable. Same reaction time and perfect launches from both, and all the way out to the finish, that was the purest race to really see what these car are capable of. This was fire.
Brooks has a built in timing system at this point 🤣
Loving the Tecnica content.
Can't wait for ZR1
Or the Zora!
That second run was not just good because it was close, but listen to the sound of the Vette 5:55 🥰😍🤩 Anytime I see my favorite brand, Lambo, and my favorite car, Vette, it's a great day!
Someone made the comment that this is an awesome channel, besides always having killer sleds racing, the picture quality and production is first cabin. I’ve always enjoyed this channel
Congrats Brooks on that Tecnica record of 10.4. Bet the car could do close to high 9s if it had a good supercharger & ECU tune. That Blu Uranus is a real fab color..👍
Hey Brooks, I noticed that Huracan hooks up better than virtually every other RWD Huracan. Is it running non-OEM tires? What do you have on there? Impressive runs for sure.
I always come prepared.... Toyos on the back, but I don't think I needed them.... Bradenton is a great track...
@@DragTimes It 60’ very strong. It would’ve been nice to see what it did on the stock rubber since the launch is where the Z06 is so strong for a RWD car and it’s a weakness of the Huracan. It probably got the Huracan an extra 1-2 tenths which would’ve had the Z06 winning in some races. Sounds like he was struggling for some reason though, probably couldn’t get enough heat in the tires.
Ahhhhhhh🙄😏@@DragTimes
Do like your taste in cars, Brooks 😃👍 Unfortunately, KZhead algo has deprived me of your videos for what must be at least 9 months... Anyway, glad to be back
That white Corvette, the older style, IMO, is the most beautiful.
Brooks, would you consider doing best of 3 drag race in your videos, then switching drivers and do best of 3 again ? I realize it would make video longer etc. but may give better results ? Just an idea, keep up the great content 👍
Yes he’s clearly almost always the better driver lol The car that likely wins this matchup is the me he’s in although the Technica seems to have a little more top end
Yea I'm not sure all the owners of such high priced vehicles would be comfortable with getting them pushed to the limits and possibly damaged by a 3rd party
Would be really interesting to do that again against a corvette witout the aero and better tires. Because that could make the difference especially on those higher speeds where the Lambo pulls ahead
How better tires are to make a difference at ... higher speeds?
Did not see the Z06 warming up the tires either with a little bit more breaking in for the Z06 they'll be neck & neck.
@@Elberoth No the tires for the better start because the corvette had problems at that start as he said and as you saw. And the aero at the higher speeds as you also saw in the video.
@@MastermoussaLambo was faster AFTER the start, even when Vette managed a perfect start. At speed, bber tires would be of no help. Lambo is just a faster car.
That Corvette and Tecnica have similar aero though (the Tecnica might have even more with it's diffuser)
Good stuff as usual 💯👍
Would love to see roll race against turbo s n tecnica
Swap the drivers and the outcome will be different
No it wouldn’t have actually the tecnica is a good 3-4 mph faster in trap speed because the z06 has downforce 🤡

Given the price that vette did amazingly well.
The only person out of a few that knows how to drive a car consistently. Good job and video Brook.
Great race!!! Can’t wait to see how the E-Ray holds up.
There is a power restriction on torque until the break-in process is finished. According to the Z06 owners manual, once the break-in period is completed, you can remove the limitation on engine torque by following these steps: turn off the vehicle, open and close the driver door, and make sure all doors are closed for 15 minutes. Brooks, can you verify if this procedure was followed before the drag runs?
It went a 10.5 dude. It's safe to say the car is now fully unlocked.
You were so encouraging as you were coaching him without being condescending. You seem like a good dude
Another great vid! Have you ever gone up against BoostedF150?
I still wonder why they made the gears so tall in the corvette
fuel economy
@@steven-fury yeah but on a performance vehicle?
@gevindrabelle265 yes. Hence why they get close to 30 mpg on the highway, if they shortened the gear ratios, they would be much quicker
There are Z06s that have run 10.3s which is impressive at any price but even more so when it's $145K cheaper than the Lamborghini.
If your main criteria for a car's price is the 1/4 mile time, I am sure you can build one that is faster than the Corvette for half the price of the Z06. It may be a POS and not good at anything else but satisfy the 1/4 mile criteria.
@@heiner71 never said it was my main criteria. I'm saying in the world of mid engine supercars the Z06 is a value for the performance it offers not only on the drag strip but at a road course as well. I find it hysterical that the majority of hate for the C8 Z06 comes from people who couldn't afford it or the Italian competition.
@@zonapainter i was just being facetious 🙂. Of course you are right.
Even if i could afford it, it isnt worth it - its just a chev. Price means nothing, there are faster cheaper cars.
this was great to watch!
In addition to the huge price difference between the Corvette and the Lamborghini the most significant difference is reliability. Corvettes can race hard all day and drive home reliably. You never know when your Lamborghini will break down.
The aero got him.
z06 has to be cycled off once 500 mile break in is complete to "unlock" the torque limit in 1st and 2nd GM put. I wonder if the owner did that. Not that it would make a difference since his 10.5 run looked good. Plus these cars aren't known to trap high. 127-130 is about what i can do.
128-131 is typical for the Z06 depending on the weather yup. Some anomalies have trapped up to 134.
Great stuff!
Can wait for the E-Ray 1/4 mile run.
Hasn't someone already gone high 9s in an e ray?
not yet but Hagerty did a 10.4 on a non prep track. It beat the Lambo and Ferrari it raced. Everyone should go check out that video. Gets into some of the good info.
I'm glad you talked about the Corvette running 11s all day and then coming in to do a 10.5. That made me wonder: Why is it that Porsche, BMW, and Lambo always seem to do better as they do more 1/4 mile races in a day, whereas Corvette does worse the more races they do in a day? Do you think Corvette is better off underrating their 0-60 and 1/4 mile times like BMW and Porsche do? Chevy seems to post these nearly impossible numbers to achieve.
European cars tend to have more consistency in launching than American
@@thomasgrabkowski8283 Yes, but, why?
Corvette's engineers just need to do better work with the launch and traction control.
@@chachichochacorta8577better engineered.
It has nothing to do with engineering guys. It’s the tires lol. Sport Cup 2R’s are very difficult to get enough heat in them to get great traction. Launches are far more consistent on the lower end Z06 tire, the Pilot Sport 4S. I ran 7 passes in my Z06 all within 1-2 tenths of each other. Incredibly consistent.
I know no one else would agree but I will take that Vette over the Lambo. That is the greatest production NA V8 ever created. I think the C8 looks great too. Both cars are fantastic but my choice is the Vette especially if I have to pay for it.
Can’t go wrong with either but Lamborghini for me all day
It will really come down to the person, but you really can’t go wrong either way. I would go with the Huracan for that amazing EA824 V10 and the package as a whole
For the price of the lambo I can get the z06 and a bad ass 1000hp c6 zr1. Z06 all day
Also the greatest production N/A V10 ever created. Dont really like Chev so im taking the Lambo.
@@uraniumcranium2613 some would argue the Lexus LFA is the greatest production N/A V10 ever created.

That 2nd race was amazing!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Used to be a GM fan until they took the nearly 20 billion of OUR tax money for the bailout and still have the nerve to charge customers 50-80k over sticker price for their vehicles. Disgusting business practice from a company that technically should not even exist... How soon people forget.
Correct me if I am wrong, but GM isn’t charging over sticker. The dealerships are. Plus, that type of practice is not isolated to GM.
It was actually about 52 billion. 7 billion was a “loan”, which they paid back. The rest of the bailout money became the govt equity, which they sold off for a loss of about 12 billion.
It's called inflation next year your witness hyperinflation.
@@hofahome correct...
So why are you mad at GM for taking the bailout money and charging 50 to 80k over sticker? The funny thing is Ford and Dodge also got bailout money and do the same exact thing charging so much over sticker, but it's not the company's charging all of that over the sticker price. That's specifically on the dealerships that are ripping off the consumer. You might want to know what your actually talking about buddy.
So, for a fraction of the price, you get similar performance out of the Z06 in a straight line. Not to mention the additional track capabilities. If you really want to go all out, then try for an eRay in straight line excellence.
Lol I think we all know by now the C8 is disrupting the supercar market. They've only been talking about it for the past 3 years. 😅 Also in the case of the Z06 with aero pack they are currently trading for 200K and up, so I wouldn't call that a fraction.
Or wait for ZR1
@@thomasgrabkowski8283 Yes, once it's released in 2025.
@@nighthawk0077 $160k for a decent c8 Z06 versus $300K for an optioned Hurucan Tecnica. I'll take the track inspired Z06 and apply a simple tune along with good tires and pretty much rip the track.
I am not sure if I would be using the language "a fraction of the price" when we're talking $160k vs $290k. Yes, it's slightly less than half the cost, but that's really not that impressive. I mean, even $250k vs 290k could be described as a fraction of the price. That language used to be reserved for when a Lamborghini was $200-300k and the $65k Z06 was competing with it or beating it with slight mods. Especially when you know that in 5 years that Huracan will be worth $220-230 while the Z06 will be worth $60-70k.
Brooks gets it. Dropped this on a Sunday. Nice!
2nd run....now that was a helluva race
I'm VERY impressed with the Z06. Cant wait for the ZR1 and Zora. Zora should be a 9 second car! 😮
I think with a little more break-in the Vette could win. Great race. GM making magic on a budget as always. That Lambo sounds glorious.
you sure? because the lambo was still pulling even when ahead..
Without the Z07 aero, probably would have won round 2. But i don’t think it could do a 10.4 without a pro driving and perfect conditions
lamborghini tecnica weight is 3040 lbs the power to weight is more in favor of the lamborghini. The Z06 is a bigger and heavier car.
Very very unlikely, even without the aero it couldn’t win. The thecnica weights in at 3300lbs hooks so much better as well..
@@ktb660 No, not sure, but just guess.
Exotic? No. Super car? Absolutely!
Corvette race fit +50hp
Vette will probably do better with some more break-in. This was a good apples-to-apples race.
😂
Not bad for the vette keeping up with a rwd V10 lambo
With 30 more horsepower
Yeah not bad when it’s making more power and torque. Cylinder count is totally irrelevant, it plays no role in any way in this race
@@PapiAndrey cheaper too by a lot
The Z06 also weighs about 200 pounds more and has more aggressive aero which slows it down up top. Both impressive cars. Where the Z06 shines is on track. Not much can compete with it. Including the Lambo. Money not being a determining factor, I’d take the Lambo.
@@bunzaroo If money is the determining factor, you still take the Lambo?
Excellent channel = I am all in !
I’d like to see more head-to-heads on the track vs. drag strip action that most people are doing. These cars are designed to turn right & left. Still fun to see the straight line speed, but more fun with corners.
Best looking vette by far
zo6 needs a better driver
Not gonna lie, that technica from the side view going down the track on that second run looked bad ass
Did you stop at the Freedom Factory before or after going to the track ?
With the C8 being so good...will people do replicas of Paganis, LaFerraris, Koenigseggs, etc based on them? I'd actually welcome that.
No. The people that does those replicas are broke, that's why you see them on shitbox platforms like the Fiero, MR2, etc. You're never going to see someone starting on a $130k platform. Now, you might see some one-off car designs using the C8 platform.
Ignore the other guy lol. There is actually a boutique supercar built directly off the C8 platform. Look up the Ares Modena. So yes, they are.
As incredible as the c8 z06 is, it’s more a European car than an American muscle car. The used so many things out the euro supercar playbook. Things they pioneered and have been doing for decades.
What’s wrong with that? The only thing they missed was making the body tight and fitted. The Z06 still looks like a fat-ass.
The corvette was never a muscle car. Its considered a sports car.
That doesnt make sense bro None of that is true. Nothing is euro exclusive about cars All countries make MR platform cars
There is no EU car that has done what The C8 Z06 has. Magnaride , the Alpha chassis and the LT6 are all Domestic patented 100%%
So what? It has nothing to do with the country of origin and the Corvette was never a “muscle car” The V8 was first made by the French, what does that tell you? This idea about country of origin is stupid
This was a great video.
@DragTimes Brooks, what happened to the Z06 at the 2nd run was drag. That Z07 package kicked in and got it screwed.
Once the motor in the Z06 lessens up after few more miles, it should easily pull ahead of a Tecnica!
😂 excuses excuses
Z06 can have 5k miles and it will still not pull the technica, u guys need to understand that 40hp more is not enough to win when ur 300lbs heavier Not to mention the drag package the z06 has
Z06 needs warmer tires next time there were no burn outs.
@@MonicaHolly143The C8 Z06's record is 10.3 at 134mph. that is, faster than the Huracán
Both sound great but the v10 sounds better
How you auto shift in corsa mode , i cant do it in my performante? Any trick?
Great race
Spoiler alert... NO... it's not.
Those cars are beautiful, sound good and are fast, but it's hard to believe family sedans from Tesla and Lucid can make them look slow. When Tesla and Lucid build sports cars the beatings will be brutal.
4680 Roadster = GAME OVER ⚡️🇺🇸
@@larryc1616never gonna be real dream on 🎉
It literally isn’t crazy 😂 those “sedans” have 1200-1300 plus hp while these cars are only under 700 hp and aren’t engineered for drag racing what’s your idiotic comment about exactly? Okay a koenigsegg gemera would smoke both of those your point?
@@larryc1616one the roadster is never gonna be real that’s a gimmick of a car and second of all even if it did against there’s still much faster cars out there ✌️ Chiron ss and Koenigsegg jesko would smoke that battery anyways
@@ericship8383the og comment is a casual those sedans have 600-700 more hp yet somehow they’re still surprised lmao it’s like getting surprised that a ford pickup is better off road than a luxury Cadillac SUV
It's very apparent that aerodynamics played a role in the end. The ZO6 most likely would have edged it out without a track package 😊
10 second factory na cars is bloody awesome 💪🏼
The Z06 is slow, compared to its competition.
😂 You are on some interesting drugs.
@@bluebomber697 Not at all! But a supercar with nearly 700 hp shouldn't have to struggle to do 130mph over the 1/4 mile distance. Especially new car. This in 2023. Look at how effortlessly and consistently the lambo did it. Now, sure, the Lambo is lighter. But it also has less power than the Vette.
@@TheTmat007 The Z06 typically does trap 130 effortlessly and consistently. I have no idea why this guy had so much trouble. I did 7 passes in mine and every run was within 2 tenths, all at 130-131 trap. I do street passes better than this guy was doing track passes even.
The Vette is a truly impressive "budget" car. These aren't drag racing cars, but just imagine modding them into beasts.
And this gentleman is how you make a race video thank you straight to the point not slot of talkin and bs
Wow Brooks is looking buff! You press your foot down any harder it's gonna flinstone out the bottom of the floorboard. 😂 good race
Second run was nuts
