2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Races Porsche 992 GT3, Ducati V4 SP2, and Audi R8 V10 - Cammisa Drag Race
This drag race pits the new 2023 Corvette Z06, and its outrageous, 8600-rpm 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V-8 against the world's fastest naturally aspirated, mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive cars - and one motorcycle:
Representing the 4-cylinder engine is the 15,500-rpm Ducati Panigale SP2, Ducati's top-of-the-line track-focused superbike.
The 6-cylinder Porsche 911 GT3 is the naturally aspirated benchmark at more than 125 hp/liter and a 9000-rpm redline.
And the Audi R8 Performance V10 Spyder RWD has an 8700-rpm screaming V-10 shared with the Lamborghini Huracan.
In this episode of Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Replay, Webby Award-winning automotive journalist is joined by SCCA Hall of Fame Race Car Driver Randy Pobst - and MotoAmerica Supersport Champion rider Josh Herrin.
And they might have attacked one another with a baseball bat.

Thank you so much for this experience. You guys are a top notch crew to work with! Let’s include more bikes in your future videos!
amazing launch man
Nice job josh!
Yessssss!!
Legend.
Congratz for the launching and this perfect quarter mile!
That controlled wheelie down the runway while racing the corvette was awesome!
Imagine how much faster he would've been if he kept the front end down some.
@@backyardhooper06 Probably not at all. He was riding the line between maximum acceleration and looping it. Just like how maximum braking on a motorcycle comes when the rear tire is slightly off the ground but not going over.
@@backyardhooper06 not possible
@@backyardhooper06 the trick is (or at least thats what i have read) to be able to keep te wheelie on the exact angle that allows the entire weight of the bike to be on the rear wheel for max traction, and also with geining higher speeds to also use the air's drag forces to push the bike down for extra traction because a bike like that is capable of loosing traction in pretty high speeds. if he had the front wheel on the ground he loses too much weight on the rear not being able to gain the extra performance of the available power. so actually that is what he gained against others dragging the same bike. it is a very thin needle to thread, but done properly it gives great results. he has also used no elextronic assistance as that would either block him from doing the controlled wheelie and/or loose him the one wheel stability he greatly posseses.
@@backyardhooper06the wheelie helps transfer weight to grip the road. And you have less rolling restriction. MotoGP riders do it all the time. There was a video that explains it. The fastest way to ride a bike is if your front tires are barely touching the ground. It's why MotoGP biked exit corners skimming and doing low wheelies. Physics.
Damn but the sound of that z06 is just insane...
I agree, its awesome. But as an european citizen, I have to admit Im pretty used to that "european" lambo sound. I prefer the american rumble. :-)
Yeah it actually make the gt3 (which has been known for it’s good exhaust sound) tame in comparison
Turbo s does the quarter in 10.1 zo6 10.5 😂
@@user-my4xu4gf1zone word:All-Wheel Drive (and Porsche’s insanely good Launch Control system) Corvette is RWD sir
@@user-my4xu4gf1zAnd yet the Z06 beats the Turbo on a circuit 😂😂
The sound of the Z06 and the Ducati revving out together was absolutely symphonic! So cool! Nicely done guys.
Cammisa + Hagerty = Simple winning combination that I watch every time.
cammisa is enough for me. issimi is underrated
Indeed!
Could not agree more!
My pants are still moist from that.💀😂
Common Hagerty W
The C8 ZO6 deserves an Icons episode. It's engine is a pure gem.
...until they start blowing up at 25k miles due to 'xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxx' or whatever the beancounters made then cheap out on when making them.......yeah....lets WAIT FOR IT!!!!!
SavageGeese probably had the best Z06 video yet and spend a nerdy amount of time on the engine. I loved it.
@@ssnerd583 Weird how the 2020 C8 is not having any issues at 25K and beyond…keep hoping. C8 Z06 is legit, try to hate on it all you want. Try hard
@@ssnerd583 The Corvette has evolved over the years with no major issues I don’t see one coming anytime soon; although rumor has it the 68 vette wipers would sometimes fight.
@@anthonycelano165 I agree. My son has a 2020 C8 Z51 and he has 38,000 miles on it with zero issues. Not sure why people are so upset that GM has produced an affordable high performance car. I can’t afford one but it is way closer to reality than most other cars with this type of performance. My son is on the list for a Z06 but sounds like it will be late 2023 or early 2024 before he gets it. Incredible car and can’t wait to drive it. I drive a 2008 Hyundai Sonata, a lesser known super car made in Korea.
Can we take a moment to think about the Z06 numbers.... To get 670hp from 5.5ltr naturally aspirated engine is INSANE And then to get a warranty and sensible service intervals, that's next level
You can't get 670hp from the Z06 that's at the crank it's about 610-630 to the wheels, the highest dyno was about 625
Imagine 210 hp being that fast...
@@cliftonrblandin3860 I mean they said the engine makes 670hp, not the wheels. Technically they are right
670hp from 5.5l is not that impressive among exotics;what’s impressive is that they managed to make a large displacement flat plane crank v8 reliable
@@annonymously331 what's fuckin impressive is that damn bike
Josh Herrin absolutely DOMINATED the MotoAmerica SuperSport championship this year on the Ducati V2. Super talented rider w/a great career. Was cool to see him on here being a part of this. Undoubtedly the best guy Stateside to represent the Ducati brand.
Not compatible in race Ducati youre still cool standart normal and dominated and Keep solution enjoy savety to the race
Great racer, for sure!
The production value of this video is INSANE. Kudos to the team who put this together. Top notch 👏
This can’t be overstated. Their crew is legitimately the best of the best.
@@shaunketterman2985 yep. Even Takina Inoue approved it.
yes it is! awesome!
Y’all say this every time. We get it
I agree. Masters at their game
I am STUNNED by the control of that motorcyclists launch and control down the drag strip. To be able to pull a MID NINE 1/4 mile run, while controlling a wheelie the first half of the drag is beyond impressive. Best launch and drag I’ve seen on a bike in a long time. But wow that Z06 is fast to keep close
He is a MotoAmerica champion. Like being surprised that Randy can drive a car fast.
I agree with all you've said except for the Z06 staying close, it was bus lengths behind at the end of the 1/4 and the bike was over 20mph faster through the trap, in the 1/4 that is an incredible performance difference between the bike and the car which is about what I expected with a good launch although I thought it would be more like high 9's.
@LeeXRV well, that motorcycle happens to have double the power to weight ratio, but when it comes down to it, the Corvette would win on the track. Motorcycles are pure mechanical grip and acceleration, so low speed corners and long straight are a race bike's bread and butter, while high speed corners and heavy braking corner entries are their kryptonite, yet those are the Vette's advantages. A race track like willow springs would favor the bike, while a track like VIR Full Course, Road Atlanta, and Laguna Seca would favor the vette
Josh could probably go faster if he brought that wheelie down a bit in the beginning
@devonnobles1083 not really, he literally smashed the record time for acceleration on that bike, being even batter than the launch control built into the bike
The cinematography graphics and composition is world class. This is a benchmark in making comparo videos. Well done, gents!
As a Corvette owner with a 20+ year history of Ducatis (and two in the garage currently), thanks for a great video!
*******************YOU ARE SPOT ON CCH*********************
Can you do wheelies?
@@markremy4946 Only on the Ducatis 😆. The Vette's super power is the insanely sticky lateral acceleration and braking, not so much for the wheelies.
@@CCH7540 I always like the Ducati twins, but heard the valve belt needs to be changed often and costs a lot of $$.They are real beauties!I also like Guzzis!
@@markremy4946 The maintenance is definitely more expensive and more important than on a lot of other sportbikes, but I've always worked on my own stuff. I probably wouldn't have had as many Ducs if I didn't do my own work.
Hagerty is the Top Gear of KZhead. The production value in all your videos is INSANE. I replayed the "zoom in past a frozen frame of a Corvette passing a finish line" like 5 times in a row. Amazing work.
I think that's actually the driver driving the car really slow to give it a super slow mo feel 😅
I watch so many videos, so many movies etc but that really made my jaw drop, your comment sums it up. Amazing editing and content.
Yea I love their freeze frames, so cool! Just like an action movie!😆 I love it even more when they actually get out of the car and then reference getting out of a moving car in a comical way. Really adds a nice dramatic touch without being overly dramatic. The jokes are spot-on, grade-A humor too!
Damn that was the sickest motorcycle launch I have ever seen. I get scared on launch if my front wheel comes up more than half a foot, and this man is going full throttle at the practical maximum angle for efficient acceleration. That was amazing. And beautiful audio work. The acceleration sounds and cinematic processing were epic.
that was relatively far from efficient acceleration on the bike. If you want to accelerate the hardest the front wheel is at max 2-3 inches off the ground (take a look at motogp). They kind of put on a show which is all okay because its sick to watch and still proves the point
@@factoryrider9537 maybe what he meant is sickest acceleration on a production bikes, but your poin is spot on
@@afletra It has nothing to do with the type or class of bike. The more wheelie you ride the less acceleration potential you have because you're slowly raising and shifting the CG rearward, which makes it harder to counter-act the forces trying to wheelie the bike until it flips. The maximum potential on ANY motorcycle is with the front wheel just before the point it leaves the ground, or practically, as little air gap as possible under the wheel. He probably could've dropped another few tenths if he had tried a little harder instead of showboating because he knew he would win.
@@nunyabusiness896 "he ever seen", thats the whole point. it's for him, what he have saw
@@afletra You're going to have to try harder if you want me to even understand what you're trying to say there, bud.
The ZO6 and that Ducati are so beautiful and both awesome machines.
Absolutely! I’d take the Ducati all day.
We Americans may have the worst president but we have the Corvette 😊
Trump hadn’t been in office since 2021.
God knows how carwow can make their drag racing looks boring despite the long duration. I want to see more like this.
I got so tired hearing "click up here and there and a popup banner there" I just had to unsub.
they used to just get straight to the point, now half the video is just them talking before even starting the first drag race
That's what hiring a good media team does for you. Carwow puts the emphasis on publishing content more often with less post production. Hagerty went the other direction. Both stand out.
One is a daytime soap opera and the other is Martin Scorsese film.
@@mtnman1984 That is a good point, but I'm pretty sure carwow can make it concise and not too long.
Jason and team, thanks for the top notch automotive content this year! Best editing in the business. Enjoying the Carmudgeon podcast as well!
Thanks for watching, listening, commenting, and enjoying!
Designed by enthusiast my ass... where is the manual Z06 ?!? As is this is an appliance. GM fail. Proper manual option or bust/fail!
The editing in these videos is on a different level. I am LOVING these. It’s like watching an action movie!
2:05 The little sprinkle of water when they rev the engine is such a cool detail! Insane production values as always!
Absolutely incredible. The cinematography alone makes this top tier content. Add Jason… and we have world class content. Well done Hagerty team!
it really is on a different level, that ending shot with the golden hour sunset blew my mind
Designed by enthusiast my ass... where is the manual Z06 ?!? As is this is an appliance. GM fail. Proper manual option or bust/fail!
ahh leave Jason home! I'm free and for that matter dump Randy too, and I'll do yeah a twofer
Incredible video guys! That was some pretty impressive riding by Josh on that Panigale...wasn't expecting it to do a quarter mile in 9.5 sec dear god. Z06 is awesome too. Can't wait for ours to arrive :)
I think the C8 Z06 with the Z07 package ,1LZ trim, and carbon wheels would be the best performance spec, as they weigh 3,510lbs. The 3LZ trim adds almost 100lbs, and at 30% fuel the 3LZ weighs 3,595lbs courtesy of Speed Phenom. 3,670lbs is full fuel
2nd gen Hayabusa were getting into the high 8 second range with stock wheelbase and no turbo or NOS, on a prepped surface.
Jaret, that's awesome you're getting one. I deliver boxes for a living. This house has a new corvette in the driveway. I say to the lady, "Where's the keys?" With a big smile in my face. She rudely replies,"YOU WISH!" I thought, yeah, you didn't earn that car. Your husband did.
@@lifted_above they weren't stock they were stock engine. They had list of mods. They only made 160hp or around that. They were just good to launch because they were so long so didnt wheelie. The 8 sec bikes were . lowered and strapped quick shifter ,has alloy wheel ,has -1 gearing front ,and stock rear has alloy subfame, and an unopened engine still .it was on ms 109 ,
Is corvette still waiting till next year to finish the orders on the Z06 because shortages of parts? Hope you don't have to wait to long
Pretty shre the enzo was last mid engine NA v12 rwd set up for ferrari.. video was awesome. Showed how grest the z06 truly is.. legend
OMG! That wheelie, as he is passing the Vette, gave me chills! TOO COOL 😎
We really are in the golden age and what feels like final days of gasoline powered engine tech.. and boy, what a time to be alive. Both the Z06 and GT3 are pulling absolutely zero punches. Fantastic production as always, chaps.
Z06 smokes the GT3
Yes, with 150ps more than the gt3 😂😂 Take a Porsche 992 Turbo S and the Corvette would look like a snail
@@roboticvenom1935 I’d hope a car with 170 more horsepower and a V8 could beat a 6 banger…
@@kaptnbalu2916 I’m a Porsche fanboy too, but where’s the “Porsche hp” where it smokes the other car with less. The z06 is faster for less money
@Wilmar Alburquerque I'll prefer the corvette over a Porsche everyday but only because I'm American and always loved the vette. We all know a Porsche is still a better car at the end of the day but we're happy to be in the conversation and taking some w's.
Can't wait to see what kind of times Randy Pobst turns with the Z06 at Laguna Seca! Oh, and yes, pulling away from the Z06 while doing a wheelie was absolutely amazing!!!!!
Wow that launch on the Ducati was perfect. I assume he was using the rear brake to balance the wheelie. Some skill!
Congratulations to this video, a great comparison. The Corvette Z06 is absolutely stunning 😍 unbelievable how close it is to the Ducati, phenomenal!
The production value in these Hagerty/Cammissa videos is untouchable... Keep them coming, we're always waiting... 😎👍🏼
Designed by enthusiast my ass... where is the manual Z06 ?!? As is this is an appliance. GM fail. Proper manual option or bust/fail!
@@ko7305 LOL are you insane? You'd kill the motor. That car NEEDS a DCT.
@@spdcrzy +1.. Agreed. .. The 2023 Z06 5.5l V8 requires/needs a DCT..
This is how you make car content. Kudos to Jason, Randy, and team for bringing top quality content to the masses. My regards to the chef!!!
The Z06 is a special breed of car, a true competitor to many European cars that are 2-3x its price
Well lets be honest here American cheapers are only cheaper only.
And these days they even look like European cars, the days when a Corvette looked like a Corvette is behind us.
Love this episode, Camisa and Pobst are awesome to watch... The shows sound design and camera work is awesome. Thanks for the quality shows, keep it up guys 💪🏼
the control of that duc launch was way impressive. I tried being more aggressive launching my s1000rr at the texas mile a couple months ago and it almost suplexed me on the runway. bike launches are way tricky. cool to watch someone like that guy that knows what he's doing!
I use to run a ZX-10 & ZX-11 Kawi, great bikes ... but you definitely gotta respect what you're sitting on. The more I rode, the more brave I got. A day after a close call at 150 or so I sat the bike on a dealership floor with a for sale sign & ordered my first H-D.
@@danielfair4675 i went the other direction. started on HD"s and choppers, then to sport bikes. a big slow HD was perfect for me in my heavy drinking days. i justify the speed with sobriety now. :)
@@danielfair4675 can appreciate the sentiment. Got motorbike licence before my car and rode everything from 250's to chopper to CBR1000s, one day I had a close call with an oncoming truck on a cresting left hand turn ( here in Australia that puts us on the left side of the road ); after that I basically never could ride the same again and subsequently started my journey to being a full time tin-top turkey.
To be fair, Panigale V4s wheelies much less than other same class bikes, I guess, due to counter-rotating crankshaft. You actually can use 1st gear safely:) Still hugely impressive launch, given z06 0-60 was 2.6.
@@take_it_slow_alex wasn't aware of the counter crank in that? yes extremely impressive no matter how you slice it. a bike will still try to climb the rear chain with that much torque.
We can actually watch incredible content like this for free. Unbelievable.
Its almost unfair!
I love it!
Are you that naive?
Shhhhh!!!
5.5L N/A making 670 is unbelievable
GM is making history
They really are
For all of the times that GM has viewed the world from a dark cramped space, delivering undeniable insanity like the C8 Z06 reminds me how good an engineering company they are. This video is proof that sanity is optional to be part of the Corvette team. Except for the late 70s, the Corvette has defined bang for your buck. My C5 has 178,000 miles and still pulls like the day I left the Corvette museum in my first new car, my first Corvette. It always fires up (today after a year in storage) and has never stranded me. It's dancing on pavement when i track it and can hold all of my tools for a job in a pinch. When GM gets it right they define what outstanding engineers can deliver when sanity is optional. It's never a bad day behind the wheel of a Corvette!
The c5 is one of the most underrated sports cars, it's a true gem. And those beautiful headlights im pretty sure it's the last production car ever made within pop up headlights.
Agreed, and this gen's Z06 cemented the term 'Corvette' and changed how people see an 'American sports car'
GM subs out a lot of its performance car engineering work to lotus. It's the Lotus engineers who have been adding the greatness to corvettes in the last 20 years and who knows how much longer.
@@3dw3dw I would recommend you watch the savage geese vid on the C8. GM has world class engineers that could design things Germans and Italians would be furious with envy over, and do it more efficiently. This car is a special testament to what they wanted to do. No one else will offer a vehicle with this kind of performance at this price point.
Your C5 won’t even beat a Tesla Model 3 in acceleration. Yes, that Tesla will start first time, every time.
I've been watching car review videos for over fifteen years and that was hands down the best quality and entertaining video I've ever seen. Great job all around!
Takina Inoue apporved it.
Ist's not the qulity, its the qauntity.
I highly respect and appreciate the creativity and edits in this video. Really makes a simple race video entertaining, engaging and informative. Great video👏🏾
Simply magnificent, CORVETTE
I am never going to get sick of these videos. The visuals, the audio (even with emphasis on the landing of the wheelie!), the vehicles, and the storytelling. Nothing beats it!
Hagerty, I can't tell how awesome and fulfilling it is to see you throwing motorcycles into the mix. A lot of folks still don't understand just how fast some of these bikes are and as a rider myself, I love seeing what they're capable of doing against the world's fastest cars. Your cinematic spin on top of concise and entertaining dialogue just makes all of these uploads movie like.
100% on the mix of bikes/cars. I own the Ducati V4 SP and it's literally a rocket ship. The amount of energy to hold on under full accel is just nuts. The Ducati V4R is even more crazy with 230hp.
Not only does he do an outstanding job controlling that bike but he gets extra style points for the OnlyFans sticker on the helmet
Wait until the ZR1 arrives with turbo and AWD!🔥🔥🔥
It's crazy that despite the performance bargain the corvette is, that if you're willing to put your body on the line, a motorcycle will destroy just about any sports car in a straight line for a 1/3 of the price in this case.
With a rider like that, yes! I'm sure i would loose to that corvette on that bike hahahaha
@@edcunhaph but you'd come damn close for 40 grand, hell, even a base v4 panigale will get you a decent way there for the price of a new economy car
@@edcunhaph I'm a top class motorcycle dragracer and I give a LOT of props to the rider here. Noticed that it is clearly said the runs were WITHOUT electronic aids. A mid 9 second 1/4 mile run on ANY 100% STOCK bike without assist is a feat by itself. That guy can ride.
Except a Tesla Plaid. Chris Moore tried racing a Tesla Plaid on both a 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa and 2021 Kawasaki ZX-14R and lost to both. Of course it was pretty windy that day so it was a little sketchy. Also, why are you comparing the performance of a motorcycle to a passenger vehicle? Kind of pointless. A motorcycle that weighs over 3k lbs less should be able to beat a car. I wouldn't feel bad about any car I owned if I lost to a street bike.
How is that crazy? Its been this way since sportbikes came out. Over 40-years straight of something doesn't make year 41 remotely crazy. Crazy would be the exact opposite.
I love Randy... I wish we could see more of him
You can but it costs money...
More of him, or more of his reporting? 🤭
The ZR1 is going to be insane!
Bruh it's front engined
@@angeleenasworld7194 no it’s not.

The best car enthusiasts KZhead channel ever!!! 🔥🔥🔥
This is probably one of my favourite videos related to cars, ever. The Cinematics, the pacing, the sound design, everything is just perfect. Props to the entire Hagerty team for making these videos, and I'll be looking forward to that coming video with the Sapphire and the Chiron Pur Sport ;)
Josh Herrin is a beast on the track. So happy for his recent and well deserved success. Plus he makes an awesome 2-wheeled Stig. Keep up the killer vids boys!
Yep, when Jason said "This thing" I immediately got Stig vibes
Damn great stuff you are pushing out! Great pick of cars and great video work! Thank you
Love the new Corvette🇺🇸
That ZO6 deserves a Revelation episode.
Look to that ZO6, Imagine what ZR1 would be 🏁😍
And the Golden Globe Award goes to this video. I need some time alone to hug my Ducati! Awesome guys!
cant wait to slap a supercharger on that z06
The coming ZR-1 will be the same car & engine with Twin-Turbos.
Dang I love Cammisa. The highest praise I can possibly give; these videos are the ONLY car content I can watch with my wife in the room without her getting annoyed and asking me to change it
I still cant get over how cool the end of the race is when the cars just stop then get filmed slowly rolling! Such great production!
Agreed!!!
I love the editing… great info, great shots… thank you guys.
I knew the Z06 was fast but that was jaw dropping. But...never underestimate a superbike, especially the mind-bending Ducati Panigale. Great race!!
Simply the best drag race breakdown videos out there. Awesome stuff!
Just found this channel, I’m really impressed with the production quality and information of your vids. As a bike guy primarily (I love all things fast really), yay for including Josh Herrin, he is a stud.
Love you guys. Love your Throttle House colabs. Can’t wait to see Randy track the Z06.
Agree 100%! 👍
Agreed. Top 2 car channels for myself as well.
I giggled mischievously with Jason at the ending scene, genuinely looking forward to the next drag race.
Looks like a Lucid Sapphire in our collective viewing future...
So beings this is a naturally aspirated race, he's going to have to LS-swap a Lucid.
My god x2. 1.) the production quality here rivals professional Hollywood studios; 2.) JFC on a pogo stick, GM engineered a miracle with that Z06 package!!
Finally. Actual apples to apples comparison. No electric all-wheel drive vs. petrol powered rear while drive "tests." This is excellent material.
I love that only fans sponsors Josh 😂 Great riding as usual from him.
🤣🤣 only fans and riding...you know
Lol I didn't even see that. That's pretty hilarious.
Hilarious 😂
Timestamp pls, i still couldn't find
@@guycha0s380 It's on the front of his helmet
As a long-time Chevrolet and Corvette fanboy, even I underestimated what this car was going to deliver, WOW!!!
It’s criminal to call this a Corvette because it’s mid/engine and it is the best Corvette they’ve ever made.
Still has yo go against its benchmark. The GT2RS. It beats that I'm impressed, but so far it's doing what it should for its range.
The LT6 is underrated. Chassis Dyno testing has shown 640 at the rear wheels. This engine is putting out well over 700 at the flywheel. The 6.2 LS is underrated in the regular C8 as well.
@@JoeOvercoat not like the father of the Corvette had the CERV cars or originally intended for it to be mid engined to begin with
@@ricky3698 And I don’t think he would find my argument that this incarnation should clearly be the ‘Frigate’ convincing. 🤔
This is award winning production!
That zo6 is fast man damn
Perfection on the production value...perfect timing, humor, info, humor, and graphics. top tier! And as a corvette lover I am so proud right now!
Right
Top tier stuff. Gotta love how a fast bike's straight line performance is so dictated by rider skill. Kinda the opposite of Porsche launch control. C8 Z06 continues to amaze.
This video literally gave me chills with how amazingly this was executed, keep up with the amazing production🙌🏽😮💨
i love how they kept the z06 NA. even though its extremely powerful that isnt everything and they could have easily cheated with fi, but they want to replicate the brilliant ferrari 458. need more of this from car companies thats understand what drivers actually want.
Corvette series the last 10 years really become one of greats
Excellent video yet again! C8 Z06 and V4 SP are amazing machines!
Killer content! Keep up the awesome videos and collaborations!!
That corvette is badass!! ❤
Alright, let's see the footage of Randy running laps in the Z06
I raced a C8 off the line with a Honda 1000rr. I was pretty impressed how hard it could launch and put all the power down without wheel slip. He had the lead up to about 70 before I quickly passed but I was working to come back around him.
Respect! That's pretty amazing give a bone stock Stingray. The Z06 hanged with the Ducati for the first bit off the launch. Pretty impressive!
He would have probably reeled you in on the top end tho if you had enough road left 😅. But I dunno what you got in that bike 👀
@@zethloveless7238 it would have been a looooong time if the C8 could. Liter bikes get to top speed far faster than cars do.
It's awesome to see such a wonderful machine come out of America again.
I'm a jdm guy but would definitely buy that zo6
Goosebumps at 7:37 😲💥 when the ducati got wheelie. I was just shocked how the Z06 shoots out like no others💥
Lmao the porsche turbo s shoots out way faster. 10.1 quarter mile vs 10.5
This series is the best, please never let it die. Jason and Randy FTW!
You all make the best automotive comparisons! Your videos are top notch!
Thank you for this !! Appreciate this next level test! The bikes squeeze front is so funny 😂😂😂
A Z06 full review from Cammisa would be amazing!

Car wow and Bike World are more entertaining!
The new ZO6 is very impressively fast, but tbh the Porsche GT3 is equally as impressive even coming in 2nd
Do you know what the price difference is between the two? I heard the GT3 may start in the 2's?
Agreed. Amazing how well a 6 cylinder can hang with bigger engines like that
@@outlawcry12222 it’d be more impressive if it didn’t cost so much more
@@mogulme6190 at this point the new z06s are right up there in price anyway. All those markups have them basically in the same price bracket 😆. $200k for a z06 vs a slight bit more for the Porsche, I’d rather pick up the Porsche for that price. Now if Chevy can control those prices, I’d agree with you lol
@@outlawcry12222 they’re asking 300k plus for a GT3 some coming in at 350k
Best vid all year! Can't be beat. I used to race bikes, and now I do car track days so this is PERFECT!!!!!!!
Watching this was so much fun, the effects and videography was mind blowing like a movie. Nicely done Hagerty
Josh Herrin showing them how it’s done🔥🔥🔥
I love the editing of your episodes, the necessary talking to set up the event is quick and you don’t make me wait forever and force me to watch unnecessary humor! In this episode we all knew the Duck was going to squawk the loudest and you brilliantly stretched the episode to two races! Wonderful! And yes I Liked and Subscribed! Keep up the excellence🔥
I grew up in a corvette family, so i get all "America"! Whenever i see it kick ass.
Honestly this makes me wonder how much more the ZR1's performance would bring given what it's supposed to have under boot. We know what the E-Ray is now touting, what else is in store from GM? And let's not forgetting the rumoured Zora, the pinnacle.
Zora will be veyron or more straight line performance, wouldnt surprise me, ZR1 i think will be E-ray and Z06 combined with a lil more....maybe 🤷♂️
ZR1 - a Z06 but with twin turbos. Zora - TTV8 AWD with E-Ray hybrid system Zora is assumed to make around 1100hp
I believe the C8 will be the last gas powered corvette ever and that is why this car is a MUST to get ahold of, I've already been to my local about the ZR1 date of release. This car is legendary.
Super surprised the bike did so well. Yes the power to weight ratio is insane but it takes balls of steel to get one off the line that quickly.
