[VIDEO] 2019 Corvette ZR1 Proves Its Still King Against the 2023 Z06


To be honest, I was rooting for the ZR1. The King isn’t yesterday’s news just yet.

Justin from Horsepower Obsessed drove his Black 2019 Corvette ZR1 over to StreetSpeed 717s place to check out the new C8 Z06 with the straight pipe exhaust. Once again, the new exhaust note is just unbelievably loud as we see Justin doing the cold start on the Z06 from StreetSpeed’s garage. You can barely hear the ZR1’s own start-up from the cockpit with that Z06 rumbling next to it.

The two YouTubers do several highway pulls against each other. Justin was getting some tire slip, but once he got the ZR1 dialed in, the Kings’ greater horsepower overcame the Z06’s weight bias on the rear wheel tires to take the winner more times than not. That’s not to say the Z06 was spanked. Far from it, anytime that Justin lagged on the start, the Z06 got out in front and would nearly stay there.

  1. Please do not post stories from streetspeed 717, no one wants to be subject to anything he says or does.

  2. The goofy guy with sunglasses spent thousands on a custom exhaust that only added maybe 20 hp. Spend that kind of money for headers, high flow cats, and less restrictive mufflers would yield a lot more HP on the ZR1. Warmer day would have allowed the ZR1 to put more power to the ground and I am confident that Justin would have spanked the good ball. Mr Sunglasses should go back to Ukraine where he can be more productive in life.

  3. Good race for the 2019 .
    I have the Z06 .
    Its plenty for me that I can handle Nice race Justin
