I love how excited he gets every time he is understood. He'll be more fluent than most Americans in no time at all.

you can just hear the passions behind his words, cant help but smile :)

​@@Mawdingthe spoken language maybe different but the language of cars is universal

@mawding , exactly ! We let the car’s do the talking .👌🏻

I love the way He speaks. the italianness in his voice. If you would only here him speak you would expext him to talk about an 70ies Alfa Romeo

I was thinking the same

The owner's voice tone is close to Misha, I almost thought Misha was talking to himself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got to give to them Italians

The only part he flinched was when Misa rev'd it up to 7500😂

because Italian

Proper break-in for Italians

@@carsonw722I saw that too hahaha I think Misha as well in peripheral cuz he didnt shift that high after

Very impressive as I own a 2nd generation mini and that has a fancy engine design with dohc, variable valve timing etc and redlines at 6500/7000max while this beast can push to the same numbers, definitely very enjoyable, I wouldn't enjoy a V8 that could only rev to 5k as it would pull for a bit and then you are already at Redline and have to change up while this has another 2k to go 😂👌

⁠@@squeakers275k? Any LS motor can rev to 6.. and pull from 3k up.

Stroke determines rev limit, not any of that

​@@2seeppush rods definitely don't help.. lol

@@mikehunt3987perhaps, but destroked 6.2 and 5.7 variants have hit 9k without massive overhauls. NASCAR engines do it for the duration of the race. Point being that you can make a OHV engine rev if that’s what you want.

😂🤣 That's hilarious!

bruh :D you just mammad your last mia

This is not a Rob Ferretti video lol

He was mozzarella

Can you blame him?

True the amount of people that have died because their aftermarket floor mat has slid under the brake pedal is surprising. I even saw a video a child threw a toy from the back seat and it lodged under the pedal. Was in the old live leak days It still bothers me.

@@tbrowniscoolplease link it

​@@Juuythljgrrdwqlive leak doesnt exist anymore

@@Juuythljgrrdwq it's was a grainy china/jap video about 10 years ago. LiveLeak has shut down now. It's was so fast, kid throws toy at mum, toy goes under brake pedal, mum realises and tries to brake, mum tries to lean forward to remove obstruction. All crash a highway speed. Scary

@@tbrowniscool I've had a situation maybe 6 years ago when bottle of water slid from under seat blocking clutch and brake. I realized on red light but stopped on crossing with handbrake. If there was a pedestrian I definetly would hit him. I had my licence for couple months and my awerness was bad af Since then I NEVER put anything on the floor, even behind seats.

Ah yes, leafsprings is what I meant!

Camaro is solid axle. C6 is transverse leaf which, with a decent set of shocks (Pedders) is still very good IMO!@@mgcharoudin

@@beaugator Until 2002 only, after that the Camaro doesn't have solid axles either.

Double wishbone like a 458.. or like a Miata 😉

A lot of vette folks get the QA1 adjustable coilovers that replace the transverse monosprings

Thanks man, as italian I appreciate that

As an Italian, most old italian cars sadly are good until you actually own or try to drive one, compared to other European brands materials are low quality and the interiors start to deteriorate prematurely, alfa in particular was constantly trying to do better in a worse way for example by putting the rear brakes on the differential like on the 75 (causing them to not work when it was wet cause water would constantly splash on them), by positioning the engine forward to the front axle (like the 33, this kinda improves the grip but when it rains the car becomes terrible and I'm talking about cruising in the city and not racing on a track), also Italian cars transmissions and shifter were generally terrible with extremely long travels or premature wear on some cars (like the 33...) Also there have been years when the cars were poorly made due to constant strikes in the assembly lines, my grandfather ritmo for example was missing a piston ring, lancia delta 836 steering boxes would unbolt themselves. Overall I agree with what u said, Italian cars are indeed unique but trust me you'd prefer a car that doesn't understeer in a big roundabout at 40km/h just because it has been terribly made.

nice detail you noticed about the TCS light -- guess chevy wasn't 100% cheap everywhere haha. I believe the base models of C5 and C6 have that too, not just the Z06 / ZR1

@@oConshienyou are correct. My C5 has the back end of the car as the TCS button and light.

4th gear, you can see his arm movements during the 2→3 and 3→4

we have a relatively small circuit where I live, C6 Z06 owners use 3rd gear only!

The c6 z06 is a one of kind car. It literally pulls hard in every gear. 3rd pulls hard and 4th just keeps going and its like wtf. 3rd to 4th is 120mph - 160mph.

I jest ich coraz więcej na szczęście

@@Goczku I believe it. Warsaw is booming. Every time I go back, there are new buildings, new restaurants, etc. wonderful city for car spotting too.

@@AP-op4rc indeed bro we have a really sad war story but from day to another we are stronger

This brought great imagery to me, envisioning the Polish maniac waiting for his Vette.

@@chickenfishhybrid44 We have really like USA cars 👌😁 this is something more than UE shit with ecological limitations

100%. Doing that on my z06 currently. Lot of potential, everyone spends money on a heads, cam, header package when it should be going into coilovers, seats, and cooling

If the car is stock power (or just like headers), then cooling is not a problem. I used to track c6z06 at the ring, i only had headers and never had cooling issues. Clutch issue is another problem, u have to flush the clutch fluid frequently, it gets dirty quick and causes sticky clutch. The big item c6z06 needs at the ring is coilovers and gt3 aero. There used to a guy there (Dennis), who tracked one with gt3 aero, coilovers, semi slicks, stock power levels and he did 7:05 btg.

@@sleserginekolog1 good to know . What oil temps did you normally see around the ring

@@ivanvujosevic289 shit man, that was 10 years ago…. Around 225/230f oil by the end of the lap. Normal is like 212f.

Blue C6 Z06 here. That tunnel gets hot as shit so I’m not surprised Misha was a bit worried. Hope to see him take one out again in the future.

I was here for that comment. Don't these have a transaxle anyways?

@@BOB24502 yes, they’re transaxle

@@SelimxBradleyThat's what I thought. I saw in another comment Misha replied to and said he meant to say leaf springs instead of solid axle.

@@BOB24502Transaxle variant of the more modern, popular Tremec TR-6060 manual trans.

It doesn't overheat if you push it the american way, 400m by 400m

this car was NEVER intended to be a drag race car. NEVER.@@Kamui..

I didn't told that. @@ssnerd583

Having a personality isn’t a bad thing

Making a fuss for more clicks? I think they are just being themselves.

I had a build C4 and it used to burn my heel it would get so hot

Must have a serious cam in there

@@mitchellsteindler Surprisingly not. LS7s that "only" make 600 hp have what in the US would be considered a small cam. Also, the air intake manifold, headers, intake piping, and exhaust allone were probably worth 60 hp as well. Big cam LS7 cars are north of 700 hp but those are a lot more difficult to drive legally in Europe (not sure about Italy, but I assume it is similar to Germany and Austria where we can only get away with small cams when passing the emissions tests).

Yes. With those modes he needs to ceramic coat or wrap the headers and X-Pipe

@@big-Rconsider the chopping and msd intake and intake, I think he makes at least 550 on the wheel. I assume he has ported heads and high flow header, I think it is very possible he sits at 600 wheel. But most intake on the market will suck away air that should go into the radiator.

Vettes all have overheating issues, most guys in the states just add a small methanol injection kit to keep IATs down on the track, idk how easy it is to get methanol overseas though. Fenders with heat extractors and hood vents help a lot too to get stale air out. Better placement of the trans and oil cooler are also a must on the C5 and C6 imo, upgrading while you're at it is worth every penny.

It was painful to watch! To many needless gear changes like it was a Honda. He only needed 3rd and 4th for the most part, changing into 1st gear at times made no sense at all.

@@WeirdBrick that's because that gearbox has has so long ratios that you need to get used to it. Annoying af especially on track. On higher gears it just wouldn't go like you'd expect it

The torque curve for modified cam profile might not match the gear box.

One thing you need to know about American cars is that you have to drive them like you stole them.

@@WeirdBrickWith those tall gears he probably needed second at times too but I was thinking the same, way too much torque to need to shift like a little 4 banger requires. But being new to it I don’t blame him and with how hot it seemed in the cabin maybe it was just hard to think/focus

thnx!

@@mgcharoudin Was the exhaust back to the rear axle ceramic coated ?

The car was modded in various ways. Who knows how well the parts selection and tuning was done. I suspect that plastic cover coming down may have had something to do with some of the work at some point.

ah but that LS7 with its titanium rods... a work of art in chevy terms:) but i agree... forced induction even the zr1 went with your block i think. probably thicker cylinder liners improving rigidity or thats my guess

Weight difference? The block is the same architecture they weight almost identical it’s a 6.2 VS 7.0 but the block is same architecture

ZO6 LS7 engine would weigh the same or less than an LS3 and the Z06 is aluminium chassis which is 50kg lighter than the Grand Sport steel frame. There are pro's and con's of each model but the Z06 wins hands down on the weight front.

I think stock c6 z06 z07 could perform better .

Took them way too many generations to sort it out. The c6 needs so much work to be track worthy.

@@Syncopia Really all it needs are tires and some coils, with the stock setup overheating isn't generally an issue like this, although a cooler wouldn't be wasted

Pls reach out to me when it happens!

a little bit :D

Sounds about right haha

It’s a shame Misha didn’t ride that torque low down, instead he drove it like a Honda changing gear about 3 times more than he needed to! Bizarre as he’s usually right on it!

Nah man If he only drives cars with oil coolers = serious track cars only = less fun and variety "Shitboxes" are often the most fun to watch

@@enfantterrible4868 How an oil cooler makes it less fun? It's just a mod to keep the car reliable. Lots of factory cars have them.

And why most people dont care.. did you not see the video? They tried twice to complete a single lap.. 😮😢

@@sub7up. More like bad luck twice (plastic piece and gopro), and insufficient cooling for a modified car.

@@sub7up. lol exactly 🤣👍

@@sub7up. Stop hating, america and europe both make amazing cars for the track. To say otherwise just shows a lack of knowledge.

@@metasaurus3233 Yeah.. Thats why 95% of the cars at the ring is German or Japanese and 5% is italien and american cars...

Depends! When braking and turning at the same time, it makes the car understeer. Or completely go straight. You don't want that... Especially not there!

@@mgcharoudin Also true. I had some moments with my Jazz (that you droven when it was still stock earlier this year) were people wanted to pass me Into corners, but Just stayed beside me way to long, so my car just got way to unstable because i had to reduce my speed way to much in corner.

Goals

These things actually get better fuel economy than most other performace cars. Even with like 200hp less (at least when it comes to freeway crusing in 6th gear)

you can still buy new american sportscars with v8's and manual...
