3 Z06ZR1

Was thinking of a 2019 Z06 but will want to get it tuned if I do!
Thanks in advance!

I think it has no changes from the 2018 as far as ECM is concerned and is tune-able. I do think the 2018 and 2019 cost a bit more to tune though, because of a change to the ECM from the earlier models.

Thanks pondering to buy a 2019 but if you can't tune it I would rethink the move.

Good bye Warranty

17 and up cost more. The 19 should be the same as the 18, which we can tune. But the ZR1 we can't get into yet.

Not really just depends on what you need done. I have had blower kits on 4 Corvette's and no work was was ever denied. But I didn't take a blown engine in. Working the interior or on a headlight they don't care
about the supercharger.

Wait, dont you already own 2 C7 Z06's? Why would you want a third of the exact same car? You starting a rental company or gonna Turo them?

To each his own but, why would you want to buy yet another of the exact same car you already own?

That's what I was thinking. I would change it up and maybe add a restored muscle car to the mix.

The manual Corvette is going away. The C7 Z06 is finest example yet! Thinking of upgrading to a new 2019 manual and selling the 2015 manual. There is really no sports car or any car in that price range that compares PERIOD! Then I can add easy mods like my 2015.. Stupid fast. ZR1 plus power and lighter!

Warp Factor

How is the 2019 an upgrade from the 2015? The extra radiator?

^^^ The brag factor.

Well for one thing you get a brand new car. My 2015 is fine but has 32k and was repainted on GM's dime. The cooling is not a factor still deciding. The interest is the fueling I heard has been upgraded. 2019
ZR1 and Z06 carry the same fuel system. Thus I think why Weapon X is getting more power on stock tune and fueling. I know only the ZR1 has the port injection and direct. The 2019 Z06 may do better with the same mods. I could just get a repaint on my dime and call it good.

Not much cost to up grade the cheapest Z06 still is 55k and the new one is discounted to 74k so less than 20k gets me the new one.
4 model years newer lots of better tech.
Color choice is a bite I love the silver but thinking of the freaky orange.


I would swap all my current mods to the new one. New parts back to the 2015 even the seats I want to keep my comps. I might do better than I think IMO No warranty worry on the M7.

The only worry is slight when I tune the A8.

The mods make the car alive with 800hp (675 rwhp) Light weight stupid fast!

I see a 3 Corvette line up! 2019 Z06 M7, 2017 A8 both with my 2300 builds and then add the new ME. Done!

But for the price of 3 Z06s, you could have a REAL supercar! .....runaway!lol

OnPoint

So you're gonna get rid a '15 Z06 M7 modded the way you like in the color you like, to get a '19 Z06 M7 and put the same mods on it?

Unless you're wanting to change color, seems like a waste of time and coin - but heck, it's your bucks, so do what flips your skirt.

As to the tune, has your tuner done a '19? They've been out for a while. Wouldn't be surprised if he's already seen/tuned one.

Rather have the 3 Corvette's which I will be keeping two till the ME shows then the HP model that will another year plus. The term Supercar is all relative! I'm in Oregon and Nebraska not LA!

Rdubfalco

Does this mean the 2019 Z06 is both port injection and DI? Also, what other upgrades have you heard of? i.e.. better clutch/diff transaxle?

Thanks

The costs are cheaper on the Corvette and still get the super car.

Insurance was about 1300 for 2 Z06's 12 months Pretty super!
I may change colors. The 2019 is 4 model years newer and an improved car and If I can do it for 20k it would be not bad.
Not sure on the tuner on the 2019's. Lots of flexibility, Since I'm swapping blower and exhaust.
My 2015 will going with a upgraded 2017 blower and exhaust, 2019 seats and new 2019 wheels and tires. Should sell easy.
Not sure on everything new but the engine is still just DI but better fuel I heard.

FYREANT

Im not sure what you “heard” but thats completely wrong. The ZR1 high pressure fuel pump, and injectors are the exact same as the LT4. The ZR1 has a low pressure fuel pump that is improved flow over the Z06 but that is ONLY on the ZR1. The ZR1 is indeed the only C7 that gets port injection.

So, in short, there are NO upgrades to the Z06 fuel system since its release in 2015.

Only upgrades the Z06 will see in 2019 vs 2018 and prior is a different tooth pattern for the rear diff which will make it stronger and different rear upper control arms for the M7. Thats it.

Here is the article where I asked Tadge about it and he confirmed the low side upgrade for the ZR1: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...sed-power.html

What I heard was right according to you except the low side fuel upgrade on the ZR1.
So not quite completely wrong. Plus read what Tadge said again "we had to add fuel capacity for the Lt5".
Didn't say the Z06 didn't get the upgrade. Your saying the 2019 ZR1 and Z06 carry different low side fuel pumps? Not real sure on that yet I maybe wrong but I think I heard different and sent the question back to my sources. I already have some more questions. There are numerous other changes.
in the cars as well. Besides what you mentioned from the 2015 to 2019. Its an improved car they don't get worse on the same model.
SUPER GOOD NEWS!
My dealer tech says your wrong SAME low side in the tank pumps FUEL PUMPS 2019 ZR1 and Z06 same part number!
Which means very good for me and 2300 build. 675rwhp where I'm at should move considerably higher!
