Just a guy who makes an honest living enjoying his car. Love the car and kudos to him for driving it and not hard parking it. It’s always funny seeing people pass judgement on people they don’t even know.

A little burnout on wet pavement isn’t going to hurt anything.

By next week he’ll be trying to do top speed attempts.

Had my '16 Z51 to redline before it had 30 miles on it, strong runner, doesn't burn a drop of oil.

Yea I agree let him be! I actually enjoy what he’s doing because he does the beating on the car for me then I can see for myself if the upgrade is worth it or not vs watching some biased reviewer.

The engine is good to go right off the bat. I would't hesitate doing a mile run right off the showroom floor in one.

Last year, this kid was making >$18k per month from ad revenue on YouTube.

His channel has >650k subscribers.

Pretty incredible stuff that makes me wonder if I should give it a try.

If you listen to his videos, he's actually a pretty smart, articulate, and interestingly conservative person.

Good for him for making that kind of money so young!

Engine may be good to go but how about the diff? Or trans? His car. His choice. I like the kid. Met him at Carlisle told him how much I appreciated his respect toward law enforcement in his videos. Takes responsibility for his actions. Hopefully he matures a bit.

Ps. What he did to the car was barely raising it's pulse. Outside of premature wear on some bearings and CCBs here or there.

Should be interesting next couple of months.

I liked it.

What's wrong with a rich kid using his ZR1 the way it was meant to?

The rest of the car isn't, though. But, as others have said: it's his car, he can do what he likes with it. Were I in the used market, I'd avoid his cars like the plague though.

With modern materials, oil and tolerances it's a lot safer than it used to be. The worst thing you can do to a new engine is lug it.
