Default First Z06 Delivery Video

I know not everyone is a fan, but Austin is a good kid and a true enthusiast… happy for him. Here’s an almost hour long video of his Z06 NCM delivery that took place yesterday. Looking forward to his future adventures with the car.

3:40. It's worth watching. Goes over fob functions and other things. He's basically documenting a museum delivery. Something not everyone experiences (and a C8 Z06 nonetheless).

Still watching, very thorough delivery video. But yes, I believe you are correct.

#MeToo. Looking forward to videos of his drive home and what he plans to do along the way… and of course the track videos once he gets home.

I know he mentioned possibly getting a trailer and taking the Z06 to tracks all around the country. Should be fun to vicariously live through while most of us wait

It was cool to go through all the setup options with Stacey. Good (but very long) video.

Why does this car have 351 miles on it???? I thought a Museum delivery would be a brand new car with zero miles.

Just noticed after watching the entire video it has 7 miles and the 351 was the range.

I’m a fan. What other 22 year old has a C8Z?

I generally don't watch Youtube at all, unless I need to fix something, but I do like this kid. I will say, he knew & alluded to the Z06 pricing in instagram posts well in advance. I even disagreed with him, but he was pretty certain his spec was going to cost pretty much exactly what it came out to.

Love this video.....having the younger folks get interested in Corvettes is really great. I'd LOVE to have a job like Stacy's. What a fun job that would be delivering life long dreams to folks every day.

I believe that's the miles to empty indicator, hence why it goes down during the time that he has the car idling.

Because he’s burning fuel sitting there and reducing the amount of miles he can go.

He is one of the only YouTubers who will actually take the car to the track.
