How many other 600+ hp cars don’t do 200mph and can run on track turning 8600rpm in the heat w/o cooling issues?

Handicapped, yet is still the overall fastest car under $300k. Let's stay realistic despite our idealized wish list.

Default VIDEO: How to beat a Ford GT in your C8 Z06

I don't mind this video ruffling feathers😅. I do love the Ford GT, I just needed to have some fun. Firstly I want to say thank you to the fellow who agreed to race me. Not everyone is willing to race a $1 million car against a future $1 million car 😉. We all know the Ford GT has had the C8 Z06 number in every other video we've all seen online, but this time I knew what the perfect combo would be to race against one, and do what no other C8 Z06 has done to date. This was a full 1/4 mi run on a dusty airstrip!

Another awesome video jesse!

How many miles you have on the car now? Any issues? Please be honest as us owners want to see how these cars hold up, especially with the type of work you're putting the car through.

As always nice work Jesse. I think the best part about your videos is you not only that you use the car as it was made to be used but you have FUN doing so and you don't take yourself to seriously! Makes your videos highly entertaining as well as educational.

I highly suggest when you do the oil changes each time, also do the DCT filter changes as well. The dealership will tell you different, but trust me on this. Oil change and DCT filter change every 5000 miles.

Great video and even better kill. Would be great to get a YouTuber showdown.
have all YouTubers with C8s/Z06 meet up neutral grounds for some qtr mile racing. And of course have Wfarmerz at this event.
