C5 Corvette Z06, The Best Car You Will EVER Buy. 

Glad you liked it! C5 Z on top!

You obviously haven’t owned a turbo M3 or Mark IV Supra so your opinion is not worth anything

Supra kid

e55 better

​@@sebastianromero420zo6 is better

I could not be happier with the way it sounds 🤤

Corn field is the most recent z06 video intro

Flip flops brings some seriously weird vibes.

"Had" a Z16. Never sell a Z16. Mine has 45,000 miles and I will never sell it!

That's awesome!

Yup.... don't disagree at all. The new fast cars lack character making one's like this more desirable.

I will most definitely need to do that when I do a clutch in mine

Love to hear it🔥

I was exaggerating but they did build a quarter of a million. 248k

The C6 is worth the extra money as well.

Got rid of my C6Z and found an 03 C5Z with 8K miles on it. I eventually put C8 GT2 seats in it, a C7 shifter, took out the front spring pads & bolts and put in longer rear bolts. Ended up having to build a custom air lift system for it though, as it was way too low to drive anywhere real. It sits super low [still on the stock springs], but I can go anywhere with it now. More fun and more reliable than the C6Z. My [new at the time] C6Z constantly wanted to jump into the nearest ditch ass first, plus even after multiple tries at different alignment settings, it still tram-lined and was generally a PITA to drive. It would never go into 2nd past about 5K RPM, and the dealer refused to fix it. Then it ate the cam which took 3 months to get repaired. I decided to get rid of it before it dropped a valve, since they refused to check the guides and springs while it was apart. Apparently that wasn't part of the warranty procedure. Perfect. Thanks a lot.

Same!!!😂 2000 WS6 and 2003 Z06

Time to get out and drive it!

i just picked one up with 24k and 450whp H/C...my dream car fall in love every...single...time i drive it!❤

I had a similar issue where the clutch pedal would drop to the floor when I raced it , normal driving it was fine , I bled it and it didn’t help , new master cylinder and that didn’t help either. the problem isn’t the clutch but it is the slave cylinder failing . There nothing you can except replace the slave cylinder and of course replacing the clutch just because it’s all in the same location.

@@joeanthonyreyna5357 I’ve been doing the Ranger method for the last week or so and trying to drive the car hard and replace the clutch fluid with fresh after each drive. It seems to have almost completely fixed my clutch issue. The bite point is far less vague and it doesn’t go to mush after any hard shifts. Fingers crossed!

@@benbattista5035 yeah I was doing that too , had the same hopes lol I look at like this those were just band aids for the real problem which is the slave , happened on my 01 fbody and my 04 z06 same clutch setups. But good luck I hope it works out for you and it’s that easy of a fix.

Katech makes a bleeder you can install without dropping the torque tube but you do need to pull the headers...

@@DirtDude117really? Do you have any experience with installing it? If so, How was it?

C5 z06 would be my choice. Such a raw driving experience.

c5 z06. I've had them all

Same 🤟🏼

It sure is an amazing car, can’t wait to drive my again soon!

Me too! Will be out of winter hibernation soon! Enjoy! @@PerformanceOnWheels

Thank you!

The best dope is pure white.

sorry for your loss 😢

Nailed it. Been waiting for you for years.

There all dirty since it’s what I wear when I work on it🥲

Nope, just headers and full exhaust

I suppose the dig race clips I have must be fake hellcats than

@@PerformanceOnWheels no, from a dig, it's possible depending on the tires on the hellcat and the driver...that doesn't make the C5 an objectively "as fast" car ... a hellcat is doing high 11's low 12's at 125+ easily on street tires... its going to be trapping atleast 10 mph faster than a C5 Z, that is a huge difference. C5 Z average driver on street tire is doing mid to upper 12's @ 114-116...go to a track and a lot of people are doing upper 12's. I'm a C5 Z owner

@@PerformanceOnWheels power to weight ratio is about 25% better in the hellcat as well.

I’ve had the opportunity to race 3 from a dig and each opportunity I’ve had I’ve beat them until about half way down the strip. In this video there’s a clip of me going up against a redeye super stock with the slicks on the back. As you can see that one was a 1/8 mile and I had him until right at the finish. The main issue is putting the power down is a lot easier to do in the corvette than a hellcat.

Super misleading comparing a quarter of a million dollar car to a $25k one

@@PerformanceOnWheels should have named it best car you will ever buy under $25k even then probably a lot of other options that would do as good or better. Misleading title if you didn’t want compare it to all cars then but I get what you’re saying lol.

Looks like its a mix of both actually. The Z06 tops out at 173mph at redline in 5th gear, the coupe has taller gearing in the tranny and can hit 180mph or so. The coupe also does have a better CD due to the fastback rear glass. The better aero is why the C5R uses the fastback rear glass and not the Z06 notchback body style

Base model C6's are tacky af though

Problem is then you don’t have that free revving fire breathing LS6 soul! I drove an LS3 and knew it wasn’t for me. Glad I tried a Z, keeping her 👍

It’s got quite a few different things over that, but it is not a completely different motor no. I personally prefer the LS6 over the LS2 but enjoy the LS3 more than the LS6

@@PerformanceOnWheels I have a 5th gen LS3 camaro. I havnt driven a c5 yet. I am sure the weight differences are quite evident. Mine is modded w heads, cam and make decent power, but heavy.. LS3 c6 would be the preference, but a bit high priced at the moment

There’s definitely a huge price gap between ls3 and ls2 c6s… I’ve driven them all. I would stick with the C5 z06 over the c6. The c6s that are better imo are the LS3 GS and the Z06/ZR1. I don’t enjoy the base C6 with either motor over the C5z. I’m in the middle of putting a big cam in mine now

That’s how I feel about the c5 coupe :/

@@PerformanceOnWheels So you hate all of the C6's and C7's? lmao they went with that style cause its far better looking. Notice how the C5 Z06 hardtop coupe was the only corvette to ever have that body style lol. Cause it's atrocious lol

@ImJustCreepin I believe the c5 coupes lines never looked right to me. The other generations looked proportioned better in my opinion. The hatch looks to big in a lot of angles on the c5 in my eyes. They never did that design again because they figured out how to add more rigidity to the hatch like design. While still being light with the large piece of glass

@@PerformanceOnWheels I can kind of see where you're coming from. To each their own I guess!

Yea I feel the opposite the C5 Z06 looks the best to me.

Huh?

Road obviously ends

A C5 will not touch 200 mph without a massive amount of power added, like 200 hp. I did 170 mph multiple times in my Z06 and it took a while to get there.

@@Carguylogan idk what to tell you but i know iv had mine over 200. as i said in the other comment i cant tell if its modded but i personally have been well over 200 MPH in my C5. was coming back from a corvette event had open road in front of me and put the hammer down had about 50 mils of open road. the base C5 will do 200+, once you hit 200 the HUD will go from 199 to 00 and start counting up the needle pegs. these cars are faster then people think just b/c GM said they cant and put a 200mph cluster in. as someone who actually drives my corvette as a daily driver they do more then people think including what the stupid number say they will do, i regularly get between 28 and 33 MPG too not 19 to 24.

Lol

After he buys his c5 Z06 and spends $20k for it all he needs is another $10k and he's most definitely smoking both your Porsche and your Lamborghini

@@raulsanchezjr4048 Yes, of course. And when will it break down? 20 miles down the road?!! How about build quality or fit and finish?!! I want GM to succeed as much as all you Corvette fans but until they step up their game and build a quality car at world class level, you guys and just dream about owning a Porsche or a Lambo! Porsche and Audi (the owner of Lamborghini) both have significant championships in the LMP class in the 24 hrs of Le Mans. If you think those folks don't know what they're doing, clear your schedule for the 2024 race next year and buy a ticket and go there to see for your self. GM by the way, has NEVER even entered the LMP class because they can't compete at that level! Yes, the Corvette has won many at the lower class level and that's fine.

@LWRC but you dont own anyone of them so i guess you can keep dreaming

@@JB-ej8zy Sure homeboy! You keep dreaming considering you didn't finish high school and can't comprehend the technical part!

Comparing a Corvette to a Volkswagen is ridiculous.

@craigthescott5074 You can compare anything. The GTI has a MUCH better interior than a C5 or C6. I had both. I can drive around getting 36 mpg in a car that's just as quick and has a much better stereo, heated seats etc. The German stuff is very good.

@@Carguylogan I don’t buy a performance car for the interior. My C5 Z06 is 600 HP and it gets 21 mpg. As long as the interior is Comfortable the C5 is, and it provides the information I need when driving I don’t get to caught up in it. Bottom line the C5 would smoke your Volkswagen in every performance category, that’s all that matters to me. Not to mention the C5 is much better looking than any VW.

@craigthescott5074 After you put a supercharger on it sure. Thete a plenty of guys running around at 500 wheel in GTIs. And all you have to do is change that to a Golf R instead of GTI and there is no metric than even a supercharged C5 would win. Gapped off the stop light, probably about even 60-130, equal or better handling. I love C5s. But they are old tech. All I did here was say I liked my GTI more... Look at my channel bud, I had a 15,000 mile C5 Z, a cam/stall C6, my Golf, plenty of other cars. I paid cash for them all and my house lol, if I wanted a car to gap some random guy from RU-vid's C5, I would have it tomorrow. The C5 Z was a fun car for sure. A GTI or Golf R is a better car all around unless it's a dedicated track car.

Nah just buy a formula 1 car

Stoopid take

No man, a spaceship would be better..

Go ahead! Spend $440k on one car! He buys his $25k c5 zo6 and with another $10-12k would smoke your LFA and homeboys Porsche and lambo!!!

It's a Chevy LMAO 0 RELIABILITY. An IS500 would even be better. ✌️

I enjoy it way more as it sits

The car looks fantastic. Would no change a thing.
