Why the C6 Corvette is a Legend - The Smoking Tire 

you never turned a picture into disgusting foil.

I’m confused, is this a partnership with RCR? Or did you guys take-over this giveaway or something? What’s the story?

@@sixteenseven123 Yeah RCR and TST keep double dipping while being shady about it. They did it with the BMW also.

For some reason when I click the contest link I get a web page that says “Application Error”. Maybe it’s down temporarily?

@@justinmcgrane1429wish i had known they shady i paid my money to them and all i got was a Thank you we will update you with tracking and it’s been weeks now no update or reply in email

Unless the previous owner threw those boomer spec rims and tires in the garage and put some real wheels on it for 9 years.

you just need to go 50 on the freeway with your left arm resting on the door with the window rolled down listening to Eric Clapton

@@360fanboy360 other than the 50, this has basically been my dream since high school. Just always loved the old man stuff lol.

Outdated tires are definitely key! "It's all original"

As well as a shady, borderline scammy giveaway that is being run by at least three different car RU-vidrs all claiming it as their own giveaway and not disclosing any affiliation with each other or even disclosing that Matt farah is modifying it

Technically they're not 20 until next year, 2005 model year was released in 2004. So you've got another year till you're old 😂

It's still a classic car

Should I get this car

@@luisalexis5170if u have the money get a ls3 c6

His hairline is immaculate

@@verdict1163 I’m in my mid 20’s and wish I had that hairline. He easily looks early 30’s.

He’s actually a robot, but the good kind.

It's all the petroleum in the air that he's around 😆

I feel like people are probably supposed to age something like that. Then you add in crazy stressful work for a lot of us, bad food, insane chemicals and pollution and too many other weird things and the average person looks dogged out at 40.

You can get black ones. Work's with all colors and looks much better than painted ones IMO.

I’m (pretty) sure you can wrap the bezels.

@@TriHarderKenp you’d have to heat the headlamp to soften the adhesive to remove the clear lens and then paint the bezel. Then put the headlamp back together hoping it seals.

@@dantecasali9821 thanks for the knowledge! 🙏🏼

I daily drive a C6 GS and agree with all of this lol. I’m torn between those two exact shocks, decided against coilovers. I did the morimoto tails but kept the factory headlights upgraded to led. Bit about the throttle response is 100% spot on.

Great suggestions. My C6 LS3 car was tuned and had pretty sharp throttle response and I loved it. My C7 on the other hand was not as sharp and it made a big difference in drivability.

Wow, do I agree with you there! I bought a C6 with just 23k the year before the C7 came out. It had Borla's on it. Serious Drone! Had dealership pull 'em off at purchase. Bought C7 the next year. Kept C6. Then found a 2008 C6Z06 with just 6k miles, with Corsa. Terrific sound!!

​@@dailydriven991 just do BC racing BR's and don't touch where they are set (minus the ride height, they sit around 1.5" low from the factory which is huge on the already lowered widebody trims). The dampening is on par with most Koni and KYB inserts for various cars (I have a suspicion they are doing "corporate espoinage"), and the individual springs will get rid of that god-awful crosstalk. I do agree with the rest of his points MINUS the throttle controller and Morimotos. On the throttle controller, I have seen not enough lag worth tuning out, but I am on a C6Z, so different engine, and take that how you will. On the morimotos....well My daily has them, a 3rd gen tacoma. The brake light wire broke mid wire, they refused to warranty it despite them admitting that they had a lot of problems with the first generation of tail lights for it. I fixed it myself by finding the break, shorting the wire length as required and resoldering/reassembling the plug assembly. One of the issues they had was the harness being too long and causing pinching, which is what happened to me. It felt like I was shoving a rats nest of wiring into the tail light mounting area when I first put them in, which was a major red flag/ So I for me, I got some clones on amazon for the fracture of the price, took them apart. Made sure the soldering was overdone, re-assembled them and made sure that nothing loose or the wires were tight/had pressure on them. That being said, the vette rear facia area has a lot of space in it so as long as the cables are managed to where they don't just randomly flop around, the issue should be minimal.

Underrated take. Best way to improve everything about a used older sports car is updating to modern tires.

I was literally thinking that as well. Anything they talked about with braking or suspension feel could all be due to the old tires

Can you share a link to that shifter? I have a LS2 C6

​@@TheGetawayer mgw short shifter. However never had anything else to compare

Exactly how I feel when a buddy finally buys a cool car

Unrelated but I saw a 2014-15 Camaro Z28 today and it’s cool af knowing it has the LS7 inside, you can’t go wrong with an LS ever and especially regarding sound

A CAM

@Justin_GFM sold my 14 paxton coyote two weeks ago & am looking at a c6 z06 in my area

the diffs don't last with c6 with ls2

Kooks long tubes and factory NPP on my LS2 sound great. I think Headers really are a must

Wow never noticed that it looked like that stock

That's a one year only steering wheel. 06 and up had a 3 spoke steering wheel that was used in everything including the Cruze. I actually like this wheel more. The 3 spoke looks even plasticy-er and cheap.

exact car. very shady. someone in LA won it as well.

of course not, HIS CORVETTE IS BEST CORVETTE

But you'll have a chance at winning a 20yo clapped-out C6! So EXITED 😞

At least make it a TST and/or WCCS logo as options. That mug looks $10 at best, and I’d honestly Good Will next time I do spring cleaning

You don’t have to purchase anything. But they continently left you no way to see the official rules. And for some reason they want you to write 25 words on what it would mean to win the car. I have little faith they will include those entries since they hide the official rules from you.

@@Bob_Smith19 they also allowed at least one other group to promote this giveaway using an entirely different URL and without disclosing the connections between TST and regular car reviews. RCR acted like this car was theirs and was staying in the northeast unmodified but then tst has the same exact car and they're modifying it in LA. A guy from LA also won it so.

I was wondering the same thing! I love both channels too.

It's the same car, the RCR video has the same broken center console and scratches near the handle. the giveaway pages are the exact same for both channels too. I don't think I've ever seen a 'double dip' youtube channel giveaway lol

@@davidib17 The BMW giveaway was the same situation. Same car by both channels. It makes me curious, because they don't mention upgrades on the RCR channel at all. But yes, they're the same car.

@@durwoodrobison7800 there was also a third channel promoting this corvette but i can't find it, either they deleted the video or i never actually watched enough of it to show up in my watch history. This is really sketchy, especially since the person who won this corvette lives in the los angeles area just like the smoking tire

rcr and tst actually have different links. if you go to the link in this video's description you can see it's a dead page, but the RCR page is now for a honda s2000. Someone else was advertising this giveaway as well using the tst link but i can't for the life of me find the video for it.

Same car, same giveaway page. A bit odd but ok

Pinning isn't really necessary on a car without a blower. I've never done it on a vette but i assume it's harder to get in there and do than on a truck.

That steering wheel and early C6 interior bits are terrible. The 2008+ C6 are far better.
