I like the C3 wide body Corvette. The wide body kit is great. No exposed screws or additional plastic pieces were added to the fenders that show the seams between the fenders and the extentions. The fenders are smooth from top to bottom. If the power train is making 410 hp at the tire, it's probably making close to 500 at the engine crank. That's good enough for me. It's horsepower that can actually be used for the street or autocross.

@ricarquitectura4857 Год назад

C3, for me, the curves, the colour, and that glorious sound!

@chesspiece81 Год назад

A dark green hard top C3 with white stripes, full chassis, aluminum 598ci fuel injected BBC with a 6 speed manual. BBK front and rear, really wide 18" BC Forged wheels, 295-315 fronts and 315-335 rears. Black stock like interior.

@mg_streetkandi Год назад

Green C3 is definitely takes the win for me.. I've seen that car on TV many times..Love it!!...Btw..Review your GT350 on the channel..Tell us what you think of it...🏁👍🏽

@jasonstanford Год назад

In my opinion that orange 65 is one of the best cars you have ever highlighted. It's like an adult go kart!

@williamsager1238 Год назад

Greg’s car is wicked bad ass !! And your show Shawn is the best on the web !!!

@sickjohnson Год назад

You can't possibly go wrong...big fan of purpose built especially when they look that good and have some conveniences in them still.

@white-dragon4424 Год назад

The C3 has always been my favourite gen of Corvette, with the C7 and C6 as runners up, but I must say that the C2 has enough design character to make it into 4th place, especially when it comes to customising. I especially like the metallic orange one in the vid. As you said though, the less said about the C4 the better...

@hotrod2321 Год назад

This was just a great video. Both car's are awesome.

@DataRew Год назад

I will always choose a C3, but I have a lot of personal history with them (even though I'm not yet 40, but close). For me, C3's, C7's, and C6's are the top three corvette generations, in order. Then, C8's, C5's, C1's/C2's, and C4's

@billd7470 Год назад

Greg for the win. Thanks for reading my suggestion. When you start clapping (in the cars) I know you having fun.

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Thanks for the suggestion. Both great cars but Greg’s has some secret sauce that throw it over the top for me

@bourbonandbeard9721 Год назад

C2. It's just a monster. And I love that sound.

@bazilwreckerloughead Год назад

I think I'd pick the C2 too...also. I like that style of Corvettes, plus it's got 2 of my favorite words; MANUAL BRAKES!

@jrmotorsports5532 Год назад

Both are awesome! My vote would be C2, favorite generation of vette, and amazing engineering. Not to take away from the C3. Keep it up, love this series!

@petrolhead8851 Год назад

Both such bad ass builds but I would choose Rambo in a heartbeat, it’s more my style

@jasonmacneil2256 Год назад

You know what would be REALLY COOL is to put a velocity meter on this car, and then register the G FORCES!!!

@Marcus007 Год назад

Both are great builds. It's easier to paint the c2 than upgrade the c3 to the c2's performance. Even with equal paint, I too prefer the looks of the c3. If they both had equal paint and mechanical, I'd go with the c3.

@drdanimalsize Год назад

C3 Rambo all the way. It's probably my favorite car on this whole channel. But I agreed that it could use a 427 ls instead yeeee

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

They’re both such well built pure driver cars

@hoonaticbloggs5402 Год назад

8:40 made me grin

@Chewygsxr Год назад

This is the first time I have disagreed with you Garrett's car just looks badass, it's a close one for sure, I just don't like a bunch of stickers. The Fiesta Flash.

@stanmendoza7871 Год назад

That C3 sounds wicked and looks bitchin!

@fishpony1211 Год назад

Got to go with the c3 on this one. Color, stance, setup. The c2 is beautifully done and i know ill get shit for this but i just dont like c2’s.

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

They’re both total dream cars especially for hard drivers

@Gadsden-rn2wl Год назад

Id have to go Rambo on this one. Both are great tho!

@diarian Год назад

i love both

@truebetold65 Год назад

The C3 is definitely the winner. Looks way better original and modified.

@ElBadu Год назад

Is that an F40 you got covered in the garage?? 👀 0:29

@jb2oldies69 Год назад

Nice vettes 👍👍

@buchmannray Год назад

Honestly, they are both great cars. Prefer the C3 as it's what I'm working on myself. Far too go, but that's what this hobby is all about. No LS for me though, old school.

@matthewpicklesimer293 Год назад

Rambo

@milkovivaldi 7 месяцев назад

C3 🫵💙

so what is the 0-100-0 time?

@alg5221 11 месяцев назад

@crawford323 Год назад

Oh the new wave who-the-crap -are you -talking-to video editing. Sorry I had to click away. Couldn't stand it any longer. You may have had something to share but you need to make it less visually painful.

@digitalbrand2930 Год назад

My father worked with General Motors and designed these Corvettes, collected and restored these cars…🤓! Sadly, he passed away at age 61 years…

@marcust510 Год назад

The SOUND of that C3 tho 😮‍💨🔥

@jasoncarpenter4116 Год назад

If I had to choose between the two it would be the C3, but with a few small changes, because it would be more of a driver for me. A little more power, more comfortable seats, and a more stock looking C3/C4 wing spoiler.

@melvinburwell8202 Год назад

I don't care what anybody says. Nothing like a Sick C2. Loved it since birth. Perfect. C3 is badd ass too. Nice track car. But the C2. Ohhh my gosh. 🤑👍❤❤😎😝

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Both are great but yeah, that C2 is pure cool

@patmarz Год назад

I been wanting a c3 so bad but the market is insane for an early year model

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

It sure is!

@brandonreeh1637 Год назад

I found good prices on Facebook market.

@ljsites Год назад

My favorite color is green….that being said, Greg’s orange c2 is by far my favorite!

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Both so good but Greg’s car is insane

@THROTTLEPOWER Год назад

Great vid!!! 👍👍

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Thank you! Great cars

@josephmatuszak3855 Год назад

Both these cars are pretty special. Honestly. It's like asking which supermodel you want to lick your face.....

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

That’s the truth!

@iansharpe8420 Год назад

Im going to pick the C3 on this one. The exhaust and engine tone is awesome. You can really tell the car is a drivers car, as it bumps along the road. Really like this build.

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

It’s so good! They’re both exceptional builds

@truebetold65 10 месяцев назад

C3 all day long. The shape will never go out of style.

@ConemantheBarbarian Год назад

When I got into autox back in the very early eighties there were a lot of fast C2 and C3 Vettes ripping around the cones in this area (Toronto). Both of these cars bring back memories and make me smile. For me there is no clear winner between these two. I would happily own either one.

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Both are incredible and dream cars

@justlistening9463 Год назад

Yeah ! Definitely a coin toss here. I'd much rather have one for Saturday's & Sunday's for the ultimate weekend warrior RIDE'S !

@cyclonekevin6199 Год назад

Two beautiful corvettes.

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Both are special builds for sure

@richardwarfield7386 Год назад

Well i'm a sucker for anything green - C3 got my vote

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

It’s a good one. They’re both really great builds

@jackperry9369 Год назад

Shawn your the best of the channels thanks for all u do love your stuff man 😆

@omnipotentone6545 Год назад

Shawn and Greg are my new hero's. First, congratulations on a great shoot. Gregs Stingray with wide tires all around, and the magic he did with it was spectacular. I've watched every GM vehicle you have featured. The one you just did with Gregs Stingray is the only one that literally gave me goosebumps. The genuine remarks you spoke and body language are real.

@shawnthomas397 Год назад

I'll make this short great job again on audio and video on both cars///I'll pick the the Corvette c3///the one body the military color//and the spoiler I can live with that///the orange Corvette is just dance too much//great power///great stopping power///(so my pic is//c3 corvette)!!!!👍😊

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Both killer rides!! I’d take either of them and be happy!!

@brandonreeh1637 Год назад

AutotopiaLA I choose the C3 my profile picture is the car. I have a 1981. I'm doing a 2004 5.3L LM7/LS with a 2005 4L80E transmission swap shooting for 500hp to the wheel. The paint is going to be snazzberry pearl from the 2022 dodge. I would like you to review it when I'm done it's going to take awhile tho.

@billboeck4644 Год назад

I would pic Rambo here`s why I built a 1989 red IROC Z28 for auto X LS 3 makes a little over 410 whp 315 B/F Goodrich all 4 corners , nice sound system , It`s a cruzzer But I mostly race it , Auto X / time lap`s / start stop / Drag . It`s one thing to build a race car It`s another to build a all around driver. :) Catch me at LS Fest / Good Guys / EquipeRapide Events in TX . Peace Bill B Keep up the good work

@jameshutchins3396 Год назад

This one is easy ... both. Only thing I would change? Chrome bumpers. Why both? One for autocross the other for road race. Done.

@robs85gmc Год назад

wow both cars are so cool, but I'm feeling that C2. Antilock brakes, 630hp!

@aarongrattafiori617 Год назад

I've seen both these episodes... And damnit I was just as impressed AGAIN. What monsters and the drivers stomping on them as they're made to do. Truly epic builds that are so. well. done.

@aarongrattafiori617 Год назад

C2 looks cannot be beat though, the only thing is the color... Swap the colors!

@gsmith207 Год назад

If Zora Duntov and Harley Earl could see us now! Love me some Vettes of any Gen, but FTW I gotta pick the C3. As a GenX’er I relate better with them, plus at 6-5 I fit better in a C3! Haa! Great series my man ! Can only give 1 thumbs up, but it’s a 10!

@ahemgee9542 Год назад

The LSX seems to be quite high- ish revving and almost sounds like a flat plane V8.

@FrisellFan01 Год назад

Both these cars,,,as widened as they are......just works of art with a purpose

@thejoshbtv Год назад

I'm going C3. Its got the sexier curves. It sounds better. I think it would look better in the orange of the C2 though.

@johnmargaritis9549 Год назад

I like both but would take the c2 for one reason the higher hp and the body style , good job guys .

@YukonDemon Год назад

Been watching your videos for awhile. Like this comparison format. You've had a lot of awesome cars on your channel. Hopefully things don't get too heated. Lol! Keep up the good work.

@edinko8973 Год назад

Both cars are great, but 💚 is my favorite body shape.

@themightywookiee Год назад

Another tough one! But Rambo edges out for me.

@twelvecylinders6273 Год назад

beautiful cars!!!! it's hard to pick one!

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

It’s impossible. Both are amazing builds

@brian_and_the_car Год назад

With all due respect… Garrett’s car all day long! It’s for sure one of my favorite builds… looks, functionality… I could go on and on. Great two car showdown for sure though 💯

@dangrbitch Год назад

this never gets old. ever.

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Awesome! Both are such badass builds!

@robsorgdrager8477 Год назад

That c2 is nuts but I disagree about the c3....that is sexy and aggressive. The c3 when widened can look soooo good. Awesome video, thank you for sharing.

@coryholbrook4643 Год назад

Holy crap those cars are both so sexy. The C2 is my favorite generation but it’s hard to ignore that C3!!! I love purpose built cars. Function always trumps form but if it can look good without sacrificing performance then it’s all that much better.

@pedrofernando176 Год назад

🤙✌

@tonymanna9160 Год назад

Both awesome, but I would also pick the C2

@vicferrari9380 Год назад

I like the C3 it would have been nice to have a little more shake down like you gave the C2.

@charlesedwardsii3338 Год назад

C3 for me, but both are winners. Vettes.

@187Chevy Год назад

That 🍊 one sounds real nice….the c3 sounds like a formula v8 🔥

@maya00795 Год назад

Freakin cool... Both are looking badass 😍😍🤘🤠🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸

@smokinjoeprestwood5889 Год назад

First off, let me say that I would be happy to own either one of these "Bad Ass Corvettes. With that being said, I'm leaning towards the 65 Vette just because Orange is my favorite color 🏁🏁🏁

@MoparMissileDivision Год назад

Gotta love both! If I had to choose between these two cars I would have millions to throw at the owners and I would want both!

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

Best answer yet!!

@LoneStar_yota Год назад

Follow my build. I just started it with zero knowledge other then RU-vid. But the owner of Rambo has been my inspiration and I hope to have my car done before next year

@riverrat130 Год назад

Of course i am late too the party but I dig them both. I am a child of the 50's and got to see the horsepower revolution as it happened. The C-3 has the body stile i like and the C-2 has that beautiful Pearl Orange paint. So i will say i will take them both. LOL

@GW-nu8hc Год назад

Thanks for this review of these awesome vettes. Love both of these cars!!

@AutotopiaLA Год назад

They’re both really amazing builds

@мясистый_кокон Год назад

_Мужики, обожаю ваш канал! У меня вопрос: а есть ли у ваших друзей авто из СССР на обзор? Был бы шикарный контент! 😏_

@Coyote9smilespergallon Год назад

The Orange is for sure better and definitely my choice one or other! But the Green is still Fing awesome and talk about Movie film sound track exhaust note!!! That car is one of the best sounding I ever herd!!

@James-js6dx Год назад

👍🏿. I love both. Review the grand wagoneer on the rack. And do a truck series. I have a 88 grand wagoneer

@bossesp351xe8 Год назад

The C3 Corvette style and colour appeals more to me and does have “enough” power for its built purpose.

@craigmcpherson6972 Год назад

Just checking, are we talking wide body as in body widened, or wide track - flares fitted to accommodate the same? Just not clear to me sorry.

@SHOdown13 Год назад

Ok lets see, fast Corvette or fast Corvette. I'll take the Fast Corvette. Twist my arm, I'll take the C3 Rambo.

@FrisellFan01 Год назад

I know this is a very special car.....the sound is just ahhhhhhh I don't have words your the lucky guy getting a ride in this

@xisleprez Год назад

Dang Greg was rippin' on his vette Shawn.Seriously Badass and Rambo looks mean AF!

@somenygaard Год назад

C3 gets my vote.

@DarkKnight-ws3wx Год назад

Rambo for me!!!!!

@captaindaddy8645 Год назад

a little nitrous in the c3. those girls sound SO ANGRY

@krullmanz1 Год назад

love both, but c3 for me, my dad had a 69 just love that body shape and the drivability of it in its current form not too extreme. and the color is great
