    I love my C5. I purchased it new 1/07/2000.
    I've put 54k miles on it and it still runs like a Swiss watch.
    I'm 70 years old now, and I don't get around like I once did, but I'm still young at heart.
    I don't have room in the garage for another car, so I will pass on entering the contest and wish good luck and happy motoring to all who participate.

    Thanks for this video, it is one i had been waiting on. I really do like this car, the C5 was a great platform and really elevated the vette back to a status it hadn't achieved in quite some time. My first corvette was a 2004 C5, and i wish i had been able to keep it. This car looks great in BGM with the tan interior, such a classy color combo. I am glad you addressed the exhaust because i think it will look and sound great once upgraded. This beauty would look great in my garage next to the C7.
    Anyway best of luck to everyone on this giveaway! Someone will be winning a fine car and a true classic. And thank you for doing this!

    i have the whole interior out of my C5 now. Cleaning, scrubbinging, dying , all new clips, spacers, extra pads for stiffness and rattles, 50 pounds in Dynamat ( i hated to do it and add the weight , but was so load on the road and the heat in the summer from the front and the center tube, this makes it much much better) . Interiors almost done, 20 hours later. New wheels, tires and and some other tastefull mods incomming, full tune up and tranny refresh already done. Also its a vert, and its gonna need a new top, it will het it, I saved this from the trash a labour of love... Thanks guys gr8 content!

    The first time I drove my father’s C5, I was blown away by the performance. The bang for the buck is incredible and it feels as fast if not faster than cars a lot more expensive than it’s price tag. Unfortunately he had to sell it to pay for college but ever since he owned it I told myself I would have a corvette. Love this channel 👍

    I have a 2001 Z06. It's the only Corvette I've ever had. Even the Z06 with the smaller trunk area still has plenty of room to daily drive. The AC in these cars is bangin! The biggest complaint people have is the interior but that depends massively on the condition. I have worked on beat C5s and the interior was awful. Mine is in great condition though and the interior is great. Same interior but the condition makes a huge difference. The seats in the Z06 are inadequate but they were made to be lighter than the base C5 seats. They are comfortable but trash for performance driving. A 6 speed C5 is gonna be a decent amount quicker than an auto one so that's something to keep in mind. Z06 is a bit quicker than a base C5 going straight and a lot quicker in the mountains or on track. But the Z06 is noiser on the road than the base C5. Both are good cars with great clutch, brake and steering feel

  • @craigthescott5074
    @craigthescott5074 2 года назад +7

    I’m not sure about the C5 but the C5 Z06 6 speed manual car is awesome . Hands down the best generation to build as a race car for the money. My C5 Z06 is a built LS3 with 600 hp, built tranny, built rear end. 4 point roll bar, harnesses, super modified suspension. The car is a monster. C6 Z06 wheels, Nitto race tires. I road race, and auto cross it and sometimes use as a daily driver. This car easily destroys hell cats, most 911 Porsche’s, Mustang GT’s, SS Camaro’s etc.. And for a lot less money.

    I have the 2001 C5 corvette in Bowling Green and the same interior. Modes are the switched out headlights and Billy Boat Exhaust, which make the car sound awesome. Not sure if you are going with that or axle back, but strongly suggest you look at Billy Boat's. My car is a manual convertible, and am seriously considering selling, traffic where I live is harder on manual drivers and enjoyment of sitting in stop and go traffic.

    First off, I've been with you as a subscriber almost from the beginning and have watched all of your uploads and have enjoyed each and every one without exception! But . . . . yeah, always a "but." 😉 BUT, this 18 minute video I have to say is my favorite. I've watched it three times already. Yeah, I like the number 3. Maybe that's because I learned how to drive a manual "three-on-the tree" transmission. Don't even ask what year that was guys! Okay, I'll move on now with my below "few" words on this video and it's subject. The C5 Generation.
    The C5 was relevant when it was introduced in 1997 and remained relevant through the subsequent C6 and C7 generations and remains so even while being surrounded with maybe the most popular generation yet - the C8! The C8 is a Corvette for children of all ages.😁
    The C5 was relevant when it was born in '97. Continued being relevant into teenagerhood and is remaining relevant now in young adulthood at it's 24 years since being born. THAT tells me when it reaches middle-age and then into it's senior 60s , it will still be relevant. Think about it guys and gals. When it's a senior at 60, the year will be 2057! Most of you watching will be around to welcome in the 2057 new year. Why not prepare now for that New Year's celebration and get yourself a C5 now! Look at all the celebrations you'll be able to enjoy for all the years in between and more than likely for many years afterwards!

    You should consider styling cars.
    You have a good eye for style.
    That color is so pretty, that it almost looks fake.
    At the end of the video, when this car was sitting in the sun, that color paint job, on top of that gloss, that you did, looked like something, that you can probably see, if you were in an airplane, passing by.
    It literally shines that much

    Still relevant? Absolutely! I dont daily drive mine, but I love driving my C5 (same Dark Bowling Green color). So much fun to drive. People who dont know Corvettes dont realize the C5 is over 20 years old.
    My only complaint is you can't close the hatch without opening the windows or doors.

    • @gotmylk
      @gotmylk 2 года назад +1

      Have you checked to see if your cabin pressure relief valve is blocked/obstructed? The valve is located on the side wall panel, immediately behind (to the rear of) the driver's side wheel well. All C5s (coupes, verts, FRC/Z06s) have them. The valve frame is made of whitish plastic and is approximately four square inches. When you pull the side carpet back, you should see it. It may be obstructed.
      Also the Corvette emblem on the rear hatch was placed in the center for when you lower the hatch and just press firmly in that spot to latch your trunk.

    • @gotmylk
      @gotmylk 2 года назад +2

      I've owned 3 C5s and still have the one I bought new in 2000 when I was 25. Neither of them required the windows or doors to be open to close the hatch/ trunk, but did/do require a firm press on the trunk lid (emblem) to secure.
      If you are doing the above and its still not latching you could have an issue with the latch mechanism on one side or both. Some have had this problem. After inspecting the latch they determined that it had broken away from its attachment and was lower than usual. Thus it was hindering the catch from securing to the latch. ;)

Pictures, videos, random people will just be enamored by the design. I’ve driven my buddies c7 and it doesn’t get as much attention as the C5. One time

    As a guy who owns a C5 Corvette, I'll tell you, it damned sure is.
    I get paid hourly, and I've got two kids in college, so a C5 was as much as I could afford Corvette wise.
    To me the newer, bigger horsepower later cars are a draw, that is I might have one when I eventually upgrade.
    Mine is a 2001 Convertible, it's got 350hp, a 6 speed, and weighs about 3200lbs?
    I've owned Big Block Chevelles, 13, & 12 second cars, and this feels, like it should go a bottom 13, or top 12 seconds.
    More horsepower in this would be a little scary, as the number gets higher,
    and I've come to accept, that even when I thought I was a good driver, I couldn't use all this car has.
    I do intend to eventually quarter mile it, to satisfy my curiosity, and maybe auto cross it too.
    If you can't enjoy this car, you're dead.
