- As the year comes to an end, I want to take some time to reflect on the journey with my 2003 Corvette Z06 thus far. Special thanks to all the friends I made along the way and all of the people that helped me or watched my video! Can't wait to see what 2021 has in store!

Young folks like you with a "go get'em" attitude give me hope for the future. Great hot rod and keep up the great work!
Thank you for such kind words, Jeff!
I have always loved Corvette and bought my first one about 1-1/2 years ago. I've gotten the same fever you have of "need for speed" and now have a 2016 Z06 and a 2011 Grand Sport. Huge difference between the two but love them both. I'm thinking a lot about the C5 Z lately.
that exhaust is the most beautiful sound ever
It's nice to see someone who cares about their car so much, and doesn't pay people to work on it. Good job and I enjoy your videos.
I purchased my first C5 3 years ago. After extensive research I found your videos to be the final confirmation that I needed one. I then moved on to a C5 FRC. Now I'm in a C6 Cam, heads car. Thank you for all of your videos and continued inspiration! I'd love to buy you a beer some day.
From your experience....how u like the C6 Compared to your C5 from before?
This is awesome. First time in a while that I’ve watched through a whole video this long.
for sure
I remember in 03 when I spent a lot of time at gm dealers looking at these Z06s I couldn’t afford one then and couldn’t justify buying one later. Now they’re very affordable and I’m going to be buying one in a couple years to build with my son. He’s 11 now so we’ll have a couple years to make it badass. The wife didn’t agree with getting a teen a Corvette even an older one till I reminded her all the trouble I got into in sedans,SUVs, etc. only 2 seats so only 2 people in a Vette and it’s going to get attention from everyone including cops so he won’t be doing anything shady.
@meefjwfhss I cargurus.com is a good start. You can search by year, max price, mileage etc. you can even search by color, trans, convertible or not. You can eliminate ones that have damage history if you like. Yes there are plenty out there under 20k. I’ve seen nice ones under 100k miles, no previous damage for 17-19,000.
yes, YOUR CAR is an awesome ride! Nice work.
Hey Jamal, stumbled on this vid today, you've got one hell of a nice car on your hands and it's clear you love it! You've done plenty of work and I wish you many miles of smiles with it :D
Jamal, I loved this video. What makes it more special is that you built the car yourself and that you have such a positive outlook.
Beautiful ride!
10:25 what a difference
I had an ‘02 C5 convertible. I had a Vararam intake on it, a B&B Bullet exhaust w/4” round tips. I used to get on it in downtown San Francisco along with my cousin on his Harley with a Thunder header. We would menace the streets for a few minutes. I’d be in 1st and 2nd gear. The sounds would echo and reverberate off the faces of those old buildings. We had a ball.
Literally my dream car. your car is the car i’ve been dreaming about since I was young man.
i would do anything for it
Work for it.
Foqsi have been bro. just got an internship at nasa man. so excited. all that money is going towards buying one
@@dannymillsaps9404give us a update brother! did you get your dream car ?
Been following you since the beginning. You’ve come a long way! I sold my C5Z few years back. I’m glad i can still live thru you. Keep living the dream Jamal!
picking up my non-z06 c5 this saturday and this video has me hyped! This is an awesome vid and you seem like a genuine guy, thanks for sharing you journey with this car!!!
I appreciate the kind words! Congrats on the new car
AWESOME BUILD I JUST TRADED MY FORD FOCUS ST FOR A CORVETTE C5 VIDEO COMING NEXT WEEK 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow. Great video. Beautiful Z06. Corsa exhaust with that cam ...omg! 😍
Just picked up myself a c5. Your video encourages me to start adding things to it and build it. Nice video man!
Well as long as you like them. Im a multi corvette owner. 2 show cars a 74 canary yellow 454 with ac 20k miles and a 2013 427 convertible special ordered with 405 miles on it. I have a 2000 c5 I drive everyday and play with. I am in the process of adding a 2017 zr1 3zr with 617 miles on to my collection.
Great vid man. Fun watching all the highlights since the beginning and watching you transform the car into what it is today. Now I need heads and leaning towards the same ones you got.
This is the textbook definition of "dropped a valve" !!!
Electron Blue, the most beautiful color ever!
Don’t own a corvette personally. However, I watched this video because I love them and you have an amazing channel. Definitely had to subscribe man keep up the good work.
You should get one! Life is short man, go for it! Consider this your sign!
Hey Jamal, I'm your neighbor across the street. I just picked up a 2004 Corvette Coupe. Come see it.
This thing looks like a MONSTER
Thanks man!
This wheel tire combo is so good!
This is my dream car I just can’t decide if red or blue is my favorite!
Loved this. Sweet car, sounds awesome and I love that you're doing it all at home/with friends. Jealous!
Awesome video man!!
Really nice work.
And this is an amazing car!!
Incredible how time flys!! I can remember watching all those mod videos when they came out. Great video and always great content. Happy New Year to you and your family and look forward to see what you do next. Cheers!!!
I love it, man. Great job. Sounds deadly, and all the small mods add up just like the big ones do. Looks great
Super nice C5....ENJOYED.
Duuude! Killer compilation. Now I need to build mine. Thank you brother 🙏🏻💯
Thank you!
Not a big fan of these RUclips guys and their cars but this is my favorite channel so far.
You’ve done a great job on this car Jamal- take it from an old Gearhead who’s lucky to still have kept his C5Z over 11 years, 46k miles later - hit me up whenever
What an excellent video. I'm in the market for a C5 Z06, looking for videos showcasing heads, cams, and longtubes. Just trying to get a feel for what I'm in for and I stumbled upon this absolute gem. 👌
Absolutely incredible. Phenomenal job with the car.
You are a really great guy, Jamal. Hope you have a terrific Corvette life Buddy!
One thing I might add if I were you and that would be a short-shift kit. Makes the gear changes so much quicker, positive, and easier. Love the sound of the Corsa man! Good Job, Jamal! Wish I could see/hear that car in person!😎👍🏻😁
Jamal ,, Beautiful C5 ,, Love the new Wheels and tires ,there nothing cooler than working on your own car,Funny how you cover your License Plates because it’s impossible to trace a person by their plates ,, try it ,, I did. Love the LEDs BTW
Been watching your videos for years ! You have come a long way, looking mint!
Crazy how far it’s come
I have always liked the c5/c6 Corvette body style ...
Great video Jamal! Enjoyed watching the progress on you c5.
What an exciting journey
Awesome video. Beautiful ride.
Watched the whole video, you had some serious fun with this car 😉 congratulations, beautiful and i bet a blast to drive.
Really enjoyed this montage of footage, keep going with the upgrades
Awesome build man, you remind me alot of myself when I first got into c5s! Keep it up!
OUTSTANDING video, Jamal! That was a very comprehensive overview of what you have done to your car. Looking forward to see what you'll do next. BTW, I own a white '99 Coupe. Wonderful car!
Awesome vid the car is siiiick
Liked the upgrades over time!!
Nice work on your ride. I have an 04 same color but coupe. Next up for me is the exhaust.
Dude. Sweet look, man. Very classy.
Bought one of these new in 2002 and sold it in 2004 and miss it all the time.
That's cool @Jamal's Garage I also have a C5 I plan on doing a lot to it this winter.
Good call ditching the BB for a Corsa, sounds like a sports car again
Awesome car and very well put together video!
Really good looking car! I daily an Arctic white LS3 C6, but I would love to have a C5Z or a FRC
I love it! Awesome build. I gotta say I'm a bit jealous, lol. I've been wanting to buy a low mileage ZO6 and do similar. Pretty cool video. Pat yourself on the back, you have a sweet ride there buds! 👍
Beautiful build and nicely documented man, enjoy!
Just to follow up, how has the car been running since you finished your build? Any mechanical issues and how many miles since completion?
@@ToroMoto idk how I'm just seeing this, but the car has been awesome man! I don't drive nearly as much as I used to but it still runs like top
@@JamalsGarage good stuff, thanks for the update man. Take care
Dope vid bro!! Hell of a journey! Looks awesome now!
The stock 243 heads are already pretty much the best for the ls6/ls1 platform they flow well up to 630hp. I wouldn't have swapped those out. I Have the base C5 LS1. I NEED a head upgrade lol
Love it, great job Jamal.
Awesome video man!
Enjoyed this very much! Subscribed.
Damn now I have go get Corsa.
badass man really cool video reminds me of my c6z build keep it up
Real nice car, good work!!!
Amazing car, amazing video!
Nice c5z, my favorite color for those cars also. Seems like a lot of oil for 1200 miles. My supercharged coyote doesn't produce that much in 5000 miles and they are known for needing a catch can.
great job bro, i love it!
definitely always wanted to do up a C5Z.. can't beat it for the price.
god bless, see you in 21'
Yes you can. A C6Z.
@@TheTmshuman both cars have crap heads. Valve springs, valve guides, harmonic balancers, basic engine components that should last forever. They did it on the C5, then again on the C6 Z06.
@@truantray Cool story bro. Care to back up any of that nonsense? The only issue the LS7 had that was wide spread (fraction of a percent) was none concentric valve guides.
LS7 heads crap? 😭
Great work so far. Let's see where the future goes.
Dig the video.👍 Just don't go down the supercharger route due to mod addiction. I would move on to another platform or upgrade to a 630whp 427 if you must.
Sick video dude!!! Save the manuals!!!!!!!😎🤘
I definitely raced this on my bike with a yellow headlight one day on a back road of rockwall texas!
Happy New Year Jamal!
Great Video man!
Awesome car ! Great video. Good to see ya do work your self and learn the car.
That was a sick build, great video!
Quite lucky w the broken valve spring failure. 😳 I had a track day in October ‘20 w my EBM Z06 w stock everything. Pulled it apart for a build so I can avoid that failure. 85k miles I guess I was pushing my luck 😅
Great video! Perfect combo of mods all around.
Great looking car. Pretty similar to how I'd like to build my C5 Base.
Cool video Jamal. Hellbound
Cool progression of your car!
I got lucky TWICE with valve springs breaking!
Strongly considering a c5/c6 with heads/ cam/intake/ headers/ exhaust with ccw wheels to be the weekend cruiser. Awesome vid! And nice vette 🤟
Nicely done.
Liked
Enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work!!
Clean c5 👍
Good information thanks.. car looks great and like to see more videos of the car!! ✌🏽
I’m running CCW SP500 rims on my 03Z06 9” fr/ 11” rear
As soon as these prices drop down I’m going to search for a blue c5 hopefully a z06 but we will see I sold my Focus ST to start saving money.
he put so much into protecting his license plate, yet it was shown multiple times
Yea that was in early videos. Now I don't care
@@JamalsGarage 4 months ago?
My dream car
Nice build
Love it!!!!!!!!!!
remember this about your 160 degree thermo.. the computer is looking for a certain TEMPERATURE for timing and fuel injection as well as idle, so remember this!
Good video!!...Your making good progress!
everyone goes with the quad tips exhaust, i think ill keep my duel to be different
Awesome video 🔥
