      @@OneIssueVoter Yeah kinda sketchy the only way to enter online is to buy a $49 coffee mug. Can get a ceramic, handmade in America coffee mug for less lmfao. Also requiring a "brief description on what winning the Grand Prize would mean to you" for the mail-in, but not for purchase seems to be in violation, as giveaways are random and not predicated on who has the best reason for winning. They want to have a contest or raffle, that's one thing, but this sure doesn't like a giveaway. Just a way for some middleman to make a bunch of money off of some poor quality, over-priced coffee mugs.

      Nope. Sorry. There is no easy option on the link for the "no purchase necessary" thing. I get that you're running a business, but if you are going to advertise "no purchase necessary," then make it easy. You get way more than the price of a mug from your sponsors. Come on.

    Really missing the reviews of older/modified cars. I (probably like many viewers) can’t afford the majority of the new cars you review. I realize there are valid reasons for you stepping away from this format, but they truly were my favorite videos that have appeared on this channel.

      Its actually why alot of old fans left sadly but Matt got burnt out on doing them he did like 500. Zacks done some recent ones which were really good but don't seem to be getting traffic, I think RUclips just has a vendetta on veteran content makers in favour of younger, algorithm milkers.

      They review enough affordable cars. Lot of those old videos with modified cars were very expensive to build or keep alive. I think its more about preference. Either you rather spent 20k on mods for 10k car, or you spent 30 on something newer and lease it.

The C8 has a big blocky rear end and the front looks busy, I'm not saying its not a good car, its over the top performance for my idea of canyon carving though. For me I would be looking more at Cayman or Supra level of performance. Price, performance, interior quality of the Supra is my level of sports car, kind of think its over styled though.

    Great series and hope the new owner is happy. I certainly wouldn't have spent (wasted?) the money like you guys did, but kudos regardless. Why are the new rotor hubs still rusty? Makes the black wheels look even worse. One word: Michelin. Why is the expensive suspension set to "soft"? Again, I get that you get sponsor freebies, but... Luv you guys!

    I recently bought a '15 Z51 7-speed. And I agree with all the "Boomer trash, lawn chair, New Balance wearing, old white guy (not meant as racist)" image. As someone who was only into imports before, the world of LS swaps opened my eyes to how great C5-C7's are. The C5-C7 will become the next "Murrican S13-S15" platform, only that you won't have to pour 10's of thousands of dollars into some SR20 or RB just to get 400 dyno hp, at least reliable hp.

    The murdah'd out, all-black-everything look was played out over a decade ago, and someday will probably be viewed as one of my generation's winga dinga excesses. (Matt already sounds like a boomer talking about it.) It's only marginally less gross to me than that boomer pepboys chrome. But it was still an improvement. Love the detail paid to less obvious things like the exhaust and suspension. Getting the OEM seats redone seems like a great idea over tossing in flash race buckets. Sounds like the winner is going to have a great example of a C6

    Fan since Matt’s sideburn times. First time commenting. Great job on the car. A little bummed…Just when I was ready to pull the trigger on overpaying for a not great looking coffee mug….turns out Florida residents are not included in the eligible areas?
    Please fix this next time? A lot of gear heads in Fl that would not mind entering at the chance of having a corvette in their driveway.
