I got it cheap, like probably the cheapest in history. It was higher mileage, had some issues and flaws but It was just one of those cars that where ever you went, you were breaking necks! At the time, also had a S2000 that needed a major overhaul. Did full Ap2 swap, carbon fiber hardtop, coilovers, street clutch, tires, intake, tune, exhaust and it was ready for some action. I didnt own that one very long before I got offered a Dodge Viper Ram SRT10 🐏 😳 🙃 so I got rid of both for my pickup. My trucks valuation has gone up significantly but so have the C5z & S2k. IN THE END, NO RAGRETS 🤣
one little hack that i've discovered in my c5 is if you don't want to always put your phone in the center console storage, my phone fits and secures perfectly into the door handle slot. Should work for most phones!
I have a 97 black c5 6sp cam, ls6 intake, long tube headers, X pipe, cold air, centerforce clutch and dyno tuned. Note I also have a 24 C8 Z06 convertible. Love them both. Drive them about the same frequency. People always ask which I like better. I simply cannot pick one over the other. They are just different experiences that give you that same evil smile each time.
@@josueinfante415 One of the easiest cars to learn manual because its a light car with a lot of torque. You can easily get it moving with minimal throttle input.
Do you have a short shifter, if so which one. I have an 02 base m6 z51. It goes in the shop in a week or so for 243 heads, btr3, headers, and x pipe. Already have corsa extreme axle back. Hope mine sounds as sweet 😁😁😁
I bought it with the hurst shift knob on it and havent actually inspected to see if theres a short shifter on it, the shifts still feel long so I’ll probably be ordering a MGW shifter soon! Im assuming mine is stock currently
Dude Fr… it was a sweet video but the lack of lane discipline (in the daytime with traffic), the shotty downshifting, revving to upshift sometimes?, waiting to check the train tracks until halfway across them (might as well close your eyes and hope there’s not a train), made it a somewhat un enjoyable video. I couldn’t just enjoy the car and I was really trying to.
That GM starter is such an iconic sound.
Every kids dad’s truck had this starter

6:08 the moment you think “yeah, it’s a life worth living.”
I have a 2001 C5. This video really captures just how much fun a C5 is to drive.
Had a C5 Z06. Was such a hotrod with headers & full exhaust. I could only imagine the chop with a cam 😮
Do you regret getting rid of it or you moved into something better?

Next to the S2k, my BMW 135i M is as close as ot gets to the vettes peak, raw, unfiltered performance but all 3 or completely different animals 😉
@@ElRayDelRio Which did you like more between the vette and the s2000?
@Eldrote C5Z hands down! But the S2k is a great car out the box, just needs a little more power and more room lol
oh yea baby this is what its all about
🦅🦅🦅
love these kind of videos, hope you post more in the future
Thank you for that eargasm ❤️🔥
What a beautiful classic car
Hell yea love the c5!

Sick video, I want one so bad

@@CodyDrivendo you think a c5 would be good first manual car??
@@josueinfante415 would be fine!

One day🙏🏾🙏🏾
Idk why there is so much hate in c5s my dad has a 2000 ls6 swapped with around 540 hp and it’s so fun to drive rather have it over a c8 anyday
Great car.
This is awesome
those are nice!

Thanks for the reply. I probably will be also. Mine is too notchy and long.
@CodyDriven I've heard the tick one feels better actually, I'd give them a look too
@@CodyDrivenC5's actually have a button by steering wheel that let you see every code entered to see if its been modified or tuned at all
what are the details on your exhaust? I'm buying my dad's 98 in a few days.
You ever find out how much power she makes?.
Filming the dyno video saturday FINALLY
👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where's this at? I'm in SW Virginia and wow, a lot of these roads look familiar :)
Wooooow 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
could you do a night drive pov in the c5?
This Is An American RX7
About a hundred times more reliable.
C5 is closer to a Miata than an RX-7 but similar. RX-7s are criminally overpriced and C5s are affordable.
I'm not book smart about chevy corvettes but I am smart about there trucks lmao, I was wondering what kinda trim level this corvette is?
Its a 2003 base model
@@CodyDriven Oh okay, Thank you!
I can smell this video😂
Good video, but I really hate everywhere your hands are lol
What state bro? Texas got the most boring backroads here😭
Alabama🦅
@CodyDriven i know exactly what road that is lol
Can I show you how to drive it?
😂
