Watch the 2nd video out now! ruclips.net/video/mqVDNX30GJc/видео.html
KEEP DOING FUN STUFF LIKE THIS AND I WILL NEVER STOP WATCHING. Love you guys!
Deal
One of the last … big tire , big engine , manual , light car with a natural balance .
👍👍
The Corvette has never been light lmao
3100lbs is pretty decent imo
@@cocainechestpains decent? It's not the heaviest, but that's not light
@@dantevito1193 you aren’t getting any lighter than that anymore kid
Dad Mode = Activated
Dad Mode always wins in the end
I had one of these. Fantastic machine. I HIGHLY recommend the Motive 4.10 ring & pinion gear set to replace the stock 3.42 gear set. Runs VERY strong with this upgrade.
Thanks for the business guys! You were a pleasure to deal with Jakub! We look forward to watching this whole series! 😀😀😀
I had one just like that in velocity yellow with competition grey wheels for 5yrs back when I got it in 2007. That car was a head of everything at the time. Embarrassed the F430, the 911 TT, Lambo....3.5 sec 0-60 and low 11's@123-125mph. Some guys even got into the 10's bone stock. To me, this is the best vette ever. Its light weight, is a clean, good looking design, manual tranny, big NA engine, great handling, and very fast. The power after 4500RPM is explosive. I plan on getting another one in the near future and this time, its not going anywhere.
This is probably the best C6 review I’ve seen. No one ever covers the cylinder head issues or the skip shift function (most people get rid of that). Another thing to watch out for is the wobbly ass harmonic balancer that always fails across multiple GM platforms. Fix that while doing the heads! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it.
🙏
The cylinder head issue was recently very well covered by C&S Corvettes. Owning a 06 Z06 has me paranoid because of the internet and it’s being blown out of scale.
Mines got 60k kms on it as it’s a USA in Canada so I miss out on that amazing 320 kph dash. But what an amazing car. Horrible seats but amazing car.
Savagegeese.
@@TheSurfRyder C&S is a dedicated Corvette channel so it’s not surprising that he’d mention it, but a channel like this hitting the finer details of the car rather than just broad strokes is refreshing. Also, the paranoia is warranted. It’s a well documented issue and if any mods are planned addressing it is critical. Throtl just did a C6z build without doing the heads or research and it’s pretty much a guaranteed time bomb. I have a 13 GS, balancer started wobbling within 5k miles of daily driving it lol. The issues are real.
@@dailydriven991 Depends. My GS is on 98k miles with absolutely 0 issues except a melted radiator fan connector. OG harmonic balancer
This is awsome. The c6 is my favorite generation of corvette and the z06 in yellow is the pinnacle for me. Can't wait for the rest of this series. Good job and keep it up!
I love the unpacking of sensibilities that comes along with a slightly older more antiquated machine.
I’m excited to finally watch new quality videos on this car. I’ve owned my Zo6 for two years and it’s been a blast. Not much modification and it kills some pretty serious new supercars
Great choice, can't wait to see the rest of the build series!
I see C6 Z06, I click.
That will always be one of my top 3 cars ever.
Super stoked for this series! Awesome job guys!!
So stoked for you guys! This thing is Badassed! I’ve been wanting one for a while and I’ll be paying attention to what you guys do.
This is truly my dream car, when I was young I could never have afforded it now it's impossible to find one in a good condition for a fair price 😭
SO looking forward to this series! Beautiful car!
Eagerly waiting for the next video in the series. I have a 2009 C6 Z06 with a Stage 2 Katech. It jumped from about 440 rwhp to 550 but still very drive-able outside of the track. If you're doing engine work i would definitely recommend addressing the valve issue if nothing else for peace of mind.
Literally love all of your content. The corvette dad get up keeps getting better the longer you look at it. Excited for more build videos like this!
I love these series where you guys build different cars. Can’t wait to see where this Z06 goes 😁
I have a C6Z which I use as my DD, these cars are epic! I'm excited to see it on the channel. Anyone who's never driven one owes it to themselves to do so!
That shot of the white tube socks though
Seeing you guys transition from bros to dads in front of my eyes is *astounding* and it is not lost on me how much you're leaning into it to good effect
C6 Corvette fits nicely with this bro-->dad theme too
🤝
Ha ha, Two men in jean shorts usually not going in the right direction, but it's a car technology channel, and I own a C6 Z, so I have to watch.
I daily a 07 c6 base these cars are amazing and I'm super excited to see what you guys do with yours and to watch the fun yall have in it. Looking forward to the next video keep up the great work Jabuk & Yuri.
Hell yea, been my dream car for years, cant wait to watch the rest of the series!!
Can't wait to see how this turns out and man great find congrates!
This is amazing guys! Grats on being able to get one for the channel. Hellyeah!!
I love the genuine excitement in this video! What a series this will be!
C6 Corvette is the best value for a modern Corvette. It’s going to be a classic, no doubt. Even the base models -It’s design is simple & beautiful, it sounds great, drives great, and is fast. Have fun!
i think this model still looks great and will always look great
Agreed! The last gens with a proper vette taillights
Value for these cars will continue to rise! When gas cars stop being sold, these will be our generation’s “muscle car”
@@haziqar1672 for sure thats why the vette his the best sports car to buy used cause whatever year you will buy the car his gonna look good even the c4 and their not to expensive on the markert so you dont need to buy a new one
I think that the C6 Vette is the most Vette looking Vette of all of the Vettes.
@@acebrawler i love all the genarations for me their his not one model thats ugly but c4 and up are my favorites
this is the type of fresh content i've been craving lately, thanks fellas
This is the kind of content that keeps me coming back to yall. Very entertaining and sets you apart from other channels.
Bringing the 90's vibe with those jean shorts boys! Great new show👍🏽
One of the best videos you guys made… C6 for life
Found you guys a couple months ago and I can say you have quickly made it to the top of my car channels quickly! Woohoo for you! lol. I almost want to sell my C5 Z06 now. This didn't help me at all. What an amazing engine! Can't wait to see the mods.
Any z06 is cool. We looked at getting a c5 z06 and doing a twin turbo kit...but went with this instead
@@TheStraightPipes Agreed, both good choices. But I am sure this LS7 is gonna be a "bit more powerful" when you two are finished. Heck, maybe do a C5 Z too and build it up and see what you get. That would be a neat comparison.
So awesome guys, I can't wait for more episodes! This is one of my favorite 'attainable' driver's cars. I have a C5 Z06 with a hand-built/purpose-built LS7 making about 750 HP and it's just an unbelievable feat of achievement from GM.
You have a C5 Z with an LS7? Sweet!
I'm really stoked for this series! I have a 2009 Z06 in the same yellow color, curious to see where you guys end up taking the build, maybe it will inspire me too :)
If you have a chance to film the engine mods (I'm assuming heads fix as well), I'd love to see that, as mine is completely stock aside from a mild2wild exhaust switch and I got some ridiculously high quotes (US ~$7K for heads + cam) for stuff that can theoretically be largely done by a savvy owner
Gotta love that yellow! Once it's built, time to go to Cali and benchmark against both Donut's Hi-Car and Lo-Car!
C6Z is one of the most rewarding cars I have ever owned.
The LS7 is just magical.
Wait till you see what we do with it 🤯
Never let anyone tell you the z06 is not nimble. Hehe
@@polywoggins handles like its on rails
Só happy for you guys! Congratulations
I love this channel you guys keep up the good work these segments that you’re doing are really fun especially when you look at the trajectory the car companies are heading in with electric cars and everybody knows there’s nothing fun about those vehicles
Gotta buy all the 7L V8 and make them even faster 😈
I own a 07 Lemans Blue Z06 and love it. Can't wait to see what you guys do to yours. I see the Frankenstein heads...
Awesome choice of a car build. One day I would love to own a C6 Z06.
What a kickass car for doing a series! It's one of the cars I'm looking at to replace my '13 Mazda 3 hatch (manual, of course!). I've driven puddle-jumpers for WAY too long! I can't WAIT to see what you two crazy Canucks do to this thing!!
Great car to pick! Hope you get to build it out and and enjoy it. Definitely envy the position you guys are in to get this all done for you!
Oh it's getting built. New episodes every week!!
@@TheStraightPipes so happy for you guys. I bet when you started you never dreamed you could do projects like this. This may be a great way to grow the channel and really learn the ins and outs of doing stuff like this. Congratulations!!
Good purchase, especially sight unseen. 👍 One of my favorite Vettes, along with C2 and C3. 💛
Hell yes!!!! I’m stoked for this build series
This is gonna be a blast of a series
Dream car (not yellow lol).
The mics really pick up the droning. I enjoy the videos where you guys get stoked about buying a new car.
That’s a sick Corvette the build on that it’s gonna be amazing I think this is the most excited I’ve seen you guys for a build so I know it’s gonna be good can’t wait to see it
It's all about the epic engine with this car. It's awesome.
Yellow C6 Z06 is THE quintessential Corvette in my opinion! Fantastic choice. "This is totally what I've been missing from modern cars. This is what we've been chasing, but it existed the whole time!" Love it, Jakub!
Very excited to see what you do to the engine
Dope video! Can't wait to see more.
After watching Savage Geeses video on the C6 Z06, I’ve been really eyeing these. Great choice guys
First time I actually go in to check one of your sponsors. Really like the ebay Garage. Way to go guys! Keep up the good work!
Is this real?
Love this car. One of my dream cars. They do have a few issues, but they are still awesome cars. Can't wait to see more you guys.
absolutely love you guys and the recent content hi from newzealand
Matching jeanshort outfits made my day. Shout out to you bloody Canadians
Your Corvette guys now! Congrats! A 1978 Anniversary two-tone silver was my first Corvette!
One of your best videos... The C6 Z06 is Epic !
Love this car, excited to see what’s next! Dont whimp out!
You did not “buy” this car…you *rescued* it!
this is some amazing content guys!
The dad shoes and shorts make this. so amazing keep this type of feature series stuff up
I picked up a 07 with 1700 miles on it in 2021 before the market exploded so blessed to have got it at the perfect time!!! Just rolled 5800 miles on it will start my engine mods soon, I really love these cars can’t wait to see what y’all do with it 🤙
This is amazing!! Lucky guys!! Have fun 😃👍
Loved watching you guys rip in this thing! Can't wait to see the mods you do to it. Back to the video.
The mods are so sick
@@TheStraightPipes I could never own a stick shift car due to medical issues with my feet but this video makes me want a Zo6 even if I am just a passenger in the car lol!
It was funny hearing Mat from Car Wow giving Straight Pipes a shout out for the visor test on his Ford lightning review
Mat is a legend
Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
I test drove this exact car in April in red deer Alberta, super cool to see that you guys bought it
Thanks for not buying it lol
I am so excited for this series!
Hey Jakub, the fuel gauge is at the bottom right just in case you have a tough time finding it 🤣 Also, hope the rectangle start button suits your style more than the square button from the Camaro.
So much better in here eh
This is great job! 💯
I put Borla Atak's and never regretted it. Probably one of the best sounding exhaust and zero drone in the cabin.
I have the same on mine and it drones horribly at 1800-2000rpm
@@TheTmshuman 🤷♂️ I have long tubes, xpipe no cats, all 3” and when I cruise in 6th on the highway around that rpm I don’t have any issue.
@@Photobombin strange. Maybe it’s my cam.
@@TheTmshuman maybe I have a mild BTR stage 2 cam.
Also love from Africa Zimbabwe I love your content I watch it all the time
Can't wait to watch the Z06 build.
I can't wait to see what awesome content will come from this.
The design has aged well.
the entire design still looks great, apart from the body colored headlights imo. i always thought they looked kinda weird (black c6s don't have this problem).
Great job guys ... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE
I'm at the point where I just like the video before it starts. Keep it up guys!
Thanks!!
This is so sick! keep the content coming! i even watch videos of cars i hate thanks to you guys. Keep buying more cars!! i promise i will keep using ebay motors.
Hahah new episodes every week on this car
@@TheStraightPipes Thank you! A lot of teasers in this videos so looking forward to them.
This was my dream car as a kid. I think I just fell in love again.
Love these series!
Very nice will keep any eye on this series.
Like button smashed immediately after opening montage!!
Awesome!
Didn't know you guys are golfers! You should make a golf meetup. I'd drive up to Toronto from OH for that!!
After searching everywhere for lugnuts for my Chrysler 300. I remembered you guys and gave eBay motors a try.
And found oem brand new ones for 100$ including shipping and processing.
Satisfied.
Thank you
Yall are living the dream!
Not only do I love the car but props on the Datejust too
Exhaust sounds amazing
Great choice. I had a C5 Z06. Great car for the money even today
Yellow works for flagship sports cars. Looks sweet and looking forward to the build! And you need to do an old school Viper review!
Beautiful car boys. Congrats! Btw..that little kph to mph trick with the speedo..GM did that a long time ago. My dad's 1987 olds Delta had that feature believe it or not.
Congratulations 🍾🎉
This is Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Always loved the c6's grats on one!
Just bought a yellow 800whp c5 z06 , 36k km, one of a kind, looking forward with that series
Glad to see your changing it up a bit
My '06 Grand Prix GXP had the same MPH/KPH switch and I still dearly miss my HUD.
great sponsor for ya ! gonna watch this boys !
