I sit and watched this video for 40 dang minutes just to hear the car running and you are right, she sounds great! I just bought a 2003 convertible a week ago and was looking around for some ideas, you do have a very nice car...
This is probably the best video on a C5 Corvette. You have a beautiful machine. I have a 2004 "24-hour at Le mans" . convert w/ 4 speed auto.trans. It's in almost perfect condition. Yours is just as beautiful. You really did an outstanding job on the paint. I live in Washington State and it's my daily driver. I just passed a 100,001 miles. I rarely drive it in the rain. I haven't had any issues with it. All systems are operational. I'm running Bridgestone EMTs.I like your explanation of the traction control and competitive driving modes. This is the second time I've commented.
always noticeable when you've had a 'dry' summer with a below-average amount of rain. the indicator is the lesser relative amount of dead flying insects you accumulate on the "face"
You are the guy I want to buy a used car from!...thanks for the video. I collect my 99 with 50,000 miles in 2 weeks (in New Zealand) and this has provided me a good intro to the car. Much appreciated.
Really well done video on the '02 C5 --- I'm currently looking at a '03 50th anniversary convertible - this video really helped to know what to look for -- thanks
My mom bought a 4-th anniversary when she got cancer. That car would wind up getting rat damage in the wires so she sold it. After she beat cancer a second time and retired, she decided to get the 50th Anniversary . Car is beautiful! I've got a simple c5 convertible that was heavily modded by and NBA Coach. Got it for no more than a standard vette since the mods weren't listed.
Change your oil before you drive it. The oil breaks down from sitting when the car is in storage. You really just want fresh oil in the motor when the car is being used.
as of next mouth i will have drove mine since i got it around the whole year, you boomers can all have a heart attack b/c my C5 has been in the rain and .... snow
Thanks for the great video, I've had my 02 for three years you never stop learning and picking up new ideas for the car. There are shops that rebuild the door modules check the Corvette forum and RUclips for more information.
Good video. Learned a lot. Just bought a black on black convertible 2000 C5 from an estate. Didn’t know a thing about it until I saw your video. It’s in rough shape. Same owner since new and has been sitting for about two years. I have some work to do.
Daaaamn! That exhaust sounds Soooo sweet. Man, that's what I'm talking about and black is my color too! Nice vette. Oh, by the way... good presentation.
Competitive mode means active handling is on and traction control is disabled. The lighting on the display is illuminated by 2 black lights. One behind the HUD controls and one behind the DIC controls. The floor pan is a composite aluminum plates sandwiching balsa wood. I always use the twilight centennials. The teflon gears will eventual wear out and will need to be replaced. They make a brass gear which will last for the life of the car. I suggest getting a door sill cover to eliminate the shoe marks. The top will wear at the bottom exterior corner if you do not lift the top from rubbing the interior trunk boot. As you lower the top, watch the bottom exterior top brush against the interior boot that covers the area above the rear wheel well. When putting the top down, first push the button under the tonneau cover. I caution and recommend this because you may in the process get interrupted to open the truck while the top is up. Popping the trunk will prevent the tonneau cover from opening because the tonneau cover will bang against the trunk lid. So popping the tonneau cover up first forces before you unlatch and lift the top up to swing it to the trunk is very important when following through the processing of dropping the top and keep you from being interrupted to open the trunk because someone whats to load something in the trunk while your putting the top down. Caution, the rear glass seal will eventually fail and the rear glass will separate from the top. You need to buy a super glue to seal this later. There's a video on RUclips about this. Also the components for the active handling can fail later which is controlled by feedback on traction control, yaw sensor, and steering wheel sensor. If any of these fail, you may experience the cruse control disengage while driving the car in the highway. You may also experience the ABS brakes fire at one of the tires causing the car to yaw unexpectedly to the left or right due to errors Active Handling is getting from the failing steering wheel sensor. A failing steering wheel sensor is telling Active Handling the car is turning right or left while in fact it is not. This causes Active Handling to fire one of the brakes to yaw the car to the hypothetical direction the computer thinks you are going from the failed steering wheel sensor. Just be aware that this can occur. Never had problems with my door modules. Daytime running lights are replaced using the small brake cooling vents as access points. You will have to push the brake cooling tubing towards the back and down to clear the hand access to the lights. Like you said, use premium fuel to avoid pre-ignition. If you remember your chemistry, pressure x volume = n x r x temperature. High pressure happens in the combustion chamber because it is a high displacement motor. Any compression ratio greater that 10 to 1 is high compression. High pressure lowers the temperature required to ignite the fuel causing pre-ignition. This means that as the piston rotates to top dead center, as the piston compresses the air fuel mixture, the fuel will ignite early causing a loss of power because the piston has not passed to top of the cycle. This can abruptly push the piston back down before it goes over the top resulting in loss of power. High octane prevents pre ignition and allows the fuel to ignite later so that the piston passes top dead center. Transmission is in the back which balances a 51 to 49 weight ratio. Just some things I experienced on my C5. Purchased mine brand new in 2001. It is a 2002 magnetic red II convertible, tan top. I changed my radio bezel to double DIN so I have a full navigation DVD/Car Play unit. It links bluetooth to any iPhone or Android. Unit also plays the display from any iPhone to the unit display and uses the iPhone Maps as a navigation system. Can duplicate anything on your iPhone to the display on the unit. Play Netflix and youtube on the unit flawlessly. Also allows you to answer calls and receive text messages on the unit. The phone safely tucks away charging in the armrest.
yes, it sounds awesome... only thing about the seats is getting in and out. iv seen a lot a bad driver seats. duct tape on the outside bolster... iv got the lemans 24 hour edition... 04 in blue... love it... your is outstanding...
Great video I have the exact car as yours in a 2004 with 50K miles. Color and all with the exception of an auto trans. I wish I saw this video when I was looking for mine. It would have saved me some online time searching for info.
I'm looking at a 2004 now that is totaled... Guy says will trade for forklift and so happens I work for a Forklift repair & sales company and I have 30 years experience in auto body collision and refinishing and restoration work. Hoping and praying to have a deal done this week. TC Annapolis, MD
I have a 1999 ,34.000 miles bought it last year only drive it in the summer . stays in the garage.. nice mat under it..and a custom made cover for it..Luv my Vette.. It's fast..I named her Janet..
I have the 2002 Corvette convertible. Have the same problem you do. Had to fix right front light, didn't pop open automatically. And now right door won't lock or unlock automatically. Other than that, no problems. I'm surprised you didn't mention the part about there's no dipstick for checking transmission oil. No way to check it unless you lift the car and open screw in back and under the car while engine is running to check fluid! That is the one thing I dislike most of all!
Ahhh I never knew that. I'm looking at a 2004 Vette this week. My son's 07 Mustang is that way, definitely sucks as he's had it 18 months and I've never checked the trans fluid! TC Annapolis, MD
C5 great bang for your buck my friend I run corsa extreme exhaust x pipe & I have 799 heads port & polished & the same Vararam intake & 614 lift cam She scoots too nice ride you can get horsepower out of a C5 fast intake manifold next for me & maybe 120 nitrous Shot & that’s it 💯👊🏽😊✌️
I also have a2002 convertible, yellow, had the same issues with the doors, fixed it for about $7 by changing the relays in the door software , check it out on You Tube, also got rid of those wheels and fitted a set from a 2006/2010 C6 18" front 19"x 10" rear, 20mm spacers on the rear.
Always install an AGM battery because flooded cell will boil out and drip on ECM and wires. Metra sells a double DIN replacement fascia and sister company sells the interface to use factory subwoofers and wiring for double DIN stereo touchscreen.
The LS 1 is not 375 HP. In stock form it is 350 HP and 350 lb ft of torque. The custom intake is maybe adding 10 hp. Billy Boat adds a few more HP too, but not 400. If you upped the size of the throttle body you might pick up another 5hp or so. Your paint looks swirl free and deep. What products did you use to compound, polish and wax with? It looks flawless!
Pretty good for the first video I gave this to my girlfriend she just bought 1 red convertible thanks for the information keep up the good work peace out
That's a very nice video you done there,. And yes the exuast system sounds great. Do your self a favor and leave it as stock as possible..Thanks for the video..
I'd flush the the brakes, clutch, power steering. Diff, trans, coolant. You can get a smooth coupler at home depot for $7 You should LEAVE the old oil in it over the winter and put fresh Amsoil Signature 5w30 in the spring! It just sits in the oil pan. I wouldn't store new oil in the car. Eagle F1 Tires are terrible! I'd get a non run flat asap! R8888Rs hook up much better. Active handling does nothing. Only if you hold that button down for 5 sec, in competitive driving, that turns traction control off on the rear wheels, but leaves active handling On, so the car will brake for you in corners to keep the car straight. To get in the car put your left leg in first. The stock seats are just about the worst thing in that car, besides the shifter. C6 is a cheap upgrade for a shifter, MGW's are nice. I'd like to watch accordion lessons over this. Enjoy your car!
Great, informative, no nonsense video! Do you still own the car? Have you had to replace the harmonic balancer, due to the rubber in between deteriorating? You take great pride and care of your car. When I get my Vette, I will be getting that awesome exhaust! Thanks for the video.
I agree completely with MrBizike, the oil should definitely be changed when you're ready to start driving the car again, not before putting it away for the winter, it serves no purpose at that point . After sitting for 6 months you would want to change your oil whether it's been driven or not... on something like your Vette that you obviously care about. Oil does degrade over time as well as other factors such as moisture and humidity contamination. If the car is your baby and you want to go over the top then you could change it before putting it away and then change it again in the spring before you resume driving.😍 TC Annapolis, MD
Picking up my 03 50th AE convertible in a couple days. Great tips, thanks. My only complaint is I'm literally nauseous from watching this due to all the fast moving of the camera. I'm guessing you're hyperactive and just can't hold still or move slowly. Maybe use a gimbal to stabilize your camera if you must move around so much/fast. Also, a parts list in the description would be good. Really interested in doing an intake and exhaust conversion and have heard some good things about the B&B brand. Not sure I've heard that much about the intake though. Do you have a model or part number on that? I'd like to do some research on it.
Nice video, very informative. I'd like to ask about the steering wheel emblem. Mine has the Corvette emblem embossed not the better looking emblem like yours. Wonder what it would take to add it.
Great video for the new owners. About the front, side and rear grill add on. I wonder if it those anything on the performance other than looking great.
Man i totally want one Mt conv. in black, blue or red ... or yellow... haha i just love them Sadly they are very rare in germany Until i find a good one i have to stick to my e92 335i
I really enjoyed your video! I have a 2004 triple black convertible purchased it in 2012 still running fine. I learned a few things i.e. greasing the weather stripping, the blue tooth receiver, and antenna override system. Do you still own the 02 Vette?
No unfortunately I sold it, but it went to a really nice couple that bought it as a retirement gift. I'll have another one someday! Thanks for watching!!!
I have the same model but 01 auto, Bluetooth device work but that à same that current still work even if the car is off, it's kinda stupid to disconnect the Bluetooth device each time
Hi Dave thanks for your video. I own a 1999 C5 for half a year now and like it a lot. The HUD and traction control tricks I don't know about. Like the air intake mod. Is it a kit ?
Best C5 video. I have watched so many videos. I am going to buy a C5. Finally a helpful video. Every other video is about how they modified their C5. Thank for explaining the bells n whistles of the C5.
I sit and watched this video for 40 dang minutes just to hear the car running and you are right, she sounds great! I just bought a 2003 convertible a week ago and was looking around for some ideas, you do have a very nice car...
Thank you!
Just got a c5 2 days ago. This helps a lot!
Thank you!

That is the shiniest black C5 I have ever seen.
Thank you!
Nice video. I would love to get hold of a 2003 black coupe. Your convertible looks great. The engine is superb. So clean.
Thank you!

Just now kinda tripped over your vid. One word, EXCELLENT! Save the Wave.
Thank you!
You sound like a very genuine dude. Im in the market for my first vette and this video really is helpful! thanks
Thank you!
Just bought a beautiful yellow c5 (2001) in great shape and I definitely needed this video - great job
I just bought one also. It was hard to find a good yellow one. Mine is the coupe.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video, I've had my 02 for three years you never stop learning and picking up new ideas for the car. There are shops that rebuild the door modules check the Corvette forum and RUclips for more information.

Great info, I purchased an 01 convertible last year but haven't had time to drive it. Looking forward to getting it on the road this year!
Thank you!
Good video. Learned a lot. Just bought a black on black convertible 2000 C5 from an estate. Didn’t know a thing about it until I saw your video. It’s in rough shape. Same owner since new and has been sitting for about two years. I have some work to do.

I second everything you stated.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Some good info. Just bought my 6th corvette, and this one is the most bionic yet. A few of your tips were timely. Thank you.
Thank you!
Nice job on the video, great review. I've had my 2002 Z51 Pewter 'Vert about 15 months and I even learned a few things. The C5s are great cars!.
Thank you!

Awesome video, I am looking at a 2001 C5, and this video gave me tremendous insight about the car in general
Thank you!
Remarkable how much that interior resembles the 2000 Grand Am my wife used to have.....
jchast1980 yeah, GM saves money by using parts across their lines. That's the same radio I had in my 97 z28 also.
Thank you!
If you want to add an aftermarket radio you just need the harness from Metra Axxess. No cutting or splicing and everything works great. 😃
WHERE CARE I BUY ONE?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks very much for the video. Appreciate your attention to detail. Great information. Enjoy your car. Save the wave!!
Thank you!
Great video! I'm looking at a 97 with 30,000 miles on it. Red with black rims.. Hard top. $ 9,000
Stay away from the 97 to 2000.Trust me..They don't make the ecmb board..code of death..research it
2002 is the best year im a happy owner of a magnetic red metalic convertible 2002 black interior snd so happy no problem at all.
Thank you!
The LS 1 is not 375 HP. In stock form it is 350 HP and 350 lb ft of torque. The custom intake is maybe adding 10 hp. Billy Boat adds a few more HP too, but not 400. If you upped the size of the throttle body you might pick up another 5hp or so. Your paint looks swirl free and deep. What products did you use to compound, polish and wax with? It looks flawless!
Robert Henn I thought I read somewhere that it was 375, I was wrong. As far as products, I use Chemical Guys.
The 375 came from torque. 350hp 375tq with 6 speeds
2002 LS1 Engine option is 350HP @5600 / 360 ft lb Torque @4400 (not that it matters - LOL)
Thanks for taking an hour (obv more to edit) to make this video. Extremely helpful.
Thank you!
Didnt edit a thing
Thanks for the In depth Review Bud.
Looking into buying A C5
Thank you!
Pretty good for the first video I gave this to my girlfriend she just bought 1 red convertible thanks for the information keep up the good work peace out
Thank you!
Great video. Very informative and very thorough. Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Awesome! Best Sportscar for under $25k in the world! Looking forward to selling my C4 for a C5 or C6!
Thank you!
Awesome walkthrough...thanks David!
Thank you!
Good video. Thanks. I just bought an '03 convertible.
Thank you!
we are in 2018/11 but im still want like this car :D
I’ll second bro. The desire for c5 Vettes will never die.
Thank you!
Excellent video, I want to get a Bluetooth adapter as well like yours. What do I search for as cannot find anything. Amazing car by the way
Thank you!
That's a very nice video you done there,. And yes the exuast system sounds great. Do your self a favor and leave it as stock as possible..Thanks for the video..
Thank you!
Very informative. Wouldn’t mind the same content with less shaky-cam, but well done!
Thank you!
I'd flush the the brakes, clutch, power steering. Diff, trans, coolant. You can get a smooth coupler at home depot for $7
You should LEAVE the old oil in it over the winter and put fresh Amsoil Signature 5w30 in the spring! It just sits in the oil pan. I wouldn't store new oil in the car. Eagle F1 Tires are terrible! I'd get a non run flat asap! R8888Rs hook up much better. Active handling does nothing.

I'm trying to vision how the heck you get in with your left leg first, unless you live in England LOL?

I'd like to ask about the steering wheel emblem.
Mine has the Corvette emblem embossed not the better looking emblem like yours.
Wonder what it would take to add it.
Thank you!
thx for making this video :D I've been looking for a corvette C5 walkthrough video for ages because i wan't to buy one :)
Thank you!
Great video for the new owners. About the front, side and rear grill add on. I wonder if it those anything on the performance other than looking great.
Thank you!
Very informative video. Very thorough.
Thank you!
Man i totally want one
Mt conv. in black, blue or red ... or yellow... haha i just love them
Sadly they are very rare in germany
Until i find a good one i have to stick to my e92 335i
Thank you!
Very useful info, thanks.
Thank you!
Thanks. I wanted to know all this. Looking into getting one.
Thank you!
How much did you pay for it? I'm convinced I need a Z06, but maybe i should just settle for a 6 spd.
Thank you!

Nice video. Good info. But I don't think that air intake gives 25 more hp.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your video! I have a 2004 triple black convertible purchased it in 2012 still running fine. I learned a few things i.e. greasing the weather stripping, the blue tooth receiver, and antenna override system. Do you still own the 02 Vette?
Thank you!
No unfortunately I sold it, but it went to a really nice couple that bought it as a retirement gift. I'll have another one someday! Thanks for watching!!!
nice car! thanks for walkaround!
Thank you!
Just got myself the exact same car (except Torch Red) Your video ROCKS. Thank You!! What did you say you used for weather stripping protection?
Thank you!

Thank you!
Nice ride👍🏽

Hi Dave thanks for your video. I own a 1999 C5 for half a year now and like it a lot. The HUD and traction control tricks I don't know about. Like the air intake mod. Is it a kit ?

01 and up use the ls6 intake
A tune will wake it up. My buddy did 1 on mine. Advanced the timing and added 8% more fuel. Mid range is way different, it just keeps pulling
Thank you!

When you put longtubes on it its going to be insanely loud.
Best C5 video. I have watched so many videos. I am going to buy a C5. Finally a helpful video. Every other video is about how they modified their C5. Thank for explaining the bells n whistles of the C5.
Thank you!
