This series feels like old school TST content, and I love it.

As a former C6 owner, here’s what I found worked really well: - Corsa catback. Sounds great, no drone, perfect fitment - Koni FSD shocks. Really good if you’re going for a daily driver setup. Rode and handled better than stock. DRM Bilsteins are good if you live in an area with smooth rodes, but I found them too soft - Radio with CarPlay. It looks like the car already has some kind of aftermarket radio, but I’m sure there are nicer ones available - Vitesse throttle controller. A weird one, but the C6’s electronic throttle response is so bad that it actually does wonders for the overall feel of the car - Morimoto headlights and taillights. These came out after I had my car, but they make the C6 look ten years newer. I prefer the C7-style front lights.

@dailydriven991

I daily drive a C6 GS and agree with all of this lol. I’m torn between those two exact shocks, decided against coilovers. I did the morimoto tails but kept the factory headlights upgraded to led. Bit about the throttle response is 100% spot on.

C6 are mad underrated

check the harmonic balancer, they are known to fail and possibly "pin" the harmonic balancer to the crank if it needs replaced.

@chickenfishhybrid44

Жыл бұрын

Pinning isn't really necessary on a car without a blower. I've never done it on a vette but i assume it's harder to get in there and do than on a truck.

Def needs the differential addressed if it's an 05 and you're doing any kind of power mods. They got the weaksauce rear end that was fixed on the 06 cars.

As an 08 c6 owner i had to dig down deep and be honest with myself as to how i was going to primarily use the car (99% street with the occasional TNiA sessions). So, the first 3 things I upgraded on my 08 base m6 were user interface things; steering wheel, shifter and stereo. Now it feels like a proper sports car when I drive it. I'll probably leave the exhaust quiet as I like bass in my music. Next up will be bilstiens and z51 bars although colliers are king. I have them on a foxbody track toy (425# f and 375# r) and that car rides way better than the Vette. That said, I LOVE the LS3!

Can’t wait to see the finished product.

‘The paint is Pretty Decent?’ @2:38 Just look at that paint at 2:30 🥶

I really wish these were more common Euro-side, what a noise! Also old man spec>>>>>> Corvette is all you need for a 2 seater; barn sized trunk, good MPG, targa. I absolutely would. Will be cool to see it progress Side note: makes me wonder why the road cam is switched with the interior cam these days

If you guys are doing one takes of older cars or your personal vehicle, you should probably do the walkaround pointing out everything wrong with them just like this in video. I liked that segment.

Watching the 3rd person view, that's some fine driving in the turns. Well done. The NPP exhaust solves the under 3k drone.

😆 We bought our '12 C6 which was a one owner that had a manual transmission with only 10k. It still had the original run-flat tires, with a ton of tread, but they were ROCK HARD with zero grip! We have Michelin PS4s tires now and this car is absolutely amazing 😃

I miss your C5. This videos are still awesome.

I look forward to this series. Love Corvettes.

I like this project! Remember seeing you in your C5 back in Greenwich, while carspotting all the exotics around there. Always been curious as to why you've never gone for the Z06 variant?

Nice! Maybe a short shift kit and some front camber adjustment too! I'd imagine switching the mag ride would shed some weight as well.

Old man spec. My uncle (pushing 80) had this exact spec, but without the aftermarket exhaust. Only one of his Vettes I ever got to ride in. Wish it was the '63, but fun nonetheless.

That color combo is great. A very appropriate red for this car.

If you could do a Corsa Exhaust on this, it would be mega! Easily one of the best sounding systems on any LS. Very excited to see the finished progress!

Has a nice steering wheel too. Not the cheap bulky one.👍

I daily drive a C6 Grand Sport in New England and it’s by far one of the best cars I’ve ever had. Comfortable, fun; pretty good mpg’s, tons of trunk space, easy to maintain, and looks gorgeous. Eats up highway miles and attacks backroads and autocross with the same tenacity. 05 is obviously the worst year for C6 but still, terrific platform. Check the harmonic balancer and even if it’s not wobbling, replace it with one of the good aftermarket ones. Also have someone check the diff and I guarantee that’s a Billy Boat exhaust. Classic old man spec. Even without mods, a good tune will do wonders for abating GM’s atrocious Torque Management programming and throttle response. With a few interior updates (I did steering wheel and a full carbon radio bezel/console) it’s a pretty great place to be. Enjoy!

Will the chrome wheels be included Incase the winner wants a second set of wheels? ie for some snow tires if needed in an emergency?

exact car. very shady. someone in LA won it as well.

As someone that spent almost their entire adult life in LA (from 21 to 42...45 now) like most Angelenos I have I love/hate relationship with the city. As it sadly deteriorated over the years to the awful state it's in now, the hate aspect outweighed the love and I finally had to GTFO. But whenever I see drives on Angeles Crest, Big Tujunga, etc. I'm instantly brought back into the love mode. The countless drives up there, each one always distinct, testing limits in different ways, in different places....seeing things you'd never seen before even after hundreds of drives...all just 20-30 minutes from my door in Echo Park (the 2 is the magical freeway in LA that hardly ever has traffic!) There's nothing even close to it in any other major city, and no matter what else absolutely SUCKS about Los Angeles, there's the amazing things like genuine mountain/canyon drives literally right above the city that, well, how can you not miss? And you guys always shoot it so well...my heart breaks a little bit from not being able to jump in the 718 Cayman and rip up some road, and make some new memories. You guys get that the love of cars and driving is about way more than just cars and driving. Cheers and thanks for the excellent work.

The GetEnteredToWin link shows a mug that says "Kunkelman Chevrolet," which, with no offense intended to Matt, I'd argue is more amusing than Matt's face, but also one of RCR's jokes.
