I want a c5 so bad. Ill sub and watch the build!
I was in the same boat about a year ago. Just really lock in and put some cash to the side and itll happen. Good luck with your searching 🙏🏼. Its been a while since ive posted this video and i been tryna get some content for the channel but hopefully ill have some to post this weekend. Thanks for the sub 🤝
Sounds good as hell man 🔥🔥
Thank you 💪‼️
I love the c5 and I’m trying to buy one for myself, and I was wondering how much you bought yours for and from where? Love the car man looks sick
Check the comments and replies. I actually went over this briefly. But basically anywhere from $8k-$25k basically. Just depends.
Beautiful car! Nice to see one that’s taken care of. Save the manuals!
Thank you! 🤝
i was thinking of trying to get one, but I'll love to watch to see if I really wanna get one I'll stay tuned 👍
Cant beat the performance for the dollar but thank you for stopping by. I will hopefully be uploading by next weekend.
Manuals RULE!!
Lol yeah I had to have a manual. Instant deal breaker for me.
Take it for a spin! POV
Plenty of those coming 100% 💪😎
My girl looks exactly the same
Nice, I wasn’t going for a bright red car when I got it but its grew on me since owning it.
@@yisyerry I have the same paint set up and smoked out side and taillights… I just have a black spoiler and a black zr1 lip on the front. I also have my exhaust painted black
Sounds like a clean setup. Ima be getting more visual mods. Just getting started 😎
Great choice. I own a 6 speed Torch Red '99 Coupe, with the same interior as yours. Just hit 46k miles. The anti-venom mod worked perfect. Safe travels and just subscribed!
Nice 😎 but yeah the anti venom mod is really nice. Really changed the feel of my shifter. Safe travels as well. Thank you for the Sub. 💪
C5 and C1 are probably my least favorite looking corvettes, but slowly warming back up to C5's... your red C5 looks AMAZING.
Thank you its gon be sick when im done with it. I like C3-C7 vette’s the most. The rest are eh imo.
@yisyerry yeah same but C1 and C8's are not ugly though... they just look different. C1 just looks like a classic car, which is fine. C2 looks great also, but C3 is when they implemented that "corvette" body and styling that you can see all the way to the C8.
I enjoy using my 2001 C5 as daily.
Great daily-able cars forsure
C5 🔥❤️
Super clean. Looking for an automatic like this one, with black interior.
Lots of autos out there. Pretty easy to see what vettes have been maintained and which ones have been abused. Huge price gap on them too from what I’ve seen a base C5 can go anywhere from 8-~23k. Also depends if you buy privately or from a dealer. Good luck with your purchase tho. 💪
I have the exact same car!
Lol nice. What are your goals with it?
These cars are the biggest bargains in the car world right now. I picked up mine right before covid for $14,700. It had 75k on it then. I've fixed a few things like the actuators and the seat rock. Changed the cam, tires, anti-sway bars. Nice wheels!
Crazy good bargains, and not too hard to maintain em. Also these things sound nice when cammed. Thank you 🤝
@@yisyerry ep. I've done a bunch of stuff like for instance I put additional seat bladders into the original seats making them grip me tighter. Changing the actuators in the middle of the dash wasn't really that bad. You can't have the pass side blowing hot when you have the A/c on! I have subscribed so I'll be following your build. Jim
Cool thanks for your sub. And I never heard of the seat bladder thing. Pretty interesting. Ima look that up.
I like that you literally showed the car the whole time, while going over everything. Pretty much ever single person just yaps while showing themselves for 75% of the video drives me crazy. Nice car, I’m in the market for one and was wondering what did you pay for it?
Thanks for the input I appreciate that. 🤝😂 and tbh you can find these things as low as 8-10k but usually will require work and be higher mileage and probably even salvage title. Mine is a super clean low mileage, its loaded and has a manual. Usually these options tend to make these C5 more expensive. Id look around to see what options you want and find which will be right for you. As for my car I paid in the 20’s. So it shouldnt be too crazy finding one in your budget but finding one with the exact options you want is the challenge. Took me 2 years of off and on searching. Ill be sure to cover this stuff in my next video as well. Thanks for stopping by.
@@yisyerry appreciate the info and that’s what I figured. Same prices as where I’m located as well, personally looking for a clean low miles with a stick. So I figured high teens low twenties for one. I know the 01-04 years are the more desirable ones so I’ve been keeping an eye out for those, but wouldn’t be a deal breaker for an earlier model as well.
@@Broweanyeah you shouldnt have too hard of a time then really. But definitely good to have patience for these kinds of things. And yeah 01-04 are definitely more desirable. Personally i would try sticking with these years or even 02-04. Only because issues that earlier models have had are pretty much fixed. And i believe anything pre-2000 has a different type of smog as well. Good luck with finding your C5 👍
I followed. I need one
Thank for the sub. Theyre definitely hard to beat for the price. Get a lil bit of everything.
I just bought 99 c5 2 days ago. Same color with the black wheels
They’re great cars for the money. Insane bargain. Welcome to the vette family & thanks for checking out my channel. 💪
Bought my 99 laser summer. Awsome aren’t they.
thats a clean looking c5.... ive had a c7 since march and the miles really do stack up when its so hard to not drive it because of how fun
Yeah them miles start adding up fr 😂 but yeah theyre definitely fun to drive. Congrats on the C7 tho 🤝
Welcome to the Vette family! Keep the vids coming!
Haha thank you. Lots in store and lots of videos to come forsure. 🫡 by the way, where did you get your front license plate vent mod from?
@@yisyerry I made my cold air. Recipe: buy a used license plate filler, trim out the center and epoxy in stainless wire mesh. Spray flat black. Use a Vararam bridge. Install K&N (or round filter of your choice, go as long as you can.) I added aero “fences” also and made an open top box for the filter to sit in, isolating the filter from the engine compartment with the hood closed. I used clear Lexan sheet and trimmed it to bend out towards the fenders and gather all the air from the license plate area to “funnel” it into the filter. Kinda hard to describe without a pic. I spent roughly $120 including the filter in all and it makes a big difference when the weather cools down and the speeds go up, I promise! 😎
Nice car bro, I also have one , 2001 pewter with black top convertible 6speed. Hey what size are your tires?
Nice, you almost never see the verts in manual. And i believe its all factory sizing for wheels and tires. Idk the exact specs of the wheels as they were already on the car.
Love it!
Thanks 🤝
Sound good keep it up
Thank you 💪
Nice car we have an 04 C5 modded
Nice 😎 whats done to it so far?
hell yeah bro
Preciate the support ‼️
Nice video man, can’t wait to see the progress you make on it. I’ll definitely be following you along this journey!🔥
Appreciate that. This only the beginning. Like I said in due time this car will be a lot different. 🤝‼️
I forgot to get into why I chose to buy a C5. I’ll be sure to make a separate video on this topic. 🤙
I was going to buy a C6 Z06 and then my car crossed my path. I couldn't pass it up. Now it has 400 to the tire and passes just about everything!
I was looking at a C6 GS LS3. Ultimately went with a C5 tho. But yeah im going to be making big power in the C5 eventually. 😂
Sounds good asf but imma lyk. Some long tube headers would make this thing sound wickedd
I wish, not legal in my state tho. Some shortys will have to do lol. But thank you 💪
@@yisyerry man screw legality. Also, go with the ls6 headers. They come straight off the z06 and are slightly different but would open it up a little more
Ill look into that. I didnt realize the headers were different from ls1. I thought it was basically just heads and cam.
@yisyerry technically it's the manifolds that are different. But the ls3 headers also fit on the ls1. Which those are quite different and would add more power then the ls6 headers. Ls1, ls2, ls3, and ls6 headers all fit eachother.
Dear lord🤤🤤🤤🤤
Gotta thank the lord for letting us experience cool cars 🙏🏼😎
Yeah that’s good
Preciate you 🫡 I might do some carb legal shortys too in the future
@@yisyerry do it it’ll sound awesome with the x pipe
