I'm curious what year this C6 is? I'm guessing the previous owner would have addressed the possible head issue in that the mods done appear to be spot on? All I can say is this ZO6 is Masterful Overstatement of Subtlety and was well bought! 👍👍. Save the Waves Guys.🙋♂🙋♂
A lot of people are scared to death to buy modified cars which can be justifiable. A little knowledge goes a long ways. This is one car where I'd whish it to have aftermarket heads out of the gate. I'm guessing this car is squared away since it looks to have AHP heads on it.
Aesthetically, yes. It has the popup headlights, the C6 has a more modern interior and updated engine lineup. Only thing I don’t like about the later gen Corvettes is the electronic door handles, very stupid design.
All C5 & 6 Z's are a blast to drive, especially modded. I have an 09 built by Lingenfelter and respect must be given when driving these awesome Vettes.
I was really hoping you bought this car Toys lol. I almost bought a C6Z in 2019 for 34k with 17k miles on it. I would have needed to take out a full loan on it at the time and and that was counter productive to our goals. Congrats to Ben and his C6Z
C6 is a much better package. Yeah, I know they are largely the same chassis but I prefer the interior and shorter design with the C6 so that’s how I personally went.
I think they are fairly close. I would say if the LS3 and the visual appeal of the C6 interior and body are your preference then the C6 for 10k more might be worth it. The C6 Z06 is a whole different beast. Make sure the head issue is resolved and it is a fantastic machine!
Great video. The c6z with full bolt ons should absolutely be in the 600 rwhp range with a decent tune. Tune might be off per your analysis. Thanks again for some great entertainment and info.
@@markmartin7384 for some reason I didn't see that it said 600whp. A fbo z06 will not make 600whp. I wasn't saying a cam was a bolt on, just adding what mine made.
Man I fell in love with this car back in high school 2012 , the midnight club LA video game. Also the 2010 Camaro SS. That's when I realized to put video games and junk food down and get to work..
Great video. As a newer owner of a base 2009 C6, it was interesting to see a C6 Z06 video from the best C5 YT source. Looking forward to your upcoming c5 vs C6 Z06 drag race video.
The C7 Z06 is more refined than the C6 Z06. And I’m sure the C8 Z06 will be more refined than the C7. The question will be, will the C9 be a combustion engine or electric.
@@craigthescott5074 well obviously. But many compare the c5 and c6. To me those cars are miles different and not even a comparison. Anything performance car that is electric, I will never buy. Waste of money imo. Manual trans, cam, loud mean sound, raw. That's what I want. I don't feel manly hearing a space ship when I put my foot down. I think going electric is hilarious and it will reverse In the future.
@@craigthescott5074 burning fossil fuels either way. You're just trading one problem for another. Only pro of electric is it lessens (maybe) pollution.
That is one BEAUTIFUL Z06, sounds just the way I like my cars to sound, naturally it's because of what's internal but man I'd take it in a heart beat. Get it? Chevy, the heartbeat of America? LOL😄
If I could change one thing about my c5 it would be the dash, I love the c6 dash and instrument cluster. The c6 is a lovely looking car but they took away the pop up lights and to me that's the best feature on the vette.
@@Toys4Life the one huge ac vent and the oh crap handle to me is just off on the c5 dash. I know the oh crap handle is iconic for the vette but I like the c6 dash better.
I am VERY curious to see what sort of 60' times he will be able to pull with those giant rollers. Being as how it will be the same track on the same night that will tell me some really good info!
Thank you - I agree. The tasteful mods the previous owner did to this car are simply beautiful and the sound is pretty awesome too. Maybe I need to cam my C5........ It never ends! How is the drivability on your BTR S4 cam and are you m6 or auto?
GENTLEMEN.... AMAZING JOB.... REALLY YOU DOING VERY WELL.... GOOD LUCK PLZ MORE VIDEOS CONCERNING THIS CORVETTE TYPES.... I'M GONNA ASK YOU... ANY (POSSIBILITY).. TO GET 85O HP (ACTUALLY).... FROM YOUR SIDE. PLEASE WHAT ABOUT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS... ???????.
Hey, I love this c6z06 setup! I heard him say that it has kooks headers and a full exhaust, but do you happen to know what exhaust it is? It has Corsa tips on it according to some other comments in here, so I'm assuming it's a Corsa full exhaust. Maybe sport? It doesn't sound like an extreme to me, but it's tough judging by video. Any info is appreciated, and nice video!
Those c6z always detonate like that. Shouldn’t be pulling timing at 17 degrees but sometimes they do. My guess is they milled the heads and put a kind of small cam with a tighter lobe separation making the dynamic compression high for pump fuel. Any build specs?
AHP package 4 heads (not sure if they were milled and if so, how much was removed). Cam 225/242.4 118 LSA. We are hoping his gas was a little stale and a fresh 93 octane fill will cure it. Appreciate your comments sir!
I did a little math, had to guess for some of it so could be off a tinny bit. But that cam with 11:1 is like 8.34:1 dynamic and 9.09:1 if the heads are milled to bump static to 12:1. That would be the limit for pump gas. Should be fine. You probably have old or cheap fuel in the car. Take a compression test and see what you have. If it’s over like 195-200 that’s going to be hard to keep from rattling the pistons
Love all generation Zs, but let's be honest, it all comes down to personal preference. If all generation Zs were the same price, everyone would be in the c8z. We try to convince ourselves that one generation is "the best" but it's a formula of price, comfort, speed, driving connection, purpose of vehicle. I chose a C7z because it is the most updated one within my price range and has a bunch of power/cost to mod is cheaper than other cars in the price range, and is a manual/t top. You can't convince someone that has a 30k budget that a 70k c7z is better than a c5z. And you can't convince someone who has a 70k budget, who can afford a c7z that a dinosaur like a c5z is better than a c7z.
I see your point and can't comment directly because I've never driven a C7Z. Then having been said, there are more than a few with the means that have upgraded to the C7Z and have found themselves coming back to the C5Z because for some it's perceived to be a much more raw sports car feel. So I think even that depends on what your preferences are. I'll report back when I have the chance to own a C7Z (:-) appreciate the comment sir!
I am going to be curious to see what kind of 60' he can cut. Same track, same day, my narrow Firestones vs his 325 Michelins! I am lucky if it can cut a 2.0 seconds flat.
@B B yeah at first I thought it was weird that a Corvette being so low to the ground would have running boards. I get it now running boards only help the aero when the vehicle is low to the ground brah 👍

Are you guys in Rock Falls Illinois ?
I’m thinking of putting a pro charger on my 2010 C6
Sorry, Rock falls Wisconsin. Not that far away.
You ARE lying (to yourself at the least) that the c5 is a better car than a c6. It is not.
hey sir, not lying to anybody. Take a look again at the clip again, there was a note that flashed on the screen.
@Toys4Life C5 all will be swell when people learn to read the description just throwing it out there
Lol.
They are definitely more bulletproof, but not as pretty or fast

Thanks Steve! It is a good thing I didn't come across this before Ben did. I would have given it very serious thought that is for sure!
Prob should have jumped on that they're significantly more now aren't they
Bought my 2011 z06 in 2020 for 32k with less than 23k miles..

Thanks for taking the time to comment - glad you liked it!
Eh , coulda just been made for the builders power preferences. I do agree though, definitely a lot of room to grow
Ya I agree. My z06 is at 527whp with just a cai, and cam.
A cam is not a bolt on

Stunning vette with tasteful mods. The C6 Z06 is a future classic and toy4life. Love the channel btw. 😀

I’ve owned or currently own every generation of Corvette except a C1 and a C6… I need this car.
It is a thing of beauty and a beast at the same time for sure!
If I had this car at 22 years old I’d be the Poster child for the song Wind beneath my Wings
I have a C6 Z06! Basically it is a piece of art in my garage!!! My wife is constantly on my ass to sell it!
Can you get the marriage annulled?
Lol! There have been times every man has thought that I’m sure!
I'm a chevy guy. So whoever wins I will love it. I like any and all corvettes and camaros.😎👍👍
Same, but I absolutely do want to win!
I also have a black C6Z, so I'm biased, but that's one sweet looking vette! Sorry, but win or lose on the race, that C6Z wins either way!!!
Fair enough!
Excellent choice!
Thanks - I think so too (:-)
CLEAN AND NICE WHEELS
Such a beautiful beast!
I wholeheartedly concur!
that is one beautiful C6
Love mine. Just finished up my build I played with all winter. 618whp/544ft lbs. Going to take it a little farther to crest 650whp next year.
That is pretty serious - still NA?
Check out my page gotta few races on there with my C6Z 600whp

Hey, I appreciate the comment and the compliment. Thank you very much!
My all time favorite z06 !! If you add cylinder sleeves, you can add some serious HP with twin turbos.
Mines is sleeved and I'm ready 😅
C6z is the best. So much more refined than the c5. Love my c6z, absolute amazing.

Great as always Ken! We'll see you both on the roads around here this summer.
Sounds good Bryce, and summer has finally arrived!
I had a C5 I enjoyed it and I miss it, but I wish I had a C6 or C7

To be 100% honest, I like both the C5 and the C6 dash. Call me easy... I prefer the pop ups too!
@@Toys4Life the one huge ac vent and the oh crap handle to me is just off on the c5 dash. I know the oh crap handle is iconic for the vette but I like the c6 dash better.

Its not mine - but I think so too!
yall better do that race! cool car man.
Thanks 👍
Is that a half pipe in your front yard at 6:20? that's entirely badass
It was (:-) My son grew out of it.
I love the ls motors .i have a ls3 in my ss sandan an it's bad ass
You could put an LS3 in a chevette, and it would still be badass!
absolutely beautiful.
👍 agreed
Can't wait to see the race!!! Get your self some toyo r888r tires , great overall tire that will hook. He's got a tire size advantage in you.
I am VERY curious to see what sort of 60' times he will be able to pull with those giant rollers. Being as how it will be the same track on the same night that will tell me some really good info!
I’ve got 345’s R888R’s on my 06 z06 with HCI 600whp and they do not hook. Need a drag radial for sure.
They don't hook on street conditions, or prep track conditions or both?
@@gixxer1359 maybe check your tire pressure, l got 651whp c5 z06 305/35/18 and I can hook 2nd gear on the street.
R888r are really good . Toyo also has 888's that look the same but not the R888r
Great video, Awesome car , Maybe I need one...😎🤣
I feel the same way
Definitely the beast
Amen to that!
Wow this car is beautiful!
What's the wheel setup? and a list of mods?
Sounds good but Corvettes never show up when it Matters. TEXAS 24K
?
Doesn’t every car in America sound like this ?
Well, Ya! lol
That C 6 sounds just like my 04 C5 with it's BTR stage 4 cam. That's a beautiful car
Thank you - I agree. The tasteful mods the previous owner did to this car are simply beautiful and the sound is pretty awesome too. Maybe I need to cam my C5........ It never ends! How is the drivability on your BTR S4 cam and are you m6 or auto?

Hi again. Just an after-thought, or maybe I should say an after-question, is the owner possibly thinking of selling?
Not that I know of, are you interested?
The quick reply is "yes." But my "yes" doesn't come with a blank check if you know what I mean. Thank you.
What year and how many miles ?
I may be interested in buying as well
I want to delete these inquiries, I don't want him to sell it...lol
smog it 😚
Me like
Me too!
Someday... #lifegoals
If the right one came along at the right time!
Which is faster? The cammed C6 Z06 or your supercharged C5 ?
If the rain holds out, we're going to find out this weekend. If I had the bet, I would bet on the black one!
The c6 is the best looking and performing front engine corvette ever made. Check out mines
Where did you get the airbag cover from?!!!!
I believe it came from RFE designs.
What spoiler is that & where did you get it ? I want it.
It is pretty sweet- but sorry, the previous owner put it on so I am not sure.
Just make sure you get wider tires! You'll spin alot!!!!!
I am going to be curious to see what kind of 60' he can cut. Same track, same day, my narrow Firestones vs his 325 Michelins! I am lucky if it can cut a 2.0 seconds flat.
What exhaust tips are those?
Corsa 14062 4.5" Custom Tips.
What exhaust is that?
Kooks headers - cant recall the catback unfortunately.
How did you get the car that low?
Coil overs with air lift when needed.
NOW LATER
um... later?
Why does it have running boards? Isn’t that for trucks brah?
This one hauls lumber on the weekends.
@@Toys4Life idk what kind of lumber 🪵 you can fit in a Vette but okay brah do your thing

Seems to rev hard but not go very fast.
Hopefully we'll get back out there this coming summer and try some other things!
It definitely needs a tune it should make a lot more power that what he said it put down
I think we're going to lean it out a little bit based on info from our last trip to the drag strip. That video posted yesterday by the way.
“ cold air intake”
?
Sounds nasty
I think so too!
