I am a Ford guy just like the other person chiming in. The C5 is like a fox body Mustang or a 19 64 1/2 to 66 Mustang some cars just hit the fun factor and they are priceless.
Cheap and easy power n fun. On the hunt for a red with targa top, 6 speed. Getting harder to find at a decent price! Beautiful corvette! Beautifully done on a budget 👌🏼
Nice little video and the car sounds good. The only problem that I have is burning the tires up. I guess at my age I have come to appreciate the cost of performance tires. And I have raced SCCA for 15 years so doing this on the street is more dangerous, damaging than on a track. I still applaud you for enjoying, upgrading and driving your Vette.. I say- Drive. Smile. Wave.
Holy shit i know exactly where you're at. When i was in highschool i worked at blackrock retreat and used to whip around on the same roads in my miata on my lunch break.
The C5 is my favorite generation of Corvettes. Hope to maybe own one someday. Awesome setup and driving. What state is this, because that scenery is amazing. I'm from NYC so I don't see the countryside often
Surprised you have the C5 shifter. Look into the C6 shifter. Feel great in the hand, the shifter rod is shorter and it has a 15 degree bend to where it’s angled towards you. Big improvement. I did the mod with the washer on the detent ball and it was a big improvement.
If I were to do it again, I would get solid shifter box mounts or the two piece shifter box mount that sandwiches the rubber isolator better. The rubber mount is “meh”.
Is your HUD broken? I just spent all of Saturday installing one in my C5 as my car was too early in the model year of 1999 to get one. I mounted the HUD, put in a different gauge cluster, tested it six ways to Sunday as I was installing to be sure I didn't have to take the whole damned thing apart, etc. It works great. I like gizmos so this is perfect for me. Like your vids. Well edited . The best edit if I may. I like your style. This car rips!
nice looking and sounding great. beating on that ole girl for sure. love my 03 Z06, built and procharged at 685 hp, she loves taking down Hellcats on freeway rolls.
Fuel isn’t really the biggest problem with these it’s possible to get 34 mpg with grandma driving but stepping on the gas will get you lil more then 16 mpg also these are really cheap to maintain I’ve done my fair amount of research and insurance isn’t bad since it’s a lot older of a car
@@teddypelzl7537 i drilled a hole in the brim of a hat and attached a gopro mount upside down, then I wear the hat a little higher then usual so the gopro is kinda resting on my forehead 😂
I think if I had a SLP catback that was straight it would shoot flames but even though my catback had no muffler it still curves around. But it has been really reliable!
Guys living my dream. Tap dancing c5 on country back roads on a bright sunny day. Love it.
Day is better for country back roads and night is better for empty highways
You're having too much fun with this car to sell it.
I didn't think u had a response

No doubt!
I always come back dang near monthly to hear this C5 in particular. Still the best sounding one on TH-cam in my opinion.
Right on, thanks man
God save the Manual transmission!!!
I'm a Ford guy but I do like some Corvettes!
Im a Corvette Guy, but Hands Down, the best sounding Engine in this World is a Ford 351, and a Ford GT.
I'm a car guy so I like Fords and Chevys

For sure! This one will be on the market soon!
Great driving! Watched your cam install vids too, very helpful and easy to follow.
Thank you! Glad it helped!

INCREDIBLE sound!!!!!!!!!!
The car that made me like corvettes 🫡🤝🏾

would bet money on the retention time on this video being pretty high
Sounding good! Missing these types of roads. Reminds me of home. Sub'd for support!
Right on brotha! Thanks!

This car rips!
The HUD works but I dont use it during the day that much. Nice job man! Thanks for watching!
literally cant wait til i get a c5
For not a lot of money,you get a fast car
Love how the stockers look dipped without the center caps. Did you need longer wheel studs using the 20mm spacers?
Thanks man. I had to cut the factory studs down a little
nice looking and sounding great. beating on that ole girl for sure. love my 03 Z06, built and procharged at 685 hp, she loves taking down Hellcats on freeway rolls.
Right on dude haha. Thanks for watching!
2 tone it my guy trust you’ve love it
Wish I got the 6spd manual
The cow at 4:42 was watching human/powerful machine behavior....
HA this is great
man what a great video
Hi its my dream buy this car.
How much money does it take to use this car every day? during the year? insurance and maintenance? Fuel?
Fuel isn’t really the biggest problem with these it’s possible to get 34 mpg with grandma driving but stepping on the gas will get you lil more then 16 mpg also these are really cheap to maintain I’ve done my fair amount of research and insurance isn’t bad since it’s a lot older of a car
Nice work Jimmy!
Thanks buddy!
What camera mount are you using I’ve been trying to shoot some pov videos myself
@@teddypelzl7537 i drilled a hole in the brim of a hat and attached a gopro mount upside down, then I wear the hat a little higher then usual so the gopro is kinda resting on my forehead 😂
@ love it 😂 I might need to get a hat and do the same with my Osmo Action 4
throw a c6 shifter in there. makes a hell of a difference.
Idk manuals what would that do ?
Right on ill have to look into that!
@@invalidusername_5101 shortens the the throw of the shift.
Or just put a real aftermarket shifter like mgw and dont even bother with oem stuff
this looks like Strasburg area awesome car.
Sure is!
what you do for that type of ride height setup and what’s the tire size?
Maxed out lowering bolts and stock sized tires. 275/40-18 rear and 245/45-17 front
I can’t ever own this once that adrenaline kicks in I get the tism and my career is over 😂 🚛
Great POV, is the camera on superview?
Thanks man! Yeah it was
nice whats your cam?
Beautiful 🤩 vet
Thank you!
sounds just like my baby love it
what the rear exhaust model?
1:39 sick donuts
🤙
Stock exhaust manifold? Or long tube headers?
Speed Engineering long tubes
🔥🔥🔥
Mann this video needs to be longer 😂😂
Yes. More of this.
Dude Has a v 10- 3300hp Viper n gets schooled by a V-6 GTR! Do tell I'm curious?
God damn i want a manual so bad 😭
Do you think you are shooting flames with this setup? And is it reliable?
I think if I had a SLP catback that was straight it would shoot flames but even though my catback had no muffler it still curves around. But it has been really reliable!
Why the fuck do you want to shoot flames? Id hope its reliable it has cam and exhaust not exactly modded like crazy
@@JeepinJimmy nice very cool either way
What would I give to have my car sound like this😫
How bad is the drone?
No drone anymore!
No drone anymore!
Never sell this car and please continue making these pov drives I wanna do this some day aswell
I will make videos on the Vette as long as I have it!
Niceeeeeeeeee
Wow
driving her like shes supposed be , great video brother
You know it! Thanks dude🤙🏼
Ya nice! R 3:58 ide to bad no Vette Viper can beat a tiny 6 cyl Gtr! TX2K24 ! Stay home!Gtr's schooled all UGR had to give!
My brother in Christ are you okay?
So a GTR at $60.000 vs a corvette at $25.000 is a fair fight? Lets put $35.000 in performance parts into that corvette and lets see who wins...
Like the way you drive it. ! HELL Yeah!
To be honest if u threw that kinda cash @ a Vette. N a GTR? A V-6 u would lose dramatically! Sounds great tho
Nice Vette tho
OOOOFFFFFFFF
my turn
Take er for a rip!!
Don't Sell it I have w Bmw's 5 speeds of course n they don't sound like this monster!
Oh Really, find a 25k vette n dump the same $ in. N You will still lose ask the Viper boys
Awesome driving, awesome car
Thanks🤙🏼
