As well as a shady, borderline scammy giveaway that is being run by at least three different car TH-camrs all claiming it as their own giveaway and not disclosing any affiliation with each other or even disclosing that Matt farah is modifying 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.
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.
Great suggestions. My C6 LS3 car was tuned and had pretty sharp throttle response and I loved it. My C7 on the other hand was not as sharp and it made a big difference in drivability.
Wow, do I agree with you there! I bought a C6 with just 23k the year before the C7 came out. It had Borla's on it. Serious Drone! Had dealership pull 'em off at purchase. Bought C7 the next year. Kept C6. Then found a 2008 C6Z06 with just 6k miles, with Corsa. Terrific sound!!
@@dailydriven991 just do BC racing BR's and don't touch where they are set (minus the ride height, they sit around 1.5" low from the factory which is huge on the already lowered widebody trims). The dampening is on par with most Koni and KYB inserts for various cars (I have a suspicion they are doing "corporate espoinage"), and the individual springs will get rid of that god-awful crosstalk. I do agree with the rest of his points MINUS the throttle controller and Morimotos. On the throttle controller, I have seen not enough lag worth tuning out, but I am on a C6Z, so different engine, and take that how you will. On the morimotos....well My daily has them, a 3rd gen tacoma. The brake light wire broke mid wire, they refused to warranty it despite them admitting that they had a lot of problems with the first generation of tail lights for it. I fixed it myself by finding the break, shorting the wire length as required and resoldering/reassembling the plug assembly. One of the issues they had was the harness being too long and causing pinching, which is what happened to me. It felt like I was shoving a rats nest of wiring into the tail light mounting area when I first put them in, which was a major red flag/ So I for me, I got some clones on amazon for the fracture of the price, took them apart. Made sure the soldering was overdone, re-assembled them and made sure that nothing loose or the wires were tight/had pressure on them. That being said, the vette rear facia area has a lot of space in it so as long as the cables are managed to where they don't just randomly flop around, the issue should be minimal.
I feel like people are probably supposed to age something like that. Then you add in crazy stressful work for a lot of us, bad food, insane chemicals and pollution and too many other weird things and the average person looks dogged out at 40.
my good friend just bought a C6 as well, so stoked for him to finally have a sick car and join the V8 brotherhood. it's already got cams, headers and an exhaust... sounds incredible!
Unrelated but I saw a 2014-15 Camaro Z28 today and it’s cool af knowing it has the LS7 inside, you can’t go wrong with an LS ever and especially regarding sound
@@TriHarderKenp you’d have to heat the headlamp to soften the adhesive to remove the clear lens and then paint the bezel. Then put the headlamp back together hoping it seals.
The C6 will always be my favorite vette , especially the Z06 and ZR1, they're just so beautiful. While i love the C7 i just like looking at the curves of the c6!
I love red with chrome wheels… 😢 In fact I’ve always loved old man spec. Could do without the chrome door handles and grill but on these older cars I love a nice set of chrome wheels.
This gave me a flashback to the very first TST video I ever saw - Nissan versa vs Matt's c5. I remember Zack saying "I like this lever in the versa that makes a really cool noise" and just yanking the hand brake while driving. Bought a mug - $50 for 12 years of podcasts and videos isn't bad.
😆 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 😃
It's got the Pillsbury doughboy steering wheel. Steering wheels can always be swapped but that wheel definitely brings back memories since my uncle had an 05 C6.
That's a one year only steering wheel. 06 and up had a 3 spoke steering wheel that was used in everything including the Cruze. I actually like this wheel more. The 3 spoke looks even plasticy-er and cheap.
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.
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 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!
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.
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!
It's the same car, the RCR video has the same broken center console and scratches near the handle. the giveaway pages are the exact same for both channels too. I don't think I've ever seen a 'double dip' youtube channel giveaway lol
@@davidib17 The BMW giveaway was the same situation. Same car by both channels. It makes me curious, because they don't mention upgrades on the RCR channel at all. But yes, they're the same car.

This is really sketchy, especially since the person who won this corvette lives in the los angeles area just like the smoking tire
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!
$56 to enter for a $20k corvette is not worth the tax paperwork IMO. I mean I love the concept and excited to see what you do with it but thats the price of most brand new c8 raffles. Also I would have finished building the car before starting the raffle. Just some advice.
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.
Who better than Matt to properly sort a fun balanced canyon car giveaway. I might actually enter because I know it’ll drive so good if it’s to Matt’s standards 🙌🏻
You don’t have to purchase anything. But they continently left you no way to see the official rules. And for some reason they want you to write 25 words on what it would mean to win the car. I have little faith they will include those entries since they hide the official rules from you.
@@Bob_Smith19 they also allowed at least one other group to promote this giveaway using an entirely different URL and without disclosing the connections between TST and regular car reviews. RCR acted like this car was theirs and was staying in the northeast unmodified but then tst has the same exact car and they're modifying it in LA. A guy from LA also won it so.
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.
I bought my Corvette from a man in his early 30's. Not only did the tires have 7 years on them, but the back up tires and rims, which looked brand new, had 8 years on them. Being that the car makes just over 650 and less then 20k miles, i was genuinely suprised lol.
Kinda disappointed you're not going to take advantage of the tunability and aftermarket variety of the LS. Yeah, more costs and maybe emissions issues, but an extra 100hp is enticing.
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?
"I am so excited today for a couple of reasons..." "1- I found another avenue for monetization" "2- these shirts are gonna make me money" "3- this givaway is gonna make me money"
Hey, I'll tell you something 😎 cool about liking "old man spec" being 75 and alive ad in good health, ya I'll drive a car for you. You know how to get a hold of me. MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 💯
Those wheels are nice if they weren't chrome. They're basically stock Work CR Kai's. The chrome would work if this had a drift style look to it like an RX7 on VSKF's
This video is what I like about tst. I have not like the past few video series because it felt like 40 year Olds acting like 20 year Olds. Matt and I are the same age and I like when he acts like who he is,a mature OG content creator.

9 year old tires and chrome are essential on any old man vette
Unless the previous owner threw those boomer spec rims and tires in the garage and put some real wheels on it for 9 years.

PLEASE do a video on how important just replacing old tires are
Underrated take. Best way to improve everything about a used older sports car is updating to modern tires.
I was literally thinking that as well. Anything they talked about with braking or suspension feel could all be due to the old tires
The C6 will always be my favorite vette , especially the Z06 and ZR1, they're just so beautiful. While i love the C7 i just like looking at the curves of the c6!

"2- these shirts are gonna make me money"
"3- this givaway is gonna make me money"
Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Soooo looking forward to this series!
God loves C6s
I just turned 40 and I like chrome wheels now 😂
A nice short shifter is a nice upgrade.
Am I the only one that digs “THE OLD-MAN” spec???
Matt please also share the links to the shops where you will be buying replacement parts so that we can buy them as well! Thank you! Vlad
What happened to the car they did last time ? Did someone cool get it or a contest chaser ?
Hey, I'll tell you something 😎 cool about liking "old man spec" being 75 and alive ad in good health, ya I'll drive a car for you. You know how to get a hold of me. MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 💯
Those wheels are nice if they weren't chrome. They're basically stock Work CR Kai's. The chrome would work if this had a drift style look to it like an RX7 on VSKF's
C6 the ❤
I like the "old man spec", honestly.
I missed you guys making videos in the format this feels like home
Mgw shifter! It’s so amazingly high quality
The LS3 is the one that is preferred.
That color is known as “OMR” Old Man Red. Everytime you see one that’s stock it’s always a boomer. No exceptions
My corvette is best corvette. RARE.
This video is what I like about tst. I have not like the past few video series because it felt like 40 year Olds acting like 20 year Olds. Matt and I are the same age and I like when he acts like who he is,a mature OG content creator.
Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it! Would totally enter, but Florida is not allowed.
Good luck with the project gents. You are in LA, had you not noticed that Hoonigan and Throtle did an ‘06 Z06 with 14k on the odometer…?
But those channels are way bigger than TST and can afford the loses on it. Matt and Zack can't
Bet that Harmonic Balancer got a wobble to it.
disappointed that NYers arent eligible for the sweepstakes. Good looking vette tho and will only look better soon
ZR1 fenders, procharger😮
Steering wheel, Coilovers, seats, and get rid of that glass top.better wheels and tires and you got something.
I'd be the guy to bring a video game to life and paint (via Clarity Coat) Webster's livery from NFS: Most Wanted. The M3 has already been done twice.
