If you have a C5 FRC /Z06 OR C6 Z06 it's literally the best bang for the buck..They are great cars..just decent suspension, seat, steering wheel and you have a car good for street and some track time with very little invested..👍🏽🏁
They're a good bang for the buck at purchase. But try to get work done on it, and you're going to pay Porsche money to get it done right and even then there's no guarantee. Granted you could do the work yourself, but these platforms are pretty complex, aside from oil changes/fluids/brakes. Maybe that just my experience but shops in California especially robbed me blind when I was just getting started, and botched my car. They're in it to build their shop cars, not yours.
@@thegosudriverthey’re really not very difficult to work on. The only single thing that’s a little tougher is the trans axle and torque tube but you just unhook the brakes, wiring harness clips, unbolt the rear upper control arms and boom drop the rear cradle.
Found you a few months ago and have been quietly following the content since. Absolutely love the spotlight you shed on grass-root grip enthusiasts and their cars, man. Track drivers don’t get quite the same attention as high hp and drift content, so it’s very refreshing to see! Hop over to our end if you get a chance- just some friends with a passion for DE days, drift events, and creating garage hang memories with projects! Cheers! Slippygrip
I enjoy this guys take on his car and the things he tweaks with to get the enjoyment he is seeking from it. I hope to get enough seat time from mine to be as dialed in as this gentleman. Mine is just a ls3 though. One day I will join the ranks of the z06 crew.
@slashnagy6 a couple reasons: the seating position was better for me in the C6 plus it had more space, i preferred the 6spd manual over the 7 speed, i can upgrade the stock radio on the C6 unlike the C7, i prefer the lighter feel of the C6 and finally i think the C6 Z06 and ZR1 are more timeless than the sharper line design of the C7.
Dan from Harman Motive!?! What a blast from the past! Dan tuned the hell out of my Evo IX. Definitely the good old days. Glad to see he’s racing! Hope to run into him on the track some day and catch up. Awesome build! 👏👏
I love enjoy finding these great channels that are small and growing and you can see in the future getting big. Keep it up. And thanks on the great content.
Awesome insight , just picked up a 2011 carbon and am looking for a few tips on what you would recommend for track alignment, I will be also on the same tire wheel set up ad you , thanks
Vet gets them wet lol!! Idk how u can go wrong with a vet. Don’t matter if ur racing, driving , car shows whatever does it all. Fast on the road corse or drag strip definitely best bang for the buck.
If you had a 2011 thru 2013 with the Z07 Performance Package you'd have carbon ceramic breaks from the ZR1 2011 thru 2013 are the only 3 years that Package was available on the C6 Z06 in my opinion the C6 Z06/Z07 is the best all around Corvette ever made.
@ballard-bt2ts Good question 🤔 not sure about that , I do know the Carbon ceramic breaks Chevrolet uses are the exact same as Lamborghini so they are pretty good they say they are extremely high quality.
@@Sub2club reason why you clean the cradles alumabrite does wonders on rear cradle, but mag have to use muratic acid to get it cleaned to new. All rear cradles on c6s are the same.
Everyone: C5/C6 Z06 are SO affordable. They’re the best option to go racing on a budget. You only need 3 mods to go fast! Actual Z06 owners: I’ve spent $100k on mods, and I still need these 5 things to go fast. 😂
This is just what this particular guy chose to do to his car. All the other corvette guys that show up to track days smoke the jdm and German cars regularly with much less work done. Not sure what you’re on.

@@slashnagy6 I’d much rather have a cookout with my friends in my back yard instead of a dusty parking lot where the air is full of exhaust fumes and brake dust.

Thank you for the follow and kind words! I will definitely check out the channel!
FRC is my favorite c4-c7 Corvette. I hope to buy one soon I think they are close to their maximum depreciation.
C5 FRC has definitely aged well too!
Hell yea!!! Dan is the Man! This car is the best bang for the buck. absolute beast!
Thank you Ryan! Dan has the correct approach to track car build!
Awesome car and build! I've pretty much retired from the track, but I'd still love to do so many of these things to my C6Z! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the comment! Hope you make your way back to track for fun!

Yes!
Great Video loved it. I have a C6 ZO6 720 whp. Wish this guy made kits brake and cooling. Hope to see more on this build
Thank you, will link up again to give you an update!
Boosted ? What cam
@@ryandoolittle1344 super charged 15 psi Texas speed 427. I would have to look at the build sheet for the cam
Best power to weight ratio platforms out there and PERFERED by many..
Just sold my C7 z06 and going back to C6 z06
Nice! Can’t go wrong with either!
Can I ask why? Not saying one is better than another because that is subjective but I’m just curious why you wanted to go back to previous gen

@@the_bar all great reasons that I would not have been made aware of otherwise. Thanks!
@@the_barjust went from a 2019 zl1 to a 6cz06 love both cars but nothing beats the 6 speed

Anthony! Long time bro, hope you’re good 👍
Would love to see a follow up on the new ABS system?
Definitely would love to follow up on the latest!
I love enjoy finding these great channels that are small and growing and you can see in the future getting big. Keep it up. And thanks on the great content.
Thank you for the kind words!! 🫡
Awesome video and tech talk on this build!
Thank you 🙏
This is sick
This build is awesome
Indeed!
Can you do a review on a Camaro ZL1/1LE (Manual)? Lots of people doing Sub2 in those! Would love to see an extensive review video. Thank you!
🫡 Great suggestion!
keep your work !
🙌
just saw an atomic oarnge z06 for sale WITH a 2nd spare hood being the B92. Really rare hood .
Is that the carbon hood option?
Super interested to see how the BMW ABS works. I'd like to replace the ABS in my 2010 Z06 without having to do a full Bosch system.
I’ll make sure to ask that next time we meet!
Love these videos! Any C7 GS videos? I’m curious as to if the whole braking issues/bcm issues are any better
I’m not totally sure, but I will remember to ask that next time when I interview a C7 owner!
bad asssssss i’d love to see what i can do on one of these 📝📝📝📝📝
Yes!
Awesome insight , just picked up a 2011 carbon and am looking for a few tips on what you would recommend for track alignment, I will be also on the same tire wheel set up ad you , thanks
Start with -3 deg front and -2 deg rear for camber. Toe in 4mm total rear and either 0 or a touch toe out front.
Thank you @dot2gt ❤️
Imagine all the NOS you could put in the back.
😂 too soon jr.
I chose the wrong career...
I LOVE CARS !!!
Haha never too late!
These are like 200 grand in Aus for a decent one. The C7 z06 is 250+. C8 Z06 starts at 338k+. We get utterly shafted here.
Man.. is it taxed by engine displacement?
Vet gets them wet lol!!

Are the factory carbon brakes better than a set of iron Ap’s or stoptech’s?
@ballard-bt2ts Good question 🤔 not sure about that , I do know the Carbon ceramic breaks Chevrolet uses are the exact same as Lamborghini so they are pretty good they say they are extremely high quality.
Only the front cradle is magnesium not the rear.
Good to know!

997 GT3 vs Z06? It depends what mods are on each car.
The finish line does not care how much you spent on the car.
Awesome info. Car is a monster and he’s done some incredible work.
The cuts while he is talking is jarring, and unnecessary.
Appreciate the feedback
The C6 Z has never been under rated.
Everyone: C5/C6 Z06 are SO affordable. They’re the best option to go racing on a budget. You only need 3 mods to go fast!

I went into my steering column and pulled the steering position sensor, no more steering aids at all.
