I am seventy five years old and took delivery of my twentieth new (2018) corvette yesterday. Base coupe LT2 suits my wants for an aged driver. First vette was 1960 and I cant describe the difference in the 2018 except, hold onto your hats. Keep up the great work my friend.
Congratulations Tom and I am glad you have had a life full of these amazing cars. You have gotten to watch and enjoy the amazing cars grow up over the years. Enjoy every cruise you can go on. 😁😎👍
I owned the 40th anniversary 1993 with 305 HP. I could handle that car well. I now own a 2016 Stingray LT3 Manual and WOW! Scary fast. It took me a few months to get confident with the speed. Wicked Speed compared to 1993 vette. Can't imagine the difference from the 1960 vette!
How do those pads wear vs the stock ones? Have you noticed a difference in performance on the track? I had to change my front pads and rotors at 3k miles, primarily from about 4 hours of HPDE and am looking for something that will give me more track days.
I have had them on now for about 9K miles and no issues. I have only tracked it hard twice but the breaks held up really well. My next vette will have the Z07 package because carbon ceramic breaks and rotors were made for that kind tracking.
Great video! I just purchased my first Corvette ever. Always had Trans ams, and recently a 2010 and 2016 camaro. I picked up a 2019 stingray 10 days ago and LOVE IT.
Chuck, I have been enjoying your videos for over a year. I love the way you do them without swearing & take your time to explain the mods that you have put on your Vette. I currently own a 2016 Z06 torch red Vette. I have had 5 Vettes before the Z06. I live in Boardman Oh & im a retired police officer & a Viet Nam veteran. Your Vette is awesome !! Take care & have a great day.
Thank you Rodney for all your support over the past year. Thank you for your service to our great country and your community. You have an amazing vette those Torch reds are neck breakers. 👍👍
Another great video on the Z06. Been following for about 4 months . Bought my black on black 17 Z06 in January and you were the 1st person that I came across and started following. Remain humble and we'll see you next week. Have a great weekend!
Congratulations on the 17 Z. I am very honored to have you as a member of the community and I will continue to be me and just enjoy these amazing cars and take you guys with me. Have a blessed weekend.
Hey, Chuck thanks for another great video. I got my Under Armour Corvette Shirt in the mail you sent me. I love it!!! Thanks again and have a blessed week.
All radar detectors are a complete waste of money. I owned an electronic store in lower Manhattan. I tried every radar detected known to man. I was driving to Maryland my radar detector never went off and I got pulled over. I asked the officer how they were able to gauge my speed ? He showed me that they had a quarter mile painted on the highway and if they noticed somebody moving faster then the rate of traffic they would use a stopwatch and a chart. That would tell them how fast I was going. I never bothered with them after that day. They also do the same thing from the air when I was in Florida. Experienced the same situation, I was clocked going through the quarter mile.
Hi Chuck, brand new to the channel and your virtual Corvette family. I’m a new owner of a Watkin Glenn Grey 2017 Z06 3LZ w/ 1,200 miles only. Beyond beautiful, stored for 3 years (maintained throughout), covered, with not a blemish on it. Previous C5 red rag top owner, and just loving my new beautiful beast … it is my dream car!!! Love your channel, all the wonderful content, comments, and looking forward listening and learning to all your fellow vette enthusiasts and owners. Stay healthy, well, thanks again for all the time and content, and from the SF Bay Area … hello to you and your wonderful Corvette family!!!
Awesome ride and your channel is real. Super job. A real down to earth honest channel. Only a cool dude has the kind of CLASS you represent. Keep it real and have fun is what life is all about. Thanks, Chuck / and Black MAMBA for all your time. My Blessing from Another Corvette Brother!
Thanks Chad I appreciate the kind words. Everything is much easier when you just be yourself and I try and do my best of representing this amazing Icon that we know as Corvette. Some people can't afford on yet and others have had many and can't drive them anymore so they all come on the journey with me. Thanks for watching and you have a blessed week as well.
Greetings and salutations! I recently bought a '79 Corvette C3 (which just got an engine problem today BID); it's great to be a part of the Corvette Owners Community
New to your channel. Watching all these corvette as a motivation to keep working. This is my dream car. Still need to pay off my dad's car that I bought for him but after that, hopefully I can treat myself to one of these beauties! keep up the great corvette videos!
Your camera and drone captures are awesome along with your editing. Im a Mopar fan but your Corvette is amazing and beautiful. Im new to your channel as well and amazed by the shots you take. Top notch sir!!!
Marcus welcome to the community I am very honored to have you. I am a car guy not just a corvette 😜 I am just more inclined towards the corvette. My second favorite sports car would have to be the hellcat. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the feedback.
Hey I’m new to the channel and to be honest, I’ve only seen about 3 of your videos (This being the third one) and I just love the cinematic you put in your videos because my mom is a photographer and I’m going to college right now for electrical engineering, yet I’ve picked a huge love for photography and photoshop and video editing. I’m starting a channel and its nice so see a smaller channel like you doing so well. I’m a subscriber now and I’m going to be watching a lot more of your videos and leaving likes and etc.
Welcome to the Channel Outlet, Sounds like you are going down the right path getting your education. When I started my channel I said to myself if you're going to do this you have to do it right because this car demands perfection. I have started off slow but have worked hard to bring everyone a great video and doing so by good equipment and gear and learning allot of editing. I still have a long ways to go so hope you enjoy the journey with me.
Its nice to see a youtube respond to viewers because I never feel inclined to leave a comment but its really nice and cool to see you reply to my comment!
I have a black on black 2008 zo6 was changed to automatic , had a accident and can’t do the manual , a lot of mods to the car , 150 shot of nitrous as well , love all you do Chuck !
6 year old video. I do not own a Prius, I do not drive a Toyota. However for information sake, the 2023 Prius is now actually a quick little car. They improved acceleration tremendously. No it's not a Corvette, not even close. I don't like when people put down a company that builds reliable, dependable, excellent transportation ever.
Hey Corvettes 918! I love the 5th point you made, which is to drive your car whenever you can. Im from Canada and we get a handful of months in which we can actually drive them so we have to make every chance count. Too often I talk to people that will only take their car out when its going to be sunny with 0 chance of rain. It makes me ask why even buy the car if you're never going to truly enjoy it. Anyways great channel and even better car it looks like an absolute work of art. Cheers!
Totally agree with you Joe. I have driven mine in the rain many times. Like you said some people spend 70K plus and never drive them. Thanks for watching from Canada 🇨🇦. 👍
Thanks Michael for stopping by the channel. I enjoy making these videos because I do enjoy watching this car all the time. 😂😂😎👍. The ceramic coating is well worth it.
I put the Warner Thermal Quad pads on my C5 when I got it. Even after 1200 miles of HARD running in the Black Hills, the dust isn't even noticeable on your finger when you wipe the wheel barrel. They are amazing for my car and where I run it. I also run the Escort Redline. Great video!
Love your videos. I just received my all blacked out 2016 ZO6 from the Chevy Dude in Louisville. The same car you have fully optioned with the 3LZ pkg and the 3LZ Premium Pkg. The car is 26 mos. old and only has 670 miles on it. The original sport cup 2 tires were already changed to the sport cup. The car is also paint corrected with Ceramic Pro 9H.
First time viewer, love the tips .... like drive it as much as possible!! 2008 Blue Z06 9,000 miles on it. If I had only known that tip earlier.... lol 👍🏻
Great video!! I'm going to do the ceramic coating to my black C6 GS as soon as the weather cools down, was told that it really helps cutting down swirl marks
The Ceramic coating on black looks just crazy wet. The videos and pictures I post on Instagram do this car very little justice. I does help on swirls. You will still get some scratches from time to time but I have no swirls from washing and drying etc:
It's never too late right!!! I bought one finally my first girlfriend's dad had one...Big thanks to Mr. Belstra... I was in 3rd grade and new exactly what it was, man how the times have changed 😁
New to the channel! Its crazy how infatuated i am with the C7 and it scares me because i dont even know if ill be able to afford the Grandsport, let alone fit in one lol (6'4"). Currently studying my ass off to get into the air force and land a job i want (electrical engineer) so i can afford the things i dream about.
Thanks for stopping by the channel I appreciate the comment. You can do anything you want to do this amazing country you just have to put the work in and you are. Much success to you!!!
If you have any doubts, Cleetus McFarland on youtube has a C7. Im not sure how tall he is, but he fit in it, but wanted more room so got a aftermarket seat and fits better
GOOD LUCK BRO!!! SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE UR HEAD ON STRAIGHT & KNOW WHAT U WANT!!! WISH U THE BEST!!! IM 38 W/SOME MEDICAL ISSUES=DENTAL & WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW TO GET IN 2 RESERVES AT LEAST?
I am new to the channel. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I .really enjoyed the material. .... just bought my C7 and had it Opti pro coated.
Welcome Mark and I appreciate the kind words. These videos do take allot of time making but I enjoy sharing my experience with the corvette. Congratulations on the new C7 you are going to have a blast. Opti pro is a great product.
Welcome to the Community Mr. Matthews, I am very honored to have you. I post a video every Saturday at 9am and do a live stream at 6pm ct on Tuesdays. If you ever catch me on a live stream stop in and say Hi. Enjoy that amazing C7 Z51 great cars. 👍😎👊
Thank you Donald for supporting the channel. what you see is what you get when it comes to my vlogs, just a normal guy with an amazing car trying to do it justice in videos. Have a blessed week.
Some great tips. Especially number 5. Absolutely love the coating on your car. Was wondering how you kept it looking so good! Keep up the great work and have a great week.
I’m buying those break pads today!! You hit the nail in the head about the break dust... I can’t take it anymore lol. Thanks for the tip my man. Good video :)
Hi there.... Love your car and looks great. How much for the ceramic paint protection? I'm buying a Z06 soon in Red and want to protect it from getting scratched and getting the paint chipped from rocks on the roads.
They wanna charge me 3700 at the dealer. Only thing not covered is the rear and roof. Also thank u for replying sir. I visited the second largest Corvette dealer in the US today. It's located in New Hampshire. They wanna sell me a 3LZ Z07 package Z06 for $ 91,900 7 speed manual. No dual roof package tho. I want the Torch red but the girlfriend wants me to get a black one lol. Take care and god bless
Love the info, you really have one fine ride there for sure. I have my dream car a C4 1990 convertible and we love the cruise. Keep up the good work real nice videos!
Yo man love the car and the content, i am new to your channel and definitely subscribed. Looking to purchase a C6 Corvette soon. Wish me luck man. God bless.
Thank you Evan, I appreciate you stopping by the channel. I still have a ways to go but hoping to continue to get better. I really enjoy making content when I have the time.
Hi, I’m new to your channel and I really like watching your videos. I have recently fallen in love with Corvettes and I’m educating myself and plan to purchase one in 2019! Keep up the great videos.
Another great video Chuck! I've gotta get some h9 on my car! Yours looks so much glossier then mine even in pictures! That thing must look fricken amazing in person!
Thanks Jimmy for stopping by This morning. The 9H is some crazy sick stuff. I agree the pictures and video's do this car little justice. That blue is going to pop once you put a ceramic coating on it. You and the Family have a blessed weekend.
One day I will have one. Little bit hard to fit a family of five into it though. Lol. Enjoy your videos though. Makes dreaming about a corvette that much more fun.
I have been where you are Marcus and it took 17 years but I made it and you will too. Hopefully my video's will keep you in the loop with corvette and when its time to get one it will be a dream come true as It was for me. Have a blessed weekend.
Hey Chuck, love the channel and just subscribed. I come from a lineage of Corvette owners, my Dad and his 3 brothers all are Vette owners where my uncle is the President of his club, and my brother just bought a sunset orange C6 2 weeks ago, so you better believe my C7 Z06 is coming real soon.... FYI i think you have the best looking C7 on youtube. Awesome channel.
Welcome to the community Nehemiah, I am glad to see that you come from a family of vettes. These are amazing cars as you know and my channel is to showcase these amazing cars. Hope you enjoy my future videos. 👍👍
Hello I'm new to the channel I just became very passionate about the Corvette Z06 I work at a car dealership and one came in on trade and I drove it just like yours and I became addicted good job on the videos
Hi Chuck, every-time I see your Vette in your video's I say to myself" Man that Vette sure is BEAUTIFUL!" I think you are right about the coating for the paint job too. It gives your paint job a deeper black look and it does look like liquid. anyway thanks for the tips and can't wait to see your next video.
I appreciate you stopping by as always and the support is very much appreciated. The 9H coating defiantly makes the color of the car much deeper and it shines all on its own with very little help from me. See you at the next one.
great job as always. nice info have the exact same mods. tints have to be in top 5 though. also the black rims came with chrome lug nuts those have to go as well makes no sense. see ya next week.
I agree, The tint should be number 5 on my list but wanted to push the point to get out and drive. 😎 The Crome lug nuts for sure on black wheels have to go pretty early in the process. 👍
I've got to tell you man this car is absolutely beautiful... The Drone shots all the videos you post when you emphasize the car... I've had to Corvettes both C6 and don't have a Corvette at all right now planning on getting one next year but wow... I was on the fence between Grand Sport and ZO6 and you are breaking my heart lol looking great man keep up the great videos!
Thanks Edwin as always for stopping by the channel. When you get the C7 get ready for a different experience than you had with the C6. Corvette has made some great strides with the C7. The GS is an amazing car but the Z06 is just a whole other level of performance. It will put you back into that seat in a hurry. 😁😁😎. Have a blessed week Edwin.
What is your recommendation about tint. What level of tint do you recommend? It looks as though the windshield is tinted. If it is, is it legal, and does tinting the windshield (or the rest of the car, for that matter, make night driving dangerous?
Depends on where you live and what you can get by with. In Oklahoma you can get by with anything so I have 5% on every except the windshield it as 35%. The tint defiantly saves the interior of the car and also looks very sleek on a sports car. I just jot back from a night cruise and had no issues.
Thank you Sir, I appreciate the support as always and will keep working hard for you guys. See you at the live stream Tuesday if you have time to drop in.
Thanks Bryan, I appreciate you checking out this weeks video. I would have put tint at number 5 but wanted to stress the importance of driving these cars. See you next week.
Hi chuck, quick question about your max 360 radar detector. How is it working for you. Cause im looking for one for a couple month now. Just cant decide on which one. I dont mine spending a little more money if it work. Does it pick up all the pokice radar? I appreciate your suggestion.
I won't own any other detector. Very pleased with it. I know where the city cops are before I even see them and same with the state troopers. Well worth the money.
Long time Mustang owner who also loves BowTies - first car was a Camaro - and setting my sights on a Vette next. Subbed for several reasons - -Great photography -Down to earth yet informative delivery -TH-camr rockin my look - the bald head w/ salt & pepper goatee LOL Keep doing what your doing :)
Good info , have 2006 Artic White/ Black vert. Red interior, z51, auto paddle. Only mod has deem Borla Attack really love the sound. Bought in 07 with 5000 pin clock now have 29000.
Question Corvette 918, how long have your tires lasted and was the wear pattern really bad on the inside edge. Because I read has set the camber to a certain degree both front and back. I have seen video where someone took there to Firestone and the camber for the front was set at zero and the rear set better for better wear then the factory settings
Demmolitionman in our club anyone that has a ZO6, Grand Sport or ZR1 we tell them to go get it aligned to the specs of a regular coupe so the driveability and wear on tires is better. Hope you don't mind me sending out some Info corvette 918.
Great Video .Extremely entertaining besides being useful.My first Corvette was a 1967 427 3x2 that I traded for a 1960 Morgan +4 Drophead Coupe around 1972.I had a tough time getting 3 k for it.Thanks for the video.
Hello! New to the channel, new to corvettes! I've got 500 miles on my new 2016 stingray coupe Z51 2LT. Just got it last Thursday. It fast, but not super Sport or Z06 fast. All I've owned is F350s so WOW!
Welcome to the community Bill very honored to have you. Congratulations on the new Stingray and the Z51 package is a must on that car. There are allot of good times ahead. 👍👍😎
Just purchased a 2015 Z06, Z07 Performance package! I'm the happiest guy on the planet right now, LOVE IT!!
I am seventy five years old and took delivery of my twentieth new (2018) corvette yesterday. Base coupe LT2 suits my wants for an aged driver. First vette was 1960 and I cant describe the difference in the 2018 except, hold onto your hats. Keep up the great work my friend.

Holy smokes!!!! That shine is amazing. Looks like a mirror
The Ceramic coating is out of bounds. Thanks for stopping by the channel today. I appreciate the support. Have a blessed weekend.

Glad you Like it Jim. I got myself 4 of them 😂😂. You have a blessed week as well.
Yeah I am going to order a few more myself

Broken Arrow resident here. Great to see an awesome corvette channel coming out of the local area!

No it's not a Corvette, not even close. I don't like when people put down a company that builds reliable, dependable, excellent transportation ever.
Around the 3 hour mark is where when the video actually starts for anyone interested in skipping the lame song in the intro.
I've never been a big fan of black cars, but yours just looks so sick!
Black isn't a color its a second job 😂😂 when dialed in they are great looking cars for sure. Thanks for stopping by the channel. 👍😎
Can you link the cold air intake, so we many purchase one for our Vets?

New to the channel, I work for a chevy dealership. I personally think that you have the best looking corvette out there.
Welcome Andrew and thanks of the comment. 👍😎
Excellent video. Could watch that car drive around all day. Will be looking into that ceramic coat option for sure.
Thanks Michael for stopping by the channel. I enjoy making these videos because I do enjoy watching this car all the time. 😂😂😎👍. The ceramic coating is well worth it.
I put the Warner Thermal Quad pads on my C5 when I got it. Even after 1200 miles of HARD running in the Black Hills, the dust isn't even noticeable on your finger when you wipe the wheel barrel. They are amazing for my car and where I run it. I also run the Escort Redline. Great video!

Great video..mine is just like yours...it's identical to this one here...I'm going to get the ceramic coating for sure...it's definitely over the top
The quality is absolutely stunning and so is the corvette
Love your videos. I just received my all blacked out 2016 ZO6 from the Chevy Dude in Louisville. The same car you have fully optioned with the 3LZ pkg and the 3LZ Premium Pkg.

Welcome to the community Ralph very honored to have you. Enjoy that amazing Z06!!!
Wow!!
Just discovered your channel. I can't believe how awesome your videos are, thanks!!
Welcome to the community, I am very honored to have you. Hope you enjoy my future videos. 👍👊😎
You are right about the brake dust!!! Will definitely change out the brake. Thank you for the advice on Ceramic pro 9H. Will definitely do that too.
Great video!! I'm going to do the ceramic coating to my black C6 GS as soon as the weather cools down, was told that it really helps cutting down swirl marks
The Ceramic coating on black looks just crazy wet. The videos and pictures I post on Instagram do this car very little justice. I does help on swirls. You will still get some scratches from time to time but I have no swirls from washing and drying etc:
It's never too late right!!! I bought one finally my first girlfriend's dad had one...Big thanks to Mr. Belstra... I was in 3rd grade and new exactly what it was, man how the times have changed 😁
Great insight and video . New to the channel and I have a 74 vette
C3 Vettes are very cool. Several of them in our vette club.
New to the channel! Its crazy how infatuated i am with the C7 and it scares me because i dont even know if ill be able to afford the Grandsport, let alone fit in one lol (6'4"). Currently studying my ass off to get into the air force and land a job i want (electrical engineer) so i can afford the things i dream about.
Thanks for stopping by the channel I appreciate the comment. You can do anything you want to do this amazing country you just have to put the work in and you are. Much success to you!!!
Air force Officer here, (Also 6'4") just bought a C7 z51 last week ('14) and I fit in quite nicely!
If you have any doubts, Cleetus McFarland on youtube has a C7. Im not sure how tall he is, but he fit in it, but wanted more room so got a aftermarket seat and fits better
GOOD LUCK BRO!!! SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE UR HEAD ON STRAIGHT & KNOW WHAT U WANT!!! WISH U THE BEST!!! IM 38 W/SOME MEDICAL ISSUES=DENTAL & WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW TO GET IN 2 RESERVES AT LEAST?
You have a success path to a corvette no doubt! Keep it up man, best of luck. It might not be as far away as you may think.

Congratulations Mr. Williams you are getting an amazing sports car and are going to so pleased with how much fun it is.
Chuck what is the measurement from the ground to the inside of your fender now that you have lowered the vette?
Just went and measured it for you. 26 1/4 on front and 27 1/4 on the back. Its been two weeks so this should have stalled all its going to.
I’m buying those break pads today!! You hit the nail in the head about the break dust... I can’t take it anymore lol. Thanks for the tip my man. Good video :)
+Matt Hunter 👍🏻👍🏻😎
+Matt Hunter 👍🏻👍🏻 the OEM are crazy on the break dust.
Hi there.... Love your car and looks great. How much for the ceramic paint protection? I'm buying a Z06 soon in Red and want to protect it from getting scratched and getting the paint chipped from rocks on the roads.
I am sure it varies depending on where you live but mine cost 1,500 and that included a full paint correction and 3 layers.
They wanna charge me 3700 at the dealer. Only thing not covered is the rear and roof. Also thank u for replying sir. I visited the second largest Corvette dealer in the US today. It's located in New Hampshire. They wanna sell me a 3LZ Z07 package Z06 for $ 91,900 7 speed manual. No dual roof package tho. I want the Torch red but the girlfriend wants me to get a black one lol. Take care and god bless
first time watching, love a Z06
Welcome to the community very honored to have you.
THAT VETTE LOOKS SINISTER IN ALL BLACK!!! BET THE DARK CHARCOAL GREY LOOKS COOL 2.
The Watkins Glen Gray Metallic is very sharp for sure.
Just found you. Bought my 2018 Z06 last year. Just did the Corsa Exhaust and headers. Love the roar.
Love the info, you really have one fine ride there for sure. I have my dream car a C4 1990 convertible and we love the cruise.
Keep up the good work real nice videos!
Thank you Sir, One of my golfing buddies has a C4 1994 and those vettes can move and take corners really well. Save the Wave. 👊😎👍

Hi, I’m new to your channel and I really like watching your videos. I have recently fallen in love with Corvettes and I’m educating myself and plan to purchase one in 2019! Keep up the great videos.
Welcome to the community Frank!! TH-cam is a great place to get information. Come along for the ride and you will have a corvette in no time. 👍🏻😎
Great video. Love the blacked out. How much was that protective cover.

Corvettes 918 not bad to protect a amazing car.. thank you keep up the great videos.. btw new to your channel love ur car
I have that same car. 2016...love it. Great vid
Hey man love the page and the vette keep it up!
Thanks Cade, I am very honored to have you as apart of the community and Thank you for the support.
Corvettes 918 Sometime we need to get together for a photo shoot if you're interested. I'm from the OKC area.
Definitely, my camera abilities are very limited. 😂😂. Send me an e-mail so I can keep your contact information on file. I am pretty open to times.
I really like how informative this really is. Im new to the channel and thinking of buying my first vette! so exicited
Welcome to the community, I am very honored to have you. Hope you enjoy my future videos. 👍👊😎
Always enjoy your channel! Great info on the products you show. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Irvin, I appreciate your kind words and support.
I'm new to the channel and I fell in love instantly, the corvette is my dream car and it had always been
Welcome to the community Christoper glad to have you. 👍🏻😎
Another great video Chuck! I've gotta get some h9 on my car! Yours looks so much glossier then mine even in pictures! That thing must look fricken amazing in person!
Thanks Jimmy for stopping by This morning. The 9H is some crazy sick stuff. I agree the pictures and video's do this car little justice. That blue is going to pop once you put a ceramic coating on it. You and the Family have a blessed weekend.
One day I will have one. Little bit hard to fit a family of five into it though. Lol. Enjoy your videos though. Makes dreaming about a corvette that much more fun.
I have been where you are Marcus and it took 17 years but I made it and you will too. Hopefully my video's will keep you in the loop with corvette and when its time to get one it will be a dream come true as It was for me. Have a blessed weekend.
Hey Chuck, love the channel and just subscribed. I come from a lineage of Corvette owners, my Dad and his 3 brothers all are Vette owners where my uncle is the President of his club, and my brother just bought a sunset orange C6 2 weeks ago, so you better believe my C7 Z06 is coming real soon.... FYI i think you have the best looking C7 on youtube. Awesome channel.
Welcome to the community Nehemiah, I am glad to see that you come from a family of vettes. These are amazing cars as you know and my channel is to showcase these amazing cars. Hope you enjoy my future videos. 👍👍
Brand new subscriber. Like your stuff man. Keep it up! Very informative.
Welcome to the community Z very honored to have you 👍🏻😎
Hello I'm new to the channel I just became very passionate about the Corvette Z06 I work at a car dealership and one came in on trade and I drove it just like yours and I became addicted good job on the videos
They are amazing cars for sure. I try and do my best in showing off these amazing cars and they are definitely a dream car to have one day.
New to the channel! Love the C7 and awesome videos!
Welcome to the channel Josh very honored to have you. 😎👍
Incredible. Best Corvette I ever saw
Always enjoy your videos. A cool vette never gets old.
Thanks Patrick. I agree Corvettes never get old watching. 😎👍🏻
I'm new to the channel and I just subscribed. I love the car man. Keep up them amazing work. I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos.
Welcome Charlie very honored to have you.
Great video Chuck, enjoy them all keep them coming !
Thanks Richard, I greatly appreciate the support each week.
The best blacked out vette!!!
I appreciate that Sir, She is a looker for sure. 😎👍
Hi Chuck, every-time I see your Vette in your video's I say to myself" Man that Vette sure is BEAUTIFUL!" I think you are right about the coating for the paint job too. It gives your paint job a deeper black look and it does look like liquid. anyway thanks for the tips and can't wait to see your next video.
I appreciate you stopping by as always and the support is very much appreciated. The 9H coating defiantly makes the color of the car much deeper and it shines all on its own with very little help from me. See you at the next one.
What % is that windshield tint and how's visibility at night with it? Really looks good
35% on the windshield and can see just fine. 👍
great job as always. nice info have the exact same mods. tints have to be in top 5 though. also the black rims came with chrome lug nuts those have to go as well makes no sense. see ya next week.
I agree, The tint should be number 5 on my list but wanted to push the point to get out and drive. 😎 The Crome lug nuts for sure on black wheels have to go pretty early in the process. 👍
New to the channel. Great video. Thanks for the Top 5!
Welcome to the community, I am very honored to have you. Hope you enjoy my future videos. 👍👊😎
I've got to tell you man this car is absolutely beautiful... The Drone shots all the videos you post when you emphasize the car... I've had to Corvettes both C6 and don't have a Corvette at all right now planning on getting one next year but wow... I was on the fence between Grand Sport and ZO6 and you are breaking my heart lol looking great man keep up the great videos!
Thanks Edwin as always for stopping by the channel. When you get the C7 get ready for a different experience than you had with the C6. Corvette has made some great strides with the C7. The GS is an amazing car but the Z06 is just a whole other level of performance. It will put you back into that seat in a hurry. 😁😁😎. Have a blessed week Edwin.
What is your recommendation about tint. What level of tint do you recommend? It looks as though the windshield is tinted. If it is, is it legal, and does tinting the windshield (or the rest of the car, for that matter, make night driving dangerous?
Depends on where you live and what you can get by with. In Oklahoma you can get by with anything so I have 5% on every except the windshield it as 35%. The tint defiantly saves the interior of the car and also looks very sleek on a sports car. I just jot back from a night cruise and had no issues.
Chuck-Fantastic, nice drone work. Good tips on what changes to do. Keep them coming...
Thank you Sir, I appreciate the support as always and will keep working hard for you guys. See you at the live stream Tuesday if you have time to drop in.
Brand new to the Channel, awesome black z06, black is my favorite for c7
Welcome Serjey, very honored to have you and hope you enjoy the ride. 👊👍😎
Another great video! Five fabulous mod recommendations (must haves), I've done 4 out of 5 so far!
Thanks Bryan, I appreciate you checking out this weeks video. I would have put tint at number 5 but wanted to stress the importance of driving these cars. See you next week.
Hi chuck, quick question about your max 360 radar detector. How is it working for you. Cause im looking for one for a couple month now. Just cant decide on which one. I dont mine spending a little more money if it work. Does it pick up all the pokice radar? I appreciate your suggestion.
I won't own any other detector. Very pleased with it. I know where the city cops are before I even see them and same with the state troopers. Well worth the money.
Long time Mustang owner who also loves BowTies - first car was a Camaro - and setting my sights on a Vette next. Subbed for several reasons -
-Great photography
-Down to earth yet informative delivery
-TH-camr rockin my look - the bald head w/ salt & pepper goatee LOL
Keep doing what your doing :)
Welcome Joe to the channel. Us bald guys have to stick together. 😂😂😎👊👍
Good info , have 2006 Artic White/ Black vert. Red interior, z51, auto paddle. Only mod has deem Borla Attack really love the sound. Bought in 07 with 5000 pin clock now have 29000.
Question Corvette 918, how long have your tires lasted and was the wear pattern really bad on the inside edge. Because I read has set the camber to a certain degree both front and back. I have seen video where someone took there to Firestone and the camber for the front was set at zero and the rear set better for better wear then the factory settings
Demmolitionman in our club anyone that has a ZO6, Grand Sport or ZR1 we tell them to go get it aligned to the specs of a regular coupe so the driveability and wear on tires is better.
Hope you don't mind me sending out some Info corvette 918.
Not at all, great advise, do it anytime.
Bob had a great comment. He is in my vette club and knows allot about these cars. He is always a great resource.
Yes hello I'm new I'm bout to get into the vette family

Hello! New to the channel, new to corvettes! I've got 500 miles on my new 2016 stingray coupe Z51 2LT. Just got it last Thursday. It fast, but not super Sport or Z06 fast. All I've owned is F350s so WOW!
