- We bought the cheapest and highest mileage C6 Corvette Z06 back in April 2022. We partnered with eBay Motors Canada to make this 5 part build series happen. eBay Motors is one of the world’s largest marketplaces for buying and selling all things automotive - the site offers trusted parts for every need for every vehicle. Huge thanks to eBay Motors for sponsoring this series. Go to ebay.ca/motors for your next car project!
Follow along in this 5 part series where we purchase, benchmark, modify, drag race, and dyno this 2006 Corvette Z06.
In this episode, we install all of the parts that we ordered and then put them to the test on the dyno. Let's see how much NATURALLY ASPIRATED power we can make!

Seems like the views haven’t been massive for this series, but I’ll be one of many to say- I love this series! It’s pretty entertaining and I’m excited to see how it ends!
Agreed. They're not getting as many views on this because it's been done too many times. However, I do always enjoy watching a good C6 Z06 build as it's my favorite sports car ever built.
Ebay needs to work on the advertising of this a bit more to bump those views up since they are promoting their own site.
People who want to watch millionaire's cars that most people won't even see on the road - much less own - probably don't do much cross watching of car build series. I'm sure it's a struggle to diversify content a bit without having some viewers tune out. Not to mention the usual toxic internet kick back from the adult children of the world.
@@morstyrannis1951 Yup, see saabkyle04. The guy was an OG car TH-camr and went from millions of views to almost nothing once he started doing builds and working on regular cars. People love seeing stuff they can't afford or unique stuff with TH-camrs with fun personalities...And vlogs from rich kids for some reason.
@@iSOBigD To each their own, I guess. I personally find that kinda stuff as a bit of a turnoff sure exotics are cool but I'm much more interested in watching builds of stuff that is more attainable to the average Joe.
The dad fits 😂. Nice mixing up the content though
Congratulations! 🥳

Performance shop: What's your budget?
Straighpipes: Yes!
There goofy..... not mechanical......at all.....too funny
The hilarious part that never gets old is the the torque down low. Basically from 2500RPM ALL the way til redline you're making well over 400 lb-ft of torque, naturally aspirated In a C6 Z06 with stock displacement, that's nutty. XD
😈
Great job you guys! I had one of these, Lingenfelter built, but mine was only 660 at the crank. One thing you forgot to do especially since you were planning to take it to the track again, is to upgrade the steering rack to the one that came in 2011 or newer cars. It was significantly faster than the pre-facelift steering. I found that out when I took my 2008 car to the track for the very first time. I later owned a stock 2013 Z06 and that one was significantly better steering ratio wise
Ah yeah I did notice the ratio on track. Lots of hand movement
Yeah the 2011-2013's where obviously the latest & greatest of the c6z's. TR6060, mag-ride shocks, optional carbon ceramic brakes, carbon aero, carbon hood, better interior/seats, wider & stickier wheels/ tires etc. Upgraded PTM traction control settings and so-on.
@@flexinclouds you are right! Mine had every single option basically, I had the 07 package and a bunch of carbon stuff. Brakes were amazing! They were Carbon ceramic, of course. I totally forgot that the transmission was absolutely fantastic comparing to my 2008 Z06.
@@timmietz The 2008 and newer all used the same TR6060 trans. I do agree the faster rack on the later cars makes it easier to control when things get hairy!
Guys, keep watching you from Barcelona, Spain. I love your direct, humble test drives. You always feel like a couple of good friends enjoying whatever new steering wheel you can get and explaining to all your friends what you think about it! You got me!
This is such a badass build series. The c6 z06 was always my realistic dream car growing up. With performance to match quite a few supercars at the time. And the later year cars kept getting better with the TR6060, mag-ride, carbon ceramics, wider & stickier tires, improved interior, & carbon aero from the zr1.. made for one helluva sportscar. Not to mention only being available with a manual, paired to that sweet-sweet LS7🙌
2006 was the lightest...that's all I got haha. Definitely some quality improvements in later years
Love that you guys are tracking it before and after and not just "throwing parts at it" like other channels. Awesome stuff!
LS7 is my favorite LS engine something about the 7.0 427 LS7 just sounds so good. Love making big power reliably in a N/A V8. Nothing is more American….I mean Canadian lol
We unite with America over big NA v8 horsepower 🤝
Nice to see you guys dipping your toes into modifying cars! Great content!
We've done a few build videos and series in the past. This is the most horsepower by far now
Every episode of this series has been really exciting. I can't wait to see the track results.
Awesome content guys!!! Not only am I learning heaps about car parts and bits, but watching y'all be so damn enthusiastic about this build makes it all the better... Keep it up boys!!!!
Absolutely loving this series. Hope you can get more and more technical as we go along cause I love that build portion and all the information and changes. Can’t wait to hear the exhaust outside too!
Hope to get some machine shop videos of this engine build.
I really like watching the head work get done!
The straight pipes team in three months: Let's test the corvette!
Winter: U sure bout that?
Next week 😈
I love this series guys!! Keep videos coming, I am having a blast.
Having a lot of fun watching this series! Thanks to TheStraightPipes for such great content!
This series is so underrated!! I can't wait to see the track+drag results, very impressive so far.
Love the series so far!! Can’t wait for more. I really started liking vettes when this car came out. My personal fav is the burnt orange color. Also you guys should show the expenses on the car from start to finish.
Love this series and the editing is perfect. Without doing the wrenching yourself you are still including all the aspects in such a short video. Keep it up- love the direction you are going!
Thanks! Trips everyday to the shop to film everything. Lots of work still haha
Just keeps getting better and better. Love this series.
Love this series! I’d love to see the full cost of the build. Base car + upgraded parts + labor for install. Thanks!
BrO's, that's awesome power for just picking parts off eBay. Some may think the dyno has been reading high ever since stock numbers. Either way that's great gains! Can't wait to see how it performs in the testing to come. Grand slam! Turn this into a never ending series please lol. How about some 50- 140mph tests. Pretty sure eBay sells Draggy. Got my eyes peeled for the next video! Congrats on such a great show thus far.
Loving this series!!! Keep up the awesome work guys!! ❤
This is awesome, you guys nailed it with everything here.
This is one of my favorite series from the channel, love the corvette content!!
Cool to see high quality modification content, boys! Great way to stand out from those other Canadian guys too lol! Hope the series does well enough to justify continuing this type of content!
This was amazing. Thank you. I love you guys.
That thing sounds like an absolute monster. I'm loving this series.
Amazing, absolutely amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic numbers boys. Loving the LS content!
Every time I watch a episode of this series my smile grows bigger and bigger as if I was the one upgrading it! Great stuff guys can't wait to see how it performs on the track😆
Great series, boys. Would love to see y'all redo a classic for your next one.
Avanti restomod
This series is AWESOME
This car is going to be insane to drive. I'm amazed by the power. I have a car with a 6.0 liter LS and I can only dream of making power figures like that.
It's one of the most insane cars we've driven... and we've driven a lot of fast cars
This might be my favourite video you guys have ever done 🤣🤣🤣
Gives me Saturday Power Block on Spike TV vibes LOL
I grew up on that - Jakub
@@TheStraightPipes yeah man me too! Edit: were same age
I live in Sudbury, and travel to Southern Ontario alot, and I recognized the backdrop of the first video I watched of yours immediately, and knew you guys were from Ontario 😎🤘
She sounds good. I just got my PRC stage 2.5 heads in for my ls6 corvette. Can't wait to get started.
❤️❤️❤️GREAT PRODUCTION GUYS 👏👏👏 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE 🙏✌️
I know the views haven’t been up to your standards but I’ve really enjoyed this series!
This has been really entertaining to watch. Car sounds awesome too.
Love this series!
Redundant to say but, suspension and tires are going to be massive with this much power, loving this side of the channel !! Great way to get people not too into it, into it and into potentially taking better care of their cars :)
Can't wait to see the track video!
This series is awesome! I want to see this beast on a road course. Maybe coilover conversion in the future? 🤔🏎🔥
Love this series
@ 9:00, same face I had when I fired up my 383 Firebird for the first time. That Vette sounds mean boys!
This is a great series.
Love you guys! Outfits are on on point 👟
The look on Jakubs face when it cranks is priceless!
Great videography....👍👍👍
Excellent episode 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You guys are crushing!
Good stuff !!! Go bills !!!!!
Woo! Hell yeah boys!
Will yall have a parts list for the whole build at the end? Would love to see how much it all ended up being
What a MONSTER! Can't imagine how tough it'll be to launch with that much torque!
Let's just say...you'll be disappointed at the 2 attempts I had 🤣
Glad you guys did this series. Keep the unique content going. The car reviews are great but I’m sure you get bored doing similar videos all the time. Hit up some rallies or car shows too if you guys need other content ideas ;)
This is sooo cool!
Keep up the good work. May be a manual hellcat beater, soon?
Hell yeah brothers!! 😎
Don't know why I'm just seeing this now?? That's crazy, loving the series
Build content is the best content
Finally I was waiting
those videos are really good, im wating for all of them¡
J's face when he fired it up! #priceless
Nice video of corvette is pretty awesome and it's nice new engine Yuri and Jakub
5:50 These lube shots...Mmm, my camshaft is so rigid right now!
The LS7 is a beast even naturally aspirated once you start modifying it shows the potential it has you guys still have stock heads if I'm not mistaken with the upgraded cam if you upgrade to ported cylinder heads this thing is just gonna have more hp and crazy top end the cam and ported heads really wake these push rod engines up on the higher rpms still a sick build series looking forward to see this thing in action on a track
These are beyond ported
@@TheStraightPipes that's awesome 👍
Memoriabilia ^^ max ! Love it!
This is a really fun look into something that a lot of people dream about but few can actually do. Would be really curious to hear what the final cost for the performance parts is when you're done.
And this is why the ls7 is the goat!
Awesome! The exhaust note is the way a Vette should sound....
Sounds great
GJ picking Race Proven Motorsports parts. Those guys crush it with LS/LT motors.
I just got a c6 a few months ago, it’s the perfect daily
Those shoes are spot on LOL
yes yes yes more power✅
That sounds incredible. Don't think you could get a better setup than that
Agreed
When this is all said and done there has to be a collaboration between y’all and Donut! The high and low cars vs Z06!
I love this build so much, keep up the great work Mighty Duct Tape and The Hammer :D
You can't say nobody calls you that anymore, a random petrol head from Australia calls you that now.
🔨😍
Best timing chain design EVER. This is coming from someone who did one on an Audi S4 4.2 V8.
Yuri you legs is the same colors as mine brown on 00:15. My legs don't get any sun like that.lol
Anyway you and J-man keep up the excellent work! 😜
I'd love to line up against this Z06 ... can't wait to see your ET
Love the dad outfits
I wish I had unlimited money to throw at a project. Love this build.
Much better video guys! Looks like you basic bought the DIY RPM stage 4 package (minus the coil relocation/valve covers)... Your numbers fell inline with their typical builds as well. Did you get the base tune from Fran? I'm considering doing something similar, how's the drivability on the street? My only real concern is I tend to use mine a lot as a daily driver as well, so looking forward to your feedback!
12:12 hells yeah!
this series is great :) no suspension? Hard to find something better then stock for a good price? i assume this trim level is pretty good already from that factory ?
"read the hat, bud, Z06" 🤣🤣🤣
Those cams awakened the beast inside of that LS 💪🏽

In 1997 I use to work at place call Valeo I use to assemble clutches for Subaru and Toyota.. my gold was get the Subaru SVX or Toyota Supra with the big spoiler. I end up getting a old school 1982 2 door Buick Park Electra all white 5.0 V8. Call it The "Love Boat aka Floating Sofa".🤣 I bought it for $200 from family member. No car payment😜
THANK GOD you kept it naturally aspirated
I kept wondering why they were dressed like dads. I was literally sitting here like "is that how the always dress", lol the stereotype went right over my head.
😂
Looks like I’m getting a C6 Z06. How much did you guys spend in total? Car, parts, install, etc.? Been watching you guys for years. Stoked when you hit M and 2 M is just around the corner! Congrats gents.
Pretty sick video for an eBay add
As a Ford guy, I've never been so excited to see a Chevy motor come together. 😍
With 3 fords in my garage, this is the only Chevy I need in there with them 😂
That first start up! 😮
Wild eh
I have this build on my 2012 Centennial Edition ZO7. Made 650RWHP. Main difference is that I also used the Nick Williams 103mm drive-by-wire throttle body and some E85. You boys may wanna install a $200 flex fuel sensor and run ethanol for a 30HP boost
That corvette is music to my ears
It's the C6 Z06 down in the Six!!!
