The c5 z06 is better than the c6 z06, simply Because that LS7 is notorious for blowing up. It’s also notorious for being a $20,000 engine so have fun replacing it. I’ve had 3 c6 Z06’s and 1 blew up with only 21,000 miles on it. I’ve had 10 C5 Z06’s and non had any issues.

@@lsx_doc I will say, aside from the $20,000 motor resting on your shoulders, the c6z is better in every way. The only thing the c5 z06 has is a better raw feeling when driving.

Ive got a 2002 z/28 and I feel like I’m in an f16 when driving next to most cars. The throttle response with the ls1 and manual transmission is too much fun. Car is super tight. I can’t imagine a C5 vette.

Funny you say that cause I have a few fourth gens and I love them just as much as the vette. In fact I just posted a video recently of my most recent 2002 SS. If you're into them be sure to check out my other videos and I'll have more to come.

Great story and a really nice car. I enjoyed the video. I don’t like the black wheels at all. I’ve got a 2011 coupe, but I’ve always liked the looks of the c5. If I ever get rid of this c6 a 2004 Z06 might be in my future, but at 69 I really enjoy the automatic and paddles.

Never been a ford guy but I’m a car guy so I appreciate all cool cars that has come from underneath their umbrella like the mercury marauder. Cool car as is but even cooler with light mods. Imagine if they made an even higher trim called “the mercury marauder terminator. That came with the supercharged 4v and a manual. Ik people have done the swap but Would’ve been cool from factory.

@@T5_T-Rell i also am not a Ford guy but I always had a love for the Marauder. They did make a Marauder with a supercharger but still auto, it was done by Trinity and I believe you could order it, kind of like SLP, ASC…it was a company that teamed up to do it.

Thanks for the video. I'm the proud owner of Marauder #6330 of 2003. Yours looks very clean. Paint looks excellent! Don't worry about the engine noise. The blower motor resistor is the cause of the blower only working on high... A problem with all the Panthers with automatic climate control. Blower motor itself is also a common failure (at least here in Canada in the cold climates anyways). Keep us updated on the car. Love it!
