C5 CORVETTE RIPS THROUGH BACK ROADS *6-SPEED MANUAL RAW POV*

[@markcrawford8876]

Best driving footage of tha C5 I've seen to date. Passing at highway speeds, triple digits are easily and naturally achieved. love my 04' C5 🏁⚜️

[@coldborevideos5438]

Really glad to see you're not one of those guys crossing yellow line into potential oncoming traffic, . Not driving the piss out of it but definitively enough to have fun. Awesome job man!

[@bdrbound]

Who even needs a stereo with that sound? Awesome video, takes me back to the days when I used to drive like this - had 7 points on my record and 3 repossessions by the end - good times 😆 guess I shoulda invested in a radar detector. I’m currently saving up for a manual C5, will be my first Vette - this video sealed the deal lol - now I really can’t wait. Thanks for this one, awesome awesome POV drive

[@ramflow8466]

I just picked up a C5 myself. Lots of fun!

this is one of my favourite videos ever. My childhood dream car on a ride with test drive unlimited vibes…… how much joy. I always look for this vid whenever I need optimism and grounding. Thank you.

Thanks bro!

[@spercoco]

Can't see the heads up display from here but would be curious to know what speeds you were going (I'm a state trooper😛😛). My c5 also has the HUD but have yet to be on a nice wide open road like this; would have to travel outside Boston a ways to get on a road like this. Was going to ask where you live but just looked up and says Mexico.

[@tbaloni]

this video inspires me to get a c5 I want one so badly after learning about them

[@Mazak23]

I’m guessing that your oil pressure sending unit has taken a crap. The part is cheap to purchase, but you should fix that soon. It’s a common problem on C5’s.

[@swiftripper7557]

Mines been busted for over a year. Is it even worth replacing if it's just going to go bust again? Seems like a waste of time

[@Mazak23]

@@swiftripper7557 If you check online, there’s a way to install the sending unit remotely so if it goes bad again, you could replace it in a couple of minutes other than a couple of hours.

i would do anything to experience this rn. just crashed my f30 worked all the way from a pos e90 to a fully built f30 and i lost it. looking at c5 corvettes as my next car. really miss ripping backroads

Feel the same way. Sold my stage 1 golf r a month ago and I’m feining to go fast again. Driving a jeep now for a daily

[@stoopidfast9750]

im the other way around, c5 wanting to get a f3x with a b58 hopefully, would totally take one over my vette but 🤷‍♂️ still keeping it either way

Has left the chat on most c5s at this point. Iv yet to meet anyone who doesnt have trouble with them just randomly turning off and keep popping up or staying off for a few days or weeks before deciding to work again.

[@atokillers]

in my c5 i hear the wind come through my window at 90+ mph, is that normal or do i need to get it fixed asap to fix my center of gravity/drag

[@swiftripper7557]

It's just the weatherstripping. If you replace it, make sure to get quality stuff, and not cheap chinese weather stripping or it will go bad and have poor sealing. Not an issue unless the sound bothers you

[@marcowulliampopirers2216]

is a 20+ year old chevy so yes it's normal

[@avionLeti]

do you think buying a corvette is a good buy for 6'5 guy?

[@Spooky4815]

im looking into buying a c5. Have you had any isues with water comming into the car?

[@astrowhips1788]

Best of luck with it! And yes, the quality of the oem rubber seals on the targa top are terrible so I get a lot of wind noise and occasional water leaks when I wash the car.

[@Spooky4815]

Shoot, thats a bummer. How is it when its raining do you get water leaks then?

[@astrowhips1788]

It will really depend on the condition of your top but mine doesn’t really leak in the rain. My buddy however has had two tops that leaked consistently when it rained

[@Spooky4815]
