I Bought a LEGENDARY C6 Z06 Corvette for DIRT CHEAP! Is it GARBAGE?!

Best Damn Car Show on the Internet strikes again!

[@StayTunedTA]

Hahah thanks for watching!

[@roughneckmp]

My friend who’s paralyzed waist down has a ‘13 ZO6, the VA paid to do an automatic conversion and install hand controls for him. Another friend, also paralyzed, has a LS powered ‘69 Z/28. And yes, I’m also paralyzed, and own a ‘10 SS/2RS Camaro, ordered it from the factory. Needless to say it’s a hoot to have all three of us out on the road together or having dinner together at a restaurant/bar.

That's incredible man, great to hear ya'll overcame and still tear up the streets!

Tony- Looking down the comments (there are a lot!) I think I speak for everyone when I say WE ARE TOTALLY 100% IN ON THIS PROJECT! I think you just hit a KZbin home run with this one.

[@TheZmt325]

Thanks for showing the honest reality of stuff just not quite working out. Reality is important and keeps us motivated on our stuff when stuff just dosent work out.

This car is so iconic ! In its time it was one of the fastest production cars to lap the Nürburgring and also one of the fastest cars around the Top Gear Test Track, all while running on run flat tires! No R compound Pirelli P Zeros like it'd competitors. You mentioned the top speed of over 190, Chevrolet had a chance to make this the first 200 mile per hour factory Corvette but Tadge Juechter, the genius behind the Corvette wanted better brake cooling so he sacrificed that extra top speed for that iconic 200 mark so it would be a better track performer! This incredible car had at 50 50 weight distribution and only weighed a little over 3000 pounds! LEGEND! PS: Also this 500 horsepower track weapon AVOIDED America's infamous Gas Guzzler Tax because that LS7 is so efficient🤯

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

The C6 Z06 is by far my favorite Corvette. And I'm a Ford guy too! I think those Vette's look absolutely beautiful! Love them! Especially with the manual transmission. You did fantastic Tony, Barb, and Stone! Well done! You Guys Rock!

I like the honesty of things not going your way. Happens to all of us and it’s heart breaking spending big money on stuff and it doesn’t turn out. Glad it’s shown it happens to everyone

The man (Tony) even had the new balances on. Love the car so much.

[@2fast4you423]

This is just one of the reasons I love stay tuned ,Tony and the guys could have easily fixed all those issues and edited out all the mistakes but they maned up and fixed them with all of us watching,love you guys……… the only thing that I’m upset about is I believe I heard Tony say he sold the Mercedes and I for one thought that car was tough ,but all good things are made to come to an end, I’m loving this corvette 💯🇺🇸💪✌️

0 to 60 times in Corvettes are set only using second gear. Thank you so much for the excellent content! You guys deserve every bit of success you will ever have. I've had a C3, C4, C5 drift car, C6 drift car and C7 Z06. The C6 is by far my favorite.

[@hendo337]

Central Square...no $#!+, I was born in Oswego, grew up around Fulton and New Haven, I live in Tennessee and I have been in Brazil for 11 of the last 15 months. Shame the guy had to sell the car, seems like he gave ypu a heck of a deal and did things right. Always loved the C6 GS, 427 'Vert, Z06 and ZR1...you livin' the dream Tone.

[@Brock_Landers]

Bro my brother bought this EXACT same car brand new in 2007. Black on black, 6 speed manual, Z06 with the polished wheels, and he garaged that car, loved it so much, then sold it at 5,000 miles to buy a ZL1 Camaro. He paid $86,000 for that car...cash too. Lucky MFer. Now he has a 2023 Cadillac CTSV Blackwing in that electric blue color...it's SO sick. He also has a 74 Camaro Z28 that is FULLY restored, then restomodded with flush mount glass, C5 Corvette door handles, a 425 HP <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="601">10:1</a> 355 SBC with an Eaton 4 speed manual. It's a BEAUTIFUL car.

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

Appreciate you being honest about the dramas with the car.

[@1Handedlevel100]

Good steal. As a Vette enthusiast, I'm very pleased you grabbed this one. Took a field trip in college as a Machine Tool Technology student and it was a company called Akebono. It was a Japanese owned plant in SC that made the calipers and various other things for the braking systems on the C6 Z06 and ZR1. Very neat to see and get to hold and examine parts for a ZR1 before they are assembled.

[@richwood8650]

Let's do this.

I have a 2006 trailblazer ss with 190k miles. It still runs like new. The only replacement items it’s ever needed was a water pump and a radiator cap. It’s not my everyday car anymore but it could be. Runs great!

High mileage doesn't always mean bad!

[@Z06RFan]

Great buy and the brake upgrade and the wheel & tire choice really improve the car. Have fun with it!

[@drechsla]

Awesome buy dude, a buddy of mine had one and I ended up driving it more than him and absolutely fell in love. They aren’t hit you in the face powerful but the power just builds all the way to redline. Did St Louis to Chicago in it in 2.5 hours amazing car. Only complaint is the first three gears could be a bit shorter, you wind out first and you’re already at expressway speeds top of second you’re in jail. Congrats

Ah man Tony, I’m sick! What a great deal dude. I’ve wanted one forever some day I’ll find my deal. Happy for you man

[@brianschmidt2747]

Tony, I do agree with what you do. The Corvette the wheels not a great choice. The stock wheels are sought after..

[@baldbastardo]

"Eeevery day is a bad bad bad day" Nein! I took the afternoon off and made myself be lazy. Watched Stay Tuned, VGG and Frieburger. Good way to wrap up this day methinks. This C6 has almost as many miles on it as my winter beater which isn't expected from a Vette or a Jeep Liberty either for that matter. But for some strange reason the Z06 is more appealing. Odd, that. Great score.

[@johnknowlton3998]

The guy you bought the vette from has a very organized garage! That would make me feel better buying a car from him! Keep on working hard and having fun you guys! 👍🇺🇸

As a diesel mechanic by trade, i don't care how high the miles are, i only care if it's functional or can be saved within reason. I've saved vehicles that literally had 3 wheels in the grave. I believe the best way to learn a car is by saving it's life and restoring it. 💪😎🏆
