I managed to stuff double what I paid for this Corvette back into it over the last year. I "thought" I got a good deal. Now we go back in time to look at every single thing I have ever done to this car and sort out where all my money went while in attempt to build the coolest C5 corvette to ever hit the public roads. Join me as I walk through this massive financial mistake in an attempt to have a really cool car at 22 years old.

Beautiful car. Don't feel too bad about spending the money on your ride. It's something that makes you happy and it's not hurting anybody. When you get married and have kids, and you're paying a mortgage you will be glad you did this.

My 6 speed C5 is supercharged and has brought me more happiness than any women I have been with.

Check out the column lock bypass switch. Should fix your pull key and wait 10 sec. Super easy install under dash. Super cheap. I think you can find a plug and play harness version if I remember right. I bought the bypass back In like 2003 so it's been a minute. Still have my C5 though :)

I've got about 13500 into my c5 convertible 6 speed including the purchase and many new parts. It is near completely sorted out. Also came with a perfect paint job that doesn't even look like it was repainted. The new parts include Toyo tires, ebc slotted rotors with red stuff pads, new radiator, new battery, new oil pan gasket, new clutch master cylinder, new rocker arms, new oil pressure sensor, HID high and low beams, many other small and cost effective things. Also, changed every single fluid.

The exhaust hang could be due to the rubber in your exhaust hangers being worn out. If you can find some in decent shape, buy them. If not, buy the inserts from Corvette Clips and modify your existing hangers.

It’s because the hanger that’s actually on my exhaust snapped off at the weld and everything I’ve done to hold it has not worked because it shakes so violently

Bet my Model S Plaid would embarrass it. The C5 z06 has such a beautiful timeless design though. I don't have it with a procharger and and for some reason it doesn't require oil changes. has two baby seats in the back and has won three no prep street races against trailered race cars .

It would be close race. The stock c5 z06 takes the nurburgring in 7:56. But since this one has way more power than stock and way more grip it should be low 7's. The model S plaid has ran the nurburgring in 7:25. Pretty crazy a car designed in the 90s with upgrades can take on the fastest cars of the 2020s. And the C5 at half the price of a used plaid.

You can spend money on these. I've probably spent more than 40,000 dollars on mine, light rims, C6z brakes, ultra light racing seats, then Supercharger, stroke LS motor, etc., etc. I never think about what the resale value is because I'm building this for myself. My friend has a Ferrari 812 and a Lamborghini Huracan and they're definitely not faster than my C5, that's nice if anything haha!
