SUPERCHARGED 50TH ANNIVERSARY C5 CORVETTE

[@robertkincaid4525]

You've done a great job with the interior. Materials and finish. 🙌🏾

[@steveadams5417]

Those round Knight Drive LEDs look great on the C5, and the 50th Anniversary red accents in the engine bay, wow! I purchased a 50th Anniversary C5 coupe earlier this year with 115,000 miles. Upgraded the tail lights, turn signals, and side markers to smoked grey LED and replaced the radio with a Kenwood touch screen. This is a fun car to drive! Just had to replace the belt tensioners and pulleys this weekend. I love how easy it is to work on the C5, I haven't done this much work on my own car since I was in high school 40 years ago!

[@cagarc01]

You’re in for a good one haha. Idk how “easy” I would say it is to work on these. It can be a little bit of a headache every now and then but sure is nice to drive around

[@ericrichardson6899]

Beautiful car

[@thomascain8747]

My 50th anniversary convertible is the same color combo. It still has the original wheels (I do prefer what yours are). Twice as many miles (58000) and just as clean. Different steering wheel.

[@cagarc01]

58000 is still fairly low for the year

[@Coffeefullcup]

I have a 2003 Z06 it's not the last year they made the C5. 2004 was the last year of C5 production.

[@cagarc01]

You are correct I had small mixup right there. 2005 is the first C6.

[@gadsdenjim8785]

Yep, but the 60th anniversary was the last C6 though. 2013 427 Convertible. I think it’s better at the end of a generation because it’s the high watermark. As good as it gets for the particular generation.

[@troyblackburn4522]

@@cagarc01having the 50th Anniversary Edition being the first year of a new generation probably wouldn’t have been as awesome as it sounds anyway. Generally speaking the first model year is not the best, in fact often the worst of a new generation. Just watch any comprehensive review on C5s and most will say that if you are going to buy a C5 now, the 2003 and 2004 are the best years to buy and the 2003 often compares favorably to the 2004.

[@johnthomson2362]

Can you ask the owner if he did any work to beef up the transmission? Also, if it is stock otherwise besides the supercharger. Thank you Love the car, c5's went to 2004, C6's came out in 2005

[@cagarc01]

Yes transmission is built as well.

[@johnthomson2362]

Can you let us know what he has done to the transmission? I have an auto and want to do the A&A super charger too

[@ronalddouglas3243]

You gonna have to beef that trans up like i did .Put a level 6 Rpm tranny. I have a supercharged 04 24 Lemans edition.

C6 started in 2005, 2004 was still a c5.

Low miles and well kept because nobody wants to be seen driving an automatic Vette lmao

Sure wouldn’t mind being seen in this one

[@joshuagray6605]

Says the guy rocking a wrx for a profile photo 😂. Let’s line them up. My Auto C5 against ur Lezbaru.

[@CaptainAlex69]

@@joshuagray6605 I’d beat you I make 650 wheel but manual isn’t about who’s faster lol. Auto is faster. We all know this. Manual is about skill and fun first and foremost. An auto C5 is the most grandpa car imaginable. It’s the cheapest way to look as “cool” as possible. And I had a yellow C5 Z for 3 years until I wanted a sedan lol.

@@joshuagray6605 because I don’t have a KZbin channel lmfao and I already bought it making north of 530 so I haven’t done much. Not really my build other than more fuel and relocated turbo with E50
