800+ WHP Supercharged C5 Corvette Runway Racer - One Take

For the best price on line for VINCERO watches check here: vincerocollect... - Code -- SMOKIN
This 1998 Corvette Coupe belongs to an old friend of TST, Joel Feingold, a long-time runway racer since the beginning of SoCal Runway Racing. We've watched his Corvette evolve over time and it now runs 173 MPH in the half mile (same as a Porsche 918 Spyder) and 206 MPH in the standing mile. This car is very fast, but not only on the runways, as it makes for a brilliant, thrilling canyon drive as well.

[@thomascampr]

GO up to fifth gear Matt " RAMS it into third gear ,. Owner has heart attack.

[@germanv8s877]

He was done talking to him. He was like “this is a clown”

[@SidewaysXenoX]

@ 5:42 does he say : What are you doin?! Hahaha

[@hinds90]

Mr_Lundax LMAO

[@iamezza]

lol, well heard

[@shadowhamster6054]

most def

[@UnknownRider-eg1nl]

😂😂 All he did was blip and down shift to

[@nathant2414]

Mr_Lundax it was at this point he knew he fucked up

[@G_Gued]

“Hey honey, why can’t we pay our mortgage this month?” “But did you see my standing mile time?”

[@Rubinkieth]

😭😂🤣🤣

[@Highlander1432]

Haha Best to buy something that's already pretty close to where you want it

[@balanceofperfection]

I love when you get people like Joel who know so much about their build and are so excited to explain all the details they've done to their cars. As always another fantastic one take!

[@prettyfast1000]

Thank you Jason, I’ve got a lot of blood sweat and tears into this car…

[@ziggylothbrook8644]

prettyfast1000 You built an incredible machine your passion and knowledge of your creation is inspirational

[@prettyfast1000]

Thank You!!

[@bentrishaleemartin926]

When he said “they will bury me in this” I felt that in my soul 👊👊👊

[@rabin2026]

Well By that guys face impressions I'm pretty sure That's going to be the last time the owner sits on the passenger seat of his own car!!

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

rabin2026 your car always feels faster and you are nervous when you are a passenger and not in control of your car

[@ifrit35]

I think most people would shit themselves being passenger in an 800 whp car.

[@prettyfast1000]

Mojo 😂😂

[@prettyfast1000]

I guess that depends on who is driving, but again Matt is a very competent driver and I only started getting a bit nervous towards the end as he got more comfortable and started pushing the car harder…

[@ralphlongo1975]

It's hard trusting anyone else that is driving fast, it takes a lot of getting used to, to be a passenger. I'm terrible at it lol.

[@JNatella]

The downshift to third was such awesome angry fury

[@JerryC25]

Chills inducing sound

[@Zcypot]

those rev matches are fucking LOUD.

[@BeReady726]

probably don't have to be if he did them softly

[@houstonOLED]

uber sucks that car and quiet don’t belong in the same sentence. God himself couldn’t keep that Car quiet on heel-toe downshifts.

[@BeReady726]

Houston how wide open the throttle is makes a big difference, I've had loud cars.

[@Dolby109]

The engine rev's super fast because of the lightweight flywheel, so his first few rev matches I think he overdid it a bit.

[@peacems]

Yep, that first downshift scared the shit out of me! I had my speakers up WAY too loud for that!

[@pretzil16]

"It's planted, it's a quaiffe, it's been on fire five times"

[@prettyfast1000]

pretzil16 all true LOL

[@VaLULrant]

Lmfao that's hilarious

[@kevinanderson9752]

3 years later and this is still hilarious sir.

[@Albertisthegod]

You know a car is fast when your not even in it but still giggle from it

[@josiahthibodeaux]

“Holy shit!” I still kinda want a c5.

[@josiahthibodeaux]

Honestly it’s a tie between those two models, but it definitely has to be a z06.

[@josiahthibodeaux]

You’re right, I’m leaning towards the c6 but it’s just something about these late ‘90’s to early ‘00s cars.

[@Mod2Fame]

He was so nervous lol, another great one.

[@db_auto_photography4539]

Mod2Fame Vlog its intense being passenger. You're not in control.

[@taol8258]

it's even worse at the track. I'll never get used to it.

[@DemarcusQ]

Good hearing car owners that aren’t meatheads

[@lpjzfan05]

Over 800hp will makes ya nuts go in ya chest😂 he’s clearly a dyno racer because a real racer wouldn’t get nervous.😂🤷‍♂️

[@CrossWindsPat]

@@lpjzfan05 omg spoken like a true arm chair racer...

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

That seems like a well sorted race car, good job!

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

MunroM84 for an street legal road course race car it is soft, but for a street legal half/full mile race car, it's just right and well sorted. You don't need super stiff suspension if drag racing is what you are after.

[@zeus9527]

MunroM84 soft?

[@zeus9527]

MunroM84 a 3000lb go kart with over 800 wheel hp? Soft? What the fuck do you drive?

[@mikegonzales372]

Lmao 3 years later this guy was chosen to be in the show “Sorted” with Matt Farah

[@bod95]

Owner looks nervous

[@seethekarma]

bod95 being a passenger is scary lol.

[@crazybil112]

Nervous? Dude looked terrified!

[@bhew7409]

$200k nervous

[@ryanbernard6550]

I would be too! Corvettes are notorious for overseer stock...

[@Dance1617]

800WHP on a rear wheel drive car from the 90s, hope his life I Durance is up to date.

[@TheDutchTexan]

The fun part is when Matt hits the go pedal completely. I can't even imagine what a car with that power level feels like. I've experienced 676 whp in a coyote mustang and thought that was nuts. This? Next level stuff!

[@speedlife301]

The Dutch Texan highly hp in a corvette is a completely different beast no comparison at all

[@darthluke655]

Those rev matches are insanely good sounding.

[@Videosroblikes]

I've known that car for 20 years. Good to see he still has it, gotta be one of the most expensive c5 builds I'm aware of. Not sure if that is a good club we are in our not.

[@Rubencrd]

Rob Ferretti calm down wanna be lol

[@powersurge001]

Spaghetti your burnt meatball isn't even in the same league as this spicy salami

[@Vanderveenm]

Today, we find a wild Rob Spaghetti comment

[@prettyfast1000]

Rob Ferretti Thanks, I hope to have it another 20…

[@NorthernUnion13]

prettyfast1000 fantastic car mate and hello from New Zealand. Very impressive!

[@henrykincaid6821]

Jesus Christ that sound...like an angry bear!

[@chrissorreda4982]

A BURNING BEAR!

[@maximus9401]

That is a VERY accurate way to describe that sound

[@tylercouture216]

The graphic an everything makes it fit so well in its time I love

[@jo23bulls]

Daaaaaaaaa Bears

[@darrellgrant7615]

Sounds like my MIL...

[@jo05dk]

Not too in love with the colour scheme, but love the lines. ..and the build..damn. Mr Feingold has build one hell of a car. Nice work good sir :)

[@eppyz]

JohnnyNr5 that color I believe is unique to the 50th anniversary addition. I forget the name of it but it's very distinctive color and looks much better in person.

[@prettyfast1000]

Jeff Eppenger yes, it’s called ruby pearl mica... Depending how the sun hits it, you can change a little

[@eppyz]

DeOndré Anderson to Corvette enthusiast though this particular color has significance though. You need to see the color in person it really looks better in person.

[@mountain180]

The owner when he Mat goes into it. His awkward laugh and scared face 😂 10/10 reaction

[@blackjin21]

That rev match actually sacred me

[@westwed365]

This guy is so nervous to see someone drive his baby. I know the feeling! Sick car man and thanks for featuring it Matt & Co.

[@JDub07]

You know he's driving a fast car when you get nervous just watching the video. Very rarely can you get a good sense for the speed watching a video but the way everything was flying by and the car was soaking up those bumps made it so real.

[@prettyfast1000]

Mr. Cornbread Thanks, here’s a pretty fast video of me driving one of my other cars vimeo.com/233037262

[@Edward135i]

Guy's like this are rare now days, buy their dream car and enjoy it for 20 years.

[@SelimxBradley]

Seems like the owner was unhappy about your downshifts lol

[@UnknownRider-eg1nl]

We're All Thieves They don't even seem bad to

[@SelimxBradley]

Sounds like he says "What are you doing?" at 5:39 lol

[@BlakeEM]

No he isn't... 12:08

[@CasterTown]

Most drag/straight-line guys have no idea what downshifting is. Its not like they ever have to do it. Why do you think Chevy had to put auto-rev matching on the new Corvettes and Camaros? They are keenly aware that nobody in their target market knows how to manually perform a downshift correctly.

[@abes3925]

Blake McDonald yes he did say “ what are you doing”

[@swhuze247]

Joel and his Vette are legendary. I was watching his insane canyon driving vids on the Vette Forums a decade ago. Joel is a master driving in those canyons. His vids are much better than having to watch Farrah.

[@prettyfast1000]

Thanks Buddy, you're too kind...

[@j-theorythequantummechanic6025]

I just can't help but to smile when Matt rolls into it..

[@mattwasilewicz9677]

Serious car. This guy's personality perfectly matches his car, awesome video

[@serialdrunkdriver]

The exhaust note sounds like an animalistic roar lmfao. I get goosebumps just hearing it through the video, it must be deeply beautiful to hear something like that in person.

[@WindmillStalker]

Woah, what a brutal car! And a cool long term development with the owner and all. Great vid!

[@Knezicdex]

Holy shit what a BEAST! 15:37 one of the most exciting few seconds of any one take. Damn i got scared just watching...

[@nathant2414]

Incredible sounds. A proper way to wake up.

[@RealBearFace]

This car seems like it could be a NFS boss car

[@leanlifter1]

Isaac Garcia Need for speed is a supreme joke. FM or GT or iracing on PC is where its at. NFS was good in the 90s before Gran Turismo was released.

[@FeintMotion]

No one is even talking about that shit ya geek

[@serialdrunkdriver]

that would be awesome fuck these gatekeeping fucking retards hahahaha

[@BKetch]

This car was in a video game. I cant remember which one, but I remember a video the owner posted of the car getting recorded for a game a few years ago.

[@prettyfast1000]

That is correct, Need for speed, Carbon Canyon... They put multiple mics on the car, street and dyno, used the sound in the game!

[@mm6705]

Finally, not some tuner hack job 6 month rushed build. So nice to have a long time owner that actually does real man stuff with it.

[@abelflores5976]

I've been watching Joel's KZbin videos for a long time now and have even purchased Torco Accelerator from him. Really down-to-earth and awesome guy to deal with. Love his car.

[@griffinkambol5163]

Joels nervous laugh on the first full throttle was too funny

[@prettyfast1000]

Griffin Kambol 😂😂

[@mycorvettelife]

Bad ass ride! I’ve seen the car on instagram a few times, but didn’t know the story behind it. He sure was nervous in that passenger seat, lol.

[@kborgs]

Had the pleasure to see this car at a few runway events, and let's just say it's fucking loud and fucking fast, it's insane.

[@LegendGary213]

This guy is terrified. The Engine sounds amazing .

[@JoeTheLudicrousGamer]

4:55 Loudest Downshift on this Channel.

[@pablon310]

This guy really doesn't like other people driving/thrashing his car lmao you can tell .... but then again who does

[@agingbatman7743]

Good to see he has it still. I used to talk to joel quite frequently on a small corvette forum we were on. He certainly got his use out of that car. And still hasnt really changed it in the last ten years much from what I can see.

[@prettyfast1000]

No doubt Buddy, she does require a bit of TLC, but the power is elusive, and I still chase it...

[@MusclesAVS]

Seen his car a bunch of times over the years. It is an absolute monster!

[@prettyfast1000]

Vinny Diesel 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RamblinAround]

Impressive stuff for sure, seems like one of the most well sorted cars you've featured.

[@NoahBB]

In 2020 watching Sorted now:

[@DeftonesFan867]

I remember this car from back in the day. Used to watch his videos all the time.

[@ogk9678]

Joel is a great guy! I do a lot of Airstrip Attacks with him & also use his product, Torco on all my Vettes. Glad to see you do his Vette in your episode, great work Matt & Joel!

[@prettyfast1000]

Thanks Buddy!!

[@butt5810]

what a cool dude and cool car thanks matt

[@knytrydr73]

Most insane car I've ever seen on this show. Sweet.

[@streetphase]

one of the better guests on the show. knows his car, good humor, not a goofball pyscho who brags about their car etc

[@prettyfast1000]

streetphase thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@julians7268]

Those downshifts sound evil!

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Matts such a likable dude.

[@prettyfast1000]

Yes, he's very good at what he does...

[@Fortune2point0]

This guy actually knows how to do flybys! Very nice.

[@erasmus_locke]

"what are you doing?" Dude was pissed you were blipping the throttle on downshifts

[@Tunerguy21]

If I were to do a C5, it'd be like this. Probs in silver with some aero lights, but that engine, the body work, the running gear.....thing's a beast. Love it. And its properly sorted, too. Very impressive car here.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

This Vette is Smokin'!

[@BigBodyRacing]

First video in a while I couldn't go full volume that's a good thing purr

[@davidpeterson6147]

Joel, this car makes all the right sounds. Congrats on the car.

[@prettyfast1000]

David Peterson thanks David

[@calinator51]

I'm not surprised if the owner is terrified. That much power with a guy who likes to drive fast in a canyon where if you lose it your life is over going down those cliffs. I like Matt but you have to have balls to do this, he may be a great driver but all it takes is the rear wheels to break a little traction. I love straight line speed but driving this route it'd be like a grandma.

[@hovnojede010101]

I think dis one gon be gud

[@kemtitanproductions8831]

This car is insane!! 173 in a half mile is wicked. Chevy should just make this car from the factory.

[@prettyfast1000]

Thanks, 21 years in the making...

[@cookybiscuit]

Not sure if it's as fast as my Civic, but a nice car regardless.

[@theyhatehimbecausehetoldth7576]

cookybiscuit you make me civic

[@williamkosarek780]

But mom it's a race car

[@Bootyyy]

Nothing could beat a civic, and I wish more people like you would understand that.

[@blitzy3244]

based

[@carculturesweden2668]

I can say that this was a real treat to watch, im not a big corvette fan but this is something special!

[@hafizx11]

I think this is one of the best One Take cars so far.

[@prettyfast1000]

Mohamed Ibrahim thanks, that’s cool to hear!

[@kennethdefreitas6845]

Probably the best corvette I’ve seen the c5 is the greatest corvette

[@TheDemoroman]

Not kidding around Joel!

[@BKetch]

Wow, love seeing this car on here. I've known this car for years.

[@rider9195]

Been watching videos on his channel for years. Awesome car

[@american16]

This car sounds badass wow what a monster

[@stilsonian]

Nice one throwing Julio Don a mention.

[@prettyfast1000]

stilsonian He is a standup guy, I have his kit on all three of my Corvettes

[@PEBELtbk]

Love this guy and his vette!!

[@prettyfast1000]

Tristan Bastiani 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

[@shiny0773]

those downshifts are hands down the loudest and most aggresive ive ever heard.Thing picks up speed in a scary way.Just pulls and pulls relentlessly it seems

[@henrykincaid6821]

New camera? Looks like a much wider FOV than normal

[@izzelyy3189]

No it looks the same as before for me. Still, they really should put the camera pointing to the road on the passenger window for better angle.

[@frankenstein01]

this was recorded a while ago

[@catnapwat]

You can alter how wide a GoPro shoots, from 'regular' flat to basically fish-eye. I'd assume he altered it to fit everything in the frame.

[@EatMyPropwash]

catnapwat yes you can, kind of.

[@xTurtleOW]

4:15 such genuine laugh

[@MidasPrime]

This is one of my favorite reviews from you.

[@prettyfast1000]

JaggerWolf Good to hear…

[@realtalk4689]

That is a beautiful f#ckin performance build (and coincidentally expensive). Easily amongst the best looking C5's i've seen. Delightful indeed Matt.

[@prettyfast1000]

real talk appreciate that, thanks👍🏻

[@blitzy3244]

This has become an honorable video in my "XD" playlist

[@prettyfast1000]

Right on...

[@ghulamali8073]

Matt good to see you LOVING this Car!!! Great video!

[@joetacchino4470]

But is it planted?

[@prettyfast1000]

Joe Tacchino I can definitely verify it was planted LOL

[@AdamAllen]

1 of the coolest owners ever on here!

[@prettyfast1000]

Very kind...

[@GarageSupra]

Dude, runway videos. Fuck yeah.

[@BIGWEBB88]

Prob the most epic downshifts I have ever heard

[@checkyourself164]

Never been a fan of vettes AT ALL tbh. But this one in this colour with this build + sound does it for me, I'm seriously in love.

[@peacems]

This video should have a 1/2 million views! One of my favorites so far. Hell, I was sweating in my office chair!

[@prettyfast1000]

peacems thank you very much, I’ve watched it a few times, and while I’m quite biased, I find it enjoyable to watch!!

[@kaos94591]

Oh my god! I’m inspired! Just bought.a C5 and still haven’t driven it. Thanks for the AWESOME ride along.

[@Simple_Cory]

What an absolute machine.

[@enthused7591]

5:25 you make the point that it "masks speed". I just picked up a C5 Z06 and compared to a regular LS1 C5 car, the suspension in the Z06 REALLY masks speed. That's a great way to say it. It's just so composed and controlled that a low 12 second car feels as easy to go fast in as a mid 13 second car.

[@bad333p]

even stock corvette is an ultimate pleasere car

[@Naefukabootio]

That's one of the best looking and sounding cars you've featured on here. This video was a great watch, thanks.

[@prettyfast1000]

Naefukabootio Nice to hear

[@codyclark1782]

I rarely comment on these videos but this is in my top 5 favorite one takes. This is one of the only videos recently where the speed actually translated on camera! This thing looks absolutely bat shit, like 675LT fast. Owner was cool af too!

[@prettyfast1000]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@caelencarstensen7274]

one take with leroy

[@車者銀河搭]

I liked his Style. No lag, Smooth!

[@williamr3840]

That road is fantastic. As a child I would have so enjoyed cruising it on my Big Wheel! :0)

[@pete_mustang]

Jesus, the sound of that overrun!

[@DasE30Cuz]

Those sunglasses and t-shirt, could he drive anything BUT a Corvette?

[@JuanGarcia-oi8ci]

Zach Buchowski maybe a Duramax truck lol

[@vwertigo]

Why yes...your mother!

[@prettyfast1000]

I’ve had a T-shirt for years now, pull it out for special occasions LOL

[@VaLULrant]

Nope

[@GrandmaKeith]

I like the Supercharged Punisher badges

[@soyounoat]

That is a well crafted speed machine.

[@NWI_Steel]

Man, i remember seeing videos of this car on streetfire 10 yrs ago. Very cool to see the owner

[@prettyfast1000]

NWI yes, I remember that site, used to post a lot there...

[@ErnestFair]

The owners expression on the first heel toe downshift was classic 😂😂😂

[@defryer1]

Damn!!! now thats a really impressive car! My respects to the owner!
