Most people Have no idea when they say only 650 hp. 650 whp on a 3100 pound car is a freaking rocket and will be a nightmare for most modded cars to come Around on the street on the top End.
indeed, I have a co worker that has a 6.2L Chevy SS that's 4000 lbs, yeah it's 415 hp, but much heavier and can't handle like a Vette there's a website that has the HP to weight calculator and shows the 5.7L compared to that car is even
People, especially these kids, are jaded. C5’s are between 3100 to 3300 lbs. 650 is enough to break many hearts of heavier rides, if not to just be right along side them. Also those other rides cant just take the motor out and toss in an LSX based, 460 cu inch stroker and make 700 NA at the wheels. Let alone toss some giggle gas on top of that.
@@crodrc51able I know people who say anything under 700hp is slow but only ever driven trucks or fwd sedans... Bought myself an 99 LS1 formula and it's fast enough to make people clench and stiffen in fear. Cannot imagine something that's 300lbs lighter with more 300hp
A good friend of mine just built a sleeper 98 C5 with an automatic putting 800+ down to the pavement with a 427 build and a blower. He is looking forward to trolling some Hellcats.
That Z06 is nicely done!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish the owner would have explained more about the supportive mods, like... injectors / headers / fuel system / clutch / miles on car and mods / cats or no cats / ect. There's a lot done and it's very impressive.This is one of the lightest vettes ever made, with 650hp!
Even 500rwhp on a 3100 pound is a rocket! That almost six pounds per hp which is almost the super car range and even will smoke a few of them. I have 2003 z06 all NA and even with 405bhp, it s a blast to drive.
Awesome machine! I have an ECS car. 2004 Torch Red Z06 with mod red interior.. SC-600. Stock engine with long tube headers, 60 pound injectors, tune, A stage 1 fuel system and a Paxton Novi 2000 making 10 pounds of boost. 605/527 on power. It's bipolar LOL! Out of boost...it's so tame. In boost? hang on!!! It has a stock clutch and driveline. 3.42 gears.
Same. Had an 03 S2k AP1 and bought an 04 C5z and fell in love. Sold the S2k shortly after, even though I regretted it, but LOVED my Z06. Lol. Both are incredible cars, but nothing beats a lightweight aluminum and fiberglass V8 American muscle car. The torque, the throttle response, the horsepower, its unmatched.
That’s pretty cool, I remember when you first mentioned that one of your neighbors had a Z06, now he’s in one of your videos. Keep up the great content 👍
Hey Chris, Great video. Labib thanks for sharing the secrets under the hood. Very beautiful C5's. Next C&C I'd like to cruise with you guys, but I don't know if my 550hp LS3 can keep up.
Out here in Ohio wish I was more local anyhow I have a 2002 Lingenfelter 427 supercharged 675 horsepower porch red black top convertible and I love my car
Cool man, I didn't realize it was a daily. One day you'll have to do mine if I ever finish it. You also need to go for a ride along now its working properly
I'm in Tempe also, funny how this was recommended. Nice Vette. I've been contemplating going supercharged e85. I don't trust the bottom end and driveline. I stupidly sold a Z06 trans and diff I had laying around...
Hi Chris nice video like always... and on your comment you said at the end of your video. I own a 2002 corvette Z06 I will like to talk to you about it when ever you have a minute thanks
@@mycorvettelife - Hey Chris... Quick question Brother... Do you still like the ACA Projector headlights that you installed? Are they working the way you expected them to? That's my next mod and I definitely think I'm going with the exact same ones you got... Thanks in advance... Rico
Love seeing all the C5 vids. I too have started a line of C5 and C6 vids. I'm also releasing a line of carbon parts for the C5 and C6 chassis, like nothing currently on the market, but much needed. It's available to subs of the channel, so if you may be interested, check that out. I also did some vids on suspension, steering and other aspects of C5 mods. I incorporate some cinematography and visuals too, for flavor. Keep up the good work! Love seeing Corvettes! My gf and I both drive one daily!
168-mph in the half mile with a 17-year-old Corvette??? But wait, "experts" are saying that front wheel drive Corvettes are OBSOLETE!!! Yea, what do THEY know! HA!
Def not obsolete. Just bench racers talking crap. Plenty of vids out there of Vettes from C5 to C7 running hard, strong, and handling fantastically. Can pick one up for good coin, modify cost effectively, and still look phenomenal.
@@druechamberlain4018 I have a 3500 dodge stick shift. I wouldn't want a standard other than a work truck. However I wish my car had more than 4 gears.
Chris, do you know if Labib is running the stock bottom end? I’m about to do a very similar set up and I was just curious if his stock bottom end is holding up well?
Cool video, Chris! I have an '01 c5 z06, still all stock. I'd love to hear more details on exactly what Labib did to his. Does he have a youtube channel?
Chris, great vid as always. Interested in your thoughts between riding in a fixed roof vs. the standard coupe with the targa. I love my FRC, but feel like I’m missing something without the removable top.
With the roof on they don’t feel any different really. I personally have always liked the look f the Coupe better over the FRC. And the option to remove the targa is a great bonus.
Hi Chris, I have a yellow procharged ,cammed and tuned 03 z06 pushing 640 to the rear wheels in Maine. Long winters. What are you putting to the rear wheels in you N/A vette ? I like your videos.
But the gas mileage goes out the window daily a driver. I was thinking about having mine Tunes a little bitter, have to go out of town to get it done to Orlando. I got 80,000 miles on these spark plugs. It's good to start nickel and dime mean I'm on Social Security in Florida
I would have bought on if not for the fixed roof. The comparison between your and his reinforces this. Plus there is one mod the z06 cannot have. The ejector seat! Pop the top and off she goes. Gold diggers............ 😄
Is Big BS,, for my twin turbo 406 on my 1985 corvette, ur cars sound like a little Honda for my car,, low 6s on a 8d of mile at 158 mph,, 828 hp to wheels,, but nothing wrong with urs,, nice,,
650 horses + 3100 pound car = Hold the hell on! Loved the BBS LM wheels. They look great on the C5.

Yes, it is 650rwhp. And yes, it is a rocket ship. The video doesn’t do it justice. The 168mph in the half mile backs up the claim.
Baldeagle301 Very true! Mine was at 660rwhp before the work that is getting done to it now. It was a Rocket then.

No such thing as a Corvette sleeper
@@joem1382What about the C3 Corvettes that only put down 165hp back in 1975-1980? Have over 800whp in that and I’d say that’s a sleeper.

Maybe I’m wrong about the neighbor part but that’s still pretty cool to see how far you’ve come, keep up the great content 👍
That was a different guy. He actually recently sold his car. But Labib lives about 3 minutes from my house, so practically neighbors.
I guarantee you this C5 surprises more than a few bikes. It's all about power to weight ratio.
Pair of nice Vette specimens! Looked like your friend’s beard was gonna fly off when ya did that run thru the gears!
Hey Chris,
Great video. Labib thanks for sharing the secrets under the hood. Very beautiful C5's. Next C&C I'd like to cruise with you guys, but I don't know if my 550hp LS3 can keep up.
Nice car....God makes RED corvettes...............JB..................
Absolutely AWESOME 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁
That is a nicely modded and tidy C5
Out here in Ohio wish I was more local anyhow I have a 2002 Lingenfelter 427 supercharged 675 horsepower porch red black top convertible and I love my car
I'm NW of Colum. Where are you?
I love the look of c5’s without that molding strip that runs along the middle of the door/fender… so much cleaner. glad mine doesn’t have it either.
I love it. When I saw the picture I thought it was mine at first 👍
A-tex here.
U guys had a ton of fun. 😄👍🏾
Always!
Another great video my friend. Two beautiful corvettes. Keep up the great work.
Awesome car, 6:17 awesome sound, most of all 6:26 awesome time!! Great video
This is Corvette life, love both cars. Is so cool to have fun with corvette owners friend. Nice Video!
Glad we could finally get this done, thanks Chris!
Cool video Chris...wow that 650hp vette is so cool..S2000 are ok but you can't beat a vette...your vette was no slouch either..love the v8 sound.
That car is crazy fast. I could get into a lot of trouble with that thing!
For sure!
Love that Chop
Cool man, I didn't realize it was a daily. One day you'll have to do mine if I ever finish it. You also need to go for a ride along now its working properly
For sure!
proud to have a c5z
Yo Saul Looking for my first. Love them C5Z06’s.
Huge fan of the build, hopefully I’ll have a similar setup soon!!!
Can’t wait to drop my car off at cordes once we move to Prescott! Debating between a AA kit or staying na and doing hci
I'm in Tempe also, funny how this was recommended. Nice Vette. I've been contemplating going supercharged e85. I don't trust the bottom end and driveline. I stupidly sold a Z06 trans and diff I had laying around...
If everything goes right🤔, I can have my vetted modded making this kind of power in hopefully about a year or so, can't fricking wait!
s200 is nice but a vette is a different beast:)
My Arizona Brothers!!
Same wheels same color I just need to add the supercharger!!! Nice setup bro
Battle between the S2000 and the C5 Z06? When was that 😂
Awesome Vettes!
Reeled in that C7!

You mean front engine. It’s rear wheel drive.

awesome!! love both Vette's nice work guys! 🤟🏼
Chris your car sounds GREAT! Was this after you did the top end on the engine? The Z06 is awesome, just imagine what it would do with sticky tires.
Yes it was.
You two should do the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds standing mile!
Wow
Loving these videos brotha! Keep up the great work, looking forward to every new vid!
Cheers
🥇
Nice bunny ears ☺️
I might have made a mistake,I bought a 97C5 with an automatic transmission.
Definitely not! An auto C5, cammed, tire, torque converter and the right centrifugal blower will tickle 9’s, if not be at the top of 9’s.
It sucks having a stick shift and a nice cam in rush hour traffic

Subbed. Been looking for a c5 page. Great content sir
Thank you!
Z badge on the rear end,,, oh brother
You guys should have run each other to give a good feel for what a boosted LS6 can do.
Chris, do you know if Labib is running the stock bottom end? I’m about to do a very similar set up and I was just curious if his stock bottom end is holding up well?
Very nice vette but he needs to put the OEM z05 wheels pls do that
looks like the white vette Quicker off the Line , possible highter rear end Ratio ?
3:12 RIP headphone users
I’ll have to come see your car I’m in mesa
What steering wheel cover is on your Vette? I’d like to get one👍🏽
Nice Video!! And beautiful car.Are you happy with the Corbeau seats?
Very.
I got that same shirt lol
Cool video, Chris! I have an '01 c5 z06, still all stock. I'd love to hear more details on exactly what Labib did to his. Does he have a youtube channel?
No but he’s on Instagram. @wgnths
Nice car bro! Can you tel me what Cam is in it? Mine is getting a BTR Cam with more boost at the moment. Just subscribed. Keep the videos coming.
Chris, great vid as always. Interested in your thoughts between riding in a fixed roof vs. the standard coupe with the targa. I love my FRC, but feel like I’m missing something without the removable top.
With the roof on they don’t feel any different really. I personally have always liked the look f the Coupe better over the FRC. And the option to remove the targa is a great bonus.
Its It's a hair stiffer... I'm on my 3rd one and the C5 zo6 is stiffer than the c6 targas also...
Hi Chris, I have a yellow procharged ,cammed and tuned 03 z06 pushing 640 to the rear wheels in Maine. Long winters. What are you putting to the rear wheels in you N/A vette ? I like your videos.
420 whp on 91 octane. Unfortunately we don’t get 93 in AZ.
Whats a blower cam?
What type of blow off valve is he running ??? Please and thank you ..
Great video and amazing car! What steering wheel cover is on it?
www.etsy.com/shop/RaceGripCo
I have an install video of it as well.
Found it! Thanks you again!!
400 is squirrely enough
What wheels bro?
Sorry guys that's NOT a Z06. Or the one at the beginning of the video with the targa top
Did you watch the video?
@@mycorvettelife yes. I was just referring to the targa top c5.
My car was not the primary focus of the video.
Hi Chris,
Could you tell me what exhaust Labib has and you as well?
I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you
Labib has stock exhaust. I have Kooks long tube headers, x-pipe and Corsa Sport
Both sound amazing. I am looking to upgrade my exhaust on my 03.
Thanks for sharing.
Our cars are far from stock, so it’s much more than just an exhaust that makes the sound.
@@mycorvettelife
Got you, and I was thinking that Borla ATAK alone will do the trick!!!
I need to do my research.
Thanks

He still gets about 17mpg
Just stumbled across your channel . What's your engine and full build?
Full list in the video description. Check my latest video for the most up to date list.
Nicccccce !
Nice video! Do you have the wheel specs?
What are the specs on those wheels? I have a torch red c5 & I want that style of wheel but can’t find any that’ll fit.
They are OEM C6 Z06 wheels. They fit, no rubbing.
Quarter mile time?
what year is that red Vette?
2002
That's not a z. It a frc..
No, it’s a Z06. It’s a 2002.
Lalib, aren't you glad you DIDN'T get a S2000??? :-))) - Scott
He had 2 before the Vette.
Didn't Labib also own a turbocharged BMW at one time? I feel like I've seen him somewhere unless it was his evil Bavarian doppleganger.
Yes he did!
168....that's moving..lol
I would have bought on if not for the fixed roof. The comparison between your and his reinforces this. Plus there is one mod the z06 cannot have. The ejector seat! Pop the top and off she goes. Gold diggers............ 😄
And never went over 55 😉
Never.
If he would've got a better launch his trap speed would've been higher.
Cant beat the red on c5 z...
Where can I get that steering wheel cover for my C5Z
www.etsy.com/listing/650462512/race-grip-co-racecantara-steering-wheel
@@mycorvettelife it's asking for diameter ? Which is correct for the C5z
38cm
Is that a q anon sticker on his car?
No, it’s Cordes Performance Racing
What’s the exhaust set up ?
Labib has headers with stock Ti Z06 axle back. I have headers, x-pipe, Corsa sport axle back.
Trans axle is the weak link in those cars
I would say xtreme is better than cordes
Who is xtreme?
My Corvette Life they are down the street from classic gold auto.
Is Big BS,, for my twin turbo 406 on my 1985 corvette, ur cars sound like a little Honda for my car,, low 6s on a 8d of mile at 158 mph,, 828 hp to wheels,, but nothing wrong with urs,, nice,,
168 is honestly kinda slow
Compared to what?
Why is it a coupe top C-5 Z06
The red car is a Z06, the white car is a coupe.
