Hands down your car is the best looking C7 on UA-cam. Congratulations on two years of owning America’s sports car. You are my favorite Corvette channel to watch- keep up the great work! You have many loyal fans!
I appreciate your kind comments! It means alot to know I have many loyal fans and people who watch my videos. Thank you again since the start!
Looks almost stock... Lol
Great looking Vette! Congrats on 2 years, love all the mods you’ve done to it so far 👌🏻
Appreciate you man! Yours always reminds me of my old 03 10th anniversary terminator I used to have.
I love your passion for corvettes! I just got my 2014 z51 in torch red as well! I have mine in a manual. Your car is beautiful! I appreciate the content! I just found your channel so I look forward to seeing what you are doing with yours.
Congrats! I'm sure you will love it! I love mine, check out my other videos. I have alot of videos on this car. I plan to do a LT4 Supercharger Conversion in the future, again thanks for the support and watching my videos.
Sick video man! been following on IG and YT for a little under a year but love the progress!
Thanks for watching! 💯
Sweet Ride bro !! I’m looking to get also some stage 2 spoiler on my 2017 Vette 👍.
Right on! Thanks man!
Still rocking with you, another good one.
Glad to see the side markers on, they really pop at night
Thanks for the support! I love em
You've done an impressive job with this car. Just purchased a 14 Z51 3LT vert and I'm looking forward to making it look as good as yours. I'll definitely check out and like your videos.
Thank you! Congrats on the new whip! Yes check out my other videos! I have alot of content on the car! Have fun!
Love the car ❤️ mine (2016 Z51)is amazing and it’s really good looking car reliable too
Couldn't agree more!
After looking through your channel, I can safely say that you have one of the best Corvette channels on youtube! I recently purchased a 19' Z51 and am planning on the stage 2 aero as you have on yours. Cheers!
Thank you! That means alot! I hope you enjoy your new vette. The stage 2 Aero will definitely make it look good, check out my other videos for other stuff you want to install if you ever need to reference back for something. Lol I'll be uploading more videos in the future here soon. Thanks again! 💯
Yo how much was your z51? Im really thinking in getting one maybe knowing what others paid may help on price
Looks great man, I’m starting to look at my first Bette and want a C7!
Appreciate it, you will love it they are awesome!
You should get the sanddeggo Llc door tags. Make entering night and day, and not having to worry about what critter is hiding inside. Just install them 2wks ago on my 2017 grand sports
Might have to look into that, thanks
Thanks
Sick! I’m about to add the water fall to my interior. I have a 2019.
Very nice! Thanks for watching!
My boy going crazy on the cold start
Haha thanks man lol, always love the cold starts!
Very beautiful vette, this has always been my dream car I know there’s much better cars out there but there’s something about corvettes that I truly truly love! Hopefully I can get one soon.
Couldn't agree more!
Damn bro can’t believe you’re almost at 2k, that’s crazy. Keep grinding.
Yes sir! Almost there! Thanks man! 💯
The vehicle is so well maintained !! It's great~~!!!😃😃😃
Thank you, alot goes into keeping very clean and maintained!
Have you thought about doing a black wrap around the grille? For an even more aggressive look.
Nope, digging my look
You have the same mods I do but I have the carbon package hood, ZR1 wheels ACS functional side scoops, ZR1 3.5 front splitter, stage 2 cam, x pipe and color matched eye lids. No CAI on your car? Love that color best imo
Thanks man! Nice set up! I like those zr1 wheels, I might have to upgrade to those in the future. I'm going to supercharge mine hopefully within the next year.
Great looking c7 gd info thx new sub
Thanks for the sub!
Beautiful Vette. I'm thinking of getting a C7 as well. My concern is ground clearance. I live in Converse, TX . My house has a uphill driveway ...I'm concerned about scraping the bottom of a Vette. ?
How much ground clearance can I expect?
Thanks,
John De
Hard to say cause I don't know how much clearance but uphill is definitely a factor, can't be too much, wish I could be more help
Thanks bro!!!
No prob
I’m curious, Is your car tuned??? If so can you make a video showing the tuner device options for c7s and maybe some of the common tuning company’s we use I’m not sure who’s reputable more along the lines of having someone remote tune
I am dyno tuned, not hand held tuned, although I keep the old hand held tuner in my center console for a code reader for the car in case a code pops up.
@@TheRogueVette Thank you for replying!!! I appreciate it
Man
Ur giving me great ideas for my car … too bad ur not in Cali would be cool to meet
Sorry man! Glad I gave you some inspiration though!
Congratulations!!!! I have a C7 Stingray that’s my dream car I’ve owned for 4 years and will own for the rest of my life!!!!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
@@TheRogueVette you’re always welcome!!!!! Also, thank you for standing up against EV tyranny!!!!

Looks good 👍. Soon as I get mine I will have some questions. Lol
Can't wait! Thanks!
Hey I have a 14 z51 in a blue, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a good build??
There's lots to do lol, maybe am Air intake, throttle body, Heads and cam, Supercharger, many options out there
Your car looks great! Especially for a z51
Thanks!
Hi man nice car what exhaust setup is it stuck
Thank you!
American racing longtube headers
American racing offroad xpipe
Corsa extreme catback exhaust
That's just how the setup sounds 👌
Is the decal on the hood available through Chevrolet?
I'm not sure about through Chevrolet but I know you can get it online from just about anywhere.
Man that's a very nice Corvette🔥💯
Thank you!
Is yours aftermarket exhaust? If so which one? Which other mods have you done? Is the carbon fiber interior just stick on pieces? Where did you get those? Thanks!
Yes it's aftermarket exhaust. American racing longtube headers, American racing offroad xpipe, corsa extreme catback exhaust, I have done lots of mods for interior, exterior, so on. The carbon fiber are stick on pieces I got from Amazon. You can watch my other videos in the Playlist section for my mods.
ua-cam.com/video/B-lEDcC9clE/v-deo.html
Check out this video and scroll down on the description to see a list of alot of my mods I have done. Now this video is an older video so it won't have stuff I have added on it but it will have alot. Like I said check out my Playlist to see mods I've done recently. Hope this helps.
@@TheRogueVette how much roughly did all those engine components cost installed? How much hp did you gain? You over 500hp? Thanks!!
@ttvdecimatedbyme9130 the exhaust system alone was around 4k and that's without labor, I installed the Ported throttle body by myself and the throttle controller, those together were around 450, it can get pretty expensive, my car was dynoed with the mods I have at 430whp and 460wtq, so definitely around 500 crank hp for sure maybe more.
Im thinking of getting one, theres a dealer near my area selling a 2017 corvette z51 with 42k miles and they are asking for $49K. But its had already 3 owners is that a good deal?
Seems like a decent deal to me! Go for it!
Did you need a time after your headers and exsaust
If you want the check engine light to go away on the dash you would need to get a tune. The headers will make the CEL come on.
Great review. I have watched your other reviews of this journey. You mentioned your size both times and reference your brother being tight in there. I can’t imagine Corvette, knowing the average customer, has not thought through average size of an American man. Your brother is not exactly a monster and you are a smaller guy. At 6’1” and 260 bodybuilder, I have sat in a few and of course, it’s a sports car. Not a truck. I fit fine.
Thanks for watching! Means alot to me!
I'm buying one this week. I want a spoiler like that. Honestly all the body you put on looks dope but I don't want to bite your style
Congrats man! Shoot man get what you want, make it look the same, I don't mind
@TheRogueVette I'm getting a 2014 z51 3lt if all goes well. Red interior. Outside is black with red calipers. 66k miles and he wants 39k for it.
@@matthowell8985 wow man I'm happy for you!
Car looks sick man. I want a C7 so bad.
Thanks man! I try keeping her looking real good! 💯
I quite like the C7 and really want a corvette when i get out of the military in 2 years. They aren't going for that much now seeing some going for 20-35,000. But i also really like the C8, what do you guys think about this?
I prefer the look of the c7, I've driven both c7 and c8, both feel completely different, c7 still feels more raw and the c8 feels more defined.
Me only six months of owning a 2014 stingray and car got 8k miles right now. Hopefully the car is reliable. My daily is a 350z.
Oh its reliable trust me and fun!
I just got my z51 from 2015 with 19k miles from carmax, what mods don’t void the car warranty?
I'm not sure man I didn't get the warranty for mine because I wanted to mod it, you can research online and probably find your answers there. Sorry I can't be of more help. Congrats on the new car!
great looking car! Is the interior hydrodipped?
No its carbon fiber pieces that I bought from Amazon, they have 3M on the back that stick to the dash
@@TheRogueVette wow they look really good! I bought some from corvette mods and the fitment was horrible lol
@lilzen9337 dang that's unfortunate, try the Amazon ones
Hey from Iowa! With the heat and humidity down there. Are they still sticking great? Looking to add them on as well. Thanks
My boy so proud to have the Z, you can tell. Lol I don’t blame you my guy
Well thank you!
Does the car have ambient lighting?
None of the c7s have that unfortunately
Is corvette c7 with 130k-200k millege is worth it to buy now?
I wouldn't buy one with that many miles
Plan on getting this for my 30th birthday, wish me luck 🍀
That's awesome! Good luck let me know!
@@TheRogueVette do u think I can use this car for everyday use be honest
@treyruiz7934 you can I've seen people do it, I don't personally, I have another car for daily use
@@TheRogueVette yea so I might not do that then 😞
Geez who doesn't want one after seeing this and I'm not a big red car fan but i am now. How many miles on the car
Thanks! It's got around 25k miles
Would you recommend this as a first time car?
I mean I wouldn't, but I've seen it done before, to each their own. Just gotta be careful lol
What did this one retail you for ? Currently in the market for one
Back in Dec 2020 I bought it for 45k
Does your 14 have the Ackerman effect?
Not to my knowledge, no.
What exhaust system
American racing longtube headers
American racing offroad xpipe
Corsa extreme axel back exhaust
I have the same looking Corvette but mine is a Stingray, it looks like the same car. God Bless
Thanks man! I actually sold the car recently due to upgrading to a C7 Z06 in the future!
Did you buy it new?
No I didn't buy it new, I recently sold it
@@TheRogueVette Why did you sell it? Did you buy the new c8? I wonder whether I should spend 50-60K CAD for c7 or 100 K for a new c8. What would you do if you were me?
@PeterSchneemann I sold it because I'm going to upgrade to a C7 z06, I prefer the look of the c7 vs the c8, but it's all preference
I’m turning into one of those guys and I don’t have the Vette yet.
Its starting! Lol
Can you send me pro clip phone info. I have a q5 C7

Nice
Thank you!
@@TheRogueVette I was thinking about getting a c7 but I'm scared because of the cylinder deactivation & the lifters collapsing... I might just keep my C5 or get a C6
@@tyronejones1864 I wouldn't let that stop you
@@TheRogueVetteis far as I know the manual transmissions only deactivate the cylinders in eco mode.. I was wondering if you never use the Eco mode if the Afm lifters would still be a problem or not
@tyronejones1864 when I got my dyno tune done for my headers and exhaust I had them tune out the AFM DOD so it would not go into V4 mode, it stays in V8 mode all the time now with my auto trans
I like the C7 over the C8
Me too!
Review starts at 5:10 😂
Lmao sorry about that 😅 🤣
How cone you speak English without any accent?
Lmao maybe because I was born here in the United States and I am an American citizen.
@@TheRogueVette So you can run for a President 😃, unlike Arnold 😢…
@@PeterSchneemann 🤣
Question for you sir... 2016 Corvette Stingray Z51 I have. Manual Transmission. Idle is 600rpm. Just for piece of mind, I would like to increase it to 750rpm. Will this hurt anything? I'm old school and just think 600rpm is soo low and could cause lugging issues like it can on a motorcycle. Thoughts?
I believe the stock rpm for the c7 corvette is 650ish, I wouldn't know what 750 would do, maybe you could look into forums for your answer, sorry I can't be of more help.
