Make yourself happy , who cares what anyone thinks 😅😂
the c5 is gonna be my first car but the c5 is better in every way but the main thing being the engine being in the front and the looks
Older Vettes are about engine only. New Vettes are about the entire car. I love all Vettes for what they represent. American muscle!
Crazy how a 20 year old lightly modded vette is still faster than a new stock C8, they really arent that fast are they. I'll take the C5 and that manual transmission all day
Totally! Just picked a 02 Z06 and who cares that's it's not the newest thing. Every time I get in that driver's seat I smile.
C5 all day everyday
Back around 2001 I liked the front end of the C5 but did not like its wide butt. Don't get me wrong I would own one for sure. I have had a 1988 Z51, a 1991 ZR-1, a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V and currently own a 2016 Z06, 3LZ Vert. I like the esthetics of the C7 more than the C8, but I would still love to own a C8. Thanks for the video!
C5 is my favorite of the generations
Buy 5 c5's , one for convertible, one for track, one for straightline speed, make one lifted for offroad, and one for parts. And you are still ahead.
Lend me $60,000 and I’m down bruh
Oofed, Thats scarry. C8 check engine light is on. At least in the C5 it will tell you whats wrong with it, without having to use a Computer to read it.
Its just an exhaust code, my c8 is catless🤣
Ill stick with a C6, prettiest Vette yet IMO
Hopefully will add a c6 z06 to the line up in the next year or so
c5 takes the cake for me, those headlights are just so hot 🤤
c6 next to a c5 might make you re think that. I think the c5 looks much sleeker and the lower body lines make it way sexier than a c6.
Love the C5! I have an 03 Z06 in Black. Love it! The no headlight smooth hood looks best
Great video and nice comparison. C5 was my first vette and i just love the classic design. Of course the interior is kind of bare however it was designed in the 90s for a car that was almost never made due to GMs financial woes. I contrast my C5 with my C7 and both are great fun however i often ask myself which one i like driving more....guess it depends on the mission. Was going to get a C8 to add to the pack but think i will get a Caddy instead. Keep up the good work 😎
Love to here it!! Thanks for the comment man
Cool comparation. Keep it up. Your videos are fun and you have good energy man!! Cant go wrong with eather. c5 or c8 if you got the money.
Thanks man i really appreciate it🔥🏎️
Cody curing my C8 FOMO yet again. Can’t wait to drive my C5 again.. after 2 years of being stored due to engine failure, the LS3 build is coming soon!
I've got a White 94 C4 in fantastic condition and a friend of mine has a new C8. He wants to occasionally trade for a weekend here and there because my C4 gets more comments and acknowledgement from strangers than when he's in his C8. Pretty funny how that works.
Not gonna tell you how to spend your money but don’t forget what sunken cost is and time cost opportunity
It has magnetic shocks, dump it quick before you got an expensive headache.
There is absolutely no excuse for the c8 transmission to be so bad. GM should have use the same units in the Porsche 911 or 458 the cars they secretly tore down to bits. Definitely agreed on power train warranty. The c5 and c6 are reliable Honda accords they just have sport car bodies that’s a testament to craftsmanship to yesterday GM products. I seen c5 corvette with 300,000 on the clock
Agreed! I love the c8 trans while its working but as an owner, expect it to more than likely give ya issues. I wouldnt have such a problem with it being unreliable of the transmission wasnt SO EXPENSIVE HOLY
C8 is a very nice car but very few independent mechanics will touch that car GM made it almost impossible to work on. C5 can literally be fixed with a hammer in the backyard. I’m guessing a transmission is more than the cost of your c5
the C5 sounds a lot better, driving stick definitely adds to the fun factor of driving but a DCT transmission is so satisfying. I had one in my BMW M2 and it was mind blowingly quick
The c8 zr1 IS a supercar
Agreed
Late C4-C8's are so similar performance wise if you have a few extra thousand dollars you're beating a brand new one. A vette is a vette tbh.
Which kind of shows how good and ahead of their time the Corvette engineers were
For half the price you can make C5 faster them C8
Way less than half the price even, with $20,000 you can have a 500-600 hp c8 gapping c5
Enjoyed the review.
Thanks for watching🏎️
Can you post a modification list on what you’ve done for the c5
I have a video going over the cam kit and stuff that was installed, once i do a few more mods i’ll probably make a full video going over EVERYTHING
@@CodyDriven I got the same cam set up because that video thanks 🙌🏽
@@QuietC5 love to hear it man🔥 thanks for watching my stuff
Looks like you have mag-ride. How do you like it? Worth adding to my 2025?
Absolutely worth addint it, you can lower the car by adjusting the mag ride shocks for free, and it adds a whole nother level of dynamics to the car making the driving modes “feel” way different. Like you can actually tell youre in track vs touring mode while driving just based on how rough the road feels
Whats up with the C5 seats?? Have they been recovered ??
Theyre seat covers from Kustom Interior!
@@CodyDriventhey look good !!
Are those c8 rims factory or are they after market rims
After market wheels from e5wheels.com
all Corvette owners think that their vehicles are the best and unique / one-of-a-kind, obviously a delusion .. 😂
I’ll take the C5 over C8. Much more reliable and for 5 grand I can make it faster than a C8.
You should probably edit your video for the sake of truth and transparency - "I"m going to do a comparison of my C5 Corvette and my bank's C8 Corvette that I'll be making payments on for the next 7 years..."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Give me the c8, I’ll sell it, then buy & modify a c5 with full bolts on and forge the motor,
Sell the c8 and buy 5 c5s🤣
@@CodyDriven sell the c8, buy one c5 to build max potential, and if it blows up repeat the process
What was your dream car growing up as a kid?
No 85k one
The issue is you want the pony car experience in the C8 ..... it aint gonna happen.... car is too refined.
C5 all day long. Not even close worth the difference.
sovl vs soulless
No one is cross shopping these two lol
Not a fan of the C8.
I’ve never heard a C8 owner say the C8 has a “Fake supercar look”. 🤔😑 You own one, and don’t even know it’s ACTUALLY a Supercar. That’s weird. Go get a mustang buddy.
Stingrays arent supercars lol
