Ed, once the weather gets nice in Pennsylvania I will be looking for a terrible example of a c5. You can live through my mistake... I mean purchase! Thank you for the amazing videos and continuing to show family friendly content. Sincerely, Jeff from Pittsburgh
I personally detailed the Black #005 C6RS 7 years ago when I was just 23 years old. It was in Cleveland, Ohio at the time. Easily one of the coolest cars I ever did. The attention to detail on the car is amazing. The black paint over the carbon fiber looks incredible when finished. Took about 4 days worth of work. I stumbled upon this video and then saw the pictures of the car taken at Bullet Proof Performance in Cleveland. I still have the photos from when I did work on the car if you guys over at VinWiki would like them.
Omg, that car and that color. That would be my dream c6 for sure, and I have owned 3 of them, two 08 c6s and one 06 z06. One of my c6s was Jetstream Blue and it's definitely my favorite color on those cars.
Ended up being an epic fail, it later on went to auction and sold for $100K ($110K all in). Should have accepted the $102.5K bid, would have been the gravy on top.
that's cause a corvette owner is usually rich, and always get what they want. meaning spoiled rotten anybody that disagree's with them they can to go f themselves.
I’ve seen this car many times since I live near Tiffin and actually gapped his ass leaving a traffic light until he figured out that he was supposed to be racing me and promptly smacked my 600HP Cummins as he flew by me and when I caught him at the next light we had a shared chuckle and a thumbs up... I might be able to track him down if you want, let me know!
I have been on this channel watching videos for over 12 hours at once, none stop, and I need to go to bed but I can't stop for another 12 hours! congrats to where this channel has come to, the stories are amazing and I hope to experience something like these stories one day
One day... I would get a VIKIWIKI notification with "Kimmy" in the title and she will be on the channel doing the interview and I can say that will be the Biggest interview in the channel history!! 🤣🤣
I've been to Ken's collection multiple times. Amazing dude, great to talk to, and I live right down the road from one of his shops, which is an added bonus of being a car junkie.
This story just made my little old '07 Z06 a little more special to me, might just have to make a quick trip to Tiffin and look for the red one this summer too.
Fun fact that car owner is my husband of 11 years & and that lady was his ex-girlfriend, they never married. She had been given $600k in parting gifts but was taking him to court for an additional $1mil in damages. The car was the settlement deal….you can’t make this up 😜
Great story! I got to drive at Spring Mountain a few times. What a killer facility it is. I even took a driving school there many years ago before it was Spring Mountain, when it was nothing but a road course and some storage buildings and a lot of cars.
When I seen that image of Fellows’ car I immediately started looking and found a handcrafted about the size of a hot wheel Ron Fellows Chevrolet corvette race car the same spec as the picture of his on the track
@@sirbader1 look. Almost everyone has some sort of aux system in their car, so the headphones or speakers is not my aim. But what I'd really like to do while I'm driving or working on cars is just play it on spotify like a podcast. That way they'll automatically play without it needing to be on my screen. Alot of people really love driving while listening to past gas by donut, and I think vinwiki would have similar success with making a spotify.
Love watching the VinWiki videos! It came as a shock when he said Ohio but even more so when he said someone in Tiffin had bought it. That’s where I’ve lived my whole life lol
Thanks @ed for keeping the car community together. I hope it keeps growing. Sad to see electric is taking over, but I think we had to get over it sometime in future🙂anyways may Australia recover soon
VinWiki was thought ne a lot of stuff believe it or not. From being a better story teller, and having a true personality. To motivating me to become successful like this guys. Work hard to achieve my car dreams and careers. Way to go VinWiki! God bless ya'll, from the bottom of my heart.🙏🔥
I used to work at Pratt & Miller, I’m pretty sure #1 is the one we had there, yellow coupe, we also had a yellow convertible one but it was sold shortly after I started working there. Unless #1 was the development car, that one was disassembled and the shell with all the original parts had to be returned to GM
There was one for sale on one of the corvette Facebook groups just a few days ago. It may have sold by now, but it was absolutely one of those cars. Everyone was giving the guy shit for it only making 600hp
Love that Crystal Pepsi shirt. I remember when they came out years ago and I loved em! A couple years ago when they released them again I saved a few and my dumb a thinks they might be worth something one day. Lol
Good luck. If ed bolian can put together a spec OP team to bust her out of prison, you'll see her on here. Don't bother asking until she gets released.
Wow that’s so cool, Lingenfelter actually lives next to my uncle and his daughter is actually best friends with my cousin. I’ve been to his show room before. Amazing cars, other than he recently sold many of them because depreciation was increasing so he took a loss and sold them.
I’m mind blown. I went to one of the lingenfelter collection open houses a few years back, and just realized I took pictures of the black C6RS in his collection, but had no idea it was special until this video. 🙄😅
I’ve heard of that car. I’m pretty sure it was featured in Hot Rod magazine or Motor Trend. Awesome engineering. I believe it had a knob to switch up the tune on the fly for different fuels.
I live in Las Vegas and one day randomly I messaged my uncle asking him how he was doing, we talked for a bit and he told me he’s going to Houston in a week to get a car, I asked if he wanted company along the way and he said yes. he told me we’re going to get a corvette, corvette isn’t exactly my thing. But we finally get there the owner picks us up in his truck, we pull up to his garage and it was a bright red 2009 corvette ZR1, which he bought, but he had a pos looking mk3 Supra which I fell in love with, since my uncle bought the ZR1 he gave me the mk3 for free! but he had a bunch of crazy cars one being a brand new looking Cobra which was fing sexy as hell. Best experience I’ve had, I fell in love with the car on our 1300 mile drive home
I feel like I am missing out one some great story opportunities by not shopping for Corvettes

You know what you're getting with Lamborghinis but you'll never know what you get with Corvettes
Last time I was this early, I had just made my C8 order.
I feel like too many ads are happening
Admit it.....the new design of the corvettes has caught many super car enthusiasts attention.

@@Alex-Walker that's insane money. I'm feel stupid but the owner of the p1 saw the p1 parked in his spot or your friend saw the p1 in his spot?

What a time to be alive
Stop fucking commenting on every god damn video
It seems like all creators have a schedule sometimes. Especially when 3 or 4 do the same thing!
Bruce Meyer also made a video a couple years ago with this car on the Petrolicious channel. ua-cam.com/video/iggdcWBl2OI/v-deo.html

Donut makes a video about fucking everything
"because this was the car he went out to the track with his mistress....to play with.....the car..." hahaha Good clarification!
I caught that too. Was hoping there would be a comment on it 😂
I'm sure he played with both at the track :D
I thought by the title this was a Mr. Pitts video.
Not disappointed though.
Apex Seal apex seal was blown (away) at the fact that this wasn’t rob

Me too considering he was there just recently
If it's a newer Vette, it's probably Doug
If it's an older Vette, it's probably Rabbit
I couldn't see doug talking about a "scorned lover" either.
I thought we already learned that ALL Corvettes are "rare"!
Lmao
I've got a unique corvette. It's the only one in the world to be the 98573th one built.
@@dyent nice my buddy has an 88 c4 and does the same shit I guess it just comes with corvette ownership
@@soarpasta8708 Oh, no, I don't actually have a corvette, that was a joke.
Mine is. It's still in the hot wheels package.
Surprisingly, they just had a Jet Stream Blue C6RS (#006) on Bring a Trailer that didn't sell. Bid was up to $102,500 on 1/7/20, reserve not met.
Omg, that car and that color. That would be my dream c6 for sure, and I have owned 3 of them, two 08 c6s and one 06 z06. One of my c6s was Jetstream Blue and it's definitely my favorite color on those cars.

Well Ed, you are correct. I have never heard of this version of vette. Glad to be able to learn from Vinwikki stories.
I’ve seen this car many times since I live near Tiffin and actually gapped his ass leaving a traffic light until he figured out that he was supposed to be racing me and promptly smacked my 600HP Cummins as he flew by me and when I caught him at the next light we had a shared chuckle and a thumbs up...

Did you find him?

This story just made my little old '07 Z06 a little more special to me, might just have to make a quick trip to Tiffin and look for the red one this summer too.
I really think people don’t appreciate how beautiful the experience of driving a corvette is. That torque is to die for😭
@anonymous Corvette*
So was this video created in the hopes that the current owner sees it and contacts him?
I’m gonna buy a C6 RS just so this guy can’t
Then he comes back and recounts his side of the story of how he found out you bought the Corvette
@@EvilishDem0nic8732WhatItDo lmfao. To be honest this guy only wants this car just to drive it a couple of months and sell it back for profit.
Lol hahaha " Where kimi may go post retirement" hahaha that's awesome!!

Doug repping the Crystal Pepsi for the LA Beast.
I was forsure this was going to be a Rabbit video damn!!! Oh well just as satisfied lol
I love that there’s a story on these cars, fell in love with those Vettes when Matt Farrah did the video on them
"I know somebody that got kicked out of that small town" LMAO I KNEW IT WAS CASEY
I was absolutely shocked when I clicked this video that a "lovers quarrel over a Corvette" was not a story today by Rabbit...lol

Have you tried putting a piece of cardboard over your screen so you cant see the video? Or buy YT premium? Or if you're hard core gouge your eyes out.
I'm loving Doug's Vette stories. I think he has unknowingly become a true corvette enthusiast.
It seems like you could run this whole channel just by buying or rather trying to buy corvettes 😂
4:51 Doug looks so excited just talking about this car.

I like that Doug is a conceal carry license owner.
How did you find that out
Of course he is...he's from Maine...we all carry up here...how is that relevant to the car story though?
Johnny Hodgkins he brought it up in the video. I take it you missed it?

Where were all these cool people when I was in Dayton/WPAFB? I used to go to the cars & coffee events there.
Love that car and followed it from the beginning and have always wanted one!
Upon clicking I immediately knew from the title this was not a Rabbit story.
One of these just sold on bringatrailer like 2 days ago
i like doug because he tells good stories and he's not casey or shmee.
General Disarray is Casey the slime bucket? Who can tell a good story?
I like Casey
Casey's a good dude. Kinda a angry nerd, but hey, could be worse.
I remember watching Matt Farah's review of the Pratt & Miller C6RS a decade ago when it came out. Doug was also in the video. Small world.
At the beginning when he was talking about the game of racquet ball they were showing pictures of the car out of context😂😂
Doug has the best stories.
I used to work at Pratt & Miller, I’m pretty sure #1 is the one we had there, yellow coupe, we also had a yellow convertible one but it was sold shortly after I started working there.

I assume this was inspired by the recent C6RS on bring a trailer.
YAY, ads during and after the videos now. I didn't realize how much that impacts the story being told till now.
