Talk about a true Frankenstein of a car! What transmission is used in this vette, i don't recall you clarifying that? I assume countless 4l60e just constantly being reinstalled lol. The GM special!
+BaseLine Garage maybe instead of David driving it, your dad should drive it every now n then lmao. Always crazy seeing older cars with minimal mileage tho. Must be pretty cool.
I've owned my 98 C5 for a little over 2 years and its been a fantastic car and very reliable. No major issues at all. Even with 109K the car runs strong as hell with the new tune. The newest C5 u can get (2004) is 12 years old, these cars still perform well even by todays standards. Such a awesome platform to build on.
im 17 and my first car was an 02' c5... yes, I bought it myself. Its a great car, and makes amazing mpg for a v8. The ls has to be my all time favorite engine.
The blinker is blinking fast because one of your front turn signals are out. GM designed the car to alert you when the turn signals are out. You need a 3157NA bulb by the way. I think putting a regular 3157 bulb will cause the blinker to blink like that too. Literally JUST changed mine.
Chevy made an awesome car with the C5. i ordered my silver and black with Z51 in Feb 2004, and took possession with 4 miles on the clock. I've loved it ever since. Super reliable car. Still very fast, and quite comfortable on cross-country trips. I'll likely have it until I'm gone.
Hey David I love your videos! Glad to see you're back to reviews. By the way the blinker clicking faster means that there's a burnt bulb in the circuit, so there is less resistance, which allows the amps to flow faster causing it to blink faster.
I'm all about corvettes, but Ford should make a competitor, "besides the Ford Mustang and the Ford GT" because Mustangs are with camaros "stock" and Ford GT are rare nowadays compared to the Vette
@@lockonstratos7787 What are you talking about? The first Corvettes are some of the rarest and most sought after American cars ever produced. Obviously they're not sports cars, they're solely collector's cars but saying no one likes them is the dumbest thing I've read in awhile
The angle of the nose on C4's and C5's is purpose driven. The radiator has to be pushed forward and sat backwards 15 degrees to squeeze in that tight space, but that's also the first metallic object in the front of the car. Police Radar waves are bounced up instead of back and because of this it reduces the distance before a cop can detect you.
true, also with the fiberglass, the lidar gets absorbed by it!! i've got a coating of stealth veil over all my lights and license plate. i also use a uniden r7 and i've avoided a lot of speed traps and radars. my insurance doubled after my first speeding ticket
Wow absolutely amazing reviews lately. Thanks for going back to more reviews I know it's tough and things don't always go as planned. All your content has been great this year but it's nice to see the reviews again. Thanks for all your hard work David!
The blinker is like that becasue there is a bulb out somewhere (at least that is usually the issue). Also the brake vibration is clearly warped rotors... so not the car's fault as that is a driver issue mostly (from driving a bit too hard with them and those brakes are a far cry from the new ceramic ones)..
I figured. Nice car BTW... must be fun. Best I can do right now is a 05 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V... I live in Maine so I need front wheel drive for the snow and cannot afford to have more then one car right now :D Maybe one day I will be able to get a vette or something comparable... but I d not have a huge desire like you guys do (I love cars but that are not my main passion... plus I always feel bad in a sporty car as I like to use it too much and it makes me feel really bad for some reason).
I'm a mustang guy myself, however when I use to autox there was a guy that had won his c5 from a competition, as far as I know he changed the dampners and tires and that car almost always had fastest time of the day, combination between good car, setup and driver
As a Corvette owner, I agree with your sentiments. Mustangs are pretty and nice, but as a clan we really don’t take Mustangs seriously. It is what it is, Vette is always the top dog 🐕
I have a 04 same motor it came with it's a N/A WITH A BTR STAGE 4 CAM JUST HAD THE RPM LEVEL 5 TRANSMISSION. PUT IN NOT CHEAP 6,000 TOTAL INSTALL WAS 2,000 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY
Thank you so much for keeping me 17 years old! I was soooo much like you! The word was COOL! Truth be told I am turning 60 this April but I am also getting my pension! I have owned my now 69,956 mile "99" stock pewter C-5. That I can start doing as you say cam-it ( along with all the other goodies) maybe even a super charger? It will be so nice to finally have the 💰 after driving it stock for 7 years! Hold on to your youth as long as you can! ( "Make it last" Montrose "73")
Omg he's back guys and better than ever, two reviews in two days? We haven't seen that in a long time. keep up the good work David but don't be a traitor and do GM cars lol
That's the reason why I was subscribed to this channel in the first place. I was honestly thinking about unsubscribing last week cause content was getting dry. Glad to see he's back doing reviews
When I was car hunting a month ago, I saw a silver c5 with a 6 speed. I wanted it so bad, but it was out of my price range. So I got a 2005 mustang GT instead 😄
***** well yeah the old Mustangs are pretty slow stock. I had to do a ton of work to my Mach 1, but now she hauls ass. like, running with the C7 Z06 fast. my bank account is empty though lol.
Have one identical silver black zr1 wheels lowered v1 supercharged 6 speed tuned on 6 to 7 lbs 510rwhp , first time at track on 275 street tires ran 7.62 in 1/8 at Ohio valley outside of Louisville ky.
Auto seems to shift pretty quick when your in it though, lol. As a current C6 owner myself, It never stops amazing me how little money I've put into this LS3 and the power it puts down....all the while still delivering 30 mpg!!
the sporadic turn signal is to tell you a signal bulb is out, when you swap to aftermarket bulbs, that can happen. no hate here, just sharing information
What's the deal with everyone complaining about it being an auto? The dude probably does Highway tolls and nothing but pulls, autos are waaaay faster and more convenient in that aspect, faster shifting and more time in boost.
The C5 is an incredible project car. They're inexpensive to buy, you've got LS power, good chassis and suspension and cheap parts for the build. I've long hated the 1980's looking popup lights, but those can be removed.
Rotarys are a piece of shit! In Europe a 2005 Mazda RX-8 with 90k kilometers, for example is hardly worth 3500€ because everyone knows that this engine is gonna break within the next 20k kilometers. Also it uses 15.7ltr per kilometer in city traffic, which is a lot for a 240hp car. I like the looks of those two though. So if I'd decide to buy an RX-7or8 I'd swap that engine out faster than you can tell me not to do it! ;-) But I can kind of see what you mean. it's somehow sad to see a good engine swapped out, right? Only that the rotary isn't a good engine. But a ls-swapped s2000 is indeed sad, but then again, can I have that ap1? I could need a real engine for a RX-8, lol
I absolutely love my brothers C3 and the only C5 I've ever driven was a beautiful experience. There's not too many ways to go wrong with a vette unless you get the crossfire disaster.
+Iron Nuka or they restricted the manual to the bare bones base model so no heated seats,steering wheel,or mirrors for you of you want to drive standard
C5 has always been my favorite. I don't care what new one comes out. Maybe because it's the corvette I grew up with. Playing it on need for speed, seeing it on the streets when I'd ride my bike, etc. C5 will always be king to me
+ThatDudeinBlue dude ,I have been sending you messages about reviewing my zr1 and buddies hellcat , we live on redtop mountain , you were RIGHT THERE !!!!
cam only means headers and cam with no head work (other than supporting mods to the cam like upgraded valvesprings etc.) if it has ported/polished headwork or aftermarket heads, it SHOULD be referred to as heads/cam
Ian Fosbrook better looking?? Yeah don't think so. Terminator looks pretty much the same as a shitty mustang gt. C5 has far better shape and lines. No comparison when it comes to looks. Sound is subjective.
Some people actually want to go fast and win races and get real respect and reputation other than that "oh I drive a manual I'm a man" bullshit. Real men win the race and bitch about transmissions
+Rumoured Gaso might win a boring straight line race but auto won't help at all in a real race, where you have to make turns and quick adjustments to the gearing.
I've had automatic and manual... Don't understand why people knock the automatic. I'll never have another stick. Post it at the red light and I'll pull away while your shifting.. C5 is Awsome. Looks great and fast. Its a vette!!
+Josh Davis love that xD my thoughts exactly xD. And this hole joke about mustangs is getting old for one is its not the car fault people don't know how to handle the power out of the car with its light rear end. 2 I owned 3 of them and never had any problems own a 2016 GT right now and well it handles like a dream! A buddy of mine loves his 240sx own a shit load and said when he drove it. It felt like a 240 in the corners just more power.... See where I'm going at
Rewatching this video years later.... just picked up my first c5 a few months ago. Started laughing when I heard the turn singnal because mine does the same lmao
I had a black 03 C5 ZO6 a few years ago. That was a fast and fun car. Sold it to a middle aged guy and he put it in the ditch before he even made it home. Sould have never sold it.......sigh.
LS cam only lol that is so true I do a lot of street racing and when they say cam only I'm laughing out loud literally. they really think you're going to believe it great call out
It's good to see another corvette on the channel, but I wish it had been a little nicer of an example. It does seem like a lot of those problems are someone not installing them correctly. The '97 c5 I'm fixing for my mom has none of those problems except for an ECU issue, but that because I bought it from someone in the middle of turning it into a track car.I'm just a little sad that you aren't in Virginia anymore. After 5 years I finally got my '91 corvette daily to a good pause point, before massive modification, that I wish you could review. Because everyone should have a little c4 in their life.
personally i love the ls camaros, trans ams, and vettes. the hilarious thing is with heads, cam and 2 kits of nitrous you're looking at a good 800 horse at the crank, what other motor can one do that with lol. plus the LS2 trailblazers were awesome, 400 horsepower and can smoke all 4 wheels from a dead stop :D.
my dad owns an '01 c5 and he has had the same issue like 3 times where the gear that flips up the light breaks that it looses its threading so the gear will spin but it won't catch on to anything therefore the lights don't flip up. a while ago the car would just turn on but once it would heat up a bit the car would just shut off altogether and I think that had something to do with the gas pump not giving the engine enough gas to keep it running but we solved it pretty quickly
There is absolutely no requirement for a Corvette owner to hate Mustangs. You do, however, always have to be faster than them.
True, even if you owned both. It's the Porsche Boxters that get cocky with me on the road.

OffRoadRN The Corvette starts out faster than Mustangs.
I don't know if it's just the c5 but if your blinker goes really fast that usually means one of your lights are out
I was thinking that too lol it's a bad bulb
Yup, the blinkers on my 67 stang do the same thing. The one that's out will blink fast like that, the other will be normal
Had that issue on an old Honda Accord. I replaced the headlight and it was normal again.
Or if one of the lights were replaced with an LED bulb with no load resistor tapped in.
Yea it's out or not in the plug right
Hey guys! Just thanking you for stopping by. What do you think of the C5? Have a great day.

The blinker is blinking fast because one of your front turn signals are out. GM designed the car to alert you when the turn signals are out.
You need a 3157NA bulb by the way. I think putting a regular 3157 bulb will cause the blinker to blink like that too.
Literally JUST changed mine.
Too bad no one uses them
Not just GM. Literally every car made since like the 70s does the same thing.

+ThatDudeinBlue dude ,I have been sending you messages about reviewing my zr1 and buddies hellcat , we live on redtop mountain , you were RIGHT THERE !!!!
Red Top is not metro Atlanta lol.
cam only means headers and cam with no head work (other than supporting mods to the cam like upgraded valvesprings etc.) if it has ported/polished headwork or aftermarket heads, it SHOULD be referred to as heads/cam
but davids Mustang could beat it.
My ass lol
The song you used for the intro on the trash Bette video is also the song used for the intro in my UA-cam videos on my vlogging channel.
MURICA

2:52 Well that was fun to watch. And that boss U-Turn tho. Corvette has always been a beast car from the C5.
MEH rather have a 03 terminator... better looking, and sounds 1000 times better. and still fast af....
Ian Fosbrook better looking?? Yeah don't think so. Terminator looks pretty much the same as a shitty mustang gt. C5 has far better shape and lines. No comparison when it comes to looks. Sound is subjective.

I love the faces you make on hard acceleration! Concentration mode enabled.
It's an auto?!? Whyyyyy.
Fast
not everyone want to shift all the time bro
Some people actually want to go fast and win races and get real respect and reputation other than that "oh I drive a manual I'm a man" bullshit. Real men win the race and bitch about transmissions
+Rumoured Gaso might win a boring straight line race but auto won't help at all in a real race, where you have to make turns and quick adjustments to the gearing.
Rumoured Gaso its not that I want to "be a man because I drive a manual" its that it is way more fun and better for autocross and drifting.
I've had automatic and manual... Don't understand why people knock the automatic. I'll never have another stick. Post it at the red light and I'll pull away while your shifting.. C5 is Awsome. Looks great and fast. Its a vette!!
Looks like the most boring 600hp car i've ever seen. I had a 02 Z06 and it sounded/looked more fun than that...
i should add mine only had 400whp.
Put stock ti exhaust on for the video, so you can hear him.
+Globtac Haven (GTH) Kinda figured something like that happened. We should go for a run up there sometime. Definitely would like to hear it
so you can make that judgement based on a video of the inside of the car? yeah okay.
By his body language... yes.
Pop up headlights have a special place in my heart
GM... blah. That dude, (as does everybody) needs a Ford in his life!
Well, no one said anything about MUSTANGS...
You realize his daily driver is a mustang, right?
His daily isa pro charged 5.0
+Burrito Sandwich mustangs crash cause idiots with the name burrito sandwich jackass
+Josh Davis love that xD my thoughts exactly xD. And this hole joke about mustangs is getting old for one is its not the car fault people don't know how to handle the power out of the car with its light rear end. 2 I owned 3 of them and never had any problems own a 2016 GT right now and well it handles like a dream! A buddy of mine loves his 240sx own a shit load and said when he drove it. It felt like a 240 in the corners just more power.... See where I'm going at
I liked this for him sneaking in lose yourself line!
Speaking of cutting through the hood, my buddy and I just uploaded a video of us cutting the hood on his 370z for hood vents!
Those Vettes are awesome . sick video David. im planning to get my project car and show my progress on my channel! I'll keep you updated!
shaking when heavy on braking is warped rotors just replace and enjoy.
When it rains it pours! Nice review! I have yet to drive a C5, but when I do I can't wait to compare it to the C4 I reviewed.
This got a like the split second you said Mom's Spagetti. Bless you.
Rewatching this video years later.... just picked up my first c5 a few months ago. Started laughing when I heard the turn singnal because mine does the same lmao
I had a black 03 C5 ZO6 a few years ago. That was a fast and fun car. Sold it to a middle aged guy and he put it in the ditch before he even made it home. Sould have never sold it.......sigh.
i wish you could have reviewed Rob Ferretti's corvette
please tell me youre going to try again haha
dude i love your reviews. you do them sooo well!!! keep her up man
LS1! I miss the v8's out here in Japan! They are few and far between here. But on my last video I caught a c5 JDM spec!
The quicker-then-usual blinker usually means that one of the blinkers is out. At least thats been my experience :P
LS cam only lol that is so true I do a lot of street racing and when they say cam only I'm laughing out loud literally. they really think you're going to believe it great call out
Love to see you really putting your foot in it. Really driving the car. That's what they were made to do.👍🏾👍🏾
It's good to see another corvette on the channel, but I wish it had been a little nicer of an example. It does seem like a lot of those problems are someone not installing them correctly. The '97 c5 I'm fixing for my mom has none of those problems except for an ECU issue, but that because I bought it from someone in the middle of turning it into a track car.I'm just a little sad that you aren't in Virginia anymore. After 5 years I finally got my '91 corvette daily to a good pause point, before massive modification, that I wish you could review. Because everyone should have a little c4 in their life.
personally i love the ls camaros, trans ams, and vettes. the hilarious thing is with heads, cam and 2 kits of nitrous you're looking at a good 800 horse at the crank, what other motor can one do that with lol. plus the LS2 trailblazers were awesome, 400 horsepower and can smoke all 4 wheels from a dead stop :D.
LS are legendary my friend had a Volvo wagon with twin turbo Ls
not really legendary just really cheap and simple
+Josh Davis correct
Globtac Haven finally someone with common sense
The blinker was fast, but at a steady pace. sporadic- means not steady.
my dad owns an '01 c5 and he has had the same issue like 3 times where the gear that flips up the light breaks that it looses its threading so the gear will spin but it won't catch on to anything therefore the lights don't flip up. a while ago the car would just turn on but once it would heat up a bit the car would just shut off altogether and I think that had something to do with the gas pump not giving the engine enough gas to keep it running but we solved it pretty quickly
The headlights use plastic gears and the teeth break off. You can open it up and just flip the gear around or install an aftermarket metal gear.
Dude I watch all of your stuff! Love you man!
Got my c5 about 5 months ago I love it
C5 corvette Life it’s now 10 months
How much was it and how has ownership been
Awesome review David. I noticed how the flag was rising will you and the LS engine was singing. That Corvette is indeed...Murica!
