I had one just like that in velocity yellow with competition grey wheels for 5yrs back when I got it in 2007. That car was a head of everything at the time. Embarrassed the F430, the 911 TT, Lambo....3.5 sec 0-60 and low 11's@123-125mph. Some guys even got into the 10's bone stock. To me, this is the best vette ever. Its light weight, is a clean, good looking design, manual tranny, big NA engine, great handling, and very fast. The power after 4500RPM is explosive. I plan on getting another one in the near future and this time, its not going anywhere.
I had one of these. Fantastic machine. I HIGHLY recommend the Motive 4.10 ring & pinion gear set to replace the stock 3.42 gear set. Runs VERY strong with this upgrade.
Yellow C6 Z06 is THE quintessential Corvette in my opinion! Fantastic choice. "This is totally what I've been missing from modern cars. This is what we've been chasing, but it existed the whole time!" Love it, Jakub!
This is probably the best C6 review I’ve seen. No one ever covers the cylinder head issues or the skip shift function (most people get rid of that). Another thing to watch out for is the wobbly ass harmonic balancer that always fails across multiple GM platforms. Fix that while doing the heads! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it.
The cylinder head issue was recently very well covered by C&S Corvettes. Owning a 06 Z06 has me paranoid because of the internet and it’s being blown out of scale. Mines got 60k kms on it as it’s a USA in Canada so I miss out on that amazing 320 kph dash. But what an amazing car. Horrible seats but amazing car.
@@TheSurfRyder C&S is a dedicated Corvette channel so it’s not surprising that he’d mention it, but a channel like this hitting the finer details of the car rather than just broad strokes is refreshing. Also, the paranoia is warranted. It’s a well documented issue and if any mods are planned addressing it is critical. Throtl just did a C6z build without doing the heads or research and it’s pretty much a guaranteed time bomb. I have a 13 GS, balancer started wobbling within 5k miles of daily driving it lol. The issues are real.
C6 Corvette is the best value for a modern Corvette. It’s going to be a classic, no doubt. Even the base models -It’s design is simple & beautiful, it sounds great, drives great, and is fast. Have fun!
I have a C6Z which I use as my DD, these cars are epic! I'm excited to see it on the channel. Anyone who's never driven one owes it to themselves to do so!
I’m excited to finally watch new quality videos on this car. I’ve owned my Zo6 for two years and it’s been a blast. Not much modification and it kills some pretty serious new supercars
That shot of the white tube socks though Seeing you guys transition from bros to dads in front of my eyes is *astounding* and it is not lost on me how much you're leaning into it to good effect C6 Corvette fits nicely with this bro-->dad theme too
@@haziqar1672 for sure thats why the vette his the best sports car to buy used cause whatever year you will buy the car his gonna look good even the c4 and their not to expensive on the markert so you dont need to buy a new one
This is awsome. The c6 is my favorite generation of corvette and the z06 in yellow is the pinnacle for me. Can't wait for the rest of this series. Good job and keep it up!

the entire design still looks great, apart from the body colored headlights imo. i always thought they looked kinda weird (black c6s don't have this problem).
Eagerly waiting for the next video in the series. I have a 2009 C6 Z06 with a Stage 2 Katech. It jumped from about 440 rwhp to 550 but still very drive-able outside of the track. If you're doing engine work i would definitely recommend addressing the valve issue if nothing else for peace of mind.
After searching everywhere for lugnuts for my Chrysler 300. I remembered you guys and gave eBay motors a try. And found oem brand new ones for 100$ including shipping and processing. Satisfied. Thank you
I picked up a 07 with 1700 miles on it in 2021 before the market exploded so blessed to have got it at the perfect time!!! Just rolled 5800 miles on it will start my engine mods soon, I really love these cars can’t wait to see what y’all do with it 🤙
So awesome guys, I can't wait for more episodes! This is one of my favorite 'attainable' driver's cars. I have a C5 Z06 with a hand-built/purpose-built LS7 making about 750 HP and it's just an unbelievable feat of achievement from GM.
Found you guys a couple months ago and I can say you have quickly made it to the top of my car channels quickly! Woohoo for you! lol. I almost want to sell my C5 Z06 now. This didn't help me at all. What an amazing engine! Can't wait to see the mods.
@@TheStraightPipes Agreed, both good choices. But I am sure this LS7 is gonna be a "bit more powerful" when you two are finished. Heck, maybe do a C5 Z too and build it up and see what you get. That would be a neat comparison.
The C6Z is absolutely iconic. You guys could not have picked a better car to do this with and it was a true pleasure watching this episode! So glad I picked up my C6 before UA-cam began going absolutely nuts with them (for good reason).
This is so sick! keep the content coming! i even watch videos of cars i hate thanks to you guys. Keep buying more cars!! i promise i will keep using ebay motors.
You guys have a 2lz (luggage shade, heated seats, telescoping wheel etc). sat nav radio was optional with 2lz. 3lz came out in the later years all that added was stitched leather dash and door panels.
What a kickass car for doing a series! It's one of the cars I'm looking at to replace my '13 Mazda 3 hatch (manual, of course!). I've driven puddle-jumpers for WAY too long! I can't WAIT to see what you two crazy Canucks do to this thing!!
That’s a sick Corvette the build on that it’s gonna be amazing I think this is the most excited I’ve seen you guys for a build so I know it’s gonna be good can’t wait to see it
Just now starting the series. Can't wait to watch the rest. I bought a 2006 Z06 last year. Yinz were saying the trans is great, but drop in a short shifter. Great upgrade. I don't feel 38k usd was a steal tho, its fair.
Hey Jakub, the fuel gauge is at the bottom right just in case you have a tough time finding it 🤣 Also, hope the rectangle start button suits your style more than the square button from the Camaro.
SO you guys got my ABSOLUTE affordable dream muscle car! I have wanted a C6 Z06 since I first remember seeing the 7.0L LS7 come out with it...The LS1 & LS2 were the big V8 boys for all GM products at the time...My Dad's buddy had a C6 Sting Ray with the LS2, and his other friend had a 2004 Pontiac GTO w/ the LS1 (only year of the 3 model years of the GTO with an LS1) And when they released this Z06, It was the biggest thing! I have ALWAYS LOVED this car. Being such a Honda and Vtec fan But, growing up with a father who is a Chevy guy with 6 Nova's under his belt (his current one is a 383 stroker BEAST) I LOVE the high revving LS7! I cannot wait to see what you guys do with this!
The Corvette Z06 is the best sports car bargain!!- Doug DeMuro, And he almost brought one as well!! Also.. you guys have pretty much owned most of weird cars, and sports cars. So i figure that you should buy or at least review a used SUV, and i mean like a real or interesting performance SUV, or an off road oriented SUV, or maybe a minivan from the 90s, 2000s or even 2010s.
I daily a 07 c6 base these cars are amazing and I'm super excited to see what you guys do with yours and to watch the fun yall have in it. Looking forward to the next video keep up the great work Jabuk & Yuri.
Watch the 2nd video out now! ua-cam.com/video/mqVDNX30GJc/v-deo.html
KEEP DOING FUN STUFF LIKE THIS AND I WILL NEVER STOP WATCHING. Love you guys!

One of the last … big tire , big engine , manual , light car with a natural balance .

The Corvette has never been light lmao
3100lbs is pretty decent imo
@@cocainechestpains decent? It's not the heaviest, but that's not light

3.73 is the choice of basically all track drivers. 4.10 is for drag racing for the most part.
I see C6 Z06, I click.
That will always be one of my top 3 cars ever.

Can't wait to watch the Z06 build.

Ha ha, Two men in jean shorts usually not going in the right direction, but it's a car technology channel, and I own a C6 Z, so I have to watch.
It's all about the epic engine with this car. It's awesome.
i think this model still looks great and will always look great
Agreed! The last gens with a proper vette taillights
Value for these cars will continue to rise! When gas cars stop being sold, these will be our generation’s “muscle car”
@@haziqar1672 for sure thats why the vette his the best sports car to buy used cause whatever year you will buy the car his gonna look good even the c4 and their not to expensive on the markert so you dont need to buy a new one
I think that the C6 Vette is the most Vette looking Vette of all of the Vettes.
@@acebrawler i love all the genarations for me their his not one model thats ugly but c4 and up are my favorites
This is truly my dream car, when I was young I could never have afforded it now it's impossible to find one in a good condition for a fair price 😭
Skip shift bypass for these cost like 60$ you can just buy one and then you can shift normally
This is awsome. The c6 is my favorite generation of corvette and the z06 in yellow is the pinnacle for me. Can't wait for the rest of this series. Good job and keep it up!
Just bought a yellow 800whp c5 z06 , 36k km, one of a kind, looking forward with that series
NICE, $36K is a steal in this market
I'm at the point where I just like the video before it starts. Keep it up guys!

You have a C5 Z with an LS7? Sweet!
The cut off blue jean shorts and long white socks are classic. I remember wearing them in the 80’s.
Literally love all of your content. The corvette dad get up keeps getting better the longer you look at it. Excited for more build videos like this!
Best car I've ever owned. Everybody who I take out in mine can't believe how fast it is. A mild cam and headers are an absolute must. Easy 100+hp

Any z06 is cool. We looked at getting a c5 z06 and doing a twin turbo kit...but went with this instead
@@TheStraightPipes Agreed, both good choices. But I am sure this LS7 is gonna be a "bit more powerful" when you two are finished. Heck, maybe do a C5 Z too and build it up and see what you get. That would be a neat comparison.

Great choice, can't wait to see the rest of the build series!
I love these series where you guys build different cars. Can’t wait to see where this Z06 goes 😁
this is the best looking corvette imo, and yellow matches this very well.
First time I actually go in to check one of your sponsors. Really like the ebay Garage. Way to go guys! Keep up the good work!
Is this real?
This is gonna be a blast of a series
C6 C7 are Legend!
Your Corvette guys now! Congrats! A 1978 Anniversary two-tone silver was my first Corvette!
Also love from Africa Zimbabwe I love your content I watch it all the time
One of the best videos you guys made… C6 for life
Bringing the 90's vibe with those jean shorts boys! Great new show👍🏽
the one that designed the c6 i just want to say thank you i wish the new corvette atleast will look like a c6
This is the kind of content that keeps me coming back to yall. Very entertaining and sets you apart from other channels.
SO looking forward to this series! Beautiful car!
Glad to see your changing it up a bit
The moment that I'm blessed to get this car. It's mine....absolutely the best corvette

@@TheStraightPipes Thank you! A lot of teasers in this videos so looking forward to them.
Awesome - I know it's not the nicest or the quickest, but a C6 Z06, especially in black would be so fun...

Gotta love that yellow! Once it's built, time to go to Cali and benchmark against both Donut's Hi-Car and Lo-Car!
C6 z06 prices just shot up another 25% thanks guys 😅
Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
That’s a sick Corvette the build on that it’s gonna be amazing I think this is the most excited I’ve seen you guys for a build so I know it’s gonna be good can’t wait to see it

Best vette era imo that body style is lights out
Dream car (not yellow lol).
The mics really pick up the droning. I enjoy the videos where you guys get stoked about buying a new car.
The skip-shift will only lock out 2nd gear. You can shift into 3rd or 4rth no problem. I used to go from 1-3 when going around town .
Great choice. I had a C5 Z06. Great car for the money even today
Having driven a C6 Grand Sport I really want one now!
Heads, cam, intake, exhaust is the way to go on these.
Awesome choice of a car build. One day I would love to own a C6 Z06.
Love the corvette guy outfits 🤣🤣
