I would say clear tail lights would look way cooler than the bright red but either way sick transformation over all! Oh also maybe a low spoiler and a front splitter too would add a nice touch!
Now these are the videos we want! We can’t experience the true Mike shenanigans and personality if we just skip from stock to god mode cars. Awesome freakin job
Wow, what a dramatic difference! I'm not even a big fan of all black wheels, but those ZR1 wheels look 10 times better than the stock ones that were on there. I've never paid any attention to the base model C6 ever since the release of the more aggressive looking Z06 model was introduced, but this one actually looks good now. Yeah, I'd rock this in a heartbeat!
I just bought my c6 at 21 a few months ago it’s a 2011 base c6 black on black, only has 32k miles the sticker price was 29k, I agree you’re getting a lot of car for the price
Yo, did I see a muddy TRX in the background of the C6 overview in the beginning? But anyway, I love the C6!! One of the best Corvette generations for sure
That actually looks pretty good for what it was. The wheels make a huge difference for sure. The black on black is the move there. You honestly could probably do some ecm tuning and grab a little more HP and it be a pretty decent car overall.
Mike a good idea for the shop would be to add a lift or two I hope some day y'all get a bigger shop for lifts and a dyno would adding a Whipple or turbo be over 30k I would like to see going to different off-road parks like North Carolina west Virginia Indiana Kentucky and have some fun
I got some content on a black 2007 ls2 c6 on my channel as I practiced 1/4 mi runs and video editing. I absolutely LOVED the ls2 c6 and it was the first of three vettes now. Bought it at 106k miles and tracked it 50+ passes on the drag strip to 125k miles....car was a tank and would drive 40 min to the track, hotlap 5 passes, and drive home no issue. Wish I still had it but love my current c7z
Finished product looks Great Mike! I don’t thank if lower the rear any more the car looks like it’s setting perfect! Just my opinion it’s your car do as you wish sir! But I love it great easy and affordable buy and build
Street Speed 717 Great Video I think your C6 Stingray looks awesome and sounds great and I think your C7 ZR1s old wheels look absolutely incredible on it as well as C8 Style Headlights and I definitely agree that it needs a Corsa Extreme exhaust
I remained patient because you went out on your own which is very respectable and challenging - while every one else moaned about the increase in “personal ads”. But it does feel good to actually see some real content again 🎉 either way I’ll watch but glad to see it
I have a 2008 red Z06 I would love to buy the black front lights off you to swap out my red ones Love the channel man been watching for years and you influenced me to be a corvette lover
I just picked up a c6 grand sport for my new daily and love it! Coming from a mostly stock c5, it's an awesome daily upgrade. However, it's straight piped with longtubes, head work, and a btr stage 4 cam. So if you're trying to give away those corsa sports I'll gladly pay shipping for them so I can stop wearing ear plugs on my commute 😂
“Looks like they already put a LED bulb in it. It must I’d been a cheap one it’s blue” those are factory HID lights, not LED. They usually have a further throw than led too. GM went wrong by using a halogen high beam and not just using a bixenon.
I'm torn between buying and building a nice mildly modified manual C6 or SC Lotus Elise as my, likely last, really fun car. What would you recommend for a guy who likes to drive backroads hard and just wants the best driving experience for 50k or less?
Once that carbon builds up inside it will get louder. Give it a week or so. Should have just got LED conversion bulbs would have saved some money. Would have looked 10x better on a set of CCW’s
I didnt mind the stock headlights but it does look good. Love the car, got a great deal. My father owns this same car only in maroon( purple, idk) . Manual as well with extremely low miles
I also have a black base c6. Mines a 08 with the black side markers and black Cray eagles wheels. Not many good options for the base model. Im currently installing TSP stage 1 cam, headers, xpipe, and NPP z06 mufflers.
Let's see you do a budget build car for 15k.. can you find a cool, cheap,and affordable car to build for 15k that would be a "weekend warrior" to small local car shows?
Don't worry Mike, you'll be an Old Man soon enough. In the meantime, enjoy your youth! Save the Wave 🙋♂even if it's while driving an Old Man's Vette. 🤣 Oh yeah, I can't wait to see what you and Curtis are going to do to this one! Also, the Corsa Extreme is the only way to go. If it's too loud, then you're too old. 😁 Also, why don't consider changing out the CAI. the cheapest way to go is with a factory ZO6 CAI because you lose the resonator box and would gain a little more noise. These are cheap if you look for a used one. If you go aftermarket, I would go with Afe. Lastly, Curtis is Da Man! 👍👍
@@teddydavid2816 lol not so much Lightfoot. I too was told they got great mpg a day was very skeptical until I got one for myself and actually had seen it with my own two eyes.
Anything else we should do to it/change?!?
A nasty came with Texas speed long tube headers
How about a spoiler?
I would say clear tail lights would look way cooler than the bright red but either way sick transformation over all! Oh also maybe a low spoiler and a front splitter too would add a nice touch!
Would love to buy those front headlights off you to put on my red Z06
Window tint......😊
25k for that is a great deal.
19:05 fun fact, you can use tire valve stems to remove badge gunk as well. Cheaper and just stick it in a drill.
I had no idea about that😂
Hoovie is watching and is disgusted about how good of a shape this vehicle is.
Haha yeah he would hate this car. Lol
Hoovie I feel would found z06 with oem top end !!! Then endure wizards wrath dealing with fk up ls7 😅
Bro is already selling the Hawk Tuah merch , that is wild af 😅😂
Doing anything these days to stay afloat.
You know Mike has the best workers when they don’t get distracted in the slightest 12:30🤣
They're more than used to my bullshit at this point😂
Why didn’t y’all address the reverse lights? They throw off the look in the rear. Love everything else you did to the C6!
Curtis is back, he’s an OG
As a guy who got a 2011 C6 for $25k last year and put the same mods on while parked outside my apartment, this was enjoyable to watch 😂
Was I the only one expecting Mike to launch the ramps underneath when he was backing up them? 😂
The first car you tuber I ever watched still just as good as back in the C4 days
Now these are the videos we want! We can’t experience the true Mike shenanigans and personality if we just skip from stock to god mode cars. Awesome freakin job

Mike if you ever want to give the c6 too a fan, just know I'm here for you buddy 😁
I just bought my c6 at 21 a few months ago it’s a 2011 base c6 black on black, only has 32k miles the sticker price was 29k, I agree you’re getting a lot of car for the price
Yes! I like seeing these quick builds that totally change the vibe of the vehicle! More please.
The car looks sick as hell, only thing left would be a tune and cold air intake
Yo, did I see a muddy TRX in the background of the C6 overview in the beginning?
But anyway, I love the C6!! One of the best Corvette generations for sure
Just a little dirty😂
@@StreetSpeed717 Love to see it used properly!!
I wasn't much of a corvette fan until the c7 came out but the c6 definitely grew on me over the years
Seeing this man's eyes tripped me the hell out.
I do have eyes believe it or not😂
@StreetSpeed717 I've been watching since the first Z06, and it's still weird everytime I see you without sunglasses lol.
@@StreetSpeed717 they are captivating.
@@StreetSpeed717back in the day. When Mike didn't wear glasses. His whole comment section. Mike is stoned. Lol
@@alaskatrucker6085lol facts
Perfect upgrades! I never liked the C6 because I thought the headlights looked cheap but this one looks incredible.
So glad the video wasn’t filled with promo
That actually looks pretty good for what it was. The wheels make a huge difference for sure. The black on black is the move there. You honestly could probably do some ecm tuning and grab a little more HP and it be a pretty decent car overall.
Hey Mike, you should invest in some quick jacks. So we will lift the carpet additionally quick and they’re not super expensive for the shop.
Still wonder where the 19 zr1 went? Mike care to elaborate?
I was wondering the same
@@EPTDMAX I know he retuned it to stock...but it was there one day then gone
I strapped it to a SpaceX rocket and it's currently in orbit-
the biden meme
I've asked a few times but haven't gotten a reply.
Yeah put a widebody kit on it and hood with vents and a wing. Maybe a Carbon fiberhood and bumper
Add ZR1 front spoiler, side skirts, and rear spoiler either in carbon or carbon flash.
Mike a good idea for the shop would be to add a lift or two I hope some day y'all get a bigger shop for lifts and a dyno would adding a Whipple or turbo be over 30k I would like to see going to different off-road parks like North Carolina west Virginia Indiana Kentucky and have some fun
Ben said " Hwk tuah!" That thang!
Corvette looks great, I've had three black on black - one with black wheels.
Late in the evening when the sun is going down they look spectacular.
I got some content on a black 2007 ls2 c6 on my channel as I practiced 1/4 mi runs and video editing. I absolutely LOVED the ls2 c6 and it was the first of three vettes now.

This was a super fun video to watch, thanks for sharing
Would be awesome for LMR to use your original ZR1 block and build a badass engine for it!
I like these kind of videos where you’re building are working on the vehicles
I've never been a GM fan but when the came out with the Blackwing with a manual transmission....Oh Hell Yeah! The Sky Blue color is awesome!
Finished product looks Great Mike! I don’t thank if lower the rear any more the car looks like it’s setting perfect! Just my opinion it’s your car do as you wish sir! But I love it great easy and affordable buy and build
Street Speed 717 Great Video I think your C6 Stingray looks awesome and sounds great and I think your C7 ZR1s old wheels look absolutely incredible on it as well as C8 Style Headlights and I definitely agree that it needs a Corsa Extreme exhaust
These are the videos I like. More of a throwback to his earlier years. I like seeing the process of the the build,.
More fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow 🤙
That Vette reminds me of the Grandpa Vette even if the colors of the exterior and interior are different
This video felt old school, wasn't literally 50% giveaway add. Amazing
Love your videos, Mike! Been watching you for years!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks brother appreciate it!
I remained patient because you went out on your own which is very respectable and challenging - while every one else moaned about the increase in “personal ads”. But it does feel good to actually see some real content again 🎉 either way I’ll watch but glad to see it
Sweet ride! The mods give it a totally different character......New hotness.....👉🏾
Torque is where it’s at. Sure horsepower matters but the torque is far more usable.
Wow that C6 is quite the find and it looks great
We knew when the caddy showed up it was gonna be a giveaway car! The old man vette looks great with a few simple mods
Never saw a C6 with a roof fin mcgilicuddy.
2005 was the only year for that Fin. It is the antenna. 2006 and later have the antenna in the Glass. What you need to know! 😂😂
What am awesome buy and gear choices for the upgrades. Car looks amazing now
I would buy 717 giveaway items every time a corvette is a giveaway!!
was planning on doing this myself to replace my S7, very excited to see this one!
"Not broke in"... Mike buys it.... "Now broke in"
I have a 2008 red Z06 I would love to buy the black front lights off you to swap out my red ones
Love the channel man been watching for years and you influenced me to be a corvette lover

I definitely need a exhaust for my vette now 🙌
You should do the same thing to a C5. Budget build.💪🏽 I’m planning to get another one, and I’d be curious to see what you would do to it.
C6 is the sweet spot right now for Vettes. Great job on this one...
Mike you just keep making me love this channel more and move
The other style headlights from vette lights fit the c6 so much better and are way more aggressive in my opinion
Thank you for a Corvette video! Miss these ❤
Ben being slick with the Men in black quote 7:17
My man! 👊🏼
I think we all need to see an ultimate drag car!!!!
That's what the GTRs for
“Old and busted…new hotness” 😄 nice Ben
“Looks like they already put a LED bulb in it. It must I’d been a cheap one it’s blue” those are factory HID lights, not LED. They usually have a further throw than led too. GM went wrong by using a halogen high beam and not just using a bixenon.
Id probably add a ducktail spoiler too that would truly complete it.

Would have looked 10x better on a set of CCW’s
Great job on making that C6 look as good as you did for next to nothing price wise!
Looks great! What about an intake to finish it off?

05 is the red headed step child of the corvette world
Hawk Tuah shirt is mint, hopefully it gets me one of these dailies so I can racecar my vette. lol
Lol dude for me that’s the C6 I’d like too have it would be my summer time weekend/holiday cruiser ! Dang Awesome car Mike congrats bro!
Does Curtis still work for Shane
Damn 25k for an 05 seems crazy high!
That car looks SO much better now.
Can't afford a corsa but I do love pizzing off my neighbors with the straight piped exhaust I got now...lol
Wow, it looks amazing... outstanding job
Let's see you do a budget build car for 15k.. can you find a cool, cheap,and affordable car to build for 15k that would be a "weekend warrior" to small local car shows?
I have a 2005 c6 and the headlights are damaged. Are you wanting to sell the old ones?
MIKE,,,THAT CORVETTE,,,LOOKS,,,SO EPIC,,,♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Please do this with a c5 as well
Don't worry Mike, you'll be an Old Man soon enough. In the meantime, enjoy your youth!

Very good upgrades! C6's are still desirable.
Love it actual content with short plugs for the giveaway is great keep it up mike
Those corvettes also get great mpg too. My C6 was in the 22 to 24mpg all the time
You must have feather feet I kept hearing this before I got one and they can do it I know but I can stay off the pedal it's too much fun..
@@teddydavid2816 lol not so much Lightfoot. I too was told they got great mpg a day was very skeptical until I got one for myself and actually had seen it with my own two eyes.
@@tonytrumble dang well good for you maybe it's not light foot then maybe you have the coveted magic foot ✨🦶✨
Damn thing sounds great! Looks killer for that money too!
Give it some of that "HAWK TUAH" to get the mufflers off!!!😂
How about using them quieter coresa on a 1992 chevy s10 with 2.8 v6 with 5 speed...... would that suck?
Love the C6!!! Hey, what happened to your C7? Did I miss something? 🙂
Can't wait to see what your gonna do with this build
That’s a cool project! Really like it! Just need a different steering wheel!
😊 Mike, you might consider a rear Diff upgrade. That is known as the weak spot on a 2005 model.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿 great job
That thing is absolutely sharp!❤❤
Economy is great, if it wasn't you wouldn't be doing as well as you are😮
Am I the only one that thinks the stock C6 headlights look better than any of the aftermarket ones? Lol
C6 ❤ best corvette ever. Can't wait to get one some day
Yessss mike i cant believe it you did it again! Grandpa Vette number 2?
Should’ve done just a straight cat back exhaust system and call it a day would’ve sound perfect
