Before and After: Z06 Track Test with Bolt-On Upgrades – Detroit Muscle S7, E5

1. The C5 the American dream

2. Had a 2003 Z06 with a Texas speed 383 stroker kit and all the other supporting mods you could do was a little over 500 at the wheels which is great power for a C5 Z06 N/A had to be somewhere around 600 at the crank was a fun car sold it and got a C7 GS I kinda miss my C5 😢

3. Great video and the right approach to upgrading a classic car with its focus on going around corners

4. 147 oil temp?!? seems very low.

5. Man, these guys are living the dream.

6. the mgw shifter is best one

7. You guys couldn’t pick a better day to track the car

8. No offense but you guys shouldn't have wasted your money on that suspension you should have got rid of the leaf springs and went with a true coilover it will and does I'll handle the leaf spring!

9. The best mod you can do for C5 is coilovers sway bars and polyurethane bushings c6 Z06 brakes you will be able to handle with pretty much any car out there including high-end Porsches new zo6s you name it

10. 140 F sounds little too cool for the oil. On a stock car it likes to hover around 220 F when fully warmed up, which is just hot enough to boil out moisture from the oil. I'd worry that not getting it hot enough is not only going to have it at suboptimal viscosity (too thick) but also not doing it's job properly due to moisture. Probably going to have to change the oil a lot more if you can't keep it hot enough to boil moisture out of it. Synthetic is good up to like 450 F and sometimes even higher, so 220 F is nothing, just wanted to add that in case some guy with 1970's oil info wants to run in and start freaking out about the oil running too hot.

11. Poorly executed comparison, you start off saying you have old, hard, worn tires, should have put the new tires on first as that should not be part of the upgrade! Test the old suspension etc… with new tires, then do the upgrades and retest, no way of knowing what your upgrades actually done the way you did it.

12. I noticed they went up in front tire size…is it better that way?

13. Shifter feels like a pudding cup. Relatable lol.

14. nice progress

15. God I can not stand scripted tv style shows

16. those car are so cheap but perform super good.Anyone who has a regular job 8-5 monday to friday can afford one and its one of the best bang for your bucks.

17. Great vid. A little bonus I picked up from this is how I would look like sitting in a Z06 going full throttle. Thanks Matt for representing the Chubby Gearhead Community.

18. WELL 25K WORTH OF GOODIES need to show some how…………………………………

19. what a dream build!

20. The regular C5 remains one if the most beautiful sportscars ever made i.m.o. Not a big fan of the C5 Z06 with that sharply slanted rear window. That upsets what is otherwise design perfection.

21. Nice!

22. The c5 is absolutely slept on ls1 that makes 350 throw a aftermarket fuel pump tube it on 91 cam it and throw some boost or spray and it’s a fun 600-800hp

23. This c5z is just perfect with those mods

24. loved this build, great car

25. Good job guys, good times!

26. Blowing a lot of smoke !! Yikes!!

27. I love my Conti's 😀

28. Amazing job with that Corvette gentleman. You all are inspiring me to dream about building one of these myself. Thank you.

29. Great video. Est one yet for me since I’m a huge vette fan.

30. Who makes Matt's front splitter???

31. After you go around a track .. you should get better every round unless the car gets hot and parts degrade… .. .. good tho.

32. 14:40 The hoses on the bottom of the oil cooler have me nervous about dips and bumps in the road. Can you confirm they're out of the way enough for that inevitable bottom scratching dip we all don't expect? Great video! It was cool to see the whole transmission section out of the car
