700 hp "No Lift Shift" Chevy C5 Z06 Corvette on Steroids!!!
Рет қаралды 282,976
Жыл бұрынShooting with Duke Langley was one of the most intense rides I've ever experienced! Duke has been racing for 30 years and building cars even longer. He took a perfectly good C5 Z06 Corvette and put it on a diet (2800 lbs), dropped a Mast Motorsports 700 hp LS7 in, sequential transmission and some serious suspension upgrades to create an evil and highly competitive street legal race car. And right after our shoot he went to compete at Laguna Seca Raceway in the Optima Ultimate Streetcar Challenge in the outlaw class and laid down the 2nd fastest lap ever on 200 treadwear tires...2nd only to Randy Pobst so sit back and enjoy the ride...

I daily drove my '03 Z06 for 11 years before a semi hit me on the interstate and destroyed the car. It had a mild build (494whp) and, as lightweight as these are, the car was a beast for "regular" street use. I have a much faster Z06 now but I still miss that thing. The C5 doesn't get the love it deserves. With just a few mods they're so much more fun to drive than the C6 or C7.
@ssoffshore5111 Жыл бұрын
I've had all of those too. The C5Z and C6Z have a lot more in common. I really liked my C5Z, but I think the C6Z is by far my favorite of the three!
@jesterokjones4954 Жыл бұрын
500 whp is absolutely perfect for the street, you DO NOT need any more than that to have serious fun on public roads. All these kids that watch these 1320 videos and think you have to have 1000 HP car to be fast have never even been in a 1000 HP car much less even driven anything over 350 HP. I could scare most people into shitting their pants in my old 250 whp built and gutted K-swapped 95 Civic coupe.

@@jesterokjones4954yeah after you go over 500hp and closer to 1000hp it usually makes the car LESS fun in street use, because you cant really push it anymore, which makes it really unsatisfying. Great for highways at that point thats about it.

Thank you for reviewing a car that's on the Optima Tour.. It's my favorite car show. As a guy that owns a modified FRC 99 Vette and has had a Modified c4 I'm definitely impressed.. It's a lot of good C5 FRC and Z06 cars on the tour..Those cars are from the factory very much close to race cars. suspension, seats, wheels, and tires is all you really need to be competitive. It's probably the best bang for the buck...👍🏽🏁
