Hello,
Thought it was time to introduce myself. I'm an automotive YouTuber from San Diego, CA. I've been a car enthusiast my entire life. Love pure manual transmission sports cars and track prepped production cars like the 911 GT3 R/S and Corvette Z06.
My YouTube channel StickShiftStudios will be mostly focused around my two vehicles: 2002 Quick Silver Metallic C5 Corvette Z06 (Owned since Dec 2015) & my 2004 Rio Yellow Pearl Honda S2000 (Owned since Oct 2010). Videos include reviews, comparisons, canyon drives and part installs. Since I live in Sunny So Cal they are both my daily drivers.
Please check out my channel to view Corvette content. Username: StickShiftStudios

I know there are a few other C5 Z06 owners that are also S2000 owners, so I know I'm in good company. I'm still new to Corvettes, which is why its still mostly stock.
The Corvette is essentially stock: Skip shift eliminator, Hurst classic black shift ****, foot well cup holder, Fixed column lock after getting stuck in my garage (oh what fun), short radio antenna (has no reception). Car is lowered 1/4" on stock bolts. In the future I would like to do the by pass mod for the Ti exhaust, a shot throw shifter, and get some radio flyer headlights.
The S2000 has 86,000 miles and hasthe following modifications: K&N FIPK CAI, Greddy Spectrum Elite Dual Exhaust, Berk Hi Flow Cat, and Koni Sport Yellow Shocks.
Both cars are running Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports in there respective stock sizes. I've been extremely pleased with these tires. The grip in the wet is excellent in the S2000. Z06 has never seen rain.
I have really enjoyed the corvette so far, two years has gone by in flash. High lights so far have to be when I took it camping at Big Sur for Monterrey car week, and my drives out to Julian CA. Had 14,800 miles on the clock when I bought it. It now has 24,000 miles on it. The 405ft lbs of torque is awesome, and I love the contrast in both of the cars characters. Excellent juxtaposition.
Here are a few photos.

Love the Z06's huge trunk. Swallowed tent, stove, cloths, camera gear, sleeping bags and ice chest for 2 people for a week trip.
