Wheeler Dealers
 

To nights Wheeler Dealers is featuring a 2002 C5 Z06. Comes on at 9 pm Eastern time.

watching it now. LOL it has the rocking seat.

Ant doesn't seem to dig Corvette's.

But Mike sure does.

Just catching the end of it, but set the receiver to record the next repeat episode later tonight.:thumbs:

Ant loved the vette once behind the wheel.

Just finished watching...great show. Tackled some C5 Issues that we have all discussed here,,,

I think Ant did a partial job on the clutch, he did not replace the slave or rear main seal. If you are dropping the drive line to do a clutch, do the rear main and clutch slave. There in no sense in doing this job twice.
I did possibly see a better way to fix the rocking seats though.

Mike said at $16K, "it was more bang for the buck than they ever bought before."

Was cool to watch, the C5Z06 still looks great on track!

Typical unwarranted British hate for American sports cars. Sheep following the Jeremy Clarkson playbook.

He sure didn't hate it after he drove it.

Yes, I've speaking to many's pre-conceived notions of Corvettes without driving them, because of wankers like Jeremy Clarkson with their biases (and the masses listen to it as gospel).

Man oh man I think my next Vette will be a Z06. That show was awesome would watch it again. They did one way back with a 68 convertible. When I was looking this spring I looked at C4 LT4's, ZR1's, and Z06's. But they have got me wanting one now. I love the look of the fixed roof coup.

The most interesting part which I'm surprised no one mentioned is the repair to the ECBM.

Ant usually never gets excited about any car. He sure did enjoy driving it and he really knew how.

Excellent paint correction explanation.

Just an FYI for everyone, this show will be rebroadcast on Saturday November 17th. at 6PM on the Velocity channel. If you have FIOS it's channel 631...

I never understood why so many Brits hate the Vette...must be out of jealousy because they don't make anything that'll compete with it...

For everyone saying that Ant didn't like the Corvette until the end when he got to drive it, you do realize that the show is scripted? Who knows what he really thinks. I do miss the old, early episodes of Wheeler Dealer with Edd China and the tiny budget it seemed much more authentic.
