    2 things i love about Jay 1 hes down to earth 2 HE ACTUALLY DRIVES HIS CARS
  • @kingbrutusxxvi
    That "two year evaporative issue" had me shaking my head. I had a built 2003 Z06 as a daily until 2016 and spent three years chasing the P0442 code with no luck. I went to two dealerships, countless shops (including Corvette specialists) and no one could figure it out. Finally I got ahold of the engineer who designed the fuel system and he told me instantly that I had a nick somewhere in the threads of my gas cap. Five minutes, and a few dollars, later and three years of cussing and pulling my hair out was over. Got to love the hobby.
  • @Masterof1ne
    Jay Leno is the first corvette owner to actually have a rare corvette
  • @Z0Sick
    The C5 Z06 was my dream car since I was about 10 years old and just a couple months ago I was finally able to make that dream come true! Videos like this make me love my car even more! I love Jay Leno’s love and appreciation for cars!
  • @Corvolet5
    The C5 Z06 is one of the most underrated cars from the modern era. Manual only, incredible handling, light, inexpensive (to own and run), big spare part market, exotic styling, 911 GT3 like handling. This car has everything. And it was just the beginning of an era. What the current Z06 can do is beyond amazing.
  • @MS-mr4zm
    I know more people who had a C5 Z06, got a C6 or C7 & went back to a C5 Z06 again than I should. That’s how good it is
  • @jotighe2
    I love it when jay shows one of his own cars, but still has a guest on to talk about it. the 2 aspects of the 'leno' experience which make these the best kinds of videos
  • 525 hp in 2002 is nuts, only a handful of production cars doing that back then. Love the front end design, I prefer the stock rear though. Its a really cool car for sure!
  • @paulm6481
    Corvette an American icon. 🇺🇸
  • @GTOberfest
    I love how Jay has torn off several front chin spoilers just from driving and using them...driven as they were intended...not just collecting dust.
  • @Slowhand871
    For the money the Corvette has always been the best performance to value in the market.
  • Man, this dude really knows this car inside & out. Another great, impressive and informative episode Jay - thanks for sharing.
  • @samsen201
    This is one of the most beautiful Corvettes ever made. What a beauty.
  • I've been super stressed all week because I had my first colonoscopy today! So, I decided to treat myself to a video of Jay Leno's Garage tonight. As always, I love it!!
  • @eternal.kraken
    I remember seeing this car as well as some of Jays other toys on an episode of Car Crazy almost 20 years ago. I thought it was so cool back then and it's still cool today. Glad to see it highlighted again!
  • @jezuzfreek777
    That setup sounds perfect. Just quiet enough to sound tame but so eager to snarl and snap when opened up.
  • @jazzbariman
    I am laughing at the talk of the zero to sixty speed of this car. One needed to use a calendar to measure the time from zero to sixty of my first car. I once got passed by a flock of geese walking next to me while driving that thing. There truly is nothing better than Corvette. Great car. Thank you for the video.
  • @detomaso_6235
    Great. Just what I needed. Jay making guys lust over C5Zs so the prices go even higher when I'm hoping to buy one next year.
  • @Sloozen1
    Very impressed by Paul Rivera. He know his stuff and thinks objectively. He honestly mentioned the quickness of Tesla and Lucid. Cheers
  • @seeri11jr
    Gotta Love Jay Leno, " This is my 3rd front lip" on a rare car... No Garage Queens ❤
