Everyone that knows of Matt Farah, knows that he is a die-hard Corvette fan– there’s no denying that. But, for this very reason, a couple of things regarding his recent video came as a surprise to us.
One being: with all the cars he has driven and his hundreds upon hundreds of “One Takes,” he had never reviewed a C6 Z06. But, now, he has had the opportunity to take this gorgeous Z06 for a spin around the mountains of the Angeles Forest. But this isn’t any ordinary C6– the owner swapped out the perfectly good stock LS7 for a 6.2-liter LS9. Along with 15 pounds of boost from a Vortech T-Trim Supercharger, this build is pushing over 715 horsepower to the wheels. But, aside from its great power, this car also looks and sounds quite badass. With 700+ horsepower and a mean-sounding supercharger under the hood, smiles ensue.
The second thing that caught our attention– Matt discreetly announced that he was selling his personal C5. After a quick google search, we find… the news is true, it’s gone, and fans are not too happy about it. Matt owned the Corvette for over 19 years and claims “Rather than sadness, I feel relief. I had a long time with that car, and we had lots of adventures together. We saw some great roads, had some great laughs, and it even got me laid exactly one time.” Now, its parking spot is taken by his girlfriend’s Volvo, but don’t worry– he claims it’s going to be replaced by something much, much, better. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
