Fun Car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By bbp - November 13 - 1:36 amThis car is absolutely worth every penny. The steering is much better than the 2005 model, and the power is exhilerating. The interior does seem a bit cheap but it is still comfortable. Surprisingly the highway mileage is actually pretty good, assuming that you do not hot dog around.

Jims 2006 z06 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Jim - November 5 - 12:43 pmMy car is a Black 2006 Z06. I drove the car off the showroom in Long Beach Ca to Modesto CA. 300 miles of fun. A very cool car. Looks great and other people always looking at it. It drives like a race car. Very powerful. The car will take off. Very comfortable interior and the touch screen navigation/stereo is very fun

Straight shooter - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By IcesStraight - October 29 - 12:13 amThis car pulls no punches and I love it! The steering wheel is too close to the drivers head and is sure to send many to the hospital when the airbag deploys.

What an awesome machine - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By sfcc - October 23 - 2:05 pmYour writers are correct!! The C6 ranks right up there with some of the finest sports cars made. I have driven 2500 miles. It has been 2500 miles of quiet,tight,comfort and responsive miles I have ever driven. Its fun to drive,great to look at and 17 miles to a gallon in stop and go traffic isnt bad either. Other drivers give this car alot of respect in traffic by making room for me. Forget the power roof for $2,000.00, manual is just as quick.

Z06, a race car for the street. - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Terry - October 21 - 3:15 am427 cubic inches with 505 horsepower and 475 ft. lbs. of torque in a 3100 lb package. The car is absolutely awesome in acceleration, braking, handling. I have owned 6 Corvettes in the past. This is by far the baddest production Corvette produced so far. The torque of the engine is seamless from idle to its 7,000 rpm redline.This vehicles performance is spectacular. It is almost unbelievable this car is so docile and easy in bumper to bumper traffic as it is right at home on the race track doing 150mph plus. The 6 piston calipers up front with 14" rotors and the 4 piston calipers with 13.5" rotors making stopping unbelievable. On the race track there is absolutely no fad.

Bad machine - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By PATRICK - October 20 - 3:47 pmThis is my fifth Vette, 61,66,78,96 & 06 and this is the best overall. Speed, performance, looks, and good ole American muscle. Compared to foreign cars this one is a steal and a head turner. Congrats to gm and more importantly the corvette division. Great job, keep em coming and make the Vette live on, for ever and ever.

LBM Coupe - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Bill - October 19 - 8:52 pmSecond one Ive had, much better than 2002. Daily driver and vacation driving are a pleasure. Quiet until you ask for more, nice quality on the interior, body is solid, anndlin is great. Mag ride is worth the money, and Corvette Museum delivery is a nice option.

Fun for all ages - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By ljarodsky - October 19 - 3:58 pmMy first Corvette, having owned Mercedes and BMWs. I wondered about quality, but the quality is excellent, performance is fantastic, and its fun to drive, as well as reasonalbe fuel mileage. If you are driving a foreign performance car you should give this one a try. I rate it very highly and Ive had them all.

Best car ever - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By new vett owner - October 17 - 9:01 amThis car goes above and beyond its reputation. It is fun to drive and has surprisingly good gas mileage when cruising on the highway. Contrary to critics, the interior is very nice in my opinion. The 06 handles much better than the 05.
