An American Classic Grows Up! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Mike - October 14 - 8:34 amI did not set out to buy a Corvette. I was going to purchase a SL or CLK series Benz or a 6-series BMW (all available as convertibles). I visited the dealerships, I test drove the cars, they all had power and refinement and, yet, bored me stiff! I happened to pull into a Chevy dealer (for the first time in 20 years) ... the new C6 Vettes both resembled their heritage and yet looked different. I test drove one. I fell in love! This car LOVES the road! The seating position is perfect, the responsiveness of the engine is amazing, and you feel like you couldnt come unglued from the asphalt if you tried. This car inspires confidence. I bought a fully-loaded ragtop the same day.

The 6th generation of a classic - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Chris - September 16 - 7:15 pmThe car not only grabs the attention of passerbys, but you also have the speed to get away from gawkers at anytime. The only complaint I would have is the stiff suspension on long trips. If you replace the runflats with a non runflat tire it will take care of the problem though

Believe or not GM did something right! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By rob brownstein - January 14 - 7:43 amI only have 600 miles but it has been the best 600 miles Ive ever driven. The response from any given speed, from any gear, is remarkable. What a head turner. No one gives a 911 a second look, but a C6 gets nothing but looks and smiles. Go buy one, highly recommended.

Excellent Corvette - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By justin - June 14 - 12:20 amThis car is the best car I have ever had. It drives like I want it to, but the only thing I dont like about it is the personal design of the car. Thanks for making such a car I love it I hope yall will one day come up with even a better design than that is.

Great Fun - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Joe Starkman - December 17 - 12:50 amJust back from driving Hwy. 3 between Vancouver, B.C. and Calgary, AB. Fabulous 2 lane blacktop, mountain passes and fast curves. The Vette handled it with ease...superb cornering, awesome acceleration for the quick pass on the 2-laner. Thats the good news...the looks, the handling, the power and the price. Its the details that GM needs to work on. The removable sunroof squeaks. the 6-speed is average at best...not even close to the Porsche shifter. The quality of the interior finish plastic materials is just plastic. Dont get me wrong...the Vette is great!
