My fourth Corvette and best - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Bill - April 24 - 1:36 pmThis is the ultimate Corvette. I had an 03 Z06 which was nice but couldnt hold a candle to the 427 rocket.The folks at Chevy have given us a vehicle that I dont mind paying sticker for. This is the "baddest" Vette ever. I cant say enough nice things about this car. My wife thinks this car is to powerful. Keep it comming Chevrolet.

Super Car by Anyones Definition - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Chip Cochran - April 22 - 5:24 pmThis car is unbelievable! One stomp on the gas at 3,500rpm or higher is the thrill of a lifetime - under 3,500 - fun and tame! Great gas mileage and the power is extreme if you demand it. Fabulous build quality and design. I have never had a car I enjoyed more. I will keep this the rest of my life as a weekend fun machine. Cant believe I actually got one - 2nd one my dealer got. Only waited 7 months.

Great performance, not much else. - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Paul - April 18 - 10:49 pmFirst Corvette, 42 years old, have wanted one since I was a kid. Have driven friends and relatives C3, C4, C5 Vettes but the C6 is of course the best to date. The positives: Awesome power and acceleration, great exterior styling. The negatives: poor build quality and realiability. Hard to get in and out of even at my age. Road noise premeates the cabin. Been to the dealer twice in four weeks of ownership wipers stopped working/a wire got cut by the wiper assembly itself, popping sound from the rear. Both issues were fixed by the dealer. Great car for the $ in exchange for the performance and acceleration you get, overall quality is not there though.

C-6 vs SL55 - had both, kept C-6 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By PHIL - April 17 - 10:56 pmThis is my 3rd Corvette ,2 C-5s & now C-6. This is one high quality, comfortable, high performance machine. I did not get the nav system although I here it is very good. Until I sold it a few weeks ago, I also had a Mercedes SL55. Feature for feature, the C-6 can match the SL55 and while it is not as smooth or quite, it is actually more comfortable. I sold the SL55. Lost the status, but not the pleasure [I drove my C-5 convertible 85% of the time and the SL just set in the garage. Fit and finish are excellent. Interior is improved but still needs to be improved. Overall, why would anybody buy a Porsche for twice the price.

C6 Is a Great Corvette - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Jeff - April 3 - 8:10 pmNo surprise, you are buying an engine. They have just done a great job with the LS2. Performance-wise, the C6 is about as close to an engine stand with wheels as you can get. What will surprise you is how liveable the C6 is day to day. Driving it all most too much at the moment, but cant seem to get myself back into the other car. The other surprise is value. For the price, there really is nothing else. The options will undo this quickly, so just get what you need.

The closest thing to a fighet jet - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Sound of Speed - April 1 - 5:26 pmThis car is an amazing car! 70 grand and able to beat Ferraris, Lambos and some of the worlds fastest cars. It can turn in with the best of them and then run on the straight lines. 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds is what I was able to pull off. I took this car to the track an I was ahead of cars that cost in excess of 100K. I love the Head Up Display (HUD), it allows you to see your RPMs and speed without your eyes leaving the road, everything is in the perfect place, shifter, pedals, steering wheel and the seats hold you in while you pull those 1G turns an still allow you to be comfy on long drives. Gets looks from everyone and sounds great. Turn the HUD on and floor it at the stop light

Definitely a 10 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Lipps - March 25 - 11:02 amI owned a beautiful white 2005 coupe with Z51 and 6 speed manual and put over 6000 miles on it before I decided I really needed a convertible. Although the Z51 was a monster, it was still very pleasant to drive, and a lot of fun when pushed to the limit. Then I bought this beautiful black convertible with 6 speed paddle shift auto and magnetic select ride. Wow .. what a difference! As smooth riding as a Cadillac with performance like the Z51 .. and bonus - 25 mpg! This Corvette is the first car I have ever bought, and I have owned many, that is absolutely perfect. The difference between this Corvette and the last one is like the difference between .. well, black and white!

Wonderful Car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
By Wonderfull Car - March 22 - 6:37 amI have had over thirty new cars. This is the best I have every had. It not only is a pretty car it is fun to drive. I knew we were going to buy it the minute my wife drove it. We are both in late 60s. Of course we have always loved performance cars so I thought I would like the GTO. I traded the 04 GTO on the Corvette. Cant believe how much better quiality is in the Corvette. This is our first Vette and cant understand why it took us so long to try one.
