  Riding on a cloud - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Vettbabe2006 - March 20 - 8:30 am

  I recently traded my 1998 Corvette for a new 2006 Victory Red Coupe and I must say, Chevrolet has hit another one out of the park with the C6! The Corvette just keeps getting better with each new class. Driving my new C6 is like riding on a cloud. I love my new car and I would recommend it to anyone considering a luxury sports car.

  2006 Corvette Convertible, 6 speed MT - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By romieb - March 14 - 5:21 pm

  This is the best Corvette I have ever driven. I have a lot of mobility problems yet I have no problem getting in or out of this vehicle. I have driven every generation of Corvettes and though all were fun, this one has been a pleasure to own. I think they finally got it right. Minor problems with the battery and power top.

  Senses Beware - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Brian - March 14 - 12:21 am

  With 300 miles on the odometer, I came to rest at a familiar intersection. I then proceeded to roll the left window down of my monterey red 2006 Corvette. As the window disappeared within the door, I stuck my head out and screamed...."Thank God for the engineers that created the Vette!" With the window now up and the light now green, the emotions of excitement, gratitude, and disbelief of how wonderful a car could be begins to build yet again. In short, unbelievable acceleration, comfort, exacting heritage and beauty is the 2006 Corvette. Definitely in a class all its own.

  The Best Corvette I Ever Owned - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Kirby - March 4 - 4:28 pm

  This is my 15th Corvette (first one, a 57, in 1959). It is without any question the best in every category. Performance is awesome, and my gas mileage is above the published values.

  Over the top - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By blemley - March 2 - 10:39 am

  This is my third Z06. I must say that I have been very surprised by the level of quality in the whole car. Every feature has been tweaked, improved or replaced. The interior is top notched. Every surface feels better to the touch. Since this one is based on the coupe it will now will allow me to carry larger items in the back which is amazing for a super car. This car is very efficient, comfortable, fast, affordable and athletic. The list of exotic materials in this car is simply amazing. The powerplant is this car is built with incredible strength and ability. I drove other cars in its performace range but the Z06 out shines them overall.

  Not bad - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Jim - February 13 - 6:16 pm

  So far so good. Its my 3rd Vette and by far the best. The interior could use some upgrades in the trim areas , maybe some wood grain around the radio. It does get 28 mpg at 70 mph, city is a little less then expected but the same as my other Vettes mid 14 to 15. not bad for 400 horses.

  Corvette C6- best all around - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By vicred-C6 - February 12 - 4:58 pm

  Im glad I decided to wait for the 2006. A very upgraded (sportier) steering wheel & interior improvements were needed. Other than those minor improvements, this car is in a leauge of its own. Nothing else will give this type of saticfaction on the road. World class performance at such a value when compared to the cars in its class(Porshe, Viper, Lotus, BMW). My victory red with red interior 6 sp., with the 3LT package is a perfect blend of performance, style and comfort. This is an everyday car that looks and performs better than anything else. Trust me-GO DRIVE ONE!!!

  Problems with owning an 06 Z06 Corvette - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By alenatasevich1 - February 7 - 10:33 pm

  I have had nothing but problems with this car. Starter needs replacing. I had on road assistance called twice because the car didnt start. 2 & 1/2 months of owning this car and Im informed that the "engine is cracked". I speak with mechanics & the dealership and Im informed that this happened on installation at the factory as there was overtorquing that cracked the lower engine block. I was shown the problem visually. Its as clear as day which is another testimony to GMs & Chevrolets quality control which is anything but. Nevertheless, they refuse to replace the car although its obvious that the car was delivered defective. GM is willing to replace the engine.

  Im Hooked! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By John - February 2 - 2:54 pm

  Ive finally been able to buy my first Vette! Now Im hooked, and I know that there will always be one (or more) parked in my garage. The power, handling, versatility, comfort, styling, and stereo are simply an amazing combination. Im still not used to the admiring stares from other drivers, and people saying "nice ride" in parking lots , etc. Im 6-5", and am happy to report that I fit very well in the coupe & convertible. Alas, the Z06 "real" hard top has frame struts that prevented me from fitting into my true desire. Oh well, I probably wouldve got mare tickets with that baby...
