  • BMW To C6 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Loved my BMW 330i, until I test drove the C6. I did 15 months of research, sold the BMW, and bought a 2LT Z51 6spd coupe. Have now had it 5 weeks and love everything about it. Went with the 2LT as wanted side air bags, but none of the gadgets (HUD, nav, heated seats, etc). Extreme torque down low and wicked handling - Far superior to my BMW and the M3s I have test driven. Fit and finish is also comparable to BMW and have thus far had no problems. Cargo capacity is HUGE - We do grocery shopping for 5 when kids are home from college. Insurance is very reasonable and comparable to BMW. Best bang for the buck sports car with capability to function as a daily driver. I love this car.

  • Fun car to own and drive - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette

    Just back from Florida and had a blast driving it. Its yellow so you cant miss it and it seems like everyone saw it both on the road and off. No matter where I stopped people walked over to look and ask questions.

  • Never go back to imports - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette

    This Corvette is absolutely incredible! I have only had it about a month, but it is so smooth and extremely well put together. I drive a lot and my most recent two cars have been American made (after 5 Japenese cars.) I had such good luck with my Lincoln LS (110,000 in three years) I decided to get another new American made car. There will be no going back for me. I have had the opportunity to own and drive some of the best Japan has to offer. They make a fine automobile and spend a gob of money on the little things that make you think you have something special. When you drive this car, you KNOW you have something special. 25 miles to the gallon all around and it is not even broken in yet.

  • c-5 to c-6 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Ijust traded in my 2002 Red Corvette coup. Car had 69,000 miles it was my daily driver, as Im in, in home sales. As I found the sale starts when you pull up to the house. It was my first Corvette, it was loaded. My major complaint was the electronics, but what a looker. You knew you were in a Corvette, it was quick, I traded for a 2006 Red Corvette, no goodies on this car, a stripper, I love this car! but compaired to my C-5 it is a much more refined car, I liked the look of the c- 5 I think it was a monster, the C-6 is a kinder more gentle car. Faster but not the same feel of speed. I think it will be a more reliable car time will tell.

  • Unreal - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    What an experience! Just picking up this beauty at the dealership was an experience. Had to go to NY to get this baby, was too much over list here in Miami. Drove car straight through overnight back to Miami from NY to avoid snowstorm. This is the car I have been waiting for my whole life. Had the 1969 427 with trips - brand new when I was young. What a difference between a 69 with the SAME 7 liter displacement and this new beauty. Dont know how they got the mileage from this new LS7 engine, remember very POOR mileage on my first Vette. Got so many stares and looks and the SOUND is INCREDIBLE! Every stop during trip home, found people standing around admiring the car. SOOOOO HAPPY!

  • Astonishing - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette

    Excellent with all the features which i was looking for and i dont think any other car can compete with this one. Good Job. Keep it up!

  • Give this car serious consideration - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Ive owned Ferrari and Porsche in the past, sort of turned my nose up at a Corvette, however the C6 rendition is quite a car! The interior isnt as good as it should be, but the price vs. performance is astonishing. The paddle shifting 6 speed auto is a blast. Quiet until you romp on the throttle, then turns into a bellowing beast. Handling is excellent, ride is compliant, seats will probably fit everyone well, acceleration is impressive, but it will "putter" around town like any other car. Im impressed.

  • Flat out amazing machine - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Hey guys, simply an amazing car. Has power that I promise you will fling you into your seat when you hit the gas. My buddy who has an SL65 AMG said it handles just as well as his car. I have a broken back at age 24, but the seats are SO comfortable, gauges easy to read, heated seats are A NICE feature. Quite simply a car that can be used as an everyday car, or keep it as a garage queen. This car will turns heads, give you the performance, and comfort of a nice sports sedan. Quite simply, one of the finest autos i have ever driven. You certainly will not be dissapointed with this car!

    A pleasure to drive from the day I picked it up at the Corvette Museum/factory. No problems, excellent on the road and a killer paint job (Monterey Red)

  • WOW - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette

    This is a super car at a super cheap value. Best bang for your buck by far. Spanks anything just about on the road and draws a lot of attention. Where ever you go you will be noticed and complimented.
