  Only 1 Regret... - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Joey G - March 6 - 6:31 pm

  cant afford the ZR1... yet. ive had the car for over 3 years and approaching 50K miles and aside from the noisy roof, clutch pack replacement for the "diff," leaking water pump and dead battery - all taken care of during the warranty period - this car is solid as a rock! Its my DD - still enjoy driving it as well as looking at it in the garage.

  My honest opinion of this car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By nomorefords - January 10 - 12:47 am

  Ive owned this car for 4 months now and Im very happy with this car.The power of the LS2 brings tears to my eyes.A definite eye catcher on the roads.Has many options that other performance cars just dont have.I have the fully loaded LT3 pkg w/select ride 6spd paddleshift.With the select ride switched between tour/sport it really doesnt fell any different.The heated seats are never used because the climate controls work so good.The bose system sounds so good and Im very happy with the center control lay out. If I were to purchase another corvette I would get a 6spd manual transmission,opt out of the select ride and heated seats.

  "Z06"...whats left to say - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Nomad - November 14 - 10:35 pm

  As with most American boys...I have always dreamed of a Corvette. I have owned several BMWs, Camaros, a Mustang, and a Trans-Am/Formula Firebird (original 6.6) My RED 2006 Z06 is by far my favorite. I have had people get out of their car in a bank drive through to look at it. I had several grown men ask to get a picture of them standing next to it...and its an AMERICAN car...WOW! I get more people looking at it on a daily basis than any car I have owned...Including the BMWs. I love the fact I can drive it everyday...with the only exception being in the snow.

  My favorite car, ever! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Richard - September 6 - 8:40 am

  This is my fourth "Vette", the first being an73, bright yellow. Great things have happened since then to the auto and to the color. My Millennium Yellow Roadster is all that the other three were and much more. The most astounding was the smooth almost never ending flow of power but just as astounding is the ride. This Vette rides like my Lexus SC400 - too much, you say, I say, try it. What a joy to drive and know that with a flip of a switch you can go from Lexus to all Corvette with the ride and handling you want and need to have even more fun. All the electronic goodies that come with the C6 ony add to the joy and fun of a sports car that is pure fun and entertainment. Love my Vette A lot of people knock the interior and it could use a little help maybe but this is a Corvette, not an Audi, which looks like a circus inside, or some such. Over all, it works for me!

  Idaho Z06 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By idaspud - April 25 - 10:42 pm

  Acceleration is unbelievable, control and cornering is excellent, ride comfort is good, interior quality is mediocre at best. Gas mileage is great too, get around 32 on the highway. Most fun car to drive I have ever had and Im 66.

  2006 Z51 Corvette Coupe - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Rhuland - March 28 - 7:36 pm

  Picked this up used. Was a NCM delivery. Very clean and still like new. I love everything about this fine piece of Americana. I have been waiting a decade to get this vehicle and now could not be happier. I love the torque, HP, fit and finish, HUD and on and on. I highly encourage you to get one if you can.

  Love It after 2 Years! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By G. EARL - July 27 - 3:49 pm

  Itll be 2 years in a few days, and I love it as much as ever! It never gets boring to walk out to the garage and get in it to go. Great styling has always been a trademark of Corvette as well as totally awesome performance. Now, I get really good gas mileage as well (27+ hwy). I have 26000 miles now, just put on my first set of tires, change oil when recommended, and have had virtually no trouble with it. Didnt know til the day before purchase that I would get the auto trans. Always thought it wasnt a "real" Vette unless man. transmission. Wrong! Auto is the only way to go if youre in city traffic too much or have a bad hip (me). Got the 1LT (base). Didnt want/need the extras.

  Retired and in heaven! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By FSTOLMAN - July 19 - 7:47 pm

  Ive owned a couple of Corvettes years ago and I enjoyed them. Im retired now and couldnt avoid purchasing a two year old 2006 Z06 with 3,600 miles. Even my wonderful wife was so mezmerized with this car, she said buy it! The car is perfect and I am totally amazed with how great this Z06 is. Great looks, great power, fantastic handling and performance. I dont need to quote the stats. The car is a thrill every time I get behind the wheel. When I just look at it in my garage, I feel like I am in heaven.

  Power for the Daily Drive - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By deacon - April 26 - 12:37 am

  Car has had no problems other than the removable roof panel that GM replaced at no charge. The car gets abour 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the freeway with comfort, power, and style. It has handled the dust and heat of the Arizona summers (the A?C works very quickly even in 110 degrees). Great daily driver.
