  Straight shooter - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By IcesStraight - October 29 - 12:13 am

  This car pulls no punches and I love it! The steering wheel is too close to the drivers head and is sure to send many to the hospital when the airbag deploys.

  What an awesome machine - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By sfcc - October 23 - 2:05 pm

  Your writers are correct!! The C6 ranks right up there with some of the finest sports cars made. I have driven 2500 miles. It has been 2500 miles of quiet,tight,comfort and responsive miles I have ever driven. Its fun to drive,great to look at and 17 miles to a gallon in stop and go traffic isnt bad either. Other drivers give this car alot of respect in traffic by making room for me. Forget the power roof for $2,000.00, manual is just as quick.

  Z06, a race car for the street. - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Terry - October 21 - 3:15 am

  427 cubic inches with 505 horsepower and 475 ft. lbs. of torque in a 3100 lb package. The car is absolutely awesome in acceleration, braking, handling. I have owned 6 Corvettes in the past. This is by far the baddest production Corvette produced so far. The torque of the engine is seamless from idle to its 7,000 rpm redline.This vehicles performance is spectacular. It is almost unbelievable this car is so docile and easy in bumper to bumper traffic as it is right at home on the race track doing 150mph plus. The 6 piston calipers up front with 14" rotors and the 4 piston calipers with 13.5" rotors making stopping unbelievable. On the race track there is absolutely no fad.

  Bad machine - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By PATRICK - October 20 - 3:47 pm

  This is my fifth Vette, 61,66,78,96 & 06 and this is the best overall. Speed, performance, looks, and good ole American muscle. Compared to foreign cars this one is a steal and a head turner. Congrats to gm and more importantly the corvette division. Great job, keep ‘em coming and make the Vette live on, for ever and ever.

  LBM Coupe - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Bill - October 19 - 8:52 pm

  Second one Ive had, much better than 2002. Daily driver and vacation driving are a pleasure. Quiet until you ask for more, nice quality on the interior, body is solid, anndlin is great. Mag ride is worth the money, and Corvette Museum delivery is a nice option.

  Fun for all ages - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By ljarodsky - October 19 - 3:58 pm

  My first Corvette, having owned Mercedes and BMWs. I wondered about quality, but the quality is excellent, performance is fantastic, and its fun to drive, as well as reasonalbe fuel mileage. If you are driving a foreign performance car you should give this one a try. I rate it very highly and Ive had them all.

  Best car ever - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By new vett owner - October 17 - 9:01 am

  This car goes above and beyond its reputation. It is fun to drive and has surprisingly good gas mileage when cruising on the highway. Contrary to critics, the interior is very nice in my opinion. The 06 handles much better than the 05.

  An American Classic Grows Up! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Mike - October 14 - 8:34 am

  I 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 pm

  The 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 am

  I 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.
