C6s are great value, even the autos. The interior is cheap but you're paying for the engine and chassis. Corvettes are a sports car that can be daily driven.
Not mentioned about the car... The community. It is so cool to be part of a car club, like Jeeps or Mustangs or H-D bikes, and these cars come with that sort of community.
Agreed. But TH-cam changed their ways and now when you preview a video, it shows the first 10 seconds or so. So every video of mine looked identical and I didn't want to turn people away.
thats like saying supras arent special. those were mass produced too. its an entry tier sports car and thats alright. you still get a lot of value for your money and any base corvette would smoke a challenger and mustang.
It amazes me how GM was able to make a 4 speed automatic transmission work in a car with 400hp...just like how Mercedes-Benz made a 5 speed automatic transmission work with a 600+hp V12.
Corvette shifters have been stiff and unfriendly, huh? What are you talking about? The manual transmission in my Grand Sport shifts like a dream I would never even consider an automatic transmission Corvette with the exception of the C8. That’s a dual clutch automatic and a completely different animal.
The average person will never be in a car this fast. You’re getting spoiled off your calling this a cruiser. You basically liked for things to complain about. Poor effort on this one.
The corvette should go back to it's roots. make it an affordable roadster - front wheel drive, 4 cylinder, manual transmission. Focus on fun and affordable, like the Miata.
Well, here you can clearly see the reason of Acura NSX being so popular in the 90's and 00's. Just imagine: this car was produced in 2005 and still couldn't be as fun and as practical as 90's Honda.
@runoflife87 I know. So what. Make the two cars as comparable as possible, and then pretend the NSX is amazing. I'm not arguing that the Corvette is better, but it's hard to ignore that you're putting the best version of the NSX against the lowest version of the Corvette.

It's literally a truck engine..
@@AmericanBusinessman422what trucks came with a ls2?
use engines across multiple platforms. It’s how it’s tuned that matters.
C6 is my favorite generation of the old style. Overall I prefer the C8.
C7
C6 and C7 are the best ones for me. Otherwise I'd rather have a 2010 Camaro (I think the new ones are ugly).
C3 and C5 if only talking about looks
Sir. Quit hating. lol. Great car. Fantastic.

No one had cup holders in sports cars in the early 2000’s…they gave corvettes shade for even having it.
Dude it’s 199 degrees and you aren’t using the A/C?? SAVAGE!!
10:34 A Corvette may be "the peanut butter and jelly of cars". That's fine by me. Just don't overpay for it.
Hybrid C8 AWD has already been released!
Yeah the E-Ray
Good friend has an 05. He bought it new when he was selling Chevys back in the day. I think he may have 5000 miles on it now.
Your older intro with the Mazda was so much cooler.

@@ShootingCars Damn TH-cam
@@ShootingCars Maybe add a short intro about the car you are doin a video about before your intro :) 10 sec montage

This used to be my dream car until I got into jdm
The E ray is out now for the C8, it’s a hybrid.
this aint no pb&j Zach its a 1 lb cheese burger with everything
I feel the *exact* same way as you about that car!
Mainstream attention often leads to the death of uniqueness- I will be quoting you with this quote from from now on
Which corvette is best corvette
Your description of the trunk could also be used to describe the personality of the average corvette owner.
horrible take. there are more mustangs and chargers then this car

the C6 2005 has a 1-year-old only steering wheel

Same shifter as the camaros too lol
Video shows you driving with E brake pulled.

Seeing the trail blazer wheel would make me just pass
can you review a bmw e60 the 3.0 na
Was that Mike Mykes Vette? Lol
4 speed auto? turns and runs away
Don't need but 4 on the floor.
do you think that makes it slow ?
the more power especially torque you have the less gears you need .
more gears just add complexity
I'd definitely go for a later model of the C6, with the 6-speed auto.
I drove a 2008 and 2005 both automatic back to back and I took the 05 home, felt quicker and more punchy transmission wise.
There is a lot of part sharing
oh no
That's a good thing. It's easy and cheap to fix.

First!!
ppl seam to like MIATAS. they are a dime a dozen . I like this American car much more. And many cars from Europe are a BMW "Big Money Waste"

Put an automatic in that NSX and make the same case for that car.
This car is a base model and still has 130hp more than an NSX 😂
@@anthonykiedis1765 more HP isn't equal to better handling or even 0-60 numbers.
@@doug6191 automatic NSX is mostly American thing, lol. Europe and Japan got manual cars.

C6 vettes are my least favorite generation. The front end is just ugly
Anyone else hate the rear of this car?
Naw just you
Bro, it's a 6sp automatic, not a 4sp automatic.. always loved C6 Corvette except for the cheap interior.
The first year of the C6 Corvette (2005) has a 4 speed auto. The years after that (2006-2013) had the six speed auto.
Not the 2005 model, it was a 4 speed.
Autos suck
