Thanks for the info. I'm 73 years old, and wanted a corvette since I was 13. My dream finally came true. I found an 07 c6, atomic orange, garage kept, serviced by dealership only, wit 73000 miles, with new brakes, new michelin run flats, new harmonic balancer and shift cable. It has the ls2 engine wit six speed automatic. It has the original top plus a smoked top, which I like. It does have a small rattle, probably from mirror. It's a beautiful car, paint is flawless. Thanks for video.
@@LeftBehind666 yes, no leaks, new harmonic balancer, shift cable, 4 wheel brakes new michelin run flats, plus he had front and rear couplings on driveshaft changed, with one year warranty. I took it for a drive on Sunday and it rides great. I usually drive my age, 74, but I did get it up to around 90, I don't care much for speed, just cruising. Tkx
I had an '05 ls2 and was impressed with what it could do. I then purchased an '08 with the ls3 and the 4lt package in the Jetstream Blue Metallic. What an amazing upgrade and well worth the money. The NPP exhaust is so much better with the mild to wild switch. I've done quite a few upgrades over the years and she is a head turner! Good luck and be safe!
Just bought my first C6 Corvette, 2011 2LT. (White) I also own a 2015 Chevy SS. (White) Love em both. I drive one on Saturday's and the other on Sunday's. Also getting married to my sweetheart in a few months. Life at 60 is great.
I have a 2008 in Jetstream blue…love it and get lots of compliments…the one thing I don’t have that I would add is the steroGPS which also has a back up camera…I have the factory dual mode exhaust, I like it just fine in standard mode where it opens up around 2600 RPM but I pulled the fuse and drove it around the block and it was way to loud and obnoxious for my taste…those rims and the lowering of the body give it a better look. Good luck with your mods!
Nice review, just an FYI with these cars...installing a heads up display on a car that didn't come with that option is not an easy task, you basically have to tear apart the entire dashboard. As far as carbon ceramic brakes go, they were only an option on the ZO6 & ZR1's. The bi mode exhaust code option is called NPP
One, where is the decorative coil covers in the engine, and two, you can just pull the fuse for the exhaust valves, to make it sound louder all the time.
I have a short wife so the memory seat is a must have option for me. Auto or manual, doesn’t matter. Manual is more fun to drive but the autos are a tad faster and it must be JETSTREAM BLUE!!!
Love this car. I have a Monterey Red (burgundy) 2006 C6 Base with 16K miles. Just got it and it’s one of the easiest cars to drive that I have ever owned. Just smooth.
@@-Gatsu I paid $28K. The same car might be low 20s if it had 50K miles or more but I think a few extra thousand for less than 16K miles is worth it. It’s truly like buying a new car.
Very underrated color! Jetstream blue metallic! It has a bit of a green to it in the sun. Very beautiful color! Camera doesn't do justice! And the active exhaust is called npp. It was an option for the base models starting from I believe since 2008 on forward. I know corsa sounds great and borla, but there is nothing like an active exhaust. Can't live without it on my c7 z06!
Well presented! Ioved how he covered the car..... I'm in the .arket for a C-6 and wish ida came across this one! I'm not sure if I'll just pay cash or spend a little more and finance it or a portion of it? I'd ideally rather have the Z06 but I don't know yet. Thanks for the fantastic presentation
That would be sweet, I hope you live somewhere where it doesn’t snow because it definitely wouldn’t do well in the snow. Other than that mine has been super reliable!
I’m looking for a Carlyle Blue GS right now. I haven’t had any luck yet. Luckily I have a 2006 3LT Machine Silver I can drive until I find my dream car.
Got the Le Mans blue 07 C6 41,000 miles. LT3 package Bose premium upgrade sound system. Perfect condition. Heads up display etc. Love my car it’s what I always wanted. Now looking for a convertible in white with red interior.keeping the blue one just gotta have 2.
I have a 2009 Z06 and have to say...great color! Ditch the body side moldings (BSM). The MGW shifter is really good, and this is coming from a Pro 5.0 shifter guy. The factory touchscreen and Bose stereo are pretty awful and C6s should have come with a back-up camera from the factory. Your fuel rail covers are missing, but not a big deal. Ceramic brake pads cut dust, but not as much performance as a carbon metallic pad. C6 Z06s and ZR-1s did not have removable tops.
Looks bluetiful! Definitely radiant on a fall sunny day! I've always liked the Jet Stream Blue. A lasting color for generations, I believe. My favorite color is Atomic Orange, and was fortunate enough to find one in Z fashion :-) That is a wonderful stable of vette's bud! Cheers from Canada :-)
Very informative video, I’ve been in the market for a C6Z06. Did you find yours locally, a corvette specific dealer, forums, or something like CarGurus?
I'm assuming these cars are easier to work on. But watch what before I buy? Yes carfax is imperative. What if it's a fleet vehicle. I must own this supercar.
I own a 2008 corvette w/the Z51 pkg and 6 spd manual. This past week I had to replace the fuel sensors. my car only has 25,000 miles on the odometer. It cost me $2600 to replace them due twhere they were located. What a rip off. OTERWISE THE CAR IS GREAT, BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT becuse of that insane placement of the fuel sensors making t necessary to remove the gas tank to replace them. I am now looking to replace my Vette with a 2024 Mustnag GT convertible w/a Whipple Super Charger (800 HP). just saying
Haha yeah the front valence has a crack on the passenger side that I need to get fixed. Nothing serious but for sure needs to get replaced, good catch!

Wow that’s awesome, sounds like you have some beautiful cars! Congratulations man!
Nothing sounds as good as a LS.. Absolutely love that engine.
I’m going to look to buy my first c6 tmr so this is very helpful
I have a 07 in Lemans blue. I get a ton of compliments on the color. I just added a carbon fiber steering wheel last week! Jsb is also a nice color! 👍

Wow that sounds awesome, I love the GS!
You should drive that car a little more lol
First video at the top when I searched "C6 Corvette", nice video!

thinking about buying as a c6 as a first car, thoughts?

The 06+ 3&4 LT's come with the hud if optioned.
I am lookong for a challenger recently but due to unfortunate reasons, i went to 16 toyota gt86. Saw video and ad of c6 and i wanted one.
Nice man, the gt86 is sweet too! Can’t go wrong with either
Beautiful car I think ima go for a c6
Thank you! Yes go for it, once you drive one you’ll love it for sure
Get er done :-) I have an 09, and it's awesome!!!!! Live the dream kILLZ :-)
I love Carlisle Blue. So hard to find those cars. Only 535 made. Love the wheels on your car.
Oh yeah that Carlisle Blue is super sweet! I’ve only seen 1 in person ever. Thanks, I go back and forth if I should keep the chrome or not
I’m looking for a Carlyle Blue GS right now. I haven’t had any luck yet. Luckily I have a 2006 3LT Machine Silver I can drive until I find my dream car.
I have a yellow 07 Z06 with 10300 miles and at 64 i am content enough with this beast that i would not even consider a c8
Yellow C6 ZO6 is a badass car! I wouldn’t trade it for a C8 either, that’s awesome!
Just a quick heads up. I don't believe the z06 model has a targa top option.
It doesn’t, until the C7 Z06 ..
@@johnasbury9915 you are correct. It looks like a target from the outside but, it's none removable.
Not on the C6. It came with the C7 .
It's great to see young drivers buying Vettes.
Great Video I thinking about an upgrade to C6 I have a C5 convertible now.
I love your taste in car! My car is also an 08 jsb base model!
Jetstream blue was also available in 2010 and 2011
Yes you are correct, I learned this after the video😂
On my 2011, I can just pull a fuse and have the NPP open all the time. Only thing is, the launch control is disabled then. I don't use LC anyway.
Ls2 and ls3 have same bore size only difference is a slightly bigger stroke and heads and things like that

Can you put something together that shows how the previous owner attached the active exhaust to the shifter? Thanks!
Very beautiful, I have a 04 CTS-V 6.0 with a few mods lol, but I've been wanting to sell it and get me a C6

Your garage is awesome, I have a 2011 m6 ls3. Was my dream car in middle school, got it with 6k miles for $25k. Never getting rid of it
Hey I really like your car so I was wondering what is the exact name of your car if I was wanting to look at the same one you have or close to it.
Niceeee. Michigan plates! I'm looking at c6z06's currently
his friends just chillin on the curb lol
Beautiful car
Had to talk about the best blue
Supersonic blue metallic
Love the rims what rims are on the car? Size?
Did you get it inspected before buying? Extended warrenty? Buyers protection? I'm trying to get my first one but i'm too scared to lol.
Very informative video, I’ve been in the market for a C6Z06. Did you find yours locally, a corvette specific dealer, forums, or something like CarGurus?
How much that lift cost?
Correct me if I’m wrong but tr6060 wasn’t introduced until 09, prior to 09 is a t56, which is still very capable
I believe the TR6060 started in the 2008 model year when the “base engine” switched to the LS3.
2008 is first year for the tr6060
Great car, Previous owner had it set up. How much? 2022

What’s the height of your garage to have a lift in it.
Our ceiling is 10ft, we raised our garage door tracks up a little for some extra room
Only 3 more yrs, im going for a c6
Go for it!!!!
Bro i imported 2008 corvette from taxes same specs and everything 😅
Nice car, where did you find it? At a dealership or on bring a trailer or something like that? Thank you
Thanks, I got it from Facebook marketplace!

Man that sounds awesome, I’m sure that thing is sweet!
@@apprenticeautomotive yes
Gorgeous
Actually,ceramic brakes would be a waste on a 400hp car. Steel would suffice.
what about ls7?
Putting a 3 spd automatic in that thing is absolutly criminal and i would love to know what they were thinking.
