Thanks guys for the encouraging comments and thanks you sir for publishing this video. I'm 73 years young and wanted a vette since I was 13. My dream finally became reality. I found an 07 c6, right under my nose. It had 73000 miles, atomic orange, with an ls2 automatic, with 2 tops, new michelin, new brakes, new harmonic balancer and shift cable, serviced only by dealership, garage kept. It has a rattle that comes an go. The paint, which is factory, looks brand new. I'm enjoying it to the fullest. Thanks again.
Congrats on your dream car becoming reality! Thanks for watching my video. 🙂
How much you pay for that baby?😍
@@JoseRodriguez-eh3uo I purchased it from a private owner for 25 g's
Nice! Congratulations and enjoy I’m saving for mine now hoping to get her as my big 30th birthday present to myself. Fingers crossed and god permitting.
@@ValyriaSnow with God, all things are possible. I'm praying that your dream will soon be a reality. Happy new year.
Just bought a 2007 at a local dealer. It has 31000 miles. Very nice condition. Had it checked out by my mechanic and he gave it a good go. Love my wife and I going on Sunday driving trips.
What a sweet ride! I bet you guys have a lot of fun with that.
I’ll post a Short and then a regular video soon I made with my friends supercharged 08 C6. Just when I thought the C6 couldn’t get any better the supercharger definitely upped the experience, lol. 🙂
Wifey and I are Corvette nuts. We have a 95 convertible, 96 coupe Z51 handling package and our pride and joy a 1964 Sting Ray. L76 motor 327 / 365hp 4 speed Muncie close ratio 4 speed. All cars mint, all matching numbers, all original, all documented, all below 35k miles. So I just bought a 2007 Z51 3LT Atomic Orange from original owner with only 8k miles on it.. It's just about a brand new car. C6 is a great car .Bought an 07 new in 07, black Z51 3LT so I know how great these cars are. Sold it about 4 years ago and regretted it big time, so I had to get this one.
Thanks (I think) to the many raving reviews of this model, the prices have truly sky rocketed. Good luck finding one for less than 30k.
Lol 😂 I have a better review of a cammed LS3 C6 I’ll make public within the next few weeks!
The LS3 engine which are in the 2008 - 2013 is more powerful with 430 to 434 HP, and more reliable as well. The Z51with short ratio 6 speed manual transmission does 0 = 60 in 3.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds, with a top speed of 191 MPH, a real bargain imo.
Absolutely, LS3 Vettes are an incredible sports car platform. On my channel I have a video of my turbo Subaru Outback vs. my friends supercharged 08 ls3 and I show it’s 0-60. Even on sticky 325 width tires it bests like a 4.0 true 0-60 at our altitude. I have another video of it I’ll share soon. 🙂
I have a 2012 C6 Grand Sport/Automatic and I love it! The LS3 is a powerhouse!! 430 horses is plenty! Appearance-wise, the C6 (GS and Z06) is my favorite Corvette of all-time!
Thanks for an outstanding video of a great automobile!!
That’s awesome, I’ve always loved the c6 GS! Targa top and wide fenders. 😎
Thanks for watching!
I had a C5 for yrs,I'm looking for a C6 GS convertible.
Best of luck in your search! That’s going to be a sweet upgrade. 😍
That's excellent image quality on that backup camera. It has really smooth framerate and looks so lifelike.
😂 😛
Awesome review. I've seen a lot of Corvette videos to say the least and you covered a lot of things that i'd never seen before. Thank you, bro.
My pleasure, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I have a couple other corvette videos as well. Including my buddies supercharged C6 and one more of his I’ll publish soon. 🙂
Sounds good brother, I'll check them out.@@AutomotiveAnonymous208
Great review.
I live in Europe and own a c6 ls3 manual since 2023, it has z51 pack and 4lt options. It s a fantastic sports car , very livable, and it offers thrills and fun when wanted.
Put a pair a good roaring mufflers and you are in heaven.
That’s awesome, I’m glad you’re enjoying one of the best driving sports cars all the way from Europe! 😎
My favorite body style of corvettes. Especially the view from the back.
❤️ the c6!
thanks bro. i’m getting one in the same color. really really appreciate this review. just lost my bmw this will be my first us vehicle
Of course! That’s exciting, c6’s are one of the coolest sports cars! 😎
This is what I love about cars . To be back in 2007 again . This world 🌍 has changed so dramatically! Life was so much better! Today’s corvette will cost you 100k . Crazy …… love the simplicity of the vehicle. Not all the touch screens and do dads !
100% agree, lol. 🙂
Great review
Thank you! 😄
I’m currently on my second C6. Had a Manual Coupe and now have an auto convertible. Best I’ve gotten w dragy is 4.2 0-60. It’s an absolute blast to drive. I also own a C7 and a C8 but I drive the C6 the most, it’s just raw and I like that
That’s awesome! A convertible C6 sounds like a blast, thanks for sharing your ownership experience. 🙂
Good review. Thanks for not spending 30 minutes describing each knob. I know how to make tires squeal, so thanks for not including unnecessary info. on that aspect of these fine cars.
Quick note: the "heads up" display isn't. It's a head up display. There is only one head.
Well made video , Thank you
Thanks!! I actually just posted a better video of the c6 and it’s even a cammed LS3 example! 😎🤩
Just bought an 08 black of course. I love it
Nice, good call on the LS3!
I say the c5 is the true bargain. Last year I bought a 9k mile c5 for the price of a avg c6. It is down on power compared to the c6 but honestly, it's more than enough to get me in serious trouble. When I look at a c6 I see all the DNA from the c5.
You’re right, and that sounds like a great car! Funny enough I drove a c5 Zo6 today, I’ll publish the video publicly within the next couple weeks. It was a sweet experience! 😎
I would say you can’t go wrong with either 5 or 6
I agree it’s just reskinned
We have had 4 C6, 3 convertibles and 1 Z06, currently have a ‘12 Grand Sport 6 spd convertible… sweet cars
That sounds like a lot of fun! I love the GS. 🙂
😎...it is definitely a performance bargain...I have a convertible...still fast/comfortable...I am happy to own one, and maintenance is easy/simple...get one while you can..you wont regret your ownership experience!😁
Thanks for sharing your personal ownership experiences! Is yours an LS2 or 3? Before I ordered my Miata I had a FBO LS1 Trans Am, naturally I thought I would upgrade to a C6 next, but for now I’ll drive one whenever I can. In fact I’ll likely make a video of my friends gorgeous Supercharged LS3 pretty soon. 😉
I also had a fbo 4th gen but a Camaro got an 07 corvette then it started misfiring and the torque tube broke after a week at 79k miles 😢
My dad has had one since 2010, z51 3lt manual transparent roof, all the options. Great little weekend sports car. Gotta get one in manual though if you know how.
That sounds amazing, I bet you guys have had a lot of fun with that! I’m not sure if you’ve seen it but I have a video comparing the performance of my turbo outback wilderness to my friends 08 supercharged corvette with the same roof. I also have a 4m long video that’s purely his beautiful orange vette, I’ll share that one soon. 🙂
Yep, those manual Tremecs are extremely reliable and way more fun!
My 06 Z51 with 6 speed manual ran low 12 quarter mile times with just minor bolt on mods and it handles so well
That’s awesome!! These are such sweet cars. But our density altitude kills performance in this area 😢 I took the launch easy because it’s 16 years old but I’ve done decently better 0-60’s in my FBO LS1 trans am in better weather, so this likely would have ran a very low 14 if I kept going. 😬 Thanks for watching!
The C6 was capable of 12.x bone stock at sea level, 0 density altitude, on a drag strip with new tires, and with a good driver when they came out new. Almost no one can actually replicate that or should expect that time, outside of those conditions. I unfortunately did mean this would only do a low 14 where I’m at, especially based off of its upper 5.x 0-60. My FBO Ls1 car ran about 3/10s faster 0-60 than this and it couldn’t get under 13.8-13.9 on GPS. Density altitude kills performance. That’s one of the reasons EVs like Teslas literally destroy most “fast” gas cars on the street or reality, they’re not impacted by density altitude the way gas engines are. Trust me, I would have loved for this to run a better time! I hope this didn’t come across as I’m contesting your opinion, I’m just sharing my experienced reality. 😊
@BB-sc9gj I'm hitting 0-60s in under 4 seconds on mine already and I haven't done much, great cars for their age.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 You just need forced induction at those altitudes and not EV. Tesla's hardly "destroy" most fast cars, they'll keep up for the 1/8th then run out of juice at higher speeds
FI and an LS = ❤️ I know what you’re saying, and believe me I don’t like saying what I am, lol. In my area there are a surprising amount of law enforcement officers and no 1/4 drag strips within about 100 miles, so I more stick to 0-60 testing. On GPS Long Range and Performance Model 3’s/Y’s do as well or better than the AWD Hellcat cars within those speeds. And most high performance 500HP+ RWD cars I get to borrow also don’t do their nameplates justice. But for all the finicky reasons that make those cars not perform to there max potential in optimal circumstances. 😢
You can also open the rear hatch with the key, just above the rear plate there is a key lock, check it out
Great insight, thanks for adding this!
👍🏻👍🏻
Me: What is a Z01?
Him: When the ZR1 and Z06 love each other very much and.....😁
Hahaha. 😂
I really want the 6 speed automatic but it's just not socially acceptable so I have to find a manual some how. They're actually pretty rare on the marketplace
Honestly, with either transmission it’s a win win. You’re driving a C6 Corvette! My friend who owns the Supercharged Orange C6 in a couple videos/shorts I’ve done has an automatic as well.
They have “ stuck in park “ shift lever problem on earlier models. 4 hours and 10 cents in parts to correct , but a great car otherwise , my favorite version regardless of year . Best looking of any of them . The subsequent models look way over done , to many intakes , louvers and exterior do - dads , like JC Whitney designed it
Thanks for mentioning about the shifter problem, I hadn’t heard that one! I’ve always really liked the C6s, but seeing one next to a wide fender C3 at a car show made me realize how flat these are on their sides lol.
Harmonic Balancer will need to be replaced. I went with the ATI Super Damper. This car is very reliable🎉
Great insight! These cars are seriously so well done, I’m glad you’re enjoying yours! 🙂
Same
I really like that twisty torque.. and all the buddons... haha
Lol 😛
In my opinion the c6 has aged well and will age better than c7 and c8
The C6 is incredible! 😎
Disagree, it’s starting to show its age compared to modern automotive styling. Looks simple and bland next to later corvettes. Don’t even get me started on the cheap Chevy Cobalt interior. Still a beautiful car tho
@EJleon96 Of course, coming from a C7 owner. Im sure some C8 guys feel the same way about your car 😂 J/k aside, Interior may not be the bees knees, but I think the timeless "corvette look" with round tailights will push this bodystyle into collector territory in the future, especially the Z06.
@@positronicreflex. maybe… but I find it annoying all C6 owners are always putting the C7 down. I wonder if there’s some bias cause there’s a few out there that didn’t get a C7 simply cause they couldn’t afford one. I’m sure once they are more affordable lots of them will jump on the C7 train. Not to mention parts are more readily available since they are newer.
only 2005 had the shitty 4 speed auto every other year had the 6l80 6 speed, its very very good.
How did you do the 0-60 timing? I would like to see how mine compares.
It’s a GPS box called a Dragy, I bought mine over 2 years ago and I think it was about $150. Once you have that, just download it’s free app and you can access everything it offers and set your various measurement parameters. They’ve been shown to be accurate within a few hundredths of a second and MPH. 😎
The phone charger is in the center console...and you dont need "fix-a-flat"...those are "run flat" tires.
Oh yeah the stock run flats, great point I forgot to mention! Thanks for watching. 🙂
If those are still the original runflats, they would be16 years old and need replacing regardless of mileage. Most Vette owners ditch the run flats anyways, they are not great.
The original Goodyear run-flats are junk.
I must be getting old… I’m starting to like Corvettes!
Lol, for the longest time the average age of a Corvette owner was almost 60! 😬😅
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 I’m not that close to 60, but still this is an appealing package if priced right. Plenty of power and fun but surely a relaxed cruiser too!
You're getting wise that's what it is..
The automatic was a 6-speed from 2006 to 2013. It's just 2005 with the old 4-speed auto.
Yes, thank you!!
Your horn is sick. Mine sounds manly compared to yours. Your backup camera was clever. Oh, and the candy candy bar holder. 😂
Lol, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I have a C7 and C5 Zo6 video also done and I’ll make them public in the next few weeks. Corvettes are so sick!! 😎
I'm going to ask a stupid question why do the dash lights blink while you're driving the car if you don't mind me asking
That’s a good question! It’s just due to the camera and frames per minute and what it captures through the lenses. In real life the naked eye doesn’t detect any blinking. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Because I have arthritis in my knees. My 69 GTO was an auto. Did not lose to sticks..
Just wondering why your car has Z06 emblems on an obviously “not”, Z06 ?
Still a nice car
Hey, great question, lol. It’s not my Corvette, just one that I borrowed. But, it’s actually a z51 badge that literally copies the zo6 badge. 🤢 I wish I knew why the previous owner put that one, it should come off lol. 😂
Didn't know z06 could have a targa. Lol. Fake badge. But im sure the vin says that on the window sticker.
Edit: it's a z51 badge😂. Good christ. No one should ever do that.
Lol, my thoughts exactly! The Z51 package is good, but not good enough to publicly display on the fender in a near identical fashion to the Z06. 🤷♂️😅
I was thinking exactly the same thing. 😮
Wow! Something is definitely wrong with that C6. I had a 2007 base non Z51 that ran 8.26@ 90 mph bone stock. That’s under 4 seconds 0-60! It’s probably more than 20% down on power.
That’s a good time! I have no doubt with a couple extra practice launches and warming up the tires it could also shave a few 10ths a second. But I’m cautious to not create a problem while driving someone else’s car, lol. Additionally its original rated time of low 4’s was probably not counting the few 10ths a second from rollout? I’ve never searched for when that became standard practice. Otherwise the density altitude seriously kills performance. My FBO LS1 Trans am true time 0-60 and 1/4 could never even reach what they claimed stock on a track 20 years earlier. 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching!! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 yeah, my times are from a nearby 1/8 mile track. I had stock tires on mine but I never had to heat them up, not that it helps with stock street tires. I never had traction issues on the street either. That’s why I was shaking my head in agreement when you brought up “usable power”. Spinning ain’t winning! Great video and sense of humor! Thanks!
He did not put it in competition mode (You have to tap the traction control switch twice and it will show on the display) and we dont know if the oil temp hit 190 to release the limiter.. If ya know, ya know.
That’s good to know, thanks for sharing!
he was wayyyyyyyy low on fuel,the dash even said so
Ummmm thats not a Z06 man... none of them came with a Targa top. That option appeared with the C7 on the Z06 package.
You’re right, it just has a rather silly Z51 badge on the sides, lol. 😂
I have a 20 2ss, do i really need this as well 😂😂
Yes, you really do. 😎😉
That z51 badge makes it look like a wannabe z06
You’re absolutely right lol. 😂
flashing lights?
Likely just due to what the camera catches that our naked eye can’t see. 🙂
I have the 6 speed stick.. Id take an auto..
You win either way, it’s a Corvette! But why would you personally want to switch to automatic?
Same - 6 speed isn't everything . and it takes practice to shift well.
Auto means you can eat a burger and drive .
Why is the dash flashing
That’s only noticeable through the camera/video, the naked eye wouldn’t detect that. 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 oh
Nice video bruh ..
I'm thinking about buying a Vette like that one
Sounds like the Honey Badger dude, lol.
Haha 😂
Yeah my c6 ls3 can do 0-60 in 3.8. Why you should get a ls3 instead
😂 it’s funny how many of y’all don’t understand d/a
I want one but don’t have enough $ :(
They’re sweet cars so I’m not surprised they’ve overall kept their value. 😅 I hope one day you own a nice one!
Jesus get some fuel! 😂
Haha, you’re right!
You should take the Z06 sticker off the car
It was actually a Z51 sticker, and yes, whoever put that sticker on shouldn’t have, lol. 😂
Who gets an auto C6. Man
Right, lol.
I know right, Chevy made a big mistake when they made Automatic cars, not one has sold since they made them, not one car!!! They have lost millions of dollars!! I wish you could take over and set these guys straight
Disappointed at 4:35 and onward. Where's the third pedal? This review doesn't even count.
Lol, I don’t think you’ll like my C8 review or the cammed C6 video I’ll post in a couple weeks either then… 😬
Putting an automatic in a Corvette should be a crime.
Haha yeah.
No offense, but they haven't aged that well in the looks department. Still a fun sports car.
I think I’m biased towards the C6 because it was the Corvette when I was in High-school. 🤷♂️😅
bru its literally the best looking corvette im tryn find one near me
C6 is the best looking generation corvette. Especially the wide bodies, GS, z06 and Zr1.
I think you’re probably a hater or a mustang fanboy
@@nickconstantinolandscapese2890if a slim body is done right they’re gorgeous . I can’t think of a better looking modern car for under 60k.
Dude! Put some gas in your car!
Haha I know! That poor fuel pump…😬😅
And wait.. you’ve been calling it a six speed manual! That’s very obviously an automatic friend.
Debuted? Come on man, at least have someone proof read your stuff. You’re very informative, but when you speak English poorly, you’re going to lose the educated. Also, the c5 had the truck 4speed auto. The c6 had a 6speed auto, still slush box. They got into dual clutch autos in the c7 and c8. You are right about the manual though, no corvette pre 2014 should be an automatic. The c5 was incredible with the slush box, but swapping a c6 motor and trans (if you have to have the automatic) TRANSFORMS the car.
