Great video! I bought a C6 and have dumped so much money in repairs that I just upgraded everything from the harmonic balancer to the cams to the clutch and fly wheel. It has come to the point I don’t enjoy the car because it always has something wrong with it and only has 81k miles which is nothing in a LS engine. My childhood dream has become a nightmare 😢
Oh no I'm sorry to hear. Being in the business, I always recommend having a vehicle throughly inspected by a local shop. Especially the older they get or higher in miles. Knock on wood, I haven't really had a lemon corvette yet.
I have a C3 (1972) and a C5 (2003). Each are fun in their own way. My C5 is my weekly driver. Best feature in both are "no car payments" and I can do the work on both of them. No way I would own a C8. Beautiful car, but purchase price, cost of ownership, and virtually impossible to work on yourself simply are deal killers for me.
It’s actually only on the C6 Z06, and supposedly the C6 ZR1. It’s caused by GM’s Lightweight 2 Piece Valves, which tend to break right in the middle. I’ve seen it happen to Z06, but never really on a ZR1. However, always recommend doing it as preventative maintenance ☺️
Great video Hazar! Only gripe I have is the average price is off on some of the vehicles. But the market is always changing and will be cool to look back on.
Terrific job with this informative video my friend, and I do agree with you that the C7 ZR1 is 'the one'. I sold one over a year ago and literally could not believe how much I loved that car. GM really allowed their engineers to flex on that one, and it showed. I'm just not into the C8s at this point as I'd rather have a foreign mid-engined car when talking about that car, but the value of the base C8 Z06 is off the chart as you mentioned. Best wishes!
C6 ZR1 is the best imo, the analog feel of the NON ediff and the rawness of the corvette was peak. C7 is great, but its like an M4 to me. VERY refined, very nice, ediff and computers and nannies etc etc. That being said, C8 is just in a different category as you said. Not comparable imo. C5 BROZZZZ!!!
C5 HANDS DOWN THE BEST TIMELESS BODY LINES IN THE GAME 💯

The Corvette for me is the Corvette with 0 payments
Which is a great option too. Especially with how rates can be right now. Plenty of GREAT options out there.
My fav is the C7...wide body like the GS or Z06 👌
Really enjoyed this
I’m more of a base C4 kinda guy
Also a great car, maybe we can use yours for the next video!
Would love that!
Now I want a corvette
I could see you in one 👀
C8 coupe 🔥🦅
The c6 head and valve problem are only to base and z06 the Zr1 doesnt have that problem?

it’s only on the C6 Z06 of all model years from 06-13. All LS7 engines. It’s a cheap fix though, about ~$2000.
the annoying music in the beginning made me turn this off
Love that for you
I want a Corvette now!!!
DUUUDE YES

Thanks, yes we filmed over the summer when prices were a little higher.

Thanks for the kind words Steve. The C7 ZR1 really is one that you have to drive to understand why people love them!
I really enjoyed the video!!
Awesome video and tons of info. I appreciate your enthusiasm for these vettes and it shows throughout this video.
Thank you very much for the kind words!

I think the C6 is probably the most fun to drive. However, I know which one I'm taking on the lap around America ;-)
@@HazerG8 The caddy? right? hahaha
