Is that before or after the apology to CHINA? As a UK Citizen I don't really know of John Cena but I do know of that apology about Taiwan and I have no respect to that schill / twat/ insert your own insult. A shame on all Americans for having him in your identity.
@@bigduke2140 Everyone that heard about that over here on this side of the pond immediately turned on the guy, no matter their political belief. "Jiang Xina" is his new nickname lol
All I know is I have had several C5 corvettes, drove them every day, and had several 1000 mile trips in them both, averaged 26 mpg with a 6 speed manual, my last C5 had over 200,000 miles on it, all great cars, fun to drive, and easy to live with.
My Damn Channel // How are they in terms of reliability? I've always loved Corvettes and I'm genuinely curious as to how they're like in the long run ^^
TechPassion I’d say as reliable as it gets. The C5 has the LS1 which is notorious for being built like a tank and lasting easily up to 300k. There’s a guy on TH-cam with 600k miles with original motor.
Would you choose a C5 over a C6 if both were about the same price/miles? I'm not your typical Corvette guy but I genuinely think the Vettes are the best sports cars you can get, aside from the Miata
Same with the C6 I owned. Could easily manage 20-21MPG city (well not easily - with an exhaust note like that it's hard not to romp on it). Even when I was constantly romping on it I never saw below 16MPG. Took a 10 hour road trip and averaged 31MPG! They are absolutely lovely, livable cars that are incredibly well engineered performance machines. Great condition, sub-30K miles C6's are now starting to break into the sub-$20K price point, and C5 Z's can be had for about the same price. Absolute performance bargains.
sparrow i could get a c4 for cheaper and it also looks just as badass. Plus those things are rediculously fast too. A guy i sold a van to took me for a ride in his and that thing had power to spin tires while it was already rolling at 30 mph. Craziest car ive rode in yet
Oh shit, you did a modern American car with a V8. That means we must have a mandatory comment section pissing contest over which car is better, the Corvette or the (insert competing car).
I learned to drive in a 300hp with like 600Nm diesel, it's cheating.. I didn't even need the throttle for hill starts, when I got my own car I stalled so many fucking times.
Hallelujahmkay I went from a 1.6 Diesel Mini Cooper, so a 1.0 litre petrol (Because of crazy insurance in the UK), it was like driving a completely different transmission.
Lol, I argue the opposite. I think it's more beneficial to learn to drive stick on the hardest car possible. I learned on a car with almost no torque. It was a 2000 Honda CR-V 5-speed. 3300lbs and only 133lb-ft at a lofty 5500RPM. Sure it was hard and I stalled it about 3 dozen times, but after I mastered that car, every other manual car was super easy.
***** Well yeah, obviously you want to get experience on as many cars as possible. I'm just saying that it's good to learn on a really hard manual car, because if you can master that, any other manual car is easy.
Hey Mr Regular! Review my 1989 c4 corvette in the future. I've noticed you live near me threw your constant wawa references and your shooting locations. I'm in media, 18 but also goes to Kutztown Topton area on the weekends
DD'd one of these puppies for 2 years and loved every minute of it. Sold it to pay off student loans, but now am now looking to line up a C6 Z06 :) That '08 was truly a treat, though! Got better gas mileage than my Subaru Impreza around town, reliable as can be, very quiet freeway cruiser, and the ride really isn't rough at all (at least not as bad as a certain biased British motorshow would have you believe). The removable roof and a HUGE trunk. Just a wonderful, practical, liveable supercar.
NinjaPl33z the ford GT that was $150,000 new and now you can;t get one for under 200k? The GT500 is a joke, its not even the best mustang its just stupidly powerful. Saying the ford gt is ford's answer to the vette is like saying the LFA is toyota's answer to the 350z
The viper is far beyond the base vette, in price and performance. Maybe z06 vs viper TA would be better comparison. And no, ferd really doesn't have much to offer in this particular pissing match.
When I saw C6, I said to myself, "aahhhh shit!" It's too bad you couldn't play with that LS3 more but this was one of the best reviews yet. So much truth, it hurts!
great review man,great! C6 owner here,and everything you said is true, however,I don't trash Ford as I've owned a couple of Mustangs,and they're good bang for the buck,I just found the vette suited me better.
Oh and to rub it in, if you get high flow cats, free up the exhaust, lower the car a bit and do some other small improvements you'll see over 30mpg highway consistently. I know plenty of guys with C5, C6, and F-bodies that see over 30mpg highway once they add mods that double for fuel economy.
Charles McCabe It makes sense in a way. A big V8 engine doesn't have to work that hard to produce torque and power, whereas a small 4 cyl. in a Camry does. So to go from 65 to 70 mph is nothing for the V8 but a bit of work for the 4 cyl. Next, all of these cars have 6 speed transmissions with two overdrive gears, but 6th gear is a really low ratio, about 0.5. So on a regular highway these cars are turning just above idle in 6th gear, using little fuel. An S4's 6th gear is about 0.7, and is supercharged, and has AWD, so it's at a big disadvantage. Lastly, these are all aerodynamic cars. A C5 corvette has a drag ratio of about 0.29. So...Big V8 + gearing + aero means these GM performance cars need to do little work to propel the cars at highway speeds.
From the c5 vettes and on are considered super cars. Very exotic lines and the power to back it up. 0-60 times at the highest was in the mid 4's some Aston Martins are in the 5's and they are considered supercars, so the vette should be aswell. Newer vettes also are quite good in the twisties on the same level with Ferrari ect.
I am so glad there is a review of the C6 that has me laughing so much especially at the 27 mpg part lol. oh and props for pointing out where the steering wheel really comes from.
Well.... hmmm... I'm a Ford Guy, but I don't have 100k for A GT... so... welp, I guess I'm going Vette with a A Ford GT Sticker on the side.... Sigh...
I must be that one in a million 'casual fan'; I respect what the Corvette can do but I would never see myself owning one. A Porsche 911, Nissan GT-R, Audi R8 or even a Jaguar F-type might be on my list (if I had the $) but I will not get a Corvette.
I can respect that as a vette enthusiast. To a lot of people it does come down to price. The used c6s I'm looking at are $25k. If there's something you've driven with better performance or funner for that much, let me know because I'll test drive it. Other then price, I think its a great little group to be apart of. The stereotypes of vette owners are out there when I used to go to meet ups or vette events, but the majority of the people I met were pretty cool. However if I had 120+k it would be very difficult to not want to get an r8 because it's been a favorite of mine ever since it came out. The new c7 is up there in interior quality. Been in a new 911 and the t type. It matches the interior of the jag and is 7.8/10 compared to the Porsche. The jag is one hot looking car. It is destined to become a classic. There's a new 911 and a new vette at my gym, and IMO the vette wins in exterior looks. I'm hoping to someday drive a newish 911 because the main criticism on the vette vs 911 is the special feeling driving a 011. I'd like to see what it's all about.
I love the GTR so much. I hate how american cars are all about massive displacement and burnouts. It's cool when you're 12 but not anymore. You just gotta love that Nissan made a $100k V6 twin turbo that murders cars five times its price
You wanna learn how to do hillstarts? Do it like me in an x-trail with all of its mighty 200nm of torque at over 3k rpm and a sloppy clutch. Makes my old Volvo feel like an auto.
When you will do a hill start with a 1.4L Renault Logan, or with a 1.2L Renault Fluence, that's when you'll want to ask for your X-Trail back. You didn't even come close to experiencing garbage levels of torque yet.
"The C6 is more accessorized than a Tippmann 98..." Good lord man, you just brought my mind back to the days of power feeds, ported barrels, polished sears, and expansion chambers. So C6 is to Tippmann 98 as Miata is to Kingman Spyder?
I very briefly tried on a blobby-ass C5 and ended up having a first-year C6 for a few years, in my late 20s because I didn't want to be 'that guy' at my current age... - it was a quite nice car, especially compared to the 5 (which seemed better planted on rough wet highway, but was inferior to the 6 in every other way). Said all that to say this: I think I do just casually like Corvettes. I tried to get way into it on the forums and things, but I think I was just the wrong demographic. I worked my ass off to barely afford the Vette as my only car; it wasn't my weekend plaything or what have you. But yeah, it was nice - smooth, powerful, comfortable, light on drama and easy on gas... but with all the gadgetry like the HUD, magnetic shocks and built-in navigation, it felt more James Bond cool, when I have found I prefer James Dean cool.
I always took the "regular" in Regular Car Reviews to mean that he's just an average guy telling you what the average person would want to know about a car, not the stuff automotive journalists put in magazines.
Watch the Lotus review, he even admits that it's not a regular car. This Vette is more expensive new and purpose built for speed. This is NOT a regular car. I still loved the review!
I wanted to buy a Corvette but the wife said I could not. She said I would not be allowed to because I am way over the Vette owner's maximum penis size limit.
IDK how in the hell I actually missed this one but I'm glad I finally found it because I was wondering when you would get around to doing a C6 video.......lol
If you're ever near Dallas, Texas and feel like reviewing or just having fun with a 750 hp supercharged 2011 Corvette Grand Sport you're more than welcome. Watch it rain though, rofl. Thanks for the interesting videos.
I've liked all your reviews, but I know before I start this one that I will be butthurt by the end of this review. I'm gonna hit play and start cringing, waiting for one ill word against the Corvette. *eek*
Ok, other than the penis-car thing, great review. You should have mentioned that even if you never go over 2500rpm, you'll still probably beat everything. Also Chevy v Ford is stupid. I've had 2 vettes and a mustang GT and they're all real cars that you can use. Of course I'd take the vette over the mustang, more cargo room and 50% better gas mileage.
The best part of this is where you compared its customization to a Tippmann 98. I Laughed, then felt nostalgic for "my younger days." Then snapped out of it because, wtf, i'm not /THAT/ old.
apache1234657 I own a 2003 Audi A4 with 180,000 miles on it and aside from normal maintenance that I am diligent about doing when its required I have only had a bad fuse and that was a $5 fix. Its been a very reliable car and aside from the gas mileage its been solid.
Brett Edson an a4 is not an s4 and a car being unreliable does not mean that your individual car will be unreliable it just means statistically it is more likely to have problems than the average car.
The c6 is probably my next car if I can line up all my ducks. Interesting about your comment about the engine not really coming alive until 5k stock. My c5 ls1 was thrilling at lower rps all the way to redline. Granted I've not driven v8s from audi/bmw/mercs so maybe their engines feel much more accessible from lower rpms. Your defense toy right about 'you can't kinda just like vettes' while the interior will get crap, I've at least been inside m3s, c63s and yes they are much nicer inside. But the c6 is on par with a base 3 series or similar car, and the exterior looks well males up for the inside. The view from the drivers seat overlooking the long aggressive front males you feel like a kid at Christmas.....with over 400+hp. Thank you regular car guy for reviewing one of my favorite cars. Hopefully you'll one day test drive the c6z06 and the c7. The c6, very fast, quick,, awesome to look at, very fun, targa top, relatively cheap, relatively cheap to repair, but as you state, great fuel Econ and tons of room in the trunk. Add magnetic ride, and its a great dd for people not needing back seats.
Tippamann 98 LAWL. Didn't know how I felt about your reviews mainly cause I'm always having to turn Down the volume when watching them at work, but hot damn! I would say I'm hooked now.

I very briefly tried on a blobby-ass C5 and ended up having a first-year C6 for a few years, in my late 20s because I didn't want to be 'that guy' at my current age... - it was a quite nice car, especially compared to the 5 (which seemed better planted on rough wet highway, but was inferior to the 6 in every other way). Said all that to say this: I think I do just casually like Corvettes. I tried to get way into it on the forums and things, but I think I was just the wrong demographic. I worked my ass off to barely afford the Vette as my only car; it wasn't my weekend plaything or what have you. But yeah, it was nice - smooth, powerful, comfortable, light on drama and easy on gas... but with all the gadgetry like the HUD, magnetic shocks and built-in navigation, it felt more James Bond cool, when I have found I prefer James Dean cool.
That's not a "regular" car, lol
I always took the "regular" in Regular Car Reviews to mean that he's just an average guy telling you what the average person would want to know about a car, not the stuff automotive journalists put in magazines.
Yes it is.
It kinda is in the US, I think. Over here it's rarer than most Ferraris :p
Watch the Lotus review, he even admits that it's not a regular car. This Vette is more expensive new and purpose built for speed. This is NOT a regular car. I still loved the review!
***** the vette is much more "regular" than the lotus. Vettes are a dime a dozen.
Needs to be a review for us C4 guys, i would definitely donate mine
I wanted to buy a Corvette but the wife said I could not. She said I would not be allowed to because I am way over the Vette owner's maximum penis size limit.
So what you're saying is that you're whipped and your wife doesn't like cars that are fast and handle well.
Nope, I got a car that is fast and handles well. Not denying the whipped part though :-)
Justin Key let me guess a mustang owner lol the penis thing has always been a jealousy statement
Justin Key She lied to you.
Justin Key spoken like someone on welfare....congrats
IDK how in the hell I actually missed this one but I'm glad I finally found it because I was wondering when you would get around to doing a C6 video.......lol
HNNNNNNNNG IT ISNT REGULAR
I have 16 of these in my neighborhood...
There are 408 c6's on cars.com for under 30k and a bunch under 20k, it's pretty regular.
somanymods really? Well shit, my first car could be a 'vette. ...Nah, its probably just going to be a 200+hp 4-seater hatch.
joebob3719 yeah you can get a C5 vette well under 20k too and they will get 30mpg hwy
Corvette is a cheap ass sports car for regular people. So yes, it is regular.
The Just for Men section killed me just cuz my dad had a C5 and a C6 and was using Just for Men XD
You don't have to gas at all to get started with an Ls3, just let out the clutch slowly it gets moving at the top on its own.
Yeah but it's faster to just give it some gas.
If you're ever near Dallas, Texas and feel like reviewing or just having fun with a 750 hp supercharged 2011 Corvette Grand Sport you're more than welcome. Watch it rain though, rofl. Thanks for the interesting videos.
Thank god it's not an automatic.
The video that started my obsession with this channel. GOD DAMN I'M GLAD I FOUND THIS VID!
Learn English with Regular Car Reviews :).
My C6 Corvette has brought me more happiness than any car I have ever owned.
I've liked all your reviews, but I know before I start this one that I will be butthurt by the end of this review. I'm gonna hit play and start cringing, waiting for one ill word against the Corvette. *eek*
Ok, other than the penis-car thing, great review. You should have mentioned that even if you never go over 2500rpm, you'll still probably beat everything. Also Chevy v Ford is stupid. I've had 2 vettes and a mustang GT and they're all real cars that you can use. Of course I'd take the vette over the mustang, more cargo room and 50% better gas mileage.
I like the little rewording of Radioactive at the end.
the interior is rubbish
the car isn't for princesses it's for people into performance for a good price
@@fxuz7906 it sucks
The best part of this is where you compared its customization to a Tippmann 98. I Laughed, then felt nostalgic for "my younger days." Then snapped out of it because, wtf, i'm not /THAT/ old.
Did I hear a Hellsing reference sneaked in there at 3:29?
Also, at least the Audi S4 is more practical and reliable.
Have you ever own a german car?
Marcel West-Bailey I owned a Jetta at one point. It spent more time getting fixed than I spent driving it.
Lol Audi s4 is more reliable hahahahhaa
apache1234657 I own a 2003 Audi A4 with 180,000 miles on it and aside from normal maintenance that I am diligent about doing when its required I have only had a bad fuse and that was a $5 fix. Its been a very reliable car and aside from the gas mileage its been solid.
Brett Edson an a4 is not an s4 and a car being unreliable does not mean that your individual car will be unreliable it just means statistically it is more likely to have problems than the average car.
The funniest thing I've heard in all the reviews so far, Alucard in the upside down castle!!!
I bought a c6 a few weeks ago but I gotta admit. ...ima ford guy
That Radioactive cover at the end is really good; you have a fantastic voice!
I'd like to see more regular cars.
it has a cobalt steering, seems pretty regular to me.
The c6 is probably my next car if I can line up all my ducks. Interesting about your comment about the engine not really coming alive until 5k stock. My c5 ls1 was thrilling at lower rps all the way to redline. Granted I've not driven v8s from audi/bmw/mercs so maybe their engines feel much more accessible from lower rpms. Your defense toy right about 'you can't kinda just like vettes' while the interior will get crap, I've at least been inside m3s, c63s and yes they are much nicer inside. But the c6 is on par with a base 3 series or similar car, and the exterior looks well males up for the inside. The view from the drivers seat overlooking the long aggressive front males you feel like a kid at Christmas.....with over 400+hp. Thank you regular car guy for reviewing one of my favorite cars. Hopefully you'll one day test drive the c6z06 and the c7. The c6, very fast, quick,, awesome to look at, very fun, targa top, relatively cheap, relatively cheap to repair, but as you state, great fuel Econ and tons of room in the trunk. Add magnetic ride, and its a great dd for people not needing back seats.
5 years later and I'm still here
the upside down castle was so cool the first time i got there...
Thumbs up for the Paintball reference, and the NY car! Great episode guys!
I like how this 6.2 LS3 gets better mileage then the 2.4 V-tec in my Accord :/
The intro and outro songs make me laugh every time!
0:40 Sometime around 2006-07 my neighbor bought a new C6 Z06 and HE WAS A SUBWAY FRANCHISE OWNER 😱
Cant believe you played that Tippmann 98 card. So cool. I bet 90% people didnt get the joke. Paintball for the win!
Tippmann 98 lol this guy's references are awesome. He has an awesome background and knowledge of pop culture.
Two beer credits for the "Symphony of the Night" reference!
Wow nice paintball reference, i totally had a modded out tippmann back in the day
Alucard in the upside down castle............beautiful. No other word for that word play.
When he said that it's the "Mumford & Sons of cars" it hit WAY too close to home for me, because I legitimately love M&S. Even the new album.
Holy Crap! You made an appropriate SoTN reference and it WORKED!
I bow down!
Loved the Tippmann 98 reference. Great analogy
"More accessorized than Allucard in the upside down castle" brilliant
I was not expecting a SOTN reference. Well done.
Amazing, as always. If you're ever in tennessee, I got an 86 Jaguar XJ6 for you to drive. I would love to hear what your snarky rage.
the intro and the outro music is just perfect
The Corvettes at Carlisle reference is so true it hurts.
"As accessories as a tippman 98" new favorite Mr regular line
I just got a yellow 06'
I love it, I cant wait to buy parts from the hook handed man in PA.
You are now obligated to do a video for the Foxbody Mustang.
With each video you get closer and closer to where I live. This one was almost too close.. :o
Tippamann 98 LAWL. Didn't know how I felt about your reviews mainly cause I'm always having to turn Down the volume when watching them at work, but hot damn! I would say I'm hooked now.
