Thanks for helping me not ruin my life. I was going to trade my Jeep TJ for a Vette because I thought it would be more comfortable to sleep in but you really opened my eyes to the harsh reality.
I would buy a C6 Corvette. This guy knows nothing about Corvettes talking about personal problems. He’s going through like a divorce so that takes the focus off of what the C6 offers especially if you get a grand sport or Z06 you will not be disappointed over driving a jeep. Don’t listen to this guy. His videos suck.
I’ve had a C6 for 4 years and I have to disagree with you that it sucks. I’m in my late 70’s and I don’t have a problem taking off the top by myself. I love my Corvette!
One of the perks of the Vette as a sports car is with some effort you can curl up and sleep in the trunk if you sold your soul, house or wife for it. Great looking GS.
I started off curious about possible flaws as I think it is one of the most comfortable and amazing vehicles I have ever been in.. but then realized the video is hilarious.. love your video great sense of humor!
@@jimmyvincentmusacchio6181 Go for it. I own a beautiful 2006 C6 red convertible. I want a C7 in year or two. I have two pick-ups as well. A 1997 F-350 7.3 L powerstroke 4X4 that I bought new. Red in color. I also have a 1990 F-150XLT Lariat shortbed two wheel drive. It has the 5.0 L V-8. Paint plans for this truck is Black Cherry.
@@mustang8206 ??? You need to put the pipe down also. Start doing your research. I’m looking at a 2008 Z06 right now. They are all over the board at 50 K to 55K. That’s pretty good for 15 years old.
I agree trying to sleep in one is tough, but waking up sore and stiff...and stiff...in my Z06 with 650hp at 3am, and nobody is on the road, and I only have to push that button, and the beast roars to life...worth it.
Spot on! And I'll add one more here, keeping the clutch fluid fresh. With the heat at the throw out bearing, the fluid will turn dark and if not addressed will turn to mud. Use a syringe to remove the fluid and fill with new. You can't remove it all, but do this a few times and you'll replace most of it. I love my Vette. When I hit the throttle it's Boomer away!
that sounds like a nightmare, i got a C5, theres none of that, yeah the interior is way worse, but with none of this syringe business maybe its worth a look?
Great video my man! Laughing right out of my New Balance. I guess I can agree with most of those...but would still rather have one of these than a Muscrat or Challenger!
I hate this car so much I decided to buy it and fully build it! Man I wish I could have bought a prius instead with better cup holders! Feel free to drop some comments and subscribe like you are subscribed to AARP
Mine sucks too...500 WHP is not enough to get my prescriptions fast enough. Hurts my hips and back getting into and forget about getting out... Call EMS! Need a much more comfotable Buick Park Avenue
@@SuperChippersonthat reminds me of a picture I took one time. I parked right next to a C6 with my 04. I still like the C5 with the slightly more rounded features.
Holy shit this was the funniest video! I'm 50, recently divorced and literally going to purchase a c6 as part of my midlife crisis (however, no new balance shoes but I joke about those too for men my age!). What an entertaining funny video!
Hey so I finally got my midlife crisis C6 Corvette! I'm not a TH-camr per se, just a have my simple channel for uploads and I made a video of my new ride where I plug your channel. Seriously man, this video is great! And again, no new balance shoes for me! th-cam.com/video/hwLBM6MbjkI/w-d-xo.html
Wanna know why I like the c6 so much/why it has been my dream car since I was like 6 years old? I like it, a lot, it's bassically that simple, I currently drive a 2005 chevrolet colorado z85 with the regular cab and it's got that 5 cylinder where the fifth for some reason always has problems. My truck isn't exactly heavy on features, considering I literally don't even have an aux to connect my phone to, so i've got CD's ready in it. My truck is just a big inconvenience when it comes to a lot of things BUT I love it because it's actually fun to drive, that's all I really care about tbh. Screw all the features n stuff I don't really care about those things, the interior just kinda melts away once your foot is on the pedal if you are someone who actually actively enjoys the fun that comes with driving. I don't really care what others think of what my vehicle looks like because again tbh my truck is rusty as shit and small lmao not really a looker vehicle. The c6 tho? Hell yeah, that will turn heads for sure. Do I care? No. Will my shiteating grin go all the way back to my ears when I step on it in the c6? Hell yeah.
I had a C6.....None of the things that you mentioned did I ever have a problem....it's an awesome Automobile... Near 500 mile range on hiway road trips....Extremely fun to Drive...Plenty of Cargo room...Awesome !!!!😊
Lesson learned, and my take away is, "youre a no driving dude" keep your stable diversified. All my Vettes over the years have been for pleasure! 🏁⚜️🇺🇸
Funny list. Some is true some isn’t. Truck space is actually quite a bit in reality. In 2012 HUD moved into 2LT package. When you hit the brake i heard the same weird sound mine make. I went with a GS for the SAME reason. Fun video man.
Um.. as a C6 Grand Sport owner... here's the truths (I'm guessing this is a satire/parody.. but still...) 1. Seats recline about 45 degrees back with the lever, though you might hit the wall behind you, so you'll have to move your seat forward to recline more than that. At 5'6" (same as this guy) you can sleep in the huge flat bench area if you wanted (bring a pillow) and move the seats forward with the latch on the headrest. 2. Clutch is not heavy; it's very forgiving like a Honda Civic with early-bite. Change your clutch fluid if it is. Also, buy grown-up shoes. 3. If you buy the 3LT or 4LT C6, there are 2 subwoofers on the doors. 1LT-2LT can add these.. or.. You can buy a Subwoofer that fits in the storage hole in the back driver's side for cheap. 4. C6 rear-trunk storage is impressively VAST at 22 cubic feet similar to a Suzuki Grand Vitara (compare to a full-sized, flagship Cadillac CT6 that has 16 cubic feet and a Ford Explorer has 18). 5. Don't buy the run-flats (heavy, slow, doesn't warm-up) and you'll pay half that, which is about the normal cost for tires for any car. 6. You camm'ed it, so yes, you'll get bad gas mileage. I put a Stage 3 supercharger on my Grand Sport and get 22 mpg combined City/Highway. I can hyper-mile at 40 mpg on the highway at 60. 7. It's hard to fill your gas tank? It's the same gas cap on every car.. what? Silly. Don't be drunk. 8. Move the cup closer to you in the 2nd hole (or don't drink and drive because it causes messy drifting at 1.11 lateral g's.) 9. If you don't bring a drink, the sunglasses fit in the cup holder, or glovebox, or on your head (or in a case in the center console) or buy a visor clip for a dollar. 10. You bought a base Corvette... sorry. Infotainment doesn't suck. 11. Your eyes are the backup camera. You can install one into the infotainment screen though. 12. You can remove the 1-4 shift with a fuse for a dollar, or have a heavier right foot and it will bypass it for you. 13. Water drains down the tube so there's no need. 14. Lift more. You can't lift 20 pounds? Are those bicep implants? Targa removal is quick and easy. 15. LS3 is bullet-proof so you'll never work on it. Ever. 16. My 2012 GS M6 headlamps are not yellowed. 17. No one is impressed. 18. No girl is impressed. 19. Car is inexpensive (for now)...
You have to buy the New Balance Corvette edition shoe - they’re made of a special compound so they don’t slip off of wet Corvette pedals. They’re expensive though.
I don’t try to sleep in my c6 I rent a hotel room. Heads up is a option. My grand sport has it. 😂😂😂 my c6 has its flaws but when you start it up and stomp it! 1/8 of mile running 7seconds on hard hankook tires my nitto drag slips watch out! And still gets decent gas mileage. Stage 2 motor upgrade stage3 transmission automatic 6speed. 😊
Bro I’m so glad I bought my 2014 5.0 GT it’s been super reliable sounds great with some headers and exhaust. Your cammed out c6 is dope tho if there’s anything us ford guys cheat on we take peeks at the corvettes time to time.
For some reason all the women want to jump I'm my rusty beat up mudd truck and I ain't got no fancy luxury seats or navigation and definitely no AC lol. Trust me 4 thick women will fit in that Corvette ! Improvise Adapt Overcome
Thank you for saving me from a huge hassle. I'm going to need more room for my NB shoes and jorts. Guess I'll just have to buy a C8. Maybe when the wife divorces me, I can sleep in the front trunk.
As a C6 owner since the first ones were released I spotted this video and thought "what's this fool talking about?!" Shortly after starting to watch it I realized your approach is pure satire! Got some good chuckles out of your "critique"..... thanks, and nice job!
The reason why this car sucks it draws to much attention especially if you buy one and don't have a garage to park it leave it outside and you can guess what happen next
Yeah the cup carrier's do suck, but I don't mind, driving my Z06 is always a blast. Had a 2011 GS before the Z06, did have 15in sub in the back, but had to get box custom made🤣 so that's right too.
The problem with the New Balance shoes is there's no drip. So even if they do grip...... you get outta the car people laugh at you cause your kicks are wack
Major pluses for C6 versus C7, C8: 1) What is the most reliable model year for C6? 2012 LS3 engine in newer model year C6 Corvette has Sequential Port Injection and not Direct Injection vulnerable to carbon buildup on intake valves. 2) C6 has no major issues with automatic transmission. 3) C6 has no silly AFM aka Displacement on Demand stressing already defective valve lifters prone to damage engine. 4) C6 does not pool water behind cabin window like C8 hard top convertible when top up behind cabin. 5) Cheaper and simpler DIY repairs to engine. 6) Morimoto headlights available for C6.
I love the part, your old and your wife divorced you taking your house and money, now you have to sleep in the car and not much room for your new balance shoes collection in the trunk. Best review on TH-cam very helpful information. No 2010 corvette for me.
I have owned 35 Corvettes in my life, every year was better than the one before it. I feel bad for you, because I have loved every one that I have owned. Yes I can afford $ 2200 dollars for tires , it's just part of the game.
Fantastic information for new buyers. I sold the Oakley Shades and that will be one less issue, but I don’t understand the problem with the Mississippi River channeling in the back groove. My cousin in Baton Rouge uses Mississippi River water as fuel in his tractor and because of that has more torque than a ZO6. Why do you think the football players at Ole Miss are so good?
Hilarious bro!! lol I was starting this video thinking “ohh lord I’m about to find out the dark secrets of why I shouldn’t buy this car but by the end I was laughing my ass off lol but seriously the seats don’t recline at all??….
Ironically, this made me like it even more! GM has major kahunas for releasing the car like this. If I wanted a perfect car, I would buy a Lexus or Buick. But how boring is that! No character
Some of this is correct but I have had no problems sleeping in my vette's on long trips to Texas or Florida from Michigan. You have to learn how to navigate to seat just right and you'll get more than 90° out of that seat and I'm 6'1". I'm not saying it's comfortable but it is doable, lol. Also not the best sleep when you're at a rest area but it can be done. I own a C4 & a C5 ZO6 FRC and they have their pluses and minuses. But a lot of what you did mention is correct that's why I also have a 2500 HD Silverado crew cab and a Gen 3 Toyota 4Runner with a 3" lift for my off roading fun. Both I have no complaints except my gas mileage 😟. Good video bro but glad I'm not old, not married and all my toys are paid for like my houses. Keep posting I got a kick out if this because we have all complained about some of these issues with our Corvettes I know I have, LMAO.
Loved this video haha. BUT! I have some comments, a lot of truth in the video, and hilarious. Center consul gets stupid hot, you can't put your phone or electronics in it otherwise they over-heat. In Texas summer it gets so hot if you leave something metal in there you can't pick it up. Headlights do fade and frost over. Left two pedals definitely slip when your feet are wet. Haven't had issues with the water draining around the back hatch, just drive it after washing and it will dry out on its own. Seats are comfortable but have play in them, the automatic back and forth actuation when getting out is super annoying and wish you could turn it off on higher models. FUEL LEVEL SENSORS ALL BREAK on these cars at some point, and they are tough to replace (done both sides myself). Harmonic balancer issues. Alternator issues if you rev high. 1 to 4 shift can be tuned out. Tires are expensive on all sports cars. Radio and backup camera can be replaced and it makes a huge difference. Haven't had issues shifting with the cup holders. Pretty bad brake fade with medium braking on curvy roads. Doesn't have a remote clutch bleed-stupid. Some electrical issues on the car if modified usually.
You are hillarious! That's me... (all the old man stuff RFLMAO). I have had my C6 since 2012. It is red... LT3 with HUD and the suckie screen. You are right about the sound system. My wife's 335i (2015) BMW sound system blows this Corvette sound system away! Mine is automatic. Pretty and fast. I just bought a 2017 Model S Tesla s100D. It is an ENERGY HOG! They say it is fuel efficient... BS! Pulls 30 amps at my home charger for 10 hours to charge it to 85%. My electric bill is 1000 per month now! Tesla's dirty little secret. I honestly love my Corvette better than this Tesla Model S! I'm going to sell both and buy a Stingray C7... NO C8! Mid engine seems like a nightmare.

Keep the jeep. Get the vette anyways
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I’m thinking of trading in my JL for a C6, I just don’t need to off-road it as much as I had thought
F*ck it, just cram yourself into the back and sleep there😂
No one should ever have to sleep in a Corvette
You can sleep in your car but you can't race your house.
I do in my C2 all the time. It’s a good time🏁
I was thinking the same thing
I’ve done it, it’s not fun but did the job
I’ve had to do it. My c5 is by FAR the worst car I ever had to sleep in. Conversely? My 01 Camaro was one of the best. The seat went really far back.
As an old guy, this video cracked me up😂. Well done, whippersnapper😋
Yup, sitting here laughing while wearing my jorts and New Balance shoes. I LOVE my 2010 Grand Sport...she ain't perfect but what is ?
😂 exactly it's for us old gear heads🤠 it's a Vette, buy a calldilac 😉

Those are some of my complaints-stereo, cup holder, seats-but I’m buying another one😂
I own 2 corvettes. a C5 & C6. Now looking to buy a C7, then a C8. I will need a bigger garage.
@@jimmyvincentmusacchio6181 Go for it. I own a beautiful 2006 C6 red convertible. I want a C7 in year or two. I have two pick-ups as well. A 1997 F-350 7.3 L powerstroke 4X4 that I bought new.

Hilarious video. The C6 GS is a gem and that’s one of the reasons they hold their value!
They do not hold value
@@mustang8206 they are pretty cheap
@@mustang8206 the opposite is true. Almost all recent model years have held their value, one of the best out there.
@@mustang8206 ??? You need to put the pipe down also. Start doing your research. I’m looking at a 2008 Z06 right now. They are all over the board at 50 K to 55K. That’s pretty good for 15 years old.
@@mustang8206they’ve held their value pretty well. There’s plenty of low mile grand sports that I’ve seen sell around the 40K mark…

The C6 is simply just too hard core for most average drivers with not great new features. It’s a widowmaker
Can’t wait to sleep in my new C6
Spot on! And I'll add one more here, keeping the clutch fluid fresh. With the heat at the throw out bearing, the fluid will turn dark and if not addressed will turn to mud. Use a syringe to remove the fluid and fill with new. You can't remove it all, but do this a few times and you'll replace most of it. I love my Vette. When I hit the throttle it's Boomer away!
that sounds like a nightmare, i got a C5, theres none of that, yeah the interior is way worse, but with none of this syringe business maybe its worth a look?
@@SargentandGreenLeaf changing clutch and brake fluid is regular maintenance, not a nightmare. Good grief.
0:46 Thats craaaazy lmao, im literally here cause im thinking of buying one from a divorcing couple 💀
Great video my man! Laughing right out of my New Balance. I guess I can agree with most of those...but would still rather have one of these than a Muscrat or Challenger!

Appreciate the shoutout! You are gonna enjoy the hell out of that car specially since its been well maintaned and taken care of
I'm over 50, love New balance shoes, my C6 and this video!
Other than my battery always dying, the cup holder/shifting is definitely annoying. Can’t even drink a cold pop comfortably.
Never had a dead battery aftersetting for week.
OMFG! You just busted my shit up! Had me rolling the entire clip. Hilarious way of pointing out the shortcomings of the C6. Bravo 👏
3/4 of these aren’t a problem for me
I guess if someone ends up sleeping in a corvette their priorities in life were screwed up wayyyy before a divorce is on the table.
Take it from a C6 drop top owner since 2007, my advise to you is get rid of it if your that dissatisfied! Oh one more fact I’m a young 77 years.

You shouldn’t have a vette if any of these are a problem
Exactly
honestly you shouldn't buy a C6... not for you
Most people don’t daily a C6 Grand Sport , Z06 and you always keep a second pair of New Balance shoes in the car 😂😂😂😂😂
And that’s why my Z06 is a weekend warrior 😉.. being 27 also helps

Nobody thinks that a Corvette is a lot of money, so I had to say that's not a flaw.
It's funny cuz the corvette has more trunk capacity than any compact sedan.
No lie, if your feet are wet on the stock pedals, it's down right dangerous.
You have to buy the New Balance Corvette edition shoe - they’re made of a special compound so they don’t slip off of wet Corvette pedals. They’re expensive though.
"A berry difficult task"... probably a raspberry difficult level

Hey Sonny... Old age and treachery will beat the sh*t out of youth and exuberance. Every time.
Okay....so...if you don't like the vette,then why would you buy it if all your going to do is complain about it? What a whiner.
Bro I’m so glad I bought my 2014 5.0 GT it’s been super reliable sounds great with some headers and exhaust. Your cammed out c6 is dope tho if there’s anything us ford guys cheat on we take peeks at the corvettes time to time.
I'll bet you haven't sold it yet
Its hard to believe that this video isn't satire, most of these aren't even "real" complaints or issues
For some reason all the women want to jump I'm my rusty beat up mudd truck and I ain't got no fancy luxury seats or navigation and definitely no AC lol. Trust me 4 thick women will fit in that Corvette ! Improvise
Adapt Overcome
You don't deserve to own any Corvette . They are for people who want a real car as the Corvette is. It's not designed for hypocrites.
Thank you for saving me from a huge hassle. I'm going to need more room for my NB shoes and jorts. Guess I'll just have to buy a C8. Maybe when the wife divorces me, I can sleep in the front trunk.
I love these guys flipping awesome vid brothers, I'm 6'3" and can't wait to sleep in my c6
Found a problem, you warm up your car. Gotta give it 2 minutes and casually drive
I don’t know why I love this guy😂
You forgot to mention that you can’t even tow your 5th wheel with it.
Yes guys this video is a joke 😂
Explains my love / hate for my c6 perfectly 🤣👌🏼💯
High-performance cars don't need radios or backup cameras, cup holders, or reclining seats. Sounds like you need a cadillac
I slept in a Corvette on my lunch break every day for like 5 years. You get used to it.
I love my C6 Corvette, it's a affordable sports car as fast as a same year lambo
This video saved me from buying one without being financially ready for afford two of them
As a C6 owner since the first ones were released I spotted this video and thought "what's this fool talking about?!" Shortly after starting to watch it I realized your approach is pure satire! Got some good chuckles out of your "critique"..... thanks, and nice job!
He said you're gonna need a new knee cap especially at your age😂
The reason why this car sucks it draws to much attention especially if you buy one and don't have a garage to park it leave it outside and you can guess what happen next
I think you should sell your corvette if you hate it that much.
I have a 8 inch self powered sealed sub in the back made by DUAL. Has lasted 10 years hooked up to a Sony Head unit.
Yeah the cup carrier's do suck, but I don't mind, driving my Z06 is always a blast. Had a 2011 GS before the Z06, did have 15in sub in the back, but had to get box custom made🤣 so that's right too.
Nobody ever bought a corvette for the cup holders and sunglasses holder
This guy is doing some kind of drugs. I own a C6 and don't have any issued with mine
The problem with the New Balance shoes is there's no drip. So even if they do grip...... you get outta the car people laugh at you cause your kicks are wack
Wait, this corvette gets 9/11 mpg? No way, I thought the regular c6 gets about 15/23 mpg at least. Maybe this is the Z06 or something
Major pluses for C6 versus C7, C8:
1)
What is the most reliable model year for C6? 2012
LS3 engine in newer model year C6 Corvette has Sequential Port Injection and not Direct Injection vulnerable to carbon buildup on intake valves.
2)

He’s right! My new balance is due slip on Pedals!
20k for a 100k mile LS3 C6 and you're talking about spending a huge amount of money for one??? I didn't, and I love mine !!!!
This guy has cars ass backwards. Him saying no subwoofer says everything I need to know.
And that's why you should buy a 1st, 2nd or even 3rd gen V. You compromise some performance for a whole lot of convenience.
This guy doesn’t need a corvette, he needs station wagon, corvette is not for you pal!
This guy has nice sense of humor!
I love the part, your old and your wife divorced you taking your house and money, now you have to sleep in the car and not much room for your new balance shoes collection in the trunk. Best review on TH-cam very helpful information. No 2010 corvette for me.
Key takeaway: don’t get married
What makes this car gen of corvette extra special is because it wasn't supposed to exist. 2008 financial crash/ GMC bankruptcy
I have owned 35 Corvettes in my life, every year was better than the one before it. I feel bad for you, because I have loved every one that I have owned. Yes I can afford $ 2200 dollars for tires , it's just part of the game.
If you're sleeping in your Corvette you shouldn't have one
That's a racing car and a luxury. People buy when you have money. Also an extra car.ty
Your first point is already wrong because I can easily sleep in the trunk space despite being 6' 😂
Saving for a c6 now, saw this video and was expecting BS, but this was a good mix of funny and informative, love it dude! XD
Fantastic information for new buyers. I sold the Oakley Shades and that will be one less issue, but I don’t understand the problem with the Mississippi River channeling in the back groove. My cousin in Baton Rouge uses Mississippi River water as fuel in his tractor and because of that has more torque than a ZO6. Why do you think the football players at Ole Miss are so good?
To all the haters this guy loves his C6.
He’s playing Devils Advocate.
“spending you retirement money” Bro, you can buy these for like $30k….
IDGAF!!! I’m still getting one. If you have to sleep in a corvette, you shouldn’t own one
Dude doesn't meet the minimum age requirement to speak on a vet🤦🏾♂️🤣
this just made me want the car even more, thanks!!
Hilarious bro!! lol I was starting this video thinking “ohh lord I’m about to find out the dark secrets of why I shouldn’t buy this car but by the end I was laughing my ass off lol but seriously the seats don’t recline at all??….
Bro should have bought a Infiniti Q60 so he could sit with the seat reclined like a fool gangster.
BTW, beautiful Grand Sport!
I had a C5 and everything you said is true true true. This is why I find this to be so comical.😂
Ironically, this made me like it even more! GM has major kahunas for releasing the car like this. If I wanted a perfect car, I would buy a Lexus or Buick. But how boring is that! No character
If she cant accept me in my Dodge Neon ion want her 💀
I have an '05 C6, patience reqd to fully sort. I did, been great for many years now.
You can buy an underseat subwoofer. Its a performance car!
Young kids have totally different likes and dislikes when it comes to corvette purchases.
Some of this is correct but I have had no problems sleeping in my vette's on long trips to Texas or Florida from Michigan. You have to learn how to navigate to seat just right and you'll get more than 90° out of that seat and I'm 6'1". I'm not saying it's comfortable but it is doable, lol. Also not the best sleep when you're at a rest area but it can be done. I own a C4 & a C5 ZO6 FRC and they have their pluses and minuses. But a lot of what you did mention is correct that's why I also have a 2500 HD Silverado crew cab and a Gen 3 Toyota 4Runner with a 3" lift for my off roading fun. Both I have no complaints except my gas mileage 😟.
Good video bro but glad I'm not old, not married and all my toys are paid for like my houses. Keep posting I got a kick out if this because we have all complained about some of these issues with our Corvettes I know I have, LMAO.
Loved this video haha. BUT! I have some comments, a lot of truth in the video, and hilarious. Center consul gets stupid hot, you can't put your phone or electronics in it otherwise they over-heat. In Texas summer it gets so hot if you leave something metal in there you can't pick it up. Headlights do fade and frost over. Left two pedals definitely slip when your feet are wet. Haven't had issues with the water draining around the back hatch, just drive it after washing and it will dry out on its own. Seats are comfortable but have play in them, the automatic back and forth actuation when getting out is super annoying and wish you could turn it off on higher models. FUEL LEVEL SENSORS ALL BREAK on these cars at some point, and they are tough to replace (done both sides myself). Harmonic balancer issues. Alternator issues if you rev high. 1 to 4 shift can be tuned out. Tires are expensive on all sports cars. Radio and backup camera can be replaced and it makes a huge difference. Haven't had issues shifting with the cup holders. Pretty bad brake fade with medium braking on curvy roads. Doesn't have a remote clutch bleed-stupid. Some electrical issues on the car if modified usually.
He forgot to mention that it does not come with a Burrito holder
As a Mexican I can confirm this is factual and a huge inconvenience
You are hillarious! That's me... (all the old man stuff RFLMAO). I have had my C6 since 2012. It is red... LT3 with HUD and the suckie screen. You are right about the sound system. My wife's 335i (2015) BMW sound system blows this Corvette sound system away! Mine is automatic. Pretty and fast. I just bought a 2017 Model S Tesla s100D. It is an ENERGY HOG! They say it is fuel efficient... BS! Pulls 30 amps at my home charger for 10 hours to charge it to 85%. My electric bill is 1000 per month now! Tesla's dirty little secret. I honestly love my Corvette better than this Tesla Model S! I'm going to sell both and buy a Stingray C7... NO C8! Mid engine seems like a nightmare.
Dang you really can't adjust the seats that's actually a serious negative for me :(
You can, i was just exagerating
@@PushingGears I since found out you can hahaa thanks though and great and funny video.
This car is too hard core for your generation, just buy a Prius and be happy!
