I recently bought a C6 LS3 3LT package with 48k miles on it for 25k and i can say it's the best bang for your buck. It handles very nicely and its pretty fast even by today's standards and ofcourse LS3 is one of the best sounding V8s

[@running2redline]

That sounds like a great deal, congrats and enjoy it!

[@Panama00807]

Manual or auto ?

[@TheSlowEcoboost]

c6 ls3 2011 38.5k miles for 20k + my mustang ecoboost 48k miles getting it off carvana friday cant wait

[@NudaMan]

Thank you for talking about the LS2, I feel like nowadays everyone just wants to go fast lol been there done that on motorcycles 😂, now at 27 I want a nice sports car to replace my 2 motorcycles

[@johnquintmatt1986]

That headlight upgrade 👌

[@kokrb]

I'm happy for you, you got your first ad.

[@running2redline]

Much appreciated, thanks for your support of the channel!

[@DKINTHELAB]

I bought a c6 ls3 manual for under 13k a few months ago! I will say it’s rare to get as lucky as I did

[@blokay_garage]

Decent condition?

[@running2redline]

That’s an awesome deal, congrats and I hope you’re enjoying the car!

[@CPAJayhawk]

Must have been wrecked or salvaged title

[@MrNoChanges]

I wouldn't trust ls3 for 13k manual

[@teddydavid2816]

Why was it priced so low whats the story, how many miles, rebuilt title etc?

[@Beliefacy]

Such a thorough and fantastic review thank you

[@running2redline]

Much appreciated, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@VIPBeasty]

Ive owned 2008 C8 LS3 for 3yrs. And the best car ive owned. Bought it at 20k miles and im the 2nd owner. Its supercharged and its literally my daily driver. I LOVE it!!!! ❤️

[@running2redline]

Supercharged must be a blast, enjoy it!

[@Fxzi904]

Great vid !!

[@running2redline]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@poppad1187]

The C6 is definitely on the short list of cars that I’ve got my eye on. The way I see it , life is too short not enjoy a still beautiful designed car while I work my ass off. It‘s been a long time since I owned a V8 powered car let alone something that sounds beautiful with solid performance. Definitely have to go through the options by the C6 is one of of not the best bang for your buck. Looking forward to watching the rest and hopefully snagging this low mileage beauty up.

[@running2redline]

Go for it, I owned the car in this video for about a year and a half and bought it for 20k flat. At that number there’s not a better looking or performing car on the road imo. The LS3 cars are certainly a little better but a bit more expensive so it’s all a give and take. Good luck with the search, these things are a blast!

[@UnknownvV]

Got mine last year in July it’s been awesome!

[@running2redline]

Enjoy it, I just sold mine a week ago and it’s been quite painful to see it go

[@snake5838]

Fair and balanced review. While the 2008-13 LS3 is a better engine ( 430hp and 424 ib/ft }, the LS2 still puts up decent numbers, and is a cheaper option. Lose a few hp, but save some $$$. And 400 hp is still pretty respectable.
One year anniversary of my 2008 C6 1LT 6 speed manual, and at only 16,000 miles, she is basically mint.

[@colesc6]

Shhhh. stop driving up the prices... lol

[@HeavyDrop_]

NGL, a C6 Grand Sport is kind of intriguing!

[@running2redline]

I have a review of that too, great car and super fun to drive!

[@user-ex1lp6jt8g]

C6 are a great car......................

[@johnliberty6779]

Why do most people rank the LS2 C6 lower than every other LS engine ?

[@running2redline]

It had the worst harmonic balancer issues even though most of them have that, and people seem to think the LS1 is more reliable if built up while the LS3 and up make more power. The only thing I can attest to is the harmonic balancer. It cost me over $1k when I first bought the car.

[@johnliberty6779]

@@running2redline Makes sense do u Daily drive it ?

[@running2redline]

Yes I've been daily driving it for just over a year and gone on 3 1000+ mile road trips with it, not a single issue other than mild oil consumption since the balancer replacement.@@johnliberty6779

[@boahgarza6521]

What about the gas LS2 is not a gas jogger or is it ?

[@running2redline]

If you meant gas hogger, not at all. This is actually my personal car and I’ve been averaging above 20 mpg with some spirited driving. On the highway it even gets close to 30 mpg

[@Teramydog]

nah - get the ls3 and thank me later
