- These are 5 things you did not know about the Chevrolet Corvette C6. If you are looking into buying a new Chevrolet Corvette then you need to watch this video. These are 5 things I did not know about the Chevrolet C6. Thanks for Watching!
So the gentlemen in Texas cared more about his driver's door window then his life? WoW
Good job. Good info for people looking to buy a c6.....that don't have a manual yet.
Thanks fella. I did learn a couple new pieces of info. Nice! I have a 09 Atomic Orange Z06, and love it. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦, hope you have a great driving 2022, Vette style :-)
Love my atomic c6. The color grows on my more and more every year.
@@Amac1825 truly a legend color, I believe :-)
Loved this infornative video, thank you so much. I am looking to buy a C6 ragtop, so this i portant to know.
I just bought a 1 owner,C6 Z06 with 6k miles. Unbelievable find. Great video and very helpful to new owners of the C6 series. 👍🏼
I recently test drove a C6GS and the 1st thing I noticed was the manual door release and asked the salesman what was the purpose, I just don’t know how people are not aware on futures that their vehicle offers.
Good info btw!
the leaf spring design was also on the gm w bodies from 88-96 cutlass, lumina monte carlo the lumina z34 had leaf springs made of a fiberglass wrapped around metal
Great vid !
Excellent video. Just subscribed.
I'm glad you are enjoying your Corvette. It is a spectacular car, and an unbeatable value. I have to ask, though, did you read the owner's manual that comes with the car? Every Corvette comes with a manual covering these secret operational functions, plus a whole lot more useful information. You should read the manual. 1) Manual door opening handles: you're the only person I've ever heard of that doesn't know the Corvette C6 has manual openers. What did you think those big levers next to your door & chair are? This is in the car's owner's manual 2) "Secret" way to enter without power via key for trunk: Yeah, not really a big secret. If you know there's a button there to open the trunk, 5 seconds later you'll probably figure out there's a keyhole too. Also in the owner's manual. You should try reading it. 3) Flooding/Deflooding procedure? It's in the manual section 3, page 25. 4) Key fob programming: yeah, also in the manual, section 3, page 7. 5) Transverse leaf springs: what did you know about the car before you bought a Corvette? I bought a Corvette and found out about the leaf-spring suspension within a few days of purchase. It wasn't unfamiliar to me as my 1971 Triumph Spitfire had a transverse leaf spring for the rear suspension. Leaf springs in the corvette weren't put in to save costs. They were put in a) they help reduce body roll, and b) to keep ride height low. You only have to crawl under the car once to appreciate this. The car is designed to low & compact, and almost every design decision is working towards that goal. The leave spring only needs a few vertical inches to do its job, verses coil-over springs which need a foot or more. Another bonus to the leaf springs is that an owner can change their springs and work on the Corvette's suspension, whereas coil-overs require special tools to compress and hold the springs.
Sounds like you are around alot of smart corvette owners who all know everything about their cars, which is great! I have to ask you, what's the point of you being critical on the fella pointing these things out to you, who clearly knows about it, and your buddies as well? What you don't realize is, alot of people watch videos like this one, learning everything they can about corvettes, trying to decide if they should buy one or not. None of these people have the manual yet to learn these things, and a video like this one can be quite helpful in learning and deciding. Other helpful videos detail known issues, for particular year corvettes you are interested in. Recently my wife and I bought a 2013 grand sport, and it was awesome to watch every video I could, learning about the car. Regarding the manual, I don't think you can always rely on it being current, or reliable, although mine was dead on, with a recent oil change I did, manual said 10.5 quarts, and it took 10.5 quarts!
@@FredFlintstone21 All good points. I think the car is overly complex. So much so, that reading the owner's manual is actually recommended. If the world were the way I wanted, nobody would need to read the owner's manual because everything would operate so intuitively. The Corvette just isn't that. I find the manual is mostly pretty darn good, for a car manual. Not as good as it would be if I wrote it, but better than one written by a imprisoned leper with a lobotomy. Most of the errors in the manyal are trivial as easily recognizable, as irritating as those errors are. I'm also a firm believer in taking a moment to see if one can observe an answer to a question before asking. People are all too quick to merely ask others. I GET IT. I do it too sometimes, but I really try not to. By the time I ask a question I've already spent too much time researching something unsuccessfully. Regarding a 2013 Grand Sport: I can understand that. It's a special car. Regarding deciding to buy a Corvette: Of course someone considering buying a Corvette should buy it. Duh. As far as being "smart," or hanging out with "smart owners." When I bought my Corvette I knew zero (0). It was an uncomfortable feeling. I'm used to knowing a fair amount about a great many things, and so I went about making that happen with a Corvette. The best teacher in the world is the car itself. You can read all the manuals, and watch all the videos, and talk to all the owners, and NONE of them is even a little bit of a replacement for owning the car and living it's personality quirks oneself. Most Corvette owners are not the get-your-hands-dirty types. I am. I encourage others to get some courage and become one too. You can read the 7 steps to installing an aftermarket exhaust in the instructions, but until you've go the car in the air and 12mm, 13mm, & 15mm, sockets, ratchets, and wrenches in hand, and you're marveling at how little room there is between parts (something NOBODY mentions, not manual, not instructions, not videos, not random helpful owner verbiage) you don't know ANYTHING about putting that exhaust in, despite watching, reading, and listening. I have personally risked being crushed to death 3X and have put in aftermarket exhausts 3X. Less times than some, more times than most. Thanks for the advice. I might have just been showing off a little bit because I have learned more than most in less time than most. I'm dedicated because Corvettes are THE BEST. Don't think, BUY.
@@FredFlintstone21agreed I wanted to slap OP in the face for his stupid comment
😅 Save my life? Thank you!!
Spark plug in change dish will break that window.!.!
Thank you for the information 😊
It amazes me that people will spend big money on a car, but never read the manual.
Cause we ain’t nerds
i have 2019 vette and never touched manuel lol its too much work to go through that thick ass book
@@gggasi9631 in truth you don’t need to read most of it as you already know the information. It’s the new technology that you got to pay attention to. The reason is to understand all that the car can do. Why spend big money and not know?
@@Sixfigas cuz I know every single features already!
@@gggasi9631 and you think you’re the norm?
Awesome video!
1. When you pull the cord in the hatchback to open the door (dead battery scenereo) would the door open if the window is all way up? Since they drop down when opening the door.
2. I've read reviews on keys bought off Amazon, and people have been commenting it works great but doesn't open the hatchback. Have you had this issue? If no, where you get your fob?
hey guy,i bought one when the chip-shortage was a frenzy and dealerships could NOT get or have 2ndary/3rd fob...BUT to be safe/sure i had my dealership program my fob that i got off of amazon and it looks the same,and works on my trunk/hatch,the only diff is you can not personalize your dash with that fob(driver 2 or 3 etc) now IF you order through the dealership today if they can get them,you will pay double or even more depends where you order from also what dealership CAN get them(typically they dont keep them in stock)your best bet or anyone who reads this,call around to some dealers,some will also order from other Chevy dealers where some are fickle about that,but to the point yes i ordered an additional one from amazon, and works just fine(but i did pay the dealer to program mine,test it,etc)all for that service, was around $120 plus the FOB off amazon make sure its AN *OEM FOB* too.
Hey brother that information was real valuable that was real player information
Thank you
Time to detail your car dude. But,, Good video,, Good info.
Good looking car 🚗
good video
Very Good video❤
It’s not a secret it’s in the manual also another secret in the manual you did not mention is the one that if your fob battery is dead there is a accessory in the glove compartment that you put the fob in and the module in the car will pair to the fob and you can start the car
I will keep that in mind next time my fob dies. Thanks for sharing!
Another advantage of Leaf-springs is the unsprung weight .
Compare conventional steel coil Springs to the composite Leaf-Spring.
One downside of the stock Corvette Springs, they’re non adjustable for Corner-Weight distribution adjustment.
A non issue for 99% of the average driver.
The c6 grand sport have the removal roof mine come with it ...
Nice Job . And yes I have one. Later
My favorite american car ever made my mom owns it
Electronical, that’s evidentual
Big question I know it's keyless entry with push button, but is it passive entry? Meaning can I lock and unlock the car door without actually pressing the buttons on the fob?
yes the car will lock and unlock itself when you come within range
@@zezexzord thank you.
You just walk away and no one can get in car. Big reason I bought my grandsport.
@@russmt4181 is it a specific option or is it on all c6s
@@yanplays2172 all c6 as far as I know.
is electronical a word?
Electronical?

How is the 'flood' procedure done on an automatic?
The same...... he clearly said just hold the gas pedal down, it doesn't matter if it's manual or automatic, I've done it many times on my A6 Corvette.
@@mariagus805 Super. Thanks for the info.
When you were driving it looks like the dials are flashing is that the camera
Yes. It’s just the camera.
Nothing I didn’t already know.
The guy just straight up accepted death and gave up 🤷🏼♂️
I wonder how that flood procedure works in an automatic
what do you mean, it works the same.... he clearly clearly says hold the gas pedal down, not much harder than that, I've done it many times in my A6 Corvette.
@@mariagus805He said push in the clutch then push the gas all the way down; that's what confused automatic owners.
Well, I certainly HOPE you're wrong about the key fob programming. Otherwise ANYONE would be able to just go grab a corvette keyfob on ebay and pick themselves a new car off the street.
Ese Lou, but your avatar is c7 and your AutoZone t-shirt is c5.....
Lol!!
Don't matter my friend, its his car so he can do whatever he wants...👍🏿
