    I have a 2013 Grand Sport and it’s easily the best car I’ve had. I daily drive it here in New England and have put over 10k miles on since I bought it last December, including 2 autocross days. Its fun, comfortable, practical, turns heads everywhere it goes and hasn’t missed a beat. Long live round tail lights.

    Get an aftermarket shifter, When you do, you will wonder why you waited so long. I had an MGW in my C6 with a taller race knob. Loved it!

    Just sold a 2016 C7 nite race blue 7 spd convert with 10k miles for several thousand more than I paid.
    .. I found a 2008 C6 coupe, auto, Z51, atomic orange w/blk interior with only 4068 miles. Car drives and
    rides good..also has the npp exhaust and both tops, Best thing, car is Bowling Green fresh, no mods of any kind.

    You're right about the C6 being a great car...you're also right about the interior. Really the only thing I dislike about mine is the constant stream of creaking sounds that I get on rougher roads. I've done a number of fixes however the build quality of those parts is just not up to the rest of the car. I've owned a C3, a C5, and now the C6. The C6 is easily the best bang for the buck. Keep the videos coming.

    I just purchased my "Plastic Fantastic" three weeks ago... I got a '08 3LT black convertible for $32,000 out the door... It only had 33,500ish miles on it... I love it and I was also amazed at the MPG's too... I'm getting about an avg 24ish MPGs combined highway/city...

      @@CamMarz Hi I had a quick question about the C6... When I'm at a stop light and at idle, does the engine seem to kinda shake your car if that makes sense??? I got the car checked out by the dealership and all checked out ok... I think its because I am coming from a '03 V6 mustang and well it could be I'm just not use to a big V8 in a small/light car

      @CamMarz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@matthewfeatherston8982 I don't believe that was the case when my car was stock, I have a big cam in the car now so it does shake a lot at idle. In your case if the car is not cammed, the first thing I would check is your motor mounts. Hope that helps

    Hell yeah can’t wait for the cam and can’t wait to get mine im gonna do headlights,taillights, side markers, radio, e85 flex fuel kit headers tune and keep the npp for a while till I get a corsa catback then cam& stall will be after that and should be done after that but I think you should hit up Texas Speed and Performance for your cam and supporting mods

    • @CamMarz

      I see a lot of Vette owners go that route, I also notice they seem to be very high lift as well though, so kinda want to avoid unnecessary lift if possible... But still researching!
