C6 Corvette 75000 Mile Review

The C6 Corvette has reached over 75,000 miles. Let's discuss the driving experience on this 17 year old car as well as what maintenance I've had to do on it since I bought it in 2013.

I have the '08 Z51 C6 and love it too... Riding that low kinda feels like a magic carpet ride

[@CarModGuy]

Haa. Agreed

[@dominicktricozzi1221]

Beautiful car, I have an 05 and absolutely love it!

[@CarModGuy]

Thanks! And nice, I see you got the same color.

[@CuzImHalfAsian]

W wife for suggesting another vette

[@user-jo8qw6qn9h]

A nice AEI Harmonic Stabilizer is just a little over $500

[@billmcmeekin7909]

Im keeping my C6 Z till the end. I absolutely love the design, feel and operation of the vehicle. :⁠-⁠)

👏

[@user-jo8qw6qn9h]

Mods to do- LS3 heads and have up-graded springs lifters etc maybe up to 100hp gain, 102 fast manifold, 102 throttle body 15-20 hp, American racing header 20+hp gain Corsa cat back mufflers,
Front Z06 sway bars and rear Z51 sway bars, They make extended length lowering bolts or the best thing is dual adjustable coil springs on all 4 corners, huge handling upgrade

[@CarModGuy]

Very nice list. Might have to borrow a few :)

I like the C7. But I think the C3 and C6 are the best looking Corvette. ( the 63 split window & 65 are cool too) 🙃 I would like a C6 someday.

[@CarModGuy]

I do like the C7 and C8 as well. Pretty much C5 through C8 for me. But realistically, I’d like to own them all.

[@MrHacienda1]

Have you had any wobble in your harmonic balancer? I have a 2007 and just love it. Some TH-cam videos mention that some C6's had these issues. Thanks for the Review.

[@CarModGuy]

I had it in my C5 and replaced it. Will likely do it on this one as well. No wobble so far.

[@MrHacienda1]

Thanks. Great car

[@overtimeant1936]

i have a 11 c6 and my balancer is pretty wobbly, need to get that changed soon

[@StratMatt777]

@@CarModGuy What does it cost to replace the harmonic balancer?

[@CarModGuy]

@@StratMatt777 I’m not sure. Last time I checked it was right north of $1000. But I did the work myself on the C5 and will likely do the C6 work also.

Hello from Finland! I have -07 c6 manual with corsa catback and CAI. Very similar mods that you have. I also added diablosport 93 octane tune and that woke up vette pretty nice. Safe driving!👍

[@CarModGuy]

Nice! Will have to check out the tune myself.

[@ktthomas7714]

Beautiful wheels...what brand are they?

[@CarModGuy]

Thanks! They’re XIX Wheels.

I love mines too but im having a lot issues with my corvette and im barley at 80k miles ive switch my fuel pumps well both of them I put zo6 fuel pumps because my floater went bad and yeah I do recommend to change the harmonic balancer because mines went bad and I had to change the radiator as well and now im having another issue with this thing it doesn't want to turn on and sometimes it does turn on 🤦🏾‍♂ but beautiful cars though but my corvette is a pain in the ass right now 😂

[@joserubalcaba6451]

@@CarModGuy shesh that’s tuff man but I’ll probably get rid of my vette next year I love it to death but too much problems with it and I know later down the road I’m going to have more issues with it

[@CarModGuy]

@@joserubalcaba6451 that’s what I did with my STi and then bought a 21 a year later.
