Handles like a rocket on rails and cruises like a Cadillac

Cons

Absolutely nothing, if you can't justify a two seater that's not my problem

Can't Beat It — With brutally fast acceleration ans world class cornering and braking, for the money, there is not a better Sports car on the market. Rice rockets can suck ass; because nothing compares to domestic performance. Fit and Finish are tight and squeak free with a very driver oriented cockpit. Even 50yrs later you can still see the history in its lines. Hasn't cost me a penny accept fuel in over a year of ownership and I get 34 mpg on the highway.

Not a daily drive...

Just Fun... — It is an evil car. You step on the gas and you are gone! It is a real street legal race car, with all the necessary gadgets to make you feel in a luxury car: CD player, navigation system, heated seats, a lot more. Wherever you go people get excited for it, so watch out! It si pricey if you can't afford the monthly and insurance cost (average both $1k). If you appreciate a nice sport american legend, you won't care. So what you do? You buy a "beater" for less than $4k to use on a daily basis!

Covette Is It!! — The sleek looks, the quality that is evident when driving the Corvette and the thrill attached to it is wonderful. This car surpasses in most respects the suypposedly higher end and coslier by two or three times sports cars available in today's market.

Vette — Car is very fun to drive with the top on or off. It is a 6 speed manual and I just love the acceleration. It handles just great. Build quality is good no repairs so far and no squeaks or rattles. Car gets great mileage on the highway and probably doesn't do to bad in the city if driven easy.

No.does Not Work On Everyday Basis. — incredible accelerarion from the 7 litre engine in the zo6.different from the 5litre corvettes from previous years. accelerates to 1oo km/h in first gear.by third gear i will be doind 200 km/h.this is a stock zo6.Has potencial to beat and out shine ferraris & other super cars. However amazing it may be ,it only works on a track.it gets all twitchy on the road. the steerings heavy,ridicuous plastic interior,heavy clutch,terrible in rainy wheather.

2006 Vette — Excellent car... best vette to date in my opinion. Real tight, quick & nimble. Great on gas too... when not on the throttle. B&B exhaust are quite loud, but do they ever sound good car is lowered White is turning out to be easy to wash... compared to black! cheers

Pros

Where do I start??  The performance, the looks, the sound, the feel.  Everything you buy a sports car for.  I like the transparent roof and the fact that it is removable.  I didin't think I would like the bling of the chromed wheels, but they've grown on me.

Cons

Because of the low-slung proportions and seating position, the car feels longer and wider than it actually is.  It's actually only an inch or two longer than a Porsche Cayman S. (Really!)  My previous C5 got a lot better gas mileage, but it did not have the free flowing intake/exhaust that this one has nor the 6sp manumatic transmission.

Sex On Wheels — I love this car. Every time I am in the market for another sports car (which is every time I wreck the previous one), I cross shop those at the same performance level and those at the same price point....and twice now, I've ended up at the Corvette. At the same price point, the BMW M Coupe and Porsche Cayman S are very, VERY compelling...but ultimatley fall short. So do lower priced sports cars, such as the Mazda RX8 and the Nissan 350Z. At the same performance level, the Corvette is priced 1/3rd less and still matches or outperforms it's competitors from Porsche, BMW, et al. Plus, its gorgeous. What's not to love?
