2006 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews

Flashy and fast is the Game that the 2006 Corvette plays.  This car like those that came before follows the fast car at a reasonable price.   With a 6.0 400 hp V8 that replaces the 5.7 350 hp V8, the Corvette stays relevant in the performance car market.  Measuring 0-60 is no longer relevant, it is better to measure 0-100 instead.  Although I never got the liberty to take this car on a twisty mountain road, it still is satisfying to drive as long as your not in traffic or have the misfortune of following a cop.  The Car I drove was fitted with the 6 speed Automatic with paddle shifters.  While the Slush box is able to keep the acceleration close to that of the 6 speed manual, the paddle shifters are not as quick at shifting as a standard manual transmission.  This corvette was fitted with Borla exhaust and it is guaranteed to turn heads when you stomp on the throttle.
Like all corvettes, the bargain price creates some compromises.  Although the interior is improved from the C5, it still is not fit for a car that cost about $55,000. The seats are still terrible, and when pinned in the seat due to acceleration, you can feel the framework behind the cheep padding.  The steering also feels to synthetic and makes you feel sort of isolated from the road, but no worries Corvette lovers, because I believe they have addressed this in the 08’ model.  While the Composite body saves weight, the rear bumper feels, well… flimsy.  And when you take the car to the dealer because the targa top is rattling, pray that they don’t back the car into a Suburban.  
There is certain Corvette educate that one must follow when driving, always wave to other drivers of Corvettes.  Secondly, never drive the Corvette like you are driving a Cadillac, You are supposed to drive this car as if your 21.  The owner of the corvette I drove is 87, and he still drives it like he is 21, fortunately it has not been impounded…Yet.

Most fantastic car to ever be designed in Detroit. This car out runs, out handles, and out brakes more expensive rivals out of Stuttgart and Milan. It is the car to which all other sport cars are compared. An American legend since 1953. Try one and see what all the hype is about!

Best acceleration of any car I have driven before.
Always GM quality. Made and built in the USA!
Eye catching design with standout paint job.
Impressive MPG for a 500+ BHP sports coupe.
Very exciting car to drive! I love this car!

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.

There are plenty out there, but this is a true Italian beater..
