I disagree. Not every middle age corvette buyer is having a midlife crisis, these cars are just more affordable when you're that age.

The C6 Coupe’s exterior design pays homage to the C2’s styling. I have owned C2, C3, C4’s, C5’s over 40 years. My favorite Corvette is my current 2009 with it’s wonderful 430 HP LS3. Unbelievable value.

Yessir congratulations

i think that low to the ground part is my favorite thing about it.

Man I still love that interior to this day That’s why I want the older corvettes, they are more cheaper than the new ones and you still get a good amount of hp

That smile you had at the end says it all. This is one FUN ride, and can get up to 30 MPG on the freeway in the real-world if you need it to. It's rated at 26 highway. That's not bad at all! Can't wait for the C7 =)

8:08 how does he do that acceleration and not get an involuntary grin on his face?

I have a bit of an addiction to flooring the throttle and going fast so I absolutely have NO business driving a Vette. But I sure want to! Excellent review as always Sofyan.

Great review! This is one heck of a car!

You have come a long way since this vlog. Congratulations.

Spot on review...i have a purchased new 2008 c6 z51 manual that i daily drive to the tune of 134k miles so far...and its everything you said as well as utterly reliable...gm s 300k validation process made these cars utterly reliable ...so good Im having a hard time saying goodbye for a new c8...looking forward to your review of the c8 z51 fe4

I remember when my dad had a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible in siliver with the black top on it. As a rental he rented and we had it for my 18th birthday. And we had the 6 speed auto.

what is that blue box that always in the trunk of the cars u review

i cant believe that you didnt freak out on the first acceleration! I eould be freaking Out and pushing myself into the seat! And great video as usual. Would you buy that for yourself if it was a lot cheaper?

How much horsepower would be good for a car like this or any in this class?

Thinks for the review those are my dream cars.

Cruise is actually on the turn indicator like older Tahoes, Silverados, etc.

Old school 2theRedline review!

Those glasses did bot age well broheim

Just picked up this EXACT car! Amazing car

Stock exhaust in this video??

Great review, there is a smart access, you need to activate it from the DIC options menu and can have the car unlock and lock automatically. They use an assist spring on the clutch, most enthusiast remove it to improve the feel. I agree the interior is not the best, fortunately the price point allows people to address all of it's short coming to make it they way you want. Did you try competitive mode? Love your videos, have a great day

Cruise control is on the turning signal

I had an 01 automatic it was awesome. I traded it in for a C6 with a manual. I miss my automatic. Don't give a fuck what anyone says about a Corvette you want. Piss on the haters, buy the automatic if you want it. The ones that hate on the auto probably are rolling in a Ford Tempo. Haters will always hate, buy the car for what you want. I'm stuck with the stick and let me tell ya, it's not that great, it gets old very fast, especially in traffic. People who hate on autos never had to drive a stick in traffic.

+Bogusław K Aside from the Manuel VS Auto argument, the newer (C6 VS C5) auto transmission are much better, which is the point i think he was trying to make. Theres nothing really WRONG with the 4 spd, its just that it is old technology. That 4 spd was used in the C4 corvettes in the 80's, just outdated. With the newer 6 speed auto you get both better fuel mileage, increased acceleration, and a more usable powerband. Not to mention the electronics that tell that transmission when to shift are much better in the C6. The car will be more willing to downshift (and do it more quickly) and also know when the best time to upshift is. Its just a matter of much better technology. Today's duel clutch autos are FAR superior to the C6 6spd auto as well.

While looks are subjective. We have to disagree on your "barely" any hp claim. 430 hp is plenty quick in a car that weighs 500 lbs less than a Mustang or Camaro.

First time viewer I REALLY ENJOYED how this fella shows the car, i felt he gave an honest showing. I'm in the .arket for a 2008 C-6

My old boss had one. It was insane to drive on a hill filled road and going around curves was insane too. But sadly he got it sideways and slammed into a house on a rainy night and totaled it. It had a aftermarket navi, exhaust and hids. Insurance gave him something like 28 grand for it. Only had about 40k miles too.

Never have really been a Vette fanboy but I wouldn't mind one if i could afford one. They look very nice, and the Mustang looks very nice. But you can tell they are two totally different vehicles. 430 is pretty decent its not super special but its not too bad.

I think the one you drove had a wrecked clutch, because they're normally pretty heavy and engage low

Yeah...sweet car! It does have cruise control and it is integrated on the end of the blinker switch. That thing is a multi-function motha! Also ... that shiny luggage cover in the back ... not stock...someone must have fashioned one as the stock one is a dull fabric. otherwise nice job on the review.

C6 best looking corvette ever

Love my 08! The air dam on the bottom is actually made to bend and fold so you shouldn't have to replace it unless you really rip it hard over some bumps or dips

Sorry if I sent you two comments... I don't know if the first one went through, so I'm re-doing it... I wish this guy was reviewing either a 3LT with two tone leather & navigation, or a 4LT package. Those interiors are much better than this base 1LT equipped car. To the poster of the video... The Corvette didn't copy the Cobalt steering wheel. The C6 has had this wheel since 2006. The Cobalt switched to this steering wheel in 2007.

Clutch engagement is not right at the end of the pedal, I just drove an 08 corvette with 18k miles, it was mid pedal, but it engages well below 2k rpm

He's not wrong. I know a guy who owns a 2009 with about 20,000 miles, and the driver's seat already needs re-foaming. There are squeaks and rattles galore, and the finish on some of the interior plastics are showing wear, but, as he said, you forget about the warts as soon as you dip into the go pedal. This is a pretty accurate review.

thinking getting 05 c6 with 150k miles. not sure if it still runs strong and have plenty live on the motor. but LS motors are bullet prove. still I not sure I can take the chance getting it. cost is $15k should I get it?

Yeah, get it. People are so afraid of high mileage cars. Just learn to work on it yourself. Do some research and find inexpensive parts suppliers. Shouldn't be hard to come by with these cars. All my cars have been very high mileage and I've never had an issue. I had a 330,000 mile Ford Explorer, 190,000 mile 3000GT, 160,000 mile 3000GT, and a 188,000 mile e46 M3. Expect a few fixes, but it's honestly not bad. You can buy a fantastic car at a fraction of the cost and repairs generally won't exceed the value of a lower mileage vehicle. Just spend the money to get an inspection done and you will be good.

where you cruising at 1300 RPM ?

@MBTexas196

Yes, mine runs that rpm at cruising speed. I can get 32 mpg on long trips.

The dash materials may be soft, however, some of the other plastics such as the window switches or center console feel awfully low grade. They feel flimsy and brittle essentially, what you find in a lot of sub-compact cars. The fit and finish is also not great, as the gap are wide and uneven. Interior quality is more than just a soft touch dash.

Fantastic review.

I was looking at 2014 mustang gts to buy but they want 22 to 25k for a decent one. I had no idea how cheap c6 corvettes are. I can get a really nice one for 20k. I’m definitely trading in my 05 mustang gt for a c6. Definitely getting another manual too.

hahaha I have to agree with Jakeman, my 47 yr. old uncle about a 2010 Corvette after well sadly separation and most definitely hit a midlife one. He loves American so Porsche was out!!

You know there's a hidden key inside the keyless entree you have to press the line in the bottom and pull the bottom... And the only way you use the key is in the back right on top of the license plate

more control? Most modern sportscars have automatics because they can shift much faster than you could do yourself. The six speed auto should work fine because you can shift back with the paddles before a corner.

Don't worry about the turn radius, that's what the right pedal is for.

n777ua Really? I've seen tons of Vettes and Camaros back in Asia. And Firebirds once were pretty popular in the 80's too. Maybe it depends on where you live.

I think this is a 1LT. The interior in the 3LT is a little nicer

I am a owner of the same exact car as this but I don't have the Zo6 rims I have the original chrome rims

great review, your hair looks a little bit different now though lol

I actually like the Corvette, at least GM does a decent job with them and it's a car with a lot of history to it.

The cruise control is on the turn signal stalk

The interior comes with the trims one choose. Obviously the higher the trim, the more elegant interior.

Why is it bad to get an automatic?

The C6 Vette is really nice. They remind me alot of Bimmers in the sense that your paying for the badge and for the motor. This generation vette really is bad ass tho. I mean the base model is putting out 400hp and 400+torque and with the super low suspension and sleek body,there's not much out there that's better for the money.

Ok, I was just wondering because I know gm cars have had horrid quality in the past but with this I think i would be able to overlook the gaps/cheap switch gear.

I just saw one for 25k with 17K miles! what the Hell....

I fit and I'm an inch shorter than you, but there is less legroom on the passenger side.

Actually, the main reason why mostly older people drive a newer Corvette is because most of the younger people can't afford one. Unless you live in warm climates all year, you need to have a second car as well. Especially if you have kids, which would mean your wife has to have a car as well. By the time people are able & can afford a Corvette, the kids are already on their own & the owners are older.

no backseat in the vette, and driving it in the middle of the afternoon!??! WTF!??! *jokes.

Cruise Control is on the Turn Signal Stalk. I can see it at 11:41

One other mistake, you were referring to the Ford GT, not GT40. GT40 is the legendary race car, and way above the vette. Good review though
