It’s great fun going back to watch this in late 2023 with multiple C8 variants out now. The C6 GS, Z06 and ZR1 truly are special!

LOL, was thinking the same. Get it out of 3rd gear on the interstate. OMG! I would only run it that hard on the track.

Even though the C8!is out and it’s March 2024, I still live the C6 GS! I can’t wait to get mine!

On my 4th C6, currently have an ‘12 GS 6 spd convertible, just a great car. Get one, you won’t regret it.

I love my C6 GS....such a fun car to drive!!

Glad that's not MY car he's driving!! OMG!! He belongs in a Mustang!

Great review video! helped in my decision and picked up a 2013 GS in Night Race Blue with less than 10k on it while I save my pennies for C7 Z06

Really nice review - a twin to the car I bought...love it!

The z06 has a valve issue. I'll take the grand sport

Ive been looking for a Z06, but changed my mind. Hard to find a good one that has issues fixed AND hasn't been hot-rodded and dogged out for a decent price. Grand Sports are actually cheap

C6 is MUCH more spacious inside, 4 rear lights, a much better built car. I have 2. Love em. 😎

I have to agree still love the looks of this car over a c7. I can easily afford a c7 but rather own this

If you cruise at 75 mph below 2k rpm = 28mpg.

I’m n the market for a c6 grand sport myself, still keeping my c4😁😎

Thanks for convincing me to buy a C7. Dude and shift already !!!

I prefer C6 and just bought mine with 15K miles for dirt cheap. Loving it!

How much? Just curious. I am looking now. And prices are all over the map.

The heritage package was on the 2012 Corvette for the 100th Anniversary of Chevrolet

I have owned both C6 and C7 traded one in for another I personally think the C6 will age better than the C7 all the sharp angle and digital instrument display will look dated in the future

I love my C6 grand sport 2012

I owned a 2011 GS in same color with the heritage stripes. Looked exactly like this car and I also had a manual. Top of 2nd gear took me to about 72MPH. Absolutely crazy fun car and the engine and exhaust sound was amazing. This car will end your life quick though if you don't respect the power. It was a sad day when I sold it.

Cleanest C6 GS ive seen in a while! Still for sale?

i like this way better than the new one. The new one is too digital. The interior is supposed to be better on the new one, but after sitting in them back to back, I didn't like sitting in the new one as much. I like driving the zo6 or grand sport better than the new one. The new one looks kinda busy and contrived. This one looks classic, pure and clean. I also like it being smaller than the c7. I hate digital dash displays. I like real buttons, real gauges. On balance, all things considered, i think this is my favorite sports car, especially for the price.

if you want to see what i feel is the best looking C7 which I had the pleasure to sit in last week check this out, www.genovationcars.com they fixed every single thing I hated about the C7 design i wish GM would follow this direction.

The engine was saying, upshift upshift!

Thats a beautiful neighborhood I am glad to see the way things were before everything seems to have become vinyl sided cluster crap.

WHAT KIND OF EXHAUST DID YOU PUT ON?

Is this car still available?

Feeling the chrome wheels. Dont get the black wheel craze. They look like the hub caps were stolen or something.

You can now purchase the car from mid 20s to low 30s. Will probably be my next car if the c7 doesn’t drop in price by next year.

Took it for a nice ride down the Sprang Parkway😊

What would you say now (7-10-23) when C6 Grandsports are about $40-45k with relatively low miles (under 40k) and you can get a C7 Z51 with about that many miles for $50k or less?

This particular motor. Is a GREAT MOTOR. and if you buy the manual trans. The motor is HAND BUILT.

What price did this car sell for?

You should write in the headline, it's a 2010

big difference gs vs z06 is the steel vs aluminum frame. Also z06 has magnesium roof!!

"and I'm not going to kill the car. I'm just not driving it like that" For the love God shift out of 3rd on the highway you fool!

The center console where the radio / ac / nav are is what has deterred me from buying one “yet”. Very out dated, even in that time period

Should've been shifting sooner. He's used to the gt 350.

The C7 is better accross the board. Funny , because they say when they try to sell a C7 next to a C8, the C7 looks dated now also. All corvettes are cool though. Even C3s in the late 70s are kinda cool cruiser fashion cars.

crazy to see these under 30k now.

Not machine silver. It's Blade silver. Machine silver was prior to the Grand Sport edition.

Chrome wheels really age this othewise ageless widebody platform. They're why I ended up trading my Crystal Red Tintcoat 2011 GS... Just limited options to keep it stock looking and the painted wheels are IMPOSSIBLE to find.

@SyphonX I looked into everything and I love the widebody stance of the grandsport. I can overlook a C6 in traffic but a Z or Grandsport im like woah. The suspension, the updated infotainment and interior options of 2012's.. The low mileage. I also want a 4LT which I will buy within the next year for about 38500 out the door. Dropping 30k down. But I also had a scatpack which was a tiny bit quicker than stock LS3 BUT it had vented/heated seats and all the creature comforts. I just think I sadly spoiled myself for some goodies that the higher packages offer.

Hating way too much on the C7 Z06 for some reason.
