Excellent handling and performance

Very tight and smooth,very good take off and braking Ls2 with large cross drilled rotors no problems with navigation. So far no troubles at all. awesome dealer in middelborough ma. Guys name was Dan and I'm very happy. Head up is great xm radio sometimes goes in and out just certain stations.heated seats heat all the way up to your neck. Active handling is a good thing helps the rear from breaking loose and works well. Love this car.

Most technically advanced car on the market

this car is a rocket ship. i bought a black coupe 2005 standard/stickshift withe z51 performance package. if your in the market for a fast car that turns heads everywhere this is it. i had a beautiful cadillac prior to this and it never got the compliments this does. id highly recomend getting a stick shift because downshifting and stepping on it this thing absolutely flys. get the heads up display (speedometer and gauges projected onto windshield) this feature makes this car like driving a f16.heated seats nav and headsup display is all very worth the money. be picky there are some that were not in great shape but being patient paid off.good luck

Fantastic car

Tried very hard to stick with my Euro sports car past. Was set on a M3 with only a small potential tobuy another Benz. But as I went to test drive a 2008 M3 I noticed a C6 vette and decided to just sit in it. I noticed how comfortable the seats were and how much leg room there was. I drove it. End of story. The car kicks royal butt. I am a complete convert. The C6 is a genuine supercar and a blast to drive. 440hp in my modified car feels like I'm strapped to a rocket. Super happy with my purchase.

Dream Came True!

Cars.com helped me locate the Vette drop I have been dreaming of for the past six years. Victory red, light grey interior with a black top loaded. Fell right in my prace range. I will definitely use cars.com for future purchases.

C'mon, it's Vette

It's loud, sucks gas, tires are expensive, hard to get in and out of, scrapes the front on anything larger than a pebble, terrible rearward visibility and I LOVE IT!!!

after 6 years, its still WOW!

Own a Victory Red 2005 with a smoked glass roof panel and polished wheels- a looker still and no fade in the paint (keep it in the garage and covered parking at work) with 80k+miles Really fast, even with the automatic, and relaxed fast, tons of torque so not much need to stab the gas...and gets over 25 mpg on my 25 mile commute daily. I've owned many very fast cars, and this is the best one and alot less money than some others... and yes, it WILL easily do 150....

Not a better value out there...

400hp 30mpg highway Beautiful styling Handles like a dream Removable roof Amazing resale value. Low insurance cost for such a fast car What other car with this performance can you buy, drive for 20,000 miles, and then resell for about $3000 less than you paid??? Please find me one and then maybe I'll consider selling the Vette!

World Class Car

My C6 Corvette is the best sports car I have ever owned and I have owned over 100 vehicles in my lifetime. Its beautiful, powerful and the only money I have spent on the car is for routine maintenance and tires. Head jerking fast. Mine is fully loaded with nav, HUD, selective ride, power top, On Star, XM radio and heated seats. Its the best supercar value on the planet. I recommend you consider alternative tires to the run flats. I put Hankook non run flats and it improves the ride a great deal. I have fix a flat in my trunk just in case.

Best Sports Car Value

This is the best sports car Corvette has ever produced. Its beautiful, very fast and actually surprisingly comfortable. The nav is great. The OnStar and XM radio are also great features as is the selective ride. Mine is 6 years old and I havent had a single issue with it. I highly recommend it. I suggest getting rid of the run flats and put on some Hankooks. The ride is much better. The tire sensors let you know if there are pressure issues.
