Expert 2007 Chevrolet Corvette review

our expert's take


When the most notable improvement for the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette over the 2006 model is a larger glove box, either Chevy has run out of ideas or there isn’t much to fix.

There isn’t much to fix. This Corvette, known as the C6 — Corvette, 6th generation — came to market as undeniably the most refined, least-troublesome new model in Corvette history. The new 6.0-liter V-8 with 400 horsepower feels even stronger than that, and the new six-speed automatic transmission is a perfect match to the engine.

The Corvette’s cockpit does not require gymnastics to access the way older models did. Once you’re inside, the leather-clad bucket seats are superb. It surprises first-time passengers just how comfortable a Corvette is on the highway; it’s arguably one of the best cross-country vehicles of any size or configuration.

I prefer the Corvette coupe with the removable roof panel over the convertible only because of the difference in price — the regular Corvette starts at $44,170, and the convertible at $52,510 — but this is, I have to admit, an awfully good convertible. Twist a latch above the rear-view mirror and press a button, and the top stores itself beneath a panel just behind the driver and passenger. It cuts the 11 cubic feet of trunk space pretty much in half when the top is down, but there’s still room for some soft luggage back there. With the top up, the trunk is big enough for two rollaway bags.

At speed with the top down, there’s surprisingly little wind buffeting. Top up, it’s quieter inside than you’d suspect, with most of the noise you hear coming from the huge, rigid run-flat tires, P245/40ZR-18 up front, P285/35ZR-19 in the rear.

The six-speed automatic transmission is a $1,250 option over the six-speed manual, and as much as I like manual transmissions in sports cars, I’ve always preferred an automatic in Corvettes. There are little paddles on the steering wheel that allow you to shift manually, but the transmission seems to know what it’s doing.

Besides the automatic, the test Corvette was loaded with options, many of which I could do without, including a $5,540 package that added memory steering-wheel and seat settings, a head-up display (the speed is projected on the inside of the windshield so the driver doesn’t have to look down at the speedometer), and a few other relatively inconsequential features. At $1,750, the navigation system is a pretty good buy. At any rate, options and shipping raised the $52,510 base price to $63,320, which — given the car’s capability — is still a bargain. But if I were paying for it, I’d be just as happy with the base convertible, even happier with a base coupe.

Such is the general goodness of the 2007 Corvette — any model, any color, any time.

  • I bought my 2007 Convertible Z51 3LT in October of 2024.

    I bought my 2007 Convertible Z51 3LT in October of 2024. It had 118,000 and now has just over 125,000 miles. This car was someone’s toy as it has a cold air Vararam intake and long tube headers, and has been very well cared for as well. It still looks and drives like new, not bad for an 18 year old car. My only knock on the car is the interior is a lot of plastic and kind of blah. The Center stack is right out of the GM parts bin, nothing special. Raising and lowering the top is as simple as releasing the center handle and pushing a button for up or down. Only the 3 LT does that little trick, the rest are manual. Performance wise, stock it was 5 HP shy of a C5 Z06, mine is making 505 at the wheels very similar to a C6 Z06. When you stomp that loud pedal you better be focused and right with Jesus. I kinda got in trouble when I bought it, my wife as not as excited as I was until we had our first date in the car, she forgave me and I bought her a convertible Mustang a month later.

  • I got my 2007 C-6, in Atomic Orange, in 2020.

    I got my 2007 C-6, in Atomic Orange, in 2020. I found out about it from my sister’s youngest son’s girlfriend, who also was my oldest grandson’s pre-school teacher. Her mom was the executor of her cousin’s estate and had moved the car from her cousin’s home to her farm. Yes, it was actually sitting in a barn with a dead battery and covered in dust and pigeon droppings. The interior looked brand new. This was because after putting a new battery in, I saw that this 13 year old beast had only 6300 miles on it! The owner, who had passed away in 2018, had traded her 1992 C-4 in on the ‘07, drove it a few times and parked it because having double the HP scared her to drive it. Long story short, I saw it, drove it, fell in love with it and got it for a song! Took it home and immediately gave it a bath, using a foam cannon and microfiber mitt of course. Four years later, I’ve put another 7K miles on it and I have no plans of parting with it anytime soon! The only drawback is the interior, which is pretty much the cheapest looking interior styling that resembles an old Chevette. Chevy gave the C-7 a complete overhaul of the interior design in 2014. However, the outside looks great, the handling is superb and the 6.0 LS-2 has gobs of HP and torque. Awesome find after being retired for a couple years and living the dream!

  • Excellent Corvette

    I've owned 1969,1982,1991, and currently 2004 Corvette. Hands down the 2004 is the BEST corvette I have ever owned. I have 33,000 miles on it and it still runs great and everything works as it should.

  • Corvettes Rock.

    I bought this 2007 Lemans blue convertible from a fellow in Roslindale, MA 2 years ago. I waited all my life to own one and after literally years of research for the perfect one, I found it. It was worth the wait. This car is such heaven to drive and pure fun, fun, fun. It has 43000 miles and looks like it just came out of a showroom new. It turns heads wherever I go. I love it.

  • Great, once you read the owners manual.

    I bought this car, a black C6 Corvette coupe with the removable hard top, primarily for its exterior styling and looks. It caused me some problems in the beginning, I got it in 2010 with 17,000 miles on the odometer and now, 10 years later it sits at 29,000. When you purchase a Vette its alot like getting married. Its for better or worse. It has a mind of its own pretty much. It locked me in it 2 times and I had to call AAA to help me get out. I had a key made to get in the back hatch and learned there was a cable in the cargo compartment you can pull and it will open the drivers door. But its very scary. Sometimes it won't let me in, even with a new fob battery. I still don't know why. It locked itself in park one time and I had to get a mechanic out to tear the console apart and fix it. Then the push button start pushed all the way into the dash and I had to have it repaired. Remember this. If you aren't prepared to put quite a bit of money out to fix these unexpected problems, don't buy one. Several times I came very close to selling it but like a wife, you're willing to go the extra mile to make the relationship work. And when I drive it with the top out on a gorgeous summer day,bit makes it all worthwhile. I also get noticed ALOT. Hope this helps you decide. All in all. I'd recommend it but only if you have alot of money and patience.

  • Most iconic and reliable car I’ve ever had.

    This car is a awesome car to drive. It has lots of leg room and very smooth ride for a Corvette. The Black on Black looks great . I would definitely consider buying another.

  • Exceptional value for this type of performance!!!

    I've owned this car for about a year now and I have NO regrets! Although it is 13 years old, it is still king of the road! The exterior design is FLAWLESS and I get TONS of compliments. Gas mileage is IMPECCABLE especially for a 6 litre, V8! The targa top is an added bonus. Interior is simple. Lacks high quality woods, metals and fibers but these things aren't necessary. If you're considering this vehicle, STOP! GRAB 1 before they're all gone!!!

    This car is a beast it has a v8 engine and only weight less than 3200lbs. The only downside is the interior design.. Overall this car is a fun car to drive and will never regret to own one.
