I've owned a lot of Corvettes. The C-6 was shorter but had a longer wheelbase than the C-5. Add the wider body found in the Grandsport makes it my favorite Corvette. Plus it's reliable and easy to work on and old enough that it's probably going to go up in value. Great weekender.

Nice review but this must be a 2013 model year since the 60th anniversary edition was in year 2013 Also 0-60 is about 4 seconds (you said 0-100). You’re correct Those seats were changed and improved for the 2012 model year. They’re not necessarily from the Z06, those were standard in GS. The V8 sound is coming from that Borla exhaust which is an aftermarket system. Also this has a K&N aftermarket air intake which you didn’t mention

8 owners. Ok now before you freak out, every dealer who “owned” this car is listed as an “owner” on the CARFAX report. So it might be half that amount. Check out that CarFax carefully and check out the car carefully before making judgement. Price is a bit steep for one with 60,000 miles. RUN AWAY if its an automatic!!!

Buying this car with a slushbox is like taking a bath w/o the water. Why bother? You are neutering the car and removing all the fun. I’m being dead serious when I say take a pass on this Vette if you don’t get the wonderful 6 speed manual transmission. It’s got a very nice throw straight from the factory. The ratios are nicely spaced. The clutch is surprisingly light and the car is a hoot to drive. I have this exact color C6 in convertible form with a 6 speed manual transmission…of course. I have never driven the automatic and don’t need to. Now if it came with a nice dual clutch automatic then I might be curious to try that, but it doesn’t. Just a slow shifting torque converter box that is for folks who should be in a Buick or a Lexus sedan just cruising down the road. Nothing wrong with that at all.
