The C6 Corvette has reached over 75,000 miles. Let's discuss the driving experience on this 17 year old car as well as what maintenance I've had to do on it since I bought it in 2013.

I have the '08 Z51 C6 and love it too... Riding that low kinda feels like a magic carpet ride

Last month, July, 2024, I traded my 36k mile black 08 3lt/z51 automatic, for a silver 12k mile 08 3lt/z51 6 speed manual that was delivered to The National Corvette Museum new. It has every option available for that year, and was used as a display at the museum. This car is VERY "Throaty!!!" Bachman Chevy of Louisville, Ky, the seller, was the only dealer that serviced this car in 17 years. It includes the museum placard on the driver's door jamb, as well as the wheel slides that allows for the car to be moved without start up. Scuff proof guards are on the lower doors and rocker panels. Many more "extras" from the museum as well. Not the Corvette find of the world, but it certainly is for me. Be safe Corvette fans, and the rest will work itself out.

Hey from the South Carolina Coast. Bought 2, 2007 Z51 3LT's off the showroom floor in 2007. One for me one for wifey. Wifey's was Black with black and tan interior. It was her daily for about 10 years. Had 68k miles when she sold it. Same ole same ole harmonic balancer and shift lever replacement. Other than that what a fantastic car for her. I still have my 07. Atomic Metallic Orange with only 8k miles. I am expecting the harmonic and shifter in the future but maybe not. These cars are amazing, performance, handling reliability. I take mine out every once in a while, it is showroom mint. Paid about 53k each for the cars in 2007. I was just offered 40k for mine, of course I will never sell it. Thanks for the vid

Have owned a black 2005 XKR coupe for 10 years, and just added a Crystal Red 2008 Corvette coupe. The XKR is a sophisticated and stunning brunette with an English accent, in a strapless black cocktail dress, pearl necklace, and high heels, while the Vette is a barefooted strawberry blonde, wearing cut-off jeans, a wet T-shirt, and with legs that go all the way up. I am in love with them both.

I like the C7. But I think the C3 and C6 are the best looking Corvette. ( the 63 split window & 65 are cool too) 🙃 I would like a C6 someday.

I do like the C7 and C8 as well. Pretty much C5 through C8 for me. But realistically, I’d like to own them all.

Respect your opinion but I’d have to give it to the C7 for best looking modern Vette and C2 for best looking classic Vette

Have you had any wobble in your harmonic balancer? I have a 2007 and just love it. Some KZfaq videos mention that some C6's had these issues. Thanks for the Review.
