I've a 2013 1LZ C6Z. After 60Kmi and nearly 6 years of ownership, I still couldn't be happier with it. And everyone whose driven it wants one. And it has essentially the same Tremec as the C7. Just one more cog forward. So far, no electrical or mechanical issues. As reliable as any Japanese car I've owned. No one could be more gobsmacked about that than me.

This is another nicely done video. When I was shopping for my C6 I wanted a 2008 or newer model due to the engine and transmission changes. I found a 2011 Grand Sport online with almost no mileage but it was 1LT. My Corvette guru suggested I find a car that was better-optioned and in 2015 I bought my 2008 Z51 Coupe (6 MT) 3LT, one of only 212 Base Coupes brought into Canada that year, with barely break-in mileage and saved me a great deal of money as well. That money goes to gasoline as in three summers I have put on more mileage than the previous owner did in eight. There is nothing remotely comparable to the Corvette for value for performance and aesthetic dollar. And, Brad, that Grand Sport is gorgeous! My wife is anxious that we get C7 wheels and yours look really super so I will lurk on the Corvette Forum.

Hey Brad, I have an 08 and love it. Stays in storage most of the year cause I work outside the US. One of the changes they made on the 08 was the recalibration of the steering. Lack of on-center feel and turning weight was a complaint with the 05-07 models.

I have found out the problem with headlight covers hazing up: ammonia. Windex and most glass cleaners have it. Use "Sparkle" purple cleaner. Some waxes have something similar to ammonia in them. Don't wax the covers. Once the pitting process begins, nothing can stop it except resurfacing with abrasive friction.

I thought my 11gs was the most . I trade them while the miles are under 45, I think the seats in the 3lt series are the most comfortable seats ever made. The suspension and handling is on point for me. I am 5'4 135 and I can drive it with a finger in most aspects, as a daily driver , I enjoy my ride to and from work lol. . Jet stream blue , best color, I loe the dual mode exaust, and the extra hp

..C-6's are better than the C-5's, but I like the c-5's better...I am a big guy, and the c-5s have a little more room...I have a comm. edition ragtop, and I love it....when they did away with the pop-up lights, they made the car shorter and narrower...the rear wheels a little too close to the back...looks awkward to me...my c-5 is the perfect S Florida car, I will have it till the day that I die...

Of course the newer transmission is really good, its based on the ZF6HP, supercar level shifting transmission.

temporarily, yes. Removing (polishing off) the uv resistant clear coat will allow plexiglass lens to start deteriorate. The lens will start to look like shatter glass over time. Luckily there are aftermarket replacement lenses! Here is my Install: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM10oaiZuZvbl3k.html
