It all really depends on what you need. If you don't need room for four, then get the Corvette. I've never driven a current gen Camaro but I've heard that they're difficult to see out of. I have driven and reviewed (check it out) a C6 Corvette and they have good visibility, good performance, and decent trunk space, but they lack in quality. Like I said before, it all depends on what you need. Hope this helps.
Man that thing sounds amazing when those flaps open up the inner pipes!!! It's got that very unique Corvette sound to it which I love. Looking forward to the Z06 video!!
It's amazing how much you're reviews have improved over the years *****. I like how you do a historical perspective of a vehicle in your newer videos. :)
unmistakably a corvette i can tell blind by the sound of it starting up and revving, the C6 still puts sports cars exotics which are more than 3 times the prices to shame after having been around since 2004/5, it is by far the "greatest bang for the buck" machine no doubt about that. and i say that as a german! i cannot wait to see the next gen C7 revealed, so far chevrolet has been hush hush about it which makes it all the more exciting for me.
Fun fact, only 3112 base model coupes were made in 2011. 813 of those were black. 1561 had these optional chrome QX3 rpo wheels as shown here. 1041 had dual mode exhaust shown as well. More people were buying the Grand Sport models for this year, so production was low for the base. I bought this same exact car a few years ago, year, color and options, but mine has the 3lt trim and its a manual. I'll prob never sell it!
chevrolet has been very innovative with their most recent interiors, and i hope they will also bring their new interior designs to the corvette very soon...
I personally like it and would take one over a GT500 or Challenger SRT-8. I know that many people would disagree with me but I just have always liked the new C6 Corvette. I think it looks great.
@mak450 If I'm not mistaken that recall was for a faulty cruise control switch. F150's without cruise control were not part of that recall. This was not a recall for the entire F150 lineup.
haha....No worries. I'm in Canada where "entry level" is $64,000 starting point and the ZR1 goes for $132,000. In any case, the door panels and clips are pretty standard across the line. All quality issues aside it's a still a great car.
@Qwbecz Mitsubishi lancer evolution. It has a snow race mode and a automatic gearbox, and all wheel drive. Rwd cars are bad in the snow unless you have some weight on the rear wheels, but I'm sure sports cars won't handle right with 300lbs in the trunk. Solancer evolution or a Nissan maxima, it's a front wheel drive car with 291 horsepower. Ut starts at $29k and can get up to $40k with all options included.
@TheRandomSanta No, DynoTune is a company that specializes in nitrous kits and parts for Corvettes and other cars. A dyno run is what's used to measure your car's horsepower.
@fitz207 that was something else, I had to look it up, but it was issued at August 1st. The straps that secured the fuel tank were corroding, causing fuel tanks to fall and lead to a few fires. It was for 97-04 F150s. And that was after another 1.2million trucks were recalled for airbag deployment issues in april...I dunno seeing as how they've got just as many recalls on the books as anyone else, I find it hard to swallow that they're trying so much harder...
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but will you allow me to post a full tour of my new truck in a similar style to yours? It's only b/c your style is the best.
Is the dual mode exhaust a new option for 2011? I have a 2010 gs and it was to my understanding that the gs was the only model with that feature. Now I could be wrong but that's just what I thought, at least for the 2010 Corvette models.
I am so in LOVE with a C6 corvette, I need one in my life. And all the ppl talking about the cheap looking interior STFU. You do not buy this kind of car for a luxury interior... Understand?
@1mlb704 True it is better than engine or transmission problems. If I were considering buying this car I'd complain to the dealer until they fixed it or just get a different one that didn't have that problem. It should be covered under the warranty anyways. I know any interior issues I have with my '07 GTI are covered under its warranty.
Hi. As this car is rear wheel drive, is it possible to drive it in the snow, or would you not advise this. It might sound silly however I am looking at buying a car and have been $70000 and $250000 to buy it. It must be auto or paddle shift and be able to drive in the snow. Any help on what my best bet is?
@RapiDEraZeR i'm pretty sure theres a way to manually open them. I was next to a corvette at a light and all of a sudden it got louder even though it was still idling
great review. Im saving up for a deposit on a 2008-09 C6 base coupe just like this one except a manual 3LT (or min. 2LT). i'll be ready by September 2023 and will be cherry picking a clean, low mileage unmodded one, like it came out of Bowling Green. With Covid inflated prices a good one is about 30k now, which is about 10k more than pre-covid days.
@ExplorerXP8 What does cubic inch/horsepower matter? We are not limited in size. The LS series has all kinds of power upgrades if you want it. If you are looking at 2 diff motors making 400 to 500HP I would rather have the bigger displacement. It's easier on parts, less wear, etc. You say the vette isn't much faster. Maybe not in a straight line but it's generally much more composed, better weight balance&handling. I like Mustangs but they just are not in the same class as a vette
@stopscrewingaround11 What about that rash of F150's bursting into flames in other people's driveways a while back? In fact they issued a recall about a month ago for another potential fire hazard if I recall correctly...
@TUFFGUYS1 They're both gonna be redesigned in the next couple of years & they're finally putting a modern V-6 Engine in the Impala for 2012 with 300 HP as well as a 6-Speed automatic which makes it a little better.
why are the door handles positioned differently on the drivers side and passenger side? on the drives side the door handle is straight across but the passenger side is kind of diagonally up.
@85ZingoGTR Yeah and guess what, this is the base model corvette aka the volume seller. This would be the equivalent of a V6 mustang. The Z06 and ZR1 only come with 6 speed manuals(both of which would spank the GT500).
@saabkyle04 I apologize if you got a million requests already but can you do a volt? Not sure if they're down there yet but would be great to see :) Be safe down there Irene is bearing :/
@1mlb704 That comment wasn't hating on the car at all. It was pointing out a huge problem with a brand new car. If you want to shell out $50k+ for a car that's already falling apart, be my guest.
The corvettes exterior stayed the same for 2006-2012 I thought they changed the lights abit but they didn't. Rim size can do alot on the cars cosmetics.
@Pete4rings I assume just in case you lose one O.O that's all I can think of. Don't really know how it would be possible for anyone to lose a roof to a car though.
@Qwbecz Get something with All Wheel Drive if you want something snow-friendly. My Cadillac's Rear Wheel Drive is terrible in the snow. Don't get high-performance RWD cars if you want to use them year-round. Do you want luxury or performance more? Most luxury cars have AWD options, many performance cars do too, if you indeed have $250k to spend on a car.
for a long time i am a subscriber to your channel and i would like to do me a favor. Could you please make a full presentation of a Toyota Supra 94' and over?? Thanks for your time and keep up the good work with your videos

1:17 to 1:18 fastest 0-200 ever
😂😂😂
🤣
16 city and 26 highway for a 436HP 6.2 liter V8 that is amazing man.
l like this generation of the Vette, mostly for its styling.
Interior look really nice too
Corvette, Ford GT, Dodge Viper: Americans badass! 💪🏽🔥
Man that thing sounds amazing when those flaps open up the inner pipes!!! It's got that very unique Corvette sound to it which I love. Looking forward to the Z06 video!!

I must be the only one that likes the interior. I think its decent, especially for its price, and performance!
chevrolet has been very innovative with their most recent interiors, and i hope they will also bring their new interior designs to the corvette very soon...
I personally like it and would take one over a GT500 or Challenger SRT-8. I know that many people would disagree with me but I just have always liked the new C6 Corvette. I think it looks great.
I like how all the gauges flip forward when you start the car.
That corvette looks awesome C6. I like this generation and it’s my favorite.
"Thumbs Up" for kyle's awesome work on those vids.
@mak450 If I'm not mistaken that recall was for a faulty cruise control switch. F150's without cruise control were not part of that recall. This was not a recall for the entire F150 lineup.
Awesome! Love Corvettes! Great vid as always Kyle!
I want one now 😩
1. In a city where there is traffic is better to have automatic.
2. Easy and relax drive.
This is the coolest corvette model ever made I have to get one
Big Brudda same
I like the C4.
Nice to see how we hve progressed.
Thanks for showing the window sticker!!! Good video!
haha....No worries. I'm in Canada where "entry level" is $64,000 starting point and the ZR1 goes for $132,000. In any case, the door panels and clips are pretty standard across the line. All quality issues aside it's a still a great car.
amazing car, good work saabkyle =D
Goodbye C6 corvette Generation.
You're still sexy as all Fuck.
pretty great car. 4/5 stars, better than most cars. medium-good sports car :)
5/5 sounding
@0:19 I can't believe he actually thought it was important to tell viewers where he's at.
Think he was just shouting out the dealership to let him review the car
Monroe, NC??? Wow I live near there lol.
Seeing that shopping center as it was 10 years ago is kinda crazy too

i would prefer they do away with the exhaust vaccum system they did as i like more of a loud roar haha
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but will you allow me to post a full tour of my new truck in a similar style to yours? It's only b/c your style is the best.

I wonder does it create a storm in the car when one side is at max heat and other max cool?
nice vids kyle
I am so in LOVE with a C6 corvette, I need one in my life.
And all the ppl talking about the cheap looking interior STFU. You do not buy this kind of car for a luxury interior... Understand?
You don't really need to. You can pull out the fuse for the doors and it keeps them open all the time.
@1mlb704 True it is better than engine or transmission problems.

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for this one. Do you know how to recognize a base model, a Z06 and a ZR1?
Favorite car ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyle why are you afraid to push the pedal to the metal to give max rpm??? And is that the new 2012 Camaro ZL1 ??? 1:29
@RapiDEraZeR i'm pretty sure theres a way to manually open them. I was next to a corvette at a light and all of a sudden it got louder even though it was still idling
Will you be able to test drive a 2007-2010 ford edge?
What mic do you use for your UA-cam Videos?
I hope to see a LP 740 Adventor in the future.
@soundstreamchevy im pretty sure those are some flaps in the exhaust to make it louder and breathe easier under heavy acceleration
great review. Im saving up for a deposit on a 2008-09 C6 base coupe just like this one except a manual 3LT (or min. 2LT). i'll be ready by September 2023 and will be cherry picking a clean, low mileage unmodded one, like it came out of Bowling Green.

Does all corvette equipped exclusively with proper manual transmission?
Can't wait til you review a Z06.
zr1 is def one for the wish list of cars
@SJSharkWannabe what kind of truck do you have?
@TheWarmplate Ditto, I prefer the GM square & circular key set.
Cool car!!
@stopscrewingaround11 What about that rash of F150's bursting into flames in other people's driveways a while back? In fact they issued a recall about a month ago for another potential fire hazard if I recall correctly...
Nice video! Can you please do a 2000 Nissan quest gxe
nice video
Can you make a review on caprice 2011
i like the corvette, sure the quality on them may not be top notch but shit for the money you can't beat em and they look good.
@Chris07860 thanks man that was really buggin me out cause i realised alot of gm's sport cars had that feature
@TUFFGUYS1 They're both gonna be redesigned in the next couple of years & they're finally putting a modern V-6 Engine in the Impala for 2012 with 300 HP as well as a 6-Speed automatic which makes it a little better.
I wanna see a review of the Chevy Spark please!
yo kyle, can you please do a review of a ferrari 458 italia. i appreciate it !
NICE CAR
why are the door handles positioned differently on the drivers side and passenger side? on the drives side the door handle is straight across but the passenger side is kind of diagonally up.
WHY DOES IT NEED A SPARE TOP? IS IT HEAVY TO LIFT OUT LIKE THE OLD TRANS AM CAMERO T TOPS?
UA-cam the place where everyone own's million dollar cars, and are certified mechanics!
Can a third person ride in the trunk ?
what happens if the battery dies and you cant ENTER the vehicle is there another lever like the inside??
@85ZingoGTR Yeah and guess what, this is the base model corvette aka the volume seller. This would be the equivalent of a V6 mustang. The Z06 and ZR1 only come with 6 speed manuals(both of which would spank the GT500).
is that auto a conventional one or double clutch?
Cool man!
@saabkyle04 I apologize if you got a million requests already but can you do a volt? Not sure if they're down there yet but would be great to see :) Be safe down there Irene is bearing :/
@cadiboy00 There is a lever somewhere on the door I forget but I seen another video on youtube of someone explaining it.
@Oldsellerros
Look on his page, he reviewed a Fiesta several months ago. Not the fully loaded model though.
@1mlb704 That comment wasn't hating on the car at all. It was pointing out a huge problem with a brand new car. If you want to shell out $50k+ for a car that's already falling apart, be my guest.
@kaneem001 they updated the interiors for 2012
The corvettes exterior stayed the same for 2006-2012 I thought they changed the lights abit but they didn't. Rim size can do alot on the cars cosmetics.
hey man, you should do a review of the new corvette c7 stingray automatic
@kmann1994 Ya, I agree. Thats always been one of the Corvettes few weaknesses.
What corvette model is it ZR1??? ZO6???
You should buy a better camera! 720p HD sounds good! You can afford that right?
and also 16 mpg city thats pretty fucking good for a 6.2 lol
I lol when he said nice n tight on the steering lolz
@saabkyle04 how tall are you? i dont know if ill fit in one of those cuz im 6'6"
@Pete4rings I assume just in case you lose one O.O that's all I can think of. Don't really know how it would be possible for anyone to lose a roof to a car though.
@Qwbecz Get something with All Wheel Drive if you want something snow-friendly. My Cadillac's Rear Wheel Drive is terrible in the snow. Don't get high-performance RWD cars if you want to use them year-round. Do you want luxury or performance more? Most luxury cars have AWD options, many performance cars do too, if you indeed have $250k to spend on a car.
@nzchariboy the gorgeous 599 GTO also has flaps
01:35 you see the exhaust valve working, kind of cool
can you do ZR1 or Z06 ... if you can :)
@rabihz24 Sporks car? What's that?
Can I ask you something, is it okay if you rev up to 5000 to 7000 rpm? Please don't rev around 3000~4000 rpm because you never push it to the limit.
And why you didn't open the roof of the corvette?
what does the s-gear do?
Automatic? Kyle, I sincerely hope you did a ZR-1.
@hitssquad They could use a multi-link set-up at the rear with an electronic diff, and get much better handling than the leafies that they have now.
i remeber the heads up display from the roadmasters
for a long time i am a subscriber to your channel and i would like to do me a favor. Could you please make a full presentation of a Toyota Supra 94' and over?? Thanks for your time and keep up the good work with your videos
