Thanks for helping me not ruin my life. I was going to trade my Jeep TJ for a Vette because I thought it would be more comfortable to sleep in but you really opened my eyes to the harsh reality.
I would buy a C6 Corvette. This guy knows nothing about Corvettes talking about personal problems. He’s going through like a divorce so that takes the focus off of what the C6 offers especially if you get a grand sport or Z06 you will not be disappointed over driving a jeep. Don’t listen to this guy. His videos suck.
One of the perks of the Vette as a sports car is with some effort you can curl up and sleep in the trunk if you sold your soul, house or wife for it. Great looking GS.
I started off curious about possible flaws as I think it is one of the most comfortable and amazing vehicles I have ever been in.. but then realized the video is hilarious.. love your video great sense of humor!
I’ve had a C6 for 4 years and I have to disagree with you that it sucks. I’m in my late 70’s and I don’t have a problem taking off the top by myself. I love my Corvette!
@@jimmyvincentmusacchio6181 Go for it. I own a beautiful 2006 C6 red convertible. I want a C7 in year or two. I have two pick-ups as well. A 1997 F-350 7.3 L powerstroke 4X4 that I bought new. Red in color. I also have a 1990 F-150XLT Lariat shortbed two wheel drive. It has the 5.0 L V-8. Paint plans for this truck is Black Cherry.
@@mustang8206 ??? You need to put the pipe down also. Start doing your research. I’m looking at a 2008 Z06 right now. They are all over the board at 50 K to 55K. That’s pretty good for 15 years old.
I agree trying to sleep in one is tough, but waking up sore and stiff...and stiff...in my Z06 with 650hp at 3am, and nobody is on the road, and I only have to push that button, and the beast roars to life...worth it.
I recommend that you get a nice 1974 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser with the wood grain options. No problems you will be able to live in the back. Lot of storage, tires will be cheap, you can buy recaps. Mileage could be as high as 10 to 12 mpg.. good luck, great video
All I hear is that episode of ‘That 70s show’ where red foreman ate the pot brownies on accident and sold Eric’s Vista Cruiser on him, and Eric made him buy the car back, and he was trying to haggle with them for the car back. “That car, is a vista cruiser… you could literally, CRUISE the vistas” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 it’s just because this car is not made for homeless punks and rookies, It’s all about the look and performance. Go back to your previous 4 doors HONDA .
@@PushingGears I didn’t say Honda is a bad car, I meant if you need to sleep in your car and need more space to put your blanket and the shopping cart from Walmart.get your Honda back, because 2 seats cars are not for you. I own a C6 corvette for for 7years and it’s the most reliable car for the money you pay.
Spot on! And I'll add one more here, keeping the clutch fluid fresh. With the heat at the throw out bearing, the fluid will turn dark and if not addressed will turn to mud. Use a syringe to remove the fluid and fill with new. You can't remove it all, but do this a few times and you'll replace most of it. I love my Vette. When I hit the throttle it's Boomer away!
that sounds like a nightmare, i got a C5, theres none of that, yeah the interior is way worse, but with none of this syringe business maybe its worth a look?
After I saw that his first two "flaws" were BS I stopped watching. People that own C6s love them for good reasons and are not looking to sell or trade. I've had mine for about 6 years and so far it has been flawless...very fast, comfortable, reliable, and looks like a friggin Batmobile that turns heads everywhere that I go. I love it and will not be getting rid of it anytime soon...if ever.
Great car for the money, my main complaint was the window reset and battery issues constantly with door locking as well. All connected. I had a 2012 and the seats were way better and did go back further. And my stock sound system was pretty damn good. Also the trunk has some of the most space ever lol. ppl said i had a truck in the back lol. I was getting close to 30pmg on the highway lol. Heads up display works great and is def nice when you have other cars that dont have it
@MrNexus2000 the battery itself was fine, just everytime it was unplugged, had to do a window reset and then if the door was open during the unplugging, it would lock me out or a security issue. Had the windows cracked a half inch and couldn't get up. A real constant pain in the ass
@@steven-fury why would you leave the battery unplugged? Would you leave it unplugged because you would leave the car put away during winter season or something? Please excuse the question I’m just trying to get a better understanding.
I hate this car so much I decided to buy it and fully build it! Man I wish I could have bought a prius instead with better cup holders! Feel free to drop some comments and subscribe like you are subscribed to AARP
Mine sucks too...500 WHP is not enough to get my prescriptions fast enough. Hurts my hips and back getting into and forget about getting out... Call EMS! Need a much more comfotable Buick Park Avenue
@@SuperChippersonthat reminds me of a picture I took one time. I parked right next to a C6 with my 04. I still like the C5 with the slightly more rounded features.
Great video my man! Laughing right out of my New Balance. I guess I can agree with most of those...but would still rather have one of these than a Muscrat or Challenger!
Plus the C6 is so easy to get into a parking garages, go up steep driveways and a joy to drive over speed bumps. Plus always try to park between a F350 ford truck an a RAM 3500 heavy duty pickup. Best if them both have a 6” lift on them.
Bro, u messed up my plans....🥵 Actually, the only thing I'm not too happy about is the lack of reclining seats...All the other stuff, can be dealt with.
Holy shit this was the funniest video! I'm 50, recently divorced and literally going to purchase a c6 as part of my midlife crisis (however, no new balance shoes but I joke about those too for men my age!). What an entertaining funny video!
Hey so I finally got my midlife crisis C6 Corvette! I'm not a UA-camr per se, just a have my simple channel for uploads and I made a video of my new ride where I plug your channel. Seriously man, this video is great! And again, no new balance shoes for me! ua-cam.com/video/hwLBM6MbjkI/v-deo.html
I had a C6.....None of the things that you mentioned did I ever have a problem....it's an awesome Automobile... Near 500 mile range on hiway road trips....Extremely fun to Drive...Plenty of Cargo room...Awesome !!!!😊
Just a wasted video. I've ownered 6 corvette. You bought cheap. Luxury is LT3. LT1 is performance. I'm 70. Owned 72 still own it, 88, (2) C5, C6 GS, C8 2023. It the longest US production passenger car. It a performance sports car. Sports car is define by the English 2 seater. A Camry can be turned into performance with $$$$. IT still not a Corvette.
Fantastic information for new buyers. I sold the Oakley Shades and that will be one less issue, but I don’t understand the problem with the Mississippi River channeling in the back groove. My cousin in Baton Rouge uses Mississippi River water as fuel in his tractor and because of that has more torque than a ZO6. Why do you think the football players at Ole Miss are so good?
i get 33 mpg on the highway. and maybe you like cupholders on your armrest like the mustang and the supra. also, it's very comfortable. and it fit 55'' TV
Um.. as a C6 Grand Sport owner... here's the truths (I'm guessing this is a satire/parody.. but still...) 1. Seats recline about 45 degrees back with the lever, though you might hit the wall behind you, so you'll have to move your seat forward to recline more than that. At 5'6" (same as this guy) you can sleep in the huge flat bench area if you wanted (bring a pillow) and move the seats forward with the latch on the headrest. 2. Clutch is not heavy; it's very forgiving like a Honda Civic with early-bite. Change your clutch fluid if it is. Also, buy grown-up shoes. 3. If you buy the 3LT or 4LT C6, there are 2 subwoofers on the doors. 1LT-2LT can add these.. or.. You can buy a Subwoofer that fits in the storage hole in the back driver's side for cheap. 4. C6 rear-trunk storage is impressively VAST at 22 cubic feet similar to a Suzuki Grand Vitara (compare to a full-sized, flagship Cadillac CT6 that has 16 cubic feet and a Ford Explorer has 18). 5. Don't buy the run-flats (heavy, slow, doesn't warm-up) and you'll pay half that, which is about the normal cost for tires for any car. 6. You camm'ed it, so yes, you'll get bad gas mileage. I put a Stage 3 supercharger on my Grand Sport and get 22 mpg combined City/Highway. I can hyper-mile at 40 mpg on the highway at 60. 7. It's hard to fill your gas tank? It's the same gas cap on every car.. what? Silly. Don't be drunk. 8. Move the cup closer to you in the 2nd hole (or don't drink and drive because it causes messy drifting at 1.11 lateral g's.) 9. If you don't bring a drink, the sunglasses fit in the cup holder, or glovebox, or on your head (or in a case in the center console) or buy a visor clip for a dollar. 10. You bought a base Corvette... sorry. Infotainment doesn't suck. 11. Your eyes are the backup camera. You can install one into the infotainment screen though. 12. You can remove the 1-4 shift with a fuse for a dollar, or have a heavier right foot and it will bypass it for you. 13. Water drains down the tube so there's no need. 14. Lift more. You can't lift 20 pounds? Are those bicep implants? Targa removal is quick and easy. 15. LS3 is bullet-proof so you'll never work on it. Ever. 16. My 2012 GS M6 headlamps are not yellowed. 17. No one is impressed. 18. No girl is impressed. 19. Car is inexpensive (for now)...
Love the wheels! Are those from a ZR1? I think the ZR1 body kit looks awesome too. I’ve had to pull the LS3 engine out and it’s no easy task. Great work!!
Wanna know why I like the c6 so much/why it has been my dream car since I was like 6 years old? I like it, a lot, it's bassically that simple, I currently drive a 2005 chevrolet colorado z85 with the regular cab and it's got that 5 cylinder where the fifth for some reason always has problems. My truck isn't exactly heavy on features, considering I literally don't even have an aux to connect my phone to, so i've got CD's ready in it. My truck is just a big inconvenience when it comes to a lot of things BUT I love it because it's actually fun to drive, that's all I really care about tbh. Screw all the features n stuff I don't really care about those things, the interior just kinda melts away once your foot is on the pedal if you are someone who actually actively enjoys the fun that comes with driving. I don't really care what others think of what my vehicle looks like because again tbh my truck is rusty as shit and small lmao not really a looker vehicle. The c6 tho? Hell yeah, that will turn heads for sure. Do I care? No. Will my shiteating grin go all the way back to my ears when I step on it in the c6? Hell yeah.
Funny list. Some is true some isn’t. Truck space is actually quite a bit in reality. In 2012 HUD moved into 2LT package. When you hit the brake i heard the same weird sound mine make. I went with a GS for the SAME reason. Fun video man.
I'm pretty sure this video has to be a joke All of your complaints are ridiculous It's a Corvette not a BMW or Mercedes I just bought this car a week ago after owning A C5 Z06 The car is amazing I don't have any complaints as of right now If you cant afford the tires for it then don't buy the car. Anyone who buys a car like that is going to expect the tires to be expensive because they have to be You making this video makes you sound very unintelligent on reviewing a car
Major pluses for C6 versus C7, C8: 1) What is the most reliable model year for C6? 2012 LS3 engine in newer model year C6 Corvette has Sequential Port Injection and not Direct Injection vulnerable to carbon buildup on intake valves. 2) C6 has no major issues with automatic transmission. 3) C6 has no silly AFM aka Displacement on Demand stressing already defective valve lifters prone to damage engine. 4) C6 does not pool water behind cabin window like C8 hard top convertible when top up behind cabin. 5) Cheaper and simpler DIY repairs to engine. 6) Morimoto headlights available for C6.
Yeah the cup carrier's do suck, but I don't mind, driving my Z06 is always a blast. Had a 2011 GS before the Z06, did have 15in sub in the back, but had to get box custom made🤣 so that's right too.
The car forces you to shift from 1 to 4th gear when at 2,000 rpms for fuel economy. You have to wait till youre out of that rpm range to be allowed into 2nd gear
Ive had one for a few years. Its best to think of it as a WS6 on steroids. Its cost cutting comes from the interior and overall inside. The motor is where all the cash got dumped into. -My clutch doesnt feel heavy or any different than my SN95 Mustang -I will forever hate Bose for the trash ass sound system, I installed all new stuff myself. -Tires like that are universal not specific to the corvette - I get 20-30 MPG on a stock LS2, you have a Cam thats your issue. -The center console is useless -Mine doesnt get hot -I have the HUD and its ok, feels like old tech now tho -The 1-4 shift is avoided with just a little more RPM. -the top is super easy to remove for me. -The headlights ARE always trashed out EDIT: every single LS2 Corevette must have the Harmonic balancer changed before 70k miles. It's a long story but the community is in unity about this one. They fail every 60K miles or so.
Oh my, i don't want a knee surgery! 😱 Definetely not buying a c6 anymore! I'll get a tent and fishing tools instead. Nice Video, funny 🤗. Please make more❤
Bro I’m so glad I bought my 2014 5.0 GT it’s been super reliable sounds great with some headers and exhaust. Your cammed out c6 is dope tho if there’s anything us ford guys cheat on we take peeks at the corvettes time to time.
You have to buy the New Balance Corvette edition shoe - they’re made of a special compound so they don’t slip off of wet Corvette pedals. They’re expensive though.
Corvette seats do recline, the Bose stereo actually thumps the head unit does suck though, the everyone thinks you rich is spot on though, they don’t realize it’s a 14 year old Chevy. My gs is an automatic convertible so while i don’t have the shifter problems or the 1-4 shift issue I have even less storage space. But boy is it a blast to drive 8 months out of the year. The only issue i really have with mine is i need to tighten the straps for the top so it clears the tanou opening and closing. But now it’s winter so mod season has begun.
As a C6 owner since the first ones were released I spotted this video and thought "what's this fool talking about?!" Shortly after starting to watch it I realized your approach is pure satire! Got some good chuckles out of your "critique"..... thanks, and nice job!
I don’t try to sleep in my c6 I rent a hotel room. Heads up is a option. My grand sport has it. 😂😂😂 my c6 has its flaws but when you start it up and stomp it! 1/8 of mile running 7seconds on hard hankook tires my nitto drag slips watch out! And still gets decent gas mileage. Stage 2 motor upgrade stage3 transmission automatic 6speed. 😊
Most of these problems can be fixed, you can get custom seats, bose speakers, custom headlights (C7 style design) AND the infotainment (aftermarket headunit)
I have owned 35 Corvettes in my life, every year was better than the one before it. I feel bad for you, because I have loved every one that I have owned. Yes I can afford $ 2200 dollars for tires , it's just part of the game.
I have owned corvettes for years & I haven’t had any problem with seats or lights or sound system , however there is a ass for every seat & I’m a proud corvette owner.👍
This was the era when the business execs were dictating performance cars for the American brands. I'm glad they've let the engineers do their own thing in recent years
Thanks for helping me not ruin my life. I was going to trade my Jeep TJ for a Vette because I thought it would be more comfortable to sleep in but you really opened my eyes to the harsh reality.
I would buy a C6 Corvette. This guy knows nothing about Corvettes talking about personal problems. He’s going through like a divorce so that takes the focus off of what the C6 offers especially if you get a grand sport or Z06 you will not be disappointed over driving a jeep. Don’t listen to this guy. His videos suck.
Keep the jeep. Get the vette anyways
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I’m thinking of trading in my JL for a C6, I just don’t need to off-road it as much as I had thought
F*ck it, just cram yourself into the back and sleep there😂
No one should ever have to sleep in a Corvette
You can sleep in your car but you can't race your house.
I do in my C2 all the time. It’s a good time🏁
I was thinking the same thing
I’ve done it, it’s not fun but did the job
I’ve had to do it. My c5 is by FAR the worst car I ever had to sleep in. Conversely? My 01 Camaro was one of the best. The seat went really far back.
One of the perks of the Vette as a sports car is with some effort you can curl up and sleep in the trunk if you sold your soul, house or wife for it.
Great looking GS.
The C6 is simply just too hard core for most average drivers with not great new features. It’s a widowmaker
I started off curious about possible flaws as I think it is one of the most comfortable and amazing vehicles I have ever been in.. but then realized the video is hilarious.. love your video great sense of humor!
As an old guy, this video cracked me up😂. Well done, whippersnapper😋
Yup, sitting here laughing while wearing my jorts and New Balance shoes. I LOVE my 2010 Grand Sport...she ain't perfect but what is ?

Relax grandpa this video is a joke we all love corvettes too 😂
To much misinformation.
Go buy another pair of New Balance shoes!!
Yes guys this video is a joke 😂
Okay....so...if you don't like the vette,then why would you buy it if all your going to do is complain about it? What a whiner.
should I buy the z06 or a kia?
I scraped my tip too, the exhaust was a lil too hot
Fantastic information for new buyers. I sold the Oakley Shades and that will be one less issue, but I don’t understand the problem with the Mississippi River channeling in the back groove.

I'll bet you haven't sold it yet
Wait, this corvette gets 9/11 mpg? No way, I thought the regular c6 gets about 15/23 mpg at least. Maybe this is the Z06 or something
Is it typical to get 9-11 MPG with a mid range cam on a grand sport?
It depends on the cam profile, tune and how you drive, the important question is.... did you set up the elevator hit on Pac?
@@PushingGears 😂😂😂 fantastic reply my man, made me laugh
Take it from a C6 drop top owner since 2007, my advise to you is get rid of it if your that dissatisfied! Oh one more fact I’m a young 77 years.
Thank you. Where did you get those wheels?
3/4 of these aren’t a problem for me
Are the tires really that expensive or are those just the super high performance ones?
Pilot super sports i have 19" and 20" cup wheels so they are more expensive than regular corvette tires
@@PushingGears how much do "regular" tires normally cost?
i get 33 mpg on the highway. and maybe you like cupholders on your armrest like the mustang and the supra. also, it's very comfortable. and it fit 55'' TV
I’m getting my corvette tomorrow any advice 2012 grand sport 1Lt is the mpg really that bad?
I have an 2007 it averages 24 on the highway.
Um.. as a C6 Grand Sport owner... here's the truths (I'm guessing this is a satire/parody.. but still...)
1. Seats recline about 45 degrees back with the lever, though you might hit the wall behind you, so you'll have to move your seat forward to recline more than that.
At 5'6" (same as this guy) you can sleep in the huge flat bench area if you wanted (bring a pillow) and move the seats forward with the latch on the headrest.
2. Clutch is not heavy; it's very forgiving like a Honda Civic with early-bite. Change your clutch fluid if it is. Also, buy grown-up shoes.
3. If you buy the 3LT or 4LT C6, there are 2 subwoofers on the doors. 1LT-2LT can add these.. or.. You can buy a Subwoofer that fits in the storage hole in the back driver's side for cheap.
4. C6 rear-trunk storage is impressively VAST at 22 cubic feet similar to a Suzuki Grand Vitara (compare to a full-sized, flagship Cadillac CT6 that has 16 cubic feet and a Ford Explorer has 18).
5. Don't buy the run-flats (heavy, slow, doesn't warm-up) and you'll pay half that, which is about the normal cost for tires for any car.
6. You camm'ed it, so yes, you'll get bad gas mileage. I put a Stage 3 supercharger on my Grand Sport and get 22 mpg combined City/Highway. I can hyper-mile at 40 mpg on the highway at 60.
7. It's hard to fill your gas tank? It's the same gas cap on every car.. what? Silly. Don't be drunk.
8. Move the cup closer to you in the 2nd hole (or don't drink and drive because it causes messy drifting at 1.11 lateral g's.)
9. If you don't bring a drink, the sunglasses fit in the cup holder, or glovebox, or on your head (or in a case in the center console) or buy a visor clip for a dollar.
10. You bought a base Corvette... sorry. Infotainment doesn't suck.
11. Your eyes are the backup camera. You can install one into the infotainment screen though.
12. You can remove the 1-4 shift with a fuse for a dollar, or have a heavier right foot and it will bypass it for you.
13. Water drains down the tube so there's no need.
14. Lift more. You can't lift 20 pounds? Are those bicep implants? Targa removal is quick and easy.
15. LS3 is bullet-proof so you'll never work on it. Ever.
16. My 2012 GS M6 headlamps are not yellowed.
17. No one is impressed.
18. No girl is impressed.
19. Car is inexpensive (for now)...
Key takeaway: don’t get married
Love the wheels! Are those from a ZR1? I think the ZR1 body kit looks awesome too. I’ve had to pull the LS3 engine out and it’s no easy task. Great work!!
Cup 2 wheels off a c6 z06
@@captainohsowavy Ok! Nice wheels! I would get those too if I had a C6
@@michaelthomas5140 I have a set on the way
I have a GS as well
Wanna know why I like the c6 so much/why it has been my dream car since I was like 6 years old? I like it, a lot, it's bassically that simple, I currently drive a 2005 chevrolet colorado z85 with the regular cab and it's got that 5 cylinder where the fifth for some reason always has problems. My truck isn't exactly heavy on features, considering I literally don't even have an aux to connect my phone to, so i've got CD's ready in it. My truck is just a big inconvenience when it comes to a lot of things BUT I love it because it's actually fun to drive, that's all I really care about tbh. Screw all the features n stuff I don't really care about those things, the interior just kinda melts away once your foot is on the pedal if you are someone who actually actively enjoys the fun that comes with driving. I don't really care what others think of what my vehicle looks like because again tbh my truck is rusty as shit and small lmao not really a looker vehicle. The c6 tho? Hell yeah, that will turn heads for sure. Do I care? No. Will my shiteating grin go all the way back to my ears when I step on it in the c6? Hell yeah.
What’s the 1-3 gears issue thing ?
Those headlights ain’t cheap either. Bottom of the line is 275 (each)
Funny list. Some is true some isn’t. Truck space is actually quite a bit in reality. In 2012 HUD moved into 2LT package. When you hit the brake i heard the same weird sound mine make. I went with a GS for the SAME reason. Fun video man.
We all know it’s all true. Lying isn’t a good trait to have
I'm pretty sure this video has to be a joke
All of your complaints are ridiculous
It's a Corvette not a BMW or Mercedes
I just bought this car a week ago after owning A C5 Z06
The car is amazing I don't have any complaints as of right now
If you cant afford the tires for it then don't buy the car.
Anyone who buys a car like that is going to expect the tires to be expensive because they have to be
You making this video makes you sound very unintelligent on reviewing a car
Hes a FREAKING NUT JOB
Man I'll never need sunglasses again after all the shade in this video - I just love it!
My dream car. I will get either vette or Nissan versa😂.
Is why I bought a 1963 VW van to b prepared n case I get on your situation,, thx for the info,, I always knew that,, through my Por life,,!
Major pluses for C6 versus C7, C8:
1)
What is the most reliable model year for C6? 2012
LS3 engine in newer model year C6 Corvette has Sequential Port Injection and not Direct Injection vulnerable to carbon buildup on intake valves.
2)
C6 has no major issues with automatic transmission.
3)
C6 has no silly AFM aka Displacement on Demand stressing already defective
valve lifters prone to damage engine.
4)
C6 does not pool water behind cabin window like C8 hard top convertible when top up behind cabin.
5)
Cheaper and simpler DIY repairs to engine.
6)
Morimoto headlights available for C6.
I thought all c6’s came with heads up display?
honestly you shouldn't buy a C6... not for you
2LS vs 3LS?
Why did you buy it Julio ?
Yeah the cup carrier's do suck, but I don't mind, driving my Z06 is always a blast. Had a 2011 GS before the Z06, did have 15in sub in the back, but had to get box custom made🤣 so that's right too.
And that's why you should buy a 1st, 2nd or even 3rd gen V. You compromise some performance for a whole lot of convenience.
What’s the 1-4 shift issue?
The car forces you to shift from 1 to 4th gear when at 2,000 rpms for fuel economy. You have to wait till youre out of that rpm range to be allowed into 2nd gear
@@PushingGears get a skip shift eliminator

Bro went straight for the geriatric community’s neck holy shit
OMFG! You just busted my shit up! Had me rolling the entire clip. Hilarious way of pointing out the shortcomings of the C6. Bravo 👏
Ive had one for a few years. Its best to think of it as a WS6 on steroids. Its cost cutting comes from the interior and overall inside. The motor is where all the cash got dumped into.
-My clutch doesnt feel heavy or any different than my SN95 Mustang
-I will forever hate Bose for the trash ass sound system, I installed all new stuff myself.
-Tires like that are universal not specific to the corvette
- I get 20-30 MPG on a stock LS2, you have a Cam thats your issue.
-The center console is useless
-Mine doesnt get hot
-I have the HUD and its ok, feels like old tech now tho
-The 1-4 shift is avoided with just a little more RPM.
-the top is super easy to remove for me.
-The headlights ARE always trashed out
EDIT: every single LS2 Corevette must have the Harmonic balancer changed before 70k miles. It's a long story but the community is in unity about this one. They fail every 60K miles or so.
Young kids have totally different likes and dislikes when it comes to corvette purchases.
Dang you really can't adjust the seats that's actually a serious negative for me :(
You can, i was just exagerating
@@PushingGears I since found out you can hahaa thanks though and great and funny video.
Oh my, i don't want a knee surgery! 😱 Definetely not buying a c6 anymore! I'll get a tent and fishing tools instead. Nice Video, funny 🤗. Please make more❤
Subscribbed!❤
“especially at your age” i fucking died
"A berry difficult task"... probably a raspberry difficult level
I love these guys flipping awesome vid brothers, I'm 6'3" and can't wait to sleep in my c6
Lmfao this entire video is gold
We need more of these videos so car prices can come down
He forgot to mention the fact it’s all fiberglass! A baby could lean against my car and their arm will go through it😂
You need a mini van my friend too much cry
You could say the same for 03-04 cobra it’s not meant to be comfy it’s to fast
I guess if someone ends up sleeping in a corvette their priorities in life were screwed up wayyyy before a divorce is on the table.
I have a 2013 c6 and the seats recline
Bro I’m so glad I bought my 2014 5.0 GT it’s been super reliable sounds great with some headers and exhaust. Your cammed out c6 is dope tho if there’s anything us ford guys cheat on we take peeks at the corvettes time to time.
No lie, if your feet are wet on the stock pedals, it's down right dangerous.
You have to buy the New Balance Corvette edition shoe - they’re made of a special compound so they don’t slip off of wet Corvette pedals. They’re expensive though.
Corvette seats do recline, the Bose stereo actually thumps the head unit does suck though, the everyone thinks you rich is spot on though, they don’t realize it’s a 14 year old Chevy. My gs is an automatic convertible so while i don’t have the shifter problems or the 1-4 shift issue I have even less storage space. But boy is it a blast to drive 8 months out of the year. The only issue i really have with mine is i need to tighten the straps for the top so it clears the tanou opening and closing. But now it’s winter so mod season has begun.
As a C6 owner since the first ones were released I spotted this video and thought "what's this fool talking about?!" Shortly after starting to watch it I realized your approach is pure satire! Got some good chuckles out of your "critique"..... thanks, and nice job!
I have an '05 C6, patience reqd to fully sort. I did, been great for many years now.
I don’t try to sleep in my c6 I rent a hotel room. Heads up is a option. My grand sport has it. 😂😂😂 my c6 has its flaws but when you start it up and stomp it! 1/8 of mile running 7seconds on hard hankook tires my nitto drag slips watch out! And still gets decent gas mileage. Stage 2 motor upgrade stage3 transmission automatic 6speed. 😊
Most of these problems can be fixed, you can get custom seats, bose speakers, custom headlights (C7 style design) AND the infotainment (aftermarket headunit)
I have owned 35 Corvettes in my life, every year was better than the one before it. I feel bad for you, because I have loved every one that I have owned. Yes I can afford $ 2200 dollars for tires , it's just part of the game.
I love my C6 Corvette, it's a affordable sports car as fast as a same year lambo
I have a 8 inch self powered sealed sub in the back made by DUAL. Has lasted 10 years hooked up to a Sony Head unit.
As a Corvette owner this was spot on luv it 🤣👍
I think you should sell your corvette if you hate it that much.
You shouldn’t have a vette if any of these are a problem
Exactly
LOL! This video is gold!!!
Hey wait a minute, I love the tasteless donut shop on the corner. LOL!
He’s right! My new balance is due slip on Pedals!
Hey Sonny... Old age and treachery will beat the sh*t out of youth and exuberance. Every time.
Thank you for preventing me on buying a car for the wrong reasons!
Couldn’t understand what he said about the shifter.
I have owned corvettes for years & I haven’t had any problem with seats or lights or sound system , however there is a ass for every seat & I’m a proud corvette owner.👍
This was the era when the business execs were dictating performance cars for the American brands. I'm glad they've let the engineers do their own thing in recent years
this car is fucking incredible mate
