  • Today we visit Corvette Warehouse in Dallas to take out a beautiful 2012 C6 Corvette Grand Sport and I give you my opinions of the convertible as I have never driven a Corvette convertible outside of my C8. I also do a demonstration of how to lower and raise the convertible top.

    Went from a jaguar xk to this. Best choice ever. I love everything about it. Even the rims are baller. I got the automatic. I'm sick of shifting gears, fun when racing, sucks when you're in downtown traffic

    • @FrontSeatDriver
      @FrontSeatDriver  Місяць тому +1

      Yes!! I love the rims. I absolutely agree with you. I love a manual transmission but it’s just terrible in traffic. We have a few areas here in DFW that I refuse to bring my C7 manual through.

    Hello everyone, OK, I’m not a fan of convertibles at all, this one looks pretty good, but it would look much better in someone else’s garage than it would in mine ! 😂
    PS. Thanks for another good video. 👍

    I gotta give you A BIG thumbs up 👍🏻 over the past 30 years I’ve owned five Corvettes and a 2018 Camaro ZL1 I have never gone through a drive-through or eaten fast food in any of them, never have & never will. If I happen to be out and about, and the wife and kids, tell me to bring home fast food, I will come home to get my hummer H3 🍻

    • @FrontSeatDriver
      @FrontSeatDriver  6 місяців тому +1

      Thanks and I am with you 100%. For many years I wouldn’t even allow water in my car. I have kinda backed off that but it cannot be in anything that sweats. I don’t want water ring residue in my cup holder. 😁

    A top down Corvette is the ultimate expression of the corvette line . I appreciate the lighter weight of a cloth manual top, since I don't put it up often.

    I own 2011 GS convertible. I love it but dont have time to drive it because i have to work 7 days a week to stay above water. Maybe 1 day i can finally enjoy it. It has 18000 miles.

    White with tan and black interior. It looks great on my C5 and it looks great on the C6.

  • @kerry_glock
    @kerry_glock 6 місяців тому +2

    Compare the C6 ZO6 with the C8 Stingray. Both close to 500 horsepower give or take 5 hp either way. Yes, visibility in the C6 beats the C8. I find myself checking more and more with the C8 before changing lanes. I didn’t have a C7 so it’s not in my wheelhouse to make a comparison.

    • @FrontSeatDriver
      @FrontSeatDriver  6 місяців тому +1

      That’s a good one!

    • @FrontSeatDriver
      @FrontSeatDriver  6 місяців тому +1

      To be fair, we could do both in manual since Z only came in manual.

    @Clemens-bar 5 місяців тому +1

    Hey FSD, wouldn’t mind a comparison of a C7 automatic vs C7 Z51 automatic. Wondering if performance offsets the Z51 cost and maintenance costs ex: bigger tires and brakes. etc. $$. Especially if I won’t track it … much.

    • @FrontSeatDriver
      @FrontSeatDriver  5 місяців тому +1

      That would be a good one. I’d like to get Steve behind the wheel of a C7 Z51 because he had a C7 non z51 for several years. He may be able to give good insight as to whether there is much difference.

    An automatic is a "no go" for me. Has to be a manual or what's the point. Looks great though!

    • @FrontSeatDriver
      @FrontSeatDriver  Місяць тому +1

      I tend to agree. My C8 is auto and often quite boring while my C7 is a manual. I definitely enjoy it much more. Unless I’m in traffic. Then I HATE IT. lol
