  • The C6 Corvette is a fantastic sportscar. Available for the 2005 model year, and produced through 2013, we got to see two body styles for the Vette. The convertible, as shown in this review, and the hardtop! The best of the C6 came in 2008... revisions made changed the Vette's. So today I explain/show the importance of the 08 Vette, more specifically the convertible version!

    I have had 4 C6(3 verts/1 Z06), currently a ‘12 GS 6 spd convertible. Love this car. They are just timelessly beautiful.

      Considering a 2011 GS manual, low mileage convertible. Do you get much wind noise without a wind deflector? Would you recommend? Thanks.

      @@cozmicsoull I would, we had a 2010 GS convertible that we liked and the only reason I traded it was because of the automatic transmission, it worked fine but the manual in these late C6 cars is just so Dadgum good. Get her, you won’t regret it.

    My first Corvette was a 2005 C6 Lemans Blue Coupe. I currently own a 2013 60th Anniversary Grand Sport Coupe. I am a big fan of the C6.

    My 07 LS2 400hp V8 does just fine. The differences between the LS2 and 3 are highly exaggerated. 30 extra horsepower won't change the world. The LS engines are very good in general.

    I should have know this was a sales pitch when he said he didn't know about the audio system, when someone sincerely trying to transmit information about the car would have simply looked the fact up beforehand.

    It's not a better engine. I'm so sick and tired of people here saying this. I've built so many LS engines I can tell you right now there's very little difference between an LS2 and an LS3 and both of them can be built to produce massive power. Hell. I built an LS1 to head over 3,000 horsepower so there's nothing special about the '08 and newer over the 05, 06 and '07

      The LS3 is a better engine, more power and more reliability is the overall general concensus.. the LS1 and 2 are still great and not far behind..

      Hi, CEO of General Motors speaking here - I can confirm that there is a massive difference in performance between the LS2 and the LS3. Glad to clear the confusion on this topic.

    • @mikeflores2000
      @mikeflores2000 Місяць тому

      Both LS2 and LS3 engines have port injection to wash carbon deposits off the intake valve and reduce risk of
      Low Speed Preignition. C7 and C8 have this potential at high mileage because of DI.
