In 4 or 5 years i will move to USA and buy a C6. I will make that happen
Update : 3 years have passed, and I faced ALOT of obstacles on my plan to immigrate to the USA. But, im actually moving to another country thats pretty close to the states in a month! Once i get settled there and save up some money the US plan is gonna come true. I think the "4 or 5 years" that I originally mentioned is gonna be pretty accurate!
I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
Hope you’re still working towards that goal
I better hear an update on this in 2 more years! Good luck
Update?
Any closer to getting over here?
watching my dad almost fall out of his new corvette was something ill always remember.
Hah its a VERY low car and can be tough to get into
I have 1998 C5 that I daily drove for 2 and half years. I agree with everything u said. My C5 has been extremely reliable in the 6 years I've owned it. I do all my own work/maintenance and these cars really arent bad to work on. I daily drive an 09 Silverado now which is better for room/comfort but the C5 is wayyy more fun.
Thanks for reaching out! Glad you can agree with some of this! The C5 is a beautiful sports car for a great price, my parents own a Silverado and they love it!
Actually having a Corvette Z06 just sitting in the garage and being able to access it's use at anytime of day or night is the fun factor. I tend to disagree a tad on the mileage, they do depreciate quite a bit if you have many miles on them, say 60K vs 20K, obviously the year is also a factor and condition, but let's just say both in excellent condition, same year say 2007, one will go for 36K dollars and the other for about 30K dollars. Roughly a little over 1K dollars for every 10K miles. The main thing about this car that is somewhat worrisome is the valve guides degradation, in which the 2006-2013 had the LS7 engines, but GM has narrowed it down to models affected to the 2008-2011, less than 1300 units have had this problem. Definitely the best bang for the buck, very close to super car territory for a fraction of the cost.....it puts a smile on my face everytime I drive.That's why I bought one!
That price for tires not bad. I spent $1600 on my mustang tires 20”
I was a Camaro (Still am) fan. I had a 1999 Camaro Base, 2014 Camaro RS and then 2019 Camaro 2SS. I was told “Once you get Corvette. You’ll never wanna get something else.” That was coming from a Mustang-Corvette and Camaro-Corvette owners. Good friends of mine. Is it true?? Idk lol I’ll find out soon. I love this video. You earned a new Subscriber 🔥
thank you so much! I will tell you that I think the corvette just FEELS different than many other cars and its addicting for sure. Hope you enjoy the future videos!
LMAO it kinda screams rob me hahaha man I love it and your channel I'm trying to save up my money to get my hands on this thing this summer
I was just being honest hahah 😂 glad you liked the video! I promise you won’t regret getting a nice summer car!
Great video, personally I like having a daily car and a fun car. Having dessert after every meal every day wouldn't be enjoyable now would it 🤣
Thanks so much! You got that right 😂 dessert every meal would not be the best
For the age, it's also.a daily driver also. I have an older model Buick Lucerne with only 54K. I want a low mileage C6 Grand sport. Both would share in those duties. Work is only a mile away, my second gig twice a week only 10 miles. I would definitely win.
New sub loved the video keep making c6 videos within a few months hoping to have my own c6 !
Thank you! Best of luck with your C6 purchase
Corvette lover...I have a c4 1987..in the market for a c6 z06 or c7GS...I really love that c6 though😎👍🏾🔥💯....new sub
The c4 is amazing! Drove one once and I was very impressed! Both of those are beautiful cars you would be impressed with! Thanks for subbing I hope you like the content!
Wow - love that color.
good stuff with going over the pros and cons of this car. My coworker is a super Mopar guy and goes on and on about the possibilities so its kinda rubbing off on me so i been window shopping Z06's since theyre something different.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I think the biggest factor is the value you get. No car really compares to the Z06 in terms of speed and coolness for the price. Plus, it probably won’t depreciate as much as some other vehicles in the muscle car class
i get 32-29mpg hwy after k&n intake install on my 07z.
Wow that’s great, as long as you don’t drive crazy you can get a pretty solid gas milage out of these cars
yessir! before the air intake it was around 27-28. shift under 2k and baby her and wala
Do you daily yours or no?
2 times a week i drive it to work and back. i daily my 06 pontiac gto
Wow that’s one heck of a daily! Nice car collection!
Own a 2012 Mustang GT & it’s the only fast car I’ve ever driven :/ since seeing your Z06 review I’ve decided I need to start saving for a C6 Z06... I’m gonna enjoy the mustang for now while simultaneously saving up for the C6 Z06 then sell the GT once I have enough
Thanks for checking it out I’m glad you liked the video! Best of luck with your car collection :)
Just bought a c5 z06 for $15k with 100k miles! There are only minor differences in my opinion between the base c6 and c5z
Hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Your car looks great friend
@@Coughingcatbleh thank you so much!
two questions: Have you had troubles with warning signals? Like "check brake fluid", "service rear end" or if the handle brake sign stays in in the cluster?
no I have not!
I own a 08 ZO6 pro’s it’s awesome con’s it’s awesome 😎
I’m in the process of buying a 2015 Stingray Z51 with 6,300 miles. Can’t wait.
my dream is owning a c5 or c6 corvette!!
I believe in you! You can do it !
Just curious, is yours currently lowered?
No this is stock ride hight, I’ve considered a 1inch lower but once you lower these cars they do start to become much harder to drive with potholes and driveways and such
If i were to use winter tires, would it still be not possible to drive it during the winter ?
I’ll say I’ve never put winter tires in this so I can’t say for sure, but based on my experience with it I highly doubt it. I’ve gotten stuck in my own driveway a few times in the winter just pulling it out the garage.
If you are going to spend the money on a vette it’s absolutely worth while to spend 2k on a winter beater
@@CaylebPletos hmm... might get an gt86, because it has slightly higher clearance, its cheaper and the corvette i was looking at had a crash at USA and the front+passanger door was damaged... it might be salvaged...
@@prospect2664 Ive had some good luck buying cars at auction!
@@CaylebPletos would you get this (happened in 2015, then it got shipped to europe and fixed it here in around 2016) img.vinchain.io/2015/12/24/ab/11b0db09b882404e_f794c67b50ed39.jpg
People that hate on the seats and interior are crazy as fuck man. I love my z06’s seats and interior. I’ve also had a buncha f bodies and two terminator cobras and a c5 and c4 so to meat it was all nice. People hating on the interior and seats are jealous and can’t afford a badass z06 love the car. Love that color. Mine was victory red.
Thank you so much! Beautiful color you had! I think my favorite features on the interior are the gauge cluster and the seats!
Premium gas hurts at this point in time 😔
It's tough out here for us
2 of the pros were that its a car and you dont need another car. Good pros my guy
Have the valves ticked ?
No
@@CaylebPletos thats my fear. Im torn between a C6 Z06 or a Grand Sport. The valves are the only thing keeping me from a Z06. Love the channel dude ! Thanks for the reply
It’s about 1-2K to fix it and worth the extra research. But the grand sport is also an amazing car too. You can’t go wrong with either really but if you plan to get a z06 just be prepared to pay to get it changed. Glad you like the channel 😄
@@CaylebPletos Z06 it is!
Since you are new to making videos, point the camera with more of the car in the shot, as opposed to you standing in front of the car, like its more about you than the car you are talking about.
Cons
#1 Too many people doing flybys and trying to face you
#2 More dudes will pay attention to your car than Chicks
#3 My back
#4 My hands peel
# 5 Ricers putting lives in danger trying to act hard when they see you
# 6 I have to shut the car off at drive thru
#3 I feel that 😂
I would have one for a toy and road trips 😁
That’s the spirit
But we use a 8.1L Silverado for road trips 😁 plenty of space to store out stuff
@@normangaither9917 yea I don't think many people would actually daily this, however it does have some elements that make it much more practical than other sports cars
Yeah I’d have one in the garage for what I said but I would also have a Silverado because welp trucks are more roomy and you still got a V8
Arizona no snow lol 😆
lucky you guys
Just put some snow tires on it and it will drive in the snow like any other car, this con makes no sense (I live in Canada btw)
Love the video! If we can be of service you LED upgrade on your Corvette, please check out out www.VetteLeds.com
We have a Shelby GTS 2013. Just goy 2012 C6. C6 far better ride no comparison
You keep repeating yourself, you should stop that!
Man this is some horrible content
Thank you so much!
