      Ya I'm 65 and I have no problem with the top. I have both tops and the glass one is definitely lighter but no issues. It's your technique that is wrong. I have a 11' GS and go topless a lot, one of the reasons I didn't get a ZO6.

    Good job on the semi-walk around Bro. One of the best on the C6's I have seen. I have an '09 with active exhaust a feature you didn't cover but you may not have it on yours. I took the fuse out that opens and closes it and my exhaust is always open just a tip for guys who have not bought one yet. Sounds great at idle also and saved lots of money on having to buy a performance exhaust and it gains 8 Horsepower also at all RPMs!

    I'm 77 years old, my Targa top is easy to remove replace. You are doing it all wrong. Hold by front and back edge, stand on side of car, (windows down) engage one rear side, then other rear, front drops in place. Reverse to remove; lift front, slide one side slightly forward to dis-engage 1 rear pin, then the other.. Back edge pins are long enough to connect/dis-connect one at a time.

      Take some time and read the complete manual you will be surprised of some of the information in it there is a key in the fob that you insert into a lock above the license plate and once you open the trunk there is a lever that you pull and the driver side door will open and if you are in the vehicle and the door will not open there is a lever on the left side of the drivers seat that when pulled will open the door also if the fob battery goes dead there is a port in the glove compartment that you plug the fob into and it will give the fob enough power to start the car

    A note on the 1-4 lockout, it is only active if the car is warmed up (coolant temp 167F, but the oil will probably still be a little too cold to romp on it), 20% throttle or less and 15-19mph. In normal driving it is never an issue for me, If you wind out first to 2200rpm or so you will never encounter it.

    While I have never removed a targa top from a corvette, I cannot imagine it is all that hard. We have a Mazda Miata with the optional factory hardtop and I am able to remove it and reinstall it by myself without difficulty. And that is a FULL hardtop complete with a glass rear window. And I am in my 60's (though truth be told, I was still in my 50's the last time I removed the top).

    Skip shift (1-4th gear) is not stupid at all and wasn’t added just to give owners some fuel economy.
    It was added to put the car just under the threshold to avoid the gas guzzler tax that was around $8k if I remember correctly. I would much rather have the small inconvenience to disable it vs paying that money.

    • @Spirited_Driver
      @Spirited_Driver Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes it does. I do it every spring start after the car has been sitting for months. It will litterally just crank and build oil PSI until you let off the gas. I think every EFI engine does this, it shuts off the fuel system by holding the gas to the floor.

    All due respect, but some of the advice is a bit ... off. 1) Not all Vettes have the assisted closing for the rear hatch. 2) Balancing a $2K targa panel over your head is risky. Get a solid grip on its edges. I'm a mid-50s Xer, and I don't really have any trouble with it ... Great advice for remembering to latch the targa. Good demo on getting in the car with a dead battery. An lifting pucks are a MUST!

I never smelled any exhaust like a warning Im 70 and lucky that my walker is inflatable. so I can just let the air out of it when some kind youngster helps me into the driver seat.

    Im getting ready to buy a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette is say the next few months when you suit it up what's the max hp/rpm it can take stock v8 ?

      If you get a 2008 and newer then you get the benefit of the LS3 which has the same design heads as the Z06 with more mod HP potential. Bone stock LS3 with headers and electric water pump and tune puts out 500hp to the crank on a engine dyno (not 430). Stock rev limiter on mine is right around 6300 RPM. MAX hp on a stock LS2 or LS3 would be a google search, but its likely around the 800hp area for the engine itself..

    There is a 3rd "secret mode" beyond Competitive Driving Mode. All modes are in the manual.

    I am disabled and I have no problem with the glass off of my 1994 Corvette glass top which was very heavy because it was a see-through tinted glass top not the lightweight one that you have lol PS my 125 pound wife who bought me that car for my birthday had no problem with the top. I’m not by herself either lol.😊

    How is the maintenance on these? I'm considering a C6 or C7, but curious about what you can do on your own vs when you have to use a mechanic. It can get pricey I imagine.

      @@eekay3646 I do own a modified C6, have a buddy that owns a stock C7. You can’t go wrong with either, they’re wonderful cars to drive and own. All the basic maintenance like spark plugs, oil, brakes and fluid changes is easily done on your own. If you have torque tube problems that’s where things can get expensive and would require a shop, what year and how many miles is the C7 you’re looking at?

    Its easy to remove the targa top but i can see it being a bit awkward for shorter people because less leverage to reach... Plus, who carries shit above thier head in north america LMAO! But in all fairness, theres good tips in this video, and ill give a thumbs up. Also, not sure if its true, but I didn't think all C6's had launch control, i cant wait to see if it works on mine!
