Corvettes are cool and I don't care what you Eurofags say.
>>14854927
Of course, why else would you make a thread like this?
c7 is not that cool but c6z is cool
>cool
they are know for being really hot
like literally hot
good for you i respect your gall
the c7 is still fuck ugly tho....
>>14854943
Sorta agree on this, they had those round tail lights for years, and now we have this "Euro styling" bullshit they're pulling off.

the c6 has one of the best asses ever made
they fucking ruined it with the c7
I only respect the performance models. By that, I mean the Z06 and the ZR1.
The vast majority of Corvettes on the road are driven by boomers equipped with an automatic.

You are kinda begging for shitposting with this. might as well have walked in and thrown some meat into a lion's den while yelling "you lions are fags"
I don't necessarily disagree nor am i implying you aren't being sincere but its kinda true.

>>14854984
Of course. most people who like things like skylines, Supras, and 911s. only respect the top trims and not the (GTT skylines or whatever the lower trims are) (automatic convertible 911s) (naturally aspirated supra's etc)

base c6 is slower than a civic around the nurburgring
>>14854994
>implying boomers actually drive fast
There's a reason why the Corvette is the epitome of the mid-life crisis car. Every time I see a C7 (or the C6 when it was new), it's either driven by some rich foreign kid, or some boomer. At least with the Z06, you know that guy didn't just buy it it because he wanted a regular sports car. No, he wanted something actually fast.
I'd much rather buy a snek then a vette, given the money.
>>14855016
Civic Type Rs don't make up most of average performance cars on the road so that's fine.
>>14855033
The C7 definitely took some inspiration from the Viper when it comes to the front end.
>>14855033
>paying z06 tax
>falling for the ls7 meme
the GS is objectively the best c6, its a z06 with a more reliable engine
and a steel frame over an aluminium one, but you wont notice the difference
>>14855033
>he wanted something actually fast
World's quickest kettle!
>>14855065
>its a z06 with a more reliable engine
I assume you are talking about the LS7s valve dropping issues it had in early C6 Z06 models? didn't they fix that in 2009 or later in Z06 models in general? (granted i know even with the issues fixed the LS3 is still more reliable/durable which is why i think even to this day its still being used in dunnydoors)
>>14855078
they fixed it starting february 2009 iirc
>>14855065
if I ever buy a C6Z I will probably keep it forever and not drive it often. should hold its value much better than a GS

>>14855101
Did they release some kind of statement saying so or what happened exactly? (i-e how do people know this) another guy told me they fixed it around that time as well.
They used the LS7 in the Camaro Z28 and i know they wouldn't have done that if the engine was still plagued with problems.
>>14855129
one of their head suppliers just didn't measure correctly or something. it only affected a small percentage of the engines but the effects are obviously catastrophic if left unchecked if the head is one of the incorrect ones.

Feb '11 according to this copypaste on a corvette forum.
LS7 Valve guide issue summary:
• Affects a small, number of '08, 09 ’10 and ’11 Z06’s
• GM discovered the condition through our cylinder head warranty data involving a very small percentage of our vehicles.
• Through inspection of returned heads, it was determined that a machining error in the valve guide had occurred at our head supplier.
• The quality issue has been contained as of Feb 2011 with 100% inspection of all heads.
• The most common customer complaint has been excessive valve train noise.
However if the condition is not addressed, it could result in engine failure. To date, where this condition has been observed, it has occurred early in the vehicle life.
What customers need to know: They should drive and enjoy their vehicles without fear. If their car demonstrates this condition, they are likely to hear unusual valvetrain noise first. If you have a concern regarding this issue on your personal vehicle feel free to contact me through private message on this forum and we will work to assist in resolving your concern. Feel free to contact me through [email protected] please put attention Evan in the subject. As always, vehicles that have modifications to the powertrain or the calibrations, are no longer covered by GM's warranty.
Sincerely,
Evan, Chevrolet Customer Service

I don't see why lap times at the burger King ring matter for a street car. On a track, the vast majority of the population don't have the ability to push a base vette to the limits anyways, much less a higher spec model. You can't possibly tell me that all of the z06 drivers are also formula 1 drivers just because they decided to buy a higher end model.
>>14855033
So a base vette is a turd, but a Z06 is actually fast? Apparently you haven't driven either. At least with the c6, the difference really isn't that huge, and it doesn't really take much to get an ls3 to ls7 power numbers with mods.
Problem with the viper is that since they were more limited, the prices tend to be higher for the same performance. C6s are dipping well into the 20s now, and there is a ton of aftermarket to upgrade any 'deficiencies' you may think the car has. Not that you're really going to be using it to its full potential anyways...
>>14854956
im so sick of seeing long led strip type headlights or tail lights
I WANT MUH CIRCLES
>>14855104
IMO, that's retarded. If you're collecting cars and not driving them because you're worried about value, regular production vettes aren't really a great market to invest in. Maybe a 427 convertible, a zr1 or something, but they made a lot of z06s so unless you plan to never drive it and hold onto it forever, you're not really going to make any notable money on t.
>>14855065
Ditto here, wish I would've got a GS instead of a z51. The widebody alone is worth it for the wide tires.
>>14855126
>he's still made the 911 cant compete
>>14854927
The new ones these last few years have been bad ass. Since top gear did that 3 car run across merica in red freedom cars I have wanted one. I used to think they were fag mobiles but these days they remind me of ferarrarionos meatball Italianos.
>>14855865
I wouldn't be buying it to make a profit. Holding its value better would just be a nice bonus to having the car I actually want. Either way I'd have a GS sitting in a garage or a Z06 sitting in a garage. I'd much rather have the Z06. I wouldn't be putting many miles on either one.
>>14854927
Drove a C6 Corvette auto and manual. Definitely want to get a 'Vette after college. I'd even settle for a C4 because of the A E S T H E T I C S desu.
>>14854927
Naturally aspirated engine?
fucking why?
>>14856071
Great, another garage queen...
If you're not going to drive it anyways, why not just save yourself the trouble and buy a model car instead.
I get not driving some crazy million dollar exotic everyday, but not driving something as common as a corvette is dumb. Maybe I'm biased from DD'ing a c6, but they're just not that special to not enjoy it as possible.

>If you're not going to drive it anyways, why not just save yourself the trouble and buy a model car instead.
because I am going to drive it.
>DD'ing a c6
I don't see the point in DDing any corvette.
>>14856144
Not everyone wants to commute in a shit box everyday. I only need space for 1 or 2 people, and it has plenty of cargo space if you need to pick up groceries on the way home or something. Also gets 30 mpg highway for anyone that cares about that kind of thing.
>>14856144
Conversely, I don't see why you wouldnt put a lot of miles on it and would just let it sit in your garage. It's not a 1 of 5 Pagani, it's a common, mass produced Chevy. Given a few generations, the value is going to go to crap anyways (see current c4 and c5 prices), so you may as well drive it and enjoy it as much as you can.
>>14856515
oh that's pretty good. the Z06 gets less than 20 according to fuelly though. the Z06 would also be a much worse daily driver with its harder suspension.
>>14856628
I'm not trying to preserve its value. If I had an infinite supply of free C6Zs I would still not daily drive it. My point is, considering I would not have an infinite supply and am not interested in daily driving a corvette, why would I buy a Grand Sport over a Z06 when they are going to sit in the garage 99% of the time either way?
>>14856628
And also, I don't even believe in "preserving" something like a 1 in 5 Pagani. If you truly think daily driving that Pagani is the best decision you can make for your life and you can afford it, then you should drive it. You have me completely misunderstood.
Why not C3?

Callaway did C6 interiors in any colour combination you wanted it seems.
>pic related is what id have my C6 interior look like
>>14857648
I hope you got flames on them doors son. could use some more skulls too
>>14857660
interesting but I really don't think the interior is worth putting any effort into fixing. I don't think it's bad and I don't think it's good. It's just... nothing. I like open aspect of it better than the C5/C7 cockpit style though.
>>14857696
on second thought the C5 is pretty open too. I was thinking of the late C4 interior. This cockpit style is cool too but it's just a bit much.
Corvette as first manual car
[Y/N]
>>14857709
shouldn't make too much of a difference what your first manual car is. corvette should be good and torquey which is always nice but you will not know the pleasure of redlining through 4 gears in a shitbox and still only going like 80 mph.
>>14854956
Don't blame us for your ugly ass cars
>>14857696
>I don't think it's bad and I don't think it's good. It's just... nothing
I Agree if i had a ZR1 the last thing id do is complain about the plastic bits here and there (although i think even ZR1s had at least leather dash) People who buy STIs EVOs and even Supras of the time didn't care about interior material and just wanted a nice cheap performance car.
>>14857702
I actually really like late model C4 interiors they were pretty driver focused. something we didn't see again until the C7.
>pic not necessarily related
I fucking love what Callaway did to the exterior of the C6s.
>>14857733
Alright, Corvette it is then. I can't wait to stalls it in front of other people
>>14857803
Big V8 with massive torque means it's actually really hard to stall.
Easy as fuck to learn on, but you risk getting used to that amount of torque and stalling anything that doesn't have a big V8 after that.
>>14854936
Agreed. Dont know why every chevy's ass has to be a slowmaro now

>Hans, do you ever think we will be of better car than corvette?
