2006 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is the best car for the money. As fast as cars costing twice as much. You always get a thumb up when driving. I have enjoyed it but want a ZR1 now. You will truely love this car if you drive it.

This is a great looking, fun and fast driving roadster! Plenty of horsepower, yet great economy-27 mpg! Triple black with all of the options that make it very comfortable for cross country or daily driving. It is an eye-catcher!

Pros: SUPER FAST! 400hp, 400 lb-ft torque. Appearance. color. comfortable as a daily driver. engine sound (after my Corsa Sport catback exhaust). heated leather seats. Pop up display! Con: pretty common (where I live at least). A/C not as good as can be.

It is an evil car. You step on the gas and you are gone! It is a real street legal race car, with all the necessary gadgets to make you feel in a luxury car: CD player, navigation system, heated seats, a lot more. Wherever you go people get excited for it, so watch out! It si pricey if you can't afford the monthly and insurance cost (average both $1k). If you appreciate a nice sport american legend, you won't care. So what you do? You buy a "beater" for less than $4k to use on a daily basis!

The sleek looks, the quality that is evident when driving the Corvette and the thrill attached to it is wonderful. This car surpasses in most respects the suypposedly higher end and coslier by two or three times sports cars available in today's market.

great acceleration. removable hard top. Feels like 100mph at 70 with top off. Great fuel economy too!

People will criticize the interior of the Corvette but if you compare to a Porsche without a large leather package and over $10,000 worth of options I would say it's pretty comparable. That aside, the acceleration in this car is the fastest I have experienced. The transmission is a little clunky during around-town driving, but when you rev it past 3,000 rpm's and dump the clutch it's smooth and deliberate. The exhaust note is a nice combination of American muscle growl with a hint of European mechanical wine from the engine. The later-G gauge is fun to play with on back roads to see how many your pulling. Overall just a wonderful sports car that can run with the best from Europe at half the price.

It is the ultimate classic gt touring car. The rattles and questionable material choices of earlier Corvettes are gone. The engine and transmission are refined and plenty powerful. Styling is simple and tasteful unlike the later generations speed racer touches and F15 air intakes. I have a similar period Mustang GT and the Mustang has a prettier instrument panel but otherwise uses brute force to get it done. Both are great.

If you’re looking for a great sports car at a minimal price point, look at the C6 Corvette. Excellent acceleration, superb handling, and amazing good looks. The 6.0 LS v8 has more than enough power even 15 years later. Get yourself a bright color and be the star of the roadways.

A joy to look at, a blast to drive, and reasonably priced. 6-speed manual transmission only adds to the exhilaration. Previous owner took exceptional care of the vehicle and added some great aftermarket equipment. Both thumbs up!!

Works like it should. You don't buy a Corvette to be a family car, you buy it to have fun and enjoy the thrill of driving and meeting others who own Corvettes. I like the way it looks, feels and handles. I was most surprised at the fuel economy it gets on the open road.

I like the looks. Just the right size. Gets good gas mileage for a 400 HP car. It is very comfortable on a long cruise with fully adjustable seats on both driver and passenger side. Has nice storage space in the trunk. My wife and I easily carry enough gear for a three or four day road trip.

Love the car. It handles great and is fun to drive.

I love this car. Every time I am in the market for another sports car (which is every time I wreck the previous one), I cross shop those at the same performance level and those at the same price point....and twice now, I've ended up at the Corvette. At the same price point, the BMW M Coupe and Porsche Cayman S are very, VERY compelling...but ultimatley fall short. So do lower priced sports cars, such as the Mazda RX8 and the Nissan 350Z. At the same performance level, the Corvette is priced 1/3rd less and still matches or outperforms it's competitors from Porsche, BMW, et al. Plus, its gorgeous. What's not to love?

I miss this car dearly, and I am definitely looking for another one. The raw power and handling is unequaled as compared to other sports cars I have driven, and for the price, it is a huge bargain when you factor in the capabilities.

Most fantastic car to ever be designed in Detroit. This car out runs, out handles, and out brakes more expensive rivals out of Stuttgart and Milan. It is the car to which all other sport cars are compared. An American legend since 1953. Try one and see what all the hype is about!

This is my fastest ride to date and given the way oil prices are going it may be the last of its kind. It has more power and torque than I know what to do with, can corner like its on rails, and a liberal application of the right pedal makes all but the baddest cars on the road become distant blips in the mirror. The car looks great and drives great, I only wish I could learn to harness the full potential of all those ponies.

Basic ZO-6 was based on C6-R race car, winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans. Stock version has 512 horse power (505 american horses). By changing of whole exhaust system, intake system and some electronic mods I managed to get 600 break horse power. This is a race car on the road... Dry sump, engine and gear-box are separated, G-force indicator, radiator for gear-box and rear axle. etc. You can drive a Ferrari or Lambo for 3 hours may be, but then you will have to stop to cool the brakes down, gear-box, etc. This one, you can drive 24 hours. May be it is not that nice like a Ferrari Enzo or Lamborghini Superlegera but the performance is dramatic !!!

Love this car! Well made and great feel! Not really a primary vehicle though.

This car exceeds 99% drivers abilities, its handling is way above what most people can extract from it, the brakes match the acceleration abilities and most astonishing is the milage. On road trips with a average speed of 75mph you get 26+ mpg The seats are ok but could be better. The car exceeds most of my expectations in terms of performance.

Car is very fun to drive with the top on or off. It is a 6 speed manual and I just love the acceleration. It handles just great. Build quality is good no repairs so far and no squeaks or rattles. Car gets great mileage on the highway and probably doesn't do to bad in the city if driven easy.

i love this car! this car has the perfect balance of performance and luxury. plus the Galloway intake n exhaust sounds great, also the O.Z wheels really attract the eye. i would recommend this car as a daily driver.

I like the way the car handles and looks, the convertible is sweet and good for scenic drives i love taking it to car shows and winning , and everyone asking questions the 6sp is nice and the 3lt package which means its optioned out . you always get a thumbs up when driving !

Excellent car... best vette to date in my opinion. Real tight, quick & nimble. Great on gas too... when not on the throttle. B&B exhaust are quite loud, but do they ever sound good car is lowered White is turning out to be easy to wash... compared to black! cheers

0-60 in 5.4 seconds, 4.2 if you whomp the gas. 6-cylinder, 5 speed manual transmission. Black convertible top, nice wheel base, low to the ground aerodynamic, and fast

This car is a blast and with a sticker price of around 50,000 for a good base model few cars can compete.

Not a Z06 thats why only 3 stars otherwise great cars

Great response . Ride is very smooth for a Vette.

I have been a Corvette for over 35 years. I've owned most all of the different body styles. This is my first C6 Corvette I This stock C6 is much faster than any of my previous Corvettes. The paddle shifter is an awesome option..

Uh, its pretty derned Sexy. Just got some new seat covers and all that jazz. Haven't really done all that much to it, but hey its still an absolute barrel of monkeys to drive. I guess thats all I have to say.

I understand that this is the most powerful Corvette yet, but it still lacks what the European companies have... Quality of product. The Corvette is lacking the grunt that a Lamborghini Gallardo, or an Audi R8 has. The quality reflects in the price as well. The R8 and the Gallardo are built by hand and to last. I've seen videos of the Corvette's roof coming off on the highway. Another reason why the Corvette will never come close to what a REAL car is worth. GM is always cutting corners to save a buck, and it shows.

I am just not a fan of this style coup. Older coups do catch my eye but I do not like a sports car to have, what to me, is a hatch back. it’s just not for me.

Just needs the LS3 to be almost perfect IMO !

incredible accelerarion from the 7 litre engine in the zo6.different from the 5litre corvettes from previous years. accelerates to 1oo km/h in first gear.by third gear i will be doind 200 km/h.this is a stock zo6.Has potencial to beat and out shine ferraris & other super cars. However amazing it may be ,it only works on a track.it gets all twitchy on the road. the steerings heavy,ridicuous plastic interior,heavy clutch,terrible in rainy wheather.
