2006 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)
Review
Hey guys, simply an amazing car. Has power that I promise you will fling you into your seat when you hit the gas. My buddy who has an SL65 AMG said it handles just as well as his car. I have a broken back at age 24, but the seats are SO comfortable, gauges easy to read, heated seats are A NICE feature. Quite simply a car that can be used as an everyday car, or keep it as a garage queen. This car will turns heads, give you the performance, and comfort of a nice sports sedan. Quite simply, one of the finest autos i have ever driven. You certainly will not be dissapointed with this car!
Favorite Features
Seeing as I have a broken back, the seats are very important to me. With the lumbar and heated seats, it helps tremendously! I love the heads up display, the targa top is so easy to remove, very light! The paddle shifters are pretty cool as well. EVERYTHING about this car is flawless. Drive one!!
Suggested Improvements
Absolutely nothing!
I am very happy with this car

Review
This is a super car at a super cheap value. Best bang for your buck by far. Spanks anything just about on the road and draws a lot of attention. Where ever you go you will be noticed and complimented.
Favorite Features
Everything, mainly the engine and handling.
Suggested Improvements
Sqeaky brakes. Very annoying, and sometiimes humiliating. Needs much more improvment. The exhuasts are not nearly as loud as they should be

Review
This car is amazing! I drove my Dad's 04 which was auto. It was nice but nothing like this baby. Very fast with 6spd, looks great, turns heads everywhere, and goes FAST!!! Do not settle for less. If this has been your dream car, this is the one to buy! right now!
Favorite Features
XM radio, navigation system, 6spd, sunset orange color!
Suggested Improvements
Navigation system not as good as my Honda Accord's. Kind of flimsy. The climate control looks really cheap. Gas not too great. Only 16mpg(04 got 20mpg) but it's a Corvette so who cares.
Fun Car

2006 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (6.0L 8cyl 6M)
Review
This car is absolutely worth every penny. The steering is much better than the 2005 model, and the power is exhilerating. The interior does seem a bit cheap but it is still comfortable. Surprisingly the highway mileage is actually pretty good, assuming that you do not hot dog around.
Favorite Features
I like the steering the best. Strange as it seems, the handling of the '05 model reminded me of a truck. Chevrolet compensated for this in the 06 model by placing a smaller steering wheel (among other things under the hood) to improve this.
Suggested Improvements
None at this time. It is the ultimate car in my estimation

Review
My car is a Black 2006 Z06. I drove the car off the showroom in Long Beach Ca to Modesto CA. 300 miles of fun. A very cool car. Looks great and other people always looking at it. It drives like a race car. Very powerful. The car will take off. Very comfortable interior and the touch screen navigation/stereo is very fun

Review
This car pulls no punches and I love it! The steering wheel is too close to the driver's head and is sure to send many to the hospital when the airbag deploys.
Favorite Features
Everything is torquey and sexy. This car oozes you know what appeal
Suggested Improvements
More choice in colors, but with the exception of Volkswagen beetles and Porsche of all things, nobody seems to offer much color choice anymore.
What an awesome machine

Review
Your writers are correct!! The C6 ranks right up there with some of the finest sports cars made. I have driven 2500 miles. It has been 2500 miles of quiet,tight,comfort and responsive miles I have ever driven. It's fun to drive,great to look at and 17 miles to a gallon in stop and go traffic isn't bad either. Other drivers give this car alot of respect in traffic by making room for me. Forget the power roof for $2,000.00, manual is just as quick.
Favorite Features

Z06, a race car for the street.

2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Hatchback (7.0L 8cyl 6M)
Review
427 cubic inches with 505 horsepower and 475 ft. lbs. of torque in a 3100 lb package. The car is absolutely awesome in acceleration, braking, handling. I have owned 6 Corvettes in the past. This is by far the baddest production Corvette produced so far. The torque of the engine is seamless from idle to it;s 7,000 rpm redline.This vehicle's performance is spectacular. It is almost unbelievable this car is so docile and easy in bumper to bumper traffic as it is right at home on the race track doing 150mph plus. The 6 piston calipers up front with 14" rotors and the 4 piston calipers with 13.5" rotors making stopping unbelievable. On the race track there is absolutely no fad.
Favorite Features
The torque of the engine. When the revs hit 3500rpm and up, the accerleration goes into hyperspeed. Top speed is claimed at 198mph. 0-60mph is 3.5seconds, all done in first gear!!
Suggested Improvements
I have some horsepower modifications planned in the future to get around 600 horsepower. It will be a daily driver and weekend racers with a full factory warranty.
Bad machine

This is my fifth Vette, 61,66,78,96 & 06 and this is the best overall. Speed, performance, looks, and good ole American muscle. Compared to foreign cars this one is a steal and a head turner. Congrats to gm and more importantly the corvette division. Great job, keep em coming and make the Vette live on, for ever and ever.
