You could say I am an more familiar with vettes than any dealer and now everything from A to Z. My new C6 is a power monster & after break-in just literally ate up my friends 04 Z06 in a 0-100 & 0-60 time trial. I cant wait to see what the C6 - Z06 version will do. If you owm a C5 pawn it or trade it in before it goes down in value, this is the one you want.
Absolutely fun to drive!

This is my first Corvette and I am having a blast. It is fast, fun and an eye catcher. I can't tell you how many people have yelled out their window, "Nice Car!" I was even stopped by a cop (lights and everything) just to say he was envious and has always wanted one. After all, the car has great power and an awesome look. This is my first Corvette and it will not be my last. I LOVE IT!

I drove the car from California to Florida with absolutely no problems. I got 25 miles per gallon (per the trip computer). I have to say it is the most comfortable car I have ever driven (I have a bad back). I want the Z06 now!

The car has completely floored me. I love this car to death. I have owned alot of vehicles and I have never fallen in love with a car untill this one. Although I have made a few minor adjustments, this is by far the king of the consumer road. There isn't another car under $100,000.00 that can touch it. Also, for being a 6.0L V8 monster, the MPG is unusually good. Buy one today (just not in Le Mans blue like mine :D)!

The C6 for someone who has never owned a performance car is a rush. It's a pleasure to drive ( mine is a 6 speed) I purchased the ISB package and Z51 suspension. It's grey with a sport grey int.

This is the most awesome car I have ever owned. It gives a whole new meaning to the word driving. Everyday is a new driving expierence. The coating on the outside makes it easy to give it a just waxed look. I'm glad I didn't wait on the 2006 model. I have looked at them side by side and I like mine better. The new ones look too much like a Viper. Part of what makes a Vette unique is the hidden headlights. I have a hearing disability but I love the sound of the pipes going through the gears. I have a seven year old daughter who loves to get into "Our racecar". People at stop lights roll down their windows to give me thumbs up. Women notice me more for sure. I just love my Vette!

This car will have you on the road at 3:00 in the morning. It calls to you from the driveway. This car handles like it's on rails!! The 0 to 60 times are nothing short of wicked. The car is sexy and turns heads so fast it causes whiplash!!.

The Vette does more than what I expected. The speed, handling and looks are out of this world. I was very happy with the acceleration and steering response. I have all my friends trying to buy one now.

I have had mine for 1 1/2 months now. Nothing can describe it. It's awesome, no wonder this car has been a legend for 52 years. It's half the price of any car that can compete with it. I think Chevy priced it way too low for what you get for what you pay.

The best Corvette yet....I previously owned a 1987 and was sad when I had to turn it in on my new 2005. The sadness soon disappeared when I set foot on that accelerator pedal and took to the road... a sports car with all the new electronic features along with the handling and performance which has always been Corvette's trademark. We are a team...heads turn when we drive along that road of dreams.

This car in Precision Red is just stunning to look at and thrilling to drive. It has 2 distinct personalities...take it easy and it cruises like a Caddy but step down and it sounds and feels like a Tornado! Nosebleed fast with flat stable handling and with the MSRC suspension the ride quality is excellent. Huge trunk with the top in place makes this a great trip car for 2. Incredible performance value that you can live with, drive every day, get 20MPG and out handle 911s and Ferraris, pack 2 suitcases and golfclubs all for 50K. Don't buy it though if you want European sewing machine type power ...this is American all the way! Vrooom...snarl...VROOMM...blub blub blub.

This car is such an improvement over previous years that there is really no comparison. Every aspect has been redesigned and the total package exceeded my expectations. There is superior power, but it is completly under control with the supension and brakes being excellent. My only negative comment is that the seats could be more comfortable. They're fine for a couple hours, but leave something to be desired on long distance trips.The Z-51 package just glues the car to the road and gives the feel of a much heavier vehicle.The Corvette is unbeatable for the price.They got this one right. It's the best Vette yet!

The car's drivability is great!! Fuel economy could be a misperception (it's a performance car). The run flat tires are acceptable. I have 10k on them and they still ride fine. Overall, the quality of the car has improved drastically over the previous model.

The performance and ride quality of this car is impressive. More interior refinement would be nice. With the top down this car is hard to beat. Docile and easy to relax in, but ready to pounce with a push of the pedal. The Z51 option does not make the ride too harsh, but this is a sports car, not a limo. Only complaint is break squeal, a common problem with the Z51 cross drilled rotors. Can't be beat for the money - and resale will be high.

I've had 85,87,95,97, & 99 Corvette's, they all been great, but this takes it to a completely new level. This is the greatest car I have ever owned. For the price, there is now better car made. I would give it the highest marks on everything.

Incredible power, which is to be expected from this car, but also great ride and comfort features. The handling makes you feel extremely confident as it feel like it is being force down to the road even as it is getting close to it's 186 MPH top speed and always seems to have lots power available at any speed. I am so glad I have had the abilty to take it out on the autobahn.

I have driven many exotics in my day..Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini,etc. Ordered the car in March based solely on the early pictures and reviews. Was I ever surprised! Unbelievable power, head turning looks, nice ride from the new Goodyear EMT's. My car is an early one (#1995) and the build quality is every bit as good as others costing many thousand more. Z51 and six speed manual is the way to go. If this isn't the automotive buy of a lifetime, I don't know what is. Thank you Chevrolet, it really is an American Revolution.

I own two C5's and one C6. The 6 is far and away superior to my 2000 and 2003 C5s in every category. All magazine reviews are absolutely correct regarding comfort, quietness, and quickness. An absolute pleasure to drive.

The ride is firm but smooth. The body styling is superb, with no wind noise at any speed. The drive train is quite smooth and very responsive. The styling is the best yet for Corvette.

I traded in my 1998 Corvette for this new and much improved 2005 Vette. It drives like a dream. We took it on a 200 mile trip thru the curvy mountain roads of East Tennesse and Western North Carolina the day after we bought it. The handling was great. The new style was a real attention getter. The motorcycles would actually pull over to let us pass because they couldn't keep up. We Love our new Corvette.

As a previous Corvette owner, they only get better with each generation. The level of power, handling, and sophistication in this car beats all other generation Corvettes hands down and will run circles around just about everything else on the road up to twice (or more) the price!

Having driven a C5 Corvette for over seven years, I was anxious to see if my new C6 could expand the tremendous qualities of the C5. It does in every aspect. The acceleration and handling are a huge step up (especially with the Z51 package), it is explosive. The exterior design is a nice improvement, especially the front end, and the interior is very well done. My car is a Daytona Sunset Orange color, and draws thumbs-up from all ages everywhere I go. Truly a world class peformer with comfort and everyday driving capacities. When comparing the car to the Porsche, Viper, and even Ferrari, it is truly a steal at $54,000.

I was trying to choose between the Porsche 911, the Boxster S or the C6 Corvette. They are all great cars, but I just fell in love with that from dead stop to fast performance. The car handles great with the Z51 option.

I am now on my 16th Corvette. The 2005 is a huge difference from my 2002. The thing I like the most is the much more refined interior. The car is much quieter than the last Corvette model. The touch screen navagation is awsome. It also displays the navagation in the heads up display if so desired. The XM radio is great to have also. I have been getting many compliments on the new body style also. I love the new headlights also. Last year when Corvette loyalist found out that Chevrolet was doing away with the pop up headlights in favor of more aerodynamic HID lighting everyone was not happy with that. Corvettes have had pop up headlights since 1963. The proformance is awsome also! 400 HP!

I had lusted for this car ever since I was a kid and now it's mine. Somebody pinch me! My honey got me this for X- mas last year and it still makes me smile on a daily (at minimum!) basis. And he likes it even more than he ever thought he would. The boys (big and small) love it, but so do the girls! Many thumbs up and "nice car!" comments and at the same time envious stares from the other "moms" that are driving mini-vans and SUVs. If I'm gonna burn the gas, I'll be in a 'Vette! Timing was everything; I'm so glad I waited for the C-6. When asked about my car - and I'm asked ALL the time- I say with a smile "still liking it!" Love, love, love!!!!

I bought this 2005 Vett 1st week of October being early and RED. I had just sold my 1999 600 SL which gave its new buyer the thrill I had had. But this 2005 corvet is a monster. I pushed its way up the meter at 9.9 in the quarter. Impossible you say? Ha Hahaa well get whatever you are driving up next to me. ...we will see who is laughing ....i never look Back!

I had bought 1976 Vette when I had graduated from college and had the car until kids came along. Now the kids are out of college and a 2005 Vette is back in my life. This car is fantastic. The performance and handling is phenominal. I took it to Pocono Raceway for a track day and this car blew me away. I will always have a Vette in my garage

I love the exterior styling and after a year the car still gets loads of positive comments at the gas station etc. I have done four track schools in the car and have been generally disappointed with the performance. The automatic transmission will shift at inopportune times and even with the traction control set in the "Performance" mode the car feels rather unbalanced when going through a off camber down hill which causes the tranny to hunt for a gear. The Z51 suspension along with the run flat tires gives a very harsh freeway ride which becomes punishing after about two hours on the road. The transmission puts out loads of heat and the center console can toast your right leg.

The new 2005 Corvette is an unbelievable sports car in terms of performance and beauty. After checking out its 2005 German nemesis, I found the Corvette to be more powerful, more advanced in both interior and exterior design, and more fun to drive. Maintenance is minimal. Make no mistake, the 2005 Corvette is a premium sports car. In addition, the Corvette is designed to provide ample seating room for both driver and passenger. Luggage room is great for cross-country trips. If you decide to buy one, be prepared to watch other people bend their necks and put up their thumbs as you pass-by. You will look for excuses to drive your new Corvette.
The best one yet.

The car is now 18 months old and the performance is better than ever. I drive long distances and the car is wonderfully comfortable. I can drive 800 miles a day and still feel relaxed at the end of the day. This is my 4th Corvette and it is clearly the best one ever. For the price, it has no equal.

Being a long time lover of all things Corvette, I was delighted to drive away with my 2005 model. The new look, 2 thumbs up! The options, bought them all! Love the glass hardtop! What more could you want in a sports car? 0- 60 in 4.1 seconds? Wanna race?

My husband has had 6 corvettes in his lifetime, but this is my first . . . and I love it. From absolute stunning beauty to high performance and exceptional high technology, this car is everything I ever wanted. I chose a Metallic Red Coupe, and I assure you heads turn everywhere I go. People stop in their tracks to stare. I can't get through a stoplight without someone rolling down their window to tell me how beautiful my car is. Thanks, Chevrolet, for the car of my dreams!

This is my first Vette and I love it. Everyone turns and looks when you go by (magnetic red rocks) and gives you the thumbs up. I love the car but only get to use it on the weekends. My only complaint is the wind noise when the roof panel is off and everything in back blows all over. You can hardly hear the radio unless you crank it up. I'm looking forward to my first road trip to the mountains in 2 months.
