2011 Coupe Auto Trans

2011 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)

GM claims top speed of 190 MPH for Coupe. GM warranties drive train for 5 years or 100K miles. Perfect fitting of body. Rides like a Cadillac with soft ride syspension (which I have) or select a ride syspension which is more expensive. 3LT trim is great with head up display, better interior trim and push button retractable seats and steering wheel.

A true GT Sports Car!

Ray Davidson, 06/20/2010
2010 Chevrolet Corvette GS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful

One of the best sports cars I've owned. This is a true GT sports car. It has great performance and engineering, handle with any exotic, very good gas mileage, and yet you can daily commute with a smile on your face with each drive. GM has done a great job with the reliability of the Corvette. Become a student of Corvette history; it is an American world class icon in automotive and racing history. A Corvette is not a car for everyone; with this much power and handling comes "responsibility". With that said, those who have the wallet, and driving maturity to own a car like the Corvette will experience extreme driving pleasure. Always wave to other Corvette owners you're in a great club.

Large, powerful, heavy GT car

2011 Chevrolet Corvette GS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
4 of 10 people found this review helpful

My car was a 3LT GS with automatic transmission and every option except navigation. It was a pleasant car to drive, but not very exciting. It was so powerful that its acceleration capability was essentially useless in an urban environment - it would have been better suited to a place with wide open roads. Although it was pleasant to drive, its bulk inhibited the fun factor. It well illustrated the maxim that a slow car driven at 9/10ths is more fun than a fast one driven at 6/10ths. More of a GT car than a sports car. As has been said in many places, the seats were quite poor. I had to have the lumbar bag replaced in the driver's seat. after which it was better, but still not good. The main irritation was the front splitter, which was very vulnerable to damage while parking. I would advise against the GS in favor of a base car because of that splitter.

Beast and going strong after 12 years

2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl S/C 6M)

prepare to open your checkbook and keep it close at hand. We bought this car in 2011. It is the stylish beauty of the beast of super sports. We LOVE it. It is a great deal of fun to drive and ride in-particularly on the open roads where you can open it up. If you buy a ZR1 you will find true happiness. we have now had this monster for 12 years. It has brought bliss and happiness and if you have the need for speed then this is the vehicle of your dreams. Whenever we drive it the car looks and drives as it did on day 1. Take care of this automobile and you will never regret it. Truly a worthy and wonderful vehicle.
