i mean, I'd just rather get a nissan gtr. I like asian cars, and I also really like how its (barely) a 5 passenger car. or i think it is, cause i know its got back seats.
Corvettes are very cheap because they are made of...plastic. Most of the exterior trim is plastic bolted onto a steel frame, and this cheap material is why it costs a lot less than European sports cars, most of which have a more durable (and expensive) aluminum chassis. Plastic fades and cracks though, and this poor build quality becomes evident with age. Oh well, you get what you paid for! Few Corvettes look very good after a few years on the road because of the flimsy plastic it's made of.
@BlastDance u idiot the z06 and zr1s framw is aluminum and the exterior is made os carbon fiber and fiberglass and yes u get what u pay for euro cars moters are alot less dependable due to there thin ass cylinder walls for example lambo vs gt on battle of the supercars the gt won the lambo blew all to hell and couldnt even finish the race/ the only plastic exterior is the bumper not knocking ur opinion just getting the facts strait
@thevettedude66 The Z06 does use aluminum for its basic frame, but it still has a lot of plastic parts. Front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and exterior door panels, are still plastic, and that's >50% of the exterior panels. You can tell when the exterior trim is made of plastic because Corvette doors (even the Z06) reverberate when you shut them. 'Vettes also have a very bad engine, why does its 7.0L V8 produce just 505 bhp? Even a Mustang can do better, the GT500 produce 540 bhp w/ a 5.4LV8.
@BlastDance the gt500 has a sc thats why and it doesent take 7.0 liters thats gms way of making a fast car thats dependable u need to consider hell ferrari gets 500 hp out of a 4 liter engine but it stays in the shop more than on the streets idk how u can call a 500hp engine thats capable of over 300000 miles a bad engine and the exterior panels are carbon fiber and the doors are fiber glass no offense man but u dont know shit about vettes
@thevettedude66 only the ZR-1 has carbon fiber components for a significant portion of its body panels, and the ZR-1 costs well over $100,000. A std factory Z06 has <5% body panels made from carbon fiber, and fiber glass is still weak as structural support, which is why 'vettes still have issues with torsion strength and body rigidity. As for reliability, do you actually own a 'vette with 300,000 miles and original engine components? Even Toyota engines have trouble reaching such high mileage.
@BlastDance ok so maybe i did exagerate a bit but i have a friend w z c5 z06 w over 150k on it. And i dont see any porsches or ferraris doin that w 405 hp. and if fiber glass was weak structure they wouldnt use it on 300k race cars in dragracing.
@thevettedude66 I seriously doubt that your friend could have driven a corvette over 150k without replacing major engine components (cylinder heads, water pump, fuel injector, alternator, etc), maybe you should ask him. They use fiberglass in drag racers because they only need to race in a straight line. Fiberglass is strong when exposed to heat and compression, but like any glass, it's brittle and cracks easily when subject to torsion forces, such as during a hard turn (Material Science 101)
@BlastDance im not gona argue w u i know what hes done to the car plugs and coil packs but nothing major the car is over 150k miles ive seen mustangs do the same hell i have a 1984 ford truck w over 200 k on it its just a myth and biased reviews that say our cars are not built to last and dude boats are made of fiberglass and they take alot more of a beationg that any car
@thevettedude66 some American cars are reliable, but those are in the minority. Older trucks, corvettes, and mustangs all use iron-cast small block engines that are high displacement gas guzzlers, an ancient and cheap technology that helped maintain reliability when it came to the engine. Construction quality on other parts of the car are very shoddy though. Loose body panels, rust, electrical problems, harsh automatic transmission, all major problems for cars from the Big Three until recently.
*C6 was buil ahead of its time. Also the interior is shit because its the American way. We believe in performance, because real men dont give a fuck about sitting in some Pussy ass Leather interiors.
Yep, the 3LZ interior is very, very nice. All leather with excellent fit, finish, and quality.
Comparable to any $100,000 sports car. The 3LZ interior was first available in the 2008 model.
It is interesting to note that many people get their panties in a wad when they thing something is made of plastic. FRP means "Fiber Reinforced Polymer". So we certainly wouldn't want FRP's in our vehicles, right? Of course that means doing without Carbon Fiber and Boron Fiber which are FRP's!
Just bought a low milage 07 Z06, what a bad ass car! Faster and much better gas milage than my 02 911 Turbo even with 10k worth of up grades. I miss the the AWD and ease of exiting and entering, I'm tall. The clutch and the stick on the Z06 are so easy, that it doesn't bother me in heavy traffic.
How can you argue with a 505hp car that gets nearly 30mph on the highway, and can easily be upgraded to 600hp and retain the same milage.
man you got to love muscle cars they are awesome i see what you mean about them sucking ya the interior isent that great the engine is very simple but they sound awesome and accelirate amazingly! they are cool but you wouldnt want to own one
if your able to drive a manual well, go with the manual, personally, ive gotten so used to driving with automatic cars i would actually see driving a manual car everyday would be a nuisance, but thats just me
if your getting a corvette automatic, get one 2006 and afterwards, they come with a 6 speed with paddle shifters, if you go with before a 2006, you'll get an awful 4 speed
@bewd6797 GTR does the driving for you. What fun is that? You can't even get a true manual transmission with it. It is an impressive car with a great price tag for what you get but it is not for me. I read somewhere that a break job is somewhere in the thousands. Nissan recommends that everything be changed. Sounds like the GTR is going to be very expensive to maintain.
The new updated viper has 600 hp and only does the quarter mile .1 second faster than the 100 hp less z06. Also, the z06 won the Car and Driver competition with the '08 viper.
Hey kbb it is a Corvette not a cobalt as you call it in your first line of your description. You can fix it by bringing up the video and clicking on edit video and you can add or delete words at your descretion. First words are Chevrolet Cobalt ZO6 instead of Chevrolet Corvette ZO6. I'm surprised no one else caught that.
