Corvette C6.

[Jason_E]

Friend of mine just jacked in his Z4M for something a little quicker. 450bhp, 6.0 V8. It sounds immense and absolutely shifts. Like, really shifts. Like, time travel.

Anyway, this sort of thing isn't really my cup of tea really but I've fallen in love with the noise and torque.

Have a few video's I'm splicing together as we speak.

 

[Bluebeard]

Isn't that the LS2 engine that comes in the Monaro VXR?

If it is, tell him to get some decats. The noise will double.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Deffo get it decatted and X pipe too!

Sounds amazing.

Like, really shifts. Like, time travel.

that made me LOL!

 

[Nick172Cup]

I must admit I used to have a massive hatred for these cars, now I love them. Gorgeous looking cars and mad power/torque/noise!

 

[Wick]

The only (and I stress the only) thing that puts me off, is LHD.

Epic in every other way. There's no replacement for displacement

 

[Jason_E]

It's got some sort of 'zaust on it as it is! VERY loud. So much popping, it's comedy. It's also managed to re-arrange most of my internal organs... and my hair. 6.0 V8 hairstyle ftw!

 

[Mr Burns]

That's a proper car that is.

 

[Joe#]

Sooo epic...

I'm not the biggest fan of American muscle. But I really do appreciate these cars.

Oh nice. I look forward to the vid then!

 

[Stefan.]

looks a beast lovely color

 

[Dafthead]

Had the new 2012 model in Miami for a week, nice cars but so s**t inside.

 

[Jason_E]

Youtube s**tty quality for now until Vimeo processes. Doesnt sound loud inside, should have got some DRIVEBYYZZZZ

[TimR26]

I love Corvettes, I'd have one tomorrow if I didn't do so many miles :dapprove:

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

If I ever had a ride in one, I'd be quite worried it would drastically change my mind about all American cars.

I've always thought they were s**t Dan. Now.... not so much. It kinda works, just because of the torque. So useful on the road if you think about it. You don't even need a gap to overtake, you just make your own.

 

[Mr Burns]

Sounds good, although my mates Sierra is louder still...



Would rather have the Corvette though personally!

 

[Stefan.]

that sierra sounds the nuts but god its looks awful!!

 

[TimR26]

Found the ad, it's got a Borla exhaust and few other bits. A lot of car for the money.

It's nowhere near finished, but yeah it's looking a little sorry for itself!

 

[Stefan.]

i'm glad you have said that rather than that's the finished project

"Peanuts to run" Not f**king likely with that engine!

 

[Joe#]

Yeah that's true.

So much car for you're money though.

 

[TimR26]

"Peanuts to run" Not f**king likely with that engine!

LOL missed that bit, you'd probably get 20mpg tops.

 

[coleman]

Looks lovely and all that, but i wouldn't say "its a lot of car for your money" its £22,000!

 

[Scoot]

Hero's car.. So what do you drive? A Corvette. That is instant man points.

 

[JoeyD]

Brilliant photos!
It looks and sounds incredible. And seems to pick up soooo quickly in that video, looks very powerful.

 

[Wick]

FML I NEED ​more cylinders.

 

[Jason_E]

The speedo does seem to climb VERY fast.

Cheers! I chose for us to go somewhere that looked REALLY english to shoot it, as it's American lol.

 

[Goodj]

FML I NEED ​more cylinders.

Amen

 

[g.cameron]

Love these.

Always have, but I'm American deep down.

Great buy.

After it breaking (Hole in the radiator due to meteorite sized stone) it's now back up and running and he's done a little vid.

His GoPro is sitting far back but it's still blowing the mic LOL. Evil noise.

[Englebert]

Z06 is a whole different ball game and the only one i'd justify over a M3/911 type car personally.

I see they are more affordable now, the one linked above is a huge amount of car for the money! Got to hate the disease that is temptation with cars!

 

[syko6288]

a lad i know has one with the borla with somesort of valve in it and it sounds amazing on full pedal

love this colour

 

[ch!ppen]

Was looking at a few of these with a friend at a car meet last night. She was in love with them but i was really struggling... I mean, they're nice - but i can think of far nicer cars to own!

That black one is mean!

 

[Eddie.]

Love these so so much.

Saw a few at the 'ring and they don't half pelt out a noise! Something about that amount of straightline speed that's effortlessly cool.

 

[Bodge!]

Looks and sounds like something Satan would drive!

How does it handle?

 

[mjf93]

Awesome cars, anything after a 'c4' so 1984 handles well, transverse leaf springs, 1g cornering ablility accoring too the of the time reviews. Under powered untill 92 when they got the LT-1 though

Nah, Satan drives a Hennessey Corvette ZR1.
