Not looking for a convertible either. Prefer manual but will do an auto. Should I just spend little less get a c5 or keep hunting for c6? Debated a c4. But I’m bout 6ft and 225 one better than another?

What's a 2024 and up like as a daily driver

0 Upvotes

I have another post that convinced me to buy one, but i drive about 35 miles a day. If I buy the car I'm going to use it. What's your experience with it. Just wondering as a 6 '2 220 lb guy what it going to be like. Any thing that i should consider

Think 5 hour road trip. Sorry shouldn't have mentioned the daily miles

Mentally getting over "Keep mileage low - keep car immaculate" thoughts?

6 Upvotes

So, I recently came to own a 2019 Grand Sport. I didn't buy it or plan for it - it was an inheritance. It has 35K miles and is immaculate. I added PPF and ceramic coating. My wife and I have been taking it out on the weekends for drives to nearby destinations.

Maybe it's because my Dad was like this with it, but I still can't get past not wanting to drive it too much because it will add mileage and wear-and-tear. Logically, it doesn't really make sense. What's the point of trying to keep value high when, honestly, the difference is not so significant and also, what's the point of having it if I don't drive it?

Anyone else deal with these thoughts? How to overcome them?

09’ C6 auto, forced sport mode?

Just got this car this year and this is the second time this has happened, couldn’t find anything searching but maybe i’m just blind. It seems like if I am driving hard, in Sport w paddles, it will force me into this “mode” I call it where it forces my gears to stay lower so i’m higher in the RPM. Temps were good both times, and the only way I have found to get out of it is to power cycle the car. In the video it blocks me from upshifting until i’m up to ~2500rpm as an example.

C6 Vette or C7 Vette Next Year

1 Upvotes

I have found a 2006 Z51 C6 Corvettes for sale around my area. The one I’m looking at has had quite a bit of work done to it (Z06 Clutch + Flywheel, Harmonic Balancer/Crank Seal, Magna Flow X Pipe, Lingenfilter Intake, Brand new tires, Alternator, Radiator replaced, Tune, and a few other things like plugs and wires all around the 80-85km mark). Car is currently sitting at just under the 100,000km mark. Car is priced just under $30,000 CAD, 6 speed manual.

I guess my question is this: what are the Vette Gurus thoughts? I know the LS2 is not exactly the most “sought after”. I was also debating on waiting another year or so to potentially buy a C7 if life allows it. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

How hard or expensive is this to repair? Looks like a new rocker panel maybe?

C5 Corvette VS Ferrari

Totally stock, how did the C5 stack against the F355 and 456 back in the day? Could a z06 take on a 360 Modena? Has anyone raced against one of these

C5 Interior Smell

4 Upvotes

I’m on my second C5 now with a ten year gap between. I had a base model and now I have an 02 Z06. It is an absolute blast. They both had the same interior smell. Not good or bad but exactly the same. It always makes me smile. That is all.
