2009 Pratt & Miller C6RS Corvette | Retro Review

[@warrenmintz5227]

Oh man, I forgot about this one! Pratt and Miller definitely believed in the "No replacement for displacement" moto. Plus, this is my favorite generation of Corvette.

[@CheesusSVT]

For 09, that thing was hella fast! And slammed too! 😄Sweet Car!

[@alexpetree2038]

Not really slammed, it's just a racing suspension setup

[@leviefrauim1425]

Holy shitake mushrooms. I knew nothing about this Vette prior to this video. What a beast!

ya noob. Jay Leno has a black one

[@RobFRC]

First time I've heard of a "blueprinted transmission"

[@yugotime1598]

Jay Leno still has his.

[@Blackout_1692]

The one video I really wish Jay put the hammer down but he couldn't due to it being on ancient tires.

I don't lust after your typical magazine cars. This definitely fits my lust criteria

Brilliant!!!!!! Simply brilliant!!!!!!!! Why aren’t more people talking about these cars , instead talking about mustangs !!!!! This car was even more impressive than anything around these days !!!! 👌👌👍👍

[@Highlander1432]

People that can afford these buy a Porsche Those that can't afford buy a Mustang

[@carlos64030]

Oh man... I'd give my left nut to own one of these! I remember the first time and the ONLY time I saw one in person and that was at SEMA back in 2007. I still have the photos I took of it on one of my SD cards. Now THIS would be something pretty awesome to arrive in at a Cars & Coffee event because it's highly, HIGHLY unlikely you'll run into anyone else with one since there were only 7 of these built.

[@JesseJones-nv3vd]

I feel old…2009 is considered “retro.” I loved the C6, Pratt and Miller really made it faster! It’s the last Corvette with rounded taillights.

[@ozgurmehmet4258]

But really 2009... 15 years ago 15!

[@lifeonmars03]

Theres a yellow one for sale now for $300k lol

[@TsukuyomiPlayz]

I wrote an essay on this car in middle school 😂😂😂 well we had a project and I decided to do a car magazine and I was basically dumping on Ford and Ferrari and talking about how much better Chevy was 😂

[@Liplip40]

Saw one of these at local car show once, unreal. Would give my left one for this thing.

[@tormenta2254]

This car, number 006 was listed on Bring A Trailer auction in 2020 bid to $102,500 but RNM.

[@chadtulumalo5472]

The ZR-1 was a beast but I love the look and exclusivity of this build. The Saleen S7 was another crazy build from that year. I really love how many of the customizers released stupid fast factory backed upgrades. LPE had a sweet Vette as well.

[@ViperMods_216]

Best corvette ever made

[@Rascofresco11]

What a stroll down nostalgia lane.. I remember I brought a magazine over to my dad's house trying to convince him that he need to buy one of these to preserve my inheritance vs CDs and Bonds

[@kingrandor7432]

Never new about this vette and I'm a vette fan

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Besides the C2, (especially the '63), the C6 is objectively the best looking Corvette of all time.

[@bmstylee]

I have a soft spot for the c3 from the 70s. They were awful cars but I liked the lines. I would love a c5 z06.

[@jaydee9086]

C6 has the best side profile imo

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

@@bmstylee early C3s looked outstanding, classic Coke bottle lines; the rubber bumper cars started getting a little awkward looking, and the last C3s looked almost cartoonish with the long front end, bubbly rear hatch and slumped rear bumper. That said, the '78 Indy 500 Pace Car edition looked pretty good, the rear spoiler and ground effects gave it a similar profile to the early C3s and really tightened it up. C5 Z06 is probably dollar for dollar the best performance car bargain you can get these days. They're about as cheap as they're ever going to get, like the C4, I think the C5 is getting appreciated more and the market will start reflecting it.

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

@@jaydee9086 absolutely. It is everything that makes Corvettes great.

[@zack7133]

I love the c5 body.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

[@tbirdboy]

8.2l? Whew! Last time I saw a production 8.2l was in my '76 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. And the Caddy definitely wasn't putting out 600lb/ft of torque.

[@lee161a]

When I saw this headline I read "Pratt & Whitney". Now that would have been something.

Best Looking Corvette

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

Did a quick google search on these cars and one with this same pain scheme sold for $102K in 2020. Could have been the exact car from this video for all we know

[@Southized]

Fucking beautiful.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

It's pretty good. But personally the only Corvette that I really want is a C3 or C8. Although I would take any of them.

[@Cheezwizzz]

[@MarkMeadows90]

[@JeepCherokeeful]

[@ericbritton9346]

For the total package of $200,000 with the 8.2 L supercharged and 750 hp?! That is the highest cost of a Corvette I've ever heard. That's like in super car territory.

[@jeremyb4493]

Built by an actual race company. And for the time, it was a supercar.

[@alexander1485]

i saw a yellow one this year

[@dermetzger]

Badass as this car is, I find myself actively trying to remember this car was built 15yr ago because, by today's standards, 500ci with 600hp/tq is kinda... Well, I don't wanna say disappointing, but...

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Honestly I was expecting more from an 8.2 liter, considering a heads/cam/intake LS7 makes over 600whp. Still, what a car.

[@jaydee9086]

It's a track car, not drag car.

[@Highlander1432]

600whp reliably lap after lap

[@oler777]

How did they only make 600 a horsepower out of an 8 L but the C6 R used a 5.5

[@ozgurmehmet4258]

Engine is much relaxed and little bit old technology American engines always much relax then European engine's this is why sometimes American engine's more reliable then Euro's for example Buick 3800 series ll N/A version for European "hah 3.8 and 205 this is bad" but 205 hp is can go 750K km just with simple maintenance like a Toyota same for stock LS's

[@KevinJames-yg9eu]

My neighbor has a C6 with Corsa exhaust -- so obnoxiously raspy and loud that it doesn't sound remotely good.
