I drive a Miata and multiple other daily’s that can be considered performance cars. But when I drove my buddies 200k mile LS2 C6 I felt my heartrate increase and my blood pressure increase, the spirit of America ran through my feet and right hand as I shifted through it.

When I drove this car, George Washington himself whispered in my ear "leaf springs"

[@reynos8381]

Yo i have a max budget of about 20k and what something fun but also daily drivable im 6’2 what would you reccomend?

[@pattyboi]

@@reynos8381 hmmm, I mean there's so many in that price range. If you only had to pick one car then I would recommend a hot hatch like a GTI or Focus ST. If you live down south and can get away with RWD year round then maybe a Corvette, BRZ, Miata, or 370z could be good options. I think it all depends what you're looking for!

@@reynos8381 If you want comfort with a little bit of oomf, a v6 6-speed accord is fun too

Picked up my 2009 last September and fulfilled a childhood dream. Nothing beats the rumble and burbles! Hauls ass and gets tons of compliments. They’re great cars!

I’m so sorry I sold my 2009 Z51 to Carvana in May of 2022. I had the hope in 2022 that I would get a ZO6 allocation, but 2 years plus later….. None Yet. Only had 7022 miles on it, but I did get $35,000 for it. It was in pristine condition. Someone got a great C6!. That LS3 was just so great! It seemed to pull and pull and pull! MSRP was around $58,000 in the showroom in April of 2009. I was surprised it remained in the dealership showroom from November 2008 until I bought it for around $52,000 on May 5, 2009. It was my retirement present to myself. That Crystal Red Tintcoat was a great color IMO too! Only problem I had with it was that the automatic transmission would get stuck in Park and there was a KZbin Hack to free it (Although it didn’t work every time.). Finally, the dealership where I got my 2022 C8 Z51 HTC just cut the “safety device” for the Transmission as a permanent fix. I was told that finding a replacement part was no hope of obtaining one. They just aren’t out there! T or F?

[@R19Robbin]

Love that V8 sound 🔥🔥

[@travdripdrip382]

I've always had a crush on the C6. Maybe it's cuz I was growing up when they were the "new cool car"

[@pattyboi]

They're so good haha, I'm definitely a fan after driving this one

[@metaljew4456]

Great video guys please post up more C6 content. I love my 2011 C6 Grand Sport six speed manual.

[@shamalabadingdong]

Our car choices are so similar. Currently an EN owner, also a 370z fan boy. My next car will be an old c6 corvette. Trying to get a high mileage one for cheap. Throw it on a good set of shocks/coilovers, rebuild the suspension and ride it until the engine and trans go. Then i can build the engine. Wouldn't be a track build, just my garage kept manual v8 car to go on nice drives with my girlfriend. I'll definitely keep the EN as a dual duty daily/track car and the c6 would be my garaged car.

[@pattyboi]

Dude EN and a C6 would be an elite combination haha, that would be amazing!

[@Tanner_Teves]

Best performance car for the money. Can’t beat a LS3 and a TR6060! (Just saw this was a 07, so LS2 is also nice lol. If you’re looking at a C6 tho I’d highly recommend gunning for a 08-13 as the LS3 is superior)

[@backyardboosters9128]

The ls3 is better but the biggest improvements are the tr6060, and a nicely upgraded steering rack that feels a fair amount better.

[@mogulme6190]

The ls3 is not that superior.

[@Tanner_Teves]

@@mogulme6190 It’s not *that* superior…but it is superior lol

[@tangoarangoable]

Thats a cool looking car right there. Oh wait...

[@HTX_ROME]

I really don’t understand why people call C6 interiors outdated. The car was designed 20 plus years ago. A lot better than lambo’s and Ferrari’s of those years in comparison as well.

[@cany4200]

What type of exhaust on it? Doesn’t sound exactly stock…corsa, borla?

[@pattyboi]

Corsa axle back exhaust 🤙

[@jeffstephenson4156]

No all are targas, there are convertibles too

[@markpumm1178]

Who did the Harmonic balancer?

[@fedup1480]

The C7 Z06 first Gen that was targa and also convertible option in a Z06.

[@hbgriss]

Anyone can fix a glove box or parking break etc. deerrrr
