Which Corvette from the past 20 years is the best?

[@johnthreesixteen5323]

I have a C6 Z06. It is a real blast to drive. I have been a Corvette fan for many years. A lot of bang for your buck

[@darren1922]

I want a 2013 C6 427. That's my dream car. If you're going to buy a C6, buy a 2008 and newer, it has the LS3 engine.

[@onetwocrazy1232]

And the t6060 trans if stick

[@davidpisciotta651]

I owned a 2013 427 convertible -60th anniversary model. Great car and performance except for a very bad heat issue. Center console got so hot had to put a potholder in console so I could put anything in it.

[@madness-ent.]

ls2 not worth modding?

[@naturallyaspirated7829]

I had a 2008 C6Z06 Now i have a yellow 07 C6Z06 T56 trans is over 40 lb lighter than tr660 unit I don't feel any difference in performance between the two All i can say my 07 C6Z06 with 5 gallon of gas weight only 3048 lb. and it is the most awesome American car I've ever driven

[@noquartr32]

That was my main determining factor for buying one. Best and most reliable car I’ve ever owned.

[@superchief15]

My 1993 Corvette was a daily driver and the C4 was a major departure from the C3 and evolved during its long production!

[@bettermost]

C5 generation is best. Hands down.

[@5stardave]

C-4s will always be my favorite.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

I own a 2013 60th Anniversary Grand Sport Coupe and love everything about the C6 generation. I want to buy another C6 in the future.

[@sforgus27]

I absolutely LOVE my C6. I've owned it for 13 years this month, and intend on keeping it. We also have a C2 in the family, so we're definitely all about the Corvette!

[@keithlane4343]

I'm surprised to hear you disparage later C4's ('92 to '96). They were so far ahead of their time on so many levels.

[@schaffer5653]

So was the 4wd Eagle station wagon. 😆 Seriously dude, C4s are just lame.

[@GunsNBudder]

C4's are a secret.

[@stormcrow5198]

I have to disagree with him about the C4. My first Corvette was a 1994 C4, and I loved it. I took it on several long road trips alone and with other C5 and C6 Covettes. and it had great performance and surprisingly good gas mileage. The passenger comfort wasn't too great, but I didn't really care about that. The C4 was at the crossroads between the old vettes and the new. It held it's own with the top European sports cars of the era. I bought a C6, but kept the C4 as well. I didn't sell it until I bought a new C7 GS 8 years later. The Chevy dude is wrong about later C4s. 92 -96. (no profit selling) Sure she has some quirks, she also has her charms. If that's what your budget will allow, just find a good later years Vette and you'll have a blast!

[@1bojanbojan]

The best one is the one you can afford :)

[@freddyzapata6702]

I grew up in the 80s with a poster of the C4 on my walls and my favorite all time TV CAR was the one that Face of the A -Team drove , all white with the red stripe on the sides , and I get more excited when I see a C4 on the streets than any other Corvettes on the street and I know I’m not the only one that feels this way about the best Corvette ever created , the C4 😊

[@Jdikmen]

I have had numerous new C3's & C4.s, but I fell in love with the C5 and it has been my only car for over 20 years now (but getting hard to find parts). Never cared for the C6 and love the C7 interior (but too cramped for me). If I could buy a new C5 with the C6 tech upgrades and a C7 interior, I would be a happy guy! The C8 looks like it has it all, but it is no longer for an average income individual - not only do you have to have burn money, but I cannot even imagine getting it fixed at a local Chevy dealer where I live (on a lift between two muddy pickups for weeks at a time). Also, the streets are so bad where I am now it would be a crime to buy any Corvette IMO.

[@paulm6481]

My favorite is C7. I am curious why no love for C4. It was revolutionary when it came out and so much better than C3 which had become a joke. Remember C4 ZR1 was for a period of time fastest cars in the world and its chassis was incredible for the time. To my eyes much better looking than C5 and C6 that were heavy in the butt.

[@Arkturr]

Thanks for telling me you're the top corvette salesman I really needed to know that

C6 z06. Game over. I might be saying this because I own one but still..

C5 red convertible. Smooth lines and beautiful.

[@hakeemsd70m]

Sounds lovely, the C5 is my personal favorite Vette, though I love them all. A 50th Anniversary Convertible would be an amazing choice, too.

[@alexbradley9041]

My C4 is my daily driver. I love the C4 and all corvettes even Camaros as well.

[@ronaldn2962]

I'd take a C4 ZR1. My favorite is a C6 grand sport. Looks great, handles great, and plenty of usable power.

[@SeanGardner402]

There is a ZR1 C4 in my area for 22k.

[@jorge157]

I have a 50th anniversary convertible c5 and I love it! Beautiful color and with a 6 speed. I am going to get rid of the magnetic ride control shocks though. Prefer conventional shocks

[@jrbdtx]

I have the same car in an automatic. Also deleted the mag shocks. Hardly notice the difference and they’re so much cheaper.

[@PieterDamsteegt]

Personally, I'm a C6 fan 'cause I wasn't a fan of flip up lights after the early 90s and I was in high school when they fixed that with the C6. And of course some cars you obsess over are in high school days... so yeah.

[@jamesjensen5226]

The c7 is the best for me I haven't sat in the c8 as of yet but prices are crazy expensive and I couldn't wait plus I knew I could barely fit because of my height

[@artbettencourt8263]

My choice would be the C7 I personally don’t care for the C8 mid engine I’m old school the motor belongs in the front of a Corvette, but opinion are like butt holes everybody has one ☝️

[@plcc07777]

I agree with you on engine location. I'm a C5 owner and I love it. I actually think the C7 is the best looking Vette with the C5 coming in second.

[@SeanGardner402]

I agree but the innovation speaks for its self, when a base model c8 can beat a zo6 C7. Says alot.

[@intimidator.jb3470]

My favorite is my '13 C6 427 Convertible 60th Anniversary edition. I'm 2nd owner and it has less than 10K miles !!

[@jamescharles8663]

Those are some beautiful cars .

[@tonymcconnell1927]

I personally own two C5s and a C3 427 390 hp 4sd roadster, I am 69 still doing plastic surgery at local hot rod shop,I've gotta say if you are on a budget I like C4s and C5s you get a lot of bang for the buck swap meets and salvage yards parts prices are at the lowest I've seen C8s may be cool but I prefer engine in front

[@markbaumgartner7261]

I had a two 96 C4 Lt4, one was a Grand Sport #901. Nothing wrong with C4 Corvettes. I also had a 2000 Hardtop, that they used to make the C5 Zo6. The LS7 can drop valves.

[@MBailey1977]

LS7 dropping valve thing was blown way out of proportion. Just a bad batch of valves was my understanding.

[@VertexGolfAcademy]

I like the C5, my dream car when I was a teenager was a 2002 Z06 Corvette

[@ubiquityimageries]

I just randomly watched this video and realized that I actually purchased that same exact red C6 ZO6 from that dealership last month. That's so awesome!! Haha. Subscribed!

[@paulhudson8321]

I love the C7. I have a 2014 stingray. Blade metallic silver red interior black stripes. It’s a head turner every where I go.

[@billmcmeekin7909]

Not sure if anyone has stated, but the LS7 is a small block, V8. Love mine :⁠-⁠)

[@paulmoss7940]

Some guys erroneously call it a BB.

[@XDM10]

I'd like to own a C5, just for price reasons and practicality, but my favorite car (not just vette) will always be the 63 split window or a 70 chevelle 454 ss.

[@toddinthemiddle]

6spd C5... that's the way.

[@blackstaticband]

2004 C5z

[@pontiffsulyvahn9527]

Just the noise of the zr1 and c7. This noises are beautifull. Never heard something like that.

[@gen2-x364]

Other than a split window in 63 I'd say the C7 ZR1 is my favorite. Although I like the 2009 ZR1 with the LS9.

[@bluecorvette1405]

That is C7 ZR1 not C7 ZL1

[@Corvolet5]

ZL1 is the name of the Camaro.

[@jeffreybruning7836]

As a 6’5” 275 lbs guy the C7 fits me perfect. Not the easiest to get in but when in I am very comfortable. I bought mine used in 2020 and it’s a 2015 z51 2LT. Wish I had the magnetic ride control for lunch mode but hey I am not racing it.

Mike, you are right about the C8 as I just got mine two weeks ago and it drives so nice. Its non Z51 and has Mag ride.

I loved how it drove, but I just couldn’t give up the highway pull power from my C7Z. The second I can put a deposit down on a C8Z though...

[@phillipgarrow2297]

It's not a big block the LS 7 is a small block. My favorite is a C7 Z06 It's a lot of bang for the buck It's a big upgrade in engine department

Corvette has some amazing models over its generations, however the C8 has truly made the Corvette a global supercar. As such, the C8 is likely the most significant generation.

[@skylerallens]

[@Joey856721]

I’ll take a C5 Z06

[@folag]

I've kept a C6Z06 for nearly 20 years. I was disgusted by the incredibly crude transverse single leaf spring suspension. However, my resourceful son successfully fitted KW coil-overs in replacement of the factory-fitted suspension. It was transformed into a keeper!

[@edarcuri182]

Good video but, the headline raises the question which is best? Best is a superlative, meaning there is only one. The question did not get answered! Ack! I like the later Corvettes, the Jaguar F type and, it surprises me to say so that Lexus coupe that is getting raves. The Lexus is out owing to the price. The Jaguars, which are beautiful, can be had with AWD - a plus for the long trips I take. The Corvette offers me a coupe, also stunning, with a removable top to enjoy good weather. Each has plenty of power. I won't be disappointed with either choice, but I am not yet decided. Needing magnetic ride control is not a "misnomer." Including misnomer in that sentence is a malapropism. Thanks for all the good info!
