A classic American sports car made since 1953 by the Chevrolet division of GM. Always two doors, always two seats, always popular and cool. Small block V8s since 55, IRS since 63, 4-wheel disc brakes since 65, fuel injection since 57 (and again in 82), and high performance since day one. Okay, so maybe the original I6 auto model wasn't too fast, but hey, what the hell.
Anyway, the Corvette (or 'Vette') is currently in its 6th generation bodystyle, and features a 6.0l (366ci) OHV V8 constructed from aluminum and featuring EFI, a large dual exhaust system, among other things. The suspension is fully independent and has thick sway bars at both ends. For brakes, big vented discs clamped by multi-piston calipers, along with standard 4-channel ABS. Transmission choices include the standard 6-speed manual (which gets the T-top 28mpg) or (new for 06) and 6-speed automatic. Performance is just great, with 60mph coming the under 4.5 seconds, and capable of reaching 186mph. .95g is normal for a C6, and the brakes can stop this car from near freeway speeds in 120ft. or less. All of this for a lil over $40k. Almost half the price of a new 911. And less than half the price of the poorly-performing Acura NSX (290hp for $90k, Jesus Christ!)

Best car america has ever made, to bad thats not saying much. I don't understand why idiots on here are comparing an $85,000 race car to $2000 honda civic , thats like comparing the Z06 to a top fuel dragster in the 1/4th. I bet 90% of the people who are saying its the best car in the world are wannabe vette owners that will have to settle for a V6 camaro. The truth is most vette owners won't ever go over the speed limit because they are always 65+. It cracks me up when people say its the best bang for the buck when it runs low 12s stock. For $30,000 you can just buy a STi that runs high 12s stock and put $5000 into it and you could easily reach the 11's, also on the track the STi would give the Z06 a good run for its money do to AWD. All in all I have to admit its a nice car, just not the best car ever made. A true car enthusiast would chose a ferrari or any other european super car over a vette any day.
The corvette is a great car, not the best car ever made, but still a great car ( that would get shat on by any european car in any race )

A tuner's dream, can handle supercharger turbo body kits aftermarket exhaust etc. But still comes out of the box with more horsepower than any rice burner and actually doesn't fuking break after second turn over. Hands down the fastest pussy wagons ever.
See me for video of +14O in my '92 Corvette.

An over-rated sports car for insecure men who lack other qualities, and need a fancy car to get the girl, despite the reason a car's only purpose is to get from point a to point b.
Guy: Hey sexy, wanna hop in my corvette and I'll show you a good time?
Girl: Oh, sure! Even though you're old, the cavemen on geico put your face to shame, and you only have a 2 inch penis, sure! :)

In a mid-life crisis, if I have a corvette, I failed. If I own a ferrari, I made it.

A car designed to be a slow moving shit bucket that couldn't beat half the 4-dr cars on the road in the 50's,much less any real hot-rod.Later the engineers of the original shit bucket were taken out and shot,replaced with some more whores of satan who set out to create a 200 mph plastic penis prosthesis for old men and closet gay republicans "out cruising" for boys being pimped by NASCAR watching redneck stepdads who like to be called things like "Skeeter".Usually these pathetic excuses will waive the standard "son rammin fee" simply because the guy waving a few bucks at his trailer is in a Z06. He will exclaim at this point "OMGMAWMA!",as he jumps up his bean bag chair,throwing his mother/sister off his lap,"IT'S AFUCKINZ06!IT'S LIKE THE BUDWIESER OF CARS!I MIGHT BLOW THIS GUY MYSELF!".These old crones stood around at the golf course with the engineering team that made the neo-gen vettes, laughing about how much they have saved on their monthly child prostitution bills, the engineers decided that this was simply not enough. They could rebuild it, they could make it even worse!So they opened up an injection molding factory,got every single axle that the dana corporation was throwing out or using as shred stock for beer cans, they came up with a computer controlled fire hazard that barely moved and STILL can't beat my 41 chevy pickup that I built in my DRIVEWAY,and this is what you are now driving, shoulda dropped that 80g's on the ground and shit on it.
Every old slow driving, empty headed, old ass corvette owner that seems to gravitate toward Daytona Beach FL.

A popular V-8 sports car that will dominate most Japanese cars. By the way, Skylines cost so much because of importing them to the US. They're actual price is about 20-30 thousand.
