Chevrolet Corvette 2005Change

I have owned this car since 2008, have enjoyed many long trips, gas mileage is unbelievable for a 400 hp car.

This is my 2nd Vette, the first an 89 C4, and there is quite honestly no comparison.

She's Black with Grey interior.

Everything in my C6 is stock, no upgrades or mods, just the plain 400 HP Standard, with no HUD. They actually made less models like this (bare bones) vs ones with HUD, heated seats, and other things I regret not having.

I bought it 1 year old in Aug 2006 out of the USA with 45,000 KM on it, and 7 years later I just cracked 70,000 KM and have spent less than $1500.00 in maintenance. I've replaced a battery, a few hoses, a couple of belts, a set of tires, but nothing major with this car.

Fuel economy is impressive, generally 29 MPG or higher on the freeways going 100KPH or more. (I usually go 120KPH), but I know you can squeeze about 33 MPG if you keep your speed between 90KPH - 95KPH in 6th gear.
I rate it very high because I've taken good care of it, but I've also driven the car very aggressively on occasion, such as light to light racing, & several full out acceleration - Although rated for 302.4 KPH, I've had her up to about 240 KPH on a very safe 5 Kilometre straight away (no driveways, hill to hill).

As these cars are going for under 30K today (2013) I would highly recommend one providing it has less than 100K on it.
My experience with 8 year old vehicles with 150 KM+ or more on them is everything starts falling apart in need of replacement. (Not usually the engine or tranny if they've been taken care of, but everything else.)

We bought this car a year ago with under 22K km on the odometer. We put another 20K km on the car last summer and are still more than impressed. After 40+ years of musclecars and their 12 mpg, 30-35 mpg (Imperial) are a refreshing surprise. One of these LS engines in an old musclecar would be a huge improvement and that is exactly what I would do if I ever go back. The car does everything well but I wouldn't want to run into electronics problems. The car is full of the stuff. Too much for my liking. If I need traction control and stability control, then I need driving lessons. We should have this car for a long, long time. It has been a total pleasure to drive.

Absolutely Loved this car. The sound coming out of the exaust is amazing. Really enjoyed it. Will definitely miss it but need a truck.
