Corvette C6 Coupé (05 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 01 December 2009
The Corvette is a rare sight in the UK, but it offers a lot of car for the money. It costs less than a BMW M3, but the Corvette has real supercar pace and presence. The latest C6 model that arrived in 2004 also handles as well as most of its European opposition and offers decent practicality too, although the fact it's left-hand drive only hampers it in the UK. The Z06 was launched at the start of 2006 and ups the ante further with a 7.0-litre V8 engine pumping out 505bhp to put the Corvette right up there with the very quickest cars.

Thundering performance, AMG styling, superb engine, sharp handling

Not as nimble as a Porsche Boxster, slow-witted manual mode
