I recently bought a C6 LS3 3LT package with 48k miles on it for 25k and i can say it's the best bang for your buck. It handles very nicely and its pretty fast even by today's standards and ofcourse LS3 is one of the best sounding V8s
Thank you for talking about the LS2, I feel like nowadays everyone just wants to go fast lol been there done that on motorcycles 😂, now at 27 I want a nice sports car to replace my 2 motorcycles
Much appreciated, I’m glad you found it helpful! Good luck on your search, after owning one for over a year I think you can’t go wrong. Just amazing cars all around.
Ive owned 2008 C8 LS3 for 3yrs. And the best car ive owned. Bought it at 20k miles and im the 2nd owner. Its supercharged and its literally my daily driver. I LOVE it!!!! ❤️
The C6 is definitely on the short list of cars that I’ve got my eye on. The way I see it , life is too short not enjoy a still beautiful designed car while I work my ass off. It‘s been a long time since I owned a V8 powered car let alone something that sounds beautiful with solid performance. Definitely have to go through the options by the C6 is one of of not the best bang for your buck. Looking forward to watching the rest and hopefully snagging this low mileage beauty up.
Go for it, I owned the car in this video for about a year and a half and bought it for 20k flat. At that number there’s not a better looking or performing car on the road imo. The LS3 cars are certainly a little better but a bit more expensive so it’s all a give and take. Good luck with the search, these things are a blast!
Fair and balanced review. While the 2008-13 LS3 is a better engine ( 430hp and 424 ib/ft }, the LS2 still puts up decent numbers, and is a cheaper option. Lose a few hp, but save some $$$. And 400 hp is still pretty respectable. One year anniversary of my 2008 C6 1LT 6 speed manual, and at only 16,000 miles, she is basically mint.
I would say the "biggest shame and disappointment" in your channel is that you have had access to all 4 trims of the C6 but still dont have a nice (pro and cons) comparision video for those shopping. Your reviews on the cars have been a nice balance of facts (without getting into the weeds) and have kept the opinionated parts clear, precise, and seemingly as unbiased as one can be.
I appreciate the input and may make a video on this actually. I hadn’t thought of it previously because I had access to each at different times but never more than 2 together. still have enough footage to make that happen though, and appreciate your kind words regarding the reviews! Thanks for watching
It had the worst harmonic balancer issues even though most of them have that, and people seem to think the LS1 is more reliable if built up while the LS3 and up make more power. The only thing I can attest to is the harmonic balancer. It cost me over $1k when I first bought the car.
Yes I've been daily driving it for just over a year and gone on 3 1000+ mile road trips with it, not a single issue other than mild oil consumption since the balancer replacement.@@johnliberty6779
If you meant gas hogger, not at all. This is actually my personal car and I’ve been averaging above 20 mpg with some spirited driving. On the highway it even gets close to 30 mpg

That sounds like a great deal, congrats and enjoy it!
Manual or auto ?

Thank you for talking about the LS2, I feel like nowadays everyone just wants to go fast lol been there done that on motorcycles 😂, now at 27 I want a nice sports car to replace my 2 motorcycles
That headlight upgrade 👌
Bought one yesterday. Super excited!! Thanks for that great review!!
Congrats that’s huge!!! I really hope you enjoy the car and glad the review was of use!
I bought a c6 ls3 manual for under 13k a few months ago! I will say it’s rare to get as lucky as I did
Decent condition?
That’s an awesome deal, congrats and I hope you’re enjoying the car!
Must have been wrecked or salvaged title
I wouldn't trust ls3 for 13k manual
Why was it priced so low whats the story, how many miles, rebuilt title etc?
I'm happy for you, you got your first ad.
Much appreciated, thanks for your support of the channel!
This was a really good review that focused on the first few years of the C-6. I'm currently shopping for one and this eas a huge help.

Supercharged must be a blast, enjoy it!
Such a thorough and fantastic review thank you
Much appreciated, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Got mine last year in July it’s been awesome!
Enjoy it, I just sold mine a week ago and it’s been quite painful to see it go

NGL, a C6 Grand Sport is kind of intriguing!
I have a review of that too, great car and super fun to drive!
Shhhh. stop driving up the prices... lol

Nonchalantly, the harmonic stabilizer is defective from the factory and needs to be changed upon purchase...
Thankfully it’s not to expensive to do, but certainly the biggest flaw of the LS2 C6
Great vid !!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed!
Why do most people rank the LS2 C6 lower than every other LS engine ?

Ls2 or ls3. Ls3 kinda expensive so I’m looking for the cheaper alternative
C6 are a great car......................
What about the gas LS2 is not a gas jogger or is it ?
If you meant gas hogger, not at all. This is actually my personal car and I’ve been averaging above 20 mpg with some spirited driving. On the highway it even gets close to 30 mpg
nah - get the ls3 and thank me later
and a manual?
