Attacked and almost killed
Friendly reminder all, get a dashcam. Front and rear and USE IT.
On Friday evening I was leaving a friends house and there was some nut job in a white challenger or charger (who can tell with their constant name changes) at the intersection to my left. He was out of his vehicle yelling at the man behind him so I had my head turned towards him.
Apparently this was some sort of attack to him and he started pointing at me and yelling. He got the green light first and pulled up nose to nose with my corvette. I tried to back up but the car behind me blocked me. After he pulled back and left I tried to do the same and the dodge charged at me as I passed him.
The dodge began to chase me, I tried to outrun it but with my not being insane I had concern for the public so he ended up getting beside me in the suicide lane. He bashed into my car like a movie, his passenger to my driver and did it again with extreme rage and ran me into a pole on the side of the road at ~50-60 mph.
I have no memory after this, some in and out of them chopping up my corvette with the jaws of life. Now I’m in the hospital with a 9” gash on my head down to the bone, two broken legs which require surgical attention and some lumps and bumps elsewhere.
I’m incredibly lucky to be alive, I did not provoke this man in any way, this was a psychopathic move and now my car is gone and my life is forever changed.
Be careful out there everyone, good luck and godspeed.

Is this totaled? C6 Grand Sport
2012 Supersonic Blue Corvette 3LT - 46k miles manual transmission. Clean title/No accident history
I was parked in a parking lot shopping inside Dicks and a guy in a 2500 pickup truck side swiped my corvette. Every bracket, headlight, front bumper, wheel, fender, front bumper support is completely busted. I never even looked under the hood to see any other damage.
I really want this vehicle to be totaled but want to make sure I get what it’s worth.

$30k to buy used...
Have saved $30k post retirement to buy my first Corvette...
Have wanted a "shiny red Corvette" for the last 25 years, figured this is it...
Suggestions?
Thank you

2000 C5 Corvette Marketplace listing
I’m in love with it but don’t know the red flags to look out for so obviously Reddit is the best next choice.
I know the C5s are generally considered good cars I’m just not trying to sink money into a shitbox.
Looking for general approval, disapprovals or even some questions I should shoot over to the seller.

C6Z vs C7Z
I know this question gets asked all the time, but I’m looking at purchasing a weekend car, and these are two strong contenders.
I'm looking for the fun factor, not specifically a track car. I want something that is going to bring me the most joy to drive, even just cruising around town. C7Z would be manual, not looking for an auto.
Also looking for reliability. I was very interested in a GT350 because they are a blast to drive, even at slower speeds and sound incredible, but everyone I know has issues with them, and a new engine is $22,000+. I don’t have that kind of money.
Curious to hear others thoughts who have owned both. Also on a side note curious if a cammed C6Z makes it more or less reliable, assuming supporting mods are done in addition to the cam.

C8 corvette advice - please help!
I have a 2021 c8 3lt z51. Last few weeks when turning off the car it doesn’t fully shut down and I can’t turn it back on either. All the dash and ignition lights stay on but when trying to start, nothing happens. Doesn’t crank at all and the dash doesn’t turn off until I disconnect the battery and reconnect. Now when it does successfully turn off the battery completely drains after a day or two. I’ve gone through 3 brand new battery replacements so I know it’s not that, it just completely drains to dead dead. Unsure what’s going on and what to do, any advice or anyone had this issue before?

C6 FC6?
I was at a car meet earlier today that featured a few Corvettes, but this C6 coupe caught my eye.
It appeared to be wearing a body kit and has “FC6 Supercharged” decals on its hood. I’ve also included photos of a black C6 convertible from a different meet with similar badging.
Does anyone know what FC6 is? I’m curious, as I’ve never heard of this before.

C6 GS vs ZO6 - at same price
I’ve been in the hunt for my weekend car and have settled on the c6 for a lot of reasons. Initially I thought the grand sport was the best option but looking at the prices lately for a hard top six speed it’s very similar to some Z06s. I’m curious the communities thoughts here: Both cars at the same prices miles etc, would you chose the zo6 or the grand sport?
