The C6 after 2005 is a pretty solid car IMHO..I've had mine (bought new) since 2006, and have had no issues with it. Others will chime in with some more specific info, but you can also use the search function to research..chances are, most if not all of your questions are answered in other threads.
Good luck!! The C6 is an awesome car!

run a search on this topic. The same thread ran less than two weeks ago. There were very few things wrong with 05, just like alll the other years of the c6. What was wrong was corrected very early.
I have have had zero problems with my 05.

Corvettes from what I have seen are generally reliable, contrary to what some magazines say. The 05 did have a few issues that are more common then newer models but most have been fixed. If it really bothers you 06 models are not much more expensive.

I'd bet if you did a poll, you would probably find more satisfied '05 owners (me being one of them) than you would the newer years (no offense intended to those newer owners, they're all great cars). I'm basing this opinion on just what I read on this forum.
Whatever you end up with, I'm sure you will love it. There is no such thing as a bad Corvette! Good luck in your search.

I have an 05 and it let me down.. I've been to the drag strip 4 times (this yr) and only won 2 finals 
I was expecting to go undefeated 
Really its only an A4 but bone stock runs 12.11 @ 116 mph... Won $400 this past Sat at Englishtown, & will be running for $1500 March 14th...
The car is AWESOME !!
