Default Which drivetrain
So I am looking into the purchase of my 1st corvette and am looking for some experienced answers. I want a C6 and will get one with a automatic. Is there a "better" as far as more reliable engine Between the 6.0 and the 6.2 ? Any specific things I should look at/for when doing my shopping? What are the most common problems/weak points you have seen?
Thanks for any help you can give

H.B. stands for Harmonic Balancer, an issue that a few members have experienced.
The LS3 has more bhp and in 2008 steering was improved and in 2012 the A6 was improved.
Happy hunting!
