to be honest, I didn't like them that much until I went a sat in one today. Theyre sick, but I think the zo6 or whatever is the one to wait on. Atleast that's what im doing.

I'd wait a year at least and see how all that new tech works out. Usually with a new generation vehicle the first year has its faults. Being stuck with a C7 that had a few unfortunate surprises for me is not what I would want my Corvette experience to be.
For my money I'd sit still for a year or 2 and see if Chevy needs to clean anything up, all the new owners are on their honeymoon so we'll see what they have to say when that new car smell dissipates and they're putting up with a glitch or 2. |

That maybe awesome but I DON'T BELIEVE IT. It does not even make sense. However there is always a fluke and we have all seen this happen no matter what the make of car. For what it is worth, months ago I warned that this kind of crap would be reported----ALL THIS JUST IMHO.
As far as trading for c7, I like it's looks but that is all. No way am I going to trade an all around better car--especially with the zl1 engine and drive train which is so mod friendly- for a BM c7 which is a big BM mistake with the faint odor of a turd about it. Only exception is the zr1 which I love and still get a huge grin every time I drive it. I know, apples and oranges, but it does show BM did not have to pawn this car off on the public in its current form. It makes me so angry ---want a vette? Sure here is our sub standard c7" TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" I also know yada yada yada and yes this is way I really feel. Sum it up: here is the latest greatest Ferrari beauty with a 4 cylinder engine but what a car! |

If you don't need a back seat I think the C7 is the way to go.
more grip, better strait line speed, little bit more exotic look. me on the other hand with a 4 year old and 4 month old a C7 would just be a garage orniment that never gets driven so I will wait.

they guy who cut it runs his 13 gt500 very well as well. people who drag race a ton will always smash the times the magazine guys roll out. the c7 is lighter and easier to launch.

...I love the C7...it's looks great IMHO. But, at the end of the day...I am a dyed in the wool Camaro guy and couldn't do it....I know where my heart lies.

One is a Sports Car, the other is a Muscle Car. Which "genre" of cars do you want to own? They're very different in quite possibly every way. Yes, they are both fast, both handle great, and both do similar things similarly, but they are very different beasts for very different people. Personally, I chose the muscle car route. I love the roar of the ZL1 and the mean "in-your-face" stance it has sitting in my garage. People driving by my house stop and take notice because it looks so angry. Would a C7 do that? Possibly, but being a "base" Corvette the "newness" of the C7 may wear off after a while. Will the meanness of the ZL1 wear off? I'm betting no. It's one of those cars that will be talked about for decades to come. Much like the original ZL1s and Z/28s. In other news, I feel Chevy did the world right with the new Z/28. They brought back the "BOOM". Same with the ZL1 and COPO. Chevy is really taking some good advice from someone because their views on current and future car line-ups are just amazing...

I seriously considered a new Corvette before I bought my ZL1. Due to some serious back problems I've had for a long time and will continue to have the rest of my life, a Corvette just wasn't for me. Sure it was fun, felt good, and went like a bat out of Hades, but getting out of one is just too much of a nightmare to try and do on a more regular basis. Camaro ZL1 it was. Happy ever since and don't regret a thing!

Just traded my SS for the C7 this past Sunday. I will say the C7 is wonderful in all aspects...looks, power, ride, comfort, etc. I loved my SS! It was all me...grit, design, mod-ability (if that's a word). Just was time to make the move. I really wanted a ZL1...and the C7 was within the same price range, so I just did it!

Seems like enough evidence to me. Believe what you want. The run was done at ATCO, which is known for great times because of its great DA and good track prep. On this particular day the DA was +400

Good point. I take that for granted because I have one, but you are so right. C7 will be everywhere soon.

If you are going to do it, I'd wait. Too many quality issues right now.
