I drove a friend's C7 Z51 and didn't feel like I was missing much. I love the C7 looks, but it'd have to be a Z06 or higher for me to consider switching. Plus, you'll be stepping into a much more common car with a base C7. I do love the new vettes though...

Like someone starched the top half of my jeans and forgot to do the rest
Truth be told, I almost pulled the trigger on the C7 Z06... But the thought of being murdered in my sleep by my wife stopped me from going through the process.

At a mere 59 they wouldn't let a young punk like me in the club

I can live to type another day... some would say that was a wise decision
When you get married, you'll understand what it's like to sleep with a lion next to you for the rest of your life

I'm 55 and nowhere near old enough for a vette.

I traded my '15 ZL1 in three weeks ago for a '17 Z06 and I absolutely love it, but I can't lie I do miss the ZL1. I'm an average sized guy so I fit really well in the Vette. Now I have to agree that there are a LOT of older guys driving Corvettes. I'm 48 and they just look at me weird hahaha... I have to admit I miss this forum... it's uhm... friendlier... performance wise the Z06 is pretty spectacular, but the ZL1 was more unique. I wish I had the room and $$$ to have both cars. My kids are grown now so 2 seats are all I need... here's a pic of the new Z06.

His ZL1 was sold before it ever hit the lot. Spoke with the new owner recently on a meet and greet.

I am 12 years younger than you and I drive one. You get much older and getting in and out will be too hard. Funny it is considered an old man car. It is so low that at 65 you better be in shape or you will not be getting into it. Quote:

That is true, it was a pretty funny situation... I think that helped my trade-in value :-)
