Dilemma
I've wanted a Corvette all my life and consider it a realistic dream car, but IMHO, the C7 doesn't look better than my Nismo. The ZO6 is a no brainer, but I'm not willing to shell out six figures for a car at the time. I've explored a few options as far as modding and money is no issue on the StingRay, but I just don't think the Vette will visually do what the Z does and something will have to go and it's difinitely not gonna be my SRT8. I'll probably wait a few years when the ZO6's drop in value and get one of those. Anyone here get out of there Z and into a C7?

It's all in what you want to do my friend, I will never get a Chevrolet.. But thats my $0.02
But now a car I really like is the new Cayman... |
I got out of my Z and into a LS3 C6.... and now I'm back in a Nismo :cool:

The problem I've found with vette's lately is the same as every other modern muscle car, give it 3 years and every one has one. Makes them kind of boring to me. The ZO6 and the old ZR1's of course are a horse of a different color. But I also know when you have a dream car some times you have to scratch that itch.
Food for thought when I went to get insurance on my Z the lady let me know that if my midlife crisis would have put me in a Vette versus a Z my insurance would have been 3 times as much. Turns out they are extremely high risk vehicle for insurers. |
If you don't mind and have the cash? TT or LS3 V8 conversion. :driving:
That'll give you the Powah and exclusivity. |

Yeah, maybe it's just a scratch I need to itch and get it out my system and I'll be the first to admit that I underestimated this car. I have an Magnum SRT8 that I am so cocky about because I can hang with most sports cars and do all the family things I need to as well without giving up anything.............. At least I thought I was until I got the Z which has an ultimate WOW factor that I never got with my SRT or M3 before it. Before I got mine, it was just a Z, but this dam thing turns heads everywhere I go, every light, every gas station ect and it has to be something special if I'm passing on getting a Vette, a car I wanted since a kid cause I don't wanna give my Z up.

I'd get a c7 if I could. But I like vettes. Actually, I like lots of cars. C7 is a sweet car. I would not sell my Z either. Just add to the stable. I guess that's why I don't have both, yet..

I've driven a lot of Vettes, and I've got to be honest the only ones that really stirred me was a 1963 split window, Z06, and ZR1. That being said I haven't driven the C7 so who knows it could fit the bill, I do really like the way it looks.
Than again I've dreamed about Lotus's and Z's my whole life not vettes, so working in a high end shop that also serviced all the big Italians it was hard for the vettes to compete. |
OP should post this in corvette forum, give them an equal chance to offer some perspectives from the vette side. I can already imagine what some of them may say about our cars lol.

I've noticed a lot of guys will talk poorly about Z's because they read some thing, but had never really driven one. There are a lot of fast cars out there, but I haven't driven much that will out handle them. I have also seen a lot of converts once they have actually put some miles on one.
I also doubt a die hard Vette guy will admit any thing is better then their Vette, much like cross fit it's a cult, I mean a life style. |
