my issue with getting a vette is that to find the one I would want options/color wise is rare without ordering one. however I don't pay retail so like my Z it would take me a few months of searching to get the one I really want.

I get the same stuff from every dealer in the Tri State.

A guy I work with bought a C7 vette. He's 55 yrs old. All the new vette's that I see are driven by old farts. Think it's empty nesters that now have money to spend on themselves.

C6 looks smaller and lighter, and refined.

C6 was bleh.

it was a massive step up from the dreadful C4/C5

however the C7 is what a vette should be. they finally made it from real materials rather than a ton of plastic. hence why it's finally getting respect. prior to this it was just a big engine and plastic.....that's it lol it was really worth 20k for the engine the rest was just the left overs from the impalas and Malibu's.

oh I was referring to your friend being an incompetent driver

I take that back.

on another note, I think we will see something similar to the 370 in the near future. speculating that we will get a 2019 400z (looking like a toned down nismo with the W grill lines and such) and then 2020 for the 50th anniversary refresh bs.

that's just too far off for me.

I'm an impatient person and an impulsive buyer.

3 years? i'll be in a new car by then.

LOL, you don't see young guys in most sports cars with a price point of $100K... why, you don't have the money to buy toys like that and you should be spending money on your children if you have them. Save and invest your money so when you are older you can play with the big boys and enjoy the golden years. If you can't tell I'm one of the "Old Guys" and you can just try and keep and keep up with my old slow a$$, power hungry, mid age crisis, young girl lovin, Sugar Daddy and AARP discount gettin MFn self!!!
