Saw the C7 at Laguna Seca this weekend while at ALMS.
First of all, props to the GT win for the Corvette team. Their 3 car was hauling ***! Love the sound of that beast. Chevy had a booth with a few cars and of course brought the C7. While it's a great looking car for a base model, to me it's just not aggressive enough. I'd have to wait for a Z06 widebody version before I were to buy. But if you're in the market and you were fine with the base C6 looks, then you'll absolutely love this car. It's very mature yet mean looking. We couldn't get too close to the car, but you could still see through the window and the interior looked fantastic!!! Can't wait to start seeing these on the street and I happily await the higher performance versions (strictly for more aggressive looks as this base car will have plenty or performance).

That's awesome, MC.
As most of you probably know by now, I went ahead and got my used C6 Z06. I freaking love this car.

My plan is to drive her, pay her off early, and then see what higher performance trims are offered in the C7 in a few years. |

I sat in one at Nashville cars and coffee last saturday. If I get off my duff and upload the pics I will post up here.
I am absolutely sick over this car, and I have never felt this way about any domestic vehicle ever. I have always respected the Vette, but this thing has crossed into the exotic territory with its looks for me. The one I sat in was white with black wheels and red leather interior. Z51 package 3LT. The whole car is just stunning. I was actually almost mad that I had just bought my '13 Z. I will be watching the next couple years very closely to see how they hold up with the new DI setup and overall depreciation and reliability. I would ideally like to pay the Z off and keep it, but I really see this car in my future. And yes, it scrubs out the GT-R completely in my book. |

He worked high enough up at Chevy from what he was talking about and the impression he gave me. Should have gotten his name. |
