I'm talking about 2 years from now, but my price limit is probably going to be like $40k. Not sure if a 2 year old C7 will come down that low.

A base 1LT might come close. Probably harder to get a Z51 pkg one that low that is relatively clean. Im sure you aren't wanting one with high mileage.

Yeah I'll just have to wait and see what the market looks like when I'm ready to buy.

Here is a 2012 for 39K Chevrolet Corvette 1LZ | eBay ... so if the C7 holds its value like the C6 you should be good.

I love to get one as well, but I really want the Z06 (in my dreams haha)

2015 Corvette Z06 does 0-60 in 2.95 seconds, starts at $79K - Road & Track

Pic of Z06 crash at the nurburgring

I was just coming in to post this! Amazing. Dying to see the auto go up against the Nismo GT-R. KING KONG vs GODZILLA!

Yea but even the manual is impressive... 0-60mph 3.2 sec, 1/4mile in 11.2sec. This thing is a monster.

MJB · 10-01-2014, 09:43 PM

Too bad this Vette ended up crashing. Sounded good though

Yeah it is... But the automatic is better suited to go up against a GT-R for many reasons.

1. GT-R Nismo & Corvette automatic both accelerate in the high 2's.
2. Corvette claims there automatic is quicker to shift than the PDK. And Nissan's DCT in the GT-R has been deemed either equal or better than the PDK in terms of fast shifting.
3. It wouldn't be right if one tester had to row there own while the other had the advantage of paddleshifting.

The Z06 looks so much better than the base. I can get on board with the Vette now.

Thought about looking for an older C6 to replace the Z, if I can get it for less - but I think they'd be high mileage to get it for a bit less than the Z.
