C7 Corvette

[Catman]

No it's flat black. No window.

[Lebowski]

Yeah, I'm really liking that shark gray. 

I'd say there's about an 80% chance a C7 in some form will be my next car purchase later this year or early next.

Z06?

[Lebowski]

We'll see, this zo6 seems kinda overkill to me,

[hotrodalex]

You can´t be shown up, though.

Either get a GT3 or a Z06.  Don't be a pussy.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

i agree! A Z51 would suit me just fine!

A Z06 is definite overkill unless you're going to be tracking it.  A Z51 seems perfect to me.

I think even for track use the Z06 is not entirely necessary.

A stingray with the Z51 pack is likely to be on the faster end of pretty much every track day.

Pussies, the lot of you.

[MrH]

Nah. I would prob just get a stingray z51. Toughest choices would be vert vs targa, and color.

If you don't take it to the track I see the Z51 package as overkill. What point is it to have oil/trans/diff coolers?

I like the bigger wheels, rear spoiler and E Diff. But you correct the Z51 is over kill for the street but it's a damn good value!

Vert! White with Aderneline Red interior.......

Bigger shocks too.

Hey, I'm not a self proclaimed millionaire like someone in this thread

[Lebowski]

It's not really about the money, I want a livable dd.

And the handling package is a complete waste on Florida roads.  They're all flat and straight.

You can run a shitty 1980 Corvette at the track too. And you'd likely have nearly as much fun!

The big difference is when you drive home from the track in comfort.

You can track a Lexus LS if you're so concerned with a comfortable ride home.

Z06 looks pretty sweet in person.

Sat in an C7, interior materials are better than the C6 but ... I don't know, feels smaller and more cramped, harder to get in and out of. Visibility out the back is pretty bad.

I think this means its time to test drive a 911...

I plan to test drive both later this year, but the value of the C7 is hard to argue with.  M3 and F-Type will also be in the mix.

F-type coupe or vert?

[Lebowski]

F-type coupe or vert?

Probably vert ... Honestly though I'd mainly just be curious to drive it, out of the four I listed the F-type would be a distant fourth choice for me (with the caveat that I haven't driven any of them).

[Minpin]

I would definitely be buying one if I had a place to park it. Too much hassle/wouldn't ever get used in the city.

A few people said the same thing on the Vette forums! One person even kept their C6 as a daily driver because it was roomier...
