OK, let me follow the wisdom & logic of the CF; the C2 is still absolutely gorgeous but the C6 now looks dated?

I am sure the HATERS will somehow say, Ron doesn't look like he likes the C7.

How much more proof does one (hater)need, when the King of Corvette Racing and Corvette lover, Ron Fellows is PUMPED about this C7!

CHECK AND MATE!!

yes. its very simple. When every generation came forward, the previous one always lost in value and newness. It happened everytime. Its only in looking back over time that we see what truly were the classics of the different generations. Will the c6 become a classic? its too early to tell. My sense is if you go 20 years into the future, the zr1 will be the collectible. Most 80 vettes are worth little today. But a mid sixties vette is very collective as seen on barrett Jackson. Mint cars are going for huge money these days. A mint c1 is also getting great action. For a long time after the c7 comes out, the c6 will drop in value more than it is now. If its strictly financial, it would make sense to sell before the new one comes out. If you love the car, ( and it is a great car), and the money doesnt matter, then keep it and enjoy. It is after all a vette!

VETFEVER spotted at 1:44 thru 1:49 in black leather jacket with racing stripes on arms while Fellows is being interviewed

Sopke to Norris McDonald for quite a while - his racing knowledge is amazing and goes back decades

I can't explain CF "logic" we couldn't get everyone here to agree on a lunch menu. But the C2 is dated, very dated in many ways, but that's OK. It's still got great lines and looks absolutely fantastic. I expect history will be kind to the C6 as well. The C6 interior is dated looking now, but it's still a stunning car. The C6 certainly didn't wake up ugly on 1-14-13. I own a C2 & C6, it's hard to tell which one I enjoy more.

Ron Fellows is always a class act, and the only man to have a Corvette named after him............The Ron Fellows Zo6

He was a huge influence is the success of Corvette Racing. A great racer, a great guy, and we should all be glad he is so identified with Corvette.

That car just makes my heart race.
The overhead lighting on the C7 in the reveal shot, next to that concrete wall really show you the sharp crisp lines of the design... just magnificent.

can not see how anyone is just not in awe of the C7
