Default Are we now the 'Other' forum section now?

Just curious to know what others think since the C7 info has been released. have we now become that 'other' section of the forums now since the C7 info has been released?

For a while until the haters leave, then again when the C7 arrives on dealers lots, this will be the other forum as is the C5 forum now.

What I don't get is there is a C7 discussion area, but since nobody actually owns one yet, the discussion has remained in the C6 section...and the non-C7 owners that plan to be C7 owners have begun to hate on the C6 owners, which, by default is themselves until the C7 is actually parked in their garage. Hell, I am betting I will be a C7 owner before it's all done with, but I personally like them both even though I didn't think I liked the C7 based on the renderings. After looking at the pictures, they are just like the C6 as well as earlier generations, depends on the color as to how it looks. I do like the Cyber Gray, can't wait to see one in person! Anyhow, why can't everyone just get along? Afterall, they are still Corvettes, right?

Are you sure you've viewed the C7 forum? Sure looks like a discussion there to me.

Yep just one of the past model vettes now. The front half say C6 the rear, well its different
for sure. It will grow on people. Will have to say the C6 had the worst interior as far
quality. Always thought my C5 was nicer especially the seats. But once they hit the
streets will have the same sections. Recalls, problems and issue. Right now its all rose colored
glasses, reality will set in once driven off the lots.

The c6 section will still be the busiest for a while since the car doesnt go into full production until later this year right? I cant wait to see some of the new mods and products that come out for the C7. We all know the C6 so well. Anything you can imagine has been done to the car. But yes we will no longer be the section.

Agreed. Now that the C7 has been revealed, the C6 is yesterday's newspapers. The C6's are still fabulous cars( I have 2 of them), but when the C7 becomes available to purchase later this year, C6 owners will be unloading their C6's in droves as they switch over to the C7.

Seems like a lot of C7 discussion here that should be in the C7 section. Even a few of the dealers have started posting C7 advertisement posts here. WTF is up with that?

Cause there's only one c7 category and as we stated above mostly all CF members are in the C6 section at the moment. We will all soon become big popping into the c7 section to see whats going on.

I started with a c4 when the C5s came out, then I got a C5 when the C6 came out, now I have a C6 right before the C7 is coming out. The corvette forum members have always been great to me and I never felt I was in the other section
