Yes, I'll get a C7 or C8 when it's time for a new Vette.

I bought my 07 new with 2 miles on it and now I have over 155K. I plan on keeping my Vet until it is no longer economically feasible to repair or replace parts.

I bought my 13 GS after the C7 reveal. I'll be keeping mine for quite a while.
Well that's outstanding!! Good for you.

Keeping my C6... Don't care for the C7 and in another couple of years the C6 Z's will be in the low $30's. I will then get one of those or maybe even a ZR1 when they dip into the $50's...

I will be enjoying my C6 for a while, however I will end up in a C7 in a few years when I find a nice pre-owned, and I'm ready for a change.

I'm keeping my C6. Just ordered leather door panels from Down South for it. Plan on keeping it for many moons to come.

Very happy with my '13 GS. Keeping my C6 till they bring back the round taillights and curved rear window . . . I guess that may be the C8, C9, C10, or never.

There is a reasonable chance that a C7 will be in my future, but not as a replacement for my 427 Convertible. So time will tell how long it will be before it is realistic for us to be able to add a C7 to our garage.

not08crmanymore: Thank you Sir!

Not planning on it and won't ever unless they fix the rear. I'll keep my analogue gages and smooth lines and round tails...

I figure in about 3-4 years, my C6 will have 100K miles on the clock, so it will be time for a C7.

I'm keeping my C6, I personally like the C6 wide body look better, and the C7 performance figures aren't really impressing me all that much. I'll reserve judgment until I drive a C7 and I may add one as a companion to my C6, but if I go that route it will be a C7 ZO6 or ZR1 if they build either one.

Excellent question and I was considering to post this very same topic.

At the time when the C7 rednerings were available, I stumbled across two Arctic White C6Z06's at Boardwalk Chevrolet.

Without any hesitation, I called and spoke with Tim. For the first time in all of 9 years the C6 was available, this was the only time I was interested in a C6, and, found in the color combination, options, and pricing I was after.

My GF said "YOU DESERVE IT - DO IT!"

So, after a few days of contemplation, back and forth with Tim over the numbers, financing, etc....I went to the nearest Federal Express to drop off my Down Payment. Before I dropped half of my savings in an envelope via form of a Cashier's Check, I called my GF one more time for a sanity check.....She confirmed, "DO IT."

So, on December 22, I took delivery of one of the two Arctic White C6 Z06's available at a steal of a price.

Now as we lean forward into the C7 renderings of the possible "High Performance" version or the "ZO7" renderings, I am having a hard time sitting still.....

However, pricetag itself will dictate a "Yea" or "Nay".....But, if it were up to the GF, she'd probably say "Get a bigger garage."

Keeping my 012 C6. Probably won't get a C7.

Sold mine, bought a Formula 31PC with twin 7.4L EFI's. Will take a look at getting another Vette when the HP edition comes out.

I really love my '427' and will probably be keeping it 3-5 years. I bought the 427 after reviewing the C7, and I'm glad I did, it's a really fun car.

I'll enjoy the C6 for a few years and perhaps go to the Porsche, or back to Benz. I think G.M. formulated it's styling direction with the angular C7, and though I think the C7 is real advancement as far as technology, materials, & performance, aesthetically it is not for me.

SSMOKE

WOW! I generally do not "QUOTE" pics, but everyone should see those two white Vettes twice. (And your garage.) I am always about the "latest and greatest" (my budget not so much) but I really hope that I enjoy the looks of my mighty Z06 when the C7's are out and READILY available, as much as I enjoy looking at C5's now that the C6's have been out for years. Those are some nice looking Vettes and I am happy to say that C5's are STILL easy on the eyes!

Heck they are just broke in at 100,000. My 07 has 109,200 and runs better than it did when new.

Would love to have a C7 parked next to my C6. But it will not replace it unless it starts needing expensive repairs.....which I doubt.

My wife says she can not see my ever getting rid of my baby. Very unusual for me to keep a car this long. In fact this is the longest I have ever kept a car, except for my 51 IH (been in the garage since 1992) but that does not count.

Hope I can swing a C7 in 2 to 3 yrs.

dvilin

Just like any of my other garage toys I will keep it until I get bored with it. Then I move on to something else, not sure if it will be a C7 or a Jaquar, Porsche, or some other sportscar.

Hameister

Yo Randy, ...please let me know how you made out.

Buy it? Didn't buy it? Why? Model? Cost?

My wife is looking for a crossover, and the Encore is one of the cars on her short list.

We have about 4 months to go before we have to make a decision, but she's started the shopping process early.

Thanks....
