Default Upgraded to a C7

Well, I've been a member since my early ownership days of my 2005 C6. I finally upgraded to a C7 and won't be on the C6 forums much anymore. I see the ridicule and childish comments in the C7 section aren't much different from over here though so not sure how much browsing I'll do over there either.

Anyhow, here's my new C7
2015 Stingray 3LT Z51 8 Speed Auto

welcome to the club!!! Great color choice, although I'm biased.

Both C6 and C7 cars are awesome in their own right. I still love my C6 just as much as the C7.

Congratulations! I think you made the right decision on waiting for the 2015 model. Love the colors. Come back on in a few months and give us an objective view on what you like better and anything you don't like as well.

Well, I considered keeping the C6, but selling and using that toward the C7 seemed more practical and I knew the C6 would most likely set alot without being driven and that car deserved to be driven. As the C6 was my first Corvette, it will always be something that provided me great memories, but as soon as I took off in my new C7....I kinda forgot about how much I missed the C6. I love my new Stingray!

That's a beautiful color! Take another photo of it away from the curb a little bit- - I thought at first your tires were flat!!!!

I haven't made up my mind yet that when I trade if it will be for a very late model C6 or go for a C7. We'll see- - -

That's a beauty, congratulations. As much as I love manuals, I'd love to give a fully broken in A8 a test drive.

Good point. Both are our daily drivers (his and hers). I primarily drive the C6 she drives the C7. I prefer it that way...for now.

Beautiful!! Enjoy to the max! All Corvettes are fantastic!!! The C5's, 6'S and now the 7's are simply the best we have done in this country with regard to style, technology, performance and affordability!! I have owned the C5 and am on my 2nd C6 ( a GS )....all have been fun......if I could afford TWO.... I'd have a 2015 Z06 with the A8 in a minute! As long as the 12 GS continues to provide the thrill.....I'm sticking with it.

Very, very nice.

I would love to get one too but I just purchased a new truck. No new Vette in my future for quite some time.
