Traded in my '09 Z06 for my Z51 Stingray, so yeah. No more red, got green.
Red says stop, Green says GO! I still have my '05, too, so I'm in both forums!

No C7 for me anytime soon, especially for an experimental, I mean 2014 with lesser trans much less. I'll wait for a 2-year-old Z06 in 2018.
P.S. I hope they fix the Camaro tail light problem by then...

Yeah, that's for damn sure.
We'll be keeping our triple-black '13 GS ragtop for a long time. Plenty fast, plenty cool, and it's paid for.
However, my wife and I will add a new V-6 powered Camaro ragtop when we retire in Prescott, AZ in a couple of years. We expect it to be plenty fast, plenty cool and plenty affordable (about half the price of many C7s).

I'm just kidding about a C7, somewhat. I would definitely want the next-gen Vette but notwithstanding the tail lights that I'm using as a joke, of course I would want one but definitely not a 2014 nor a narrow body.
My C6 Grand Sport still draws me to the garage for unnatural staring sessions and I love every minute of it. Hell, I still just sit in it with the garage door close, listening to my favorite tunes while I mouth off "Vrooooooom, vrooooooom, vroooooom!" and shifting gears. (Don't tell anyone!)
When I do get a C7, it must also be a wide body and one with the issues worked out. Otherwise, I like seeing them on the street and at car shows but I am definitely not feeling an urge to let go of my C6 GS. Tail light jokes aside, that's what I'm waiting for and even then, it's still a hard call.

No intention of getting a C7. For myself the car was a disappointment. I would never buy a car that I'm not comfortable driving. The interior is just too cramped for me. If the OP is happy, than I'm happy he is enjoying his car.

Not anytime soon but I hope to one day.
Love this AW C7 I parked next to yesterday.
When we left there was another C6 parked with us.
Excuse the crappy cell phone pics.....it was too dark there.

Nope, plenty satisfied with the C6. I may look for a gently used Grand Sport though.
I really want to get an automatic and at this time, I wouldn't touch a C7 with the new A8. Been reading way too much about the problems with them. It's probably one of the reasons it's on CR worst reliable list.
