C7 defines the quintessential Sports Car for around $65K price point.
I certainly would agree with that, well said!!!

Once these cars get on the road I would have taken a big hit in resale. I will say the crowds went nuts on this car just not me.
Great to hear your assessment and thoughts again on it!

FWIW, I bought a new C3 and dumped it too after 2.5 years. Different reason(s) than your's but sometimes you've got to do it. Cost me a whopping $200.00 to drive it 9K miles.

These cars aren't for everyone, that's for sure. Always enjoy reading input from others on their views.

What is the point of posting pictures of modified VW's on a Corvette Forum?

They do not look the same... Grill, headlights, I could go on.. Just as the error with your first C6 you prove that you have no clue about design elements. But being a Porsche fan gives you an excuse. You are not programmed for change

And I could definitely say the same about the 911 pics--completely different.

Well for someone not programed for change, strange why I ordered a C7

The 996 and 991 are worlds apart, the 996 is by far the worst 911 ever.

I've read all the reviews and saw about 100 video reviews and I can honestly say that this new Vette has had more praise heaped on it than any Vette in the last 15 years that I've followed them. The C6Z did take the auto world by storm but it did scare many a reviewer with it's snap-oversteer and lackluster seats.

I drove mine 2200 miles straight from the factory through a snow and ice storm, across deserts, up mountains and down valleys --- and I think the C7 is REMARKABLY comfortable.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

Besides, with the extra 60K in my pocket, I can make a lot of "unmarried working mothers" from various clubs happy along the way happy.
