First (and saddest) step to a C7 (used) Stingray!
Today I sold my beloved LeMans Blue C6 convertible. Very sad but recent right severe shoulder injury convinced me that the M6 had to go!
My beautiful Blue Ox will be missed!
Now starts the search for a lightly used C7 (coupe this time with auto). Still trying to decide on a color as they all look great! Probably silver, white or maybe even red.
Patience is a virtue!

That C6 vert is a pretty sight, Ox and Im sure you had a bunch of good times with it.
I bet the C7 will live up to your expectations and youll make some great new memories without forgetting the C6 beauty you gave up.

Go silver for ease of keeping looking good, I would say. Some silver cars end up looking kind of blah, but I've seen the C7 in silver and with the darker accents it looks pretty interesting.

I understand completely now that I have arthritis in both shoulders. It's very painful to shift the transmission and I never thought this would happen to me. Order a 2015 in the new Shark Skin color because it looks great and will never show much dirt.

Had to sneak in a peak of a Laguna Blue too, just in case.

I too sold a LeMans Blue C6 but did the opposite. Went from auto to manual. Man, that was a beautiful color!!!
Initially, I was sold on white until I saw Laguna Blue in person. Then I was sold....so it's blue again on the C7.

A friend has a C7 Z51 coupe in magnetic red and another friend has a base C7 coupe in torch red. I think the magnetic red looks much better than the torch red as it is a darker red and helps hide the black add on vents, tail light surrounds, and the rear diffuser.
When I look at the magnetic red, I see the complete car. When I look at the torch red, all I see are the black vents, etc.

too bad about the shoulder injury ! I actually stopped riding streetbikes because I was afraid of getting hurt and not being able to drive manual in cars lol
