New C7 owner decided to join over here
Well I decided to get a C7. I upgraded to this but am keeping my supercharged C6. It's basically a "his and hers" type of thing. In the next few years when we decide to have kids I figured then we'll get the car for the kiddies.
Anyways, car was shipped to dealership from another dealer 200 miles out and it had every option I wanted and only 9 miles on the odometer.
Thanks to GM Employee discounts $71+ car I got for under 62.
2LT Z51
7 speed manual
Magnetic Ride
Navigation with PDR
Carbon flash
Carbon roof
Carbon mirrors/wing
Here's the photos. Limited driving as I grabbed it right during rush hour and then had to work overnight. Finally got a chance to put up a few photos next to my C6. I'll post thoughts as I get more time behind the wheel.

Congrats on the new car, and welcome! I haven't missed my C6 for a minute since I got my C7. You're gonna love yours.

Once I get more seat time and a good wash/cleaning of both cars I'll write up about how I feel they compare and also take some cooler photos. I was in a rush taking these. C7 is quite the upgrade from the C6. I feel the C7 is more of a "cruise-oriented" car and the C6 is more of a "in your face" type of ride. I'm playing nice with the C7 still until I get more mileage on it. Once I push it a bit I may feel a bit differently.
X3 is a friend's car not ours
We do enough of our own wrenching and screwing around with the cars I'm not in a rush to do that any time soon
We plan on enjoying it after kids. She's a car chick like me so the "soccer mom" car or equivalent was never going to fly. We have a G35 coupe for now as the 3rd car but it'll be swapped out to a fun 4+ seater for kids in a couple years.

Congrats, you're going to love the C7, if feels fast and you'll be happy!
Sell the C6, I had a TT C6 that I kept for 9 months after I got my 14 and I NEVER drove it! Will the C6 be driven daily?

'15 Vette
'10 Vette
'04 G35 (high mileage slow and boring). Backup if we need back seats for something or if something goes wrong with the other two cars.
We will split duties we both have jobs so it will be driven.
