I traded and ordered a 2016 Stingray Z51 convertible, Blade Silver Metallic, A8, Mag Ride, Comp Seats, Twilight Blue Design Pkg. Order accepted, TPW week of 10/19 or 10/26.
My A8 performs perfectly. Has since April when I got it.

It really doesn't matter if my TR Z51 M7 becomes a collector car or not-I'm not selling it. It's already a collector car to me.

None of us are going to be alive long enough for any early year C7 to actually appreciate in value.

Fun question, though.

Maybe should have read "Is my A6 TR 3LT going to be a a high-demand car for my grandchildren to sell to a collector?"

Our $72,000 coupe at 2 Chevy dealers in the area is worth $50,000 at one and $51,000 at another. Auction prices as of 2 weeks ago were in the low $50,000 range. Good Luck with your collector car I hope yours is worth more than my mint 6,000 mile Vette.

GM performance figures A8 Z51 1/4 mile 11.9 seconds at 119 MPH but my poor A6 Z51 can only do 12.0 seconds at 119 MPH 1/4 mile according to GM that is I lose again.the game if your car is far from stock then I lose by way more than GM performance figures because my car is factory stock! Enjoy your ride as I will mine even though I will never go to the track.

Thats my point buddy. The figures mean very little. We should just enjoy our cars! For every thread you see someone say something negative about the A8 I am sure there are hundreds of guys out driving their cars with no issues. Also if anyone does have issues with early A8 cars then I am sure they can be updated and fixed. GM uses this trans in lots of cars now and the old ones at worst case can be replaced and updated by newest A8 versions. After all its a chevy torque converter trans nothing fancy and magical or expensive.

Listening to HD radio sounds like listening to a CD or MP3. Huge difference.

As soon as XM figures this out, I'll get a subscription again and I told them that last night when they called to get my business again.

OP doesn't kid. If you really want to set him off tell him the Z51 is an option package on a Stingray and not a separate model.

No vette that's TR will ever be a rarity, as they pump out so many red cars, it's ridiculous. Now LRG or NRB might actually be considered rare.

Anyone who thinks I am serious must be crazy ! I was just saying how SOME people keep posting complaints about their A8 tranny and I was joking since my car is a 2014 with the problem free A6 which would make my car desirable. Once again only joking!
