Default Stingray owners! How often do you get asked…

Is that a z06?

I’ve gotten asked this so many times that I’m about to put a sign on my car that says “Not a z06, so don’t ask”.

Never in 3 years.

I often get asked if those are new New Balance shoes and where did I get those jean shorts.

Not yet.

The question I get is "what year?", then they are shocked when I say 2014. They normally follow up with "I LOVE that color"

Only once. Most people say they love the look of my Stingray, as do I.

I think most folks that compliment my car (there are many) have no idea what a Z06 or GS is or if they do don't know what is different. . .

Great response, I needed a good laugh! But you no longer need to write out jean shorts. That's so boomer and too long. The millennials abbreviated that to jorts a while back

I actually had a girl in her (I'm guessing) early 20's ask me if my '19 was a.....Ferrari. She was pretty hawt so I should have said yes but it caught me off guard.

Never been asked about my C7 in two years and never in my C6 which I had for 12 years.

I do, however, always get asked how much I paid for it...(or if it is mine or not)

Never. I have been asked twice if it was the new C8. The neighborhood kids ask if its a Ferrari or Lamborghini. And lastly, I had a young lady at a fast food drive through just plain say, what kind of car is that because its awesome. She then turned to co-workers and announced it was a Corvette.

At "night car meets" it is VERY frequent. I'd wager that it is at least once per meet.

At anything else, not really at all.

Never been asked that. Have repeatedly been asked; "is that a GS?" I have good laugh then, in setting them straight on what a GS actually IS. LOL!😃

No, but when I owned my C6 convertible, I was asked several times "why didn't you get a Z06?"
