My "Plan A" is to buy a used, low mileage, 2014/15 vert or coupe in about 4-5 years.

My "Plan B" is to try to buy a used, low mileage, 2013 427 vert in about 4-5 years.

I heard keeks Corvette collection is for sale. He told somebody that he took more brutal hits on this forum than in all his years in hockey. He is now aligning himself with Ford.

Keeks Torch Red 427 Vert would be a great car for Ox . The car is absolutely flawless except for a valve issue (under warranty). :D

I HATE red Corvettes. They are so yesterday...:ack:

:rofl:I'm sure Keeks is fine and won't be selling anything because of CF. He's just as sick as I am of people who have offered nothing but sniveling around here. I certainly understand that impression.:cool:

Quick! There must be a celebrity face we can photo shop over the front of that car. I see two eyes, an open mouth..and a little nose for air in the middle. Not sure about the stripes could be a nice pacific rim tat...:rock:

I will buy a C7. But to play along, if I did not buy a C7 I would look for a low mileage Z06.

Plan A, watch the numbers on the C7 and make sure I can keep up with it on the highway with my 08 Z06.

Plan B, spend $10K on a supercharger and make sure that I stay well ahead of the C7.

Bill17601 12-10-2012 08:28 PM

That is so Disney of you. However to be a hater you have to make fun of the ride..you know like the Groucho Marxs C7 rear...sigh...:hide:

I was gonna say something smart aleck about plan C, a tow truck, and blown up block replacement but decided not to.

From what I've seen of the C7 so far, I will keep my C6 (still lovin' it) and take the money I'll save out of the bank, throw it on my bed and roll around in it for a day; then re-deposit it and wait for the C8.

Keep and upgrade your C6? ZL1 or Shelby? I just cannot get into the 911s. I am praying GM nails the C7 and spares me this dilemma!!!

My next Vette will be a Callaway Grandsport. :rock:

It evolved spontaneously from a remark I made about spoiler-eyebrows. Then another guy asked "Groucho Marx?". I said exactly, just put a big cigar in his left exhaust pipe. No harm was planned. It just rolled down the hill so to speak. The photoshop was pretty hilarious, I would say.

If you dont like the C7 you prob wont like the C8

.......maybe you will like the C9

.......so thats a 20 year wait

RonnieC6Z 12-10-2012 10:52 PM

The C7 will NOT have a DCT. My 2010 GS vert is gone. My plan B is in my garage. 2013 Porsche Boxster S PDK.

For 50k...you show me a plan B that compares...ain't happenin.

Plan "B" is to either spend way more money, or keep your C6Z because nothin beats a Corvette for the money...nothin.

If your plan B is a Porsche Boxter, clearly you're looking for a different experience. Corvette's are the performance bang for the dollar. If you don't mind less performance, just so you can play with flappy paddles, have big dealer service bills, etc, then have fun. As long as you don't race a Corvette in that thing, I guess you're good to go.

I just don't see how 265hp for more money than a Corvette costs, is a good plan b?
