The point of what he is saying is that is what we felt like every step of the way. My '67 Camaro had zero emissions equipment, my '68 had an air pump. That was HUGE back then. Every time, however, technology soon proved our fears unfounded.

I got distracted by my neighbor asking how I like the all wheel drive and I slipped.:D

As the average new C7 buyer will be just about 80 years old in your 20 years hence timeline , these concerns you raise will be the least of their worries in the year 2033 !

:iagree:

Ive check with some local dealers in CO and they already have fairly long list for the C7's. So I to doubt they will sit on the lots.

The C7 will be hands down the best Corvette ever built. Period.

It is pretty simple to figure these things out. :thumbs::thumbs:

The hump in the floor for the second driveshaft to send power back to the front wheels.

Thank you rcallen484. That's right.

Every generation says the end is near -- things are going straight to hell, and soon.

When you point this out, the current generation's straight-faced response is always, "but this time it's true!"

Don't turn a blind eye to change, but don't let your proximity to a particular change exaggerate its significance.

Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat

I don't know this for sure, but I certainly expect it. :thumbs:

You've been a member on this forum for 2 whole months, and this is the kind of thread you made? Really?

Nope. Nope... Not even 2 whole months... 4 days until it's 2 months. :D

Ignorance ->Panic -> Thread to bash C7 before release.

I wonder what new features will be in the black box?

All of them.

AMEN brother,I hope it does sell well even with this economy,personally I don´t like the rear. But thats not a problem cause I got mine and Love to drive it and will love to drive it come 1/13/13.:flag:

Man your C6's value is going to tank quicker than Bear Sterns stock did back in '08. Why would you buy one right before the next more awesome model is going to be revealed? So many people will be selling their old antique C6's right away to buy the C7, the market will be saturated, it would be a buyers market for sure.

Op is made because his car is going to fall in value before he even gets 1000 miles on it.

Pretty sure the economy is doing a lot better than it was when the C6 came out. Things are actually looking up.

(Not trying to start a political war.)

Either way, unemployment is down, jobs are up. The C7 should sell pretty well, actually. I'm going to bet it sells better than the C6 on account of the economy for both generations.

I also think this is the first time we're going to see a huge surge in younger buyers. Maybe not because GM is marketing to a younger crowd, but possibly because there's a younger demographic making more money today than they did 5-8 years ago.

Oh, that's no surprise. The moment you drive any car off the lot it drops drastically in value.

But I genuinely hope nobody's buying a Corvette for its resale value. LOL

That's why I drive the sh!t out of my Z06. It's not going to be worth anymore than I bought it for any time soon. Maybe in 20 years from now it will be worth something... if we're still around... and gasoline is still around.

C7
 

If I had the $ why wouldn't I buy a C7? It is obvious that it has at least many changes including a better interior. It would be fun to own a next gen Corvette at worst.

Lots of haters...
 

Let's see the new C7 is going to have:

- notably better mpg
- smaller outer dimensions
- larger interior dimension
- lighter weight
- no endemic head/ valve problems
- and interior that is so much improved that it can't be stated enough
- the newest design, which I love so far
- faster lap times than a comparable equipped C6 and likely close to the C6Z
- all for under $60K
- cooled seats
- flex fuel capability
- etc

When a car comes out that the $60K base model is superior in almost every way to the outgoing $75K tarted up model, your probably going to see your tarted up model lose a lot of resale value. And btw, 'Ring times are not the only determining factor for a street car's superiority, even one that sees track duty. Only a child would think that. If all you care about is lap times, buy a $13K ZX10R liter bike and spank any car by 10 seconds a lap while getting 45 mpg on your daily commute.

Anyways, don't buy a car for an investment, buy it for enjoyment. And if you enjoy your C6 more power to ya. No need to foo-foo the new model that some of us are very excited to obtain.

As far as the above stated resale values of Vettes: Sorry but 10 year old cars w/ low mileage shouldn't be used in a resale analysis. Either way, if you did less than 50K miles in 10 years in your car, your cost per mile was actually pretty high for the standard 10 years ago. While it's true that the longer one keeps their car, the less per mile they lose, I don't know many car enthusuasts that can bear to run the same car for 10+ years.
