If the guy is who someone else said he was with a previous screen name, I got so tired of his anti-C7 snark shots that I made negative remarks, in one post, about some chrome doo-dads he had added to his C6 and he went absolutely psychotic before being banned. Ain't that always the way though. :crazy: :crazy2: :crazy:

It's him. That avatar pic is the same one that Torched posted a few times. He posted pics of a few cars in the same location. He also posted pics of an SSR. He took a lot of flack for claiming to have connections in the Bowling Green plant that would give people tours outside of the standard BG tours. He said he traded favors and let these people come to studios where he works filming TV/movies.
Eventually, those posts/pictures will be found and he'll be exposed for who he is...a twice-banned member who has returned under a new screen name where he misspelled "lightning". :lolg: S. |

Good things come to those who wait. Like Improved cars and bigger discounts. A year from now 5K off will be common on a base car like the Stingray and you wont be hearing about paint runs and mis aliened body panels etc.

For the sake of a few grand, live now if that's what you want. I feel for someone who needs to put their life on hold over a few thousand bucks.

cam Today, I picked up my 14-year old from school and we stopped at Sears. On the way into the store a car busted an obvious U-turn in the parking lot and came back to the row where my C7 was parked, drove down it, and stopped to look at the car. We watched from the door to the store as they circled around again. On the way out of the store, we noticed a guy standing in the middle of the parking lot taking pictures. In fact, as we approached from the passenger rear, I actually had to walk around him to avoid getting in the pictures. He spent several minutes telling me what a beautiful car and color it was and asking questions. Friday, I dropped the car off at Bodymotion, which is a big Porsche shop in Ocean Township, to have the Xpel done. Within a few minutes of being there, a 50-something guy who was sitting in their showroom was out in the parking lot taking pictures of the car. After I spoke with the installer, the receptionist told me what "beautiful car" it is. This hasn't happened once or twice, it happens nearly every time I take out the car. IMO, GM hit a home run with the styling of the C7 and the general public agrees. The fact that they run 11.4's out of the box is just icing on the cake. S. |

As I've already said I have no interest in a non-widebody base car even with Z51. With how heavy the C7 ended up being it will take a far higher hp version with an auto available to lure me in to buy. If not then I will be forced to just keep enjoying my 14' CTS-V sedan and 12' GS Coupe :thumbs: |
C7 Z51 is a sweet car but i bought a 2013 ZR1 a week ago instead. Only a few left in the nation. It is a rocket and only 2.2% of the C6 total production were ZR1's. I will pick up a C7 Z06 or ZR1 in 5 years after my new purchase is paid off.:D

Why are some people pissed that the C7 is being discounted? Congrats to those who can swing the price now and buy it, but let's look at the history....Corvettes get greatly discounted, it's happening now and the savings will grow over time.
As a potential buyer down the road, I welcome this. And no the C7 will not become worthless, as the supply of cars grows the C6 will be further moved down market....just as the C5 was....just as the C4 was. Looking ahead in 2020 a base C7 will still pull mid 20's with average miles, you if you keep the car long term you'll get your moneys worth.....trade or sell in the first few years and you'll take a bath. |

doubt many BMW crowd will be rushing to a C7. Corvette is the
boy racer crowd and a chevy. BMW's are more refined and do not have to be in a face kind of car. See posted that once Chevy C7 newness wears off, its going to be business as usual like the C6. When something new comes out its wow, than at the drop of a hat its old news. The video graphic of the C7 are gimmicks, ??? how many will actually use. Just put gauges and vital engine information all needed. |
Gone already ........... That was fast work by the mods :-)

S. Enjoy the experience of the new c7 as the time is right for you new owners My hats off to you guys Life is not always about what you save or how big a discount off of MSRP. Sometimes it's about the experiences you have... There is a reason I always hated the term bang for the buck As it totally ignored the importance of the life experience you get owning and driving a corvette..... Transcends money or a few grand discount way down the road If the time is right .....buying a new release is huge fun! And worth every non discounted penny. |
Still haven't seen one in my area and nothing from any local dealers.
|
OMG $2K off??
I'll take 10 of them!! Since when is $2000 discount on a new $60,000 car is a huge deal? Hell if are the type that can afford a $60K car anyways.. a $2K discount is going to make or break the deal. |

Most people who do research about a car before they buy it know that the lS7 has problems, which doesn't help its sales. I don't know why people get so offended when prices on their cars drop, it happens to all cars, even more so to cars that are made in mass production. It always amazes me how current owners of a vehicle in question often equate asking prices with selling price or actual cash value. Huge misconception. There are many, many, cases where the 2 are wildly different. The used car market for a novice seller can be a brutal experience. I also love how those who have fantasy land ideas about what their vehicle or similar is worth challenge those who deal in reality with the "show me where I can buy one for that price". Stupid, stupid, stupid. |

For you guys with year round weather, the premium to have the C7 in the fall and use it all winter may be worth it.
For us in the Northeast, where most people's Vette's (mine included) would just go into storage from Thanksgiving to April Fool's Day, the welcomed savings that is coming by waiting until Spring is a good trade off. |
Are we talking discounts on Z51's or non Z51's. I would expect them on base cars sooner then later, but not on Z51's yet.
