C7 Vette - RIP?

[MyBaddBrah]

Is this car dead already as any kind of impressive car? I was thinking about picking one up, but lately I've been seeing the everyday person driving them. Hell, my cousin who works in public transportation just got one.

Do you have to do better than a C7 vette to stand out these days?

[JoshLV]

Why you trying to stand out *******? Get what you like not what others like. Absolute cucketry

[BullittEV]

Probably picked up a base stingray and you posted a pic of a Z06.

I got a c7 gs because I think the car is awesome. Pure American sports car. People love it.

Does Lift and Uber not count as public transportation?

lol your friend going 50% debt to income ratio for a used midlife crisis should not impact your buying decisions.

They're amazing cars and the best for the price, period. It's hard to build something in your garage that can do all they do for the same amount.

Z06 is nothing like the base that 90% drive, get the Z or nothing

****in lol @ the hate ITT. Yall are telling me the C7 has the same allure it had when it first came out? Something only around ~.5% of the population can and does drive?







I'm seeing everybody with them now, lower middle class, etc. I'm not saying that's a bad thing.


For a car guy they're becoming "meh".

I had the pleasure of being passenger in a 2015 Z51 once, and it was mean as hell. I don't think you can go wrong with a C7 Z51. Not sure you need anymore HP/TQ than that for street use TBH.

You do... come to Houston , we can hit a few spots and you'll see why real quick... lol

1000+rwhp monsters everywhere

You're talking to a guy who daily drives an NA Miata. I'm not much of a straight line speed adrenaline junkie like ya'll are. My enjoyment comes from limitless grip in corners and glorious notchy shifting.

TBH, the Z51 I rode passenger in melted my face on a straight and basically convinced me that big power is not for me. To each their own.

[McLarenGTR]

maybe you should buy a C43 or m340i and then brag to everyone about how you drive an "AMG" or "M", *******.

500hp is perfect for a lightweight street car imo. Even that will kill you easily. Let's not forget the LT1 is torquey as hell. It's no dyno queen.

[need2grow10]

C6 Z06. Fix valves, big cam and deal with interior.

Edit. I'm not saying interior is bad, just normal internet talk everyone says. I drive a 2007 Acura so it's far from nice.

[RobParks2M]

I've been checking out 2017 z06 for sale and it seems like there are a lot of lemon law cars out there? What gives?

Hell yeah man. I took my c7 GS to tail of the dragon, it was the most fun I ever had with my car. The grip and handling was insane over there. The dragon is just a long ass autocross course basically. Going fast in a straight line is overrated af. I am thinking about selling my car and just getting a truck or something now because the roads here don't even compare, or even approach anything close to what the c7 gs can do, the car is wasted on texas roads.

Probably a lot to do with chevy's medium build quality. They come with tons of minor stupid problems like rattles and stuff, which a lot of people don't want to deal with. You can lemon law a car for that kind of stuff if it happens a lot. The drivetrain is generally considered to be stout. But then a lot people barely put miles on these cars so idk how true that is either. Its been pretty legit for me so far 34k on my 2017. 34k is not a lot of miles so i cannot comment on reliability.

I still like C6 Z's better than C7's

c6z is a very aesthetic car. c6 zr1 is one of the most beautiful cars imo.

IDK about you, but once I'm 10 over the speed limit, my anxiety/paranoia levels shoot up to such a degree that I can no longer enjoy myself. Therefore, 500HP is not worth it for any street car I'm driving. As soon as you entertain the idea of it being a track toy, I'm on board.

Good looking car, dude! I'd love to visit there one day in a Miata or S2000. A C7 would be fun too of course. Touge, baby.

you should do it brah. go on a weekday and get your runs in early in the morning; the road is so epic and such a blast. I had way more fun on it than angeles crest hwy. the surrounding roads are fun too but they are more longer sweepers which you can take really fast the dragon is more like one of those roller coasters that change directions really fast on you.

You making it sound like it's a recent phenomenon and everyday people didn't drive previous models of Corvette. Even though it's been "every day person's" supercar for the last what, 40 yrs?

[Gringo12]

I've seen one of these in Australia and you instantly think how retarded the owner is because they cost like $200k AUD here and there's so many betters out there for that money or even half that money

Is TOTD still fun going at or slightly above the speed limit? I read there is a ton of cops there is that true? is it pretty crowded?

lol this, i mean its sold in high enough volumes that there is a huge used market out there for every generation.
