Been using nothing but Nvidia cards for years, and always purchase EVGA.
I've never had an EVGA card fail, and their drivers are far less buggy, and updates are more frequent than Radeon.
There are some folks that swear by Ati Radeon cards, but I'm just not a fan.

Only Green! Years ago I used Radeon cards, but I grew tired of their buggy Catalyst drivers.

Overall I like the C7 and think GM did a good job on it, but I love my C6, especially since I added the blower and it's up to 600RWHP. The C7 Z06 is definitely nice, but I'm not interested in running out to get one, honestly when I'm reading the reviews what I typically find myself thinking is "I've got the HP, my suspension (MSRC) and brakes are great, the only things I'd really like are the PTM and e-diff". Plus while I like the C7 looks, I think it looks too busy compared to the C6GS. Now I could definitely see myself picking up a used C7Z auto convertible in a few years to use as a daily driver and keep the GS for having fun.

Not going to see any 6' + bodybuilders, ball players or just big guys getting out of them

Nope, still hasn't grown on me. I see way too many around here, all driven by old guys who just wax their car. Doesn't have that mean look the Z06 has. I'll be waiting for the c7z06 and maybe it will spark my interest...

I will never give up my C6 vert (first corvette ever, will probably keep it forever and pass it on to my oldest son) but I'm not going to say I won't buy a C7. I was on the fence until I dropped off my suburban yesterday for some service work at the local Chevy dealer and walked into the showroom and saw this..........
Love it or hate it, but this color combo cemented my decision for me. They had a white vert, and a red coupe as well but they were plain looking compared to this one.

Wow, what a difference color can make! That car looks gorgeous.
I guess how well I perceive the C7, has a lot to do with how the black plastic trim, vents etc., deals with the body color.
It looks like the color in the photo is Daytona Sunset Orange, and it compliments the trim very well, as does Black, and Silver, imo.

It's actually more stunning and vibrant in person too. I sent my wife a picture of it with a text that read "you can add this to my x-mas wish list".

Yeah they are put up for the winter but the Jag is all stock. It does have a 4.2 V8 that is supercharged from the factory. It has about the same amount of HP as my Vette but it's a lot heavier due to the 4 doors. I'll get a shot of them together in the spring.

Most ppl inherently have a problem with change. There's 5 stages to 'change.' Not everyone is capable of accepting change.

Sounds like something they would teach in an OLS class. My favourite one was... studies have shown that most employees want to be given more duties and responsibilities not more money. 
People want change when it's change for the better. That, as one of my old profs used to say is intuitively obvious to the casual observer. If it weren't true we wouldn't have an immigration problem.
