Default Want A Brand New Vette Buy Not A C7

I have my '13 GS that I bought new for 3 1/2 years now. I absolutely adore the car and always look forward to driving it (although it is not a daily driver, I have a Caddy Deville for that). It's time for a new car and I will only drive a Corvette but I do not like the C7, never did. I have drove a couple of them and I see nothing special about them, especially the narrow body. Now the new Grand Sport is coming out and the wide body does have some appeal to me, but not enough right now to purchase one. I still think the C6 wide bodies are the epitome of what a Corvette should look like and the best looking Vette to date. I want a new Corvette! What do I do.

Great car, but it is not new. I think I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Find a low mileage ZR1.

Best of ALL worlds.

Or just supercharge your GS. That's what i'm doing after warranty expires in december.

Put a C67 kit on the front end of your C6. Best of both worlds. The good looks of a C7 front end but with the roomier interior of your C6. That is, assuming that like most people that the C7 rear end does'nt turn you on.

I thought of that, my warranty expired in April. But I still want that feel and smell of driving that brand new Corvette off the showroom, just not a C7. lol

Oh, you want a NEW NEW Corvette, not a "new to you" Corvette. But NOT a C7!

That kind of limits your choices..................Severely!

You know that's not a bad idea, I do like my GS that much to hold it for three more years. And being the rumors are saying it's going to be a mid engine coming in 2018 as a 2019 model, yea I could live with that. Plus the C7 is already obsolete with the mid engine coming.

Your thread really doesn't make sense though man, just saying.

How can you want something brand new when the C7 is the brand new vette?

Just get a 2017 Grand Sport. You said it does appeal to you.
Why wait for something that hasnt even been unveiled yet?(C8)

This is the dumbest question ever. The only NEW corvettes are C7's. Now if you want a used corvette, but new to you then get a Z06 or a ZR1. Pretty simple answer IMO.
