The C7 just doesn't appeal to me, I like the looks of the C6 better. Now if someone gave me the fob to a new C7 I sure would take it.

The C7 is a Corvette. C1 to C7, there are no bad choices.

Love the C6 but also love the C7. Won't give up my 07 for one, hope to have both.

I agree, that is not why I bought it.

Unless your talking Z06 the horsepower thing is nothing big, 436 vs 460. 24 horsepower does not make me want a newer model. I personally don't like cylinder deactivation and the jury is out on direct injection & how well it'll last for 2 to 300k miles. Having sat in many over the years at Carlisle the cockpit is cramped, especially the passenger side. There's too many creases and sharp edges to compliment that hideous rear end. The Z06 is overheating, there's still problems with the 8spd auto in the 17 model. I'll keep my gorgeous trouble free GS with the bulletproof LS3..

thegame

To be fair your just taking some of the stuff you read and thinking it's fact. First of all the LT1 is superior to the LS3 and while 24 horsepower isn't a huge bump the LT1 has only 5 less torque than the C6 Z06 LS7. It is a great motor. The v4 mode sucks you are right but I turned that off with a diablo tuner the first week I got my car. Direct injection is fine and more efficient. Many other car companies have gone that route before the Corvette did.

Looks are always subjective but the A8 is stronger and a better trans than the A6 in the auto C6 cars. The troubles are also well blown out of proportion. Mine is a 15 A8 and has 620rwhp and not a hiccup. Both the C6 and the C7 are great cars and everyone should obviously love the one that is in their garage

I was really thinking about buying a 2017 Grand Sport, do to the price, but I might just keep my C6.

$57,023 out the door price for a GS with a $73,620 sticker price is really a good deal ....

I personally do not like the C7 in the least. I find it designed poorly in the sense of it having all these meaningless folds and ridges. It's overwrought like the new Lambo with all those ducts.

to me it looks more like a Hot Wheels toy than a real auto.

I'd agree the price is right unless you ask why the price is down from $73k to $57k. That's not just a huge discount, that's a worrisome one.

I'm not a big fan of the C7 nor am I a big fan of widebody. But put those two together and man do you have one mean and ferocious sexy car. Other than that, it's C6 for me.

Snowwolfe

Thanks, I "built" the one I am buying using the discount. MacMulkin was still a lower price option.

Turbo6TA

The Military Discount price has nothing to do with MacMulkin Chev. That discount is out of GM's pocket, not the dealership.

MacMulkin should be able to get you a 13% discount off the MSRP (window sticker price) on the car too ... Completely separate

And if you still own a Vette, get the $2,000 Loyalty rebate from GM too.

Look again at the photo of the deal I posted above.

Yes, been discussed to death. But I love the looks of the C6 widebody the best. If i could get the C7 interior in a C6... Perfect

everything runs very well, interior roomier, and atomic orange still knocks folks out.

I wonder how many of the people who like the C7's better have actually sat in one? I'm 5'9" 190 and just fit. It's cramped and the center console comes up so high its claustrophobic. My buddy who's 6'3" 300lbs well...I took pictures of him in it. Deal breaker.

I bought a VY '09 Z06 with 5k miles on it instead for $20k less. I'm putting in a '13 steering wheel, MGW shifter and looking for better seats. The seats are very comfortable but don't have enough side bolster.

thegame

I keep reading that and don't understand why people keep saying that. I am 6"1 and 225lbs and I have plenty of room. I admit the interior does feel more like a cockpit, almost like the C4 vette or to be honest the Audi R8 I recently drove but I had plenty of room. The C6 interior looks like a big chevy Cavalier, old and dated to the extreme.

All the forum vendors list the Loyalty rebate of $2,000 but none of them list a military discount on cars in inventory.

All Corvette dealers would be advertising the military discount if they could offer it on in stock inventory. I admit, the entire thing is confusing so am guessing dealers have to agree to participate. The following was taken from GM's web site:

AT THE DEALERSHIP
CAN I RECEIVE THIS DISCOUNT FROM ANY GM DEALER?

This program is available through all participating U.S. GM Dealers and is voluntary on the part of the dealers. Dealer participation is on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis. Please inform your dealer of your intention to use the GM Military Discount during your first contact with your dealer. If your dealer elects not to participate, you may visit another dealer.

Its more like you wear the C7 than sit in it. The dash sits closer to you and the cockpit is more narrow.

My 6 3" 300lb buddy is the perfect measure. In the C7 he has to sit in a fetal position with his knees up and his head bent down. We were lucky to get the door closed. It so ridiculous I took a cell phone picture.

In my C6 he's so comfortable he fell asleep on the driving trip picking it up.

What else can I say?

RHEACERDAVE

C6 GS for the win. C7 looks copied IMHO.
