I've loved owning my C7 for the last 10 1/2 months. Only needed the PI1101B update and it was done without a problem along with the first free oil/filter change.


The '14 machined faced wheels were a disappointment IMO, but love those now offered in '15.

Not me...I just went to the Chevrolet site and did a build your own. A '15 that is similar to my '14 now has an MSRP 4,330 more than what I paid. For what, an 8 speed transmission? I'm very VERY happy with my '14 and with the 4330.00 extra in my pocket.

Love my 2014 Z-51 ordered 9-13 got 1-21-14,saved 6,400 dollars by getting the 2014.Yes the 2015 has the PDR,and 8 speed but that's it. The two items not worth $6,400 more to me.

I do not track my Z-51.R

I got the M7, and my current build is now 5K$ more if I were to build out a 2015. So my answer is a "No, not at all".

The only thing a 2015 would have that I don't have is the PDR. And an additional $5K+ MSRP increase. And I would have missed driving it for the past 7 months. And the 2015 does not have HD radio that the 2014's have. I have the MN7, so 8 speed auto is of no concern to me.


I'm glad I didn't wait.

I agree with the 5K+ savings. I too did a build of the 15' just out of curiosity and the savings is quite huge. Thank you for the wonderful feedbacks without any hate.
Anyway, cheers!

Why do you regret not waiting?

I'm coming up on my first anniversary, and don't regret getting a 2014 at all. In fact, I would have missed out on getting LRG if I had waited.

The 2016 is the one to have. Think of all the improvements it'll have.

I almost bought a 2014 last week but I decided to order a 2015 instead. It was a simple dollars and cents decision. I am going to do a lease on this car and the lease for the 2015 was MUCH better. It was a much higher residual so the lease was way cheaper. I always lease my toys and buy my daily drivers. Only problem now is the wait is going to kill me
