Default 2015 C7 Vert Z51 2LT or 2013 427 Vert?

I know a bunch of you guys have come from the C6 format so I have to ask.

I have the opportunity to buy a 2013 427 convertible with 5,000 miles on it for $55K. I can also get GMS pricing on a 2015 convertible with 2lt, Z51 and automatic for around $63K.

Which do you think is the better car?

Um... let's see. A C6 that was designed some 10-12 years ago or one that was designed 2-3 years ago. No contest.

Unless you really have to have the LS7 I see no other reason . The Stingray is finally a complete corvette inside and out.

A C6 owner commenting here - that was set to buy the C7 until I didn't like the fit... no extra words needed - lots of threads on that.
Back to your question - if you're ok with the auto - then C7 without a question!
Hope you enjoy your new ride!

I had a 427 Convertible last year and I really liked it! Traded it because I bought on a whim and realized I bit off more than I could chew financially. With that said.... the C7 is a better car and was a lot less money. The C6 427 is unique as a 1 year model, however it is still old tech. Go for the C7!

We own both my wife drives the Z51 and the 427 is my weekend car 1,600 miles. They are very different cars. There is a lot more room in the 427, I am cramped in the Z51. I love both cars best Corvettes ever and we have owned C3's forward some 20 plus. I just can't get over how fun the 427 is to drive I have a blast everytime I take it out. The LS7 sounds great, pulls hard and I think you get more feel of the road from the steering wheel. You should drive both cars and see what you prefer. Either way you will have a great car.

I traded my C6 for my C7. Haven't missed the C6 for one second.
