I just jumped ship and bought a C7
I bought my first Corvette 2 years ago a C6 convertible I planned to keep it for 3 years but I make the mistake of visiting Bowling Green this past summer and watch as some of the 1st Grand Sports rolled of the line. This was the beginning of the end for the C6. I like many have not been a fan of the tail lights on the C7s but what a beautiful car! I had a hard time choosing a color they all look great! Being I had a red car even though I love the way they look I decided to try something different I came very close to being a Yellow car with Black stripes but ultimately went with the Blue with White stripes and Red hash mark stripes. I picked up the car today however the stripes will have to be added in a week or two. I'm very happy with the car I put about 150 miles on it during the ride home it's been a few years since I owned a stick shift I made the mistake of buy the C6 in an auto but I did fine however there is plenty of room for improvement
Once the stripes are done I will post pictures.

I want to wait for the Stripes to be complete before I post pictures but it is a common color combo and the cover to many ad photos. This is what it looks like.

Hey David we did the same thing. Went to the Museum and Factory this summer. They had a bunch of GS rolling off the line and the minute I saw them I knew I had to have one.
Traded my 2014 even though it has very low miles for the '17 GS in the color I wanted.
Hey you only live once!
