Default Leaving C5 moving on to 2017 GS

Just wanted to goodbye and thank you to everyone in the C5 section. People here are great always helping others out with info , problem solving, what to look for ,etc. I did more viewing than posting , I learned something new every time I'm on this forum. I really enjoyed my 04, A4, TR, but decided to move on to a 2017 GS. I will always have great memories of my 04 and my first Corvette . Thanks Dave

Congrats on getting a GS and best of luck with the car. Also, hope you find the C7 section as fun and informative as the C5 section was.

Congrats on your new C7 ! It's a beauty.

I hope to own one someday. (Realistically not until after the C8 is out and the used C7 resale values drop quite a bit) Even base 1LT Stingray sellers ask for mid to high 40's which is barely a 5k difference from a new one on discount from one of the high volume Corvette dealers. Right now, you'd be crazy not to just buy a new one.

Congrats on the new Grand Sport. You will love it. I have a new Z06 and it's a beast. Still love the C5. It's all good. Have fun with it

Congrats and is it OK if I am jealous?

The C7 is an awesome machine and the GS moves the C7 up a notch more!

As much as I love my C5 I would love to be in your shoes. Stay safe and enjoy. Don't forget to wave to the C5!

I am a little envious as well. Love my C5 but if given the means I would get into a C7 GS as well. Best of luck with the new ride.
