I dig the new c7 and its technical improvements are class leading.

That said....my black 2008 z51 withNPP and manual tranmission isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I enjoy driving this beauty and although it might not be as up to date as the upcoming C7...its still an amazing sports car..

When and if GM ever decides on a dual clutch transmission...I'll make the jump.. to my fourth new corvette...

If I get super anxious ...then I'll just choose from whats available at the time..

I drive my vette everyday and everyone I run into thinks my Narrow body corvette is awesome...

I agree! I really enjoy driving this car....

Technology moves on just enjoy what you have...I like that old gateway commercial where the guy is driving down the road all happy he has the latest and greatest computer, pulls up to a stoplight looking at the billboard with his computer when the guys put a new sign up with a newer model...BTW, the C7 looks awesome

Some just don't know when to stop. The standard body and tires are very wide, but no, they want extra, extra wide tires, with flared fenders to accomodat them, and, oh yea, add some more scoops to make sure, and then add stripes on the fenders, and then, and then, and then.
