Default So...what is going to be your next car purchase?

I love the Vette but I know I will end up selling it in the future for something different to play with. How about you? I won't be going to a C7.

Probably a tahoe.

Oh for SPORTS CAR?

I'll choose based on the availability of a manual transmission, and prowess.

Ferrari - out
Lambo - out
Aston - out
Audi - out

GM, please remember your roots...

Lots of fantastic cars to choose from...great time to be a car enthusiast.

I really like the C7 Z06 but living in Canada, I don't think I'll be able to source a Canadian car for a couple of years...and I don't intend to purchase a US sourced Z06...

...consider a Viper TA 2...

or maybe a Mustang GT350; the flat-plane crankshaft, naturally aspirated, 8200 rpm redline engine would be great to rev, row the gears, and listen to!

...All kinds of other great cars...

Ahhh... to dream during winter.

So when, in the next few years, not a single car is offered with a manual clutch transmission, you're never driving again? Going to start riding that bicycle? Rollerblades? They're both still manual.

Looking at Viper and C7Z06, personally. Would love a REAL dct or pdk type transmission in either, if the manual transmission goes away sooner than later. Not this shortcut transmission GM has created. Until then manual for me.

Maybe another C7 or a C8!

I don't know what it will be, but if it is as good as the current gen, then I will, if I can.

A new 2015 GMC Denali Crew cab is next.

I would love to step up to a C6ZR1 in a few years.

Don't know yet. Probably keep my C6 for awhile. For sure, my next car won't be a C7.

Really need something practical with a back seat. Will definitely consider a Hellcat Charger.

I've been mulling over a C7 in DSOM but I have so much work into my C6 I really want to keep it for awhile. When the time comes, I will take a look at the viper too.

Definitely a C7, hopefully within three years (it won't be new, so the timing depends on how long it takes for the used prices to hit the mid to low 30s here)

Yup. Between my wife's lower back issues and the impending arrival of a second grandchild . . . . . Btw, Dodge now has the 2015 "build your own on line."

I HAD to have a C5 until I saw one. Never did buy one but bought a C6 without ever even sitting in one. I wasn't in love with the C7 before I saw one like the C5 so there is little to get me into one. Hopefully the C7 will have a short run like the C5 and I'll get a C8. Like Star Trek ,movies, even number Corvettes rule!

Since I just bought my 08 the next car/truck will probably be a replacement Suburban for the wife
