I have a neighbor who has a 16 model C7. Nice enough guy. He said that he and 4 other C7 drivers were getting together to go to this Saturdays "Cars and Coffee" which always has a good crowd. He ask me to join them. Meet, drive in together, all park in a row.

Met with them for drinks and make plans this afternoon. Well according to two of the four I should be outlawed. I bought a used corvette did I get a Carfax, inspection by vin number? My 05 Z51 is old school. I must be poor and not to able to afford a C7. I do not have the original window sticker, wheels, etc.. I have ruined the vette when I installed cam, headers, exhaust, and upgrades. I should have kept all the parts so someone could put it back stock. I should not of put 72,000 miles on the car. Even with the upgrades any base C7 will smoke my ***.

I explained anyone can buy a new car. Mines not a garage queen it is just my toy, The car is built the way I want it, a hot rod not a queer show car overloaded with stick on, bolt on. off the shelf amazon stuff.

Sorry I don't fit in your group or agree with your thinking. I am not into the C7 design but not knocking any of yours. And for your information more than likely I have more money in the bank than all four of you combined, so I will pass on meeting up Saturday. So big man kiss my *** have a nice evening I am out of here.

That was after only two beers. Glad we got this worked out before I had a few more. Now I know why they don't wave.

 

Any C7 owner who frows on another generation is a fking ********.

 

 

They are out there though.

Last time I checked they can't prevent you from going to a public place. We have a local exotic club that a lot of the people put their noses up with "lesser" cars even though most newer Vettes can keep up with their cars and go a lot further on gas.

 

Those guys sound like a bunch of dicks, and sadly, just like the stereotypical Vette owner. They were wrong about one thing though, a base model isn't going to smoke a C6 as it only has about 23 HP more. I ran against one on a roll, and I ended up smoking him because he couldn't keep up with my Z51 gearing. He was pissed. It was brand new (still had paper tags) and he had his girlfriend in the car. I just waved as I left them behind.

 

 

That is the reason why I avoid clubs and groups like that because they are too cliche. I am into cycling and that exact thing happened to me. I did not have the $12,000.00 latest bike, nor the high end riding shorts or jersey. Although I left all of them in the dust when on the road. After an hour with them I took off and never saw them again. I am also into model railroading and the same crap happened. So when i got the Vette, I became "The Lone Ranger". I say hello "wave" on the road and that's about it. I don't need anyone to live my own dream.

 

Classic, you should of just stood up paid your tab and said "Adios MF'ers", I don't need this crap

I have owned 25 vettes from all of the first 6 generations and when I go to a corvette get together I am there to see the early vettes. If I want to see a C7 I can go to my local Chevy dealers showroom.

To me the C7 is just a warmed over C6 with nothing that couldn't have been introduced during the C6's run. The C8 that is coming is what the C7 would have been.if GM hadn't gone into bankrupsy during the C7 design period. The head Corvette engineer admitted that in a interview and said they were shooting for a mid engine vette prior to the financial problems causing a delay that did not allow a complete new design.

 

 

 

Maybe they were just annoyed that you don't know the difference between have and of.

 

Any generation Vette is welcome to cruise with me.

 

So some of those guys are Jerks. Move on and have fun with your car!

 

Amen, brother! The ONLY Vette owners who don't wave back to me when I do are C7 owners. They must think they are driving a Ferrari.

 

Like was posted above all generations have their jerks. Some C7 owners wave and some don't. Just like some C6 owners will wave at me when I was in my C4 and others would not. More owners would not wave at the C4.

 

Same here.....started some biking just for basic health recovery, get some strange looks as I dont have the egg helmet and dorky clothes.

OP you can into the "Corvette Queers"...you are obviously a car guy to didnt buy one to overcompensate.
Funny thing is they drive the same car as you do yet they are somehow better....probably henpecked as hell at home, too. You know the type.
All wanna pretend they own some rare collector car...to me they are just nuts bolts and parts meant to be used up.

 

A real bunch of azzholes, I would tell your neighbor that!!!!! C7 guys around here are the same, stuck up snobs!!! I blow my cigar smoke toward them at cruise nights!!!

 

Men..Forgive my rant as I was still pissed last night. I have drag raced, had street cars, had custom vans, over 30 years riding Harleys. I have always been a solo act as clubs and I do not see thing the same. Just thought than being older I might change....NOT happening.

 

I'm older than you and have never been interested in clubs. I used to meet for coffee with a group of retired Corvette owners. They sat for hours talking about the same nonsense. I finally got tired of it and quit meeting with them. I never bought coffee though because I won't give Starbucks any of my money.
