Default If you are considering whether to go C6 or C7....

I thought this would be good to share. Both are great...but some things you may want to consider... More of the comparison to come. Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss the next upload.

The channel

The comparison video...starting with the interior...relevant even if not considering Z06.

More room inside a C6. C7s are tight inside. But with the C7, you get that cool hidden compartment behind the radio.

Ad nauseam is a Latin term for argument or other discussion that has continued 'to [the point of] nausea'. For example, the sentence "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam" signifies that the topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it.

Give'em a break guys... This has probably been sitting in queue for 4 years. When he finally signed back in today he realized he'd never actually click the "Submit New Thread" button 4 years ago.

Problem with the C7, with the C8 mid engines coming out, the C7's are going to take a major hit in resale price. If you can buy one after the major exodus to the C8's after the C7 prices stabilize again, then maybe then would be the ideal time instead. The C6 is will be a few gens old when the C8 comes out, so no major hit in resale value isntead.

As for the C8's, with them already have electrical wiring problems delaying release, can just Guess the other problems that that the cars are going to have until they get all the bugs worked out on the mid engine design. Hence may not be until the C9 that the mid engine car becomes the one to own isntead.

So to throw one more option in the mix, Audi R8V10 has had all it problems resolved now, and may be the better option for a mid engine car than the C8 instead.

It will be many, many, many more years before there's a C67. Gotta have a C9, then a C10, etc., and a C66, before there's a C67.

The C8s price point is going to be so high, that it will be out of range for many a Corvette fan. However, as you mentioned, the C8 pushing down on the C7 resale, will be the just enough to make a C7 more realistic for many.

Interesting, my buddies C7 with the jacked-up screen is also a 2014. Probably not a good idea to buy the first year production.

Im def going to get a C7 when the C8 drops their price. C6 is amazing.. dont get me wrong. But the C7 is just a better all around car. Period. Not debatable.

If the C7 takes a major hit in resale value, it will only drag the C6 down with it.
