I believe that the 2014 has been probably the least problematic year of the gen.

Rarely hear of a peep of a problem from that year.

I agree. Moreover, C6 and C7 have significant engine differences, e.g., C7 has AFM (8 cyl to 4 cyl) but C6 does not. I happen not to like AFM, but you may like the improved fuel economy that it provides.

I care because I would like to see some pictures of your 63 Corvette that you . "only had out of the garage twice in the last 2 years".

You might want to stay with a C6 - the C7 might be too Techy for a guy who cant post a photo.- but Cheers and So my input would be this - I have two C6 Grand Sports -- a 2012 and a 2013 both M6, best car ever - and yes I have driven a C7 -- dont like the Sardine in a can feel.

Just good natured ribbing here Snowboarder!
Seriously, (and I’m not insinuating you’re doing this) why jump all over a guy because he’s not sure how to post a photo?
Last time I checked, it’s not a prerequisite to be a forum member.

I’ve had few problems with buying first year vehicles and I’ve bought a bunch. While most want to wait it out, I’m driving one. 85 Cad Fleetwood and 99 GC Limited easily the worst ever for me. I’d go with a newer body style. Any issues (if any) should have been addressed long ago.
