Not a youngster tho not as old as you. Just never buy new cause I'm cheap as hell and my available money is limited. Out of the 40+ cars I've had in my life I maybe bought two that were new.

Probably. At least this photo makes the car more attractive and less cartoonish IMHO, non stock wheels or not. Very nice.
Even if I thought this was cooler than Darryl Starbird's Moonbeam I'd still wait a couple of years before actually buying one. Especially considering the relatively poor resale on my C6 trade-in.

I'll take the Vette any day. I've seen the F12 in person and it is a great car but really strange looking to me. The Aston Martin looks a LOT more like the Vette than the F12 does.

I am sure someone who never had a Corvette will purchase one drive it a bit and the decide it is not for him. All you have to do is check out the for sale section in the later part of the first year. Just remember to keep away from the early vin numbers.
That is what happened in the later part of 2005. You can almost count on someone who never had a performance car drive a C7 in the cooler temps and scare the hell out of himself

OX you can just wait for the 3r or 4th year when GM upgrades the rims to reflect this design.
The OEM z51 rims to me need to have a better offset, as in either they needed to be slanted inward or the rim's offset needs to be set deeper into the rim tub.
Also if you like the Cyber Gray your gonna love the Night Race Blue with the same interior.
[QUOTE=BlueOx;1582863897]Please...someone buy this car...just like this!
Then use it lightly for a year or two. Then send me a PM and sell this awesome car to me!!! No modifications please!

And I doubt I'd mod it any. The least liked part for me is the rear end; but I'd still give it a 7 outta 10. Not nearly bad enough to prompt me to buy an aftermarker rear bumper cover.
But, my "For Sale - Low Mileage" email to you would happen in about
10 years... I can't afford to replace my weekend driver at 2-3 year intervals anymore.

If there's no additional gray color added in 2015, my C7 will be exactly like the one you pic'd. looiks like now I will be waiting for the 2015 model year.

I have to wait for wider tires. I don't care if the C7 already handles better than my C6 GS, I just can't fathom a new Corvette with rear tires the size of my fronts now (almost). I just have always loved the fact that the Vette is just "sick". The C7 fit's that bill but there has "got" to be some wide body "looking" tires on that thing. Of course this all subject to change as soon as I sit my "widebody" in the drivers seat at an upcoming car show this year.
