Funny how the only ones offended by the obsolete comments are C6 owners, if you're that butthurt about what people say about your car maybe you shouldn't own a car. My C5 is obsolete compared to the C7, you can shout that from the top of Mt. Everest, I really couldn't GAF, hell my Grand National is down right ancient compared to practically anything '88 and newer, once again I couldn't GAF, do you guys think about committing suicide if someone tells you they don't like the color of your car?

The new c7 is beautiful and I am sure technically it has evolved Into a superior sports car compared to the c6.....
Still the c6 is an excellent sports car as well.
I don't understand what the big deal is.

How do you feel about the 1968 427/435? Obsolete? Or an icon?
Well that's what you have in the C6Z06. I hope the LS7/427 is done in the Vette for now. That will just solidify it in history.
IMO the C7 falls right in line with the C3. Obviously not from a performance aspect. But from an over the top view. Following an epic run of Vettes in the C6 and trying just a little too hard to surpass. It's just too busy, like a Ferrari kit car or a ricer, something is just not right... Maybe the C7Z cars will be a little better.
But hey, you know what they say about opinions right?

BTW, the car's whole body is basically plastic. Or carbon fiber, which is pretty ricey also. Loads of cars have stock 'fangs' to some degree.

Again, I think they tried a little too hard this time. Still a Vette, still a cool car. Just a dumb thread really, the car isn't even out yet and the C6 is obsolete?

Hey, just by reading some of the comments made towards you you're probably one of the most hated posters in this section, how does that feel loser?
Why don't you see how many ignore lists you can make today.

Your comments are so asinine, you're just another butthurt C6 owner who cries himself to sleep at night because you're little car isn't the latest and greatest, not that it ever was.

If the guys who design and build the Corvette say the C6 is now obsolete because of the C7, i'm more inclined to believe them than some anonymous people on a forum. The pride they have for Corvette has to be above our own, as they are the ones who turn each generation into reality.

Even Tadge has no loyalty to the evolution of the vehicle. Any inclination for a C7 has taken another hit in my future. What a Bozo.
I'm sure that Carroll Shelby frequently said that the 289 Cobra was obsolete after the 427 came out.
I'd bet you that Dr. Porsche called the 356 obsolete after the 912/911 were introduced.
Maybe for Tadge he doesn't differentiate between the Vette and the Malibu in his sales approach.

Yes, the C6 will be obsolete. Whats the point? C5, C4, C3, C2, and the C1 are obsolete as well.
Usually every change of model year brings improvements. Unless you have unlimited funds it is impossible to stay on top with the newest and latest. I am fine with that.
Is your wife obsolete because she can no longer have children? Some things get better with age

I'm betting you were picked on in the schoolyard at the all girls prep school that you attended.
