This is the HOUSE OF C7? The car is not even out
How will you react if someone who buys C7 have something critical to say about it? Will you send them away as well? If someone has a comment about the upcoming car and you do not like it, you will do whatever it takes to shut them up? This seems to be the way and it does not work out too well for either of the sides. You may want to think about it, you or anybody else ain't no Great C7 Wizzards

Its no different watching the same C6 trolls come here day after day to complain about the C7. Than it is watching a troll like ColoradoC6 come to pretty much ANY thread on Corvette Forum and talk about why his BMW or new Porsche is better than a Corvette.
Instead of complaining about what you dont like.
Go to the forum that participates in conversation about things you do like.

I will own a C7 before some of the most rabid fanboys on here.Sounding like a broken record, but I had earlier pointed out how members here are "not allowed" to voice any criticism of the C7. It's a new design guys! It should be thought provoking! It should draw comments! And... gasp!... some of those comments may not agree with each other. It seemed almost Orwellian that everyone here is "required" not to merely like the C7 (which I do!) but to love it unconditionally. Then to prove your unconditional love, you are required to turn around and bash the C6. WOW!
Despite the fact that I like the C7 and look forward to seeing it in person, I got attacked for pointing out the totalitarian "thought police" attitude of the C7 fan club.
I know, I know, I know, I've stated this about three times now.

However, I for one am probably going to like the C7 Stingray a lot better than a base C6. The more I read about all of the technology and capabilities that have been packed into it... it makes me more and more eager to jump in one and go for a drive.
That being said, a C6 doesn't suddenly become a Model A Ford.

Where does your car live? In LA LA Land since I seriously doubt you own C7? I will actually reserve the final judgment until after the car happens in real life. Until that time, I'll hang around.

You've missed some threads and posts, then.

As I have said over and over. All Corvettes are great! Each era had it's own character. All are appreciated for what they are. I would never knock any of them.

The C7 should make the C6 obsolete, or GM failed...miserably. That's a fact. All the goons screaming that Tadge put his foot in his mouth, are the ones who should extract their foot.
The C7 should obsolete it because:
1. Why buy it if it didn't?
2. Racing requires innovation and reinvention
3. Everyone else is moving forward in the high end sports car sector...shouldn't Corvette?
Does the C7's innovation and pending release make C6's worth less...maybe yes...the ones on the dealer lot, but in the grand scheme they will depreciate like any other car. Anytime a new model is pending release, it's going to make the remaining models on the dealer lot tough to sell...regardless of what anyone says. Anyone who is in Corvettes corner should WANT to hear Tadge say that otherwise you must be wishing for some mediocre product.

Obsolete to me means so far behind the times it can't compete when the c6 obviously can. Now maybe the c6 interior is obsolete because boy that c7 interior and gage LCD looks really really nice.

I think people take obsolete to mean crap or not up to standard which the c6 definitely is not crap and is certainly still up to standard. Tadge is trying to sell cars. Truth is performance wise the c7 is an improvement but hardly renders the c6 obsolete when a simple tune and headers makes the c6 a faster car most likely.

our whole world is built on sales and companies have to keep feeding us the latest and greatest in order to keep the economic machine humming along
could you imagine what would happen if everyone was suddenly content. they just were fine with their old cars, computers etc

Adjective
No longer produced or used; out of date.
Verb
Cause (a product or idea) to be or become obsolete by replacing it with something new: "we're obsoleting last year's designs".
Obsolete isn't a bad thing, so by all meaning of the definition, the C6 is obsolete, not a big deal.
