Default C6>>>>c7>>>>c8 :-)

Hello, my friends... and even though 'No-One' agrees with me 'that's fine', use to that... (Especially after 30 plus years of marriage) lol Anyway back in the day, we owned 15 Corvettes, and our C6 is the first new one..and.. amazes me, why (anyone), would ever want a C7, I know you'll make 'personal attacks', because you're not wanting to address the issue, to reply with an (intelligent) response... I Got-It:-)
and.. unlike (a lot), of people My wife worked 2 jobs and I worked 3 to pay for them...
Point is... What kind of person, actually LQQKS, at this (C7), Copy-Cat Corvette, and would waste (THEIR)-money on it? I mean, ( It has a Ferrari Front-end and A Camaro Rear End )...So Why purchase a Two-seat Camaro, for at least double the price?
and.. YES... Zora Arkus-Duntov, would turn-over in his grave, (MY-HERO!).. GOOGLE-IT !!!
and.. Yes, I still (TRY) to be Friends, as per not only Corvette Owners, but, all people, until they can't place an intellectual sentence together...
C8>> Will wait.. for it, if still above ground, and not a ( COPY-CAT )..Thank-you, Bob
We can agree to disagree, I have no problem with that....
and.. Keep your little Smiles, out of it, just indicates, you can't express yourself..

Why do people waste $ on anything?

If you buy the car/drive it and it gets you from point A to point B, how is it a waste?

It is a car, not a kidney...relax

Do you have a new stove, TV, toaster or phone that someone else would say is no better than the old one?

I guess the only real intelligent response is to wish you luck and enjoy the C6, beautiful cars and forver will be. To each his own.

The basic flaw in your tirade is that your opinion is the only correct opinion. Fine, you don't like the looks of the C7. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Likewise, I am entitled to my opinion and I think the C7 design is fantastic. Since I like it, I would not be wasting my money on it any more than I wasted my money buying a C5 or a C6 (I liked both of them too).

The interrior alone is enough to make me want this car.

Then you add in a great motor, great suspension, great chassis and what could go wrong.

OP, get what you want and enjoy what you have. If you like what you have, then all is well.

The 7 appeals to others, myself included; it doesn't to you. No biggie. Drive what flips your skirt.

It amazes me that somebody would come to a C7 enthusiast forum and post such rubbish.. Maybe you should quit trolling the C7 forum go back to the Ford or Dodge forum where you belong!

As you duly noted, nobody would agree with you. Clearly you are NOT a C7 enthusiast and have nothing logical let alone sensible to contribute. Time to grow up and run along! I'm sure your pitiful and worthless observations (opinions) would be welcome with the Mustang or Camaro crowd!

Clearly what the OP lacks in intellect, he makes up for with stupidity.

I guess you need to stay on the C6 forum. You may get some sympathy. The C6 is a great car. The C7 is an upgrade. You don't need to like it. Just like what you have. Stay there.
