Default Blue C7

Spotted my first C7 this afternoon in the streets of Manhattan NY. Had dealer plates on it. Was too quick to snap a picture. Looks pretty decent n person.

You'll have to ignore the manners, or lack thereof, of some people here.

I have yet to see one in my area, but am looking forward to seeing a production car on the road myself.

I wonder if it was from Potamkin on 50th and 11th. I can't imagine any other dealer driving one into Manhattan, although they are not known for selling a lot of Corvettes.

I'm looking forward to seeing one too.

Yes, lots of immature posters on here. They like to hide behind their computer and say things they would never say to your face. They think they are being cute but in reality, well, I digress.

thats ok, anyone with a 2000 TA is a loser anyway, people that drive those should not even be allowed on this forum. But its all good. Say what you want, people talk smack when they cant afford something.

Well, I think this would be exciting. I haven't yet seen one myself in person. I don't think there is one C7 vette in El Paso yet.

Unfair comment, IMO. How much money someone has, or makes, depends a lot on luck. Looking down on someone, because they don't have a lot of money is unfair, IMO. I have over 1.3 million bucks, and most of it I inherited. So does that make me a winner? I don't think so.

So some how having a 2000 Trans Am means I'm poor? In fact, the 2000 was actually stolen but replaced with a 2001 Trans Am WS6, but I didn't feel like changing my screen name. My current Trans Am has a stroked LS6, with TEA heads, cam, headers, yada yada yada. It'll run...

But, somehow I'm "poor", but I also have a 2012 Yukon Denali, a Mustang GT (wife's car) and a 1980 Trans AM SE fully restored with a 455. I am planning on getting rid of the '01 T/A for a C7 once my 3 year old is old enough to sit in the front seat. Until then, having a toddler and a two-seater is hard. The T/A is my daily and he loves it.

Regarding my comments to the OP, tell me, what did your post accomplish? You saw one. Great. No pictures, nothing more than most have done that haven't picked one up yet. Big F'ing deal. Your post was stupid.....get over it.

I still would like to see one up close too. Saw two on the highway going in the opposite direction but the dealers around here don't have any even look at.

I can tell you can't read worth a sh#t. You might want to reread this thread. I haven't seen a C7, I'm not the one knocking people for being poor. Slamminc6 was the one talking trash about someone who couldn't afford one. Not me. Clean up your act BAD2000TA, you idiot.

Slamminc6 was the one talking trash about someone who couldn't afford one. Guess he's into throwing out cheap shots.
