It took about three years of me fighting with myself but I finally came over to the C7 ! I bought one of the last new 2013 GS vettes in our area . I kept telling myself I just did not like the looks of the 7's . My brother inlaw bought a new 2014 as soon as they came out . Now i loved my GS and only had 8900 miles on it . Finally last week on a spur of the moment I drove a z51 LT1 ! Oh man I fell in love , now if I can learn how to program everything ! This is number 10 and it is torch red ! As I always say ( if it is not red it needs painting !

tmd937,

My exact thoughts and exactly what I did too. In December I started looking at C7's again. I found a nice 1 owner 2014, Z51 1lt in Florida and bought it.

My C6 is For Sale (here).

Congratulations!
