OP: I am glad you are happy with your car. You should be!

I have the same thoughts about my upgrade.

Will see how relability will be as my C6 was really good.

If you are still not decided on getting a C7, I say Do It !! You won't regret it.

Well done chevy

Just let my friend who owns a full boltons 2007 M6 Z51 C6 drive the C7 (just to confirm i wasnt biased towards my C7).

his first comment in the first 5 min of driving (Wow! This feels so much different the C6), Overall his comments were exactly similar to mine and Patentcad. C7 is just in a another level Compared to the C6.

Im sure No C6 owner will beleive this until they drive the C7, the car is really really Good, give it a shot guys.

Good Job GM I just hope reliability will be similar or better than my ex C6. Time will tell.

That is exactly how they compare. No knock on the C6, it's a fantastic car, certainly the best sub $50K sports car hands down. The C7 is more like a contemporary supercar. In today's age of rapid tech advancement, 10 years is a very long time, and it really shows on the C7 vs. the C6, I was absolutely amazed - not immediately - but within about 5 days I realized it was a whole new ballgame.

I got the car on a cold winter Monday night. All that week I barely drove it, it was sub-freezing, I work all day, so I only drove it easy at night. That next Saturday I got a chance to drive it on a sunny 45ºF day - about 75 miles of mostly highway but some country road twisties. That had to be the most amazing automotive revelation I have ever personally experienced. Very cool.

I grew up with and always wanted a C5. My favorite car ever without a doubt. Eventually I will get around to picking up one if I see one I like.

The C7 is in a completely different class though.

Used to own:
2000 C5

Currently own:
1996 C4
2007 C6

Just bought:
2017 C7 GS

As an earlier post stated, you would expect every new generation to improve upon the previous generation, but having one of each from the last four iterations, I can absolutely say the the C7 is an order of magnitude above the previous models. And I only have 350 miles on it, lol....

I'm guessing you only have room for 3 such as myself. Not sure if it's a blessing or a curse.

I own both, and there is no contest, the C-7 is head and shoulders above a C-5 (and thus a C-6 since they're pretty much the same car)
I owned a C5 before I got my C7. There is no comparison between the two beyond the name "Corvette."
