Are you satisfied or content with your C7 or thinking of upgrading?
I purchased my C7 Convertible new in October of last year. It is a '16 with a 7 speed manual with the FE2 Suspension (Base suspension with Mag Ride). I did a couple of upgrades to it, such as the Z51 front and rear matching sway bars, a Borla ATAK axleback exhaust (had standard NON NPP exhaust) plus the Z06 Stage 1 splitter and GM mud guards. I have to say that I am completely satisfied with the car as is and have no desire to upgrade to a GS or a Z06. I know many of us get the " bug" to upgrade in model and was just curious if you are content with what you have or are thinking of upgrading soon.

I'm with you. While I admire the power and track prowess of the GS and Z06, I prefer the looks and sleeker body of the Stingray and I'm more than happy with the LT1 power. It can get me into trouble real quick, if I'm not careful...Only thing that I was unhappy with was the NPP exhaust wasn't quite loud enough for me, but it would be the same situation if I owned a GS or Z06. With that said, it wasn't anything that some long tube headers and high flow cats couldn't fix.
Whenever I'm at the end of one of my car's warranty I either trade or mod. Modding is a dangerous game though if you pick the wrong building and chances are you'll never get $.05 on your mod-dollar back. This time I went with everything I thought I'd ever want - 2016 Callaway SC 757 Z06. I can honestly say my next car will most likely have less horsepower.

I have the 2016 with the 3LT Z51 options and I could not be any more pleased. No, I will not be upgrading to anything else because this sucker has more power than any sane person needs and has already almost gotten me in trouble.
I think all C7's are works of art and it sure is nice to be privileged enough to have one.
Going on 2 years now with my base '15 and still drool when I see it. There will always be better cars out there but I consider myself lucky to have what I have.
I updated from a 2014 Stingray Convertible to a 2017 Stingray Convertable. Same options - M7, 2LT, Navigation/PDR, just a different color. More than happy, love Apple Car Play and the front cameras.
I just test drive a Porsche 911 today. Wow what a different sports car you know where your money went. Amazing car with a high maintenance cost
$350 for oil change every 10k. Made me frown. Lol
Content with my 2015 Convertible. This was my first convertible and I love it. BUT waiting to see what the 2018 will bring to the table, that could be a game changer for me.

I would like to upgrade to a Torch Red 2018 GS 3LT but the A8 problems will have to be solved or I will be waiting for a model year that has a A10. So right now I am satisfied with my 2014 A6 Torch Red Z51 3LT VERT!
Gary by the way your 16 VERT looks AWESOME!
