Default Three year old Z51




Best car I have ever owned. I continue to be amazed at the attention it gets EVERYWHERE I go, 100% of the time. Even after three years, I still get the gawkers and inquiries and compliments. I've had a lot of cool cars over the years, including many corvettes. But they got not even 10% of what attention this car gets. I continue to be amazed. In my opinion this is the golden age for corvettes, with the C7.


It has converted me, who was a die hard C2 owner. I had many C2's including some which would be extremely valuable today, including NCRS Top Flight and Bloomington Gold, for those of you familiar with what that stands for.

If you own one, consider yourself very fortunate. Here's to the C7!

Your chrome wheels definitely aid in turning heads.

I previously had a 78 and a 68 and when it came time to buy I had to decide between a 65-67 327/350 which I had always wanted and a new C7. Glad I chose the C7-it is just a super car.

Being a little bit older I would defitnitly consider a older 60 type vette, but I'm not in a position to travel and the few around my city are priced out of reach..but the C7 is a great car model and with warranty not a hard choice.

My first and so far I love it! I'm thinking about side rockers and front splitter but just not sure about the look or which ones to go with.

Great post and I couldn't agree more. This is my 3rd Vette and by far the best in terms of looks, handling, power and general 'fun to drive' factor.

Best car I've ever had....and I've had a few.

I had a 2014 Z51 3LT that I traded for my current 18 GS last June, the car was perfect except for the squeaky brakes that were replaced under warranty.
The nurse that bought it from the dealer was very happy with it and even drove over to my house for additional information about the car.
Here is the final pic I took on the trade day.
