New C7 owner

Well I had my C6 for a whopping 3.5 months and traded it for a 2017 base 3LT. When I got my 2012 I loved it! So much so I lost interest in my Slingshot. So I figured if I sold the Slingshot I could afford a C7. I've been looking around for a while at everything except Z06's. It wasn't until I drove the base 3LT that I realized since this was only going to be a weekend toy, I didn't need the capabilities Z51 or GS. Man what a difference the C7 is. It's definitely more cramped, kinda reminded me of my C4. With the C4 it always made you feel part of the car, that kind of got lost with the 5 and 6. Though the 6 wasn't bad at all. The C7 is much more refined, I totally love it! Here are some pics. My 2012 is trying to get into the frame...

Very nice! Is it new?? A couple of local dealers here have unsold 2017 3LTs. I’m seriously considering trading my C5. Congrats on the beautiful Corvette!

Congratulations. Your new ride looks great! That's going to be one upgrade that you never regret. Having also gone from a C6 to a C7, I think you'll find the C7 to be an absolutely amazing car.

I really like the clean looks of the C6 & C7 without the addition of

additional wings or spoilers. That is the original design!
