Question is: On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being highest) please rate how much fun you experience when you drive your C7.

I get 5. Now everyone might have different concept of what makes C7 so much fun to drive. For example engine power, acceleration, sportiness, balance, and all the way to attraction and cosmetics. Or a combo of things. I can speak for myself. What makes C7 "Fun to Drive" for me is sitting so close to rear axle with that curvy long hood view added to all the performance on demand. I am also interested to know what factors makes this car fun to drive for you.

To me it's running thru the gears with a manual however looking out over that beautiful hood and listening to the beautiful exhaust note is a close 2nd.

All of the above apply, also, love the sound, mine is on sport mode all the time. It's funny to see people look around when that vette starts up. Also I'm in San Antonio, TX. and for some reason there aren't that many red corvettes ( mine is torch red C7 3lt with black trim and wheels) about 60% of the time when I go downtown, when I come out to the parking lot to leave somebody is taking a selfie next to the car or mom is taking pics of junior next to the car and so on. It's nuts.

All of the above!

Stepping on the gas and feeling the response as I go through the gears and see the gorgeous view of the front hood from the driver's seat while listening to great driving music on a nice day with the top down. Seeing another vette and giving the hi sign is just gravy.

The HACK

Depends on what you use it for.

On the track? The fun factor is off the charts. For the money you pay for, you can't beat the fact that few cars can even remotely keep up. Sure, there are faster cars. But none that won't set you bak 2-3x what you pay for, and frankly, if you're even 1/10th the driver you think you are, you can easily make up the difference.

And against lesser cars? Cars that I used to have to work to pass in my BMW, I pass with ease like they're standing still. There's something to be said about being able to beat your prior personal best by a good 5 second without having to work up a sweat.

TRACK F2D: 4. It takes exotics to keep up, and frankly, if you're driving an exotic on track you'd be a little timid about crashing it. The only thing that beats it are Porsche GTx and race cars, IMO.

Dropping off the kids at school? Well, first of all, it's dropping off the KID, not kids, as you can only take one. But boy oh boy I like the way the other kid's jaws hit the floor when I punch it just a little bit. But in reality, at the end I just look like a douche to the other parents. IRL?

DROPPING OFF AT SCHOOL F2D: 2. Fun for me, no fun for the kid.

Daily? This is probably where the Corvette C7 shines. It's exceedingly comfortable for a 2 seater. Practical too. And the 2 doors, 2 seats means I never have to drive anyone else from work to lunch. The clutch is one of the easiest to operate, and no matter where I go I always get people to turn heads when I drive by. Power there when you need it, there when you don't. Fantastic all around car. Yes sometimes I get jaded that my OTHER 2 doors, 2 seat car is more fun to drive in the turns and whatnot, but for sure the Z4 M Coupe is not nearly as practical as the Corvette (but the Z4 M Coupe's F2D factor is WAY OFF THE CHARTS.)

DAILY F2D? 5. Easy.

Just getting in the car and pushing the start button to fire up the Z gives me a woody. Putting the M7 through the gears while the car wants to dance is a high. Sitting behind the wheel and looking down the long red hood is heaven.

A 5 all the way!

Mine goes to 11 when topless.

For me a 4.
The car that was the most ( all around fun) was my '03 Honda S2000.
The 9k blush point was always a scream ( literally) and the best handling.

A 5 all the way. When I start the Z & it roars to life the 5 factor is there. With 27K miles on the Z already, a fun factor of 5 every time,never gets old especially now that I have All Season tires on the Z, I can drive it no matter what the temperature.

FunDriver

Overall a 5. There's nothing I want that it doesn't have. Well, maybe little better view in back, but the looks, handling, exhaust sound, and power all provide a "5" experience for me. Heck, just having it parked in the garage is a 5 for me.

SuperdadZ06

I am only 1800 miles and 6 months in but my Z06 M7 is not a 10 but 11...................................... Really happy with my decision and the enjoyment with every drive. What a combo of performance and looks.

DeStreGa5

Definitely a 5 with a M7. Running through the gears and making as much noise as possible!

Avanti

Sorry, but I cannot answer, very well. There are too many kinds of "driving" and what is high fun for one vehicle, isn't necessarily so for another. Hence, I've enough specialized vehicles to fill the bill for each purpose I consider important. As for the C7, I rate it about a low-end "4" (your scale) as an all-round sports car. I'd like to rate it higher as I would have my C5 (I sitll have) when it was new, but the C7's OEM tires and wheels make that impossible, inho.

DWillys

Not as fun as the RX7 I used to own, but still fun to drive.

LimeRock

5
Walking out of work on the few days like today that I drive it to work and hitting the remote start puts a smile on my face every time.

SuperdadZ06

I dont have a huge point of reference because I have only owned one other sports car, a 2000 911 cab for 14 years but I have driven many sports cars for fun and this is my favorite by far. The performance and shocking comfort of a car like this is awesome

wgood

I rate it a 5 especially on long trips my favorite driving experience so my 3 trips are 3200 miles 4200 miles and 1800 miles !!!! Wayne

Right now it is a 3, since in the Northeast, the closest I have come to driving my C7 in the last 55 days is looking at it in the garage.
It does look nice and I did wax it last weekend. With yesterday's snow, it will be a while before the roads are clean enough to drive on.

Top down, rowing the gears and the feel of 650hp with 650 lbs of torgue. The sound and power is something you have to experience to fully appreciate. A 5 on the scale for sure.
