A short, but a great run. My C7 Z51 is the best Vette I ever owned. There were twenty one others. Great power, great handling, great styling. The mag ride is sensational. I sold a '10 manual GS and a '12 2R1. Never looked back.

I took delivery of a 2014 convertible in December 2013. Sold it in the spring of 2017 and took delivery of a 2017 Grand Sport coup that June. I loved the 2014 and the 2017 even more. They were/are my 5th and 6th Corvettes. The C8 is an awesome looking car, but I think as of right now, I'll just keep my Grand Sport. Sad to see the C7 go but all good things end.

While there were some hiccups along the way, the C7 has been a big success. Sure glad I have mine also.

Had an early ‘14, less the 3500 vin from Oct 2013. It was a retirement gift to myself after 22 years of service. It had some bumps and bruises, but it was a fun ride. Now I’ve got a ‘19 GS, M7...great replacement.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
But if this end means you are offended,
Think but this and all is mended
GM purchase assistance threads will soon be ended:
Adios " Any chance we will see 25%+ off MSRP on C7s?" threads!
