Worth every penny. C7 is an amazing Corvette, a continuation of the heritage and a true work of art. Best Corvette to date in my little book

Based on that article, the C7 was an incredible bargain for what the car turned out to be - a world class sports car. Sure glad they found the money for its development.

The fact the car is so good makes some of the design aspects more glaringly crazy, such as: no mechanical back-up for the gas-door, the craziness of the battery placement, and the positive-buss design at the battery.

I cured the gas door issue with a 1/2” rubber stopper from a big box store.
Still has the annoying clicks when opening the door. But, I don’t need to worry
about jumping out of the car to open the gas door anymore.

The battery & buss placements aren't a problem. The gas door? Yah, that needed an inside pull handle.
