2022 C2 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Picked up a C7

My 750 HP Mustang S550 was rear ended by a semi in late June. I went shopping for another S550 that I was just going to clone but saw a Watkins Glen Grey 2017 Stingray and fell in love with it. So now the C7 joins my C2 and my sister-in-law's C3 in the garage

Great choice, I went from an S550 to a C7 about 5 years ago. I love mustangs though corvettes are just a ton of fun.

You may want to post this in the C7 section for more feedback.

I love that color - but I am biased since mine is also Watkins Glen Gray.

Very nice. I wonder if you will miss the extra horsepower of the Mustang. I bet your garage looks awesome with 3 corvettes. Congrats on the purchase and you will love the gas mileage.

Also came from supercharged S550 Mustang and have zero regrets. The only thing I slightly miss is the exhaust tone.

Sorry to hear about the Mustang. It's amazing how far they have come with those cars. I do believe my C7 has a much more roomy driver seat than the Mustang. I bought mine in NC and drove it home. By the time I got home I was very happy with my decision. Mine is a daily and my only car unless we are in the wife's Lexus Karen mobile. They really are great cars. Enjoy!
