Default Hello from MD!

Just joined the forum earlier this week and thought I'd introduce myself. I currently drive a 2009 Nissan 370Z, which I've had for over 4 years now. I love my Z, but I think it's about time for an upgrade and a Corvette seems like it's the natural step up from the Z.

A C7 is the top choice for my next car, but it's currently out of my price range. I won't be ready to buy until the end of this year and I'm hoping prices for used C7's fall closer to the low-mid $40k range. If not, then I may look to a 2016 Mustang GT/Camaro SS as my next choices. Figured I should get a head start on my research for the C7, which is why I joined now. Is it bad that I'm already looking up what mods I want to get?

Here are a couple pics of my Z. Thanks!

Welcome and I have owned a 2012 Camaro. I loved it! One problem, it wasn't a Vette!


Once you get into Vettes, it is hard to break away.

C7





My 2015 red 2500HD at the dealer today as I picked it up and dropped of my 2004 Silverado next to it.

Thanks! Yeah I bet it would be. I got a ride in a friend's C6 Z06 and it was insane. I've still never driven one myself. Waiting for the weather to get warm so I can go out and test drive one properly. Can't wait!

So things have changed pretty quickly for me. Just put in an order for a 2016 C7 Z51 with Mike Furman this morning.

Couldn't hold out, could you! The draw of the C7 is strong! Hope you love it as much as I love mine!
