I figured id introduce myself. My name is RJ I have two Harleys and a 64 VW Beetle. I'm sure this is a common question, I'm Looking into buying my first Corvette. Been looking at used ones. I like the C6 and the C7. Drove both and liked em both so I can't make up my mind. Is the bang for the buck in the C7 worth the difference as far as performance and handling v/s the C6?

Welcome to the forum!
Best possible way for you to decide is to think which of the C6 or C7 fits your needs, and potential future depreciation.

I'd recommend you post your question in the C7 section as a number of the members there made the switch from a C6 to a C7.

Thank you all for your responses.
I still have my Fatboy. He's had a rough life. He and I were hit in South Carolina and both have many scars. He's all back together now.. me not so much. Lol I'd post a pic but not sure how yet. Maybe later

I've decided I want a 2013 60th anniversary white w/silver stripe down the middle of it. The more I look at it the better I like it. I have too many toys I might have to get rid of something. Have two bikes and a 64 custom Beetle
