Future Corvette Owner
Hi all, I'm now beginning to look for an upgrade to a V6 mustang and the C7's are really getting my attention. I'm expecting to make the purchase within the next 6 months or so, as I'm trying to hold out on what the C8 might just be.
I'm looking at a ~2018 C7 GS A8 as this will be a daily driver and I feel the auto should give me enough of the control that I may want. In searching, I see a lot of the GSs don't have the Z07 package, I thought it would have been more common! I really like the Watkins Glen Grey with black wheels look, especially the collector's edition, however the blue dash seems like it may be an issue in the sunlight.
Anyway, glad to be here, would appreciate any input!

Welcome to the forum!
You may want to read through the C7 section of the forum and especially pay attention to Sticky Threads at the tops of the pages. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-corvette-141/
You could also ask the C7 owners about the blue dash and get great feedback from those with that dash.
Best wishes with your search for the Corvette right for you!
