Hello Everyone! I am in the market for a C7 as my first Corvette, would love a C8 but its just not in my price range....yet... I am really interested in a 2016 2lt Stingray and trying to time the market with the introduction of the new C8 so I can get a great deal. I am a lifelong Muscle car owner having owned and restored two 68 Camaros (still have one of them that Ive owned for over 20 years) a 67 Firebird, 1946 Chevy Truck, 65 AC Cobra Replica and have dabbled in the chopper motorcycle world building a couple bikes. Just sold the Cobra and the 46 Chevy Truck to make room for the vette. I have always wanted a 64 Split Window Vette, However there is something about the C7 that I cant explain. Hope to learn a lot about the C7 and hopefully one day I will add it to my garage. I always told myself (and my wife) that when I hit 50 I was getting one. Well Im 53 and its time.... If anyone has any tips or advice, would love to hear.
