While recuperating from having both my OEM knees replaced with aftermarket (NOT at the same time) I've been lurking doing my due diligence on finally getting a Corvette. Originally, I wanted to get a 12/13 GS coupe w/mag ride to do long road trips (PCH, Rt 66, Blue Ridge Parkway, etc). I felt the C6's styling would age a little better than the C7. With Z51 C7's prices coming near the GS's price, I started looking at them as well. Being a 'Wide Body" myself and reading all the comments on C7's being a little tighter I was concerned how I would fit. Well, when I finally broke down and rode in a C7, I realized the 7's checked all my boxes and more. After looking nationwide for months, I was just about to go with a low mileage Base w/Mag-ride 900 miles away, when this Z51 w/mag-ride came on the market NINETY minutes away. It pays to know what your priorities are. Don't settle for anything less. They are out there, have patience. I didn't have to have a LOW mileage car, as I plan on putting MILES on this one (has 40K). In fact, the A8 tranny has had the shudder &the infotainment screen issues addressed. AND He just put on a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+ (less than 2K miles). Looking forward to finally come out into the light and being an active and contributing member of this amazing forum. THANKS y'all, Stay Safe. ENJOY!!!
