I've been keeping an eye on this particular thread- ** C7 Reported issues and resolutions thread ** - Corvette Forum

But there isn't anything that would scare me away from buying one.

I find it hilarious that 370z owners who are turboed think their car is somehow better because it can keep up with a stock c7 or barely pass one. The corvette is another league of performance. Hell even a new 5.0 mustang is a better platform for performance. I've driven the fast intentions twin turbo kit by the way and from my opinion and a few others the 350z/g35 is a better turbo option for putting power down properly.

MJB, You're a braver man than I.

For me, 102 pages of issues and paying $60k plus, is not something I'm willing to do. As mentioned in my post, I believe GM will work out most of the kinks in due time. Until then I plan on keeping my $60k invested and possibly purchase the C7 in the year 2016.

Well, I tell you what... I will never buy a C6 Z06. That was the car I was looking at before I bought the Nismo... lets just say after I did some research, I changed my mind real quick!

Remember, most people are obsessed with straight line speed. So if they slap a turbo on their car, and then do some highway pulls and beat up on another car, they think its the greatest thing ever.

Just be happy our bail out money for GM that we the tax payers paid to have the wonderful corvette. I still have a bad taste with that fact on buying anything especially at that price range from a company that about went belly up. GM has to step up for recalls because they have to.

Yes it is when a V6 outperforms the king V8. Priceless to see that expression on their face when that happens.

Buy an older 09 or 2010+ gtr.

Corvette is very unreliable compared to Z. But you get a 190mph supercar at a premium car price. It's a trade-off.

:iagree: and yes the mustang has better performance for the buck but there are sports car buyers out there that actually want a quality built car and not a POS ford.

I would get the new Alfa 4c out of both of these cars...the more I see videos on the 4c the more I fall in love, that car is sex on 4 wheels truly a poor mans Ferrari so tempting.

Reading this stuff makes me wonder how many of you have actually driven all or even most of the cars being thrown around.

These threads are pointless, every car has its ups and its downs and its own distinct style.

Yeah, I guess STI and Evo owners feel the same way when their 4 bangers beat up on our Z's.
