Thought about a new Nismo but after really looking at what it had to offer for the $ with really no advance in performance I ordered my first ever Corvette 2015 Z51 pkg. The C7 is simply amazing to look at and drive. The interior looks like it should be in a high end European super car. The new 8 speed auto shifts amazingly fast ( milliseconds) 0-60 in 3.7 sec. Top speed 180+. Heading to Bowling Green for museum delivery when ready. Hopefully in 1 month. Loved my 370z back in 09 but this car is whole new level of performance. I will post up some pics when she arrives.

Depends....I test drove the Stingray at Road America and absolutely fell in love with it! so.........Since I get a decent GM discount through work on the new Stingray. I just need the base without all the heavy junk. MSRP for me is $49K.

Great deal right?

Went on forums and the Sting Ray has/had 21 recalls. Yeah most are minor but with that many recalls, this means unreliable.

Passed and keeping the Z.

FPenvy

first year stuff.

hopefully the 2015's will be much better.

the AT is already miles ahead of the 2014 one.

67K is cheap?? Maybe I'm getting old but my first brand new vehicle I bought was a 88 Mazda B2200 pickup and it cost me $7800 bucks..... Now that is cheap.

well when the sticker of a 2014 Z51 3LT is around 73-78k yes 68k or less for one with 2k miles is not bad considering they've only been out about a year lol

Maybe you should use the term "Not as Expensive"

Still expensive but not as expensive.

lol

I've been doing a lot of research on the Corvette forums as well. While most are minor, 21 recalls in the short life span of this car is a lot. A thinking man would also assume there are other gremlins in this car which has not made it to the recall stage.

I was very interested in this car, but the way I want it configured would cost me over $60k out the door (basically the cost of my last two cars). I just can't justify spending that kind of money for a car that I may be driving back and forth to the dealer often. I believe GM will work out most of the kinks in their halo car, but it will take them a couple more years to do so.

I know the C7 is a much faster and nicer interior car, but to date my Z has 10k miles on the odometer in 26 months of ownership. Absolutely 0 trips to the dealer. Prior to that, 60k miles and 8+ years of owning a G35 Coupe, only 2 recalls. Brake pads and rotor replaced for free after 15k miles, due to grabby brakes. And greasing of the door locks due to it being sticky. So for $60k+ & 21 recalls, I'll also wait on the C7.

I've been a member of the CorvetteForum longer than I've been on here, and I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. Is there a specific thread you can link me to these "21 recalls".... So far I've heard of the airbag issue, the parking brake cables not seated properly,a few other little minor things and a few engine problems (like on the C&D test vehicle). It seems like people are really exaggerating all these recalls and stuff. Like I said, I'm on that forum daily, and of course I do see some issues, but nothing like you guys make it out to be.

One good thing about GM though, at least they acknowledge issues and recall them... so far every engine failure thread I've seen, GM has fixed under warranty... even if the engine blew up on the track. Look at all the issues we have, CSC failures, paint defects, oil burning issues, and lets not forget how long it took Nissan to do a recall on the steering locks.
