Couldn't wait any longer - bought a Stingray

ped · 12-18-2016, 08:04 AM

I got tired of waiting for Nissan to get off their butts and make us a new Z, so yesterday I went and bought a 7-speed manual 2017 Corvette Grand Sport in 2LT trim, with nav, PDR, upgraded wheels, etc. It's freaking amazing, and even over my bolt on 370Z the extra 100 HP and 190 tq difference is readily apparent.

Here she is:

RIP my beautiful 2013 370Z - you'll be missed.

How much is this car selling in the U.S..?

Congratulations on your new 2017 Corvette

I picked up a 2017 Corvette Z06 with the paddle shift automatic and loaded it up with every option including the ceramic brakes..

my 2010 Nismo is at 96,000 miles and mint as day one new and still resides in my garage

This one stickered around 78K but Chevy has a sale this month do I got it around 68K.

Duc_Z09 · 12-18-2016, 11:27 AM

Nice ride. GM did a great job with the C7, especially the Z06. The only thing I don't understand is what makes it a Stingray.

Trips · 12-18-2016, 11:39 AM

Wow! Sweet Corvette!!

Congrats and enjoy the ride.

DCNISMO · 12-18-2016, 11:53 AM

The dealers have huge discounts on the C7 now, plus used ones are in the 40k range. Had I not bought my 2009 911 4S last month I would be looking C7 too.

Love it and congrats!
