Ooops! He has a C7 Z51. Thinking about this thread. I typed C8. Gregg got a early C7. He's had some issues with it. He still has it. Last I heard. He's thinking on selling it since he retired.

New production car models usually would have a few of those lemons.

Too bad your friend got one of the rotten eggs. Not sure whats the lemon law in your state says. He should have requested for a buy back by the dealership and got another newer model GS 2017.

Same reason why GM invested a million dolllar new paint facility in Kentucky to address the paint issue.

I bought mine 2014 velocity yellow now its color changed to matte gray!!!
I thought it was those magic color change scheme by Corvette.

So your saying its the primer Im seeing? I knew it my vette Paint is made by Skittles!

GM recommends for Corvette C7 to do an oil change for the first 500 or 1K miles and change oil differentils at 20K or 30K miles. A/T flush at 50K miles.
To keep those metal shavings flushed.

the vett is 5 years old and so far it still scares me with TC off.

Gregg always wanted a Vette. So just before he retired. He bought a first year C7. Now that he is retired. He's thinking that he made a mistake in buying it. I've known Gregg since the 70's. And he has always been like that. Always second guessing himself.

Yup... Same for the SS. His buddy didn't take care of his car well. Secondly I drove the 14 vette. I wasn't too impressed till I went back in 17 and test drove it. They sorted out the excessive numbness in the steering and gave it feel somehow. They transmission was faster and being the 17 was a GS... I was impressed. My only issue was the 1LE and Grand sport drove to similar for a nearly 40k gap. Granted the the seating position feels more right in the vette. But the overall cabin layout of the camaro blew me away. Never been in an american car so well thought out with button placement. If I could get a GS 65 or under? It'll be worth it to me. Watching these discounts.

Actually this is the best time to buy a used or new vett.
As a lot of potential C7 Corvette buyers hold of their purchase to see how the C8 would look like and the pricing of the new C8 would be.

If indeed the C8 would live up to the claims of GM as the most powerful and being the C8 would raise the bar of an affordable sports car with supercar abilities.

C7 prices would go down further.

Yes its always has been the same pattern.

With the exception of Nissan still at it in selling a 10 year old car, you gotta love the 50th Anniversary. Its a game changer as Nissan has said on it press release in NY?

But you gotta give it to the Porsche 997 GT3.

Been dreaming of owning one but still the price at 80k to 100k+ for a 13 year old car. Same goes to the GTS 997.
The RS and 4.0R are still at 200K price.

Amazing how Porsche can hold values on these specific cars!

I suspect there will be a lot of them “out of control” once they first launch.
Mid-engine Corvette driver’s last words: “why would I need Traction Control? We’ll just switch this off”.

Dealers have to fork out money to sell the C8.

LOL, the C7 is a handful with it off. The corvette nannies actually work really well. They will let you have some fun and not put you in the wall. Big difference between that and our 370z. The 370z nannies suck.

Between this, the Supra and Mazda just building an all new inline 6 for sport applications promised by 2025 or sooner. The next generation of sports cars will be rather interesting.
