Same here. I was on the fence regarding looks when it was introduced but I wasn't in the market. Over time,I came to appreciate it more.Fast forward 4 years to 2 weeks ago and I was happy with the deal I got and every time I drive it which has only been 185 miles in 13 days. I'm 66,it's my last...

You're right,nothing happens when you hit the gas. The car stays stationary. I think you mean to say,"the Corvette makes no sense to YOU,",right? Yes,gas mileage. It makes a difference both in town and even more so on a trip. Enjoy those Boy Racer 3.73 gears. Regarding the hood,a soccer field...

1-Uh. 4th is 1.00 and 5-6-7 are all overdrive. So not sure what you mean by useless. It's another reason the 1LT gets better gas mileage than a GT. 2-The Mustang is 1.5" WIDER,so the Corvette is not a "BIG WIDE THING". It's a foot shorter,6 inches lower and 400 lbs. lighter.

I traded a 2 month-old '17 GT w/PP for a '17 1LT C7 11 days ago. I had not driven or been in a Corvette since 1968 and I was stunned how snug they are inside. It reminded of being in an MGB,size-wise! This is the least popular color,Sterling Blue,1 of 346 this MY year total. Only ~25% of all...

I could have waited on this instead: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/los-angeles/2019-chevrolet-corvette-zr1-convertible-first-look-statement-maker/ar-BBFTFtl?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp Way out of my league,price-wise.

Thanks for explaining.

LOL! They have not been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. I wonder why insurance companies CONTINUE to insure them at reasonable rates? What is your point? Do those tests determine for you whether to buy or not? I'll...

:thumbsup: Mine is nearly 3x that-it all depends on where you live.

A pleasant surprise today was I transferred the same insurance coverage to the C7 and it was $20.50 more per month. I was expecting quite a bigger increase.:eyebulge:

Same here. 3 hands full of "real" foreign (GASP sound inserted) sports cars and 2 Mustangs since June but since I traded my 2 month-old GTPP for a C7 on Saturday,I fall into the stereotyped "douche canoe" league. Kudos to me then. Maybe I should start a poll,mid-thread,regarding stereotypes...

Mine has Pilot Super Sports.The window sticker says they are run-flats. I'll see what's available when these wear out.

So you're a wannabe Brit or you learned a new word to impress folks here. Kudos. Nor do I care,just like you of course.

Exactly,makes no sense whatsoever. Plus,the generalizations were way over the top. Funny that he used the Brit slang term "tossers" though. I heard that term nearly every day when I lived in Thailand where the vast majority of ex-pats are Brits.

Thanks,I couldn't be happier. It really doesn't feel like a base model in ANY way.I got the Sterling Blue with the grey. I was very happy with the music on the way home and amazed that 5-6-7 are all overdrive.Big change color-wise from Magnetic. You have to see the worst sucker sticker of all...

Having an open car makes a huge difference,at least to me. Our winter down here is prefect for an open car.That was another reason I traded a 2 month-old GTPP.
