Can't wait to make the switch...

Hi everyone. I've been a german car guy for years now (I have owned 3 versions of the M3 and currently have a MB C63 coupe) but the new C7 will be my next purchase

Up until the C7, I wasn't a huge Corvette fan... I absolutely appreciated the car for its performance and ability (they are monsters at the track where I frequent) but the interior and exterior (although it was much improved in the C6) held me back. Not to mention it only had 2 seats and I have 3 kids . The C7 has changed all of this (not the seat issue but I've convinced my wife not to care ) and I am very excited to own one. My father owned a 1978 silver/grey Vette and that car was his pride and joy. I remember spending hours and hours under that car working on it, changing oil, detailing it... it was the car that started my passion for cars at the young age of 8.

I look forward to being part of this community!!

Heath

Welcome to Corvette7!

I think the C7 with its new exotic exterior design and upgraded interior will be drawing many more folks from the luxury European sports car enthusiast group, just as it's done with you.

Indeed the new C7 will have new followers/believers/owners all in one. I share the same sentiment since I also had my share of euro models, an M3 and E55 AMG... although I switched to first getting a Camaro SS and a Boss 302, the new Stingray is the next goal. It's unbelievably gorgeous and visually stunning in person. Here it is again at the last day of the Chicago auto show. This is not just another Corvette, it's a total revolutionary change... a new novel, not just another chapter.
