Yes, Another Wed Gathering In The Books
A rare in these parts Sterling Blue C7, easy detail today.
Had a few C8 visitors, definitely some crowd pleasers.

Finally saw a C8 in the wild today. Much better looking car than the C7.

I like my C7 more than I do of the C8.

If'n I had the cash, I'd buy either a SWC, 67 BB vert, 70-72 BB coupe or vert, 80-81, 02-04 vert, 04 Z16, 09-13 Z06 or 427 vert. Whichever one I could afford. |

I had a C4, C5, and C6. It took a while to warm to the C6 over the C5 and I still like the feel of the C5 over the C6. But the C6 has convenience features that I like a lot. It seems more docile to me until you push it a little whereas the C5 never let you forget you were driving a sports car.
C5 and C6 were both verts and the C5 is WAY more pleasant to drive at highway+ speed with the top down. Unless you need the heated seats of the C6. Guess it's the hood or something... don't know. I love the technology and performance of the C7 but never warmed up to the styling. The C8 looks outstanding to me and I'd have one if I hadn't spent C8 money on an RV. Hope the wife doesn't read but maybe, just maybe when we tire of the RV.... Really I can use the C8 as a "strawman" and maybe get a 2013 427 vert. Probably the best ever Corvette fit for me. |
