Default I must confess...
I have owned probably 20 corvettes in my lifetime but nothing compares to this one. I took it out for a drive the other day and the whine of the supercharger was giving me a woody. Is this normal... I have never driven a Lambo or a Ferrari but this thing is awesome for a street sports car.

If I had the spare coin, I would buy one in a heartbeat. But at last, it is a little outside of my budget. Love the black!

Well she is a Z06/Z07 with carbon ceramic brakes,competition seats, carbon fiber skirts, interior has the alcantara wrapping. At the end I'll have to decide if I'll buy it depending what I can get the residual value on the lease down to, it will have to be a great deal that I can't refuse, if not I'll see whats new on the market. I like the Camero or the Charger hellcat.

I had leased my '09 Z06 for 4 years, then bought the car after the lease was up. After another year of making payments, I still didn't own the car. Ended up trading in for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, much to the chagrin of my then fiancé.

Enjoy your ride! However, don't drive it while you're leasing it. You'll get raped when you go to turn it in, even if you're below the miles in your contract.

Color can really make the difference between liking something and meh. I'm not a big fan of the new Corvette UNLESS it's black like this one.

Would own. Yup.

(And I'd pick Hill up for a little road head)

Nice ride OP. Very nice.

gorgeous !

the C7 is a leap forward of already great designs (C5 and C6). I do get a very pleasurable feeling driving our 2015. And Yvonne drives it more than she drove any of our past Corvettes.

Tadge said of the C7 being a total redesign.... that only 3 parts total were carried over from the C6, two screws and a fastener. On one hand it's quite different than past models, on the other hand it's a recognizeable close friend (i mean, you know it's a Corvette) as you drive and become aquainted with it.




But, if I had the funds... I'd go straight to a Lambo.

Top of the line car. My C7 had Competition seats as well. The support is awesome-but I didn't like that you sat higher than in the Sport seats. Plus the fact that GM provided harness shoulder access, no seat pass through or any freaking way to properly use the seats as intended pissed me off. Sharkbar makes a decent harness bar and you can use the six point harness method (through the seat back) but it's not as secure as a 5 point,(through the seat bottom).
