I owned a C7 and got a lot of compliments. More so than any of my Porsches. But I think C7 is considered an everyman sports car and thus the owner perhaps perceived as more approachable. Everyone knows Porsche and BMW owners are douches.

It's unfortunate that people feel that can't approach someone based on their vehicle. Especially BMW. There is nothing special about them. Even if owners have that ridiculous idea. There will be assholes in every make and model. More so on the higher value? Maybe. I've nerved gotten that vibe that the exotic owners are more douchey then the others. It's totally possible.

Never owned a Vette. I am on 3 lists for a Z06. It would be the only American car I would ever get. Sorry, just not a fan. So I don't know about the attention when in one. Just know I see them everywhere. The most attention I get is in my brothers GTR. It's crazy how many people are interested in that thing. That is a car I still very rarely see. Maybe 1 a month unless you hit a show or cars and coffee. It's every young's boys wet dream. Lol. Dick magnet 4 sure

That clown is talking about me. But i have him blocked so i only saw what he wrote because you quoted him. Otherwise that shit he probably types constantly about me i can't see lol. But it's good to know i have that effect on some people

My C7Z does get compliments all the time. Imagine almost a decade old design? GM really killed it with the C7. A gigantic leap foward over the C6. And then one up themselves again with the C8.

I do agree with others that they fucked up the entire debut and intro to the C8Z. But i think they had to do it this way because of what transpired the past 2 years or so. With COVID, then parts shortages, strikes, plant shutdowns etc. I think for them to still barely being able to bring this car out, at least it's better than nothing.

When you're the sole protester on the subject clearly shows there's nothing wrong with the general definition of the word, but how you're interpreting it. You're using your feelings to dictate what you think is right or wrong. I wouldn't call that common sense LOL. Ok that's it no more lol.

But yeah you're right. GM really fucked up the intro to their FIRST SUPERCAR

However even with how fucked up things are, people still want this damn car. Now i'm scared being 152 or so at mac, that i might not even see the car in 2023. I'm sure i will but i already told my neighbors i'll have the car next summer haha. I better not be fucking driving this car home winter 2023.

It's all good since my stingray is coming first. Might twin turbo that before my z06 comes

Yea, please don't deliver mine in winter LOL.

Mac said 1200 bucks to deliver to my house.

Between gas mileage, tolls, possibly getting a rock chip or 2 in that 300 mile drive home, i think i'm having both my stingray and z06 delivered to my house.

Phuck dat chit mang.

Gotta keep these GM supercars pristine!

No doubt. Well said

I actually just deleted that post since it was redundant, I didn't realize we made it onto another page and didn't read several posts. All good though.

I'm going to kick back and wait for a status update on my Z06, hopefully it won't be too long!

I got my 2SS 1LE sometime right around new-years, I think maybe a day or two before. Due to a crazy fluke of weather, it was 50 degrees and raining in Anchorage, plenty good to get gas and drive home on the stock tires. I was going to trailer it if that didn't happen.

Hope I get lucky if that happens. I am in PA so I can drive it home from NJ, but not in a snow storm

Can we please kill this thread? Even I'm getting nauseous and I (briefly) worked on the engine for this dang car. I'm sure the corvette forums would be glad to take all of you. The back and forth on whether it is is or isn't a super car, guys fellating each other about how cool they're going to look once they get there's. Enough already. Touch grass and have some dignity.

Everyone has to change their behavior except him. He can't simply stop visiting the thread; no. He needs the thread taken down.

You're right. I keep seeing new posts and thinking maybe something of value is going to be said, but we're far past that point.

This is going to be the best car ever, dammit. If you don't get one, your a loser. Ladies will be chasing you with mattresses on their backs. It's a unicorn 🦄. Everyone, sell your Lambo's , Ferrari's , McClaren's , Porsche's. You will all just be jealous you don't have this Chevy. Hell, I may blow a guy who has one🤮. I hope this thread doesn't get closed. I love reading some of the slurping that goes on here. It's truly comical. It's like beer glasses for cars on some of these dudes here. This thread=😍😍😍

I don’t get that. I’m here for love of cars, full stop. I have been fortunate enough to own quite a few over time. I think there are lots of incredible cars at various price points so that everyone can enjoy them. I may like some cars better than others but at the end of the day, we’re all sharing the same type of experience. I like reading about all the different cars people have and sometimes they offer point of views I wouldn’t have previously considered. I just don’t understand why people have to be rude or act butt hurt over a car they don’t like.

I think if I could find the right C7Z, I’d consider it. The C6 got me interested but the C7 took my money. I’m on the list for a C8Z too. I’m told it’ll probably be 2023/4 before I ever see it. Not in a hurry and not going to pay ADM, so I’ll be patient.

tbh i didn't read the whole thread, but typically on BP we try to jusify and get inside the minds of consumers buying 6 figure cars that are luxary items. you buy them as toys.

Not sure what you're trying to convey but regardless whatever ...........

FWIW, six figure cars to some people are not that big of a deal, hell, this is a BMW hang out, easy to option out to six figures !
