I love the C7...been pricing them out quite a bit and know exactly the model/options I want

Ideally, I'd like to keep the X another 1-2 years since its paid off, but we'll see if that happens. I do still really enjoy driving my X though and it is a badass daily-driver in its current form

The c7 zo6 looks bananas. I think its the best looking car under 100k new, and probably best performance wise too. Zo6's were never a joke!

I'm considering getting a C6Z or GrandSport this year

Maybe when the C7Z gets a bit cheaper, the narrow bodies just don't do it for me after seeing the Z version or any vette

one thing to keep in mind for the autox people is the width of the car... its alot wider than the evo, gotta move more to dodge those cones, and suddenly what used to be a staight can become a curve or sight slalom...

The first C7 I saw was doing 60 in about an inch of snow. That traction control must be incredible.

Just put a small refundable down payment on a '15 today to get on a large dealer's list. I'm going to go with:

2LT Z51 coupe
Artic White
Jet black interior with suede inserts
Back rims
black spoiler and mirrors
Mag ride
NPP exhaust (included with Z51 in '15)

Can't wait to order. Still not sure what I'm going to do with the evo. I'd like to keep it for a fun / mod car / weekend track car / winter driver and use the vette for my DD. I'll definitely be keeping it until spring (but I love it and it'll be hard to let go... just not sure if it makes financial sense).
