George, since I'll be getting Big Red in your will, can you keep miles low?


It's OK, Dave, I may croak on the operating table during my colon surgery in December.

Doesn't it make more sense to will this to someone who knows the C7 already?

Your car is different enough that I would keep both of course.

It's weird but I've seen like a 75/25 split of women/men driving the C7 so far. Most of them are older white women.

Thought this was supposed to be an American muscle type of car.

I have only ever seen a couple other C7s on the road so I dunno who else drives them. Have you seen a lot? I still get excited to see another one on the road because it seems so rare around here...

Figured you'd know but what can one expect to pay (realistically/post negotiation) for a track pack C7?

Straight from Chevy.

Kerbeck is advertising about 8% off on all Corvettes. They typically have the best advertised prices.

A Z51 1LT Coupe with no other options would be 60k MSRP so probably 55K would be a fair price. Could you go lower? Probably but I would say that's a realistic price that most people could get without too much effort. If you want MSRC (you probably do) add 1500 or so.

Actually, it looks like supplier pricing is around there too. Almost anyone can get supplier pricing now, credit union members, costo members, etc.

https://www.gmsupplierdiscount.com/

Z51 1LT (7MT) w MSRC

Base MSRP $59,000.00
MSRP as Configured $61,790.00
GM Supplier Discount Price $56,464.60

Don't think you can buy anything with better performance (even used) for the money. Crazy.

I thought you had to be bald or over 60 to have a new Vette. I have even seen a Vette with AARP for a plate.

I am not bald but pushing that 60 mark. I really wanted a Vette but I could not be another Viagra poppin old man driving a Vette. Like Vettes so much better than anything Ford has ever made( read as Mustangs, all Mustangs suck). I had a 86 in the early 90's were you born then? Anyways today's is so far ahead of that car it is hard to imagine.
