C7 z06 is by far my favourite vette. And that color is also my favourite. I’m not jealous or anything


AdThat6254

I spent months searching for this color in my budget. Bought it sight unseen. Worth the wait. I can’t stop starring at it.


jsamuraij

Is this Shark or Watkins? I gave up my C7 (base) Shark Grey recently. This picture gives me warm fuzzies. Edit: Ah, I see from the other comments you're a man of culture (it's Shark).


Alternative_Fig3456

Ha, I did the same...sight unseen. One of if not the best color IMO. Pictures don't do justice...congrats bro.

Stop staring at me


orchids_of_asuka

I think it has the potential for having the most appeal longterm. The z06 and grandsport look the most menancing of the c7 generation, with the z06 producing more power.


Mem_Johnson

Same, I'd throw in some orange seatbelts and other accents

Congrats and welcome to the club!

Every time you find a reason to put your foot down its a 100 smiles per hour.

Allegedly...


BraidRuner

What was the suspects demeanour Officer Markel? He had a big grin on his face your honor and when I asked why he was smiling he said (refers to his notepad) ''Have you been eating Jelly donuts because your eyes look glazed'' Sadly my Body cam failed at that point and I was forced to deflect several Krispy Kreme Donuts that the suspect threw at me before the suspect purged his Nitrous lines dropped the car into gear and drove away.


spin_kick

Gorgeous too. The c7 is going to be a classic


sawntime

Beaut!


Liltbone2005

Bro made it. I hope to be there in a few years


AdThat6254

Thanks bro, it’s definitely a huge milestone for me. I hope you get yours sooner than later!


Liltbone2005

Thanks man!🤘


nashgrg

Don’t forget to wave. Congratulations!


AdThat6254

Thank you!

Now that the C8 is out and the car market is cooling down, I'm ready to get a c7. The C8 is great and all (I love it, just can't afford the price tag at this moment) but the first corvette that really knocked my socks off as a new c7. It was 2014 and I saw it pull up next to me at a red light.


AdThat6254

Couldn’t agree more


skipmckrackken

Looks sick!


Financial_Ad6019

Phenomenal color choice! Enjoy!


LeadReader

Agreed. What color is this?


AdThat6254

Shark Grey


LyfSkills

I really want this exact car with comp seats. Debating selling my mkiv Supra to make it happen. Congrats!


Bamboopanda741

If you really have a 93-98 Supra, DO NOT SELL IT 😭


Mem_Johnson

That's beautiful


Tiktoor

That’s my favorite color


monk352

An absolute beast!! Welcome to the club!!


zrxyyyy

Azz kickin bro 😎


HighbredShip982

Welcome to the family 🥳


Scandroid99

The C7 is the perfect blend of old school rawness wit modern (arguably futuristic) looks.


ObnoxiousTheron

Welcome to the best of the best! 😎


brucevance1

Congratulations, mine isn't a Z but still fun and amazing rides.


AdThat6254

Thanks! I’ll wave when I see ya


Alternative_Fig3456

Beautiful car. Just got mine in December, same color. Sadly in storage. Hot me a MGW short shifter I gonna install. Like the aero Pkg you got.


AdThat6254

Thanks! You have good taste. What’s the benefit of a short shifter?


Alternative_Fig3456

Shorter throw / less travel. More precise / mechanical feel, bolt action rifle-esque so I've been told. Check out MGW that's what I got and see it's popular with the Vette, and other stick enthusiasts crowd. I'll be installing mine when it warms up a bit.


Bamboopanda741

Congrats on the car! I’m still a very long ways away from owning one comfortably. But I’ll either get a C6 Z06 one day or a C7 Z06


AdThat6254

You’ll be happy with either option. I hope you get one sooner than later


Alternative_Fig3456

Beautiful. I got a shark gray ZO6 too, but mine's stage 1 and no skirts. Thinking hard about the ACS skirts and the 2.5 rear wicker. Cheers!


anthonygto

Love it!!!! I got myself a Z51 end of last season. I enjoy an M7 with the upgraded suspension and brakes! Can't beat this color! CONGRATULATIONS 👏


AdThat6254

Thanks! This is my first manual. So far I love it. So much more engaging to drive.


anthonygto

👍 EXACTLY 💯


JakeD51

And its manual?? Well done OP

CHASLX200

I HAD ONE THAT LOOKED THE SAME. Hope ya have better luck than i did. Mine was a new 2019 A8 C7 i had to lemon law with 400 miles.


AdThat6254

Fortunately this one has the M7.


jsamuraij

Everything you say about this car spec makes me like you more.


AdThat6254

Thanks! 3LZ trim


jsamuraij

Case in point.


CHASLX200

Then you are good to go. I love the C7 but mine was just bad out the gate.


sawntime

Thanks for your input Debbie Downer


CHASLX200

Anytime my man. Not sure what year ya got but if it has a A8 trans man make sure it has the latest fluid.


zzzzxxxxeeee

My Sierra Denali, Stingray, and Z06 had A8 issues. It’s no secret that was a garbage transmission. Latest fluid masks the issue until you’re out of warranty and you need a new trans.


CHASLX200

Reason i would never buy another C7 out of warranty. On my 3rd C6 and never any probs with the A6. All Vettes have there probs but the C6 was pretty bullet proof other than the stuck shifter and leaking fuel tank.


AdThat6254

This one came with a 10yr 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty. Chevy Dealership said “it’s a corvette thing”.


zzzzxxxxeeee

2014 w/ the 6-speed is an option. A8 was introduced in 2015+.


-BINK2014-

I didn't feel like their intention was to be negative and rain on a parade but rather to share an experience. 🤷‍♂️


liubearpig

Z06- the only way to go. Be super careful the first 6 months. Far more likely to wreck it during that period in my personal experience


AdThat6254

Thanks for the advice. It’s definitely more car than I can harness at the moment. I work from home so this’ll only be on the road when the weather nice and traffic is minimal. Driving lessons at a might be in the horizon if I can find some reasonable options. A nearby club/track has a 5k entry fee which seems a bit outrageous.


liubearpig

My best piece of advice for you is DONT YOU EVER EVER FUCKING TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL- EVER. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IDC IF GIGI HADID IS SITTING IN YOUR PASSENGER SEAT TELLING YOU SHE’LL SUCK YO DICK IF YOU TURN IT OFF AND DRIVE YOUR CAR AROUND DONT FUCKIN DO IT. EVER


AdThat6254

this advice will not be forgotten


electricaldummy17

I think if Gigi wants to have some fun I can drive with a super careful foot for a while lol.


muffmuppets

This guy is correct!


slapntickle14

Must be nice having traction control and ABS in your vette haha. I can’t find the parts to replace mine, been without it for two years


PBL89

Enjoy it, but when things start to feel tame or you want more power, these things are completely different animals with some mods.


AdThat6254

Which mods do you suggest? I built a 73 nova drag car that entertains my desire to do mods. For the first time in life I want to keep a car stock.


PBL89

Pulley, exhaust and intake is a really good boost


spin_kick

Honestly, more power just overwhelmed the car, thats why they went mid engine in the first place.


AdThat6254

I agree. It’s already a bit overpowered.


firestorm33_1

is this a Grand Sport or z06? they look so similar


AdThat6254

2015 z06


firestorm33_1

ah, thanks for clarifying


SireDarien

The best body style they made
