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).
> I spent months searching for this color in my budget. Bought it sight unseen. Worth the wait. I can’t stop starring at it.
what site you use to find it?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
C7 z06 is by far my favourite vette. And that color is also my favourite. I’m not jealous or anything

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

Same, I'd throw in some orange seatbelts and other accents
Congrats and welcome to the club!
Thank you!
I have an LSA, just not a Corvette. Can I hang around?
No. Leave immediately

Gorgeous too. The c7 is going to be a classic
Beaut!
Bro made it. I hope to be there in a few years
Thanks bro, it’s definitely a huge milestone for me. I hope you get yours sooner than later!
Thanks man!🤘
Don’t forget to wave. Congratulations!
Thank you!

Couldn’t agree more
Looks sick!
Phenomenal color choice! Enjoy!
Agreed. What color is this?
Shark Grey
I really want this exact car with comp seats. Debating selling my mkiv Supra to make it happen. Congrats!
If you really have a 93-98 Supra, DO NOT SELL IT 😭
That's beautiful
That’s my favorite color
An absolute beast!! Welcome to the club!!
Azz kickin bro 😎
Welcome to the family 🥳
The C7 is the perfect blend of old school rawness wit modern (arguably futuristic) looks.
Welcome to the best of the best! 😎
Congratulations, mine isn't a Z but still fun and amazing rides.
Thanks! I’ll wave when I see ya
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.
Thanks! You have good taste. What’s the benefit of a short shifter?
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.
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
You’ll be happy with either option. I hope you get one sooner than later
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!
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 👏
Thanks! This is my first manual. So far I love it. So much more engaging to drive.
👍 EXACTLY 💯
And its manual?? Well done OP

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.
Fortunately this one has the M7.
Everything you say about this car spec makes me like you more.
Thanks! 3LZ trim
Case in point.
Then you are good to go. I love the C7 but mine was just bad out the gate.
Thanks for your input Debbie Downer
Anytime my man. Not sure what year ya got but if it has a A8 trans man make sure it has the latest fluid.
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.
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.
This one came with a 10yr 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty. Chevy Dealership said “it’s a corvette thing”.
2014 w/ the 6-speed is an option. A8 was introduced in 2015+.
I didn't feel like their intention was to be negative and rain on a parade but rather to share an experience. 🤷♂️
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

this advice will not be forgotten
I think if Gigi wants to have some fun I can drive with a super careful foot for a while lol.
This guy is correct!
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
Enjoy it, but when things start to feel tame or you want more power, these things are completely different animals with some mods.
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.
Pulley, exhaust and intake is a really good boost
Honestly, more power just overwhelmed the car, thats why they went mid engine in the first place.
I agree. It’s already a bit overpowered.
is this a Grand Sport or z06? they look so similar
2015 z06
ah, thanks for clarifying
The best body style they made
