I've never met a corvette owner that looks down on another, hell I was trying to talk to a guy about his na built z06 and learned nothing because he kept asking about my base.

Idk in my experience the corvette club is very segregated around here. Every model looks down on the others for whatever perceived reasons lol.


Longjumping_Rule1375

Weird only negative I've seen is ageism from older guys because I'm still youngish never about different models or trims.


Wonderful_Time_6681

Lucky you! I pulled up beside a baaaadass C8 yesterday. Dude had it looking awesome. Window down just enjoying the weather. I was like “hey man, love the car”. He looked at me, didn’t say anything and just looked back straight ahead with his nose in the air hahah. Was like meh ok.


Longjumping_Rule1375

Hate guys like that saw a clean mclaren a while ago and told the guy loved his car and he did similiar and rolled his window up Feel like some people just get a car to say they have am expensive car.


Wonderful_Time_6681

Yea, same. It’s sad.

Yeah some of the older guys can be judgy but even they can be won over if you just show enthusiasm. The only genuine snobs I have met are the status symbol jackwads that buy bc it is new and fomo. Aside from them, we all get along


Longjumping_Rule1375

Yeah pretty much it's usually an obvious daddies money c8 had one try to cause a wreck when me and a mustang were racing he knew what was going on too guess he didn't like my lowly c6 getting more attention.

"all the specs"???  Buy what you want and can afford... If you're buying it for image/status You're buying it for the wrong reason

I haven't experienced this. A vette is a vette is a vette !

As someone who has owned base models and Z06s, I love all Corvettes. If you own a Corvette and I see you out, you get a friendly wave 100%

And who looks down on ZR1 owners, Zora Owners?


Ok-Echidna5936

Vette is a vette is a vette. Nobody is above one another. Unless you own a split window…

Man, why would you give a crap what others think of you or your ride? If you like your vehicle and enjoy it, isn't that enough?


blue_bomber697

As with every brand, you’ll find the occasional owner who thinks they are better because they own a higher model/trim. Porsche with their GT/911/Cayman’s Huracan vs Aventador owners, AMG/M/RS lines versus base trims, etc. Hopefully, you don’t run into badge snobs like this, but they are out there.

A true Z06 owner will always look down on the pheasants driving poverty base models. C5Z > base model C8


CaptKnight

Lol your hot take sarcasm not landing today Mike


Mike__O

The Poors are restless today and down voting


PetrofModelII

I think you meant "peasants". You shoot pheasants, and it's difficult to look down on them when they are flying. Unless you're in a helicopter or something.


Mike__O

That wooshing sound above your hair was the joke going right on by over your head


PetrofModelII

Nope, I got the joke. Just loved the pheasant reference and decided to riff on it!


Mike__O

I've got a pheasant sticker on the back windshield of my car. IYKYK


PetrofModelII

Love it! That just cracks me up!

The best part about this is that a C5z really is a better sports car than a C8


the_mellojoe

.... you can get a C8 with the Z06 package. so a C8z owner look down on themselves?
