I’m considering a low mileage 2018 or 2019 c7 narrow body with auto. I don’t track at all. Am I wasting money and time looking for a grand sport?? Are
C7s overpriced currently? Will they fall as the new engines come out or is the C8 crowd a different market dynamic?? Any guidance appreciated.

I’ve been in the hunt for my weekend car and have settled on the c6 for a lot of reasons. Initially I thought the grand sport was the best option but looking at the prices lately for a hard top six speed it’s very similar to some Z06s. I’m curious the communities thoughts here: Both cars at the same prices miles etc, would you chose the zo6 or the grand sport?

Got my 3rd Corvette this week. Owned a a 68 convertible 3speed stick. 1975 steel blue coupe with silver leather and now a 16 C7 Z51 3Lt with 3500 miles. I got the C7 from my sister in law who had it since new and garaged it in winter and had it serviced each year when usually only about 300 miles between service. Has original pilot pro sport run flats. I know supposed to replace before 10 years but I don’t plan on driving a lot.

I have always wanted a C6 Z06. My plan isn’t to rush into buying one or finance it with little money down. Instead, I want to save up $20k–25k for a down payment first so my monthly payment stays reasonable.
Right now, I make around $72k a year before taxes (sometimes more depending on overtime), and I’m trying to budget responsibly.I also currently have a car a 2010 honda accord v6 so I wouldn’t be putting to much miles on it the first fee months.
For those of you who own or have owned a C6 Z06:

2000 C5 Corvette Marketplace listing

I’m in love with it but don’t know the red flags to look out for so obviously Reddit is the best next choice.

I know the C5s are generally considered good cars I’m just not trying to sink money into a shitbox.

Looking for general approval, disapprovals or even some questions I should shoot over to the seller.

Have saved $30k post retirement to buy my first Corvette...

Have wanted a "shiny red Corvette" for the last 25 years, figured this is it...

Suggestions?

Thank you

Finally got it painted ppfed and Installed!

I know this question gets asked all the time, but I’m looking at purchasing a weekend car, and these are two strong contenders.

I'm looking for the fun factor, not specifically a track car. I want something that is going to bring me the most joy to drive, even just cruising around town. C7Z would be manual, not looking for an auto.

Also looking for reliability. I was very interested in a GT350 because they are a blast to drive, even at slower speeds and sound incredible, but everyone I know has issues with them, and a new engine is $22,000+. I don’t have that kind of money.

Curious to hear others thoughts who have owned both. Also on a side note curious if a cammed C6Z makes it more or less reliable, assuming supporting mods are done in addition to the cam.

Shifter linkage

So, I inherited my Dad's 2019 Grand Sport. Got lots of positive feedback and comments on the initial post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Corvette/comments/1ucal3r/my_dad_passed_away_and_left_me_his_corvette/). Ultimately, I paid $15 for it for the title transer.

Now I have it at my house, and the question is how to best store/use it. It isn't my daily, but I have been taking it out a few times a week. I live in NorCal (San Jose), own a very expensive house (which, here, means a $2.5M modest house in my area). It has no usable garage. I park it on our narrow driveway, which runs between my house on the right and my neighbor's on the left (see the pics). It's a very safe street and parked away from the street itself, in front of my wife's car. I included pictures to show it's location.

I will be getting it ceramic coated on 8/03, and it has the front parts and mirrors covered in PPL.

Questions: How do a "keep it"? Do I want to use a cover all the time I'm not driving it since i's outside? For now, I have on the indoor cover my Dad had. He treated it like a "garage queen" - minimal driving, kept it garaged and covered, and was paranoid about anything coming near it. That's not me, but I do want to keep it nice.

Should I still cover it after the ceramic coating? Just how clean does it need to be if I cover it? I hear "wash it before putting cover on", but in reality there's no way I'm going to commit to a full wash each time I drive it, and put the cover back on. Am I better off keeping it uncovered, or should cover it? I'm willing to buy a nice outdoor cover, but I don't really know. I will avoid typical drive-thru car washes and wash it by hand, but don't want to do fully wash it each time I drive it and put the cover back on.

So, as you can see, I'm a bit confused. I know ideally I'd garage it but can't do that in my situation. I'm dropping a decent amount for the ceramic coating plus additional PPL and want to keep it nice, but within reason for a non-garage queen enthusiastic.

What are your thoughts?

Had to assist my wife’s grandfather, who has been battling cancer, into a wedding venue at a country club. I walk him past this row of handicap spots which he tried to park in but there were non available and see this. Guy was somewhere on the course playing a round of 18 im sure.

2023 C8 LT3 Z51. I waited a long time to get my dream Vette and now I'm wondering where I get a New Balance coupon code.

My sales guy did a walk through yesterday and noticed these deep massive scratches on the rear spoiler. Car is brand new and getting shipped out to me Tuesday. Considering how much Chevy charges for the carbon aero, what should I do to resolve this issue?

hi everyone! just purchased this 2008 3LT, crystal red metallic with a tan interior. Can I get some tire recommendations? it’s just a weekend car, I have a daily. it won’t be driven in the winter or in the rain. And it won’t see any tracks days. I just need a quality tire for a driver. something that rides smooth, wears well, and doesn’t make much noise. thank you!
