Just found my Beast's new stable mate

DrKevM5 · 07-28-2013, 04:27 PM

A family member secured one of the first pre-production C7 Z-51's. You should hear this thing. Acceleration is staggering. GM finally got it right. Can't wait, especially at this price point.

That is an awesome looking Vette. This is my 427 60th Anniversary Collectors Edition I picked up a couple months ago. There were only 50 made from the factory due to a production issue with the ZR1 rims.

DrKevM5 · 07-28-2013, 04:54 PM

Haven't bought a product from the General in some time, but they sucked me in...

DrKevM5 · 07-28-2013, 04:56 PM

Luscious...

Maddict3 · 07-28-2013, 04:59 PM

Holy! the vette looks insane

when will they be released?

Rohardi · 07-28-2013, 05:05 PM

That is VERY impressive looking! CONGRATS!

DrKevM5 · 07-28-2013, 05:06 PM

Just told her, she's excited

Expected 10/1/13

How'd he manage to snag a pre-production car?

Pazzo009 · 07-28-2013, 05:44 PM

I was never a Vette fan because they are so common and 90% who drive them are 65 and up and drive them like they are 80 and up. BUT...This thing is BAD ASS. Well played GM, Well played.

That's because she's about to make that Vette her b*tch!-kidding-lol!

Awesome Vette! What they have done with the interior is a huge leap from prior models.

DrKevM5 · 07-28-2013, 06:40 PM

Unfortunately, the switchgear doesn't have the quality feel, but the seats are amazing. If I could only get my M5 to sound half as good as this exhaust. And the tone is adjustable! Again, for 60k it's awesome. Chassis is very rigid, brakes outstanding. I cannot imagine what the ZO6 will be like, let alone the ZR-1.

Congrats again.

Point of clarification. It's his car, not mine. Yet...

wrsbmw · 07-28-2013, 08:21 PM

I had a Corvette in college 35 years ago and loved it. However, it's too low and being 6'4", I always hated that about the car back then. Girls did like to ride in it, for sure.

Today they have a different cachet. I think I read somewhere on the internet that it's sort of the successful plumber's car. Nevertheless, I have always had a spot in my heart for the Corvette.

DrKevM5 · 07-28-2013, 08:24 PM

They may very well change their image with this one.
