The C8 will be a Cadillac anyway... We've all read the rumors that the successor to the C7 (Z06 equivalent/superior performance) will wear a Cadillac badge. When you consider that Corvettes have traditionally been a famous "performance bargain", and they certainly are, at the end of the day...

Like my signature says... Thanks for your thoughts LLC5. I think you're dead on, and given my respect for your industry experience, I respect your opinion that much more. Of course you're right -- it would always be a used car whose value subject to market forces. With the C8 on the horizon...

Exactly... Thanks for writing (anyway) corvette addict. That in essence is my point. I guess if you have all the necessary resources (e.g., SPACE & $$$), and you are a 30 - 40 something, collecting -- or flipping -- apparently can be very rewarding. I simply got in the game too late...

I guess I lost my mind for a minute there... Ok, I've 'sobered-up'. Vettes are mass-produced cars meant to be DRIVEN, and a terrible "investment" regardless of a 000,002 serial number. And key-rist, I'm 67! Besides, as I said (apparently only to myself), I don't even like the looks of C7's (but...

First, THANK YOU for your service. Second, this is heartbreaking and has to be THE worst new Vette disaster I've ever heard. I agree with the guys -- there is no 'win' for you here. So very sorry to see this happen to one of or best...

Gentlemen -- I know it's been awhile between posts. I won't bore you with 'why'. Anyway, I JUST tumbled over a 2018 Z06, yes, an '18 -- with the serial number ending in 000002. And it's black wine -- maybe the last C7s in that paint color. It has a 2LZ trim with Kalahari leather, carbon flash...

Here's what I'm talking about... I hope this link works for you. A 2001 (not the best year for Z06s), yellow, red interior with less than 1,000 miles -- that's not a typo -- that you could probably negotiate down to say $28,500. Lets see if the link works: Used Chevrolet Corvette For Sale...

I have been studying the various light upgrades from some of the aftermarket houses touting LED replacements for the interior lighting to headlights. Just wondering if any of you guys have any experience with this upgrade's value vs. cost and hassle. I will appreciate any thoughts on this...

Just forgot to add... Buying a car from a forum member is generally the safest route. And from a quick glance in the for sale section, there are some sweet looking deals. Just sayin'...

A C5 is your best investment. Period. Welcome Ken. I'm a newbie here and very impressed with the CAC. You'll find that it distinguishes itself from so many other forums in that it is information/help driven. So many other forums are nothing but pen pal sites. Spending your precious time here...

Delighted to be here...DELIGHTED! WOW -- what a warm welcome you and so many of the other guys have offered. Amazing experience. Thanks so much!

And I AM glad...LOL Thanks so much Cat. This is an amazing group and the data and information here is wonderfully overwhelming. I was blown away by the presentations on batteries. Through dumb luck, I purchased the correct glass mat Optima battery immediately after buying my Z06 last November...

Here's the BEST way to have your wheels treated with a PermaStar PVD finish First you need to decide if you want the traditional-look bright chrome finish called 'Bright Diamond' or the finish I had done, 'Black Ice'. Both come with a 5 year, 100,000 mile warranty. You'll never get THAT from a...

You're goona like it here... I joined just a few days ago and got a similar warm welcome. Amazing, eh? Here's me and my baby just before a run in the rain at summit point. Talk about thrill...

Loflmao Too funny. Life is short and a challenge, and then you get a ticket for 120 in a 50...sigh... Kidding!!!
