    I can't wait for 2 to 3 years from now when the used price drops down to about 35,000 to 40,000 so I can buy a base corvette.

    Question lets say I brought a C7 2015 Stingray. Is there an actual difference between it and a C7 2019 Stingray or does the year just tell when it was manufactured?

    I remember watching this interview when the stingray was first revealed. Never was big on Corvettes, but after this interview and reveal I was a fan. Fast forward and I just picked my '24 Z06 a few weeks after dreaming about owning a corvette for so long. Salute to Tadge who's retiring as of this summer and going out with a bang, delivering us the 1064 hp ZR1!!

    Minor update, it is 2019 and i just bought a 2014 C7 Z51 with 5,000 miles on it and am thrilled with the quality and performance. My last Corvette was a 2007 White Z06 and i do not miss it a bit. Best deal for $45,000 on the market.

    I'm not a huge corvette fan, but the new design looks great. I love direct fuel injection. And I'm super impressed with the fact that GM went for it. All of the gents in the video are EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. It's really refreshing to listen to that depth of understanding. Lots of work went in to the making of this automobile, and like a said I'm not a huge Corvette fan, but I definitely can give credit where credit is due. Bravo comrades, bravo.

    It's about time. Finally an interior that actually looks like it belongs in a 40+ grand car. The car looks sexy as hell, but the interior has always been a drag (on Chevy as a whole not just the vette.) Nothing like dropping 40,000 bucks on a car to sit in a 40 dollar interior. And truth be told, I think the big three as a whole have stepped their game up quite a bit in the last couple yrs, It's good to be an American car fan again.

    The Chief GM designer said they were thinking about putting back the Split Windows, but The C2 was An all time classic for being one of the beautiful cars made in the world, they didn't want to re-use that style simply because it was "Priceless". so they used a technique of kind of mimicking the rear window by putting those 2 quarter windows on the side of the car, for giving the car a kind of retro but all new look."
