Can't go wrong with a C7 or a 6th gen Camaro, both are amazing. I think I will be upgrading to a C7 after the warranties up on the Camaro.

Any reason you went for the trade or just wanted something different but with the same power?

we are looking to purchase a new house at the end of the year.

also the bumper to bumper warranty was out on the corvette.

another reason so my wife can drive the car if needed the c7 was manual and the new Camaro is automatic,

I love the gen 6 camaro, but damn I don't know how you let those C7s go. Both of those are gorgeous.

The only thing that holds me up from a C7 is I need back seats to put my little ones in...and this coming from a guy who loves the 6th gen and thinks its the best Camaro ever built. At this point, I may play the wait and see game for the next gen vette. They are already spanking euros for a third of the cost and if they go mid engine it might be even more filthy.

...I am also slightly concerned that I would want to go after a Z06 and I would probably wrap it around a tree in a week.

All great reasons. I too was wondering why.

Welcome to the club! I think you'll enjoy the Camaro.

Welcome. At least it's not a huge downgrade (; Love the color of the c7 btw. Wasn't a fan of gray until the new darker tone on these two cars.

LOL. I am in the same spot as I prep to order mine.

The unfortunately reality is I may need her to drive it occasionally and I dont think I want her learning on this.
