Just purchased a new 2016 SS. Im pretty excited. I wanted a C7 sooo bad but wifey wanted back seats and I couldn't really argue considering she didn't want me to get any muscle/sports car in the first place at all. Chevy salesman was really knowledgeable and said he had people stop and look at the C7s and compliment their looks all the time.
Test driving both I preferred the C7 It just felt like i was in a middle class super car. Or as close to one as ill ever get..
Im happy with my SS for now though its a hell of a car and faster than a COYOTE!
If we didn't really need the back seats though it woulda been a C7... Coulda got one like i wanted for around 7.5k more.
