Might walk from C7 to SS
I was torn between the both of them , I ended up falling in love with the C7 the cockpit feel the way it delivered its experience and the price of the 2SS reaching close to the Z51.
Now that I have had it for a couple months I truly do love it, but my original goal was to drive my daily toyota solara and use the c7 for nice windy roads , track and trips. Now I realize the Daily Driving is pretty much 90 percent of what I am do, and that trips and tracks and such end up a low percentage of actual use . For me taking the C7 everywhere is sometimes to flashy esp when I go to my grad school and such So Im contemplating switching to a 2SS what are your thoughts? I know I'll take a hit Paid 57,500, MSRP was 64k for the z51 1lt was considering going to a 2SS and making it my daily and ditching the toyota... give me the good the bad and the ugly? I do love those T tops might consider the convertible ! The Zl1 would be an option but don't want to go to under if i end up selling at 55K plus the 60,for zl1 plus tax feels like more out than i want but probably should of just got that to begin with! So I'm settling in on a fully loaded 2017 2ss possibly , depending on trade in vs selling it myself. |

Gotta sell yourself. You could get full bluebook for it that way. You'll take a big hit on a trade. I personally would do that and then go get the 2SS Beast. Shouldnt have a hard time selling it if its in good to excellent condition. Every car i traded was almost perfect and i felt ripped off but was in a rush.

Is it only about being flashy?
If you're looking at the Camaro for more room as a daily, keep in mind that you're not going to be much better off in the Camaro. It only has 9 cu-ft of trunk space compared to the C7's 15 cu-ft, though you can fold the seat down or use the back seat. However the back seats are all but useless for passengers other than children or very short people. |

Before you trade maybe try mixing the C7 into your daily driving for 2-3 days a week. Or just drive the Toyota on the crappy days and enjoy the C7 more. If you sell or trade there is no avoiding a big $ hit.

I struggled with the same thought process when looking. My first thought was a C7, but I realized that the C7 would be more of a garage queen than a daily driver. After pricing, I realized I could purchase a 2SS with a S/C for the same price as a mid-level C7. Test driving them both sold me on the 2SS. The C7 is fantastic to drive, but the 2SS was 90-95% of the driving experience of the C7. Overall cost of ownership is cheaper too; insurance for one.
It was the right decision. I'll admit that I don't drive the 2SS every day, but I know I'm driving it a lot more than I would drive the C7. I still lust after a C7, but only if I'm not driving the 2SS. That said, a trade is temping..... |

I too have a C7 and am considering this very trade myself. I love the C7 but for me it is just too hard to get in and out of anymore. I've had both knees replaced and now am looking at a hip replacement so the days of low slung two-seat sports cars are over for me.
I've driven both an A8 and M6 version of the 2SS and really like them both. But I think for all practical purposes, I will go with the A8 just for pure convenience and the fact it is a little quicker if I would decide to take it to a Test and Tune session at a local track.

Seeing the cockpit of the c7, I'm not impressed.

I used my C6 as a daily driver. No reason a C7 can't be. Unless its a standard. NVM Its a standard. ..... Same reason my 15 GT PP sits in the garage most of the time.

Honestly get over yourself, too flashy? Its a corvette not a ferrari. And the new camaro is just as nice. So do us all a favor and keep your stingray
