The Corvette has really grown on me. I don't like to buy new. Perhaps a used Z06. 7.0L's of tire burning goodness.

I'd hate to part with the 2007 that I supercharged. Too much FUN!!
"The Good Wife" wants to see what the C7 convertibles look like in person.
She then may be willing to part with the 2002 convertible.
That's me in the saleperson's-cubicle---third one from the right, in the first Red Corvette picture...
trying to swing a deal on one like the Silver Ice Z-51 pictured above.
What do you think of the taillamps? They do have a perceived "depth" when I viewed them in person.
And they are completely different than the 2014 Camaros' taillamps.
There are still ongoing "Boardroom-talks" about having 6-cyl twin turbos for some C7 versions!

Im not sure what to think of that grill. Looks almost like a goofy smile...could be a little more aggressive. I really like the new rear window and back end. Super aggressive.

I'd at least take the "chrome" piece of trim off...poste haste...
and powdercoat it black to match the grille's color.
Did you notice there was no "engineered-in" front license plate bracket location?
Just like the C6's: The GM furnished bracket for the C7 is a "glue-on"...

22,000 miles and its 5th set of tires.
They just don't last for some reason.

Are they wearing on the edges or are they wearing evenly? That is crazy, especially considering the cost of the tires. That means your getting less than 5k miles for a set of tires that likely cost a small fortune.
My BMW M Roadster has 40k on it and is still on its original factory set of Continentals. While I know these are 2 different cars, does Continental make a tire for your car? Maybe they last longer?
I bought Kumhos in a cheap moment for my old non-M BMW Z4. I only got 20k out of them. The Contis in the M still have enough tread for probably 8k on them. Same body (e85) but I'm getting over 2x the mileage out of the Contis, even with the more powerful M engine. Wheels are different sizes, so rotation isn't an option on the M - yet the tires still last. I'm quite impressed with these Contis and will buy them again.
By the way, that new Corvette really looks nice. I always hated Corvettes, but they keep getting better and better looking each generation.

Yeah, i think removing the chrome would improve the front end. Sweet car overall. I'd kill to have one haha. I hate front license plates. Glad to see there iant a place for one.
