20 Things We Love About the C7 Corvette | Sons of Speed

With the Corvette C8 set to be announced next month, we thought this would be the perfect time to revist all the things we love about the current C7 Corvettes, specifically the little things most people overlook. Yes there's the design, power and handling most people associate with the Corvette, but there's also so many little touches the designers and engineers put into the C7, and these little things have endeared this current Corvette to its owners and fans. So sit back and enjoy 20 Things We Love about the C7 Corvette!

We have a 2000 C5 Z51. Was bound and determined to add a C6 Z06 to the fleet, but since I'll be driving it almost daily, decided on a 2014 Z51 Stingray in Crystal Red Tintcoat with 37K miles that I picked up last weekend. Love it a little more every time I get in it. It's performance is amazing, especially considering it isn't even the Z06, ZR1, or Grand Sport. And, as this video suggests, it's a gadget lover's wet dream. Only wish mine had the video recorder and Apple Car Play that came in later years.

[@jmarkr100]

Have you had many problems? I’ve read a lot on the forums and YT about the auto tranny is crap and the wheels bend or crack. I was close to buying a 2017 GS but have decided against it.

[@helmuthmeier9635]

Previously, the Corvette had a perfect balanced axis load distribution of 50:50 thanks to the transaxle system. And now? We have a 60:40 distribution. Only advantage: Quicker acceleration at the start but that's it already. In curves, a mid-engine car will fly off the track/road if the driver is not experienced: "Mid engined cars are more dangerous than front-engined cars if the driver loses control - although this may be initially harder to provoke due to the superior balance - and the car begins to spin. The moment of inertia about the center of gravity is low due to the concentration of mass between the axles (similar to standing in the middle of a playground roundabout, rather than at the edge) and the spin will occur suddenly, the car will rotate faster and it will be harder to recover from. Conversely, a front-engined car is more likely to break away in a progressive and controllable manner as the tires lose traction" (Source: Wikipedia, Mid-engine cars, drawbacks). The front-engine Corvettes C5.R / C6.R / C7.R won so many times prestigious races against mid-engine "super"-cars like Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche etc. in Le Mans, Daytona, VIR etc. etc. Never change a winning configuration!

[@Viper3870750]

[@stephendibari5010]

@@SonsofSpeed I’m saving up for a 14-16 C7 manual. Question is Z51 or base ? I haven’t test drove either yet, I’m a year and half away from buying and don’t want to get tempted with borrowing more than I’m comfortable planning too. I’ve heard different opinions on the base is too soft and Z51 is too much for the street. I don’t plan on tracking it but will be driving quick on twisty roads but mostly (80% -90% of the time) will be street and highway cruising. Also is there a big difference in ride quality with 18/19 inch tires in the base versus 19/20 inch in the Z51? Especially in street driving ?

[@SonsofSpeed]

@@stephendibari5010 if you can swing it, we'd recommend a Z51 with the magnetic ride option. That will give you the best of both worlds on demand. The bigger tires will be a harsher ride, but they do a better job gripping in the corners and the mag-ride does a great job softening the suspension in touring mode.

[@stephendibari5010]

@@SonsofSpeed thanks! I asked this question on both post. I wanted to make sure I got a response. Sounds like the mag ride option is very popular with Z 51 correct?

Hell i even took it a couple of times in 94 lmao but my point is that car isn't even close to the car i have now. This car blows my mind! That 94 has shaped my mind ever since tho. My dream started off as a c5 z years ago and grew to a c6z z.... Which woulda been great as well.... But i new i woulda put more $$$ into c6 z to make it comparable to c7... So i said. Let's just get the c7 z06 and call it a day! So happy i did!

I wanted to add that my 2019 Grand Sport 7 speed manuel gets 31 miles per gallon(!) in 7th gear cruising at approx 82 mph!! This is after adding a cold air intake, custom performance intake manifold, long tube headers with cat delete, also an X-pipe, and adding an E-85 (Flexfuel) sensor with an E-85 tune. My GS generates approx 565 rear-wheel horsepower, and sounds to me much more unique and fearsome at full throttle than all the flat-plane crank Mustangs out there.

[@johnmoore3504]

2014 Premiere Edition owner here. Excellent list. Mag ride suspension is the greatest thing ever! As mentioned the car goes from touring car smooth to on rails stiff, it’s brilliant. 👍🏼 Pretty much the reason I got rid on my Nissan 350Z was the bone jarring ride. It was so bad the wife refused to ride it. The C7 is so smooth it’s not even comparable. This along with the performance exhaust are MUST have options. Buying a C7 without these would be a huge mistake. Sadly my 14 doesn’t have PDR 😓 the ventilated seats aren’t that great, they are not cooled, just fans circulating air, so kind of lame. The storage behind the radio is risky as that door is known to jam, so I don’t use it. The hatch is massive, like the video shows all my track tools fit. Wife uses for Costco runs as it holds double her Infiniti Q60’s trunk. I’ve gotten a max of 33 MPG during highway cruise using Eco (4 cylinder) mode. Functional aero shows they really engineered this thing, it’s built to perform. The targa top is nice, it’s like having a semi convertible. The top is light but a bit cumbersome. Rev match on the track and combined with performance exhaust is addictive. Customizable gauges are fantastic too, so much detailed information can be displayed. I too thought the HUD was a gimmick at first but now it’s feels like cars without are so last century. One thing you missed: the interior. I pretty much ruled out owning a GM product because their interiors were cheap plastic jokes, but the C7 is beautiful on the inside... suede, leather, aluminum and carbon fiber, even alcantara on the headliner. My brother has a Porsche and even he admits the C7 is on par.

[@jrparker4804]

I just got a C7…here to say that AFM (eco mode) on the A8 transmission is GM’s worst invention ever. Immediately bypassed it with a Range obd2 plug-in, but it’s still clunky. Having it go in and out of V4 and V8 is just ridiculous.

good segment, i have a 2014 Z51 3LT w/MRC. Agree with all your comments. My legs have given out to the point i had to get an automatic this time. And the rest of the C7 is so nice i am ok with the A6. I want to get the MRC update too, the soft ride is pretty lumpy for my CFO. God bless the seats too. My hip has a pinched nerve that has not acted up yet. I run in Eco most of the time. and if i need or want i can nail the gas to the floor and it roars off at 12 seconds in a quarter mile. after 8 corvettes over 50 years, this is without a doubt the best one ever. I may get over 6,000 miles this year and the car looks and drive like brand new. It paid for and I am retired so i can go anywhere anytime my CFO lets me.

Turn signal warning was on the c6 as well. Only thing I miss on my c6 and wish it was on my c7 z06 is turn signal showing up on HUD like the c6 had.

Plus, there are over 2000 Chevy dealerships if I ever need service. 3 years and 30k with this Corvette has shown to be more reliable than my 3 bought new Toyotas. The dashboard as seen from looking through the windshield down is the shape of a stingray.

Just didn't know if it's bad for the car to just keep in track mode 100% of the time.

THE CHEVROLET CORVETTE IS THE BEST CAR YOU CAN BUY... IT IS A RACECAR RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. 👍

[@vickyvain9190]

No! They wouldn't dare get rid of manual transmissions.....would they?

[@SonsofSpeed]

Right now it's a rumor, but apparently the transmission and differential are all in one unit, rumored to be DCT only :-( If enough people demand it, though, they will probably build it as they did patent a clutch by wire system recently.

[@victorialouden1912]

Vicky Vain yes its coming

It’s almost 2020. Manuel’s now are literally an outdated technology. Some people only want them because they think they are more fun to drive, but at this point, they are pointless to have. They aren’t quicker. Just an inconvenience if anything.

[@diamondrmp]

Well, a better way to drive a corvette on a nice day is a convertible. ;-)

You forget to talk about 1lt,2lt,or 3lt.

I am gonna sell my house to buy a Corvette.

[@SonsofSpeed]

We can’t argue with this choice!

[@therealjoshtodd]

Just FYI, you have it backwards about nav/pdr. While you can't get pdr without nav, you can absolutely get nav and not pay for the additional pdr option. Great video otherwise!

[@sonsofspeed8624]

Josh Todd actually, you can go through the configurator right now on corvette.com and you’ll see that if you add navigation, a window pops up saying it also includes the performance data and video recorder, and that the cost is $1,795.00.

[@therealjoshtodd]

@@sonsofspeed8624 huh, guess you're right. I stand corrected! I don't even see a nav option anymore, just adding the pdr. I guess people like me whined too much about having to pay for both nav AND pdr so they just put it in one package. Not sure when they changed it. in 2016 when i bought my stingray, they were 2 separate options and you could get nav without pdr. in 2018 when i bought my Z06, i just got a 3LZ which comes with it automatically so I didn't have to deal with it. probably a change for the better, really!

Very lovable indeed,except for ricers,Hahahahaha

Never buy a C7 with the A8 transmission if you can avoid it. AFM (active fuel management) will ruin lifters, and going in and out of V8 to V4 is terrible.
