Is the C7 Corvette Stingray Still Worth it?

Let's take a look at the C7 corvette stingray and see if it's worth the $45,000 price tag!

Just got a 2015 Stingray. My Dream Car! Love it!!!

[@estern001]

2019 GS owner here. You can mix and match your steering, suspension, and tach. I like Track Steering, Sport Tach, and Tour Suspension. Oh, and exhaust I leave in Sport. Another oddity that no one mentions is the asymmetry of the door panels. They're different, and cool. Tire pressure being critical to the performance of any car, I leave it on the dash screen.

I didn't expect to, but I love this car. Drove loads (all around 10 years old) for a supercar company: Dodge Charger / Hellcat, Maserati, Lotus Evora, Nissan GTR, Merc AMG, 911, Gallardos, McLarens, but for some reason this is still my favourite car in the fleet. It's flipping quick, makes a great noise, makes you smile, you can take the roof off, really comfortable, easy to drive, not even the quickest on track but I don't care. I just love it! Want one shipped to the UK...

I purchased my 2014 convertible z51 2 years ago. Love watching your video. Makes me realize I picked up an incredible car. I might of paid a little more than I should have. But I purchased it from an older guy who is the president of one of the corvette clubs here in Colorado. Absolutely love this car.

[@eekay3646]

I just bought a '15 Z51 7-speed 3 months ago. Awesome car. Like the one in this vid, I also replaced the grill with a Z06 style one.

[@7suarezf]

purchased a 2014 C7 stingray 3LT Manual in October 2022, it had 1,800 miles when I bought it. I feel it is the right amount of fun / enjoyable fast.

[@pmeawad]

Oh and btw … the competition seats and carbon fiber dash are not specific to the z06, they’re optional on any c7. My stingray has them. And also - the 991 and 992 Porsche 911 and the Aston Martin Vantage also have 7 speed manuals

[@132ndave8]

Glad your still making these videos. I watched a ton of info videos before buying my C7 in January, including yours, and it definitely helped me influence my purchase. Even though I already have the car, I still enjoy watching these for some reason 😂 the more you know I guess.

[@ProfessorDrives]

Huge congrats on the C7!! How are you liking it so far? And what color did you get?

[@132ndave8]

@@ProfessorDrives Thank you, it's such an amazing car! Coming from a V6, when I was driving back home from the initial purchase, I was kinda scared because of the power of this thing. 😂 I'm more comfortable with it now and it's engine power when unleashed is insane. I ended up getting it in Sterling Blue.

[@ronnie_5150]

Love your enthusiasm, and review style. Keep it up! Nice review.

[@pmeawad]

Great video, couldn’t agree more. Love my c7 z51. I think the c7 vette is actually the only modern sports car that combines light weight, manual transmission, RWD, and an NA v8. Can’t think of anything else that offers that.

[@josephgarcia9079]

Not to mention above average gas mileage for a Sports car 💯

[@TfamSoprano]

doesn’t the c8 offer all that?

[@pmeawad]

@@TfamSoprano no, c8 is automatic only and much heavier. Still a great car, just loses me on the auto only thing

[@hpickettz34]

C7's start at 3400lbs

[@pmeawad]

@@hpickettz34 c7 stingray is 3250

[@pramey]

youre such a good presenter holy fuck youre going to be big in the future. very concise delivery youre great my guy

[@teamsypher2040]

Currently own a 2014 c7 stingray z51 which is the first year model c7 and I purchased it for 35k flat which is crazy to me & I love it.

[@CorneliusRushtie]

When did your purchase it, and how many miles? Thx

[@MichaelNiteRealEstate]

Enjoy bud! Got my ‘17 7speed new, still have it today. 44k miles. Hard to want to give it up for something different without spending so much more $$.

[@jimbobdrg3247]

I'm pumped - looking at one now with a Z51 performance package, but would like the 2LT option treatment!

[@TyZo6]

Love my c7z! Still want to mod it one of these days. Think cam is needed lol

[@extremebaggers7817]

Nice video I just bought a 2016 Z 51. Unfortunately, on the stingray, the rear vents on the quarter panels are not functional if not Z51

[@Drumbeat52]

If I am going to pay $45,000.00 for a vette they better not show me that wrinkled arm rest behind the shifter! Replace the damn thing before you put it on the lot! Damn! That's like showing me a Lamborghini with bumper stickers!

[@gen-X-trader]

I love these for the price and the fact prices are returning to more of a norm. Just in the past few weeks I have watched a few lower mileage early cars sell mid 30s and really nice sub 25K mile Grand sports sell low 50s. The good deals are out there, they just don't stay on the listings more than a week

[@slapyomama2times873]

I absolutely love my c7, but I just ordered a c8 and it’s going to be here just about 2 months im beyond excited lol

[@ProfessorDrives]

HOT DAMN, congrats!!!!

[@mjdino9803]

Big money lol congratulations bro

[@dondon-tn1xs]

Just picked up 2014 C7 with the seven speed manual last month. My previous cars just to name a few S200, FD RX7, 996 I have to say the C7 is my all-time favorite car. I picked mine up for $36k one owner car with 60,000 miles

[@mnaeseth24]

I bought in 2020 my 2014 c7 z71 for manual $34k that was a great deal. Now they selling for 40k+ now it’s not a good deal if your looking for one

[@gen-X-trader]

Prices are coming right back to where you paid. The good deals typically sell pretty quick but I have seen a few low mileage early c7s sell in the mid-30s in the past few weeks.

[@EJleon96]

$34k in 2020 is about $40k now lol blame inflation for being the number one cause of price increases. Technically though, most people are making much more money now compared to back then so affordability wise it’s about the same assuming you are making more money now

[@frankster2402]

I really want a corvette, but not a stingray. I’ll wait a few more months and just get a Z06

[@Tubes12AX7k]

Your car doesn't have it, but the cooled seats are a great option. I use mine all the time. With the air conditioning on, you can cool your seats down nicely. Also, about the hood vent - it extracts heat from the radiator and it actually contributes a little bit to the down force at the front.

[@hyogomarume8345]

Which exhaust is that?

[@Celi.1360]

Best looking car ever

[@Z3ROZS]

thinking about selling my rcf for one

[@danziger69]

It's a great car, but the C6 might be a better deal. The LS3 makes 436/430, is indestructible and the C6 weighs 3200lbs, so comparable performance without direct injection. The C7 interior is far better than the C6.

[@cano4458]

bro this is such a cool car. dont mind the price tag.. even if i were the richest man, I'd have one of these

[@richthepup]

Makes me miss good buddy Nico down in Texas and his z06 build before he got jammed up and stop posting 😔

[@idohearthatersdgk]

Worst part about this video is I bought a 2015 c7 z51 with a built motor and full exhaust for 38500 back in 2018 with 38k on the odometer. I foolishly sold it before car prices went insane and I miss it until this day.

[@Itsmelmc]

I bought a c7 brand new for $48K in 2018. Not sure if $45k 6.5 years later is a good deal.

[@user-so3hu2xt9z]

Just got c7 z51 M7 3lt

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Compared to the dumpster fire that is the C8, this car is definitely worth it

[@jp-dg8ug]

2014 Shelby is the best car under 50k no doubt

[@danziger69]

It will hold its value, but is heavy, overpowered considering its tires and doesn't handle all that well. If you said GT350...okay.

[@Carter144]

Na power to weight ratio

[@dilanmorales3706]

Nahh junker shelby can’t compete with newer technology

[@hpickettz34]

C6 zo6 say differently.

[@andrewgarcia605]

I LOVE THE C7 BUT I GOT THE C8. WHILE C7 IS WAY MORE CHEAPER I LOVE MY C8 CORVETTE. I HAVE THE Z51 PACKAGE ON IT 2LT MODEL. I DID PAY A QUITE A BIT FOR IT BUT IN MY OPINION IT WAS WORTHTHE PRICE OF THE CAR! 0-6 IN ABOUT 2.7 SECONDS!

Still gets beat by my Tesla Model 3 performance 😂

C6 Z06 is better for under 50K

[@19hundoc47]

C7 corvette is good. Really good, but is also really boring.
