I think I'm going for a Z51 Stingray, lads. I'm going up to Virginia to visit family this week and really like this example.
Does /o/ have any experience owning a C7? I rented a stock automatic one for a few days and loved it. This one is a manual with the Z51 package so I'd expect it to be better. I have to check if it had an engine replacement since some C7's have engine vibration issues. It will be my DD.

I mean if you like them, they are pretty sexy cars. If you can handle the depreciation then I don't see why you shouldn't get it.
Just don't track that shit, so many overheating problems.

Thanks.
I'm planning to put no more than 60k miles on it in 5 years and hopefully get at least $20k for it when I sell it. I would like to take it to track occasionally - is there anything I can reasonably do to prevent overheating?

Don't push it's limits

upgrade the radiator
I was under the impression that only the Z06 suffered from overheating issues.

The stingray still has problems of its own
Mainly just the 8 speed auto

If you can afford a $55k car you should probably buy something new

That sounds really gay, you're gay...
Yellow with a brown interior...ouch. Yellow only goes well with a black interior.

The over heating issue can be treated but not 100% fixed, unless you are really looking to put money into this baby. Day to day driving and occasional track days are not going to kill this car. Constantly running it at the top of the rpm range and hard breaking are though.
Honestly, you are probably not going to have many, if any, major issues while you own the car. I say go for it.

Funny, I bought my first car from that same dealership.

Is it a problem on the Stingray? They're down 200hp from the Z06.
