I owned a c6 Z and it put a smile on my face everytime I drove it.
Don’t worry about the LS7. I had zero issues with mine. Had the oil checked every year to ensure no titanium shavings were found.
This is the first warning sign you have a problem.
The GS is also a great choice.
If you are buying...
Suggest you hang onto the car till May then sell it. You will get more money for it then. My friend was offered 70k for a mint 2019 GS 2LT with stick by a dealer as a trade in. Based on this he could probably get 75-80K privately.
Since your car is a Stingray and not a stick I would think you...
The Canadian and US markets are flooded with c8 corvettes ( new and used).
Prices for used vettes will continue to decrease.
The exception is the ZR1.
I recently had a chance to purchase a new Z06 with an 18k discount off MSRP.
The colour and options were not what I wanted so I passed.
You lose almost all your storage space with a coupe and the top stored in the back. That’s why I bought a HTC and love it. IMO the aesthetics were much nicer too in the HTC. I love all vettes enjoy your ride.
Mine was fixed last year under warranty. I asked the dealer that fixed it if they had other HTC’s with the same issue….mine was the first they repaired.
HTC is 3 years old no issues.
Had a 78 / 03 and 06 and never scraped the front end .
Know many C8 owners with the lift, modules needed replacing / software upgrades. Hopefully GM has figured out all the glitches.
Good luck
The lift option was not a priority for me, buying a 2LT with mag ride , performance exhaust, HTC were my must have’s. I can only imagine what the repair costs would be when it breaks. I had a Macan with lift and it’s a very expensive repair when it broke.
