Well it's not a Jaguar, but it is parked next to my 2009 Jaguar XKR Convert in my garage. Had to roll out the 2014 Porsche Cayman 981 to the other garage.

So far 27 miles on the clock.

Delivered yesterday.

 

Awesome! We dont get them here, though I've seen a couple that have been imported and then converted to RHD. They would fetch over $150K. But with the departure of our local car manufacturing I think that GM will be bringing in the Corvette as a halo car which will be a big thing for us. Something to do with the Corvette being easier to manufacture as a RHD than the Camaro. Anyway, when it happens I'd be keen to get one exactly like that.

 

I drove more than 11 years C5 (1) and C6 (4 of them) and I love my 2 old Corvettes

The design of the front and side from the new C7 (as you can see at the pics) is traditional Corvette ---- but from behind???? Ugly.

This was my reason to change to the XKR.

Richard,
I hope you enjoy it as much as your XKR and Cayman and look forward to reading your 3-way comparison review. I suspect that the C7 will be the overall best value winner, but the XKR will take the prize for best-looking and you're "still crazy (about her) after all these years".

We need a STAT impression mate!!

 

Good luck and have fun with it.

 

Nice car! A great addition to your stable.

 

nice addition - enjoy and good luck

 

Very nice addition, congratulations and enjoy it in good health.

 

Nice! Lots of value in that car...


Rich

 

Sharp car! Not as rare are your XKR, but very nice! Drive it in good health.

 

I my opinion the new 2015 Corevette has great value for what you get.

MSRP on this one was $63,010, and paid $56,038.83. For this price it is hard to believe.

As for comparisons to the Jaguar XKR, Porsche Cayman 981 and the Corvette, they are all different. One thing I can say, GM built a great American 2 seater sports car. It is awesome.

New vanity license plate will be: 2FAST4U

 

FYI

 

This Corvette C7 will NEVER see a track, and will never see a dragstrip.

After racing open wheel open cockpit F1000 Formula cars for 10 years, my need for speed is now over.

With 475 HP in this non-supercharged Corvette, I don't need any more.

Keep in mind, "The older you get, the slower you go".

 

Rich I hear ya and yeah to a great degree I've slowed down some and leave the track stuff to the kids (under 60). It seems as I get older I want more HP , not that there is something wrong with that , lol. So have fun and keep it on all four.

 

Richard,

That tag is a TKTMGNT, especially on a red 'Vette. Enjoy the ride!

Stuart

 

Great looking ride Rich. Enjoy that monster......

 

Not a great fan of Vet's buts a sweet looking ride, might be the best looking Vet I've seen.

 

Great color for a Vette. I just left the Detroit Auto Show. They had the new Z06 convertible, gorgeous. Great article on the Z06.
Z06 Corvette an awesome blend of power,poise
But the show stopper is the Ford GT.
