My very late mid life crisis!

I haven’t bought a new Corvette since my ZR1 34 years ago. My favorite Corvette body style is still the mid-years. Be warned though - if you take one of the new ones for a test drive - you just might decide that you’ve gotta have it! It happened to me!

Wow, that is one heck of a car. If I had any brains, I'd get one of those.

Ralph Spears 03-04-2024 01:16 PM

Looks like a foreign car

dustinm 03-04-2024 01:29 PM

I like the red over tan!!! Id drive the snot out of one !!!

Z282NV 03-04-2024 01:47 PM

Congrats, beautiful Vette. C8's are my favorite right after the C2's.

Steve Shauger 03-04-2024 02:04 PM

Congrats Bruce it checks all the boxes. Drive it like you stole it!!!

markinnaples 03-04-2024 04:17 PM

I like the new C8's, and I get the disdain for Chevy going mid-engine, but they're amazing cars. Congrats on getting that beauty!

I think the red with tan interior look good together. Nice ride 👍

bergy 03-04-2024 08:12 PM

Thanks guys. We’re getting some nice weather, so I’m able to put some miles on it. The break in period for the Z06 is 500 miles - can’t wait!

mssl72 03-04-2024 08:44 PM

Wow! That's a beauty! Congrats and have fun!

dykstra 03-04-2024 09:09 PM

Awesome Corvette. I know all about a late mid life crisis. I picked up a ZL1 Camaro a few weeks ago because on my late mid life crisis.

markinnaples 03-06-2024 06:50 PM

That ZL-1 is beautiful, congrats.

Nice 'Vette (and ZL1.) I opted for a different route with my midlifer. Obviously not a corner carver (not bad though) but it sure pulls hard in a straight line. Lots of room and very comfortable a bonus.

My 2/3-life crisis car/retirement gift. Still going strong at 1,898 miles as of last week.

My car was ordered with the optional wheels (dealer installed), but I also received the original standard factory wheels with the car. So, I had the extra set of standard wheels powder coated black. I kinda like it better with the black wheels versus the look with the optional wheels that I posted initially in this thread.

markinnaples 05-02-2024 02:42 PM

I have to say that it's a beautiful Corvette no matter what wheels you have, but I kinda like the first set (though my opinion doesn't matter). I get that a lot of people like black wheels, they're just not for me.

How do you like it overall? A couple friends of mine have C8's and they love them.

Lynn 05-02-2024 03:53 PM

Bruce: In hiindsight, anything you would have ordered differently on this?

bergy 05-02-2024 10:47 PM

Lynn - maybe Z07 for future resale value, but I’m really happy with the car as configured.

Bill - that’s just an old Ford.

olredalert 05-03-2024 02:11 PM

----An interesting "old Ford" none the less!....Bill S

GearheadSS 05-03-2024 02:12 PM

Great car! I like the bronze wheels better.

I would not get a Z07 unless I was going to track it. It's quite a bitter stiffer than a standard Z06.

Any issues with the reflection of the natural dash on the windshield yet?

Lynn 01-25-2025 04:19 PM

How about a long term update; well medium term maybe?

Any issues? Any buyer's remorse?

bergy 01-31-2025 10:33 AM

Not a lot of miles on it yet Lynn. I love it so far. Can't wait for the good weather to get more seat time. No buyer's remorse. My classic cars are great, but performance and comfort of this car can't be beat.

I’m in FL right now, but do have this pic on my phone of a new toy that I picked up.

bergy 02-01-2025 10:15 AM

Your ‘57 is sooooo iconic old school!!!! Love it :-)

Nice addition to the fleet!!

Lynn 02-01-2025 02:33 PM

Bruce.
I would really be interested in your thoughts and opinions of the Z06 and the GT after driving them back to back.
