OK, and? $50K isn't NEW C7 territory. $50K is also a ridicuously optioned 6thgen with a pointless 6 pot caliper upgrade a silly $2K black wheel option.
If you stick with a 2SS, NPP exhaust, NAV and the Magnetic Ride setup you're closer to $46-47K, WAY below a base C7 price tag no matter how you slice it.
You can't compare to the two, IMO I'd never DD a C7, or any Corvette for that matter(yes, I did on my '98 but I was young and didn't care), a Camaro you could...so that practicality issue now comes to the forefront.
I'm not saying you should fall in love with the 6thgen, I'm still on the fence about the looks but you CANNOT argue the performance and quality of it....it's A LOT better and nicer than the 5th's(and I absolutely love my 5th, especially the mods, the way it sits etc) but facts are fact. A few magazines(take it for what it's worth) have even said forget the Camaro going after the Mustang, it should go Euro hunting...to me that says a lot.
Magazine though don't mean ****, I've driven these cars, performance and quality wise they're the real deal...but everyone in internet land can assume, form opinions, and judge without even seeing one in person let alone driving one.
This is just my opinion and experiences with the car and industry, we all have opinions, take it for what it's worth.
