As others have said, no car is an investment unless it is already a collector item no longer made. A C7 does not meet that definition. It will go down in value every day you own it.
The car will give you much psychic income as a possession, but spending the money on it has opportunity costs, in the sense that the money you spend on this car will not be available to you for other things, such as a down payment on a home, or money to start your own business. I know nothing of your overall financial situation. The decision is yours.
I owned a Corvette when I was 19 years old. But it was one that was three model years old, and I paid about half the original sticker MSRP. I was going to a very cheap commuter college at the time. I got the money from a variety of jobs, selling off all my other possessions, and getting a small accident settlement. I loved owning the car, but as a result, I was always "broke", and my social activities were largely about the car. Don't get me wrong. The girls loved a ride in a fairly new Corvette convertible, but I could barely afford to buy them a sandwich.
Maybe a sound, low mileage used Corvette would be a good middle ground?
