2015 C7 of the Year Finalist
The guys from New Hampshire (red GS and gray C7), in a joking mood, wanted to race the quarter quarter mile. I said lets race to the NY state line, about 200 miles, needless to say we had a great morning picking up our vettes.

I have the magnetic shocks and drove it in touring mode 25% of trip and in sport mode most. I like the sport mode best, car was smooth, not harsh and drove like it was on rails. In touring it felt like my 08 vette, nice ride but after being in sport it felt a bit loose.
I was surprised how quiet the cabin is at speed and no drone from npp's.
I played with all the settings and it does take time to find all thats available.
I did notice that the mirror is absolutely rock solid, no vibrations even at high speeds 80 plus.
The Nav is the best i've seen, I set it wide to see 100 miles ahead and when it came time to exit the screen zoomed in on its own and then returned to my setting.
Its a great touring car, thats what my use will be since I'm to old to track it. I will bring it to my other home in NYC on sunday and see how it handles that environment LOL

[/QUOTE]Great comparison pics of the GS and Stingray rear ends. IMO, outside of the wide body GS tires/look, I will not miss my GS rear, the Stingray to me, looks like a "futuristic" design!

Scraping the splitter.
Very nice and my color!
And once again, the ride height on this car looks perfectly fine to me.

George in your pics the torch red looks very orangey. I know that torch red has that... are your pics accurate of the color or in person is it less orangey then your pics?
Thanks! Drive in good health
