As far as reviews go you really set the bar high. That was so well put together it was a real joy to read and enjoy some great pictures. What really hit me is that's the same car I ordered and will come off the line tomorrow 9/30. Again you made my Sunday afternoon .

Thank you for the wonderful review, n8dogg. The car sounds wonderful; and, that's as close as I'll ever get to a C7.
I'm 69 as of this past July. I bought my first ever Corvette a year and a half ago; a beautiful Maggie Red '99 M6 coupe. I had to wait this long so as to be able to afford it. By the time I will be able to afford a '14 C7 I'll be pushing daisies!
So, your wonderful review may be as close as I'll get. Great Job.
Best Regards to all,
Gunny John
PS. However, put your violins away. I flat love my C5 Maggie.

As a military vet, I thank you for your service. I was Navy (1971-76 Vietnam), and if I may....Semper Fi.....

Okay,
I don't see that any one else has asked, so I will. I thought it had been said earlier that AFM (V4 mode) would only work in Eco mode, so putting it in any other mode would basically eliminate AFM. You indicated you saw it go in V4 mode in all modes except for Track, is that correct?

stick shift - it only works in eco
auto - it works in all modes unless you shift to manual and use the paddles...

Has someone with an auto already figured out "the fix" for those who might be so inclined? That having been asked, it seems to me that it would be worth seeing if it is an issue for oneself before doing anything.

If you want to avoid AFM... only use your paddles in manual mode on the auto. My C63 had paddles and the car NEVER was driven in normal auto (too boring) and I always used the paddles. That's what I'd do with the Cy too to avoid AFM if I were so inclined.

That red looks great, classic Corvette. I'd opt for the kalahari interior if it was mine, but red looks good as well.
Can you have the digital speed in any mode or only track?
