Default New '15 DSOM Coupe

I had a '14 C7 in black with the 7M and like a fool, traded it off after a year for something else. Well, after missing the C7 for about 8 months, I couldn't take it any more and pulled the trigger on this jaw-dropping '15 Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic Coupe with the 7M.

(EDIT - corrected the year of my first C7. It was a '14, not a '15)

It's good to be back in a C7.

What did you trade your first one off for?

2015 ZL1 Camaro which is an awesome car in itself. And, I picked it up when GM had the 20% off MSRP sale so I bought it right.

But I missed the C7 almost immediately even though with my knee replacement surgery I couldn't drive anything for a while.

Now, all is as it should be and I could not be happier.

Welcome back indeed.

It think it's funny that you have owned 3 cars in 9 months while it took me 15+ years to own 3 cars.

I noted with interest your "Runs11s" nickname. Ironically, I've had that plate (RUNS 11S)on my '13 red 427 convertible for two years now. My son had it on his black 427 for a year, but moved to Missouri, and we transferred it to my car. And yes, my car has been in the 11s; its best being 11.84 @123.14, and an 11.91 and an 11.99. I will always listen to offers!

I owned two 2005 DSOM convertibles, black top, black interior, 6-speeds. I flipped out when the new DSOM came out and got a 2015 Z51 coupe, black interior, paddle shifter. The only reason I switched to an automatic is because I have a very bad left ankle, and shifting will soon become a thing of the past for me! Absolutely love the car!! So glad they came back with this fantastic color...though it's a tad different from the original.
