New C7 Owner. I love this car!
Nothing special, but I do love this car! 1LT Shark Gray Stingray with A8 and performance exhaust with black wheels, badges and hood stripe. Brought it home from the dealer yesterday. Put 70 miles on it and gave it a bath and thorough detailing today to satisfy my OCD with Vettes.
So far so good. Love everything about the car: Ride, wicked sound, flat handling, crazy acceleration and very comfortable great looking cockpit. Small annoying stuff: Doors are a little hard to shut, (require a bit more of a shove and yes, I checked the indexing is working) and 1 or 2 very minor paint issues. All in all I'm very impressed with what I got for my money! Sad to see my beloved '08 Z51 go, but this is a significantly improved beast.

OP,
Congratulations! I too moved from '08 Z51 1LT to '14 Z51 1LT. Yes, you will have a lot of fun.
Good news is the doors will ease up closing by time. Give 'em a month or two.
