Default Got me a C7 and WOW!


When I first joined here in 2007 i had a 2002 vert. Things happened and I bought a 2005 vert in 2011. I was not impressed with it. Too much stuff just didn't sit well me like having to put the car in reverse when I turned off the car. I got rid of it and traded in for a Cadillac.
I have fallen in love with the stingray body style and the interior. So I bought a 2015 C7 stingray 3LT coupe NOT a Z51. The dealer told me it was a Z51 and I am kinda pissed cause they lied and of my ignorance but I really love this car. She is black on black and the ride is awesome. I bought her with 9700 miles on the ODO and she still smells new. The only issue I have is with the rear spoiler. I am going to change it with the wicker bill. I think it will look much better with it. I will post some pics shortly. Thanks and its good to be back. Better than ever.

Craig

3LT I like your style. Sorry but is that a Z51 with those base wheels and non slotted rotors and no full rear spoiler but still a awesome looking C7 stingray.

You done good. Is that a carbon fiber stinger. Shadow cast looks different than on the black paint.

If you paid for a Z51, you need to get your money back. That is not a Z51!!

Still a nice looking car. Black demands more work to keep clean but looks awesome when it is.

You will discover the top does not retract like the 2002 and 2005 convertibles. You need a chain saw to remove the top. Getting the top up again requires a trip to the body shop.
