It had the Z51 option, auto. and the lux. interior. Sticker was just over $69000

Great shot Daniel.
I sure like everything about the C7, I have seen quite a few of them up close and Pictures don't do it justice.

The Z51 C7 looks like it will eat our young! I can only imagine what the C7 Z07 is going to look like.
Nice shot. I want one, but I'm not going to trade my C5 vert for it.

Side by side I was surprised the C7 is taller, wider , longer, and weighs over 300lbs more. I still like it, the interior makes mine look like a buckboard wagon seat,

I'm hoping the new seats end up being swappable into our cars without too much trouble. Hope they're not too wide....
That C7 is mean though btw, a lot busier so not for everyone. Looks best in black with the vents/louvers in body color imo...
