Thought you guys would like to see a new Z51 Vert - Long Beach Red. I'll be sharing time between both C5 and C7 sites. I'd like to thank the folks on this site for all of the great info and experiences shared over the last few years!

Thanks Jack - and to think 3 years ago I was looking for a Mustang...

Congrats on the Moderator position - a better man could not have been selected.

Thanks, I have to agree with you. Early on I can tell that they are two different cars. On the way home from the dealer I killed the C7 three times trying to figure out the feeling in the clutch (embarrassing). I just had the COW tune on my C5 and it feels like it has a lot more thrust at the start. Still trying to figure out the C7.
