Default 1000 Miles

Well, I have had my 07 Black Z51 Coupe for two months now and went out for a little ride earlier since it is the first nice day we have had for a week. Rolled over 1000 miles on the ride, and I can say it has been pure bliss so far. Each time I go out in the car, well it seems to get better. The sound, shift (MZ6), power everything seems to be seating real good. It's funny, the roar from the car seems to have gotten more throaty over the past few drives. Anyway, I am just thrilled with the new car and thought I would share.

I agree completely. Great car! Mine turned over 1000 about a week ago. It might be just me, but I think the exhaust "roar" sounds better on the inside than outside. Which is a good thing since the driver should be the one to get the most enjoyment from the sound.
