Nice GS. I went from a 13 GS to a 14 c7 before they released the c7 GS. I can tell you there really wasn't much that impressed me enough to keep it. I traded it back for another 13 GS. 2 things I liked on it were the rev matching and the HUD. The newer z51's get PTM which is cool. Bigger car then the c6 though.

I found it interesting that the C6 is the smallest Corvette from C5 through C8 in terms of length, width, and weight - for the base models anyway. 4.9” less length and 1” less width than a C5. I was really surprised the C6 is 1.3” shorter than the C7 because to me the C7 looks shorter - viewed from the side. I guess it’s the seemingly abrupt rear of the C7’s design. The C6 just flows better.

Yep, and I was reminded of that fact when I took the car cover we had with our 2006 Z51 Coupe and put it on our 2001 Coupe. It's a REALLY tight fit.
