I know they are but when you look at them side by side like that they don't look that much different...good luck with the C7!

Have fun & enjoy !
My brother just moved back here to Wis. after living in Mesa off and on . He said there are too many crazy people & druggies around Mesa. He said it's worse now than when he first moved there in 2008.

So why did you move on? Bored? Problems with the C6’s? The power is not much different with only 30 more HP. Is it the newer technology?

After an ECU, battery and alternator replacement I decided that getting a car that has a warranty was in my best interest. So I went hunting and found a pretty good deal locally. In my estimation, at least as good as a couple of the east coast dealers are giving on comparably equipped GS convertibles.

Here's a photo of the two cars together. Goodbye folks, see you in the c7 section.
