Default I drove the C7!

Then I woke up this morning...bahhh! I'm dreamin about this car, thats how much its on my mind! I'm so tempted to get a z51 car in jan, and not wait for the z0x....

Thinking about the C7 is all the motivation I have left to open this place. Still not opened! Cooler problems, beer tap problems, code issues! I keep tellin these local authorities...I gotta buy a C7, your jammin me up!

I first thought, I WANT MY CLICK BACK!!!

Then I scrolled down and saw Nicole's picture and thought it was worth it.

Many people have at least virtually driven the C7 on Gran Turismo 5. The car is very nimble and pulls hard through all the gears. I have track times at Laguna Seca that nearly match (or better) than the C6 ZO6. The C7 gets it done in the game with great handling and very good overall power.

Meanwhile, the C6 ZO6 is just pure brute force in the game. You can make up for any mistake you make on the track by it's ability to accelerate so fast, but the car is easier to lose control of compared to the C7.

I have a 7:30 on sport hards, no oil change, manually shifting at nurburgring in the c7. I have 800+ miles on the c7 on gt5. I've seen 4 c7's in person. I'm not short on details Adrian... Why you think I am driving this thing in my sleep...lol.
