I think 2015 should be the year the lift off roof panel starts to sail...some minor change to the 2014 causes the problem. Stay tuned. 2015 the engine builders decide to change the material in the pistons to make them lighter. Oops piston slap...stay tuned...just quoting history

Obama said all 2015 C7's will be 6 cylinders and increase in price by 25%.

Glad mine is on a transporter, soon to be traveling on route 66.

Life can change in a heartbeat. I can't take that chance. I'll test the heck out of it. I drive mine everyday even in winter, take it to the track, trips. Yea I'll let you know how that goes...........

Got my eye on a 16 anyway.

I'm happy to be a "beta tester". This isn't 1983, 1996 or even 2004.
