C7 vs. C6 comparison
Can some forum members who have taken delivery already of the C7, and who have owned a C6 (any model at this point will do), write-up a comparison when they find the time? Owners like myself would find this helpful as we ponder jumping on the bandwagon and trading in our C6s. My local dealers have plenty unsold units arriving daily.
thanx!

To the OP. The C7 is an almost entirely new car. The C6 was an evolution of the C5, and better of course. But the C7 is a giant leap forward in terms of technology and design. The interior alone is worth the price.

I'm sure the OP gets that. I have the same question so I'll preface this by putting the question this way - Coming from a base C6 MY13' no Z51, to a C7 with a Z51, how is the handling, ride quality, road noise and overall feel? Forget the technology part, that's a no brainier.

Yes, I know the limits increase. I ordered the Z51 for the C7 but it wasn't available for MY 13 unless you bought the GS or above, which I didn't like the "gills" on the fenders. IMO, it looked stupid. I liked the 427 and ZR1 look much better but didn't want to go there because I was trading my car within a few months. My C7 is already at the dealership on the east coast, just waiting for the paperwork and transport to take it to CA.

+1...hogwash... if there are unsold units, there would be LOTS of people picking them up rather than waiting. Having said that, in the northern parts of the country, I suspect sales will slow as winter approaches and people don't want the car until Spring.

Yes. I've been driving a luxury sedan until now, so it may just be a question of getting acclimated. Just asking to see how it compares. Whatever the answer, I'm not giving it back!
