Default Awesome C7 !!!!!!!

Me again. First Vette and its a C7 with all the goodies.: yesnod:

Gots 1000 clicks in two weeks and the car is incredible. Hope I am lucky and have no major issues.

Have gotten easily 28-29 mpg and have over all averaged 19.8. This has been while using all the suspension forms and auto and manual shifting.

I have built over 300 motors of all types, twin cams, fuel injected, blown, sbc's, LS series, lots of 427-428 bbf with lots and lots of power on the dyno. Never owned a street high performance car though. Always road raced.

Out of the box this sucker is simply incredible. Point that rascal and hang on and be ready to pay attention.

Gots some buddies with Camero's, Vette's, Porsche's and we plan to rent a local skid pad where we can do it in the dry then wet it down and have at it. Boy will that be fun.

Now I know what I have missed. Not to late to be a kid again though.
