Default Early Problems with C7

what has been the general experience of those you have taken delivery on their new stingray. From what I read, there seems to be a fair amount of "electronic gremlins.

Scouring the issues thread (sticky) will give you a general idea. Mine has been great. Had a temporary glitch yesterday where my center console display said "service backup camera" or something, but it was gone after a restart of the car.

The only problem I have is going to the local beer & wine store and getting out of there in less than 30 minutes. It seems there are no C7's on the road and they ask if they can take pictures and what is this vent for ? The weather in Atlanta allows you to drive all year long. Matter of fact I'm going to a cruise this afternoon in Downtown Canton Ga.

Thanks, Mike, and good to know. Enjoy the drive. NJ is now getting ugly weather. Too bad. Happy holidays
