How about a write up on your new non Z51 C7....I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about your experience thus far. Seems like there are plenty of threads on Z51's......I'd like to hear the other side of the story. Thanks

I have not seen a post by Talon90 in a long time. If you click on his name,and get his statistics, it says his last post was 11/11/13. I inquired a while back about his absence, and got no response.

I am in contact with Ken - my new Stingray showed up at his dealership Monday evening, and I should have pics from him tomorrow.

Can't speak for GM'er, but Paul is fine.

He's been busy with his family, work and the holidays, real life stuff
