Default Love This Car

This is the first Corvette I've owned but after only driving about 200 miles so far I can honestly say it's the best, most comfortable, most enjoyable car I have ever owned! I can't wait to get through the break in period and experience driving it in warmer weather!

Glad to hear such a positive first impression. Hope it gets better with more time in the “saddle.” Don

After the first 500 miles you can really open it up. This car really comes to life between 3300 and the redline.

I knew a lot of what to expect with this C7. However, I did not expect it, with Z51 and mag ride, to ride as Fantastic as it does on the interstate or back country roads. The ride is great for such a high performance car The power is very nice and fun, especially above 3000 rpm

My only complaint is the Auto recall memory seats in the Manual Transmission cars, it does not work in a logical manor. Works great in the Auto, but I have a manual, which shifts nicely and a very good clutch.
