The thing I discovered about my C7 that I wasn't expecting is that I find myself on this forum a couple times a day! Some of the content is informative, some supportive, some just plain stupid and some of the commentary is pretty mean-spirited. At times I feel like a background member of some reality show.

Well, I technically can't answer this since I don't have MY Grand Sport yet. However, my friend Zac came over to my house today in his new '16 Z06 (non Z07) with stage 1 aero and I learned he could just barely get up my driveway due to how steep it is.... My GS has Z07 and stage 2 aero and now I'm terrified that it's not going to be able to go up my driveway without scraping and potentially bottoming out... A first world problem, I know. But seriously, f*ck my life....

Definitely not going to be lowering now. Guess I'll just have to tear my driveway out and put a new one in with a less steep grade. Lol....

What surprised me the most is how "compelling" this car is. I just can't stay out of it.

How to open the doors from the rear trunk by pulling on the cable in the rear? I previously climbed through the trunk and into the passenger seat, not easuy if you are not a small thin 12 year old.

Don't feel too bad, many folks have reported doing the contortions to do that.

On that hatch driver door release handle, I had a post recently where I stated I accidentally pushed it thought slot, so be careful. I had to fish it out to expose it again. Not easy. If you are interested and how I did it go to this post.

I have discovered that since I changed from the non npp exhaust to Corsas that my car can actually drop into v4 mode as low as 3rd gear sometimes. Probably because of less back pressure in the exhaust system.

I also have a Rangeman and I have discovered it will drain the battery below starting level in as little as 48 hours or less. Hence I use the battery tender more or unplug the Rangeman.
