Default New C7

A new '16 Vert Z-51 3LT joined my C-3 and C-5 this week. Need to sell something, but don't want too. Lots to learn!

After you learn all about the C7 and drive it a bit more you will probably want to sell both of those rust buckets.
Beautiful vert, your going to love it.

I had a 1995 C4 convertible, with less than 10,000 miles, when I purchased my C7 convertible (traded a C6 coupe). Shortly after the C7 arrived I drove the C4, sold it shortly after. You will love the totally power top!!!!

Congrats! That car is absolutely beautiful. Lots of good info here and on Youtube regarding operation of all the systems in the C7. I've had mine for a month and I'm still learning new things.
