Default It's here

Ordered Sept. 9th, I picked it up from dealer on Oct.24th. It's been raining and cold here so I didn't get it out much. Today we put over 100 miles on it. I've had C2, C4, C5, C6 Grand Sport and now this C7 Grand Sport. This is an awesome beast, just freaking love it....

Thanks guys, I'm beyond happy with this car. It was hard to trade in my C6 Grand Sport but this C7 really is many levels above the C6. Don't get me wrong the C6 is a great driving machine and I never had a single problem with it.

Almost went with the black wheels but I'm glad I went with the Chrome.

The chrome wheels go great with the black paint.
