What are features you show when a friend says "Let's see your car"
Yesterday, I met a friend of mine who wanted to see my C7. The first thing I showed him is the 3 different available dash displays and the numerous configurations available,
Next I showed the PDR, then the programmable exhaust-from stealth to tour, then the HUD, and finally the hidden storage area behind the screen That was my mental show off the C7 order of features that I wanted to brag about that the C7 has.
Obviously the power and handling and overall looks are most important but absent a test drive the above these are the "cool" things I started yakking about first.
I am curious about the features you start to yak about first when showing the car to another person absent a test drive.

Popping the hood is typical request to show the LT4... and then a couple of revs from the Corsa exhaust... I always get a, "wow, that's loud," but I don't think so. The rear tire width usually gets a comment, and the most popular question seems to be: "What are these vents for...?"

The first thing you should show them is the title with only your name on it. Then they will not ask you if they can drive it!

I don't specifically show or "yak" about any features. I let them look at whatever they want, and I ask if they want to drive it.

The Brownstone interior draws them in...... Then I ask if they have their license with them as I slide into the passenger seat, telling them to get in THERE DRIVING!
The best part of owning a vette is sharing it with people who will never own one but can go to the grave saying they got to drive one!!!!

The sound of my Borla-Xpipe. Ahhh, nothing can beat the sweet sound of a bark and burble in the morning. I always get a good applause.

Honestly.
The hood... carbon fiber is so light, I make everyone feel it.
After that, I'd say the seats. I actually get to the engine and performance stuff last. I'm a sucker for aesthetics though. I like the car just sitting there sometimes.

Depends on the person. Some people have never seen a car that has a FOB and no key, for example. My IT friends get off on the electronics. But one thing most people have never seen is a HUD. I like showing how the top goes down. When I back it out of the garage to show (It's a very tight fit.) I make sure it rumbles 'a little extra' for their benefit.

NPP, Mode Dial/Dash display, interior layout and compartment behind the Infotainment screen.
The lines of the car, color with Carbon Flash pkg and Stinger stripe speak for themselves.
