Did the same thing back in September. Sold my 2009 Coupe and ordered a 2017 WGG Z51 Coupe. Took exactly 4 weeks to build and deliver...I'm loving it

. You will too

Cool beans ........ You're going to love it. Came so close to buying another Z06 in that color as my dd. Back Dr. said "Uh-uh !"

So, I sucked it up and bought the CTS-V.

Life is good.

Good choice. Watkins Glen Gray was my second choice. Almost got the gray with light blue hashes on my GS like the car they rolled out at the GS's intro.

I like the exhaust note. I keep it on on loud all the time. It's still quieter than my built C5 was.

The C6 is a "good" car the C7 is a "great" car. you're getting Porsche/Ferrari performance and styling for a fraction of the price. Plus, resale values are strong. No brainer IMHO

Excellent choice!! Although I usually keep it open all the time, sometimes it is fun to have it in "stealth" mode. Especially for those longer highway trips!

ENJOY!!

Should be a great looking car, hope they don't cancel Watkins Grey before you get it. Never seen a car company so obsessed with changing out their greys year after year.

A must have IMO. The sound of the NPP compared to non NPP is night and day. Also the smaller pipes of the non NPP look out of place to me. I leave mine on loud all the time, absolutely love the sound. It's an option well worth the cost, and I would not buy a C7 with out it. Just my 2 cents.
