Default Now a C7 guy...
3rd Forum move, 1st from C2 to C6, now to C7. Just brought home a 2016 Z51 Convertible, 3lt, Black, Black Suede Edition, 7 Speed. LOVE IT!!! Nice to get back into the shift it yourself group. Everything everyone has said about how much better the C7's are from the C6's is true...and more. Drove it home from Las Vegas yesterday to a flipping snow storm here, with Summer only tires of course, stuck it in Weather and held my breath. No slips, no spins, no sweat. Incredible.

............I love my C7 but two items I do miss from my C6 GS 3LT:

a. Dual Mode Exhaust
b. Heated seats

But that's about it, don't miss the HUD and I don't miss THE SCRAPING....
