So I traded my c6 z51 6 speed convertible for a c7 z51 7 speed coupe. The deal was too good to pass up. I must say they got it right with this car. Everything feels and looks better. The interior finally feels like a true sports car. The throttle response and handling is amazing. I'm quite happy with the decision. Already put my diablo tune in, got the windows and reflectors tinted, and new mats on the way.

Awesome combo! Don't forget to get some black badges! Going from my C6 to C7 was a night and day difference!

Thank you everyone. I got it certified from Fred beans in doylestown. I'm looking to possibly an exhaust, intake, and some other minor stuff for now.
