Classic look--congratulations! Just did my first road trip with my Vert. Only 500 total miles, but just a blast. Top up it's super quiet, great in the rain and top down is magical! In decent weather my top goes up and down 3 times a day--on the way to work at lunch, and on the way home. Did the whole trip in M and really like manual. When you get past 500 and rev it up a little, there are some fun features. For example, when passing you can hold the down-shift lever and it drops to the lowest safe gear--kind of a rush!

Not that your car needs anything, but search the forum for SmartTop. It's an accessory that makes the top even better--especially being able to raise the top after stopping. Additional great feature too.

You should be thrilled Kevin, it's a great looking ride. And we give you permission to still like C2's and C3's too.

I've typically keep my C2, C3 Corvettes totally original, however I do really like this steering wheel for the C7 and believe it would complement the adrenaline red seats very well. Thoughts anyone as to
whether it would add to looks of my interior?

Would changing out the wheel impact the car's warranty?

Any opinions on the steering wheel in my above post? I only have the adrenaline red seats, so I was thinking the interior may benefit from a little additional red.

Not worth the money, won't add a dime to the value of the car. I'm not a fan of the flat bottom steering wheel, I can live with it but wouldn't select it from the option list.
