Default New car

Well i went and jumped to the dark side as they say LOL.
Picked up my new 2017 Z51 2LT couple yesterday.
Man what a difference in ride and comfort from my 2007 Z51 3 LT coupe.
Like this 1 alot better than the old 1 which surprised me a bit.
Even the wife said its more comfortable and the ride is night and day.
So ill be calling this forum home now instead of the c6 forum.
Car is Black Rose with the kalahari interior

Pics r all screwed up on this new computer and cant find a program on it to flip etc the files

Default Agreed.....

when I went from the C5 to the C6, the driving experience was very close but the change (and last Vette purchase, retiring soon) from C6 to C7 was quite large, noticeable and evident....

Congrats! Very nice color combo, and will be somewhat rare since they didn't make that color very long. Enjoy!
