Congrats! Welcome to the "other side" :-). Beautiful car you have there, I saw one like it at Carlisle earlier this year. There is a lot to know about these cars, you are right. Stay on this forum to read what interests you, and ask whatever questions you have. Most everyone is very helpful, and there is a lot of info to be gleaned here. Enjoy your ride!

My wife loves it,she will end up driving it more than me lol.
I am trying to figure out all features it has, on my dodge cars I am used to the srt function and apps they have, it seems this car has alot more.
My wife first thought tires was wore out I told her that these tires are Street legal race tires

Beautiful GS, congrats!
Yes, there's a lot to them.
I was totally a C2/C3 guy and knew nothing about C7s until 6 months ago.
I learn something new about my GS practically everyday, you will too if you
spend much time on here.

I would like to learn more, it has zo7 pkg and fully loaded with everything​​​​​​.
I do like the automatic

When it gets broke in I am going to take it to dragstrip, I was at strip a few weeks ago and this man had a GS 17 model, and he ran a 11.5 at 120 MPH. People was looking and asked him on any mods and it was bone stock
