Joined the C7 crowd today !!!!!

I own a c6 z06 and couldn’t bear to part with it. So today I purchased a C7 as a daily driver. Even came with an extra set of wheels and Michelin alpin snow tires.
Night Race Blue with Kalahari interior.

Very nice. That's a very hard to find color combination that's really nice. Like those wheels.

Great color combo. NRB was too close to black for me but I'm running the same wheels - American Racing 924 Crossfires

The C7, is the best C-Series ever made. Certainly light years ahead of the C4. You made the right choice.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!! I have to admit the overall ride quality and creature comforts are better than I had imagined. And I was pleasantly surprised at the gas mileage. On my 100 mile trip, I averaged 32.4 mpg. That’s insane for a vehicle like this. I’m very happy with my decision. Of course, check back with me in December.
