Your C7 has around the same mileage as mine... get out there and enjoy it

Thanks Everyone. Doing my 1st oil change as we speak. I have a car lift which makes it easy to do. The Cobra was a fun car but uncomfortable to the point it was hard to push the clutch and not step on the brake pedal or even step on brake pedal and push the accelerator at the same time. It wasnt creature comfort to drive. But it was fast and a good looking car. I got alot of compliments on it. It took me a year to restore it from the previous owner who destroyed it.

Good luck with the new toy, it's a shame people destroy beautiful things.
