You ate definitely going to have a lot of fun in your C7! I had a 2006 and could not believe how much nicer the C7 was.

I did the same thing! I had an'05 C6 that I really loved, but I was blown away by my new (to me) '17 GS. Its a great car, and you'll love it.

Congratulation I too sold my 2005 some years ago and that itch for the vette never left. My son-in-law bought a 2019 GS a couple of weeks ago. I drove it last week and now I am just a few days away from picking up my 2016 Stingray. Its a great car, and you'll love it.

Congrats on a great looking C7. I think you will find it is a noticeable improvement over the C6.
