Initial observations
My z51 2LT mag ride GT1 Seats and front lift was delivered today.
1. Extremely Glad I chose the GT1 seats. I'm 153lb and I find the bolsters very strong. Under no circumstances would I want more bolster than the GT1.
2. The transmission is surreal.
3. Car is fast. Period.
4. Ride in tour and sport is world class.
5. Auto drop windows are goofy.
6. I needed front lift, glad I got it.
7. Those saying the exhaust isn't loud are delusional. Everyone in the service dept at the dealer jumped when we blipped it. Wonderful crack accompanied it at about 3k.

Congrats on the car! I'm sure everyone would love to see some pictures.
I was wondering about the exhaust myself. I have no doubt that it is nice and loud from the outside but was curious how loud it is in the interior of the car. I think it is supposed to be quieter than the C7 just because the engine/exhaust sound is behind you now. I think that may be what some people were talking about.

My cousin took delivery of his black on black z51 3LT with GT3 seats yesterday (VIN 403), and those seats are quite narrow. Glad I went with the "2" seats for my white on tan 3LT build...currently at 3000.
