Hi there Vetters
Just bought a C7 Stingray. My first ever Vette and as a matter of fact first ever GM product. Traded in my old Mercedes SLK 280 as it was 11 years old and I couldn't be happier. I loved my SLK very much but it was falling short on the tech front and upgrading a Mercedes is frankly a pain in the rear. I just wanted to introduce myself and learn a few things about the C7. So far I have 400 plus miles on board and I have relished every mile.Thanks for allowing me to be in the forum and look forward to hearing from everyone.
