Oh my.
hello o/
the c7 put itself on my radar earlier this year and now I'm having impure thoughts. figured I'd drop in here and see if I can research myself out of picking one up. or a c8. dunno.
I sold my e39 M5 this spring and no longer have a naturally aspirated V8 in the stable. this gives me some sad. while the LS3 (and, by proxy, the LT1) is down there at #5 or so on my "favourite production V8" list, it's still a pretty great engine.
I'm writing up a pros/cons list of replacing my current DD with a c7 or c8 I'll eventually post, probably over in the c7 area.
