Default Went from......

Just traded my 2011 GS for a 13 427. What a amazing ride! I loved my GS, but this 427 is unbelievable. The ride, the radio, the better 6sp, the seats, the 505 ponies out front, what more can I say. What a great send off for the C6. The C7 will have to blow my mind to make another change. This 427 is so much more car than I could have imagined! Cant wait for the weather to break. I drove it home in 19 degree weather. Thanks to GM for great rebates also.
From this..

To this Black Beauty

Very nice upgrade!! Love the black and the rims too!. I have an 11 Zo7 and am contemplating those rims w/ the machined edge. Very nice, be careful w/ that 427! The torque curve is different and it pulls like a freight train!!

Congrats. Hot looking car.

I'm not a vert guy, but the 427 vert is a cool vette.
