OP: I love the looks of your car. After owning a black on black C6 the darker colors are not worth the upkeep for me but it does look stunning. I love the interior color with that as well BTW. Congratulations.

After a few minutes behind the wheel and it drives and handles much better than a GS? Amazing..please elaborate. Did you get much higher numbers on the G-meter already?

Do you expect one new C7 owner to say anything different? Anyone who buys a C7 has to justify the purchase. I understand the C7 is a great car but you will not get one unbiased view on this forum.

The Z51 silver wheels are the best looking for the C7.

All of the rims are nice but the black rims are really growing one me. I'd go black, chrome, silver. This is just my OPINION.

That's really impressive mpg for a 6 speed auto. Also, don't the autos get a lower gear ratio too?

The 7 speed manual is going to get Hybrid type mpg at 75mph.

Ed,

It was nice meeting you this evening at the BK car cruise in Manassas. Thanks for showing me your car, and for all of the information that you gave me. Your car is beautiful and was a star of the show, people were still talking about it after you left. Enjoy your new ride!

Bob
