I apologize for missing this one, there are lots of things about the car I failed to mention in the review.
The stereo does sound great, better than any Corvette before. The bass is heavy, even on a low setting. But I did not play with the settings much, I think most will find a setting that best suits them.

Thanks for the detailed review!
Any thoughts on how the A6 acceleration was? Did you try a 0-60 or 1/4 mile?

The A6 felt crisp. Brought RPMs right up to redline before shifting, and each shift felt confident. I think the TCM adapts and learns, and feel should improve after a bit of driving.

WOW! What a fabulously written review!! Take it from a professional writer/broadcaster - I realize you're obviously doing what you truly love, but if you ever need something to occupy your time - other than your 'day job' - this is it!! And the pictures are gorgeous.

A really great review, thanks! The photos are really nice, especially the two showing the C7 under the Corvette signage, truly awesome, what a selling statement...best I've seen so far.

Thank you for the wonderful review, n8dogg. The car sounds wonderful; and, that's as close as I'll ever get to a C7.
I'm 69 as of this past July. I bought my first ever Corvette a year and a half ago; a beautiful Maggie Red '99 M6 coupe. I had to wait this long so as to be able to afford it. By the time I will be able to afford a '14 C7 I'll be pushing daisies!
So, your wonderful review may be as close as I'll get. Great Job.
Best Regards to all,
Gunny John
PS. However, put your violins away. I flat love my C5 Maggie.

Our Stingray was ordered to be a Z51 Coupe, Torch Red with Black/Adrenaline Red interior. The options included the 3LT package, an automatic transmission, chrome wheels, navigation, and the performance exhaust.
