Haha where are my manners...

I'm on my phone so I will be brief...

I have the 1lt Z51 MRC NPP auto

First I cannot comment enough on the interior everything is just simply amazing! Great leather I love the stiching! Great sound quality! I love the infotainment system even though I'm still learning how to install more applications... I love the led lighting in the interior it give this car a more European presence when entering the vehicle

I love the led back up lights! Helps very well with visibility... I don't care to much for the back up camera as I feel it displays the view in low pixels in my opinion... My zl1 had HD integrated into the rear view mirror...

The tap shift is very responsive! This car is amazingly fast! My favorite thing about this car in terms of performance has got to be the handling... I unfortunately have only gotten to drive it in the rain so far but I must say even in those conditions this car grips the road I cannot say that enough! So much better handling than my zl1 that's for sure... This car hugs the road like an obsessive ex girlfriend... This car just can't let go!!

Great car great price I don't think it can be beat! Exterior is amazing I love then wavy design on the hood... I call it "interesting" because I don't believe I have seen anything like it... The stance is
Just simply epic! I don't really dislike anything about the car expect the missing door sills which hopefully come in next week!

For those who are interested in buying one or those waiting for theirs to arrive this car is not just perfomance but comfort and luxury... This car feels expensive... Best of both worlds is how I put it... Great on gas great cruiser and commuter car... I think anyone who has driven one can't help but to fall in love!

Guys, really, I have had people think this was a Ferrari when they first see it pull up... This car looks like it cost 250k and chevy could easily sell it for that much if they wanted too! I'm just happy they gave it a more than fair price and still exceed your expectations!

Thanks for the quick review. I'll be interested to hear more on the auto and your background as a driver. (E.g. Always driven auto, tired of stick, first auto....or whatever you are experienced with)

Thanks again and I don't have say, but ENJOY!
