Default Picked up my Laguna Blue C7 Z51

Picked up my new C7!
I have had many vettes over the years C4,5,6, etc.
The car is stunning to look at.
The blue is beautiful - looks like a hot wheels car
The interior is as nice as can be.
The radio Nav is great (need to read users manual as it has TONS of features)
The car drives great, the rev match is cool -
overall its as good as everyone has said. When you factor in the price there is not better car for the money - its a bargain -

Minor gripes? If I had to really nit pick?:

The pop up cigarette lighter/charger makes no sense. Especially when you have another one in center console. the ispace could be used for Extra Storage space for cell phone etc and then put the this lighter in the footewell somewhere.

It takes two fabric covers to cover the rear hatch so nobody can see in. Its so poorly designed its just bizarre. You need to clip on rings, and use two covers? its so odd and makes no sense. All they needed was one piece of cloth that fit over the rear window and attach to the hatch that pops up over the window. This ay it is now is just odd...the C6 design was so much better - maybe there is a reason for this?

the car comes with two license plate holders - one fits over the center silver bar which is beautifully designed and the other doesn't - its flat and goes over front bumper. Not sure why they include 2? Im sure there is a reason - but its odd.

I think the shifter could be a little smoother (7 speed)

the clutch release point feels very high to me

These are such minor items that im almost embarrassed to mention them
for the price the car is stellar, fun and a head turner - great job GM!!

This looks very nice, congratulations and I hope you enjoy it in good health

I could not tell what interior and color you have chosen for the inside....... Looks like it could be grey?

Great pics! How does it compare to jet stream blue in bright and dim light, if you've seen it before?

Very nicely done. And that is a fine looking driveway and garage as well.

The chrome wheels and red calipers are a perfect combo to accent the Laguna Blue.

Does the stereo have the sub? How does it sound. When I bought my C6 I replaced the Bose system on the 3rd day I had it.

Laguna Blue reminds me way too much of the Monterey Blue on the earlier 370Zs



I much prefer my Blues like this...
