Default Ordered today

Totaled my 427 C5 vert two weeks ago.

Ordered this today.

Night Race Blue/Yellow Calipers/Kalahari Interior/3LT trim/Z51/NPP exhaust and broke down and got the paddle shift A6 which will be tuned. I should see it towards the end of March which is fine with me.

After reading all the problems I have my fingers crossed. I'm counting on my neighbor RUNUTZZZZ using up all the back luck for this zip code. I'm hoping a lot of the issues will be resolved by build time.

Don't pay attention to anyone on the strip. It's fantastic!! They want it too, but just don't have the stones. We do!!!

LMAO! Grrrrrr... 22 days total and still not repaired yet... A little over another week and GM gets to own my car! Fingers crossed I get it back tomorrow or Monday.

Have you seen one in person yet?

There were a bunch at Carlisle this year. Too long a line to sit in one but did get to ogle the lines and interior.

Good luck on getting your car back. Let me know.

Well you did have the 1st year of the C5 Vert (although you didn't leave many of the 1998 parts on it). So the 1st year of the C7 shouldn't scare you.

It was totaled. I am salvaging the car. Almost everything from the radiator back is fine. The engine was untouched. Same with the PFADT coilovers and bars. Leather interior, wheels, brakes, Kenwood/JL sound, RPS CC Twin light, RKT Stage 4 tranny and diff. We'll be parting out the car.
