Congratulations on your new Vette. It is a very nice looking Vette in my opinion.

It is nice to hear you like it.

Glad you like the new C7.

I simply can't understand the several complaints about the cabin heating/cooling system. It will do everything needed if you operate it properly.

Engine warmed up and you want to use outside air? Simply use the A/C briefly, cools the vents and there you are.

Forget Auto mode, it thinks it's smart and frequently changes temps, usually not really hot in the winter or cool in the summer. Use A/C in manual and recirc mode, problems solved.

I have zero complaints about the climate control. Don

Very nice car and great first impressions.

Only way I want to see 4WD on the Vette is it's to add electric motors to increase acceleration and performance.

Beautiful Stingray! Congrats. Seriously, do not dismiss using the new front camera's. They work extremely well.

I'm sure I'll get back into the RWD groove. It would be nice to hammer the gas and not have the rear go bananas, especially on the highway on ramps!! Most of my previous rides were RWD. Plus it keeps the car lighter without the extra drivetrain.
