Congrats on a sweet looking ride. I traded a '94 base in on a '19 Stingray the end of January. I enjoyed driving the C7 so much a little over a week ago I traded my '12 GS 'vert for a '16 Stingray Z-51 'vert. I really enjoyed the C6 but as you said the C7 has more updated features (as it should) and it's just a blast to drive.

Thanks everyone! I will say a few things about the change froma C6 to a C7 GS. The GS has a firmer ride, much tighter and more responsive steering, a ton of gadgets for your driving needs, amazing brakes (even without carbon rotors). I had the M2W switch on the C6 so I got used to the nice exhaust sound but the C7 is very quiet so I immediately pulled the fuse to the exhaust valves and now it sounds better. The seats also hug you more compared to the C6. The C7 is much more refined while the C6 was a bit more on the raw side. I enjoyed the C6 a lot but the C7 GS is on a whole new level in terms of driver satisfaction. That's my quick first impression. More to come next weekend!

Hey Bruno - Welcome to the C7 GS Club. Your going to love it. Strong recommendation to review and look for the Sticky pages. There is so much good information that other owners has put together. a couple things you should look at, 1. A8 - has had the triple flush or M7 has had a transmission, differential fluids changed. There are some good sticky notes on these subjects. 2. Read/Review the owners manual, I did a couple of times on specific subjects to become knowledgeable of the features, and there are lots of them.
Again, welcome aboard.

I remember driving my 2007 C6 to the dealer and saying "one way or the other, I'm leaving here in a Yellow Convertible.......yours or mine" The two cars are miles apart in terms of technology....
Congrats on the upgrade....
