6-Speed manual for me. I hear awesome things about the 10-speed automatic though. I actually miss having a 7th gear though since I became so used to it in the C7.

They are just different cars. The Zl1 is faster than my C7 was and I keep my cars stock. I consider it more of a lateral purchase as opposed to a downgrade, but it doesn't matter. I didn't buy it to...

Because I have been a member here for many years and drove a C7 for 70,000 miles. Move along if you feel your time has been wasted. My apologies. I like seeing what other C7 owners end up with when...

Sold the C7 for a ZL1

I sold the C7 a while back and picked up a Lexus RC 350. The car ended up being a little dull (but very nice) so I picked up a new 2019 Camaro Zl1. The car is an absolute monster. I miss the C7 but I...

Yeah, but I stopped caring what other people think of my cars a while ago and I am 36 years old. Hell, even a de-badged ZL1 would be kind of fun to drive around town.

If I am dropping $60k+ on a...

ZL1's are not a dime a dozen and it's one of the meanest cars out there right now. It's not like the C7 is a low production car. They are everywhere as well.

I would get the ZL1 if I were you, OP.

Post about your experience on Yelp and Facebook. You don't have to slander them or anything - just tell the truth. Hopefully they will try to make it right for you.

I sold my car several months ago. I drove it over 70,000 miles which were mostly trouble free. However, I wanted something different after five years. I picked up a new Lexus RC 350 F-Sport. I really...

I just had them test drive it. It would happen at highway speeds at any temperature. The yellow lights go away for a reason - the coolant is in the proper temperature range. They come back when the...

This happened to my 2014 Z51. The thermostat was stuck partially open and the temperatures drop like you described. The yellow lines would come back on the tachometer as well just like when the car...

Sorry if it's a bit blurry. I drive highway but also enough around town to show my average speed is fairly low as indicated. I daily drive it.

I bought my 2014 Z51 in October of 2013. I am closing in on 60,000 as it's my daily driver and I am still on the original battery. I am knocking on wood though!
