Chameleon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have not posted up pics because I have not had time to take any decent pics. I have been really busy lately and have not driven it much. Have not had time to take it out on the highway at all. In the meantime, it does look great sitting in my garage. Getting a black vert eliminated the only two things I absolutely can't stand about the C7: 1) the rear valance matches the body color, eliminating the "diaper" look that I hate; 2) the vert top does not have any window behind the door like the coupes do. I don't like the look of that rear side window because it makes it look like the car should have a back seat. Cool features: I can put the vert top up or down remotely by pushing a button on the fob. On the freeway in overdrive, the engine switches to running on 4 cylinders. Touching the controls reverts to 8-cylinder power. I am getting 34 mpg on the freeway and 20 mpg around town (and you know how I drive). The tranny seems to be "smart" - if I am crusing in 7th, decelerating, and downshift, the shifter drops effortlessly into 6th. However, if I am cruising in 7th, accelerating, and downshift, the shifter drops effortlessly into 4th - right into the powerband. The pipes have a lovely deceleration burble - think I'll make a recording of that to lull myself to sleep at night. The guages that display on the dash are customizable. All dash displays, audio, phone and nav can be controlled from the steering wheel and/or by voice control. There are more USB ports than I have devices. There is a "launch control" feature I haven't checked out yet. The "rev match" feature, when activated, performs that "throttle blip" for matching engine revs to velocity for performance shifting - no driver talent required. I received a suprising stock item: Z51 "rotor cooling rings" for track-only use, along with official factory guidance on how to properly prep for track use so the warranty remains intact. That's all for now. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk ten steps from my kitchen into my home office and I'm at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
