Amen - Dave, I went Caddy shopping for a new CTS at my local Chevy/Cad dealer last month. I pulled up in the Stingray - they said they had never seen one before! If you are a potential buyer, you...

Mike, I think you will find the C7 in "Sport" mode is plenty tight, even without Z51 - it easily rivals my last six Z51's. I haven't tried "tour" or "eco" mode yet - Sport just feels "right." I...

The wide tires will "skip" on tight turns, especially then cold. Totally normal.

Forum etiquette: don't post all the photos that the OP posted, OK? I saw them once, and I don't need to see them again and again. If you don't know how to remove them from your post - ask.

MSRC also requires you to buy Z51. All of my C5's and C6's had Z51, but I skipped it this time for the C7, and frankly, don't miss it. This car is tight! (But I'm not a "track rat.")

That's what I'm using. I've been thinking there may be a way to use one of the USB ports, but haven't done the research yet.

NPP is a waste of money imho - the standard exhaust has a pretty good "bark" to it if you're in "Sport" mode. I choose not to call attention to myself by being too loud. As it sits, I can rattle...

When we lived in San Diego (Carlsbad), we made a couple of trips a year to the Sta. Barbara wine country, and made several stops in Solvang. Neat little town, great pastry!

I've removed the CORVETTE lettering from the rear fascia, and the Stingray badges from the front. The Stingray emblems survived the ordeal - the lettering fell apart.

Be prepared to spend a LOT...

I haven't really played with cruise much in the C7, but in my C5's and C6's if you set the cruise at 60 in fifth, and then shifted to sixth, you'd need to reset the cruise. No biggie.

On the C5, if the a/c condensation drain got clogged, it would drip onto the body-control computer, and eventually fry the computer. Ask me how I know. ~$900 fix, plus towing charges.

Except when it's something no-one wants. Resale value on green Corvettes typically sucks - I brokered 'vettes for several years, and green is a very tough sell, even if it's a "rare" color.

Green Corvettes just don't sell well. Lime Rock is a beautiful color, but I think the general rule is that if a color doesn't make the 5% production "cut," it's gone.

I would venture a guess that you could use some fishing line to remove what's left, and order a new emblem at the Chevy store. I don't know what sort of adhesive should be used.
