Congratulations!!! What colors - C7 AND ZL1?!!! Aren't we blessed! My spouse has a 2014 Z51 cyber gray stingray. In January I traded my 2012 C6 (also cyber gray) for a 2015 Silver Ice Metallic ZL1.

The 3 cars are SO different. I miss the C6 but it was beating me up on my 2 hr a day commute. First year was fun as heck. 2nd year it got old. C7 and ZL1 are night and day. I find the C7 a more "fun" and visceral car to drive, but another one that I couldn't live with for 2 hrs a day, 5 days a week of driving. I was losing hope of finding a seat of the pants bad-@$$ car to drive that was cushy/comfy enough for the commute until I found the ZL1.

My C7 is my daily driver and it now has 20,000 miles. It's ride is not as smooth as the ZL1 but it can really rip through traffic when you want to and mine is averaging me 22 mpg. That is with a lot of triple digit speeds, much better mileage than I ever got with the ZL1.

Sweet! I might be aiming to do the same thing

What kind of seat do you have in the C7. When I went to test drive two, I found the seat and interior to tight for me and my 6'2 250 pound frame.

I ended up keeping my Gen5 Camaro and C5 corvette. Ill see how the Gen6 Camaro seats feel, and jump into that. It will be a great bang for the buck compared to the Corvette even though im a Corvette fan at heart

If I were to replace my ZL1, the C7 is at the top of that very short list of potential replacements.

I had a 2014 Stingray I traded for my ZL1. I STILL miss that car even though I love my ZL1 too - just for different reasons.
