My 100 & first car has arrived..a 2014 C7 Vette

My take so far.......
The ride with the Mag option is very good, makes the Z51 ride smoother in the tour mode.
The seats are Great as is the cabin space. Feels very roomy on the drivers side. The layout is perfect.
The BEST feature for me was the Heads Up Display! I had the MPH and the Navigation turn-by-turn info. displayed. You can keep your eyes on the road and see the color display very well.
I always had the built in navigation in my cars for the last 8 cars, But this is the first time I had HUD. I would not want to be without it now.
The car is very responsive at any RPM....Very Fast!
As of now I have not found any flaws, including the spoiler
The Gyber Gray looks very different in the sun. There is a lot of blue metallic in it, looks much better in the sun.
The Kalahari looks great, not orange like I saw in some photos.
The paint is what I expected, some parts have orange peal, much like my 2011 Tahoe LTZ.
The air cooled seats work very well Better than I expected. (much better than my 300h Lexus) Not Ice cold like my air cond. ones in my Tahoe of course.
The driving view forward is excellent. The rear view is challenging as I expected.
What I miss the most is the Blind side warning mirrors, back up radar & parking sensors. (like my 300h has) It does have a backup camera .

beautiful, badazz looking car! congrats!
the mag ride gets great reviews but would scare me for long term ownership - very $$$ pricey to fix outta warranty I bet.
BTW GM extended warranties are really cheap - check corvetteforum or just google (but be careful)
again, congrats on a fabulous car!

The wheel gap does look really big in some pictures, but looks "OK" in other pictures. I think/hope it will look better in person. The cap never bothered me much on the C6. Or maybe it will just take a while for the springs to settle on these new cars.
Either way, the car is effing amazing otherwise.

No, I don't play soccer!
White looked best IMO. The contrast with black accents and rims was sharp. The one on the right had 18"s in front and 19"s in the rear. I drove gray, white and yellow, skipped the two reds. They had green with the kalahari interior on display and of course black. The cross flags on the headlight is pretty cool. Overall it was a great event. I managed to get up to 102 MPH. Handling was superb. And for the price you can't go wrong.

And if you notice the interior shot, that run was with the A6 (6 speed auto) and paddle shifters

Que'd for production
Yesterday my dealer called to say my order had gone to event code 3400 which meant it was being paced in the que for assembly. Could be late this week or certainly next week. Getting closer. Torch Red w/Kalahari interior, carbon fiber dash, A6, black wheels w/red calipers, Z51 pkg, mag ride, performance exhaust, and Navi. Similar to photo below.
