My new 2012 Carbon Flash Centennial GS.

Traded in my Viper in on this last week. I love the car, so far I have just tinted the windows and slammed it.

Yup I am very pleased with the interior. This is my 7th vette and by far the nicest.

Yes, satin black from the factory.

Hurley, I remember you from the Alley and VCA. I noticed your car for sale a week or so ago. Why did you trade the Viper for the Vette? Just curious, as you only had the Viper a few months(?) and seemed to enjoy the car if Im not mistaken? Regardless of why, the car looks great and nice choice.

It was a HARD choice to make but bottom line is I was not driving the viper enough, it was just sitting in the garage. I LOVED my viper and will get another one but for now I needed a car that I could mile up/daily drive instead of having a viper sit in the garage and having a beater DD. Hopefully in a year or so I can afford to have this as a DD and get a GEN4 viper or a GEN3 TT.

Nothing wrong with that. Did you lower it on the stock bolts?

Hurley - thats cool.

I have a set of Satin Graphite CTS-V wheels to throw on my G8, and Comp Grey wheels on the C6 - love dark wheels on these cars.

Very cool. Congrats on the new ride. It looks great lowered.

Also, that is a lot of suede in the interior.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have owned 2 c6zo6's and I LOVE those cars and could of bought just about any one out there (minus a $100k carbon, or $100k cent. zoh) for the same money I paid for this car. Of course the power is not there with this one but to me all the little upgrades and features was what made this car worth it. Plus I will be modding it soon, so ls7's wont be a problem anymore!!!

Plan on doing all the bolt on's first, then possibly doing a procharger with low boost on the stock motor... we will see!

That is what I am thinking.... getting a intake, ported TB, and ported Manifold installed as I type this! I think I made it almost to 400 miles on the car before the modding started. :O
