I really like the interior of the C7.  It's got that ridiculous hidden spot behind the screen too, right? :lol:
Sure does!!! Perfect size for a firearm! LOL!!! It's lockable also!

OH SWEET. I had no idea. Very handy for having to go into the post office and what not ;).

Lead futures, huh? Nice!

The C7 is a great car. I really enjoyed my time with one, I'd totally buy one myself. Even in automatic, it was a fun ride (though I'd never buy an auto myself).


Have lots of fun with it!

It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

It would make a great cruising car, even auto. Go for a drive without hassle. Also wouldn't be bad commuting with the stop and go traffic around here.

Thanks! I've had that plate since the G8! LOL!!! I love my manuals but I doubt I'll ever buy a NEWER car with one again.

6 Month Update: No Issues! The car has been bullet proof so far! 35% tint and LED Marker Lights are the only mods I've done so far. The car will be going into hibernation in a couple weeks....

You gotta sell this thing, man. Get a C8 already! I'll take this lousy C7 off your hands. $5k seems fair ;)

After two years of trouble free driving the C7 has developed an issue. For that past few months I've heard a subtle knock when I turned the car off. At first I thought It was the Exhaust moving around a bit. It wasn't. Last week I ran to my cabin and I noticed that whenever I got on the gas I could feel a jerk. Not anything big but it felt like a U Joint going bad. I dropped the car off to the Stealership yesterday and they found out what the problem is today. The whole Torque Tube needs to be replaced. This is a known issue with C7s and I'd read up on the issue recently. The Tech told me the job (parts and 17 Hours of labor) would be $5900. I gave him the number to my extended warranty company and told him to let them know. They agreed to fix the car but not until their Adjuster took a look tomorrow or Saturday. This is the one time buying an extended warranty paid off for me!  :cheers:

Time for an upgraded torque tube and supercharger

Torque tubes have always been problematic. You'd think they would have figured it out by now.

How much of the assembly needs to be replaced?

They replace the whole assembly! I've heard some shops will rebuild them tho!
