Thanks KK-you really need to see it. I'm not sure the pictures do it justice.
Every once in a while, I'll go to the garage................just to look at it.

Btw,i saw a 3LT listed on Auto Trader for $99100.Can
.Allocation for Canada is very limited.A project manager at work has a deposit on a '15,not sure if he will go through with it or not but if he does i will get to experience one in person,strange thing though,the dealer has not given him a price on the '15 yet.

Cool-tell him to get the 8 speed dual clutch transmission. Hey, just come down to the National Meet-we'll go for a ride!
Yea, I just went down there this morning. We're sickies, Jeremy!

Car looks awesome Steven! I expected nothing less though.
LOL at you guys that go out to your garage to look at your car. I'm definitely in the same boat! I haven't done it much lately since I haven't added any new mods, but I do it after a nice detail. It's also one of the perks of parking at the back of the lot...I get to enjoy looking at her for a minute or two longer than if I parked in the front.

This car is just beautiful
Saw a dark green convertible one today with brownish top.
Was going to take a picture for you but couldn't
It looked classy and sport. Love it

WHAT !!! NO !!! I did not read it...tell me the news again 
I think GM has done amazingly well with this car (and the Camaro ZL1)....
If at any point if you get bored with the power, you can hit up procharger and get their kit....and they are LOCAL too

I am too....am sooo glad American cars are getting better power-wise and the only thing responsible for that is TUNE !!!
back in the days, you want more power, put a V8 in there....even more, V10...
I remember my ex-girlfriends brother had a ford Taurus (1998 if I remember right) and the 3.0 V6 in that pumped out only 200HP....about the same which the tiny i4 on the Civic Si put out....and the 3.4 V8 put out only 235hp....
now the Ford Taurus 2.0L i4 puts out 240hp and with the 3.5 V6 Ecoboost puts out 360hp....they sure are doing things right...
btw this is what is stated on the procharger website:
even if you gain 40%...you are 460hp now, you will be upto 644hp...similar to that of the Z06

Well...let's just say, in a far away galaxy...you lived in a place where you could drive it with the top down year round and the soft top was nothing but an afterthought and a shade to keep the sun off the leather when parked, and thieves from reaching in and stealing your cd player and radar detector.
In THAT world...would you then have a soft top convertible?
I find that what "does it" for people can be very malleable given context. I thought I'd never have a soft or hard top convertible.

hahaha...funny was telling Meko the same thing when he was here....
saw a S2000 at the meet with a CF hard top and we were drooling over it....I was telling him that if I was in FL or CA, i might want the convenience of a convertible as well to enjoy the wind in my hair ALL YEAR LONG !!!
but i would still lean towards a hard top convertible if that be the case....I wish the Honda/Acura line up was as good/big as the BMW/Audi/MB line up

Yup^
I was like I know a guy that sold his hardtop
Only convertible car I like is S2k... in that case, I wouldn't run a hardtop if I lived in FL and owned a S2k
Screw S2k, let's talk about C7
I got inside the car... first thing that went through my had was... "I wasn't expecting it to be this different and amazing"
That wide narrow windshield and long ass hood was the first thing that pulled my attention.
Hood looks sooooo good from the interior.
And then of course the sounds
That exhaust is just perfect. No way to describe it.
While cruising on highway, he took it to eco mode and exhaust got quiet at that second
Interior is beyond German to be honest
Those secreens and lightings, buttons and etc were rich
Gald you bought it Steven. I mean really a car that should be kept. Has a character.
Glad to see you as well, meet was great, everything was fantastic. Thanks Steven!!!
Hopefuly see you next year with Rocket Bunny kit on BRZ may be
