I custom ordered the car through Whitmoyer Chevrolet in Pennsylvania on 1/28/14 since none of the DFW dealerships had any remaining allocations for 2014 models (they couldn't even guarantee me delivery of a 2015 model during this calendar year) and took Courtesy Delivery through Huffines Chevrolet in Lewisville, TX. Courtesy Delivery is a program Chevy has that allows one dealership to order the car then have the factory ship it direct to another dealership. I took delivery of the car yesterday, 4/10/14, with 3 miles on the odometer! After putting in a few gallons of gas I drove it straight home and got a coat of wax on it. I plan to take a mini-roadtrip this weekend to the only Old Chicago in Texas, Killeen, TX, to complete the engine break-in. Until 500 miles the rev-limiter is set at 4,500 RPM with restricted usage of the throttle.

So far my impressions are simply amazing though; all the reviews and articles did not lie! The torque and response of the engine is a whole new world to me.

On to the pictures...

Looks like you'll be having some fun! That will be a lot of torque to play with. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it once you do some serious miles on it and how it compares to EVOs. Because they are for sure different beasts.

later,
Curt

Looks awesome! Congrats on the pick up!

They put an Oh Shit Grip on both sides for the passenger, awesome haha!

How is the 7 speed?
Incredibly tight! They packed 7 gears into a smaller space than the Evo's 5-speed even with the short-shifter mods on both my IX & X. It is very smooth and precise though; one of the first shifters I've ever owned that I don't immediately feel like it needs modding/fixing. It feels very similar to the OEM optional 6-speed short-shifter on the Camaro SS.

Trade you a non running built evo x for this...deal?

I am loving the white with black accents on this, best looking c7 I have seen so far.

How are mods/tuning support for this right now? Available?
