It's not changed. Dealer does the PDI, cleans it up and it hits the lot. It's up to the owner to read the owners manual and change it as required. You know, that book in the glove box that no one ever opens anymore, then comes into the dealer bitching that their convertible top wont operate when all they had to do is open the manual to realize that the trunk partition has to be in place before it will operate. Seen this countless times on the Corvettes.

I will never understand why people don't read it...you learn so much that you probably had no idea your car can do....I'm not bitter or anything.

I'd hope so too, but I don't think they will budge much. Look at C5 prices still. ~$24k.

Maybe up there. You can get c5z's here for 18-24k. A base c5 is like 15k or cheaper.

The C7 Concept looks great IMO...have you guys not seen it? I've also been under the impression they were moving to rear engine, 5.5L motor similar to the one now in use in the C6-R racecar...thats where they got the LS motors from
