Here is one. You can break it in on the drive home.

http://www.chevrolet.com/cars/2014-c...-zipcode%3D430

It looks like that one is the Premiere Edition.

Put in 43119 for the zip code and the Premiere Edition shows up and a 2LT at another dealer both with the 7 speed.

I'm holding out until the buzz declines. It's to a point where you basically have to settle for whats left over. I have a feeling the 2015 is going to come out with more power and potentially a Z06 model...I have always found buying the first year of a model change, even though is a hype mostly is not the best way to get a new car.

Just look at the 97 vette and 98 f body sure it was better than the LT1 junk and had less issues but they were both crap compared to the fixes and improvements that came in the later years.

The only thing I can think of is if you have a 2009 (2010 MY) you cannot get some of the software updates that the 2010+ can get(interior dash stuff). I'm sure there are other small differences as well.

This ^

I had the same feeling as well and I hope that others looking to buy this car do the same. I think it will be similar to what Ford did when the released the 5.0 again THREE MONTHS AFTER they released the revamped 4.6's. SMH....From what I remember owners where really pissed on what they missed out on. So I say wait, because I have a feeling the 15’ will be over the top.
