My wife drives a 2012 550I w/ executive package. Upgraded 14 way pwr seats. The seats in her 550 are hard as a rock. Both her and I don't like them. My last vette was a c-4 almost 20 yrs ago. I've driven c-5's and c-6's. In my mind every vette is a great car, but the inside was not impressive just functional. This new c7 is impressive! GM did a great job. No rattles everything seems to be very tight. No more excuses. Now it the least expensive supper car with an interior that can hang with all the 80k + competitors. My opinion if you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.
Thanks
Thanks for your update. It is great to hear your satisfaction with the quality, fit and finish. Enjoy it!

What is the highway cruise ride like in "Tour" setting compared to your 640?

The C7 looks so good in that color. I want to see this car with some aftermarket wheels.

So true! The Vette never stood out so attractive in white as ever as in this new C7. I have seen 4 white Stingrays already in public here... from a base non-Z51 to a fully loaded 3LT Z51 and they all look stunning!

Biggest difference is the vette is noisier @ HW speed. Less sound damping, a much lot louder motor and more aggressive tire is my guess. Ride is similar in tour unless you hit BIG bumps. Then the c7 wins. The 640i, makes a scary crashing noise on large bumps. I one of the mags complained about that when the car came out. The vette is 80% as smooth and 150% more fun to drive. The 6 series is just to heavy. Its a nice car to cruise in, but it no athlete.
