I traded my 2007 LS2 Corvette in for a 2013 LS3 Corvette!

Haha......There may be a Vortech T trim coming down the road!

what are the interior changes you speak of? this intrigued me, but i've been too busy to look... looking at pics of a 2013 online this afternoon, i don't see any differences other than the NOT-silver trim piece in the center console area.... and the steering wheel

Maybe i'm just not familiar enough, as my car has the carbon fibre center peice, along with the nappa leather wrapped console, etc from a Z06... glad i didnt pay for it, as that's some crazy expensive stuff....

this is my interior

**SonofaBish** · 11-04-2012, 05:26 PM

oh, and for the suspension, it depends on what you want.... from the factory, the vette is a very good handling car, but still has some forgiveness..... if you replace it with Z06 parts, its gonna get pretty darn stiff...

my car has Pfadt coilovers all around, and its pretty damn stiff... lol... they're fully adjustable, so i could soften them up a bit, but i LOVE the way it rides... it just might not be for everyone... the handling and responsiveness is incredible

I dont have many good pics of my 2007's interior but the seats are completely different, the whole center console, armrest, doorpanel armrest, shifter boot, e-brake boot, headliner and different steering wheel.

Your car was probably modded by the previous owner to some of the newer upgrades.

I'm not sure if I'd be going to a ZR1/Z06 bar on coupe sized tires. I'm going to go to Z51 bars.

right.... I know exactly what a regular car's interior is like, and felt like mine just had those subtle upgrades that made it 1,000 times better... i didnt know if those were the things you meant or not...

I would love to have one of the "D" steering wheels, but i'm definitely not paying $750 for a friggin steering wheel.... i haven't exactly looked around, so they might be cheaper elsewhere, but that's one price i saw

After doing some research I went with some DRM Bilsteins on all 4 corners.

Those along with the ZR1 front & Z06 rear swaybars should make a pretty good improvement in handling! ;) Not that the car didnt already handle really well, I just needed a little more....lol

**PaxtonShelby** · 11-05-2012, 10:38 PM

Is that the old car in your sig, or the new car with the old rims?

Put a damn bumper sticker or something on the new one so we can tell the difference already!

Lmao....thats the old car, the new car still has the stock wheels on it. Dont worry I have some big changes coming that will set the car apart!

**yeahloh95** · 11-06-2012, 06:57 AM

bring that thing to altoona we'll give it a face lift

**SK360** · 11-06-2012, 07:14 AM

Sounds good. Just hope those sways meant for wide body cars don't introduce too much oversteer.

Nice... That's what I want, but won't pay that for it....

How hard was it to install? For some reason I expect it to be tricky due to the airbag...

**somethingclever** · 11-06-2012, 12:59 PM

Ahhh...Corvette threads...

A thread with pictures of interiors and discussion of the difficulty of steering wheel installations.

:) :)
