Here are 44 or so pictures of the new QC
. It was dark out, but they turned out well. The RC is parked next to it.

Please note these are large, unedited photos at 7.2mp Someone feel free to crop/resize and re-post some of the better ones for those on dial-up.
Some observations:
The blank area of the speedometer now has the PRND21 on it as in picture # 186-188
There is a tow haul button on the gear selection level.
There is no floor console, as such the extra lighter plug is located in the center flip down console.
There is a trans temp light on the left side of the instrument cluster.
The truck sits higher by about 2 inches all the way around.
There is a trailer hitch and 7 pin electric at the rear as in picture 181-185
The subwoofer is located in the rear under the driver side seat as seen in pic 170
The driver seat leans way back for the gansta lean as in pic 196
191-193 show a factory defect. SMOOTH pedals, no rubber, no knubs, just bare metal
The truck gets about 8mpg after 30 or so miles. It shifts quickly from 1st to 2nd around 1500rpm. Romping on it in 2nd or 3rd at low speed with break the rear tires loose
as it down shifts into 1st. The rev limitor seems to be off, as it goes well into the red before shifting, and it doesn't shut down.. VERY NICE feature/bug/broke option 
Handling is a little different with the longer chasis, cornering is a bit soft, but very nice.
If you aren't used to the RC and shifting it and getting feedback from the cluctch and gear shift as you go over bumps and rough road, you will feel a little dis-concerted about how the big front tires grab the steering wheel from your hands.
RPM's at all speeds is around 1000rpm, giving the truck a much quieter ride. I generally don't use 6th, but you get my drift. Drive around at 40mph in 6th and you'll get my drift.
Those are my first impressions.. I'll definately be getting RED and BLACK QC from Bill in the next month or so, one will be getting a SC and the other some Turbo's from Hennessey.
Oh, no rear floor mats on the QC.
