Finally got one! My first Vette!
After years of wanting one I finally was able to swing one! 2007 Corvette Z51, hud, two tone interior, Monterey Red, with 25k miles... picked it up for about $29k Im happy 
I don't know much about all of the options but I liked the wheels as they look to be z06 replicas are those optional on that model year?
It was very well cared for by previous owner .. no scratches and the interior is extremely clean.
It is scheduled to get a clear bra put on it next week! I love the color!! Now its time to play and see what we can do and have fun driving it
I will have more pics soon ... Heres the kicker .. I am a Sales Manager for a FORD store lol .... oh well! I have a 2012 F150 Crewcab Ecoboost also!

Congratulations! Very nice looking car. Those are QL9 high polished wheels you have there. They were a $1,500 option on the Z06. Couldn't be ordered on a base coupe. But hey, you work at an auto dealership, and if the customers wanted them bad enough......

Thanks for the compliments guys! And thanks for the heads up on the wheels! I wasn't sure what/where they came from but its nice to know what they are ... i tried looking at all the codes in the glove box but could not find those wheels in the codes so i thought I would ask you guys since you would know better than I
Now I think I might look at upgrading the Navigation system ... any suggestions? It just looks old lol I can already see this is going to be an expensive hobby lol

Beautiful color and those wheels look great. I would guess that the wheels are not Z06 optional wheels. The size, and offset, off of the stock Z06 wheel will not fit directly on a base Coupe without sticking out in the rear, or rubbing in the front. They are most likely after market repros. Not that there is anything wrong with that. A lot of folks replace the stock wheels with these. If you look at the size of the rear tires, and they are 285 (or close to that) then they are after market. A Z06 tire will be 325 (or close to that)...

Awesome, beautiful car. Keep the wave alive!
When my son was young and would see me wave at other Corvette drivers. He would ask if I knew them. I would say "No." He would then ask why I waved. I would smile and say, "Cause they know."
"Know what?"
I would then punch it, and say "What this feels like!"
He would get the biggest smile as he was thrown back into the seat!
Enjoy!!!
