Torch Red From The Museum Is Finally Home (PICS)
Just got back From picking up my baby from the museum yesterday. I want to thank Rick Conti for everything he has done to get me this beauty. I still can't believe I was one of few that barley made it over the carbon fiber dash and Z51 constraint. Rick put in the order on sept 25th and I took delivery of the car on November the 18th. I still can't believe this beauty is in my garage 
. The museum delivery was the best experience of our lives, my wife still can't stop raving about it. All the crew at the museum were awesome 
We drove about 750 miles back from the museum to Frisco Tx so we had plenty of time to get to know the car. I only have one word to describe it "WOW". I love everything about this car. Here are some pics from the museum, enjoy 
Here are my options on the car
2LT
NAVIGATION
Z51 PACKAGE
TRANSPARENT TOP
CARBON FIBER INTERIOR PACKAGE
6 SPEED AUTO
RED CALIPER OPTION (RED)
MAGNETIC SELECTIVE RIDE CONTROL
VARIABLE TUNED PERFORMANCE EXHAUST CONTROL
Battery Tender

Congrats! This is how I want to take delivery of mine when the time comes.
How was the trip home? Did you vary your speed/rpms along the way?

I am so glad I did the museum delivery. After hearing all the horror stories with cars on shipping trucks getting damaged I decided it was definitely worth it. The museum crew prep the car the way it should be.
