Well today was the day ! Pics inside
So after ordering mid December my baby finally got to the dealership !
Couple observations I would like to make for those deciding on options.
I ( Had ) to have z51 this is a personal preference obviously. I also got mag ride along with npp exhaust.
Flipping the dial from track to tour gives you Imamate feedback in steering and suspension. This car rides amazing in your and handles super firm in track. I never knew a corvette could ride so nice !
My wife talked me into the 2lt at the salesman's desk when we placed the order. I'm so so so happy she did ! The cooled seats ad some much needed comfort that is very nice. No more sweaty back. Heads up display is about 1000x improved over the c6 HUD
Some things that i noticed in the 100 miles I covered today. Going from a six speed to the 7 takes some getting used to. The gear indicator is wonderful and much appreciated.
Overall it's a amazing machine. Yeah it's got some orange peel but I was expecting that. I'll get it cut down to where it should be this summer. Most of all though I was iffy about the stripe. But I think it's perfect ! Now that It's in person. It breaks up the white nicely.
This car should have 3000 miles on it in the next two weeks
were taking it to Florida for a much needed vacation. I can't wait till it's past 500 miles. It sure does feel like it has boat loads of power. But I'm going to treat it nice for the 500 miles.

, yes a very beautiful car indeed. I had seriously considered going with the white, before I finally ordered Blade Silver. Use her in good health...
...not to mention the black mirrors, spoiler & red calipers...slick !

I wouldn't worry about the 500-mile thing. If you go to the plant and watch them test the cars on the dyno after they come off the line: it's more radical than you're ever likely to inflict on the car - redline through four gears, iirc. (I'd love to have THAT job!)
Just be careful to avoid situations where you might have to brake in an emergency situation, and you'll be good to go.

Not usually a big fan of white wheels, but everything put together on your car looks awesome! Have a blast with it--still waiting for better weather and all the crap to disappear off the streets here in PA!

Looks like a Berger car??? Back in the day I bought my first new car from them. A 69Z, Daytona yellow, 4:10 rear, standard hood and spoiler delete. Sure wish I still had it.
Great looking car, love the CF mirrors/spoiler, for obvious reasons! So where do you live in MI?
