The only thing I can say is I'm Excited to own one. To bad I had to wait until my mid 60's but hey it will be delivered soon,RAH!
Thanks for your replies.

Pat - welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase of your first Corvette. The C7 is a blast to drive.
As to your question about likes/dislikes of a C7, you should make a thread in the C7 General section where you will get plenty of feedback.

Couple of observations:
Top down cruising is quite comfortable between 60F and 90F; and comfortable at a bit lower temps in the sun shine. Temps above 90, keep the top up. In the summer time in the south, top down riding is strictly a (very pleasant) night time venture. Put the top down and ride...
The car often attracts a good bit of attention, some of which is not good attention. Be prepared for some spontaneous conversations about the car when fueling or the restaurant.
We personally enjoy the "Corvette wave," although some consider is silly, and you may too. It's a thing with many (most, perhaps) that goes back a number of years and covers all gens of Corvettes.
May want to check out local Corvette clubs if you like to mix.
Enjoy the car.
We trudge on.

Biggest problem I have had with my 2019 is sore facial muscles from a permanent grin, and waiting for Spring. You at least will get to enjoy driving your car soon.

Pat,
Welcome to the forum. You will enjoy your upcoming beauty! I can tell you from experience, you will be kept busy. I have a black on black GS and it is an endless job keeping it clean, but worth it !!
Good luck!

As you've seen so far, there are at least one or two folks on the forum that do as well!
Enjoy!!

Welcome to the forum Pat, and congratulations on the new Stingray. You never forget your first. As far as likes, and dislikes. I've owned Corvette's for over 30 years, and compared to the old ones I've owned I can say this car surpasses them all. So far I haven't found any dislike's with my C7 GS. It's a joy to drive.
BTW, with respect to late Tom Petty, "The waiting is the hardest part".

Welcome Pat from NC! You are going to love hearing that exhaust with the top down! As far as dislikes none other than when the temp is below 50 degrees the summer tires have very little grip...just drive with caution. Enjoy!!!

Congrats on a great choice , I have a 2LT stingray myself and just love it. Looks, power delivery and very comfortable considering it's a sports car, hope you got a manual.
The only thing I would say I dislike are the interior dash buttons, not bad but not high class, overall like the interior too with the red leather I have
Enjoy in good health
