Congrats , why would you park it like that with one side on sidewalk ?
Secondly wrong transmission choice, should have gone with a M7

That's a good looking Vette! Maybe he parked it that way so it wasn't sticking out on the street too much. Nothing wrong with the A8. To each his own. He'll be very used to an auto when he moves on to a C 8.

As this is my fifth Corvette, I have owned two manuals and three autos. For the track I prefer sticks, but for the drag strip and day to day driving, I prefer autos. I am glad you like your seven speed instead.

Thank you! I think the manuals and autos both have their places, and have had both in the Corvette. Technology marches on in the C8 for sure.

If you bought it from Stingray Chevrolet...I had that car tagged as a possible one to purchase! Great car optioned just right. I have to sell a house before I can but a C7, we recently bought our retirement home but the other home has not sold yet because of all the Covid rules. Hopefully soon.
Glad it found a great home with you! Congrats.

Nice...congrats! I've taken a similar journey...skipped 2x gen's at a time...bought a C3 and C5, both at 6 years of age and enjoyed them for 15 years each. My 19 C7 was my first new Vette also. Absolutely love it...going every other Vette gen there was a huge difference in improvements on all fronts. My son will also inherit my C7 one day...but this will be my last Vette and I'm 63 now...so I hope that it will be MANY years from now 
In the meantime he's thoroughly enjoying his Mustang that he bought new 5 years ago. All the best!
