Keep us posted on your progress!

BTW.....Here is a link to the 2014 Corvette sales brochure to learn more about the feature options for that year: https://www.auto-brochures.com/makes...vette_2014.pdf

I bought a 2016 C7 3lt auto 7 months ago and its just a fantastic car to own. A lot of money here and to convert to RHD but that is well worth it. Its just a buzz every time we go out in it. Never had as many positive comments. Taken a couple of kids now that have just been drooling when they see it at the local shops for a quick drive ( their parents happily agreed )and they just grin ear to ear.
Just tell them work hard at school, save up and you can have one too .

Id have like the green too but as luck would have it theres no options here, take what is for sale......so mines black/black, but Ive just bought new chrome wheels from a bloke in texas so that should improve the appearance a lot. They will be here in about 2 months.

Do your self a favour - go buy one - here for a good time not a long time !!

The difference between the C5 and C7 generations is literally night and day. The C5 is a nice, sedate car; there's nothing particularly sedate about the C7. It's also more of a 'looker' than the C5 ever was; you certainly get a lot of attention on the road!

Having driven several later-edition C7s, I can tell a difference in the way the A6 drives versus the A8. But I like to think the bulletproof reputation of the A6 - and the aggressive nature of the car - make up for the lack of subtlety one experiences with the A6.

I had HMI and ACM modules professionally changed out for Infotainment pieces so I could have Apple CarPlay. That's really the only modification I plan to make to the car. I am so impressed with the '14 that I've cancelled my C8 reservations. I plan to keep this car for several years.
Congrats on that! My buddy gave me a shot behind the wheel of his ‘16 Sunrise Daytona Orange. What a machine. Now he’s expecting a ‘21 in Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. I pretty much hate him. Thanks for transmission tips. inspired me to read up as other members also mentioned.

I don't know if the position of my car in the 2014 run has anything to do with it, but my 2LT/Z51/M7/MRC/NPP has been perfect. The car was produced in February with a 16000+ VIN number. Would surely buy this car again.
