Beautiful car! I love my nightrace blue '16 Stingray coupe. To me, 2016 is the best year for the C7. By then all the good options and features were available.

Nice looking ride Mike! Is it an A8 or M7? If you haven't already hit up your local GM dealer for a VIS report to see if it had the triple flush if it's an auto. I picked up a '16 last year and they're great cars.

Welcome to the C7 club; I've had my '16 for over five years and still love it (45,000 miles and counting on my daily driver). Don't think I'll ever get tired of driving it.

Looks great! Love the color.
Picked up my 16 last Fall. Mine was like yours, just a bit fewer miles (only 6300)... Prior owner had only done routine maintenance annually. No regrets here and I'm sure you won't have any either! And in the sun, LBR really has a deep sparkle to it.

Very nice. I'm 14 months in from purchasing my '15 ZO6, 3LZ, M7, convertible and I still grin every time I fire it up. Stay safe, stay healthy.
