First Time Vette Owner from East TN

I traded last week my pristine 2003 Chevy SSR in Slingshot Yellow for a new 2014 Stingray with the Z51 package and 3LT in Torch Red. Even tho I am 65 years young, I opted for the 7 speed manual transmission. Love the new Vette. Took her on a 400 mile trip thru the Blue Ridge Parkway this week. Having never owned one before, I have a lot to learn about this amazing car. Jerry

Jerry, it looks great. I like SSRs, especially the yellow ones, but I think that you will find that the Corvette will be a lot more fun than the SSR.
