I've been driving/tracking a Nissan 350Z for about five years now, but I got the itch for a new car and started test driving several different cars. I checked out things like the Infiniti G, Lexus IS, BMW 335, used 911, etc., but decided "what the hell" and decided to test drive a Corvette.

It was in my garage within four hours of the test drive. Got myself a six speed Z51. Obviously you guys have seen one before, but I'm giddy so cut me some slack while I post some pics.
















By the way, this is my first Corvette, so go easy on me. I'm learning more every day, but when I drove the car home I didn't even know what "LS3" meant.

I'm officially a converted import snob.

I wasn't a fan of those split spoke wheels but they are starting to grow on me....I'd like them in Comp gray...........Nice car, looks like an 1LT, Z51 option.....If so Good choice!!!!!!!!!

jonr1

Thanks! Yep, it is a 1LT, Z51 six speed. I figured that would be the most reasonable configuration for doing HPDEs since I can't afford a Z06.

Welcome to the forum and the family. You came out of a great car. I think you'll enjoy the Corvette. These are great, fun cars. You've also come to the right place to learn about them. The collective souls here have literally been there and done that with all things Corvette. Have a look around and don't be afraid to ask quesitons. Everyone was new once. Here's to many miles of smiles.

Welcome to the forum, you made an excellent choice. Congrats.

The guy who sold me the car owns three of them, and really knew his stuff. He told me about "the wave" and I was pleased to see that everyone around here knows about it too. It really makes you feel like you are part of a community even outside of the forums.

Welcome and congratulations! I test drove the same cars (except for the 911) before buying my 07 Coupe. I'm extremely pleased with the car and glad I didn't go with one of the others.

Excellent, off to the right start....here's a wave from Massachusetts

Welcome to the club. I notice you got yours at Maxie Price and also live in Suwanee. Same here. I will be looking for you on the roads in the hood. Remember the wave

Looks great!!! Those stock wheels look really nice too. Here's mine:

Maxie Price was certainly the place to go in Atlanta if you want to test drive a Corvette. Most Chevy dealers have one or two in stock, but they are sitting in the showroom. At MP, they have 50+ Vettes on the lot, so you get to try out several configs. You get to contrast the Z51 package to normal and decide if that works for you.

Oh, and I'm working on making sure the wave is implanted in my brain.

That silver looks nice. Makes me wonder if I made the right decision.

Every one of my previous cars has been silver. The new car was quite a leap in the color department.

CONGRATS!

I dont want to hijack your thread but I also got my 07 at MP...I was completely satified with the deal and the prep..How about you??

Congrats! Quite a performance step up from the 350Z. I transitioned to the C6 from an '05 G35 sport coupe. No comparo, but it was a nice car.
