Default And, it's finally here!!!

It's been just under two weeks now that I signed all the paper work and sent it back to Tommy Jr. My 2012 GS just came off the truck. Today would probably be better if I didn't have the flu, but once I saw the car I felt much better

I was really nervous that I didn't choose the right color and that the hash marks wouldn't look right. I was worrying over nothing. Love the car!!! I must say, compared to my 2010, the paddles feel much more firm and quick on the shifts. I'm not sure if anything has changed from 2010 to 2012 but either way, 100% satisfied This is my third corvette and it feels so good to get into a race car on the street.

Thanks to Tommy Jr. and InterCity Lines for getting her here in such good shape!

Here are some pics.

Hey, Congrats. I think the stripes look good with the paint and match the chrome wheels and silver calipers.
