It's here :-)
Firstly a big shout out to Mike Furman. He told me that he could get me into a factory order Z51 with Painted roof before the end of March, and he did it with a day to spare :-)
It is my first Corvette so I have no prior experience with other dealers, but Mike did exactly what he said he would do and was incredibly responsive and helpful on the journey
So I picked up my Shark Gray / Adrenaline Red Z51 yesterday. There is no such thing as a bad looking C7 but I am really pleased with the color combo I chose. I have always been a sucker for gray or bright Orange cars (I can't even explain why I like those 2 VERY different colors so much!!)
This is the first properly fast car I have owned since I stopped racing Lotuses in the UK 10 years ago and I had forgotten how a truly fast car feels. And this delivers power in such a different way to European and Japanese small capacity, high revving engines.
Very impressed so far, found three really crap reasons to drive to the store last night :-)
Pictures not properly staged as yesterday was very overcast, so will work on some better ones soon

You made a great choice in the color combo. Congrats on taking delivery of your Stingray - hope you get many years of trouble free enjoyment from it.

looks awesome. I ordered the same color and everything with grey interior from Mike also. My tpw is 4/13 and I can't wait. I love seeing the pics of yours because it looks just like mine will look.

Sharp car. Glad to read another positive experience with Mike as I am working with him as well.
