Default New Z51 is home!

The carrier arrived yesterday almost to the minute he said he would after 4 days and 2300 miles (live about 50 miles south of SLC). Nice! I usually order my 'fun' cars in red (I really like a bunch of the colors I've seen!), but thought I'd do something different this time. Was in Miami a couple of weeks ago and saw two DSOM C7s and really liked them - pops in the sun so I thought I'd try it. Arrived with not a scratch on it, and virtually no orange peel!

Z51; DSOM; 2LT; MRC; PDR; CF badges/spoiler/mirrors; painted and transparent roofs; black wheels. Love the car! Put 200+ miles on it yesterday and today following the break-in information from the forum.

BTW, I really want to thank forum members for all the information sharing. I had the C7 as one of three options I'd narrowed it down to, and the forum has been very helpful. First time Corvette owner, and for my money, the C7 is a great combination of style, performance, and value. Also the forum was where I learned about Kerbecks. Kerbecks and Amoni (sales) rocked - what an easy transaction.

I hope each of us enjoys our cars, no matter which series.

If I was a more colorful person that would have been my choice, looks great.

Normally that color does not do it for me. However, a C7 with black wheels and it looks fantastic.

Beautiful car and color! Congrats. Big Red, my C7, also came from Kerbeck and Amoni.

Many thanks to you all for your nice comments. The DSOM is new to me - I hope I still like it as much in a couple of years as I do now. I think I will. Nice to have a passion to share with each other!
