Default Well, I did it....

I traded my 2014 2LT Z51 Vert, and ordered me a 2016 coupe!
She will be a Torch Red 2LT with Chrome Wheels, Mag Ride, 7 speed with Red Calipers; NPP, PDR, Two tone Blk & Red Seats, Carbon Flash Stinger Stripe, Visible Carbon Fiber Roof, Carbon Flash Spoilers & Mirrors and Carbon Flash Bage Pkg. I should get her just in time for spring in Alabama. I am real excited about this car, I have owned a few Vettes but this is the first time I have ordered one! I'll post some pics when she arrives!!!

Well, at least you ordered the right color...
Guess I will hold on to my 2014 Torch Red coupe a while longer.
I special ordered mine with just 2LT, red calipers, and spoiler to keep the cost down to $55K. Decided I had no use for the Z51 or the rest of the $25,000 worth of options.

Must be getting a coupe to keep the coal dust out.
Enjoy your new ride, sounds like it will be nice.

Sounds like a very nice and well equipped car you ordered. Hope the build process goes smoothly and the time passes by quickly.

Well I traded my 2013 GS coupe for the 2014 Vert, wifes idea. She wanted us to have a vert, I was ok with it but I really wanted a coupe. Anyway for her 50th birthday I bought her the 2003 50th Anniversary Ed. Vert, shes always loved that car. That allowed me to get the coupe I wanted with the stick, hers has the auto trans. Now we are both happy!! I posted a couple pics of her car in another thread today.
