Default Picked up a new 2016 tonight

After a week of looking at this car I bought it tonight. You either love it or hate it? I like owning Corvettes that are different? I traded in my 2015 Z51 1LT coupe on this one. I got the new Admiral Blue with a Black Top and Adrenaline Red interior. Drove it 40 miles home tonight and noticed a few things over the 15. I feel the 8 speed automatic shifted better. I also think the ride is better. I like the new steering wheel.

I dig it except for the red interior. The machined faced wheels are really great looking. What made you switch? Just the color?

Splendid combo! I like the blue very close to my 2006 'Le Mans blue'. Congrats
