For basically a brand new car, sounds like a good deal to me.

I am located in Clayton (official home of the Toyota Prius).
Is there a good Corvette specialist shop you would recommend in the STL area?

Good for you! Enjoy that new ride to its fullest!

Sounds like your car will not be stock for long, from the sound of your past cars. Boost that bad boy and you'll be done. Well...not so much! Sweet ride man.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'm trying to think of any complaints I have about the car, but really can't come up with any! The throw on the shifter is a little too long, IMO, but that is it! It really has far exceeded my expectations!
OK, don't be distracted and welcome to the Forum. You're in good, no, great company!!
