Default New Arrival

My wife & I picked up our 05' silver Z51 on Tuesday(10th) from KERBECK CHEVROLET, NJ. This is our 1st Vette and we love it. I can't wait until the break-in period is over. The acceleration is simply amazing for a car (I used to ride a crotch rocket "02 CBR 1100 XX) and the handling is precise. Now I understand why all Corvette owners take such pride in their cars.

I would also like to thank David Brown @ Kerbeck Chevrolet in NJ for the awesome experience in our 1st Corvette purchase. We ordered our Z51 on April 5 and we picked up our car on May 10!!

I'll post some pics in the next coming week.... got to take the Vette out now

Congratulations. You are a lucky dawg.
I have heard it said that "silver" is the fastest.
Best of luck. Happy for you.

Sounded to me like his wife is going with him. I find chicks don't flirt much when a wife is sitting there.
