Default Really pumped up!!

I'm really pumped tonight. After selling my 74 vert. of 20 years, I'm picking up my 08 coupe tomorrow afternoon. And the best part, I have a four hour road trip home.

Look forward to seeing everyone here in the forum.

Congratulations!! A year ago I sold my 66 roadster to buy my 08. It was like a family member since I'd had it for 30 years. I miss it sometimes but wouldn't change anything. You will love the 08!!!

Congrats bud! My only advice for you is that after owning/driving a 74 model for so long take it easy on the 08 until you get a hang of the immense increase in HP! Your in for one hell of a ride!

Like they say about something else . . . best way to get over one is to get another.

Thanks everyone. I'll see if I can figure out how to post some pics later. Are there instructions on how to do that somewhere?

I am sure you are going to be more than surprised by the difference. I have a C3, too, and there is no comparison in it and a C6...just amazing.

Congratulations!

Enjoy

I hope the corvette feel is still in the 08. Let us know the similiarities.
