Yes, I had a 2005 triple black convertible which I sold a few years ago and regretted it. That was my favorite corvette!!!!! I got so many compliments and so fun to drive!!!!!!! It was a Z51 suspension.

Now this 2008 has more options and that NPP exhaust is awesome and this one has it. Different suspension on this F55 for more cruising type driving. (and i can do a real comparison). And of course a 6 speed!!!!!!

I saw this and fell in love with it!!!!! Love at first sight!

Yes!!!!! I thank you so much from that other thread!!!!! You all were looking out for the best for me. I will be able to take my time for that stingray. No doubt.

I went with Intercity based on the reviews here!!!!!!!!! Looks like they are picking up the corvette on Friday or Saturday. It is located in the middle of NOWHERE like from that Chevy Chase movie, "Funny Farm" Literally it is like that!!!!

That, AND.....

I just ordered a mild to wild switch and don't even have the car yet!!!!!!!!

It will show up at my doorstep before the ride shows up. I will look at the package and youtube videos of the switch and fantasize about the sound.
