Awesome car. I bought a 2011 GS 3LT Crystal Red about 3 weeks ago! Looks like the same car with different wheels! Love mine, driving it every chance I get. Moved up from a low mile 93'

Congrats on a great car! I noticed when fueling up the gas cap is left hanging on the paint. There is a little extension on the gas cap to put the cable on and this prevents it from banging on the side of your Corvette. Have fun with your new ride!

Congrats ... you own a beautiful car! We seem to be importing GS’s to Tennessee lately. I flew to Wisconsin to get mine about two weeks ago. Now, I am developing a bad habit of finding some reason to go to the garage and stare at it. I still can’t believe I own such an amazing car.

I pulled the trigger as well back in April, got mine in Little Rock about 15 miles from home.... I spent 6 months looking all over and this one just happened to be traded in at a local dealership. One owner low mileage, couldn't pass it up. And it had zero mods which was a plus...

I know exactly how that feels! My wife thinks I'm crazy because I washed it Sunday and just sat outside with a beer in my hand looking at it.
And I'm glad we've single-handedly upped the GS in Tennessee quota, doesn't seem to be too many around.

Yes, finding a stock one seems to be a challenge. I've been looking on and off for 3-4 months but nothing really jumped out at me until I saw this one in Dallas. Luckily it was a cheap plane ticket away. I had considered a Z06 but the valve guide issues scared me away and plus it is nice to have the targa top on nice days.

I've noticed a total of one C6 widebody in Murfreesboro in the past year, and it was a Z06 heading out of town.

I think my wife is getting concerned about all the products I now need to keep it clean and polished, but it is a daily driver for me. (I spent this past Sunday polishing and sealing her car to make things look even.) I've also probably pissed off the neighbors as I leave the Mild-to-Wild on Wild all the time. If you don't have a Mild-to-Wild, absolutely get one.

Yep, washed and detailed the wife's car as well this weekend to make things even. And I'm sure your neighbors will get over it. It's a sports car it should be loud..

You may have already noticed this in the FS section, but just in case...

First, congratulations on your GS. I was so shocked to see this post.

This is my first post on the forum. I haven't gotten around to announcing the purchase of our GS, two weeks ago. In our search, this very car was our second choice if the deal on our car had fallen thru. I'm glad such a nice car found it's way to a good home.

My wife and I did the same thing.. flying to North Carolina and driving back to Maryland.

Again.. congrats. Enjoy.
