1st Corvette owner here too! Never had I seriously thought I'd buy one until that day on 1-13-13... knew then & there it's a must have for me. Followed it religiously ever since (still do)... even flew to Chicago Auto Show and was at Barrett Jackson to visually & hands-on examine it for hours/days. Fast forward to today, I 'effin love it!

My first Corvette
My first two door car
My first new American car
My first ordered car (still at 1100 after 8 weeks)

I'm anecdotal evidence that if you build it they will come.
