Default I really like it!

In Oct 2013, I decided it was time to order my Stingray, and order it just like I wanted it. Unfortunately, my local dealer just couldn't seem to get it bought because of option constraints. I'd almost lost interest and then in February, I gave Rick Conti a call. I picked up my Crystal Red convertible, Z51, LT3, Kalahari top and interior, carbon fiber loaded up on Wed April 9th, 6 weeks after I ordered it. (I am still stunned)! I pull over often, get out the manual, read a little, and hit the road again. There is an awful lot to this car. How can you not love these C7 Stingrays! I've passed 500 miles and when it hits 1500 I'm headed to Miller Sports Park (SLC, UT) just to see if I can drive it!

Awesome! I've had mine for 5 days now and absolutely love it as well! There is a lot to be learned, especially with the infotainment system.

So I go up to the capital, eat lunch, see a great photo op and some guy comes over and ask to take the shot with me next to the car. These C7's attracts attention! I've still not seen one on the road in Salt Lake.

There aren't a ton but there are two others close to me. A TR and another CG plus an AW I've seen up around the Avenues.

There is really only one dealer that has decent allocation so there really aren't that many.
