I pulled the trigger today...
2LT Z-51 I am still pinching myself. it is my first Corvette , had a 2010 370 Z and this seemed like the next logical choice when replacing that car. What a machine. I have been reading so many posts on this forum and it made me want one even more. the dealer, Balise in RI, only had 1 coupe and plenty of convertibles. Not a fan of the drop tops. Look great with it down but not up. I was originally thinking of just getting a 1 LT but the more I read and saw I knew this was the route for me. I just hope the weather is nice this weekend and all summer long. Hope to run into other vette owners.

Congrats! That blue is stunning! Great to hear you're in a Corvette. The 370z is a nice car, but this vette is altogether different, huh? How are you liking the power? I tell people it's not fast when I push on the accelerator.... it's violent.

Am in the same "club" as you (but I haven't gotten up the money yet). Would be interested in some of your thoughts on the change.
My Z is a 2010, also. About 4 and a half years old--never has had a thing wrong with it.

I loved the Z never had a problem with it but it always felt under powered as I had owned so many mustangs. If Nissan had made a reasonably priced Z-TURBO/SC I MIGHT HAVE GONE THAT ROUTE. I didn't want to get into modding the Z as I already have a Stang that is.

(and don't mention the Mustangs too often around here...that subject seems to bring out the flamers at times... 
)ENJOY !
