never had intentions of ever buying a Corvette again either but when the C7 came out had to have a silver one to show those body lines
I got it!

Funny you should mention that. Something weird was going on while driving in ECO at about 45mph it would act like it slipped out of gear rpm would go up to 4k then back down. Put it in Touring and no more issues but only got about 12 miles on it before it got dark and I came home so it wouldn't turn into a pumpkin. Will play with it some more today.

Blade Silver is a great choice. To me, silver has always been the classic color choice for a Stingray starting with the Sebring Silver of the 1963 split window coupes. I love my 2015 Blade Silver LT3 Coupe. I'm sure you will love yours as well.

Tranny weirdness now broke.
Well it's sitting ay the dealers after a trip on a rollback. The weirdness I was feeling in the tranny turned into no forward drive! Of course it decided to give up in the middle of an off ramp at peak travel. As I was slowing to a stop it gave a sudden lurch like it shifted into a granny gear then refused to move another inch. 79 miles. Not a happy camper. Just don't expect this sort of thing with a car in this price range.

rramjet, I was about to congratulate you on the great silver/red combination, when up comes your post re: stalling on an exit ramp. Did it stop dead with fast moving traffic behind you, nearly getting you rear-ended? Scary, and definitely not good for QC out of the factory. Let us know what the caused it when you find out.
