Hi all !!! I am new to the forum as well as to becoming a possible first time vette owner. In the process of specing out a 2LT Z51 coupe in artic white w/ kalahari int, auto (may go 7spd manual). Also discussing with wife about doing a museum delivery and driving it home, approx 800 mi. See if I can plan it so I do a mid March delivery.
Owned a few 993 Porsches, currently have a '95 968 Cab.
Look forward to the posts and many questions I will have ( I will search first )

Welcome and enjoy the order process. Your timing sounds just about how I ordered mine earlier in the year. I took delivery in March and timed the order to take delivery after winter had passed.

Good luck!
