Nice. My favorite color, if yellow wasn't available. Love your choice of CF mirrors/spoiler Now we just have to wait until spring gets here! You'll love the C-7 Dick

I have a 2015 Z51 Stingray and a 1LE Camaro and enjoy them both equally! You'll probably learn two things in your transition...the car is faster than your old one.....the people who also own a Stingray are much more childish than those who owned a car similar to your Camaro.

I had a 328 then a 355 before the Vette. Other than the fact that it's a Ferrari, you aren't missing much. Want to make sure you get there and back?........take the Vette!

Love your taste in color / trim levels.. we have a '14 Torch Red 3LT and even though we don't really "street" race for the obvious reasons, sadly we are guilty of defending our Corvette's honor against a few rowdy ZL1's. Very close races but the win each time went to the C7.
