Default Worth the wait !!!

Flew to Maryland yesterday morning to pick up my new C7 Z51 M7 3LT from Mike Furman at Criswell. Had an awesome 370 mile ride home which let me experience this great car. My ride from Maryland to Northern Ohio took me through some beautiful country. There were spotty storms during my ride so I went from nice dry sunny conditions to hard *** rains and the car performed great! It was easy varying speeds as prescribed for the 500 mile break in going from hitting 90 a few times to doing 40 during a down pour on some hilly roads hoping I didn't hydroplane. Used every mode except Track. The car is simply magnificent !!

Very nice car. Machined wheels? I like them. I hope to pick up my 2016 from Mike in a couple months.

I didn't list the color in my post. It's Night Race Blue. It looks black at first glance if it's cloudy or at night. In the sun it is a bright deep blue with a lot of metallic sparkle. Obviously I think it's an awesome color for the Stingray

Nice, that color would have been my other choice (I'm Shark grey). Love the wheels.
