Default It's a (Long Beach) Red Letter Day


After lusting and lurking since the C7 was introduced we have finally placed the order. Z51 Coupe, LBR/Gray, 7M, MSRC, R8C. Pretty painless process with the GM Military discount. I always get crabby when I commit to a large sum of money (more than my first two houses combined) but today it's a good crabby. Now I have to save for the buyer's tour and the photo album. I just have to peddle my C5 vert before the new one comes in.


We plan on this being a road warrior. Hopefully we can make one of the Corvette'N America tours next summer. I'm hoping it gets delivered before Vets n Vettes (and it isn't too cold for the tires).

Vets seem to like the Long Beach Red. Mine should be built next week.

Congratulations! Museum Delivery? I live close enough that I can take my wife to see one in person. She missed that day at the Bash.

No NCM delivery this time. But if you have not done it yet be sure to do it at least once. Should be on every corvette enthusiast bucket list.

I checked that box on the order form. We're only about 1+15 from NCM so it was a no-brainer.
