Default Just ordered a C7

After seeing the long beach red ZO-6 at Carlisle in August, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 2lt convertible stingray convertible in LBR from Mac Mulkin last Thursday. Today I sold my 2011 TR GS vert to a long time friend and I have to say I'll be sorry to see it go. It has been an amazing trouble free car, but I'm sure the new Stingray will be even more amazing. The wait now begins!

You will have no regrets. I absolutely loved my 2007 convertible to the tune of 115,000 miles in 5 years. Just picked up my 2016 convertible from Kerbeck yesterday and it's like night and day. The interior, the ride, the handling and the technology not to mention the stereo system sound quality blow the C6 away.

You are going to love your Stingray! Like you and others here, I came out of a C6 that I owned since new (2005 Z51 coupe); it was the most fun car I'd ever owned up to that point. My '15 Z51 coupe is in an entirely different league, though. As great of a car as the C6 is, the C7 does everything much better. Congrats!

Congrats! Now begins the longest x weeks of your life since you were 6 years old and Santa was coming... Only a month more (give or take, mostly give...) before I'm behind the wheel
