Default 2016 Corvette Stingray Shark Gray

Greetings,

I had the pleasure of picking up my new 2016 yesterday. For the last 3 years, I drove a BMW - great car, but different than the Corvette. I look forward to posting a few more comments on this forum. Yesterday was a great day. Oorah.

First, thank you for your service to our country.

Congratulation on your new Vette. I am certain you will enjoy owning and driving it. I have been driving Vettes for the last 20 years. Your addiction may just be beginning.

Shark Grey is a great color.

Enjoy!

Nice
I went from a BMW M3 to my Z51. The M3 was nice but my C7 is awesome. The only thing I miss from the M3 is the Harmon Karden stereo.

I had that in my 335, and it sounded amazing. Probably the best factory audio I have ever heard... I miss that as well.

Congrats on the new ride! I also went from a BMW to a 2016 Z51 (my first Vette), and I can't sleep at night waiting to drive it the next day.
