Default Might be coming back

Been away for awhile. Lost my 2007 Convertible M6 to Hurricane Sandy.
Since then I went back to a Jeep and for the past year a 2015 Challenger SRT. I love the Challenger, but I miss the handling of the Vette, and mostly the drop top.
Going down to Kerbeck on Monday to see what I can work out on a new LT2 M7 Convertible.
If the numbers add up,"I'll Be Back".

That would be a 2LT. The C7 is so much better than the C6 was - I've owned both. Hope it works out for you - you'll love the C7!

You should get some good pricing from Kerbeck. I predict you will be back soon to post up some pics of your new purchase.

Yeah, 2LT, Z51, Z28, SRT, TRD, FX4, I get them all mixed up.
Anyway I'm looking at a 2LT Z51 M7, Yellow/Black Vert.

Drove my buddies Scatpack on Sunday... Great car but I agree on the handling, the Challenger feels like a big girl but she drives great and is comfy. I loved the feeling of the clutch compared to the C7, felt impossibly easy to drive smooth.

I let him drive the C7 and he kept slowing down way too much approaching turns on the backroads I took him on and I had to assure him the car could handle it.

The discounted price for this vette on Kerbeck's website is a good deal - might not last through the weekend...

I bet that if you test drive it the numbers won't mean quite so much. Way more car than the C6, and I loved my C6.
Remember to post pics of your new C7.

Chance I have to take. Weather isn't supposed to be good this weekend. Works in my favor.

Interested in hearing your results. I've been away from Corvettes for awhile myself and since I picked up my friends '96 Grand Sport, the new one has me thinking about adding a twin.

12% off and in stock and what you want. Why wait till good weather and risk someone else getting it. Nothing in the car or the deal changes by you being there, If it were me, I would contact Dave S at Kerbeck and do what you need to do via the phone. Then pick up the car when the weather is good.

Don't worry. There are plenty of what you are looking for out there. The days of "scarcity value" are long gone.
