New Vette owner!!!!

I was going to wait but I'm pretty excited. Yesterday, I finalized a deal on a 2016 Torch Red Z06 convertible with 1200 miles on it. I'm picking it up tomorrow afternoon. I been looking for a few months and finally found my car!!! This is my second C7. I had a 2014 and traded it for a Porsche 911 S convertible a year and a half ago. I'm one of those guys who likes the corvette better. I also needed a car to carry my golf clubs. Haha. Just glad to be back and can't wait to play with the Z06. My first Z06. Honestly, it's a little intimidating. I'll post more pics when it's in my driveway!! I bought at a Chrysler dealer. Go figure. Previous owner traded for a Hell Cat.

I've only test driven Z06 and I must say I was extremely impressed. I expected a hard, rough ride. Instead I had a smile from ear to ear. Can't wait to get this home!! Thx to all!!

Red Vette

I had a magred c6 for 10 years (2005). I got tired of red so I now have a Corvette racing yellow C7 (2016). Your Vette is the best looking red C7 I've seen. Good luck with it!!
