Default Ordered 2018 C7 2LT

2 weeks after selling my C5 Conv. took drive down to Kerbeck Corvette,
I couldn't believe their prices. All dealers near me (100 miles north of Kerbeck) will not discount current 2017's also all cars on their lot are either totally optioned out with options I will never use, or do not have what I was looking for. Went to Kerbeck Corvette in Atlantic City They didn't have the exact car I was looking for either but the salesman tells me no problem we can order you one and you will have it in roughly 2 months. Got an excellent price! and all options I wanted! Auto, NPP, painted Calipers, 2LT, remote start, black wheels. Oh and its a 2018.

Congratulations. I am dying to get into a C7, but I still owe too much on this 2011 Grand Sport. What color did you get?

Torch Red, thought about Yellow but remember a book I read while I had the C5 that states "All corvettes are red, the rest are just mistakes" Want to say that each time someone asks me why I got red. Previously had White conv. with black top.

Congratulations on you ordering your new 2018. You won't believe how much of an upgrade the C7 is over the C5 (and C6 too for that matter). Now the waiting starts. Be sure to post pictures when you take delivery!

The new paint facility is a massive endeavor, and once completed will be included in the tour. Apparently a complete new tour route is being designed to include the paint facility. We have done the tour several times, and will do it again the last day available and then again when reopened. It will interesting to see why it was closed for 18 months.

That's a beautiful Car! That's is exactly what I was going to order, decided against conv. since it will be my daily driver as long as the weather is nice and worried about security or something falling on the top, also noticed the conv. doesn't have vents in rear fenders that I really liked, and for 5000 less. Also coming from the C5 conv. I can count the number of times I had the top down on one hand!

Thank you all and I will post pictures as soon as I get it! Maybe not as soon as I get it as I plan to be driving it as much as I can hoping the weather stays good!
