Default First Corvette!

Wanted to say thank you to Kerbeck Corvette and my salesman Amoni. I picked up my new Grand Sport yesterday in Atlantic City and am driving back to Michigan. The transaction was easy, the price was great and exactly as advertised and I am loving the car.


This is my first Corvette and it is awesome.

I have been on the two lane mountain roads in PA today and in no hurry to get back to Michigan, but now I do have a reason to go to the dream cruise this year

Remember to drop it into Tour mode to soften the suspension as soon as you cross into MI on I75. That first 10 mile stretch might eat chunks of your rims in Track mode

Grats! Since it is your first one, just go ahead and put a small scratch in the paint somewhere inconspicuous. This way you won't be rolling around town all puckered up worrying about someone else putting the first blemish on it

Congratulations on your new GS and welcome to the forum. The grey over red looks terrific. Have a safe drive home. I think you're going to be surprised at how comfortable this car is. I'm originally from Detroit and when my wife and I drive home to visit family when I climb out of my Corvette I still feel great. You're going to love yours, trust me.
