Default New Grand Sport

Good Morning Guys,

Last month I purchased a new Grand Sport 2LT 8 speed coupe. My first auto Corvette in the last 30 years. So far so good, I don't miss the 6 speed manual yet.

Yes the color is Long Beach Red Metallic. My last C6 Grand Sport (2011) was Crystal Red Metallic. Almost went with the Black Rose (a very beautiful color) but I had to stay with the red. My wife found the car online for me. She's the best!
