Default I finally pulled the trigger on my first C7!!!

...and I am soooo happy!!!

I was able to find a GREAT deal on a new 2016 leftover with the options I wanted. I purchased out of state after a long, long wait and price checking on multiple websites.

It's a silver with carbon flash package 2LT Z51 AUTO, MAG RIDE, PDR.

What a machine, OMG

I am breaking it in now and so no fun just yet, I need to do the 500 miles oil change and wait a bit more to rev over 4000 rpm...

Here's my new baby

Awesome! Looks a lot like my new '17 that I picked up on Friday. See avatar. I just ordered ACS side skirts in carbon flash black to portect the paint! You might want to do that also. Will really trim out the rockers nicely. Cool car!

Congratulations... Love the silver choice. btw don't listen to this person. I've driven the Corvette in the snow all month. It destroys SUV's with the right tires... anyone who thinks it's not a year round car has not ever done what I've done with the Vette.

WELCOME! To the Forum and the C7 CLUB
As mentioned you should protect your rocker panels.The use of protective film and or skirts with GM Splash guards are really a must.
Company ACS is a vendor hear.I wouldn't give that Company a dirty diaper.
