Congratulations and welcome to C7 Land. That's a classic GS look. Coming from a C5 myself I suspect you'll be amazed at the difference.

I have to break it in and keep it under 4krpm, but on the way home at low rpm I noticed I was going 103mph/and didn't realize it!! dam

Congrats!!

Even when you will be driving it in nice warm weather, you are still going to go stare at it in the garage.

Enjoy your new ride!!

Congratulations on a beautiful new Corvette! (In the interest of full-disclosure, I have the exact same car, except it's a convertible, waiting on me to pick it up at the museum in early January). Hope you have an unseasonably short winter!

Nice Christmas present. Congrats. Nice color combo. When you get to drive your GS you will find out that the C-7 is an amazing car and it is light years ahead of the C-6. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
