New GS owner
Hopefully in the next few days I will be getting a new GS. It's an Arctic White 18 1LT M7, black wheels, red calipers and Z07 package. Basically no options except Z07, just the way I want it. Can't wait. First autox will be in 3 weeks.

Good choice. I'm a fan of simplicity and high performance. I'll bet you had a heck of a time finding that option combo. In my area, it seems like dealers only order the Z07 package on cars that have the 3LT / 3LZ package. Unless of course, you ordered it.

You are going to like the M7. Sure, the A8 might be "faster" in many ways......but it is just not as much fun.
I prefer the "cleaner" lines of my Stingray (and the lower cost) - but your Grand Sport is a good way to bridge the gap between the base model and the costly Z06. Most importantly, it is still a CORVETTE - and that's what matters the most.
Enjoy it and take care of your new car. Be sure to take a lot of photos!

Perfect configuration. I have a M7 1LT GS and it's perfect. It has every luxury feature you need and is very comfortable, and the price is right and the performance is great. White looks great, and the Z07 package is super cool.
