Default Just another new guy

After many years of wanting a Corvette I finally decided it was time. Found it on the dealer's lot and it has exactly the options I wanted, it has dealer installed Z51 spoiler that isn't installed yet in the pictures. I grew up with my dad almost always having one, he is on his 13th and it is a 2015 Z06.

Beautiful Car enjoy it!!
From your post, I take it your dad is a big corvette guy. After your break-in find a road in mexico, we all know where one is:

Tell him you heard the 18's Stingrays are a little quicker 0-60 than the Z's. Tell him, hey "old man" you can't get that pig out of the hole anyhow. Looser BUYS LUNCH!!

He will get a kick out of YOU buying HIM LUNCH and it will be a fun at lunch with both cars together.

Trust me, he will get a kick out of it -- I'm the "Old Man" to my son who is a great guy.

Congratulations on your first Corvette. You made a great choice, it looks wonderful. Also, welcome to the Forum. There is a ton of information on this site, all you need do is use the search function or ask. Tell your Dad that we said Hi.
