Just wanted to say hello and I finally bought the Corvette I always wanted. It’s a leftover 2017 Z51 with a manual. I already did my first two modifications the tinted windows and the factory splitter.

You probably saved a ton of $ on it too!

Great choice on the Z51! Congrats!

Thank you for the compliments. I still can't believe I have it. I traded in a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack and a 25k mile 2004 CTS-V for it and I don't regret it for a minute. The $16k off the sticker helped too.

The black with the chrome wheels is an awesome look. Congratulations!

Nice. The red calipers look great on that.

Unless they camouflaged the difference in your trades - you killed it!

I'll never forget driving my brand spanking new Corvettes home from the Chevrolet dealerships! I bought my first new C3, 41 years ago. I can't remember driving my brand new Mercedes-Benz home just a few years ago, which is hard to believe, but the new Corvettes ARE something special!

The dealer I bought it from gave me 10k more for both than another Chevy dealership. It was an even trade. That made me super happy. I guess they wanted it gone. It was the only one left. The dealership that gave me less money had 6 2017’s and 2 2018’s.

Again thanks for the compliments.

Exactly like my Z51 except my calipers are black. I actually like the red better. Enjoy that thing!
