Hey guys, here's the 1st picture of my 2019 Z51. The car came in on Thursday. I'll be picking up the car on Saturday and post more pictures. Also on the left there is my 2014 ZL1.

No better feeling then seeing it for the first time. Except for driving it, looking at it, washing it. It’s all so good.

congrats!

That's great!

For me, every time I buy a new Corvette, I've parted with tons of money to do so. So, yes, when I wrote a $68,300.00 personal check to pay cash in full for my new C7 - it was real!

There's no better feeling than owning a brand spanking new Corvette with NO payments!

Driving them home was a thrill each and every time!! 😊

I have the R86's on mine but they are the highly polished because they are part of the Twilight Blue Design Edition. I do believe that I noticed in the 16 brochure that you could get them in black or "comp" grey.

BUT, as usual I could be wrong......
