Looks like I might be next. Making a deal here in Montana on a 2017 with the ZR1 package. I was headed to Mustang land but they are having a world of problems with the 2018 GT and this is a lot more car for not a lot more money. Anything to be concerned about? The car has less than 3k miles so its a baby. Someone lost a job and had to trade it in and it's been sitting for awhile at a dealer. Oddly it has the Nitto Inyo tires. Are those any good?
I was in the same boat in December... Wanted to replace my '11 Mustang GT Premium and after spec'ing an '18 GT Premium, it was north of FIFTY GRAND! For a MUSTANG!! (the sticker price on my well equipped '11 GT adjusted for inflation was about $39k - could not see how the cool LCD dash and ride control were worth $12k+)
I found out I could get a '17 vette at year's end for a couple of grand more after all the incentives were applied and the smoke cleared..
Better car, better performance, more unique... It was a NO BRAINER, and every time I drive it, I am glad I did!!
Congratulation Sconn, the car's a beauty. And according to knowledgeable sources here ( I think all of them drive Torch Red Vettes also), you bought the fastest color. Enjoy, and don't forget to wave.

Ha! Too funny! And I won't forget the wave... In fact I used it on my test drive when a Torch Red Z06 drove by
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I have been considering a C7 (among several other vehicles) for a few months now. Did a ton of research (and some of it honestly scared me a little), but when the smoke cleared, it was the Vette that kept pulling at my heart.
I was considering the Z51, but knew I'd either have to find one with the Z06 grill/spoiler/side skirts already added by the previous owner or add them myself. After more thinking I was like... Why am I not just getting a Grand Sport??
Long story short... Found the one that fit the bill (minus the tranny... Yes, it has the dreaded A8 and maybe a little the color, though red is growing on me) . Local trade, barely used, great price. I think in part because the sales manager screwed up and had the mileage at 17,000 instead of 1700 when they got the car in for trade! We literally had to fix the paperwork at signing. I honestly think they booked the car out wrong because of it. Big win for me! Vettes sell for a premium in my area.
Dodge Charger in the pic is my husband's '18 Scat. It was a little nerve racking driving it home last night, but I got acquainted with her pretty fast
Congratulations! I sure hope you like attention, you’re going to get a lot of it.
Enjoy, and don't forget to wave.
