Perfect timing. I'm sure you're going to be feeling Thankful.

If my 2014 Z51 was any indicator, it won't be!

I am optimistic my GS will meet my expectations. If this forum and its members are any indication of what I can expect, there are many highly satisfied owners of their C7 Corvette purchases. I hope to be among them.

I am a total Grand Sport fan boy....to such an extent that I probably annoy some people. I just love mine. That solid planted feeling the car has is like unlike anything I've ever experienced. And I thought my 2004 Z06 was planted. The engine, chassis, brakes, and tires are a killer combo on this car. Then the wide body looks. Can you tell I like mine?

Hey Joe, I'm with you. Wondering if you changed your oil yourself at the 500 mile mark. I am inclined to do it myself but I don't want GM internal records showing up that I skipped this oil change and they wind up canceling my warranty. I just dread bringing in a car and having to school any tech how they need to perform a repair. I'm sure service advisors see this often and do not receive this well. I have mixed feelings over this issue.

Yes I did the 500 mile oil change myself. Just keep the receipts if there's any question. I will be doing all my oil changes. Have all the tools, it's a piece of cake.

With some luck you may get it by Thanksgiving. That's great news.

I just put my order in at Macs last week, got the allocation and the event code status should be at 2000 tomorrow. Next week I should get a TPW. Exciting times for both of us and Vader.
