Default Back in a Corvette! New to me C7 owner!

Hey guys, It's been a while. Upgraded from my C5 Zo6 to a C7 3LT Z51 7 speed car. I'm super excited!!! I bought it from the original owner and the car is mint. Wrote the check today and I'll pick the car up tonight. I'll take and post some pictures this weekend!

Now that is a good one. Thanks.

Welcome to the C7, I got my first one last October and it is the finest piece of machinery I have ever owned. Enjoy.

Same here. Loved my c5 z06 and missed it so much I bought a new Grand Sport. Don’t miss it at all. Neither will you with a Z51. Nice setup.

Thanks guys. The car is super clean but I'm OCD about my car's BIG TIME. It's a curse. I'll post pictures early next week after I'm done with clay bar and 3M polish/wax.

Congrats on the move to a C7. The move from a C5 to a C7 is a big one. You won't regret it.
