Gotta disagree with ya there Joe. My GS gives me a tingle in my special place every time I drive it on the street...........

What ever you can afford. I have a 2019 Stingray Convertible with a few options. It is a blast to drive.

Not looking to track, mostly for short (ish) commutes and weekend fun in the mountains during nice weather. Look forward to getting some information here! Any recommendation for option/dealers welcome!

Live in NJ. Ordered a 2LT stingray manual with NPP 2 weeks ago -- will get it in about 4-6 more weeks. Will drive it similar to you ( warm weather, weekends, etc). I never owned a corvette. Didnt even test drive it b/c I love the car so much that I was getting one regardless. I didnt want a 1 LT personally and 3 LT was overkill bc I dont need nav or PDR personally. Hope this helps.

BTW....What color is the interior?
Thanks! Interior is back. Had seen one with a grey interior and it was a beautiful combo but I like this almost as much.

What else have you driven? You can get a base model C7, manual or automatic, for less money than many pickup trucks, or you can spend well over $100K for the most potent versions. A lot depends on your expectations, I think.

Oh everything from a Dodge Ram pickup to Porsche Boxster Spyder. I tend to gravitate towards the 2 seat roadsters though.
